Chapter 616: Chapter 342 Li Xiuyuan Visits_2 Chapter 616: Chapter 342 Li Xiuyuan Visits_2 “Being able to let this item circulate in the Dragon Mountain Market, the Zhenyang Sect is naturally aware of it.”
“In that case, since they don’t intervene, they clearly believe this thing poses no great threat to their expedition into the Secret Realm.”
“Heh heh… The two fellow Daoists speak sensibly.”
After nodding in agreent, Hu Yuan imdiately continued: “I also bought this thing from an underground black market, so it’s probably not genuine.”
“And the three Great Sects have already entered more than ten tis, after long-term exploration they must have collected so territories, and even left behind complete map information.”
“Unfortunately, they will definitely not reveal it to us.”
“Otherwise, we could think of a way to get the information from the hands of the Sect Cultivators of the Zhenyang Sect who enter the Secret Realm.”
...
Upon hearing this, Lin Tianming knew that Hu Yuan must be thinking of people like Li Xiuyuan.
He smiled faintly and said, “Daoist Hu is thinking too much, there will naturally be so news within the Zhenyang Sect, but those Sect Cultivators entering won’t know much either.”
“Even if they do know, I’m afraid no one would dare take the risk to leak it.”
After hearing these words, Hu Yuan also spoke up.
“True, they are likely to give these ssages to their Disciples just before entering the Secret Realm.”
“Otherwise, nobody can guarantee that Sect Disciples won’t take risks out of desperation.”
“And such an arrangent can indeed prevent Cultivators from feathering their own nests and leaking information opportunistically.”
After hearing this, Lin Tianming and Zheng Xiao both nodded, agreeing with these views.
After a while, Hu Yuan continued to ask, “So once we enter the Secret Realm, how should we converge together? And how should we distribute the treasures?”
Upon hearing this, Lin Tianming nodded and then echoed the sentint.
“Indeed… Let’s agree on the distribution of benefits first, before resorting to arms, so as to not let the treasures sour the relationship!”
After hearing both of their views, Zheng Xiao smiled faintly and then shared his own opinion.
“We don’t have the foundation of the three Great Sects, nor do we have Magic Artifacts to sense teammates, so converging can only depend on luck.”
“As for the distribution plan, it’s natural for everyone to share equally.”
“If there are items that can’t be split evenly, or there are extras after the distribution, we can compensate with an equivalent amount of Spirit Stones.”
No sooner had his words fallen than Hu Yuan frowned and said bluntly, “If we are lucky enough to converge together and happen to discover a Nascent Soul Spiritual Item, I’m afraid neither fellow Daoist would be willing to give it up!”
Hu Yuan’s words struck at the heart of the matter; at their level of cultivation, ordinary items could naturally be split evenly, and even at a slight loss, it wouldn’t matter much.
But when it ca to Nascent Soul Spiritual Items, it’s unlikely that anyone would give up on them easily.
Thus, conflict would inevitably arise.
At that mont, seeing Lin Tianming kept silent, the two of them then asked, “Fellow Daoist Lin, do you have any opinions?”
Upon hearing this, Lin Tianming let out a wry smile, then said, “Fellow Daoists, let’s not damage our harmonious relationship!”
“Heh heh… To , whether we can successfully converge together is still quite uncertain.”
“As for the Nascent Soul Spiritual Item, it’s not that easy to find, and even if found, it surely won’t be easy to obtain!”
“In my opinion, we distribute the common treasures equally, and if we really are fortunate enough to encounter a Nascent Soul Spiritual Item with only one available, we deal with the Demonic Beasts first.”
“Once we’ve cleared the obstacles, we don’t need to hide, conceal, or even strike at each other in the dark.”
“In a word, life and death are fated, and each relies on their own ability; whoever gets it, it’s theirs.”
Upon hearing Lin Tianming’s series of remarks, Hu Yuan laughed heartily and then nodded in agreent.
“Haha… Putting oneself first before acting righteous, I have no objections!”
Seeing Hu Yuan speaking this way, Zheng Xiao also chid in.
“Since the two fellow Daoists have spoken to this extent, naturally I won’t object.”
“However, we should still make a Heart Demon Oath. If we truly encounter a Nascent Soul Spiritual Item, before we have cleared the obstacles, the three of us must not engage in mutual slaughter.”
“Good, let’s do it that way!” Lin Tianming nodded as he spoke.
Seeing this, Hu Yuan also expressed his agreent.
Soon after, the three of them took the Heart Demon Oath right in front of each other and agreed on many specific details of their cooperation.
With this important matter settled, the attitudes among the three of them changed a lot, becoming much more sincere.
Afterward, the three of them chatted idly for a while before Hu Yuan and another took their leave.
After seeing off the two guests, Lin Tianming, now finding himself with so free ti, was about to enter his practice room for cultivation.
Just at that mont, a transmission flew into his cave dwelling.
Quickly, Lin Tianming deactivated the security asures, and Li Xiuyuan entered the cave dwelling.
From a distance, Li Xiuyuan cheerily called out a greeting.
“Lin, my younger brother, it’s been two years, how have you been recently?”
Seeing Li Xiuyuan, Lin Tianming was overjoyed and hastily returned the greeting.
“Haha… Thank you for your concern, brother Li, I am doing well!”
“That’s good to hear. I heard from junior brother Zhao that you’d co, so I hurried over to et you. I hope I haven’t bothered you, Lin!”
“Hehe… With a distinguished guest like you, I’m extrely welcoming, and there’s no such thing as a bother!”
“Co, have a seat and try so of the Spiritual Tea you brought!”
Lin Tianming hospitably invited Li Xiuyuan to sit opposite him as they began to sip tea and chat leisurely.
In a little while, after exchanging a few courtesies, Lin Tianming then began to inquire about the purpose of Li Xiuyuan’s visit.
To this, Li Xiuyuan chuckled and simply said that he ca by to renew their friendship.
Hearing this, Lin Tianming smiled faintly, and during the casual conversation, he subtly probed for information about the Tyrant Spirit Ape as well as the extermination of the Xu Family.
Besides that, including the situation in the Tianfeng Secret Realm, he also discreetly raised so doubts, hoping to glean so useful information from Li Xiuyuan.
Regrettably, it seed Li Xiuyuan was not privy to the details, which were in line with their speculations.
However, it was also possible that Li Xiuyuan did know sothing but was not willing to divulge.
Seeing that it was unlikely he would obtain any information, Lin Tianming did not dwell on the matter, and hence inquired about the situation regarding the other two Great Sects.
On this matter, Li Xiuyuan did not withhold anything and took a book from his storage bag and handed it to Lin Tianming.
Lin Tianming took the book and glanced through it, a hint of joy flashing across his face.
The book contained a record of those from the Golden Sword Sect and the Myriad dicine Valley who might enter the Secret Realm, along with a list of their nas.
So of the Cultivators with powerful cultivation were even highlighted in detail, which was exceedingly thorough.
Pleased with this, Lin Tianming was very satisfied and felt reconciled regarding Li Xiuyuan’s actions.
In truth, it wasn’t that Li Xiuyuan was unwilling to reveal specific news about the Tianfeng Secret Realm.
He truly did not know, with nothing to share.
However, the individuals from the other two Great Sects were also potential competitors of the Zhenyang Sect and warranted close vigilance.
Therefore, the Zhenyang Sect had always focused on the Genius Cultivators from the two Great Sects, spending considerable effort to collect information about their adversaries.
Moreover, the other two Great Sects were likely doing the sa, collecting intelligence about their competitors and perhaps even sharing so of it.
After all, the enemy of one’s enemy could be a friend.
This way, the information about these competitors was not strictly confidential within the Zhenyang Sect.
So Li Xiuyuan was willing to share with Lin Tianming, offering him intel so that he might be more cautious in the Secret Realm.
Half an hour later, the two of them had exchanged plenty of information about the other two Great Sects.
Thanks to Li Xiuyuan’s detailed introduction, Lin Tianming gained a lot more basic information about the other forces.
Subsequently, Li Xiuyuan inquired about Lin Tianming’s plans in the Secret Realm.
In response, Lin Tianming said with a light smile, “Brother Li, I’m on my own, without any teammates, so naturally, I am a lone wolf. I’ll be satisfied to just find so treasures and get out alive!”
Hearing this, Li Xiuyuan nodded and said with resignation, “It’s a pity that our Sect doesn’t allow us to act alone; otherwise, I’d truly like to continue cooperating with Daoist Lin!”
“Haha… No worries at all… you folks acting with fellow Sect mbers is certainly much safer. Those of us without that option have no choice but to go alone!”
“Indeed, this is true!” Li Xiuyuan nodded in agreent.
With that, Lin Tianming didn’t press the issue, and after chatting a little longer, half an hour later, Li Xiuyuan took his leave.
