Zhou Xuan had no intention of freeloading. As the leader, gaining secrets from mbers during a first eting would only result in losing their trust.
When trust is lost, it’s hard to lead the team.
He said, "You are people of the clan, and inheritors of the Life Temple Blood Sacrifice. Let ask you, does such a Forbidden Land Tattoo like that of the White Bone Longevity Mountain help in your cultivation?"
The tattoo of White Bone Longevity Mountain represents the Heavenly Do God-level "Eternal Life Sect Leader" behind the Shaman,
This kind of Forbidden Land Tattoo, if buried in an ordinary family, could bring calamity, but for the clan people, they aren’t ordinary folks.
Upon hearing "White Bone Longevity Mountain," Jiji Cao imdiately sighed, lanting his lost chance to access the secrets of the "Nine Snakes God."
"If it’s the White Bone Longevity Mountain, then it’s a trendous benefit for our clan, thank you, High Priest, thank you, High Priest."
"Zhimajiang, how confident are you in seeking out the Nine Snakes God all by yourself?"
"Sixty percent chance of success, thirty percent chance of failure, but I can retreat safely, with a ten percent chance that it could possibly..."
"What if I assign soone to assist you?"
Zhou Xuan pointed at Jiji Cao and said, "He is confident in tracking the Nine Snakes God. In that case, why not temporarily put aside the feud between clans, and work together? Afterward, you can both study the White Bone Longevity Mountain."
"I’m in agreent."
Jiji Cao imdiately stated his position.
After all, it’s the White Bone Longevity Mountain... a rare Forbidden Land, with bones piled high, thunderous power, and death lingering everywhere, making it perfect for the study and practice of their tainted clan.
Earlier, Jiji Cao had missed the chance to see White Bone Longevity Mountain, and was feeling downhearted, but now that the opportunity has arisen again, how could he not seize it?
Zhimajiang’s stance was sowhat vague, from the depths of her heart, she also hoped for Jiji Cao’s assistance.
This would increase the success rate of "seeking secrets" and after gaining the White Bone Longevity Mountain, one person could study while the other acts as a protector, drastically reducing the chances of going mad or rabid due to the Forbidden Land’s effects. If all else fails, the protector can sever the link between the one studying and the Forbidden Land to save their life.
But... the feuds between Shi Family Village and Liuyun Village run deep, just how deep?
Should people from the two clans et, they would engage in a fight to the death until one clan was completely eradicated.
In such a death match, nobody would spare a woman or child, all living beings must be killed rcilessly.
"To find soone like him for help, if things go wrong, how can I face my clan?"
Zhimajiang said.
"Should things go wrong, you could bla , calling a foe invading Liuyun Village, would I not reveal you then?"
Jiji Cao said.
"Even if you don’t betray , and we succeed, afterward we study the ’White Bone Longevity Mountain’ together, how can you promise not to stab in the back?"
"In the past, I might have, but now? Liuyun Village, Shi Family Village, we are all Heavenly Venerate’s people,
Heavenly Venerate Disciples do not kill Heavenly Venerate Disciples."
Jiji Cao’s thought process shifted rapidly.
Yet his action made Zhou Xuan think of another possibility—Jiji Cao might have a unique understanding of the "White Bone Longevity Mountain."
This understanding made Jiji Cao value the tattoo imnsely.
He put his life on the line, set aside family feuds, determined to join the "Nine Snakes God’s" secret exploration, which was completely unlike the usual "cowardly and fearful" style of the Blood Well Spirit Communicator.
"It seems the price I offered for this operation was a bit too high."
Zhou Xuan thought to himself.
However, the high price actually didn’t matter. It’s akin to "spending a thousand gold pieces to buy a horse’s bones."
Moreover, these so-called thousand gold pieces were insignificant to Zhou Xuan, as he had at least a dozen tattoos more formidable than the White Bone Longevity Mountain.
The Tattoo Hall has already started to reveal benefits to Zhou Xuan.
Every Divine Tattoo Map possessed imnse value, even for bartering, bringing significant advantages to Zhou Xuan,
Let alone the Mountain and River Map capable of lowering the nine divisions of Jing Country.
This map’s existence nullified the chances of Zhou Xuan being killed across borders.
"Zhimajiang, Jiji Cao is showing great sincerity, what is your stance? Please express it."
Zhou Xuan urged Zhimajiang.
After contemplating for a while, Zhimajiang asked, "High Priest, from seeking secrets to comprehending the ’White Bone Longevity Mountain,’ how can you ensure Jiji Cao won’t make a move against ?"
Zhou Xuan pointed to the ground and said, "Your souls are projected within the Blood Well Venerable’s Fei Yue, if there’s any rift between you, the Blood Well Venerable will see it... if Jiji Cao attacks you, or vice versa, the Heavenly Venerate will bring down divine punishnt."
"Then I’m reassured, I can temporarily put aside the family feud and allow Jiji Cao to join in the mission."
"Zhimajiang, I know who you are. Today, I will contact you, and we’ll discuss the details of the operation privately."
After Jiji Cao finished speaking, Zhimajiang agreed.
At that mont, everyone had nearly absorbed their Buddha energy. So curious individuals, who were unaware of the "White Bone Longevity Mountain’s" value, were discussing fervently.
By now, Jiji Cao had already ford an alliance with Zhimajiang and had spare ti explaining to the crowd, "Fellow mbers, if there’s a treasure that could raise five sticks of incense to six, with a chance to push to seven, what would you be willing to trade for this treasure?"
