Chapter 1921 Gambling Fight
Before Li Jingtian came, he heard that Hongyeling purchased the secret books at a very low price and had a unique valuation method.
The Lingyin Li family also recognized the corresponding value of Li Yuqing and the three foundation-building clan members.
Obviously, if both parties want to reach a deal, they must first reach a consensus on valuation.
Of course, as the situation has progressed to this point, the tone has been set and both sides are willing to resolve the problem.
As for the specific details of the operation, that is the job of the people below.
Li Jingtian was not responsible for the specific negotiations, firstly because his status was not appropriate, and secondly because this was not something he was good at.
But he still paid attention to the spirit stones and transaction conditions that Hongyeling paid when it purchased various secret books in the past.
Hongyeling took out a few secret books as samples, quoted an estimated value, listed the sources, and welcomed the other party to investigate.
Although Li Jingtian was not good at this business, he had some understanding of the approximate price.
He heard the prices of several secret manuals and was surprised by the valuations. "Do you really think I'm stupid to buy them at this price?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Xuemin quickly stated that there were two books here that were traded in Yan's market, and he could serve as a witness.
But why would Li Jingtian care about his testimony?
He stated straightforwardly that the estimated value of these secret books was so low and he wanted to know the reason.
The paranoid man thought that this request was not excessive, so he called Wu Laoliu.
As soon as Wu Laoliu arrived, Li Jingtian glanced over and said, "Is this... Wu Minxi, who is wanted by Baiyao Valley?"
Wu Laoliu did not dare to answer. The other party was a true immortal. No matter whether he answered yes or no, he would inevitably get into trouble.
"What do you want to say?" The paranoid boss asked rudely, "This is my Golden Core servant from Hongye Ridge."
"What happened in Baiyao Valley before has nothing to do with us, and we are not interested in the reward."
"Okay," Li Jingtian also felt the other party's style of doing things and really couldn't care less about it.
"I've often heard that Wu Minxi is very good at appraisals. I'd like to hear more about it."
Wu Laoliu immediately began to explain, and his words were meaningful and logical.
Li Jingtian said that he was willing to hear the details, and indeed he just wanted to listen and had no intention of expressing his opinion.
He did not think that the casual cultivator Jindan was qualified to debate with him.
But as he listened, he couldn't help it anymore, so he began to question out loud.
The argument quickly became heated, and unfortunately, he was unable to convince the other party.
Many of Wu Laoliu's views are not only novel but also meaningful, and there are always corresponding theories or examples to support them.
Regardless of whether he is right or wrong, he has his own arguments and can form a logical loop.
Li Jingtian argued for a while and was surprised to find that he could not win the argument!
This matter is a bit evil, but as I said, don't use your hobby to challenge other people's professional qualities.
Moreover, for Li Jingtian, this aspect cannot be considered as a hobby, he can only be considered to have a little knowledge of it.
Soon, he realized his own shortcomings, and what was worse was that there were other Nascent Souls watching!
If he continued to argue, he would only be evaluated as "making a fuss".
After all, he was a True Immortal in the Nascent Soul stage, and he really couldn't afford to lose face in front of this person, so he stopped arguing on his own initiative.
Then he glanced at the paranoid and nodded slightly, "No wonder!"
"You're already a big Nascent Soul, isn't that embarrassing?" The paranoid brows slightly frowned, "Don't speak half of what you say, what's the big deal?"
"Do I need to explain this clearly?" Li Jingtian retorted, "No wonder Hongye Ridge can ignore the bounty offered by Baiyao Valley."
"The Nascent Soul of the dignified Lingyin Li family is only as good as this," the paranoid sneered disdainfully and said nothing more.
His reaction made Li Jingtian feel like he had punched the air - why don't you talk back?
A paranoid person really has no interest in arguing with the other party - toad at the bottom of the well, how big is the sky you have seen?
The more he defended himself, the more he fulfilled the other party's wish, so it would be better for him to say nothing.
They just want to use the name of Baiyao Valley to suppress their own side.
But Hongyeling has made up its mind that if necessary, it will fight against Baiyao Valley head-on.
That’s right, if you want to fully integrate into this world, blindly giving in and retreating won’t work, it will only make people think you are easy to bully.
The boss once said, "Peace survives when it is sought through struggle; peace dies when it is sought through compromise."
The boss also said that since Dongsheng Continent attaches great importance to the life and death of Nascent Soul, Baiyao Valley may not be able to risk its life against Hongye Ridge.
Even if the Seven Star Sect is added, so what? Can the two sects really fight to the death against Hongye Ridge?
However, Li Jingtian did not argue with him anymore, but stayed there quietly.
It took almost two hours for the two Jindan Zhenren who had been here before to sort out the general idea of Hongyeling's acquisition of the secret book.
Next, the visitor left Hongyeling and went to Yan's house.
However, the two true immortals did not stay at the Yan family, but each released their own exquisite presence.
The next day, more people from the Lingyin Li family came. This time there were six people, and among them there was actually a high-level Qi Refining cultivator.
The next person who continued to communicate with Wu Laoliu was a Jindan Zhenren, who also had profound attainments in identification.
The negotiation process was very difficult.
There was no way. Hongyeling was too powerful. They insisted that Li Yuqing was plotting to seize the fourth-level spiritual vein, which was extremely evil.
At this point, they really stopped pretending and honestly admitted that they had a fourth-level spiritual vein - although it felt like it was still a little bit off.
The Lingyin Li family wanted to conduct an on-site investigation to verify whether it was true, but Hua Xiezi rejected them without hesitation, "You are dreaming!"
In view of this, Hongyeling’s bottom line is at least three sets of Nascent Soul exercises and several other secret books.
Even Li Yuren couldn't help but be shocked when he heard it. "Who said it was an attempted crime? This is clearly the price of a completed crime."
But Hongyeling insisted that this was not an exorbitant demand - after all, they had already confronted the Immortal Ke Liang.
If the team hadn't handled the situation properly, the fight with Ke Liang would have been fierce.
The Li family wanted to ask how Hongye Ling and Immortal Ke Liang finally resolved the issue, but Hua Xiezi simply said: Go ask him!
However, how could the Li family dare to ask Ke Liang?
As a true immortal, Ke Liang was secretly misled by someone. It was already a favor for him not to cause trouble for the Li family.
If the Li family really came to ask, it would be a naked provocation.
Ke Liang is indeed a casual cultivator, however, does he really think that the title of one of the six casual cultivators is just for show?
When encountering small matters, the independent cultivators may not be able to unite, but if the twelve major forces bully others by taking advantage of their power, the others will never agree.
From beginning to end, Flower Scorpion refused to give in until Li Yuren stepped in to mediate.
The verbal sparring lasted for nearly ten days, and finally the Lingyin Li family agreed and took out a Nascent Soul technique.
If there is a lack of Nascent Soul techniques, then it can only be made up with a large number of other secret books.
The transaction details were almost finalized, but Li Jingtian put forward new requirements.
He hopes that Hongyeling can have an exchange of ideas with the Li family: if we do something wrong, we will admit our mistakes, and the Li family can afford the compensation.
But, do you have the ability to get it?
After all, the world of cultivating immortals is also a place where the strong prey on the weak - if a huge pie falls down on you, can you catch it?
Li Jingtian did not make the request out of thin air; he put forward new conditions.
He said that he could offer a Nascent Soul technique as a bet, and if Hongyeling lost, the other secrets would be waived.
The stakes of both parties were a bit unequal, with the Li family's chips clearly being larger, but who could blame him for proposing the conditions?
Even if Hongyeling lost, it could still keep a Nascent Soul technique in this transaction.
The most important compensation is still there, which also shows the sincerity of the Li family - you will not get nothing.
This condition seems friendly, but in fact it is not. The Li family is using it to force Hongyeling to surrender.
Aren't you interested in the Nascent Soul Technique? We'll give you an extra copy, and it depends on whether you dare to take it.
If Hongyeling remains unmoved and must refuse, the Li family can save some face.
Even if the Li family loses, it doesn’t matter - it’s not that we are willing to give in. We haven’t defeated the other party in a fight, so we are willing to admit defeat.
Li Jingtian's condition should have been premeditated, and it was very appropriate to choose to make it known at this time.
No family with a long history is simple.
It is impossible for Hongyeling to refuse this kind of challenge. If they don't dare to take on such an obviously unequal bet, doesn't that mean they are afraid?
Qu Jianlei made a very straightforward decision, "Of course I'll take it, to avoid them spreading the word that Hongyeling is just bullying the weak."
When the team captured Li Yuqing, it was Yuanying who took action. Both sides were well aware of this - they did not want to alarm Qingyang Market.
But if we don’t accept the bet, who knows how the Lingyin Li family will publicize it.
These families, which have been passed down for tens of thousands of years, have used countless dirty tricks, and the rumors of the big bullying the weak are probably not the most vicious.
For the sake of future development, Hongyeling also wants to work hard to maintain a positive image.
So it’s not that they are warlike, they just have to accept the challenge.
What’s interesting is that the people the Li family suggested gambling on were not high-end fighters, and Li Jingtian didn’t intend to take part in the fight himself.
They hope that the foundation-building cultivators can fight five games and win three out of five.
Moreover, the Li family does not recommend a life-and-death fight - if Hongyeling insists, the Li family can also accompany him.
The shame of Jindan being captured can be washed away by the lives of several foundation-building cultivators, which is considered worthwhile.
However, Flower Scorpion directly refused: We don’t have so many low-level cultivators.
It's not that there is no fight, but there really is no A-level in the team now, and there are only three siblings, Tianyin and Kolos.
Even if we add the teammates left behind in the distant empire, there is only one more Xiao Qin.
This answer made Li family's Jindan speechless: So all the people in Hongye Ridge are high-level cultivators?
What kind of organization is this?
People from the Lingyin Li family really felt like their world views had been shattered.
Not to mention family inheritance, any force that wants to grow and become stronger should also focus on cultivating fresh blood, right?
As a result, the Li family also came up with some other speculations.
But these are not the point. The point is that the only option is to have a fight with the Jindan Zhenren.
