When Li Xiaotian heard the conditions proposed by Bodhisattva Liuli, he showed no reaction. The strong cultivators present from Buddha State gasped, their eyes burning with fervent desire.
The elixirs of the Medicine Buddha Sect were priceless, with a single pill being several times more effective than those from other sects.
Bodhisattva Liuli’s offer of hundreds of elixirs for Li Xiaotian to choose from, if not for Li Xiaotian’s overwhelming strength, would have likely spurred some present to consider robbing him afterward.
However, to everyone’s surprise, Li Xiaotian chuckled, shook his head, and then spoke.
“Bodhisattva, if you genuinely wish to trade, then show your sincerity. While the elixirs of the Medicine Buddha Sect are excellent, for you, they are merely a waste of some herbs and a bit of time to refine. These are not enough!”
Yes, not enough!
Although Li Xiaotian was somewhat tempted, the value of the Medicine Buddha Sect’s elixirs was only significant to the outside world; for Bodhisattva Liuli himself, their value was not that high.
Moreover, Li Xiaotian possessed the Demonic Devouring Technique, allowing him to recover from any severe injury as long as he had sufficient energy. Therefore, the role of elixirs was minimal for him.
Bodhisattva Liuli frowned, glanced at the Blissful Buddha Son beside him, a flicker of annoyance in his eyes.
It seemed that to save the other party, he would have to truly open his purse. Otherwise, Li Xiaotian would not be appeased.
However, he felt no regret. The Medicine Buddha Sect would compensate him manifold for the price he paid to save the Blissful Buddha Son. Therefore, in the end, no matter what he paid today, he would profit.
He looked at Li Xiaotian, wanting to know what the man truly desired. Li Xiaotian appeared to be indifferent to worldly possessions, but since he was willing to trade, it implied that there must be something in Buddha State that he wanted.
A San, standing nearby, opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but realizing that what he could offer was even less valuable than Bodhisattva Liuli’s proposal, he held his tongue.
“Benefactor Li, what is it that you truly desire?”
Bodhisattva Liuli’s voice suddenly echoed in Li Xiaotian’s ears through a telepathic transmission.
“There must be something in Buddha State that you desire, Benefactor Li. State it plainly. While the Blissful Buddha Son holds a noble status, he is not a member of our Medicine Buddha Sect. Therefore, there is a limit to what this seat is willing to exchange. We will not pay too much for him.”
Upon hearing this, Li Xiaotian glanced at Bodhisattva Liuli, smiled, and transmitted back.
“Bodhisattva, stop playing games. Since you want to save the Blissful Buddha Son, you surely intend to incur a favor from the Blissful Buddha Sect and thus achieve your own objective.
“We are both discerning individuals. Let us dispense with the probing. I want a copy of all the cultivation techniques of your Medicine Buddha Sect.”
“What?!! This is unacceptable!!!”
Upon hearing this, Bodhisattva Liuli’s aura erupted violently. A sharp glint flashed in his eyes as he stared intently at Li Xiaotian, his presence radiating potent energy.
The sect’s cultivation techniques were secret, forbidden knowledge. It was not a matter of just one Blissful Buddha Son; even if Li Xiaotian had threatened the lives of all the disciples of the Medicine Buddha Sect, he would never hand them over.
Li Xiaotian’s appetite was too voracious; it was practically pushing the boundaries of decency.
“Li Xiaotian, the cultivation techniques cannot be exchanged. You know that the Blissful Buddha Son alone is nowhere near enough to warrant such a trade!”
At this moment, Bodhisattva Liuli’s expression was impassive, but the violent surge of his aura clearly indicated his anger.
The people around them cautiously observed Bodhisattva Liuli and Li Xiaotian, wondering what the two had discussed to cause such a loss of composure in Bodhisattva Liuli.
“Heh, do not be angry. Either we fight, or you negotiate with me properly. Liuli, you must understand that besides this opportunity, you will never have another chance to make the Blissful Buddha Sect owe you a favor.”
Li Xiaotian sneered. The fact that the other party had not immediately turned hostile indicated that there was room for negotiation.
Although he did not know what Bodhisattva Liuli intended to gain by protecting the Blissful Buddha Son, he was absolutely certain that whatever the Bodhisattva sought was of great importance.
Otherwise, a top-tier overlord like him would not have tolerated his presence for so long.
“This seat wishes to take this opportunity to incur a favor from the Blissful Buddha Sect, but there are limits. Li Xiaotian, some things can be exchanged, but some things cannot even be mentioned! My patience is finite. If you continue to be unreasonable, do not blame this seat for turning hostile!”
Bodhisattva Liuli spoke sternly, his gaze fixed on Li Xiaotian, a trace of doubt flashing in his mind.
Was the other party’s true objective really the cultivation techniques? Or was he merely making an outrageous demand, seeking even more?
“Turn hostile? You can try. While I may not be your match, I am entirely confident that I can kill the Blissful Buddha Son right before your eyes!”
Li Xiaotian smiled. Threatening me? Are you really better at this than I am?
“Li Xiaotian!!!”
Bodhisattva Liuli roared. Although they were merely communicating telepathically, their auras were wildly fluctuating, as if on the verge of battle.
“You are pushing me! Do you realize that if you provoke me, you will gain nothing in the end? You might even be permanently trapped here!”
At this moment, Bodhisattva Liuli harbored murderous intent but was also hesitant. He was not confident that he could protect the Blissful Buddha Son from Li Xiaotian’s attack.
If he were, he would have acted long ago!
Li Xiaotian was correct. There was an item in the Blissful Buddha Sect that was extremely important to him. He wished to use this opportunity to save the Blissful Buddha Son’s life and then exchange it with the Blissful Buddha Sect for that item.
However, if the price was too high, he would rather forgo the exchange. Everything had its limits, and Li Xiaotian had already crossed that line.
“What is it that you truly want? This is the last time this seat will ask you. Do not force this seat to become your enemy.”
Bodhisattva Liuli spoke, his eyes narrowed, his body radiating a subtle glow, ever ready for the next moment.
At this point, Li Xiaotian also retracted his smile. It seemed that this old monk was truly enraged by him.
A top-tier overlord, unable to control his own emotions – his title as Bodhisattva seemed utterly ironic.
“Heh, Bodhisattva, do not be angry. All the cultivation techniques are indeed a bit too much. How about half of them? Or, aside from the primary cultivation techniques of the Medicine Buddha Sect, give me a copy of the less important ones.”
Li Xiaotian transmitted with a slight smile, though his mind remained perfectly calm.
“Impossible!!!”
Bodhisattva Liuli refused without a second thought. Not even a single cultivation technique from the sect could be casually exchanged.
One must consider that the sect had numerous powerful cultivators. If Li Xiaotian were to somehow spread these techniques and allow enemies to discover methods of suppressing the Medicine Buddha Sect’s cultivators, he would have committed a grave error.
“Bodhisattva, are you not giving me any face at all? Are you preparing to turn hostile?”
Li Xiaotian raised an eyebrow, emanating killing intent.
Seeing this, Bodhisattva Liuli’s brow furrowed. Why did Li Xiaotian have to bring up cultivation techniques? How was he supposed to exchange them?
If he had known this would happen, he should have restrained Li Xiaotian the moment he appeared, giving him no opportunity.
Now, it was a mess, leaving him in a difficult predicament. Da Feng Novel Network.
“I can guarantee to you that the cultivation techniques of the Medicine Buddha Sect will never be leaked. Besides, I am merely curious. Perhaps I may not even fancy your Medicine Buddha Sect’s techniques.”
Li Xiaotian continued to speak, his expression one of utter indifference.
