Hearing the words of the He Brothers, Aotian couldn't help but smile wryly, feeling a bit regretful for not having learned alchemy and artifact forging.
In fact, when Yan was by Aotian's side, he had wanted to teach him the techniques of alchemy and artifact forging. However, at that time, Aotian was solely focused on enhancing his cultivation and improving his strength to rescue his mother, leaving no room to learn these skills.
Unexpectedly, the He Brothers would propose such a request now, making Aotian regret not having studied alchemy and artifact forging.
Seeing Aotian's expression darken, He Dan asked in confusion, "Aotian brother, do you have some difficulties?"
He Wu also looked at Aotian with a puzzled expression, while Snow Qincheng appeared somewhat worried. Clearly, she knew that Aotian had not learned any alchemy or artifact forging techniques.
Aotian gritted his teeth and said, "To be honest with you both, I have not learned alchemy or artifact forging techniques. Therefore, I cannot produce elixirs or weapons. It would be better if this competition did not take place; even if it does, I won't be able to win against you two."
"What?!"
Upon hearing Aotian's words, the He Brothers were taken aback. He Wu exclaimed, "Aotian brother, I saw your competition with Luxiong. Your Soul Power is extremely strong; how could you not have learned alchemy or artifact forging?"
Although Aotian could not produce elixirs or weapons, he was not completely ignorant of the processes involved. Whether it was creating elixirs or forging weapons, the primary force required was Soul Power. With unique alchemical and forging techniques applied afterward, one could successfully create elixirs and weapons.
Aotian's Soul Power was quite robust, which naturally allowed him to forge higher-level Weapon Elixirs. However, now that Aotian claimed he could not perform alchemy or artifact forging, it left the He Brothers somewhat incredulous.
Aotian understood that he had cultivated his Soul Power solely to maximize his strength and had never considered learning alchemy or artifact forging. Thus, it was understandable that he was not proficient in those skills and could not produce elixirs or weapons.
"Aotian has his reasons for not studying alchemy or artifact forging; why don't you two brothers consider changing the conditions?" Seeing Aotian's hesitance, Snow Qincheng immediately spoke up for him.
He Dan and He Wu furrowed their brows, feeling somewhat troubled.
Aotian felt a sense of helplessness in his heart. He knew that the He Brothers were extremely obsessed with alchemy and weapon forging, and trying to force them into submission was undoubtedly a pipe dream.
To truly win their hearts, he would need to surpass them in alchemy and weapon forging skills, which might make them willingly follow him. However, he did not possess the ability to craft pills or weapons. Thus, this path seemed dead. Besides that, he would have to offer something else that could genuinely attract the two brothers to make them follow him.
Wait, something that could attract them?!
Aotian's eyes brightened as if he had recalled something.
He remembered that Yan had mentioned ancient alchemy and weapon forging techniques before, which were extremely rare. Unfortunately, he had not taken note of it due to a lack of time to learn. However, this knowledge would undoubtedly be highly appealing to the He Brothers.
After hesitating for a moment, Aotian said:
"Gentlemen, may I ask if you are interested in ancient alchemy and weapon forging techniques?"
"Boom!"
Aotian's words hit the He Brothers like a bombshell, igniting excitement and even a hint of fanaticism on their faces.
"Aotian, do you have knowledge of ancient alchemy and weapon forging techniques?" He Wu asked, his hands trembling with excitement as he tightly grasped Aotian's shoulders, his gaze fixed intently on him.
He Dan, on the other hand, displayed a different temperament from He Wu. He did not cling to Aotian as tightly but his eyes clearly reflected his eagerness for ancient alchemy techniques.
Although the He Brothers were passionate about alchemy and weapon forging and possessed considerable talent in these areas, what they had learned was merely the most ordinary form of these arts.
Even with the profound background of Xuantian Academy, they did not have access to ancient alchemy and weapon forging techniques, which naturally left the two brothers feeling somewhat disappointed.
Now hearing that Aotian seemed to know about these ancient techniques made them unable to contain their excitement.
"Aotian, if you are willing to share information about ancient alchemy and weapon forging techniques, my brother and I will agree to any conditions you set. Don’t mention joining the Starry Radiance Society, we would even be willing to work like oxen or horses!" He Dan looked at Aotian with fervor as if seeing a massive treasure within him.
Aotian was slightly taken aback. He realized that he had underestimated the allure of ancient alchemy and artifact forging techniques for the He brothers.
However, this was understandable; Aotian was not well-versed in the crafting of pills and weapons, so he naturally did not know the value of ancient alchemy and artifact forging techniques.
It was said that no matter how strong one's Soul Power was, if one lacked advanced alchemy and artifact forging skills, the quality of the crafted pills and weapons would be extremely limited.
Legend had it that ancient alchemy and artifact forging techniques could produce legendary pills and weapons, which naturally attracted countless alchemists and artifact craftsmen.
Fortunately, the He brothers were not malicious individuals; otherwise, they might have entertained thoughts of killing Aotian for his treasures.
"Gentlemen, as long as you join the Starry Radiance Society, I, Aotian, guarantee that you will learn ancient alchemy and artifact forging techniques within two years. How about that?" Aotian said earnestly.
Upon hearing Aotian's words, the excitement on the faces of the He brothers faded somewhat. They then stepped aside, seemingly discussing something. After a while, they returned to Aotian.
"Aotian brother, we can agree to join the Starry Radiance Society, but you must meet three conditions!" He Dan said, staring into Aotian's eyes.
"Go ahead."
"First, two years is too long and too uncertain. You must provide us with ancient alchemy and artifact forging techniques within one year," He Dan stated.
Aotian seemed to be deep in thought. He understood that he currently had no knowledge of ancient alchemy and artifact forging techniques. He needed to enter the Eternal Night Forbidden Zone to learn from his teacher there before he could pass on the knowledge to the He brothers.
However, his teacher had instructed him to enter the Eternal Night Forbidden Zone only after reaching Innate Peak. This meant he had to reach Innate Peak within a year in order to seek out his teacher in the Eternal Night Forbidden Zone. Otherwise, he would surely break his promise.
Reaching Innate Peak from Innate Fivefold within a year was no small feat. However, without pressure, there would be no motivation; if he did not advance under pressure, how could he hope to rescue his mother?
Thinking this over, Aotian's expression changed several times before he gritted his teeth and said:
"Alright! I agree!"
The He Brothers couldn't help but feel a slight joy upon hearing this, and then said:
"The second condition is that the debt we owe Sister Qincheng will be considered settled!"
Debts of gratitude can be quite troublesome. For some stubborn individuals, failing to repay such debts can hinder their cultivation journey. They will constantly think about repaying the favor, which creates a mental burden, and in severe cases, it can even turn into a heart demon.
Therefore, cultivators generally do not easily incur debts of gratitude. Now, the He Brothers naturally wanted to remove the burden from their hearts.
"Not a problem!"
Snow Qincheng agreed on behalf of Aotian without a second thought.
Seeing Snow Qincheng's attitude, Aotian felt warmth in his heart. He owed this girl far too much. Aotian silently vowed that he would never let Snow Qincheng down in the future.
"The last condition is that I want to have a match with you. If you win, you will be the boss of both of us!"
At this moment, He Wu said to Aotian with fiery eyes.
