"Ahem!" Rean quickly shook his head. "Futuxei, as I ntioned, we have absolutely no intention of causing you any harm, let alone take your Core. First of all, I heard that all Demon Plants are usually united even though the sa race cores are very beneficial. Why would you think we want to take your Core for another World Swallowing Cedar?"
Futuxei snorted, not dropping his guard. "Hmph! Indeed, most Demon Plants are indeed United, but that's not the case with the World Swallowing Cedars. In the end, there are just way too few of us that Uniting makes pretty much no difference. That said, we would rather take our kin's Core and beco stronger ourselves."
Rean and Kentucky looked at each other before looking back at Futuxei. "So... what exactly do we need to do to prove that we don't want to cause you harm, much less take your Core?"
Futuxei had to admit he couldn't think of a way to prove that. A little of the killing intent disappeared as Futuxei didn't see Rean and Kentucky looking like they wanted to attack. "First... tell what you want from , then we can see if this conversation is worth continuing or if I should just suck you dry of your life forces and Divine Energy."
Rean nodded. However, he didn't say anything. Instead, he called Roan, who was the person who truly needed Futuxei's help.
*Zush!*
Sure enough, Roan appeared on Rean and Kentucky's side, making Futuxei even more suspicious. After all, there were three Initial Stage Space-Ti Realm experts right in front of him. Even if he is in the Late Stage, fighting three at the sa ti would be difficult.
Yet, Roan didn't talk much. Instead, he took a pill from inside the Soul Gem Dinsional Realm and threw it to Futuxei, who used his Divine Energy to grab it. Futuxei checked the pill with his Divine Sense and quickly found that the pill had so kind of weird reaction to the Laws of Wood. "What kind of pill is this? I've never seen this one."
Roan nodded. "Obviously, the recipe for this pill was created by myself, and I've never taken it out before. The na of the pill is the Earth Life Pill. It increases the level of perception towards the Laws of Wood several tis, increasing your speed of comprehension even further. Simply put, the greatest hurdle during the Space-Ti Realm, the comprehension of laws, can be greatly reduced if you consu this."
Futuxei's killing intent disappeared without a trace after hearing that. "This... is that true?" The pill could, instead, be poison. If he took it, he might die... or so he thought. Yet, absolutely didn't give it back to Roan and quickly sent it into his own Pocket Dinsional Realm.
Even if Futuxei didn't have a pill for the Absorption Laws, having one for the Laws of Wood was already a huge help. He could finish the comprehension of the Laws of Wood first and then completely focus on his Absorption Laws. Just how much ti of cultivation could he save like that?
Roan saw that and didn't mind. "Whether you believe it or not, that's the truth. The reason I showed you this pill and even gave you one is very simple: I'm working on a pill that works for the Absorption Laws. Unfortunately, I need at least soone who can provide information regarding these laws, and it has to be soone at least in the Middle Stage. You are in the Late Stage, so that's even better."
Futuxei felt like he had struck it rich. However, he was very old and experienced. Roan's words also confird another fact. "Since you have a Pill for the Laws of Wood and want to create one for the Laws of Absorption, that ans you have a World Swallowing Cedar in your group, right? Is this other cedar also inside your Dinsional Realms?"
Rean nodded. There wasn't much of a point in denying it. "He is, but I'm not taking him out since you don't seem very happy to have another World Swallowing Cedar nearby."
Roan cut there. "Enough. The agreent I can make with you is very simple. You will help devise a recipe for the Absorption Laws. In exchange, I'll give you one of the pills. The Pill effect is permanent, and taking more than one has no effect, so this is already a huge paynt. Do you want it? If you don't, then I'll just take my pill back."
Futuxei pondered about the issue. He didn't even know if the pill he got from Roan was real or not, let alone that he could make a new recipe for Absorption Laws. Besides, he didn't like how Roan said he could take the pill back. Didn't that an Roan thought Futuxei to be weak enough to lose even with his much higher cultivation? "Little boy, do you think you have what it takes to take that pill back from again?"
"Hehe!" Roan coldly laughed. "That we can find very easy. However, this is not the question you should be asking. What you should be asking yourself is if it is worth making an enemy of and never getting the chance of acquiring an Absorption Laws pill. Are you willing to lose this chance? World Swallowing Cedars might be extrely rare, but I refuse to believe I can't find another one if enough ti is given."
Futuxei imdiately went silent. Indeed, was it truly worth losing that opportunity? As small as the chances might be, it was just too enticing. "You want to take your Earth Life Pill back if I don't accept, right? How about this: I will consu this pill and test it with the Laws of Wood. If it is the real deal, then we can work together. But if it doesn't, that also ans you lost a pill for nothing."
Roan normally wouldn't care if he could achieve his objective. It's just that there was a problem with that condition. "If you want to test the pill, then that's fine for . However, I truly would rather wait for the Absorption Laws Pill to be ready. The reason is simple: As they are the sa type of pill regarding laws, if you take the Earth Life Pill now, your body will create so resistance towards this kind of pill in the future. Simply put, once you get your Absorption Laws Pill, it will help you, but it won't be anywhere close to what the Earth Life Pill would do towards the Laws of Wood."
"But if you take both pills together, your body won't create a resistance so soon, so you can take advantage of the full potential of both pills," Roan explained. "The decision is yours. If you truly want, then go ahead and use my Earth Life Pill now."
And as always, any Golden Tickets and Stones are welco. ;)
