At this mont, the Dragon Turtle clearly understood what Lin Tianming was thinking.
Following this, the Dragon Turtle decided not to hide anything, nor to waste everyone's ti.
Thus, in the next mont, the Dragon Turtle slowly began to speak.
"Young one, when it cos to the treasure of the Nine-Turned Golden Lotus, this sovereign is determined to obtain it."
"For this, this sovereign has planned for a long ti."
"However, the Nine-Turned Golden Lotus has not yet matured."
"According to the tiline, in a few months, it will be the day the Nine-Turned Golden Lotus matures."
"At that ti, we will gather here once again."
"Then, together, we will head to the lair where the Black Demon Dragon resides."
"And once the Black Demon Dragon discovers our traces, this sovereign will do everything to hold it off and buy you ti."
"As for what you need to do, young one, it's to seize the mont while this sovereign is engaged in battle with the Black Demon Dragon to snatch the Nine-Turned Golden Lotus and escape."
"As long as you get it and reach a safe place, this sovereign will use a secret technique to shake off the Black Demon Dragon."
"Then, we will regroup and distribute the spoils."
After saying this, the Dragon Turtle smiled slightly, seemingly very confident about this plan.
Following this, the Dragon Turtle continued to address the issue Lin Tianming was most concerned about: the distribution of benefits.
"Young one, according to this sovereign's idea, after seizing the Nine-Turned Golden Lotus, you can keep one petal as a reward for our cooperation."
"And the rest will belong to this sovereign."
"How about it?"
Upon saying this, the Dragon Turtle looked seriously at Lin Tianming, uncertain of what exactly he was thinking.
But hearing this, Lin Tianming couldn't help but chuckle, his expression rather peculiar.
Although he said nothing, his implicit sarcasm was unmistakably evident.
Seeing this, the Dragon Turtle clearly realized sothing—that Lin Tianming was not satisfied with the proposed distribution.
Thus, the Dragon Turtle couldn't help but ask, "Young one, do you feel that a single petal of the Nine-Turned Golden Lotus cannot satisfy you?"
"You should know, young one, that this sovereign is the crucial link in obtaining the Nine-Turned Golden Lotus."
"If in the upcoming plan, this sovereign is unable to hold off the powerful Black Demon Dragon, regardless of your strength, you wouldn't be able to take any petal of the Nine-Turned Golden Lotus from under the Black Demon Dragon's watchful eyes."
"Besides, this sovereign acquired the information about the Nine-Turned Golden Lotus; all the plans co from this sovereign; the specific location of the Nine-Turned Golden Lotus is known only by this sovereign."
"Without this sovereign's guidance, you wouldn't even find the place, let alone acquire the Nine-Turned Golden Lotus."
"Therefore, this sovereign, relying on powerful strength and making the greatest effort, bears the greatest risk and should rightfully earn the most profit."
With that, the Dragon Turtle suddenly changed the topic.
"And you, young one, are just at the Golden Core Stage."
"Just one petal of the Nine-Turned Golden Lotus is enough to help you break through to the Nascent Soul Stage."
"And whether your breakthrough succeeds or not, you only get one chance."
"Therefore, even if you get more petals, it wouldn't be significantly aningful for you."
"On the other hand, each petal can be of imnse use to this sovereign, achieving results far beyond your capability."
"Thus, young one, obtaining one petal is already a considerable gain for you."
The Dragon Turtle spoke righteously, seemingly having grasped Lin Tianming's mindset.
However, Lin Tianming was not an ordinary Golden Core Stage Cultivator.
Regarding strength alone, Lin Tianming was actually not too intimidated by this Dragon Turtle.
With a certain level of strength as support, Lin Tianming was more confident to strive for greater rewards.
Besides, the risk ntioned by the Dragon Turtle seed to Lin Tianming to be one he would bear the most.
After all, the strength of the Black Demon Dragon is evident, and even with the Dragon Turtle's powerful interference, Lin Tianming would surely face great obstacles in acquiring the Nine-Turned Golden Lotus.
Thus, the risk Lin Tianming faced in this plan was not lesser than that of the Dragon Turtle, and possibly even higher.
Yet, these were rely so of Lin Tianming's reasons for feeling imbalanced.
Moreover, Lin Tianming's need for the Nine-Turned Golden Lotus was certainly not just one petal.
After all, the Lin Family had nurous Golden Core Stage clansn, and among them, more than five were at the Late Stage Golden Core realm.
Adding to the current circumstance, the Lin Family constantly faced the threat from the Blood Red Alliance.
Thus, at present, what the Lin Family needs most is Nascent Soul Spiritual Items.
In terms of such treasures, the Lin Family wouldn't find having more to be cumberso.
Currently, if the plan were indeed executed as the Dragon Turtle suggested and nine petals of the Golden Lotus were obtained but Lin Tianming only got one, his heart would surely be discontent, if not entirely dissatisfied.
It's crucial to know that Lin Tianming has to pay quite a price and bear considerable risk but would only receive one-ninth of the benefit.
In contrast, although the Dragon Turtle provided the information, devised the plan, and was the strongest combat force, it could earn over eighty percent of the reward.
This significant disparity was extrely hard for Lin Tianming to accept.
Thus, hearing the Dragon Turtle's proposed distribution sche, Lin Tianming was instantly disappointed.
Simultaneously, the expression and the sneering smile on Lin Tianming's face consistently exuded a sense of disdainful mockery.
The Dragon Turtle seed to perceive this too.
Nonetheless, in the Dragon Turtle's view, Lin Tianming didn't deserve more.
Therefore, the Dragon Turtle appeared calm, not considering the sche would face opposition.
But in the following mont, Lin Tianming didn't intend to waste more words with the Dragon Turtle.
Hence, at this mont, Lin Tianming, with a cold smile, said, "Senior Dragon Turtle, although this junior may lack your strength, be neither the provider of information nor the one who devises the plan."
"But should the plan succeed, and we acquire all nine petals, which the junior only gets one, isn't that a bit too little?"
"You should know, the risk this junior bears is by no ans inferior to yours."
"More importantly, no one would think of such treasures as too many."
"Even if this junior temporarily needs only one, there are many among my kin who require such treasures."
After saying this, Lin Tianming's expression remained calm and unperturbed, showing great confidence, seemingly unafraid of the Dragon Turtle's anger.
Moreover, Lin Tianming intentionally released a hint of his aura, allowing a powerful sense of pressure to emanate unreservedly.
At this mont, hearing Lin Tianming's words, the Dragon Turtle initially felt a bit of anger.
But upon sensing Lin Tianming's aura, the Dragon Turtle clearly realized Lin Tianming's strength was far beyond what it assessed.
Before, the Dragon Turtle thought Lin Tianming's strength wasn't weak; yet, facing it directly, he likely couldn't endure even three rounds.
Consequently, the Dragon Turtle always assud it held absolute dominance, considering Lin Tianming easily swayed under its control.
Including the conditions it proposed, Lin Tianming had no room for negotiation.
Yet, now, sensing Lin Tianming's aura showed it was not much weaker than the Dragon Turtle itself.
Under such aura pressure, if the two engaged in a skirmish, Lin Tianming might not be the Dragon Turtle's match, but at least wouldn't be completely powerless.
Even if Lin Tianming decided to fight desperately, the Dragon Turtle might suffer a significant loss.
Perhaps realizing this point, the Dragon Turtle's initial attitude of looking down on Lin Tianming evaporated instantly.
This change occurred in an instant.
Of course, the Dragon Turtle itself was aware of this change alone.
