Since the other party could reveal the secret of his Feiyun Sect with just one sentence, it seemed they did not intend to exterminate them completely. As long as they did not intend to exterminate them completely, there was still room for negotiation.
"Don't worry, Master Liu. If I wanted to kill you, I would have done it the moment you walked in."
"I just wanted to show Feiyun Sect a way to survive."
Way out?
Liu Qiankun cast a suspicious glance at Li Wen. They were merely passing acquaintances, yet this master of the Tianji Pavilion had first saved Jun Yao, and now he was claiming he would help the Feiyun Sect.
Where in the world is there such a good thing?
Could it be that the master of the Tianji Pavilion is trying to cast a long line to catch a big fish?
But now, the lives of both master and disciple were in the hands of the other party, so he had no choice but to agree.
"What do you mean by a way out, senior?"
Li Wen smiled and said, "That depends on how Master Liu wants Feiyun Sect to survive."
"Master, at the Tianji Pavilion, Senior Li can deduce everything. As long as you pay the corresponding price... any opportunity can be bought from him."
Jun Yao's divine assist truly made Li Wen applaud.
Sure enough, Liu Qiankun's brows furrowed slightly, and he finally raised his head slowly: "If possible, I would like to ask the senior to guide me on a path that can restore Feiyun Sect to its peak period."
"If possible, Liu Qiankun is willing to pay any price he can afford."
Li Wen stroked his chin and said, "What's so difficult about that? The peak period of the Feiyun Sect was merely ten thousand years ago, during the time of the founding patriarch, Master Xuanyin."
"However, even back then, Feiyun Sect had only a half-saint in charge!"
This master of the Tianji Pavilion, could he really know the affairs of the Feiyun Sect so clearly?
Could it be that there truly exists a method of brilliance?
Thinking of this, Liu Qiankun couldn't help but get excited: "Please, enlighten me, senior."
Li Wen took a sip of tea, but at that moment, he put on an inscrutable expression.
Jun Yao immediately understood what Li Wen meant: "Master, the secrets of heaven cannot be divulged. Acquiring opportunities from Senior Li requires paying the corresponding price."
"I see, it seems I was being presumptuous."
"Senior, just say it directly. What price is needed to restore Feiyun Sect to its peak period?"
Li Wen smiled and said, "That's simple. As long as you become a semi-saint, Feiyun Sect can naturally restore its glorious period. I roughly calculated it; at least we would have to sell off ninety percent of Feiyun Sect's assets!"
*Cough cough*... Liu Qiankun almost choked on his own saliva. Feiyun Sect's ninety percent foundation?
Whether he succeeded or not, he would become the eternal sinner of the Feiyun Sect! "Senior, selling off ninety percent of the Feiyun Sect's foundation... I really cannot agree to this..."
In fact, Li Wen did not ask how much Heavenly Dao value it would take for the Heavenly Dao Stele to make Liu Qiankun a half-saint.
After all, just the lowest opportunity for longevity cost him a full thirty thousand Heavenly Dao points. This semi-saint opportunity, I'm afraid, would start at least in the millions.
Even if it were sold to Liu Qiankun, he might not necessarily grasp its mysteries.
Liu Qiankun's face was full of bitterness: "Senior, is there any other way to resolve Feiyun Sect's urgent crisis?"
Upon hearing this, Li Wen smiled gently, "You mean the way to unlock the secrets of the Wind Cave, right?"
Wind Cave!
Liu Qiankun shuddered instinctively.
The Wind Cave, the most mysterious forbidden area of the Feiyun Sect, was a place even he, as the sect leader, had no right to enter.
Only a few of the Supreme Elders who have reached the realm of immortality can uncover its mysteries.
Anyone who managed to walk out of the Wind Cave had undoubtedly gained immense benefits.
But ever since the three Supreme Elders were trapped and perished in the Wind Cave yesterday, that place has become Liu Qiankun's curse.
"Do you truly have the means to unravel the Wind Cave, senior?"
"That is natural; Tianji Pavilion has never sold false information. However, to enter the Wind Cave, one must have the cultivation level of the Longevity Realm. With your current cultivation level, I'm afraid you wouldn't even make it into the Wind Cave before being torn to pieces by the opposing gales within."
Speaking of this, Li Wen suddenly stood up and gave Liu Qiankun a smile full of meaning.
"Master Liu, how about you achieve immortality first?"
Now that Shangguan Zhaixing has just left, the opportunity for immortality should still be within the Liangyi Mountain. If I sell this information to Liu Qiankun, wouldn't I be making a pure profit?
"Senior, are you willing to teach me the method of immortality?"
Liu Qiankun was somewhat excited. In this vast world, the strong are revered. Who wouldn't want to enhance their own strength?
"Three celestial treasures, and I will help you achieve immortality, no deceit!"
After all, it was second-hand news, and just now I had earned a total of fifty thousand Heavenly Dao points from Shangguan Zhaixing.
Nowadays, three high-level heavenly treasures would cost at least twenty thousand Heavenly Dao points. Selling second-hand information to Liu Qiankun at half the price isn't too unscrupulous.
"Three celestial treasures?"
Liu Qiankun widened his eyes. After so many years of cultivating the Dao, he had only acquired four Heaven-tier magical treasures in total. Yet, the master of the Tianji Pavilion had quite the appetite, wanting to take away more than half in one go!
Li Wen raised an eyebrow: "What, is there a problem?"
You should know that he had half of the fee waived, yet how come even the powerful alchemists nowadays are so stingy!
"No, no, no, after all, it's an opportunity for immortality, three heavenly treasures, truly not expensive."
"It's just..."
"It's just that two of the four heavenly treasures on Liu's body are items inherited from the Feiyun Sect and cannot be traded with you, senior. I wonder if we can exchange them for something of equal value?"
"I can use other items to make up for the absence of this third Heaven-tier magical treasure."
Li Wen nodded.
Anyway, he was just using it to exchange for Heavenly Dao points. As long as the price was right, it didn't matter whether it was a Heaven-tier treasure or not.
Liu Qiankun, seeing Li Wen agree, handed over his sword, hairpin, and a white jade porcelain bottle to Li Wen.
[Detected two celestial artifacts, one bottle of Xuanhuo Pills, totaling twenty-four thousand Heavenly Dao points.]
[Would you like to proceed with the exchange?]
24,000?
As expected of the master of the Feiyun Sect, he casually brings out so many good things.
[Stele, could you replicate a copy of the secret key to breaking the formation of Liangyi Mountain?]
[Recreating the key to break the formation requires consuming three thousand points of Heavenly Dao value. Do you wish to proceed with the recreation?]
Li Wen nodded directly.
In the next moment, both the two heavenly treasures and the elixirs were all exchanged for Heavenly Dao points.
Immediately, an ancient wooden box appeared in Li Wen's hand.
Another twenty-one thousand points of Heavenly Dao value in hand, this wave is a sure win with no losses!
