Evil Master and Disciple

Chapter 1438 Reaching an Agreement

The second type of cultivation resource on the list is refined gold and mithril.

This thing is the main material for refining weapons.

Especially for immortal swords, regardless of their attributes or grade, a large amount of refined gold and mithril is required during the forging process.

The production of fine gold and mithril in the Central Plains is very small; most of it comes from the Western Regions and is extremely expensive.

The Western Regions are the stronghold of the Demonic Sect, which possesses a large amount of refined gold and mithril.

Originally, Master Yunyi's condition was 1.3 million catties of refined gold and silver.

Now they've cut it down to the ankles, and it's only 300,000 jin (150 tons).

For a weapon refiner from the Cloud Sea Sect to forge a mid-grade immortal sword, aside from other materials, it would require about two pounds of refined gold and mithril alone.

Three hundred thousand catties is probably enough for the Cloud Sea Sect to forge 150,000 immortal swords.

The third cultivation resource is a plant called the Heavenly Dragon Flower, which only grows in the Thunder Swamp.

That Raize is the backyard of the Demonic Cult.

The Heavenly Dragon Flower is no ordinary plant; it is a magical herb imbued with spiritual energy. Many of the Cloud Sea Sect's elixirs require the Heavenly Dragon Flower, such as the Rejuvenation Pill and the Spirit Gathering Pill.

Master Yunyi offered 100,000 Heavenly Dragon Flowers, and the Demonic Sect did not haggle, sticking with the same price of 100,000. This shows that the Demonic Sect must possess a large quantity of Heavenly Dragon Flowers.

The fourth type of cultivation resource is the Spirit Sound Stone.

This thing doesn't exist in the Central Plains or the Western Regions; it only exists in the Western Sea.

The Western Sea was also within the sphere of influence of the Demonic Sect.

One of the main raw materials for the Spirit Sound Mirror is the Spirit Sound Stone.

The Cloud Sea Sect is not lacking in immortal swords and magical artifacts, nor is it lacking in spirit crystals and spirit stones. What the Cloud Sea Sect truly lacks is the Spirit Sound Mirror, which has no offensive power.

The Cloud Sea Sect has over 40,000 disciples, but the total number of Spirit Sound Mirrors in the entire sect is less than 300.

As a result, the Cloud Sea Sect has very strict control over the Spirit Sound Mirror. Most of it is in the hands of the Spirit Treasure Academy, the Heavenly Salary Academy, and the Shadow Division. Even elders of the status of Jade Dragon Venerable do not have the Spirit Sound Mirror.

That's why the three women were overjoyed when Ye Feng gave the Lingyin Mirror to Yun Shuang'er, Shen Tianqi, and Shangguan Lan.

The Spirit Sound Mirror is like a cell phone in this world. It can transmit messages instantly.

Master Yunyi knew that Xuan Yingzhe possessed at least a hundred or so Spirit Sound Mirrors.

The other Spirit Sound Mirrors of the Cloud Sea Sect are all in the Heavenly Salary Academy and the Spirit Treasure Academy, and there is simply not enough to go around. In order to fight against the Mysterious Shadows, the Cloud Sea Sect leader must have a batch of Spirit Sound Mirrors.

Master Yunyi wanted to obtain 60,000 catties of spirit sound stones from the Demonic Sect, which would be enough to refine more than a hundred spirit sound mirrors.

The Demonic Sect cut back on this quantity, giving only 30,000 jin.

Master Yunyi carefully read through the two-page list.

His expression was serious, but he was very satisfied inside.

He was a shrewd businessman. In the previous two rounds of negotiations, he made exorbitant demands, waiting for the Demonic Sect to bargain.

He now knows the Demonic Cult's bottom line.

However, in order to maximize his profits, Master Yunyi did not appear to be very satisfied.

He said calmly, "Your demonic sect has existed for thousands of years, each of you possessing profound foundations. Now you're trying to fob me off with these things?"

Fairy Ziyin said, "Master, this is our bottom line. Take amethyst for example. Our Holy Sect controls many high-quality amethyst veins, but there is a limit to the amount we can mine each year. You need five million catties of high-quality amethyst, which is the total mining volume of our Holy Sect for thirteen years. The number of amethysts in the warehouses of our major sects is not much. After many days of piecing together, five hundred thousand catties is the limit."

And then there's the Spirit Sound Stone. This thing is only found deep in the Western Sea, and it's extremely difficult to mine. It's not ordinary laborers who are used; all of them are disciples of the Holy Sect who personally go down into the sea to mine it. Even 30,000 is the limit.

Let's talk about the Heavenly Dragon Flower. The Five Poisons Sect happens to have 80,000 Heavenly Dragon Flowers. Our sects pooled our resources and managed to gather 100,000. So we didn't make any changes to the number of Heavenly Dragon Flowers. This is our sincerity.

The Lord's power now threatens the entire human realm. According to analysis, that Lord is very likely a spy planted by the Heavenly Realm in the human world.

Celestial cultivators could invade the mortal realm at any moment. We must act quickly to remove this thorn in our side. If we don't eliminate the Lord's forces before the celestial cultivators invade the mortal realm, then our mortal realm will be in danger.

The True Man is the leader of the righteous path in the world, and should prioritize the greater good…

Master Yunyi looked at Fairy Ziyin, then looked down at the list in front of him, seemingly lost in thought.

After about half a cup of tea's time, Venerable Yunyi finally spoke: "What the fairy says is very true. The mortal realm does not only belong to the righteous cultivators, but also to your demonic sect cultivators. If the celestial cultivators really appear, it will be a great blow to both of us."

"So the real person agreed."

"I still have two conditions."

"Please tell me, real person."

"First, release Ye Feng immediately."

Fairy Ziyin said, "As long as we get the list from the True Person, Ye Feng will appear."

"Secondly, the fairy said before that if celestial cultivators appear, the righteous and demonic factions will surely form an alliance again. The mortal realm cannot be leaderless, and the righteous path and the demonic sect will each put forward a leader to lead the heroes. I don't care who the leader of your demonic sect is, but the leader of our righteous path... hehe..."

Master Yunyi smiled gently and said nothing more.

Fairy Ziyin said, "Rest assured, Master. What I said before represents the will of the Holy Sect. If we cooperate, the sect leaders of the Holy Sect will all suggest that you lead the heroes of the righteous path."

Master Yunyi seemed to care a lot about this matter.

He said, "Fairy, good and evil have been irreconcilable since ancient times. When the various factions within our righteous path elect their leaders, can your demonic sect really have any say in the matter?"

Fairy Ziyin said, "Regardless of whether my words to the Poison God and the others have any effect, we will issue a public announcement in the name of the sect to create momentum for you. As for whether you can ultimately become the number one person of the righteous path, we cannot guarantee that."

Although the Yunhai Sect's overall strength is currently higher than that of the Xuanzhen Sect, the Xuanzhen Sect's leader, Xuanjizi, has already reached the Heavenly Limit Realm.

Master Yunyi nodded slowly and said, "I am well aware of this. As long as the major sects of your Demonic Sect publicly declare their support for me, the outcome is none of your concern."

Fairy Ziyin said, "It seems our negotiations have ended. I wonder when we will receive the list."

Master Yunyi smiled and said, "I have already prepared the list, but in business, it is customary to settle accounts upon payment."

"Understood. The items on the list will appear in front of the real person in seven days at the earliest and fifteen days at the latest."

"Then let's wait until you're all ready before we make the deal."
