After leaving Chu Zhenxiong hanging for half an hour, Han Li spoke leisurely, “Chu Daoist, since you have made this request, have you considered what price you are willing to pay?”

Chu Dingqian immediately replied, “Of course I have considered it. Please, Han Daoist, just state your terms.”

Han Li nodded slightly and continued, “First of all, by coming forward and standing with the Da Qian Empire, I will become an enemy of the Yinyang Sect, the Kurong Sect, Fengbo Pavilion, and the Da Jing Empire, which will bring me great risk. What do you think, Chu Daoist?”

Chu Dingqian gave a bitter smile and inwardly sighed. This Li Feiyu was indeed cunning and shrewd, having been stringing him along earlier.

He wants to elaborate on how difficult and dangerous his request is, continually lowering his psychological baseline, to obtain more benefits for Li Feiyu.

Although Chu Dingqian understood this, he had no choice since he was the one asking for help; there was no room for bargaining, and he had to bear the overt scheme.

Chu Dingqian nodded and said, “What Han Daoist said is extremely true.”

A hint of satisfaction flashed in Han Li’s eyes. This Chu Zhenxiong was indeed sensible, not nitpicking or dragging his feet, rather clear cut. It seemed he was in dire need of his help.

“Secondly, in two years’ time, the Sacred Dragon Secret Realm will emerge. The True Martial Realm practitioners from the Yinyang Sect, Kurong Sect, and other four major forces will break free from their bindings. By then, if they choose to continue targeting the Da Qian Empire, I alone will not be able to hold them back. My life will be in great danger,” Han Li continued.

Chu Dingqian opened his mouth, wanting to say that it was unlikely for those four major forces to act after the True Martial Realm practitioners were freed since the Da Qian Empire only had territories of six states, plus there were two Emperor Wus in the True Martial Realm.

However, Chu Dingqian ultimately did not speak these words. Knowing that Li Feiyu was intentionally exaggerating the dangers, he went along with his words and said, “What Han Daoist said is extremely true.”

“Your lifespan isn’t much longer, Chu Daoist, can you live another fifty years? Once you ascend to the heavens, it will be up to me to support the Da Qian Empire. The external pressure is immense. Although I would like to withstand it, a single person can hardly prop up the sky, and the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak,” Han Li said.

This time, Chu Dingqian did not hesitate and directly replied, “What Han Daoist said is extremely true.”

“Lastly, five hundred years is too long; no one can say what changes may occur. If True Martial Realm Emperor Wus continually set their sights on the Da Qian Empire, I will have to engage them in battle, repelling each attempt. The risk inherent, you must be well aware of,” Han Li said.

Chu Dingqian feigned hesitation, exhaled a deep breath, and then slowly said, “If Han Daoist feels five hundred years is too long, four hundred years is not out of the question.”

Chu Dingqian knew that five hundred years was impossible since, after living through three lifetimes, he would be able to ascend to the True Martial Realm in about three hundred years. Having Li Feiyu holding the fort for four hundred years would be sufficient for his growth.

“So, Han Daoist, you can state your conditions now, right?”

Chu Dingqian knew he was at a disadvantage, but he resignedly accepted it. All could be discussed after cultivating to the True Martial Realm in three hundred years.

At that time, he could take back everything he had lost from Li Feiyu.

The atmosphere having built to this point, Han Li no longer delayed intentionally and finally stated his conditions, “I have six conditions. If Chu Daoist can meet them, I will guard the Da Qian Empire for four hundred years.”

“Huh~”

A twitch surfaced on Chu Dingqian’s lips when he heard six conditions, knowing that each one would be extortionate. After exhaling a long breath, Chu Dingqian said:

“Please, Han Daoist, speak.”

Immediately, Han Li listed the six conditions he had thought up, “First, Da Qian must pay me ten thousand Supreme Grade Spirit Stones.”

Theoretically, one Supreme Grade Spirit Stone is equivalent to a hundred Top Grade Spirit Stones, but it is very difficult to exchange a hundred Top Grade Spirit Stones for one Supreme Grade one, and a premium price is necessary.

Supreme Grade Spirit Stones contain a hundred times more Spiritual Energy than Top Grade Spirit Stones, and are also more pure and easier to absorb and refine, essential for high-level cultivators.

Although Han Li did not need them for his own use, his wife Jiang Baiye, Yun Miaoyi, Gongsun Yue, and others could all use them. As for his concubines, they should first cultivate to the Gang Yuan Realm.

Before Han Li could continue, Chu Dingqian’s face twitched as he said with a bitter smile, “Han Daoist may not be aware, but Da Qian does not have so many Supreme Grade Spirit Stones.”

Han Li’s eyebrows raised slightly.

Chu Dingqian immediately explained, “Top-grade Spirit Stones are generally produced in top-grade Spirit Stone Mines. There are also a small amount of top-grade Spirit Stones found at the core of top-quality Spirit Stone Mines. However, Daqian does not have any top-grade Spirit Stone Mines, only some top-quality ones.”

“In the past three thousand years, aside from the top-grade Spirit Stones that have been used, Daqian has stored only about a thousand top-grade Spirit Stones.”

After some thought, Han Li said, “Then one thousand top-grade Spirit Stones, plus nine hundred and fifty thousand top-quality Spirit Stones.”

“Agreed.” Chu Dingqian immediately consented.

Although this meant paying an extra fifty thousand top-quality Spirit Stones, Chu Dingqian did not want to prolong the negotiation. The Daqian Empire still had three to four million top-quality Spirit Stones, so it could afford the extra fifty thousand.

“The second condition: two Heaven Rank high-grade cultivation techniques and martial skills, four Heaven Rank mid- to lower-grade cultivation techniques and martial skills, half each; thirty Earth Level cultivation martial skills.”

When Han Li stated the second condition, he voluntarily lowered his demands. He didn’t want to haggle too much with Chu Zhenxiong. After all, once Chu Zhenxiong died, everything in the Daqian would be under his control, and he could take whatever he wanted.

Seeing that Chu Zhenxiong remained silent, Han Li continued to propose terms, “The third condition: ten bottles of Third-Grade Spiritual Pills, fifty bottles of Fourth-Grade Spiritual Pills, and two hundred bottles of Fifth-Grade Spiritual Pills.”

Chu Dingqian’s eyelids twitched, yet he stayed silent.

“The fourth condition: one Heaven Rank high-grade Divine Sword, three Heaven Rank mid-grade Magical Treasures, five Heaven Rank lower-grade Magical Treasures, twenty each of Supreme Grade and Top Grade Earth Rank Magical Treasures.”

“Fellow Daoist Li, isn’t this too much?” Chu Dingqian couldn’t help but speak up.

If they really agreed to Li Feiyu’s condition, Daqian’s collection of Heaven Rank Artifacts would be depleted by more than half, and their Earth Rank Artifacts would be reduced by half as well.

“Not at all, this is what I’m trading my life and four hundred years for,” Han Li said indifferently.

Chu Dingqian sighed bitterly and had no choice but to say, “Please continue, Fellow Daoist Li.”

“This fifth condition will not be difficult for you, Chu. Due to my cultivation technique, I will need to marry some female cultivators in time, and I hope you will not interfere,” Han Li said with a smile.

Han Li did not specify which female cultivators he wanted, but he already had some targets in mind, such as the well-known princesses of Daqian, duchesses, and so on.

He had also heard that the current empress was a stunningly beautiful and mature woman, gentle as water. Additionally, those high-cultivated and attractive noblewomen were also worth considering.

Han Li had long admired the legacy of Weiwu Yifeng and had not had the opportunity to act on it; all the wives and concubines he had taken were intact. Now, he was considering a change of taste.

Of course, Han Li was clear in his mind—those empresses and princesses could at most be his concubines, becoming his wives was out of the question.

As long as their cultivation was high, their appearance attractive, and their demeanor and figure were good, Han Li was willing to consider them for his harem. He planned to establish another Li Manor in the Daqian Capital City. Regardless of whether his descendants bore the Han or Li name, they were all his progeny and could provide him with rewards like cultivation, talent, and lifespan.

One Han Mansion, one Li Manor. In the future, he could consider establishing some other clans. After all, he was the source, and this would significantly reduce the risk of losing everything should Han Mansion ever fall.

“Agreed,” Chu Dingqian readily answered, finding this to be the easiest and least distressing of the five conditions.

What Chu Dingqian could never have imagined was that Han Li’s targets included the empress and princesses, which meant he would have to swallow his suffering silently in the future, with no way to express it.

“What is the sixth condition, Fellow Daoist Li?” Chu Dingqian inquired, figuring it might be as simple as the fifth.

“The sixth condition is also quite simple; all you have to do is give me that little furnace you’re holding,” Han Li said calmly.

“What?”

Chu Dingqian was startled, almost thinking he had misheard.

Warned by this, Han Li prepared to take action at any moment, and then he enunciated clearly, “I said, I want the little furnace in your hands.”

“As long as you agree, Fellow Daoist Chu, our alliance will be established, and I will protect Daqian for four hundred years, shielding it from the storm and ensuring the stable development of the Qian Dynasty.”
