Chapter 127 - 127: Trilateral Negotiations
Fang Lin didn’t immediately respond to Dugu Nian, but instead, he looked around the yard and found that it was practically back to its original state, except for some herbs that still looked a little wilted.
There was no helping it. Those herbs were all uprooted by Dugu Nian and although she replanted them, they had remained lifeless ever since.
Fang Lin walked over to the side of the wilted herbs, and after reaching out and touching them for a while, within the time it takes to make a cup of tea, the herbs that had previously been half-dead, were now teeming with life, there wasn’t a hint of wilting in sight.
This scene left Dugu Nian dumbstruck.
“How did you do that?” Dugu Nian quickly asked.
Fang Lin glanced at her and said, “Why do you ask so many questions? Does it concern you?”
Dugu Nian pouted her lips, her face showing a pleading expression, “Are you willing to teach me the Shaking Three Mountains now?”
Fang Lin stroked his chin for a while and suddenly laughed. “If I teach you the
Shaking Three Mountains, would you consider me as your master?”
Dugu Nian was taken aback, and then looked at Fang Lin with a complicated expression.
“If you teach me the Shaking Three Mountains, I’ll respect you as my master. How does that sound?” Dugu Nian said.
Upon hearing this, Fang Lin immediately burst into laughter.
“Since you want to recognize me as your master, then kneel down and pay respects now.” Fang Lin sat on a stone bench, calmly looking at Dugu Nian.
Dugu Nian was stupefied. She didn’t expect Fang Lin to be so frank, but having spoken her words, she couldn’t go back on them now.
Taking into account her quick wits, Dugu Nian thought for a moment and then said, “That doesn’t work, you haven’t taught me anything yet.”
Fang Lin rolled his eyes, no longer teasing Dugu Nian. He waved his hand and a Jade Slip landed in front of Dugu Nian.
“The practice of ‘Shaking Three Mountains’ and the necessary preachings are all inside there. Take a look yourself. If you don’t understand something, ask me.” Having said this, Fang Lin then casually headed back into his house.
Dugu Nian quickly picked up the Jade Slip. After checking it out, there was a
look of surprise and hesitation on her face.
“Why should I care? Let’s get to training first.” Dugu Nian said to herself. She held the Jade Slip in her hand and cheerfully went back into her own house.
After handling Dugu Nian, Fang Lin returned to his room, prepared to continue meditating.
He still had to absorb the Pill Furnace that he had just gotten his hands on, to see if he could break through to the Ninth Layer of Human Origin, or even breakthrough to the Earth Element realm.
However, breaking through a major boundary isn’t easy. In Fang Lin’s view, even if he was to absorb a Pill Furnace, the chances of a breakthrough would only be about fifty percent.
So, Fang Lin’s plan is to reach the peak of the Ninth Layer of Human Origin. Whether he can enter the Earth Element realm would be a matter of luck.
Once again, he crushed a Forbidden Jade Slip and took out the Pill Furnace that Gu Daofeng had rewarded him.
The Pill Cauldron was of ordinary shape, with no special characteristics at all.
But such a Pill Furnace was of paramount importance to Fang Lin. It was much superior compared to the damaged one that he had gotten from the Pill Pavillion last time.
Fang Lin prepared a lot of pills, all for breakthrough purposes. After getting everything ready, Fang Lin sat in a kneeling position and began practicing the Nine Cauldron Skypassing Spell.
Daqian Kingdom, has not been peaceful lately.
The alchemy competition between the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect and Pill Sect eventually got bigger and bigger, and even the Li Family got involved.
A large number of elite disciples and elders from the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect were imprisoned in the Pill Sect, and a prestigious elder from the Li Family received a heavy blow from Xing Tianxiao, the head of the Martial Sect.
It can be said that the Purple Mist Sect has thoroughly annoyed the Li family and the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect.
The Ten-thousand Medicine Sect was fine. After all, their strength was less than the Purple Mist Sect, and there were many disciples and elders detained in the Pill Sect, so while the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect was angry, they couldn’t take anv action against the PurDle Mist Sect.
The old man with the surname Gong was finally able to get his freedom by trading his Nine Treasure Luminous Cauldron. After returning to the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect, he first apologized to the Li Family, and then he got busy gathering resources to redeem those detained members from the Pill Sect.
It can be said that the one who had lost the most was the Ten -thousand Medicine Sect. They not only lost their face but also paid a lot. Their Sect treasure, the Nine Treasure Luminous Cauldron, was gone.
The Li family, although they didn’t suffer much in material losses, had an elder badly injured and his arm severed which was a great humiliation to a proud family like the Li’s.
Ten days later, the Li family, with its many experts, approached the Purple Mist Sect aggressively, demanding an explanation for their actions.
Although the Li family’s Head, Li Zhendong, did not personally come, his brother Li Yunhe, who is currently the second strongest in the Li family, did.
The Purple Mist Sect was not weak either. Sect Master Han Luoyun, who usually kept a low profile and did not appear much, showed up. He appeared in the Purple Mist Great Hall with Gu Daofeng, the head of the Pill Sect, and Xing Tianxiao, the head of the Martial Sect, and began negotiations with the Li’s.
These were negotiations between two major forces in Qian Country, and the negotiations did not go well because both sides were angry.
During the process, Li Yunhe banged the table and stood up several times, shouting that the Li Family would attack the Purple Mist Sect at full power. Han Luoyun responded with a light sentence, “Then come.”
These simple and effortless words subdued the arrogant Li family and silenced them.
It’s not that Li Yunhe didn’t recognize Han Luoyun. On the contrary, as one of the decisive figures in the Li Family, Li Yunhe was not at all unfamiliar with the Purple Mist Sect Master Han Luoyun.
One can say that Han Luoyun is someone who can’t be easily handled. Even with the Li’s powerful dominance, they cannot make Han Luoyun back down an inch.
Knowing that he can not handle Han Luoyun, Li Yunhe had to suppress his anger and conduct sincere negotiations.
As for the result of the negotiations, in the end, Li Yunhe and the Li family left with unresolved anger. Although both parties were poised for battle and almost got into a fight, they eventually restrained themselves.
The day after the negotiations ended, the Li Family sent a message. If the arm of Tianxiao was not delivered within three days, the Li Family’s Head would personally make a move.
Now, the whole Qian Country was in an uproar, all factions paid close attention to the two major forces – the Li Family and the Purple Mist Sect.
If these two powers were to fight, the whole Qian Country would be turned upside down, it might even turn into a melee between all the great forces.
Despite the attitude of the Li Family, Han Luoyun still chose not to back down.
On that day, Han Luoyun came alone to the sky above the Li Family wielding his sword, and swung it towards the Li Family.
This swing of the sword was Han Luoyun’s attitude!
If you want to fight, I’ll accompany you!
The Li Family’s Head held off Han Luoyun’s strike, but the entire Li Family was frightened like a bird startled by the twang of a bow.
At the same time, there was also a sound from the imperial family of Daqian Kingdom. It seemed that the Emperor of Daqian wanted to mediate the conflict between the two.
Now, not only were the Li Family and the Purple Mist Sect involved, even the imperial family of Daqian Kingdom was dragged into it, the matter was escalating.
In the face of the Emperor of Daqian’s politeness, Han Luoyun and Li Zhendong finally sat at the same table together with the Emperor of Daqian, negotiated for three davs and nights. and during that time. extremelv terrifying Inner Strength fluctuations emanated from the chamber where they were discussing, but soon quieted down..
