Chapter 178: Negotiations

After ht, Su Chen prepared to leave Sky City Of course, before doing so, he decided to first make a stop at the country’s iht had allowed him to reap some personal benefits, it would have been impolite of him to refuse

Su Chen didn’t place much importance on common resources, but the temptation of secret techniques, exclusive records passed down only to other Harpies, and soredients did pique Su Chen’s interests

Unfortunately, the old coot was quite slippery, and none of the really good treasures were kept in the imperial storehouses The Thousand Poisons Toad had left behind all kinds of precious treasures in the wake of its death, but none of them could be found in the storehouses In the end, Su Chen only took an Imperial Feather Stone and a chunk of Darkness Prison Metal out with him

The former had been left behind by the country’s founder, Withered Edge Even though he was not the best ruler due to his lack of political finesse and his selfish personality, he was still strong enough to be considered a genius aendary Arcana Master, and apparently, he had achieved a deep comprehension of Method Power

This Ie during one of his sessions of enlightenment His comprehension of Method Poas all ih affinity with it could experience a sihtenment for themselves

But up until now, no one had been qualified to catch even a glie’s comprehensions of Method Power

On the other hand, the Darkness Prison Metal was naturally an iredient for the construction of titan-class puppets Even though it was possible to construct theth would probably be inferior to those with it

Su Chen took these two iteht before preparing to return to human territory

Most of the commotion that he had stirred up had been quelled by no, it was time for him to think of a way to stop this battle

As the earth turned, the tides of good fortune would shi+ft unpredictably Even Su Chen hadn’t anticipated that the situation would swing so dramatically

Twelve days later, Su Chen arrived at the capital

Zhu Chenhuan was already waiting for him there

“I already knohat happened,” Zhu Chenhuan said preemptively “Are you sure that you want to do this?”

Zhu Chenhuan’s expression was relatively ugly After all, he was the one who had come up with this idea in the first place, but now, he needed to extinguish it Even though he was doing all this to save Zhu Xianyao, these actions still left a bitter taste in his mouth

Su Chen wasn’t too perturbed by it “There’s nothing we can do about it Eternal Night’s tactics exceeded my expectations He won this round Noto watch her die”

“This excuse is not going to move the leaders of the three countries This is an incredibly important moment in history, a moment that will not take the affection between two juniors into account”

Su Chen chuckled “I wasn’t planning on convincing them ords anyways These kinds of people will never be moved by words alone”

Within Wind Screen Palace

Li Wuyi glanced at Su Chen, as appropriately standing on the steps below

“So the hu enius!”

As he spoke, his pupils contracted slightly “Spirit Burning You’re actually at the Spirit Burning Realm already? Have you already reached this step of your journey?”

“Yes!” Su Chen ress and nodded “Would Your Majesty like the technique?”

“You’re willing to give it to me?”

“I didn’t research it to keep it a secret fro”

“What’s the price?”

“You already know, Your Majesty”

Li Wuyi chuckled “How interesting Su Chen, what do you take the country’s political affairs as? What do you think a war is? Do you really think that you can start and end one whenever you want?”

Su Chen shook his head “I’ve never treated war as a joke, and I never once thought that I could direct a country byto pay such a price to accoh price, unless you are also willing to agree to not distribute this cultivation method to anyone other than us!” Li Wuyi said directly

Even though a bloodline-less Spirit Burning Realm cultivation technique was undoubtedly precious, Su Chen’s distributing it freely would cause its value to sharply decline

If Su Chen agreed to only give Li Wuyi the cultivation technique, then it orth it for Li Wuyi to stop the war However, that depended entirely on Su Chen’s stance

Even though he had bowed his head to Eternal Night because of Zhu Xianyao, that didn’t oal The bloodline-less cultivation techniques were still his primary focus, and he would not allow one clan to monopolize them under any circumstance This meant that, as a principle, nobody would be able to profit off of it

However, adapting to the situation was still acceptable

Su Chen said, “I a to let Liaoye Country exclusively own it for ten years”

“Absolutely not!” Li Wuyi iestion “The ienerations to come, but you want to placate us with just ten years? What a joke”

Su Chen sighed “Your Majesty, then you should also clearly understand that this request is a selfish one if you acknowledge that this cultivation technique will have lasting effects for generations to co me to stop the battle for a selfish reason as well?”

“Yes, Your Majesty That is correct But don’t forget that I was the one who created an opportunity for Liaoye Country to mobilize their troops in the first place”

“So you should treasure this opportunity more”

Su Chen cracked a sant from time to tiotiations had reached this point, it was quite obvious what both parties were interested in
