The first condition was a Crystallized Enzyme Fruit. The second condition was not to step into the Great Thousand World for a thousand years.
When he heard this, Jing Yuntian was in disbelief. Zhong Shan was too selfless. Two conditions that were not even considered conditions in exchange for the Universal Mirror Tower? Wasn't this equivalent to giving it away for free? The Crystallized Enzyme Fruit was rare in the Great Thousand World, but there were many in the Crystal Race. Not to step into the Great Thousand World for a thousand years was a tradition of the Crystal Race.
When he thought of what Zhong Shan had said, "There is no free lunch in the world. I, Zhong Shan, am not a good person," Jing Yuntian thought deeply. However, after thinking for a while, he did not find any problems.
Zhong Shan was not in a hurry. He drank tea while waiting.
In the distance, the elder of the Crystal Race was very conflicted. What conditions did Zhong Shan propose that made the chief so embarrassed?
After a while, Zhong Shan put down his teacup and said, "Old chief, what do you think?"
Jing Yuntian could not find any way to break the formation. In the end, he nodded and said, "Okay, I agree."
"Old chief, you are really straightforward!" Zhong Shan said with a smile.
"Can you give me the Universal Mirror Tower now?" the old chief asked.
Zhong Shan looked at him strangely and said, "Old chief, what do you mean?"
"Huh?" Jing Yuntian frowned slightly and said, "Chung Holy King, what do you mean?"
"Me? Old chief, I came here with sincerity. What you said just now was not sincere. "Zhong Shan shook his head and looked very disappointed.
"Huh?" Jing Yuntian was also at a loss.
"Chung Holy King, please tell me clearly!" Jing Yuntian said in a deep voice.
"Well, maybe you don't understand what I mean. The first condition is a Crystallized Enzyme Fruit. The second condition is not to step into the Great Thousand World for a thousand years. Now, only one incense stick's worth of time has passed. How can you guarantee that the Crystal Race will maintain this principle for less than a thousand years?" Zhong Shan asked.
Jing Yuntian said, "Yes! @ # ¥% …&"
It turned out that Zhong Shan didn't intend to offer the All-Encompassing Mirror Tower now.
"Chung Holy King, is this your sincerity?" Jing Yuntian said with a heavy expression.
Zhong Shan shook his head and said, "Old Patriarch, since we're negotiating, I think both sides should be sincere. I'm giving you what you want, but you're not giving me what I want. Who's not sincere?"
Jing Yuntian raised his eyebrows slightly.
"A thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye. Have I harmed the interests of the crystallizers? A thousand years later, I will present you with the ultimate treasure of the crystallizers. Could it be that you can't even wait for a short thousand years? "Zhong Shan asked again.
Jing Yuntian was momentarily at a loss for words. This transaction went from simple to complicated in the blink of an eye.
"We crystallizers will keep our promise. How can you promise me that? How do I know that you won't go back on your word after a thousand years? "Jing Yuntian said solemnly.
This matter concerned the crystallizers, so Jing Yuntian had to be frank.
"I said that I came with sincerity. Naturally, I won't let you suffer a loss. After a while, I will return to the Wind Tomb Weave. I will leave the All-Encompassing Mirror Tower in the Extreme North. The crystallizers can send people to inspect it once a year. At the same time, I will issue a Book of Announcements to the World, which will inform the world of our transaction. Even if I don't go back on my word, you can use righteousness or ask the Saints to take back the All-Encompassing Mirror Tower from me. How about it? "Zhong Shan said.
Huh?
Looking at Zhong Shan, Jing Yuntian couldn't figure out what Zhong Shan was thinking. The transaction was extremely fair, but why did he feel that the crystallizers were panicking?
"Patriarch, I risked my life to get the Wanxiang Mirror Tower. It's a treasure of your race. I could even use it to blackmail the Crystallizers for more benefits, but I didn't. I know the mission of the Crystallizers is to guard the Astral Devil Field. Your mission is extremely sacred, so I took out the Wanxiang Mirror Tower without hesitation. If there's a war with the Astral Devil Field, the Wanxiang Mirror Tower will stay in the north and help you. However, the world is in chaos, and I don't want you to get involved. You should be aware that the world is in chaos, and I'm worried that the Crystallizers will get involved in the chaos, which will cause me to neglect the outside world."
"For the people of the world, Zhong Shan has to be a villain for once. It's not that I don't trust the crystallizers. It's just that the internal conflict and external threats are rising at the same time. There are too many variables. I don't want to see the Heavenly Demon Realm take advantage of the situation after the heroes of the world are fighting each other. The people will be plunged into misery and suffering, and the races will be wiped out. If the crystallizers keep to their principles and don't get tempted by external threats, what is there to be afraid of? My principle is to put the people of the world first! "Zhong Shan said solemnly.
My principle is to put the people of the world first!
Outside the pavilion, the Golden Roc, the Blade Killer, and Luo Xingchen's expressions suddenly became strange.
Because not long ago, the Holy King said to the Empress, "The people of the world? What does it have to do with you? The people of the world are plunged into misery and suffering? Why are you so anxious? "
The three officials were full of admiration for Zhong Shan. They had just come into contact with the principle of the people of the world, and in the blink of an eye, the principle of the people of the world was used by the Holy King. It was like an unattainable mountain pressing down on Jing Yuntian, leaving him speechless.
For a moment, Jing Yuntian actually felt a trace of shame. He was ashamed that he shouldn't have had such thoughts before. Chung Holy King put the people of the world first and set all kinds of restrictions for the crystallizers. Yet, he was still not satisfied?
Jing Yuntian was suddenly shocked. Shame? He was actually ashamed during the negotiation? Was this still a negotiation?
Jing Yuntian immediately collected his thoughts and said again, "I admire the righteousness of the Chung Holy King, but I represent the crystallizers. Therefore, there are some things that I have to be clear about. I would like to ask the Chung Holy King to be more specific. "
Zhong Shan smiled and nodded, "Of course. I can't ask too much of you. Of course, you can also see that my two conditions are not harsh at all. After a few days, I will leave the Extreme North. I will send an official of the Daikon State to stay in the Extreme North. He will be responsible for guarding the Wanxiang Mirror Tower. If the old patriarch is interested, you can often contact him. If the crystallizers can, I hope to send some experts to protect his safety!"
An official? Jing Yuntian immediately nodded. Dealing with an official of the Daikon State was easier than dealing with Zhong Shan.
"Okay, this is not a problem." Jing Yuntian nodded.
"Good. In the next few months, I have to make arrangements for my official. When everything is arranged properly, I will inform the old patriarch to meet with my official before I leave. How about that?" Zhong Shan smiled and said.
Jing Yuntian pondered for a while.
"Old patriarch, are you afraid that I will run away?" Zhong Shan smiled and said.
Jing Yuntian sighed slightly. This Zhong Shan in front of him was really amazing. It seemed that he could read his thoughts every time.
"I won't expose the Wanxiang Mirror Tower for no reason just for a Crystal Enzyme Fruit, and I won't deliberately offend your clan just for a Crystal Enzyme Fruit. Perhaps I can exchange for the Crystal Enzyme Fruit with another condition, so why go through so much trouble? I have indeed come with sincerity. I hope the old patriarch won't disappoint Zhong Shan like a month ago! "Zhong Shan said in a deep voice.
A month ago? Jing Yuntian let out a bitter smile. If it wasn't for the humiliation from a month ago, the negotiations could still continue. No matter what price he had to pay, he would first obtain the Wanxiang Mirror Tower and then talk about other things. However, a month of humiliation was like a bucket of cold water poured on the other party's sincerity. Zhong Shan was already extremely benevolent to go to this extent.
"Alright, Chung Holy King. A month ago, my race let you down. I agree to your conditions. I hope that Chung Holy King won't disappoint me!" Jing Yuntian said solemnly.
Zhong Shan stood up and bowed slightly. "Then Zhong Shan will thank the old patriarch on behalf of the people in the world for your righteousness!"
Thank him on behalf of the people in the world? The Golden Roc and the other two were at a loss.
"Chung Holy King, there's no need for that!" Jing Yuntian immediately stood up and returned the bow.
"Alright, then I will immediately head to the Black Tortoise Tribe to settle some personal grudges with the Black Heaven Sect. I won't disturb the old patriarch any longer!" Zhong Shan said.
As he spoke, he casually picked up the Crystal Enzyme Fruit.
"Alright!" Jing Yuntian nodded.
"I'll see you in a few months!" Zhong Shan said.
"Alright!"
In the eyes of the elders of the Crystal Tribe, Zhong Shan didn't leave the Myriad Mirror Tower behind. Instead, he took a jade box from the old patriarch and left.
Left? They left? What about the Myriad Mirror Tower?
A group of elders flew over like a swarm of bees.
"Patriarch, why did Zhong Shan leave? Where is the Myriad Mirror Tower? "An elder asked anxiously.
The old patriarch took a deep breath and recounted the contents of the negotiation.
"Father, what should we do if he runs away?" Jing Ping immediately cried out.
"I believe in him. He won't run away!" Jing Yuntian said in a deep voice.
The group of elders of the Crystal Tribe also had mixed feelings. Some of them believed in Zhong Shan, while others didn't.
Most importantly, the young patriarch, Jing Ping, was extremely anxious at this moment. What … what was this? They couldn't participate in the Great Thousand World's conflict? This completely contradicted Jing Ping's ideals.
"Father, you can't!" Jing Ping immediately cried out.
"Bastard, I don't know what you're thinking. Jing Ping, listen to me clearly. You're not allowed to interact with the descendants of Pangu in the future. Our Crystal Tribe can't be destroyed by your hands! "Jing Yuntian immediately shouted.
"Yes!" Jing Ping's expression turned ugly, but he didn't dare to talk back.
"Wait patiently for a few months!" Jing Yuntian said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" Everyone immediately responded.
"Patriarch, what about the invitation from the Black Tortoise Tribe? Who should we send to the Ice God Palace's Sacrificial Ceremony? "An elder asked.
"Sacrificial Ceremony? Forget it, we won't go this time, "Jing Yuntian said immediately.
"Why?" Everyone was surprised.
"Zhong Shan has a personal grudge with the Black Heaven Sect. Who will we help if we go? Watch coldly from the sidelines? We just promised Zhong Shan that we won't participate in any disputes in the Great Thousand World. Are we going to break the rules immediately? Moreover, Gonggong has escaped. Who can guarantee that he won't return immediately? Everyone, stay in the tribe and guard against Gonggong's revenge, "Jing Yuntian said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" Everyone had no choice but to agree.
Zhong Shan and the others were flying.
"Holy King, are we really going to give the Myriad Mirror Tower to the Crystal Tribe so easily? Our Daikon State won't get any benefits at all! "The Golden Roc frowned.
"Who said so? At least we'll deal with the Black Heaven Sect immediately. The Crystal Tribe won't get involved, "Zhong Shan said with a faint smile.
"Uh, why didn't I notice?" The Golden Roc was slightly surprised.
After thinking for a while, Zhong Shan didn't hide anything from the three of them. "Within a thousand years, I'll unify the Northern Continent. Once the Northern Continent is unified, the Crystal Tribe won't be able to escape the fate of joining the Daikon State. I believe that with Xiao Wang holding the Myriad Mirror Tower and interacting with the Crystal Tribe's elders every day, he'll definitely be able to slowly convince them!"
