Chapter 1525 Negotiation

At this moment, Jue Yuan's face showed a solemn expression: "Then how do you say that we can make it last?"

"If we want this to last long, we must re-sign the Heavenly Dao Contract to stipulate the rights of the Mercenary Alliance Master, and all of you mercenaries should obey the orders of the Mercenary Alliance Master."

"Follow the orders of the leader of the Mercenary Alliance? What if the leader of the Mercenary Alliance tells us to die?"

"Then you can go die."

"Master Zhang, the Great Spiritual Plant Master, is really joking. Who wouldn't cherish their lives when they reach the realm of Refining Void like us? Especially our Mercenary Alliance, we are famous for cherishing our lives. Even if I, the leader of the Mercenary Alliance, agree to you, I'm afraid the other brothers won't agree."

"Have you ever considered this: if you could create greater value for the Mercenary Alliance Leader, a value that even exceeds the salary he pays you, how could he possibly let you die? If you just cling to him like leeches, he'd be more than happy to quietly smack you to death one by one."

"And with my strength, I believe that even if there are fifty of you in the Refining Void Realm, it is impossible for you to eat and sleep together every day, right? There will always be a time when you are alone, right?" Zhang Xuan showed a gloomy smile of a villain on his face.

"You are going to become the leader of our mercenary alliance, so why are you so dark? Are you planning to murder your own comrades?"

"How do you mean assassinating someone? If he doesn't obey, the only option is to beat him to death." Zhang Xuan said.

"It seems that there is still a lack of necessary trust between us."

"There's an old saying that money is hard to earn, but shit is hard to eat. Throughout Broken Sky City, and even the entire Dragon Spine Divine Realm, earning even a single cultivation resource is incredibly difficult. Expecting something for nothing will inevitably backfire."

Jue Yuan was speechless for a moment after hearing this, and said, "Master Zhang, you just said that in Broken Sky City and even in the Dragon Spine Divine Realm, it is extremely difficult to earn cultivation resources. Don't you think my Mercenary Alliance wants to earn resources? Isn't it impossible to earn? We can only do some odd jobs like escorting spiritual materials and acting as bodyguards. We can't earn much spirit stones. What else can we do if we can't eat?"

"You're hungry because you're unwilling to take risks. If you were willing to take risks, there would be plenty of resources. Have you ever been to the ruins of the Divine Realm? Have you ever been to the battlefield of the Ancient Star? These are places where heroes can show their talents. There are plenty of resources. It all depends on whether you're willing to pick them up."

After hearing this, Jue Yuan said, "Master Zhang, I've already said that when one reaches the realm of Refining Void, the most important thing is to cherish life. Otherwise, the people in my Mercenary Alliance wouldn't have gathered together for the sake of immortality. The places you mentioned are not only places where heroes can display their skills, but also tombs of heroes."

"So you still want to live forever? You're just a bunch of cowardly rabble, unwilling to fight or compete, and afraid to take risks. How can you achieve immortality?"

"Going to the old site of the Divine Realm, going to the Ancient Star Battlefield, how do I know you're not treating us as cannon fodder?"

"It's simple. I always lead the charge in every action. If anyone has to die, I'll be the first to die."

"Leading by example... Okay, well said. Can this be written into the Heavenly Dao Contract?"

"As long as you completely obey my orders, of course you can write it into the Heavenly Dao Contract."

At this time, Jue Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, as long as Master Zhang the Great Spiritual Plant Master can lead by example, no matter if it means going through fire and water, we, the Mercenary Alliance, are willing to obey your orders."

"Okay, if that's the case, can Fellow Daoist Jueyuan include these words in the Heavenly Dao Contract?"

Jue Yuan nodded and said, "Okay."

"If that's the case, I can serve as the leader of this mercenary alliance."

"Good, good, good," Jue Yuan couldn't help but clap his hands after hearing this. "With Master Zhang, the alchemist and weapon refiner, as the leader of our mercenary alliance, our mercenary alliance will surely prosper."

Jue Yuan didn't expect things to go so smoothly.

"Then could you please give me these bottles of Earth Spirit Milk you have on hand?"

"That won't work. Our brothers from the Mercenary Alliance emptied their fortunes to buy this Earth Spirit Milk. How can we give it to you?"

"I've already become the leader of the Mercenary Alliance, so why don't you obey my orders?"

"Your orders are for you to lead everything and we follow you. How can we do something like snatching food from our brothers' mouths?"

"Okay, then I'll borrow this Earth Spirit Milk first, that's fine."

"I can borrow it, but what can you use as collateral?"

"Is it okay for me to use the income from my sixth-level spiritual farm for the next four hundred years as collateral?"

"can."

As he spoke, Jue Yuan gave all five bottles of Earth Spirit Milk to Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan was overjoyed when he got five bottles of Earth Spirit Milk.

With so much Earth Spirit Milk, it was no surprise that he would advance to the middle stage of Refining Void.

Jue Yuan also took out a Heavenly Dao Contract and wrote down the contents of the previous discussion. He said, "As long as the leader of the Mercenary Alliance leads by example, no matter what orders he issues, the brothers of our Mercenary Alliance will obey. In addition, the leader of the Mercenary Alliance needs to pay the mercenaries' salaries annually. If there is any arrears, he must also pay interest on the arrears. Do you think this Heavenly Dao Contract is acceptable?"

Henry Zhang took a look, nodded and said, "Okay, then let's sign this Heavenly Dao Contract together."

Zhang Xuan directly imprinted a wisp of his divine consciousness on this Heavenly Dao Contract.

Jue Yuan was overjoyed, and without hesitation, he imprinted a trace of his divine consciousness on the Heavenly Dao Contract.

Jue Yuan chuckled and said, "From now on, you are our commander-in-chief. The two of us have already signed this Heavenly Dao Contract. I will take it back and have the rest of the brothers sign it together. It will all be imprinted on this Heavenly Dao Contract. I wonder when the commander-in-chief will come to my Floating Continent to take up his post?"

"Maybe in a few years. I still need to refine this Earth Spirit Milk to reach a new realm."

"After a few years...even if we come back to take office after a few years, we still have to pay our annual salary." Jue Yuan said embarrassedly.

Zhang Xuan looked at Jue Yuan's haggling look and said, "Okay, this is your salary for the next five years, a total of 10,000 Yuanshi-level top-grade spirit stones. Take it first."

As he spoke, Henry Zhang handed over a storage bag.

Jue Yuan took the storage bag handed over by Zhang Xuan and said happily: "Thank you, Commander."

After saying this, the boss of the mercenary alliance left happily.

In fact, during the conversation with Zhang Xuan just now, he told a lot of false information.

For example, the rumor that the Ye family betrayed Zhang Xuan's information is completely false.

It is even more ridiculous to say that the Ye family is still paying the mercenary alliance's wages.

Their mercenary alliance had been out of food for hundreds of years, and now they finally had a new leader, and they finally saw their money back.

I can finally live a life of lying down again.

Thinking of this, Jue Yuan was so moved that he almost cried.
