Chapter 3444 The only hope

Lin Yi found it difficult to speak up, but it was possible.

Once the transaction is complete, speak up immediately and get your hands on it.

We should try our best to secure more spiritual veins for Lin Yi and alleviate some of his worries.

No one paid any attention to the Yin-Yang Soul Beast's mutterings.

.......

"I heard that the matter has been resolved and they have reached a deal."

"Oh, what are the conditions?"

"News has spread that a deal has been reached in exchange for spiritual veins and spiritual crystals."

"Ah, the Sword Sect wouldn't really agree to give up a ninth-tier spiritual vein and top-grade spiritual crystals, would they?"

Everyone was utterly incredulous upon hearing this; in their eyes, it was impossible.

Even the most powerful Dao Lords, no matter how valuable, cannot compare to a ninth-tier spiritual vein or a top-grade spiritual crystal.

That is the true foundation of the Sword Sect. If we bring it out, wouldn't we be destroying our own foundation?

Unless the Sword Sect has no shortage of ninth-order spiritual veins and top-grade spiritual crystals, but that's impossible.

No matter how terrifying the Sword Sect is, it has no way to obtain a large number of ninth-grade spiritual veins and top-grade spiritual crystals.

These two treasures are extremely rare even in this world.

Under these circumstances, it is impossible for the Sword Sect to agree to use it as a condition of the deal.

If the Nine Cauldrons Sect persists in its stance, there will only be one outcome: the Sword Sect will launch a major war.

Of course, there is another option: to not react at all for the time being.

Unexpectedly, the Sword Sect actually agreed.

They just can't understand it; they really can't understand it.

"Everyone, I heard that it is not a ninth-order spiritual vein, but an eighth-order spiritual vein, and not a top-grade spiritual crystal, but a high-grade spiritual crystal."

"Ah, that makes sense now. Otherwise, I really can't understand how the Sword Sect could agree to destroy its own foundation."

"I don't know how many eighth-tier spiritual veins and high-grade spiritual crystals they sacrificed."

One thing is certain: it is definitely not an eighth-order spiritual vein, nor is it a high-grade spiritual crystal.

The Nine Cauldrons Sect would never agree to this unless they were truly afraid of the Sword Sect.

But how is that possible?

If they were truly afraid, they wouldn't have controlled the two members of the Sword Clan.

Most importantly, if this happens, the Nine Cauldrons Sect will be utterly disgraced and become a laughingstock.

With the Nine Cauldrons Sect holding absolute initiative, it will certainly strive to gain the greatest benefits.

"The exact amount is still unclear, and it probably won't be leaked."

"After all, it's not good for any of them."

"The Nine Cauldrons Sect benefited, while the Sword Sect paid the price. Perhaps this was part of the deal, a way to keep both sides confidential."

"Of course, it was mostly the Sword Sect that proposed this condition."

.........

This matter is now completely over, but they would very much like to observe the transaction process.

But they themselves knew that it was impossible.

I don't have the guts either.

.......

Next, there's only one final step left, and then this matter will be completely finished.

As for whether the Sword Sect will retaliate in the future, that's another matter.

The exchange went very smoothly, and the Sword Sect members didn't utter any harsh words.

The Sword Sect truly lives up to its reputation as one of the strongest sects in this world, as it was able to deliver the terms of the transaction in such a short time.

"Hehe, I do hope to come more often."

Looking at the gains from the storage space and then at the departing figures of the Sword Sect members, someone from the Nine Cauldrons Sect said with a smile.

Only when you see the harvest do you realize how enormous it is.

They didn't make a move and left them there.

If that were to happen, there would be absolutely no room for reconciliation between the two sides.

What follows will inevitably be an uncontrollable battle.

This would not benefit the Nine Cauldrons Sect at all.

In reality, the Nine Cauldrons Sect was the biggest beneficiary.

There's no need to create trouble for yourself.

"Don't mess around!"

Yuan Qing warned.

The fact that we can gain a considerable amount from the Sword Sect this time is due to a very special factor.

"Ok!"

........

"and many more!"

As they prepared to return with the treasures they had acquired, the Yin-Yang Soul Beast spoke.

"Yin Yang, what brings you here?"

"This harvest includes a portion of Lin Yi's earnings, right? Aren't you going to share it?"

"In fact, I can say that if it weren't for Lin Yi, I wouldn't have been able to obtain even a single spirit stone, let alone fifty eighth-order spirit veins and five hundred high-grade spirit crystals."

At this time, the Yin-Yang Soul Beast naturally needs to seize the opportunity; otherwise, it will be difficult to obtain it from them later.

As for waiting for Du Daosheng to return, we can't afford to waste any more time, as the Yin-Yang Soul Beast might encounter some unexpected problems.

As the head of a sect, Du Daosheng would very likely refuse.

After all, this gain will definitely be of great help to the Nine Cauldrons Sect.

As for Lin Yi, he is only at the Dao Integration Realm, so he doesn't need it at all. If he really needs it, he can simply ask his sect for permission.

but not now.

Moreover, it's unknown when Lin Yi's other two bodies will arrive.

The Nine Cauldrons Sect will certainly not mistreat Lin Yi, of course, this is under the condition that certain things have not been exposed.

When that moment comes, they will definitely try to leave the Nine Cauldrons Sect as soon as possible, rather than risk their lives here.

Once exposed, who knows what their attitude will be? Trapped in the Nine Cauldrons Sect, it will be impossible to leave and decide one's own fate.

"Yin Yang, you're right, but we can only wait until the sect leader returns, then you can discuss it with him."

Yuan Qing didn't give a definitive answer, but it was clear that he wouldn't be giving it any spiritual veins or crystals at the moment.

"Why don't you just transmit your voice directly?"

"Besides, this kind of thing doesn't need to be asked for permission. It's obvious that there's no problem at all, and I don't even need to say anything."

"Furthermore, this whole thing was Lin Yi's idea."

Its opening was completely different from Lin Yi's opening.

Even if they know it's nonsense, they still have to take it seriously.

I dare not make a decision easily.

After all, this concerns Lin Yi.

He had to be careful about what Lin Yi would think if this got back to him.

"Yin Yang, don't worry. You yourself said that there's definitely no problem. Why don't we wait a little longer?"

"Besides, we need to wait for the sect leader to return before we can have a chance to see Lin Yi, don't you think?"

Yuan Qing explained.

"Hmph, I knew it. You never considered Lin Yi a member of the Nine Cauldrons Sect. If Lin Yi weren't a disciple of your sect's patriarch, I think you would have..."

"Yin Yang, don't talk nonsense. No matter what Lin Yi's identity is, he is our sect's hope, and our only hope."
