"Do you know the exact location of the Page of Spirit of Flame?" Lu Xiaotian asked again.
"I've only obtained some information. As for its approximate location, I'll have to personally verify it," Lin Fang said without hesitation.
"In other words, without knowing its location, you want to ask for the twelve Green Vine Fairy Artifacts back from me?" Lu Xiaotian said with a faint smile.
"That depends on whether Fellow Dongfang dares to take a look or not. The Green Vine Fairy Artifacts are my fairy artifacts. Even if Fellow Dongfang forcibly refines them, their power will inevitably be reduced. A set of weakened immortal treasures is no longer a necessity for Fellow Daoist Dongfang. Compared to obtaining the information about the Page of Spirit of Flame, the risk is completely worth it, "Lin Fang said matter-of-factly.
"You're right, but it's not necessarily a risk. I've learned a new set of restrictions these days. I can use your Green Vine Fairy Artifacts to test it out. You can go back first. Come find me in three months, "Lu Xiaotian said.
"What restriction?" Lin Fang frowned.
"You can use it on your Green Vine Fairy Artifacts. Once I discover that you're up to no good, I can use the restriction to reduce the power of your Green Vine Fairy Artifacts by more than half. Of course, using the restriction will also affect you. If everything goes well, you can only use ninety percent of the Green Vine Fairy Artifacts' power. If you want to fully exert its power, you can only use it three times. If you use it more than three times, your Green Vine Fairy Artifacts will almost be scrapped," Lu Xiaotian said.
"What if it doesn't go well?" Lin Fang said with an ugly expression.
"If it doesn't go well, your Green Vine Fairy Artifacts will naturally be scrapped," Lu Xiaotian said as if nothing had happened.
"Fellow Dongfang, you don't have to worry about long delays. If someone else takes the Page of Spirit of Flame in advance, Fellow Dongfang, it will be too late for regrets," Lin Fang said.
"If the treasure is really taken away in advance, there's nothing I can do. Your Green Vine Fairy Artifacts are very powerful, but even you haven't fully exerted its power. If I return it to you without any restrictions, wouldn't it be like letting a tiger return to the mountain? Wouldn't it let a potential enemy like you become stronger again?"
Lu Xiaotian shook his head. For the time being, he couldn't confirm whether what Lin Fang said was true or false. Moreover, the Page of Spirit of Flame was only one of the ways for him to break through to the Genuine Immortal Realm. It was indeed extremely important for him, but not indispensable.
"Fine, then I'll let fellow Dongfang use that restriction." Lin Fang took a deep breath, knowing that he had no room to bargain in this matter. "I hope, Fellow Dongfang,"
"Of course." Lu Xiaotian nodded. If the other party was sincere about cooperating with him, then it wouldn't be a problem for him to return the Azure Vine Immortal Artifact to them. ................
After reaching a temporary agreement, Lin Fang took his leave. The Zhao Family had already arrived outside Bright Lake Elegant Abode with gifts.
"I'm Zhao Kuizhi. I heard that Fellow Daoist Dongfang had become a Pill Sage, so I came to visit with some gifts. Our Cloud Pagoda City is led by the Zhao and Jiang Families, and we have several Genuine Immortals in succession. However, this is the first time we have a Pill Sage." Zhao Kuizhi asked the two Grand Ascension Stage cultivators behind him to send the gifts to Bright Lake Elegant Abode.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao is too polite. It's just that I can't accept Fellow Daoist Zhao's gifts for nothing. " Lu Xiaotian politely declined Zhao Kuizhi's invitation. Zhao Kuizhi looked mature and steady, and his aura was dense. One would not slap a smiling face.
Zhao Kuizhi had come with gifts and represented the Zhao Family, so he couldn't be disrespectful. After all, he already had some enmity with Jiang Li. He couldn't fall out with the Zhao Family. Before he grew his wings, he wouldn't completely oppose the Genuine Immortal Families of Cloud Pagoda City, even if the Genuine Immortals of those two families weren't in Cloud Pagoda City all year round.
"It's fine. They're just immortal herbs and other materials needed for refinement. My Zhao Family has a few Pill Monarchs, so it would be a waste to give these materials to them. It's better to give them to Fellow Daoist Dongfang. If Fellow Daoist Dongfang really feels bad, then you can provide some convenience for my Zhao Family when you refine immortal pills in the future."
Zhao Kuizhi had originally wanted to invite Lu Xiaotian to join the Zhao Family directly. However, the aura around Lu Xiaotian's body gave him an unfathomable feeling. He didn't seem like an ordinary person. So, it wasn't appropriate for him to casually invite Lu Xiaotian since he didn't have the confidence to do so. He didn't want to embarrass both sides. So, he decided to wait until he returned to the Zhao Family to discuss and decide what kind of price to pay to recruit Lu Xiaotian.
"Fellow Daoist Dongfang, please don't refuse. This time, I was entrusted by my family to bring these gifts to Fellow Daoist Dongfang. I just want to make friends with Fellow Daoist Dongfang. I have no other malicious intentions."
Hu Xiaofeng, the old man with the black cane, Mo Da, and a few others were watching from the side. They were worried that if Lu Xiaotian was so easily recruited by the Zhao Family, their role would obviously decline. However, this matter could only be decided by Lu Xiaotian himself, so they didn't want to intervene.
"Alright, I'll accept the gifts for the time being. Afterward, I can use these immortal herbs and other materials to refine immortal pills and provide them to Fellow Daoist Zhao at a discount." Lu Xiaotian nodded.
Zhao Kuizhi laughed and said a few polite words to Lu Xiaotian, Hu Xiaofeng, and the others before leaving.
Not long after Zhao Kuizhi left, the Jiang Family sent people over with generous gifts to apologize to Lu Xiaotian. Their attitude was extremely sincere. Lu Xiaotian was only polite to them and didn't reject them because of the previous conflict. Compared to the Zhao Family, the Jiang Family's people came to ask Lu Xiaotian, a Grade-One Alchemy Sage, to join them was obviously a little too impatient. Lu Xiaotian naturally rejected them.
"This Jiang Family is really impatient. They only offered such a small condition and they want to recruit Fellow Daoist Dongfang. What a good idea." After sending off the people of the Jiang Family, Hu Xiaofeng said disapprovingly. Then, she looked at Lu Xiaotian and said, "Between the Jiang Family and the Zhao Family, which one does Fellow Daoist Dongfang prefer?"
"It's hard to say for now. Let's wait for the True Immortals of these two families to state their conditions first before making a decision."
Lu Xiaotian shook his head. Compared to accepting the other party's recruitment, Lu Xiaotian was more inclined to cooperate with the two families. The other party would provide all kinds of alchemy materials and he would refine the immortal pills. Even if the other party was a True Immortal, Lu Xiaotian wouldn't be willing to work for them just for some benefits.
Of course, if the True Immortal family used their power to suppress him, Lu Xiaotian wouldn't choose to resist for the time being. He would have to see the specific situation.
"That's right. Fellow Daoist Dongfang is now the only Alchemy Sage in Pagoda Cloud City. Although the Jiang Family and the Zhao Family occupy the place with the densest immortal aura in Pagoda Cloud City and have collected the most immortal herbs, the True Immortals are not here all year round. The other immortals also have a lot of good things in their hands. It's not necessary to work under the nose of others." Hu Xiaofeng smiled charmingly.
