Chapter 294 Lure him with benefits
"Master, this... the price of returning to the mountain gate is a bit too high."
The head of the Cheng family shook his head, thought it over again and again, and finally rejected Bai Lan.
If he really signed a soul contract with Bai Lan, wouldn't he, a Jindan stage cultivator, be controlled by a foundation building stage cultivator?
This is so unreasonable!
Although the Foundation Establishment cultivator in front of him had an extraordinary origin, the Spirit Transformation Stage cultivator of the Yuling Sect was just Bai Lan's one-sided statement.
It is still unknown whether there really is a god or it is just a god created by Bai Lan's words.
Not credible, not credible.
"Too heavy?" Bai Lan slowly stood up and shook his head: "Forget it, I wanted to give the medium-sized spiritual vein in the mountain gate to the Cheng family, but now it seems that I was being too sentimental."
The Cheng family head's eyes lit up. A medium-sized spiritual vein?
That's a spiritual vein. They can give it away just like that. Can a declining sect afford to give it?
After Bai Lan finished speaking, he waved his hand and stood up to leave, but was stopped again by the head of the Cheng family.
"Master! Master, please stay."
The head of the Cheng family stepped forward and smiled warmly again: "Everything is easy to discuss, but I don't know where the medium-sized spiritual vein is now? If we want to return to the mountain gate, does our Cheng family have to move to the Yuling Sect?"
"There's no rush for relocation. Your Cheng family's century-old foundation in Hongyan City cannot be abandoned just like that..." Bai Lan shook his head.
There are still five undiscovered spirit stone veins in Wuyun Continent, which are opportunities for Long Aotian and Bai Ling.
Two of them are medium-sized spiritual veins, and the other three are small spiritual veins. If all of them are developed, it will be enough for the Yuling Sect to make a fortune.
When the head of the Cheng family heard Bai Lan say that there was no need to move for the time being, the light in his eyes dimmed again.
He knew it was fake.
"However, if Master Cheng is really willing to return to the mountain gate, these pills will be a small gift from this master to the younger generation of the Cheng family." Bai Lan waved his sleeves, and five white jade medicine bottles appeared on the wooden table.
The head of the Cheng family looked up at Bai Lan in confusion, then picked up a medicine bottle, opened the stopper and sniffed it, his eyes lit up again.
The medicinal aroma is strong, the color is translucent, and the spiritual power is strong.
The moment the smell entered his nose, the head of the Cheng family's eyes lit up.
"This, this is the Foundation Establishment Pill!!!" he exclaimed in surprise.
It would be fine if it was just one Foundation Establishment Pill, but this jade bottle contains five Foundation Establishment Pills!
The female cultivator in front of me... no, the sect leader gave me twenty-five foundation-building pills at once. How generous is that?
"The recipes for the Foundation Establishment Pill are in the hands of the five major sects and major forces. They are hard to come by in the world of cultivation. Master, how did you get so many Foundation Establishment Pills?" The head of the Cheng family was already shocked.
"It's just a foundation-building pill. My Yuling Sect also has the recipe. It's nothing surprising." Bai Lan answered calmly. In the eyes of Patriarch Cheng, that understated tone exuded an endless aura of a master.
Bai Lan knew that the Foundation Establishment Pill was attractive enough to the head of the Cheng family.
Because according to Cheng Tianfeng, one foundation-building pill was enough to seal his marriage with Li Qiaoer.
This is enough to prove how precious the Foundation Establishment Pill is to families of the size of the Cheng and Li families.
"Master Cheng, you have to know that I want to sign a contract with you because I really want to treat the Cheng family as my trusted force. When the Yuling Sect develops in the future, I will naturally think of you first when there are benefits."
After Bai Lan finished speaking, he shook his head in disappointment, waved his sleeves, and put the five medicine bottles on the table into his storage bag.
"But since you don't want to...then forget it. My Yuling Sect is not short of resources, but only lacks people who are loyal to the sect."
The head of the Cheng family reluctantly turned his eyes away from the five bottles of pills, and his expression became even more hesitant.
This is true, there is no such thing as a free lunch.
Spiritual veins, recipes for foundation-building pills, heavenly-level techniques, and the protection of powerful men, each of these resources is indispensable for the rise of a major force in the world of cultivation.
The most heartbreaking thing is that the Cheng family has none of these four things.
What’s even more heartbreaking is that Bai Lan can provide all these four resources.
These rare resources are controlled by major sects and those Yuanying monsters. The cultivators who can obtain heavenly-level skills are either the direct disciples of the Yuanying monsters or the most talented among the geniuses of the major sects.
It is a rare opportunity for the Cheng family to have this opportunity.
He simply couldn't imagine what their Cheng family would become in a hundred years with these twenty-five foundation-building pills, the Meteorite Absolute Flame Technique, and that mid-grade spiritual vein!
"Okay, I promise you." The head of the Cheng family gritted his teeth and said.
Bai Lan shook his head: "It's not just you, doesn't the Cheng family have another Jindan cultivator?"
The head of the Cheng family broke through to the Jindan stage only recently, but the Cheng family already had a Jindan cultivator a long time ago.
This information was also thanks to Cheng Tianfeng, the good son, who boasted in front of Li Qiaoer.
The face of the Cheng family's patriarch changed several times, and finally he sighed: "To be honest, the other Jindan cultivator in the Cheng family is my mother. Although she is a Jindan cultivator, her life span is coming to an end. She has less than a year left..."
Ah this...
Cheng Tianfeng spoke so beautifully in front of Li Qiaoer.
What? The Cheng family now has two Jindan stage cultivators, while your Li family only has one. I ask you to be ungrateful and marry me quickly, otherwise the Cheng family will crush your Li family to the ground.
In reality, of the two people in the Cheng family who had reached the Jindan stage, only one remained after one year, and the remaining one was only at the early stage of the Jindan stage, having just broken through less than a month ago.
"What is your mother's current level of cultivation?"
"I'm in the middle stage of Jindan, but I can't break through the bottleneck for a long time."
Bai Lan pondered for a moment and looked at the Cheng family's Patriarch: "If we extend her lifespan by another thirty years, will she be able to break through to the late Jindan stage?"
For a cultivator in the Jindan stage, every time he breaks through a small realm, his life span will increase by about two hundred years.
Two hundred years is enough time for many changes to occur. If one encounters some opportunity, it is possible that one can advance to the Nascent Soul stage in one step.
Even if she cannot break through to the Nascent Soul stage, as a cultivator in the late Jindan stage, two hundred years will be enough to create enough wealth for the Cheng family.
"Yan, longevity pill? You actually have this kind of pill in your hand." The head of the Cheng family was shocked again.
The foundation-building pill was not considered too rare, but he had only seen the longevity pill in ancient books.
"If a life-extending pill can bring my Yuling Sect a strong man in the late Jindan stage, it will naturally be worth it."
Bai Lan had no need for the longevity elixir, so he didn't care much about it.
Now let's take a closer look at the spiritual herbs in the Void Stone...
The two main ingredients needed to refine the longevity elixir are Tianyuan Fruit and Snow Bone Jade Ginseng.
For the former, she dug out a Void Stone from the Ten Thousand Mountains, and for the latter, she got it from the sect's treasury. The jade ginseng was directly planted into the Void Stone by the spirit of the instrument for long-term cultivation. Although only one plant has been harvested so far, it is enough to refine a furnace of five longevity pills.
She had also planted a lot of auxiliary medicine Solanum nigrum in the Void Stone, and now she only lacked some medicinal ingredients.
