"Chen Li, what nonsense are you talking about?"
A student from the Imperial Academy couldn't help but whisper. They had watched helplessly as the people from the Heavenly Dao Sect and Golden Sun Sect bullied them, and now they wanted to be friendly? It was too late!
Exactly, why should we help them?
Hearing the discussions around him, Chen Li merely smiled and said nothing more. He turned to Lin Xuan, his gaze clear and resolute.
Noticing this, Lin Xuan felt a stir in his heart and lowered his voice to ask, "Chen Li, why did you agree to them? Earlier, some of the seniors from Heavenly Dao Sect and Golden Sun Sect were worried that Xiao Yue and I wouldn't be able to get out of the secret realm and spoke on our behalf."
Chen Li interrupted Lin Xuan's words with a smile. "A disciple should repay enmity with enmity and kindness with kindness."
Lin Xuan fell silent at this. He knew well that Chen Li was referring to the time they were taken away by the mysterious vortex. Although Chen Li and Shen Qingyue ultimately couldn't leave with him, he remembered the kindness shown by Xiao Ling, Kong Xuanba, and others who had spoken up for them.
However, the space here was limited. If they kept these people around and a beast appeared, it could spell trouble for them. Lin Xuan felt that while he might not measure up to an eight-year-old in terms of vision, looking at the cramped area and their scarce resources made him hesitate.
Now they were all lost in the Azure Wind Mountain Range with no way out, occasionally facing Beast Tides. Every bit of resource consumption could be fatal for them.
"Lin Xuan, I know what you're worried about," Chen Li said calmly. "But we can't give up the opportunity to cooperate with Heavenly Dao Sect and Golden Sun Sect just because of a few irrelevant people, can we? The Azure Wind Mountain Range is fraught with danger; having more strength means more security, doesn't it?"
Lin Xuan was momentarily stunned. He looked at Chen Li, feeling a surge of emotions. This kid had really grown up!
Xiao Xiao Ji understood that sometimes one must sacrifice small gains for greater benefits. Heavenly Dao Sect and Golden Sun Sect were major sects of the Qian Sheng Empire. Even if they borrowed some resources or pills from them now, once they left Azure Wind Mountain Range, they would only have to repay more.
As long as he could overcome that mental hurdle, it would surely bring him great benefits without any harm.
"Alright, let's do it your way!" Lin Xuan clapped Chen Li on the shoulder with eyes full of approval.
After saying this, he turned to face the Heavenly Dao Sect and Golden Sun Sect members and said loudly, "Cloud Sword, Blazing Sun, since you are willing to cooperate, let's bury the hatchet and work together to overcome this crisis!"
"Haha, Brother Lin Xuan is indeed a straightforward person!" The Cloud Sword Elder and the Blazing Sun Elder were overjoyed upon hearing this, quickly cupping their hands in gratitude.
"Brother Lin Xuan, rest assured, this time we will definitely work together sincerely to overcome difficulties!"
"Yes, anyone who dares to hold us back will have to answer to me first!"
Thus, the Imperial Academy, Heavenly Dao Sect, and Golden Sun Sect reached a cooperation agreement, deciding to temporarily set aside their differences and join forces against the dangers in the Azure Wind Mountain Range.
Watching this scene, Shen Qingyue nodded inwardly. Her cheap brother was no ordinary person! On the surface, he seemed harmless, but in reality, he was a meticulous thinker. His agreement to cooperate with the Heavenly Dao Sect and Golden Sun Sect was certainly not out of gratitude; perhaps he had some ulterior motives in mind!
"Brother, what exactly are you plotting?" Shen Qingyue couldn't help but lean closer to Chen Li, filled with curiosity.
"Want to know?" Chen Li turned to look at Shen Qingyue, a wicked smile curling at the corners of his mouth.
"Of course I do!" Shen Qingyue nodded without hesitation, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.
"Then you should beg me!" Chen Li teased Shen Qingyue deliberately, wearing a mischievous grin.
"You!" Shen Qingyue was instantly flustered and shot him a glare, yet felt helpless. After all, she had lost her sense of superiority as the Empress in front of this guy!
Biting her lip in frustration, Shen Qingyue silently vowed that one day she would surpass this cheap brother and make him look up to her!
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore." Seeing Shen Qingyue's puffed-up expression, Chen Li chuckled and ruffled her hair before lowering his voice. "The reason I agreed to cooperate with them is that I've discovered a secret."
Chen Li's voice dropped low enough that only Shen Qingyue could hear.
Intrigued by his words, Shen Qingyue perked up her ears, eager not to miss a single word. "What secret?"
"In this mountain range lies a Supreme Spirit Crystal Mine."
Chen Li paused for a moment. "It's an excellent material for inscribing Spirit Talismans. As long as I can obtain enough materials, I can inscribe more advanced Spirit Talismans."
Shen Qingyue's expression changed in surprise. "Advanced Spirit Talismans?"
In the realm of heaven and earth, Talisman is the most mysterious and profound, categorized into four major levels: Heaven, Earth, Mysterious, and Yellow. It is said that powerful individuals can gather and inscribe Spiritual Energy into Spirit Talismans, creating Heavenly Realm Spirit Talismans. A single Spirit Talisman can contend with a Saint, wielding immense power.
However, without suitable materials, the ability to gather Spiritual Energy is extremely limited, and correspondingly, the combat capability is also very restricted. For instance, although Chen Li had produced a bunch of Spirit Talismans, they were all of the lowest grade: Yellow-Level Spirit Talismans. They relied solely on Chen Li's cultivation level and could only deal with Cultivators below the Innate Realm Ninth Level. Using them against higher-level Cultivators would be akin to tickling.
Unexpectedly, this little brother of hers had even bigger ambitions, wanting to create Mysterious-Level Spirit Talismans. Was that easy to make?
As if guessing her thoughts, Chen Li smiled and said, "Little girl, my talisman-making skills are top-notch. As long as I have the materials, I guarantee I can produce some Mysterious-Level Spirit Talismans. At that time, even if we don't unseal our cultivation levels, we could handle an Innate Ninth Level Cultivator without any problem."
By the end of his statement, Chen Li's eyes sparkled with excitement as he looked towards the two elders from Heavenly Dao Sect and Golden Sun Sect and continued, "We might even stand a chance against a Mystic Boundary First Level opponent!"
Shen Qingyue fell silent, gazing at Chen Li with a somber expression. She had just managed to recover to the Innate Realm Ninth Level but hadn’t had the chance to showcase her abilities before this guy stole the spotlight! This overwhelming combat power was simply astonishing! She began to doubt whether her former strength as an Empress even mattered anymore.
Even though she had once been an extraordinary Empress, she never imagined that in the Eight-Year Era, someone at the Innate Realm would dare to think about challenging a Mystic Boundary Cultivator!
The two siblings whispered back and forth for quite some time. Meanwhile, not far away, as they were tidying up their belongings, the Cloud Sword Elder from Heavenly Dao Sect and the Fiery Sun Elder from Golden Sun Sect suddenly felt a chill run down their spines and couldn’t help but sneeze.
They looked around in confusion and murmured to each other, "Could someone be cursing Old Madam?"
