Seeing the expressions on everyone’s faces, Su Yang naturally knew what they were thinking.
He smiled slightly and said aloud, "The difference between my rules and the dical Saint Sect’s is that I won’t require the Great Sects to take out their secret manuals and treasures and make them available at the dical Saint Sect."
The crowd was taken aback; they had thought Su Yang would demand even more, putting forth conditions even more outrageous than those of the dical Saint Sect. In fact, everyone had prepared themselves, agreeing to any condition as long as Su Yang didn’t destroy their sects.
After all, Su Yang’s strength was far greater than that of the dical Saint Sect; indeed, he had the right to demand more.
But then, Su Yang’s statent left everyone in surprise. At the sa ti, they didn’t know whether to feel happy or uneasy. Su Yang didn’t want anything, which didn’t seem logical. Was he perhaps holding back an even bigger move?
Su Yang’s expression remained calm as he smiled and said, "Your heritage is your heritage. Can you justify handing over the legacy of your own sects to others? If others have the sa heritage as your sect, is there still a need for your sect to exist?"
The faces of the people turned to each other, and many heaved deep sighs. They, of course, understood this principle, but under the threat of the dical Saint Sect’s overwhelming power, what choice did they have, even if they understood?
Now, since Su Yang didn’t want their heritage, everyone suddenly felt that as long as they could preserve their sects, as long as they could survive, they could accept whatever demands Su Yang made. Moreover, whatever the demands, they would be far better than those of the dical Saint Sect.
While the crowd was whispering among themselves, Su Yang spoke again, "On the contrary, I will offer so secret techniques, pill refining thods, and lost dical arts to the Great Sects of the Divine Physicians Alliance."
"What?" The people on the scene almost exclaid at the sa ti, all with shocked faces, looking at Su Yang incredulously.
As the leader of the Divine Physicians Alliance, Su Yang, in plain terms, had all the sects under his command. By rights, he should only be demanding from the sects of the Divine Physicians Alliance, not giving things to them.
But what was happening now? Su Yang wasn’t taking anything and was even offering his own belongings to the Great Sects? What exactly was he thinking?
With Su Yang’s dical skills and his strength, his secret manuals and dical techniques, the items he would offer—could they be simple?
"Master Su, are you serious?" soone cautiously asked, with everyone else looking at Su Yang with hopeful faces.
"Of course, it’s true!" Su Yang chuckled. "However, we still adhere to the principle of fairness in our affairs. If everyone wants to take sothing from the Divine Physicians Alliance, naturally they should also contribute sothing to the Alliance. That is fair trade, isn’t it?"
The hearts of everyone sank instantly. After all was said and done, wasn’t Su Yang still harboring designs on their possessions? Besides their heritage, what else could they have to exchange with Su Yang for those secret techniques?
In this regard, there really was no difference from the approach the dical Saint Sect had proposed earlier.
Not quite, to say there was no difference wouldn’t be right; in fact, it was even less advantageous than the previous dical Saint Sect’s thod.
The dical Saint Sect had intended to put everyone’s secret manuals together for all to study. This way, each person could see everyone else’s secret manuals.
What Su Yang was doing now was to use his own secret techniques in exchange. But the secret techniques given to him would only be seen by him, not the others.
If this happened, all the secret techniques of the sects would end up with Su Yang. And eventually, Su Yang would be the only one to possess the secret techniques of all sects. Then what would be left for the other sects?
This situation caused the faces of those from the Divine Farr Sect to shift subtly.
Elder Jeang couldn’t help feeling disappointed and asked, "Master Su, may I inquire what we can offer in exchange for your secret techniques to the Divine Physicians Alliance?"
Everyone was all ears, If Su Yang said he wanted their heritage, they could stop pondering over it. Their own heritage, they really couldn’t bear to part with it!
"What I want is simple, just so rare dicinal herbs," Su Yang said. "Everyone just needs to bring so rare and valuable herbs, and you can co to for an exchange!"
At these words, the crowd at the scene imdiately erupted into a commotion, with everyone getting excited.
"Exchange... exchange with dicinal herbs?"
"Secret dical techniques can be exchanged with dicinal herbs? Did I hear that wrong?"
"My goodness, dicinal herbs can be exchanged for secret techniques? How... how is that possible?"
"Herbs can be regrown, but secret techniques and the likes are the most precious. If they can be exchanged like this, then... how many herbs would it take for an exchange?"
"If it’s truly a mystical secret technique, no matter how many herbs it takes to exchange, it would be worth it!"
The chatter was relentless, each person was excited to the extre.
Just as they said, herbs can be regrown. Even the most cherished herbs could be cultivated if the thods are known, and barring especially precious ones, other herbs are relatively easy to obtain for these dical sects.
Elder Jeang was also stunned. He had a great deal of trust in Su Yang. When Su Yang ntioned exchanging items, he felt uneasy, wondering if he had inadvertently invited a villain.
Who could have expected that Su Yang’s demands would be so simple?
Elder Jeang took a deep breath, trying to suppress the excitent in his heart, and asked with a shaky voice, "Then... Master Su, what kind of herbs do you actually need?"
Everyone imdiately looked towards Su Yang, this was also their biggest concern.
"That would depend on the specifics of the secret technique," Su Yang said with a smile. "Let’s put it this way, I will be offering a recipe for the Vitality Healing Pill and its refining thod next. And for this secret technique..."
Everyone’s ears were practically perked up, staring at Su Yang, their hearts suspended in anticipation.
The Vitality Healing Pill was a crucial spiritual dicine for those below the rank of Terrestrial Immortal. The thod to refine it had long been lost; the dical Saint Sect’s revival of it was enough to shock everyone.
Whoever could refine the Vitality Healing Pill would see their sect’s strength and status ascend a level.
For such a secret technique, what kind of herbs would it take to make an exchange?
Actually, in everyone’s hearts, there was a great deal of trepidation. In their eyes, all the stored herbs of the sect combined were not as valuable as the recipe for a Vitality Healing Pill, so how could they make an exchange?
Su Yang smiled faintly and said softly, "The recipe for the Vitality Healing Pill requires a Millennium Ginseng in exchange."
Once this statent was made, the whole place was in an uproar, with everyone doubting whether they had heard incorrectly.
Elder Jeang was almost dumbfounded. His eyes widened as he stamred, "Just a Millennium Ginseng... can be exchanged for the recipe of the Vitality Healing Pill?"
