Chapter 1756: Chapter 905: Wager_2
Understanding this point, Zhou Tianlong slightly sighed and waved his hand, indicating Lin Tianming to sit down.
Imdiately after, Zhou Tianlong solemnly said: “Since little friend Lin has already thought through the result and has a firm attitude, I won’t persuade you any further.”
“And if it’s because little friend Lin rejected , hence refusing the request for alchemy, it would make this old man appear a bit petty.”
“In this case, I will accept the request to refine the Buddha Heart Pill.”
Hearing this, Lin Tianming’s expression showed a trace of delight, and his breathing started to beco sowhat rapid.
At this mont, hearing Zhou Tianlong’s affirmative response, his attitude clearly not one of bla, Lin Tianming’s anxious heart finally settled.
And at this ti, before Lin Tianming could respond, Zhou Tianlong continued with a smile: “However… aside from obtaining the normal profits from refining the elixir, shouldn’t little friend Lin also pay sothing to make it fair?”
With these words, Zhou Tianlong looked at Lin Tianming with a not-quite-serious smile, his expression sowhat comical.
To this, Lin Tianming could only let out a helpless wry smile.
And in his heart, he pondered Zhou Tianlong’s words for a mont.
From Zhou Tianlong’s standpoint, being a dignified Fourth Order Alchemist assisting in the alchemy, if the profit is just the extra elixirs beyond a single pill, it would indeed seem unreasonable.
On this point, as a Third Order Alchemist himself, he was already quite aware.
Understanding this point, Lin Tianming indeed felt embarrassed at taking advantage of Zhou Tianlong, let alone daring to exploit him.
After all, he was already requesting assistance, and furthermore, the Lin Family needed to rely on the Yulan Sect in the Blood Red Alliance’s crisis.
Besides, for the Lin Family to establish a firm footing in the Central Ten States of Qingzhou, they would need to leverage the Yulan Sect’s strength, to swiftly complete the family’s strategic transition.
Due to these factors, he truly had no justification to play tricks.
Realizing this, after pondering for a mont, Lin Tianming quickly spoke again.
At this ti, Lin Tianming tentatively asked: “What request does Senior Zhou have? Please feel free to ntion it.”
“As long as I or the Lin Family can accomplish it, we will exhaust all efforts to satisfy Senior Zhou.”
Saying this, Lin Tianming looked at Zhou Tianlong across from him, patiently waiting for his response.
At this mont, Zhou Tianlong also pondered for a mont.
After a while, Zhou Tianlong then replied: “Forget it, forget it… haggling with a junior like you, truly damages my prestige.”
“In my view, how about little friend Lin makes a bet with this old man, it could be a fun endeavor. What do you think?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Tianlong looked at Lin Tianming with a smile, an expectant hue in his eyes.
Hearing these words, Lin Tianming instantly felt intrigued.
In his eyes, being able to make a bet with a top expert like Zhou Tianlong seed like an opportunity to deepen the relationship between them.
Besides, Zhou Tianlong doing this might have another layer of aning, that is, Zhou Tianlong was voluntarily giving an opportunity, just to aid him in stepping down gracefully.
After all, a Nascent Soul Stage expert needed to save face, especially soone like Zhou Tianlong, known as the strongest in Qingzhou.
Thinking of these things, Lin Tianming, in addition to his excitent, hurriedly asked a quick follow-up question.
“How does Senior Zhou propose we bet? Why not discuss the details?”
Hearing this, seeing Lin Tianming’s eager look, Zhou Tianlong couldn’t help but laugh heartily.
Then, Zhou Tianlong expressed: “As I see it, little friend Lin could either take out three Fourth Order Spiritual dicine Materials again as extra compensation for refining the Buddha Heart Pill, and I’ll accept the task.”
“Or, in this Alchemist competition, if little friend Lin can win the leader’s position.”
“Then I can forgo that extra compensation, and treat it as a special reward for you, how about it?”
Having finished speaking, Zhou Tianlong looked at Lin Tianming again, his aning already very clear.
At this mont, hearing such an explanation, Lin Tianming’s face lit up with joy.
In his view, just as he thought, Zhou Tianlong’s intention in offering this bet was just to give him a way to bow out.
Besides, Zhou Tianlong doing this was undoubtedly to help him, thus making Lin Tianming owe him a favor.
Because in Zhou Tianlong’s eyes, Lin Tianming’s growth potential was imnse, well worth investing in by granting him face, and definitely worth a long-term investnt.
Moreover, in the future, when Lin Tianming genuinely steps into the Nascent Soul Stage, obtaining a favor from him won’t be easy.
More importantly, Zhou Tianlong’s current investnt might play a crucial role when the Yulan Sect faces a significant crisis in the future.
If that truly happens, the favor he gains by helping with alchemy now could be pivotal for the Yulan Sect’s destiny.
In fact, as a creature over two thousand years old, Zhou Tianlong indeed thought this deeply.
Therefore, while considering his reputation, Zhou Tianlong also intentionally gave Lin Tianming an opportunity, simultaneously adding insurance to Yulan Sect’s fate.
With such intentions, Zhou Tianlong spoke these words.
At this mont, a ticulous person like Lin Tianming indeed beca aware of these things.
Therefore, once Zhou Tianlong laid out his conditions, Lin Tianming did not hesitate at all and directly agreed to Zhou Tianlong’s gambling terms.
At that mont, Lin Tianming’s decisive reaction seed almost as if he feared Zhou Tianlong would regret it.
However, this kind of response made Zhou Tianlong imnsely satisfied.
anwhile, through this interaction, Zhou Tianlong’s genuine appraisal of Lin Tianming also elevated once again.
In his view, Lin Tianming not only possessed a certain level of cultivation strength but also an unsurpassed growth potential.
Furthermore, Lin Tianming’s ticulous heart, steady deanor, and decisive nature cannot be overlooked.
Such a character could be considered a good seed, possessing talent, strength, wisdom, and wit.
This realization again made Zhou Tianlong feel he hadn’t chosen the wrong person.
Simultaneously, it made Zhou Tianlong feel a renewed strong resolve regarding his choice.
On this basis, the gambling terms between Zhou Tianlong and Lin Tianming were officially established.
The two then discussed the details of the bet, finally conclusively setting the terms.
As agreed, the refining process of the Buddha Heart Pill would comnce after the Alchemist conference concluded.
At that point, Lin Tianming would hand over the main materials for the Buddha Heart Pill, along with various auxiliary materials, to Zhou Tianlong.
By then, Lin Tianming only needed to stay at the Yulan Sect for a period. After the alchemy concluded, both parties would determine the final benefit exchange based on the Alchemist competition results.
Currently, only a few months remained before the Alchemist conference would begin.
During this period, Lin Tianming could stay at the Yulan Sect to prepare for the conference.
For this, Lin Tianming was extrely satisfied with Zhou Tianlong’s arrangent.
Conversely, Zhou Tianlong was also quite satisfied with this outco.
On this basis, Zhou Tianlong felt pleased, eagerly anticipating Lin Tianming’s prospects as a prodigy.
Thus, in a congenial atmosphere, Lin Tianming’s visit gradually reached its end.
After making arrangents, Lin Tianming, at last, felt relieved.
And subsequently, Lin Tianming chatted with Zhou Tianlong for a while, where flattering and testing were exchanged, which further delighted Zhou Tianlong.
Until so ti later, Lin Tianming expressed his intention to depart.
Subsequently, under Zhou Tianlong’s remark, Lin Tianming left his Cave Mansion and returned to his Temporary Cave Abode.
