The master of the Heaven's Incense School stood in front of the World Gate with a group of experts. He did not give off an overbearing presence, nor did he show any displeasure or anger. Instead, he had a friendly smile on his face. He seemed like an amiable person, not even glancing at the burning oasis in the distance.
"I am the school master of the Heaven's Incense School, Lajund. I welcome you on behalf of the school. If you don't mind, please come into the miniature world and have a seat so that I can perform my duties as a host," the school master of the Heaven's Incense School said with a smile. In reality, he had lost the courage to fight when he saw Jianchen, Honglian, and Ruijin standing there emotionlessly as well as the Bright Moon Divine Hall hovering in the air.
"Hmph, our friends were just ambushed by the Heaven's Incense School a few days ago. It's only been a few days since we last saw each other.
How did the Heaven's Incense School, one of the ten great guardian clans, suddenly become so hospitable? " Honglian sneered. She was already equipped with the Ninerefined Godfire Feather while the Scorching Godfire Hairpin hovered above her head. She was ready for battle.
"It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. It's all a misunderstanding." Lajund did not become angered at all. He said apologetically, "Esteemed guests, the situation back then was just too special. The temptation of the Saints' Fruit was just too great, enough to make many Holy Emperor experts do crazy things. At the same time, our Heaven's Incense School was forced to make that choice. We had no choice, so we sincerely apologize for the situation back then."
Jianchen, Ruijin, and Honglian could not help but look at one another when they saw Lajund apologize so humbly. Before they had come to the Heaven's Incense School, they had already guessed that there would be many possibilities.
He had guessed many things that could happen, but he never thought that it would end up like this.
The oasis that the Heaven's Incense School had painstakingly nurtured over so many years had been burned down by Hong Lian. Not only was the school master not angry at all, he had even given up on his lofty status to apologize to them. They found this rather unbelievable.
After all, the Heaven's Incense School was one of the ten protector clans of the Tian Yuan Continent. As one of the most powerful clans on the continent, they obviously had a side of pride.
Ruijin stood with his hands behind his back as a profound smile appeared on his face. He gently said, "I never thought that the school master of the Heaven's Incense School would actually abandon his status to apologize to us. This has truly exceeded our expectations. Jianchen, you should deal with this matter. Honglian and I are only responsible for fighting."
Jianchen nodded slightly. The light in his eyes flickered as he stared at the people of the Heaven's Incense School. After a moment of thought, he said, "Esteemed school master Lajund, the experts of your Heaven's Incense School used the Poison of Heaven's End on senior Black Fish in the Death Nest, causing senior Black Fish to still be tortured by the poison. His life could be in danger at any time. Don't you think that's a joke if you want to resolve such a deep grudge with just a few words?"
"Jianchen is right. In order to express our sincerity, we are willing to offer the antidote to the Poison of Heaven's End as well as five Class 8 Monster Cores, twenty Class 7 Monster Cores, a hundred Class 6 Monster Cores, and five hundred Class 5 Monster Cores as an apology. We only hope that we can bury the hatchet." The master of the Heaven's Incense School said sincerely. He paused for a moment before continuing, "Of course, we know that you don't need these monster cores at all with your strength. However, from what I know, you have a powerful mercenary group under you. With the help of these monster cores, that group of mercenaries will definitely be able to use them.
With the help of these monster cores, their overall strength will definitely increase by quite a lot. "
Jianchen was indeed interested. Class 8 and 7 Monster Cores were rare items on the Tian Yuan Continent because basically all the powerful magical beasts were gathered on the Beast God Continent and in the depths of the Cross Mountains. Aside from those two places, it was very difficult to come across Class 7 Magical Beasts on the Tian Yuan Continent, let alone Class 8 Magical Beasts.
The Class 7 Magical Beasts in the Cross Mountains were protected by the Beast God Continent as well. As long as the magical beasts did not break the rules, even the experts of the protector clans could not slaughter them so easily. As a result, Class 7 Monster Cores were priceless on the Tian Yuan Continent, while Class 8 Monster Cores were completely extinct.
Jianchen was more than happy to have the Heaven's Incense School take the initiative to negotiate. After the battle in Changyang Prefecture, Jianchen had gained a completely new understanding of the heritage of the protector clans. If the protector clans used all their heritage, he would not necessarily be able to gain any benefits, so it was best if he did not offend the protector clans. Moreover, his enmity with the Heaven's Incense School was nowhere near as deep as in Changyang Prefecture. At the same time, Jianchen needed the monster cores provided by the Heaven's Incense School very much as well.
After a moment of thought, Jianchen said, "It's not impossible to turn hostility into friendship, but we'll have to raise the price."
"Brother Jianchen, may I ask how many you want? Why don't you give me a number so I can consider it?" Lajund let out a sigh of relief inside. Their protector clans did not lack monster cores. As long as they could resolve the matter peacefully, they would not mind losing some wealth. Even the protector clans did not want to offend experts on the level of Ruijin and Honglian so easily. Moreover, Jianchen possessed the Saints' Fruit. Before long, a true Holy Emperor would appear beside him.
A crafty light flashed through Jianchen's eyes. After seriously pondering for a while, he said, "Five Class 9 Monster Cores, twenty Class 8 Monster Cores, sixty Class 7 Monster Cores, five hundred Class 6 Monster Cores, and three thousand Class 5 Monster Cores."
Lajund's face darkened more and more when he heard Jianchen's number. His facial muscles twitched unnaturally when he heard the five Class 9 Monster Cores.
The Heaven's Incense School was very rich, but even with their wealth, it would still be a loss for them to obtain such a large number of high class monster cores.
"Y- y- you've gone too far. Do you think these high class monster cores are easy to obtain, especially Class 9 Monster Cores? Do you know just what kind of powerful magical beast would be able to produce a Class 9 Monster Core?" An old man beside the school master fumed with rage. In his eyes, Jianchen's group was robbing him, and they were robbing one of the ten protector clans, the Heaven's Incense School.
Jianchen crossed his arms and smiled, "Of course I know. Only magical beasts that have reached the level of the Holy Emperor can possess Class 9 Monster Cores. However, your Heaven's Incense School is a protector clan that has existed for over a million years. You must have quite a few Class 9 Monster Cores. "
"Monster cores can't be stored for too long, or the energy inside will solidify or flow away. It might even turn the monster core into a piece of tough rock. We have indeed obtained a few Class 9 Monster Cores in history, but there aren't a lot of them. However, our clan still consumes some of them, and once they exceed the time limit, they will be used by the experts of the clan. There are extremely few that have been preserved to this day. Five is indeed too much. We can give you two, "the school master said with a darkened face.
Jianchen shook his head. "No, not a single one less. Aside from the monster cores, I also want a Saint Tier cultivation method from your Heaven's Incense School, as well as a Heaven Tier Battle Skill that matches the cultivation method. Remember, I only want your poison attacks. Don't try to fool me with cultivation methods from outside."
Lajund was speechless. Only now did he discover that Jianchen's appetite was far greater than he had imagined, and there was no room for negotiation.
"Our Heaven's Incense School never passes our cultivation methods to outsiders. You're dreaming if you want our Saint Tier cultivation method."
"School master, they've gone too far. We can't compromise. Let's fight it out with them."
"Our Heaven's Incense School is a mighty protector clan. When have we ever been bullied like this? Do you really think we're afraid of you?"
The Saint Rulers behind the school master could not hold back any longer. They all furiously called out as their eyes were filled with fury and deep humiliation. As members of a protector clan, they had never been so humiliated before.
Jianchen said, "Esteemed school master Lajund, it looks like I must declare that before we came to the Heaven's Incense School, we already paid a visit to the protector clan of Changyang Prefecture and engaged in a great battle with them in the miniature world. We've already experienced the power of the Emperor Armament, Encirclement Formation, and Origin Formation, but they were still unable to keep us here. Instead, they reduced their miniature world to a mess and injured countless clansmen. I don't think a few monster cores can compare to their losses."
