Chapter 318 A Deal
Facing Li Qi's question, Long Xingyun took a deep breath and then asked:
"Alliance Master Li, I came here today to ask you a question. Do you need the spiritual energy stone from my Dragon Martial Pavilion?"
Long Xingyun's question made Li Qi couldn't help but stare deeply at the young leader of Longwu Pavilion.
Li Qi really needs the spirit stone.
Whether it is the Adam series of dolls or the Eve that is currently being produced and is extremely close to the various forms and physical characteristics of humans, they all require the assistance of spiritual stones to be perfectly manufactured.
Li Qi has already used most of the spiritual stones that Longwu Pavilion had sent to him.
If Li Qi wants to create more puppets to protect the Li family, he will need more spirit stones.
Li Qi would never have too much of this kind of stuff.
But now it is impossible for Li Qi to tell others what he wants so directly.
So after thinking for a while, Li Qi replied: "I do need it, but that was a matter in the past. Why did Pavilion Master Long think of asking about this?"
"I heard... Li Xuan mentioned that the core of the Yanjia made by you, Alliance Master Li, is the spiritual stone of my Longwu Pavilion. Li Xuan also tried to imitate the Yanjia you made, but he didn't know where he went wrong. He couldn't make a creation like the Yanjia you wear..."
"So you came here today to use the spirit stone as a bargaining chip in exchange for my Yanjia-making technology?"
Li Qi narrowed his eyes, revealing a hint of danger.
He had a pretty good impression of Li Xuan from Longwu Pavilion. This "partial student" in the martial arts world who didn't want to learn martial arts and only wanted to make Yanjia would most likely become a master in this field in the future.
But having said that, Li Qi and he were just casual acquaintances, not even friends.
If Long Xingyun thought that with what Li Xuan knew and his relationship with Li Qi, which was not even friends, he could exchange the spiritual stone for Li Qi's method of making Yanjia, then he was wrong.
Li Qi would not tell anyone the method of making the Yanjia. Besides, even if he told others, no one else would be able to truly imitate the Adam series Yanjia.
Because others cannot master the most crucial technology.
Alchemy from the magical world.
This is something that other people cannot learn, nor do they have the conditions to learn it, so it is useless even if they learn it.
Therefore, no one in this world except Li Qi can master the technology to make Yanjia that can rival that of a martial saint.
Even if Li Qi taught the relevant techniques to Long Xingyun and others, they would not be able to learn it.
Perhaps sensing the sense of danger coming from Li Qi, Long Xingyun quickly explained:
"No, no, no, we in Longwu Pavilion definitely don't have such intentions. We just want to use the spiritual energy stones as a reward in exchange for the leader's protection of our Longwu Pavilion!"
Oh, it turns out he just wanted to seek protection.
Li Qi suddenly realized.
Don't think that the Righteous Alliance seems to have a "front man" like Li Qi, as if it can compete with the Evil Alliance.
But in fact, Li Qi is currently unable to leave Zhongzhou.
Because he needed the suppression of Emperor Qi's dragon vein to be slightly stronger than Liu Xuan.
Once Li Qi leaves Zhongzhou, Liu Xuan will probably come and kill him immediately! Even if Liu Xuan can't kill Li Qi, he will try every means to severely injure Li Qi.
Therefore, Li Qi can only stay in Zhongzhou now. Within Zhongzhou, the righteous path can still maintain its power.
But if we leave the Zhongzhou area, the Demonic Path will dominate alone! The Longwu Pavilion's sect is located outside Zhongzhou, so its base has long been occupied by the Demonic Path. The remaining disciples of the Longwu Pavilion, led by the new Pavilion Master Long Xingyun, have now retreated to the Zhongzhou area.
Naturally, Longwu Pavilion was unwilling to accept this.
How could Longwu Pavilion swallow this breath of humiliation when they abandoned their original residence and fled to Zhongzhou like a stray dog? But the problem now was that even if they couldn't swallow this breath of humiliation, they could do nothing about it.
The most important thing now is to protect the true disciples of Longwu Pavilion and those disciples with potential, to prevent them from being found and killed one by one by the evil sect.
For this reason, Long Xingyun found Li Qi.
He wanted to use the spiritual stone as a bargaining chip in exchange for Li Qi's protection.
"Only the spirit stone is not enough for me."
After thinking carefully for a while, Li Qi said to Long Xingyun.
It's not that Li Qi is greedy and wants to ask Long Xingyun for more things, but because even if Li Qi does not protect Longwu Pavilion, when Li Qi becomes a Martial Saint and recaptures Longwu Pavilion's headquarters, he can also obtain ownership of the spiritual energy stone.
Using something that Li Qi could easily obtain to make a deal is no different from getting something for nothing.
Li Qi's relationship with Longwu Pavilion is not that good. If Long Xingyun really wants Li Qi to take action, he will need to pay more.
Hearing what Li Qi said, Long Xingyun was not surprised at all.
He was also a self-aware man, knowing that it was simply a pipe dream to expect a strong man comparable to a Martial Saint to protect them with just these.
So Long Xingyun took out the other things he had prepared.
"I know that these alone are not enough, so... I brought the Heavenly Craftsmanship Secret Book from our Longwu Pavilion."
As Long Xingyun spoke, he took out an ancient book from his arms.
Li Qi raised his head with interest: "Oh? Heavenly Secret Book?"
"Yes, it is a secret manual about large-scale Yanjia and imaginary large-scale warships. However, it was sealed by our predecessors in Longwu Pavilion because many parts of it were too fantastic.
"But... since you are the leader who can create a Yanjia comparable to the Grandmaster level, you should be able to make the things above."
Long Xingyun handed the ancient book to Li Qi.
Li Qi took the ancient book, but before he could read it, he heard Long Xingyun continue to say to Li Qi:
"Also, if my Longwu Pavilion can return to the Six Sects in the future, if the Li family needs help from my Longwu Pavilion in the future, Longwu Pavilion will do its best to help the Li family. This promise is permanent and valid until my Longwu Pavilion is completely destroyed."
Long Xingyun made a new promise.
The value of this promise is much greater than the first two conditions.
Apart from anything else, Li Qi could not guarantee whether the Li family would be able to produce another first-class martial saint after his death.
After all, the Li family is just a family and cannot be compared with those famous sects with abundant resources.
No matter how destitute Longwu Pavilion is now, their foundation is still there, the core of the sect is still there, so there is a possibility of a comeback in the future.
If Longwu Pavilion returns to its peak in the future, and the Li family gradually declines, or even only has a few small members left, then no matter who it is, they can seek help from Longwu Pavilion.
And it is unconditional help.
Although judging from the current situation, Longwu Pavilion’s promise is the most empty one.
But now that he is about to turn 20, Li Qi feels that this is the most practical one.
After all, Long Xingyun swore an oath by the Way of Heaven. In this world where the effect of oaths does exist, all disciples of Longwu Pavilion will not be able to break this oath in the future.
After Long Xingyun finished speaking these words seriously, he waited anxiously for Li Qi's reply.
Li Qi tapped the table with his fingers, thought for a long time, and said to Long Xingyun:
"How many disciples are left in your Longwu Pavilion?"
Hearing Li Qi's question, Long Xingyun's eyes lit up instantly. He knew that this meant that Li Qi agreed to protect their Longwu Pavilion, and he quickly replied: "We still have three elders in the Grandmaster Realm, including me, as well as 34 ordinary deacons and elders, some genius disciples, and less than 100 acquired disciples..."
"No more second-grade items?"
"The second-rank warrior who just broke through in my Longwu Pavilion has died in order to cover our evacuation."
Long Xingyun sighed softly.
The reason why Long Lie, the supreme elder of Longwu Pavilion, dared to follow the righteous path to go overseas to deal with the evil path was because Longwu Pavilion had successors, someone who successfully broke through to the second level and became another pillar of Longwu Pavilion.
If Liu Xuan had not broken through to become a Martial Saint, Longwu Pavilion would have entered a period of rapid development in the future, and it would not be impossible for it to become the strongest sect second only to Shushan Dao.
But unfortunately, Liu Xuan, who became the Martial Saint, made all of this a dream.
"so……"
Li Qi continued to think.
Long Xingyun didn't dare to disturb him and waited on the side.
Although Li Qi is much younger than him, age is not important in the underworld; strength is what matters.
Now that Li Qi possesses strength comparable to that of a Martial Saint, no matter how old Long Xingyun is, he must remain respectful beside him.
This is an established rule in the underworld.
After thinking for an unknown amount of time, Li Qi suddenly said:
"How many spiritual stones did you bring out?"
“…We left in a hurry, so we didn’t take much with us. We only had two boxes, both of which were small.”
"So, the remaining spiritual energy stones are all in the Longwu Pavilion?"
Li Qi raised an eyebrow and asked.
Long Xingyun looked a little embarrassed when he heard this: "That's true... but... but we will find a way to get more spiritual stones, please help me..."
Without waiting for Long Xingyun to finish, Li Qi said to him: "No need to say these things. Since most of the spiritual stones are in Longwu Pavilion, it seems that I have to go to Longwu Pavilion in person. The demons are so rampant that they dare to occupy my things. Even if that old guy Liu Xuan comes in person, I am still right."
Li Qi said confidently.
The corner of Long Xingyun's mouth twitched slightly. He didn't know whether he should complain about Li Qi's address to Liu Xuan, or complain about Li Qi's hypocritical look of righteousness at the moment.
After being stunned for a moment, Long Xingyun said worriedly:
"Alliance leader, are you going to Longwu Pavilion in person? Longwu Pavilion is currently occupied by the Blood Demon Sect. In the Blood Demon Sect, there is an old master at the peak of the second rank..."
"It's okay. I've said it before. Even if Liu Xuan comes in person, it won't matter. I have more tricks than just Yanjia."
Li Qi said meaningfully.
Everyone said that Li Qi could not leave the capital or Zhongzhou. Once he left Zhongzhou, he would be blocked by Liu Xuan.
People also say that Li Qi's Yanjia has many negative effects, and there are side effects when it is activated... and so on.
But what the world doesn't know is that these are all messages that Li Qi intentionally spread.
In fact, Yanjia has no side effects on Li Qi at all, and as long as he has the help of the spiritual stone, he can make more Yanjia.
A set of Yan armor can’t defeat Liu Xuan?
It doesn't matter, then bring two sets, bring three sets! After the number of sets piled up, even Liu Xuan had to think carefully about whether he could handle so many Yanjia at the same time.
