Wen Shen fell silent after hearing Ye Cangtian's words.
Unless peak forces, or powerful first-tier forces, brought sufficient quasi-Heavenly realm experts.
Otherwise, given the Yin Group's status, they would surely be mocked by these forces.
After all, being able to control the entire relic without enough Heavenly realm experts was a joke in itself.
"If Yan Yu Lou sincerely wants to make a request to the Yin Group, I do have a way to solve this problem."
Just then, Ye Cangtian's voice came.
Hmm?
Wen Shen looked at Ye Cangtian curiously, his eyes darting around.
It seemed Ye Cangtian truly intended to participate in the Peak Gathering, otherwise, he wouldn't have proposed a solution.
Thinking this, Wen Shen spoke, "What method do you have? Feel free to share, perhaps my Yan Yu Lou can help you in some way."
"There is still some time before the opening of the Peak Gathering."
"And our Yin Group does not lack Earthly realm experts. If Yan Yu Lou can provide us with some Dao Comprehension Pills, I believe it won't be difficult to raise some of our people's strength to the quasi-Heavenly realm..."
Listening to the other party's words, Ye Cangtian immediately showed a smile.
This...
Upon hearing this, Wen Shen's brows immediately furrowed.
While Yan Yu Lou was not short of pills like the Dao Comprehension Pill and Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, they were not something to be given away casually.
Moreover, the Yin Group had many people who were supposed to attend the Peak Gathering. He couldn't make decisions regarding so many pills!
Besides, the relationship between Yan Yu Lou and the Yin Group was not very good. If they were to help increase the strength of the Yin Group's personnel, it was uncertain if they would become enemies of Yan Yu Lou in the future.
Thinking of this, Wen Shen looked at Ye Cangtian and said, "Mr. Ye, my Yan Yu Lou is very willing to help you with this matter, but the problem is, I cannot make decisions regarding the pills needed for so many people!
Furthermore, the time required for a round trip would likely cause us to miss the Peak Gathering..."
Wen Shen stated that he was willing to return to Yan Yu Lou to seek instructions to help the Yin Group, but unfortunately, time was insufficient.
Even if the approval of Yan Yu Lou experts was obtained, the Yin Group would be unable to participate in the Peak Gathering, so he expressed his deep regret...
Hearing Wen Shen's words, Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and then said, "You are overthinking this. The Yin Group does not require many pills; ten Dao Comprehension Pills and ten Nine Revolutions Golden Pills will suffice."
Ye Cangtian explained briefly.
Not everyone who was going to the Peak Gathering with the Yin Group needed to reach the quasi-Heavenly realm. It was enough to have a few quasi-Heavenly realm experts to bolster their presence.
Therefore, the number of pills needed was not excessive, and given Wen Shen's position in Yan Yu Lou, he should have the authority to make such a decision.
This...
Upon hearing this, Wen Shen's face immediately showed a look of difficulty.
Ten Dao Comprehension Pills and ten Nine Revolutions Golden Pills, in his opinion, were not many.
Even if they were given to the Yin Group, the Yin Group's strength would not increase significantly, remaining within a controllable range.
But the problem arose: would sponsoring the Yin Group in this way provoke the animosity of other forces?
After all, many forces did not wish to see the Yin Group improve.
Thinking this, Wen Shen said, "The Yin Group has too many enemies. If Yan Yu Lou were to sponsor you, we would likely incur resentment from others, so..."
Before Wen Shen could finish, Ye Cangtian interrupted him and said, "Since Yan Yu Lou is having difficulties, let this matter drop. I can contact other peak forces, and I believe some will be willing to help."
Saying this, Ye Cangtian paused and continued, "Sikong Longyin of Imperial Dragon Villa is in Dragon City. I'll go talk to him first. If all else fails, then the Yin Group will have no choice but to miss the Peak Gathering."
At these words, Wen Shen's expression immediately turned grim.
It was clear that whoever offered assistance to the Yin Group at this moment would gain some favor from them.
Moreover, the Four Seals were still in the hands of the Yin Group. If they had some goodwill, perhaps it could open a convenient door for them.
Thinking of this, Wen Shen quickly looked at Ye Cangtian and said, "Wait, Mr. Ye, we can discuss anything. It's not impossible for me to provide so many pills, but you have to give Yan Yu Lou an explanation, right?"
Hmm?
Ye Cangtian looked at him curiously and asked, "What kind of explanation do you want?"
Upon hearing this, Wen Shen directly held up three fingers and said, "A total of three conditions. As long as the Yin Group can meet them, I guarantee the pills will be provided."
Seeing Ye Cangtian make a gesture to invite him, Wen Shen didn't hesitate and stated his conditions.
Firstly, the pills required to elevate Earthly realm experts to the quasi-Heavenly realm are Dao Comprehension Pills, so why does the Yin Group still need Nine Revolutions Golden Pills?
Hearing this question, Ye Cangtian smiled directly and said, "The Peak Gathering is about exploring unknown territories, which will surely be fraught with danger. Having Nine Revolutions Golden Pills also serves as a form of insurance for the Yin Group personnel."
Saying this, Ye Cangtian paused for a moment and retorted, "Wen Shen, you wouldn't want our Yin Group's newly ascended quasi-Heavenly realm experts to die in the exploration zones, would you?"
"Alright!"
Wen Shen was left speechless upon hearing this. Ye Cangtian simply wanted to keep these newly promoted quasi-Heavenly realm experts within the Yin Group and prevent them from perishing.
This was only natural, as the Yin Group was indeed lacking such strong individuals.
Thinking this, Wen Shen held up his second finger and continued, "It's fine to increase the strength of the Yin Group's personnel, but these individuals must not make any moves against Yan Yu Lou!"
"That is natural. The Yin Group will not betray kindness with enmity."
"I guarantee that as long as Yan Yu Lou does not attack the Yin Group, these individuals will not proactively attack Yan Yu Lou."
Ye Cangtian nodded and readily agreed.
Hearing this, Wen Shen nodded. Such a promise was sufficient.
He looked at the other party and continued, "The last condition. Since we are providing so many pills, we must receive some return. Therefore, I hope the Yin Group will open the Gate of the Heavenly Realm for Yan Yu Lou once!"
This was his true objective. As long as the other party agreed to this condition, not only would he not be punished, but he would also have achieved great merit for Yan Yu Lou, deserving of a reward.
Heh heh.
A faint smile appeared on Ye Cangtian's face as he said, "What nonsense are you talking about? You expect to open the Gate of the Heavenly Realm with just these pills?"
"Ye Cangtian, the pills you mentioned are not a small amount, and they are of great help to the Yin Group. Is that not enough?"
Wen Shen looked at Ye Cangtian, his expression as if to say, you better know when to stop and don't try to demand the moon.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian sneered and said, "If I were to release the news of opening the Gate of the Heavenly Realm, how many forces do you think would come with pills?"
Uh...
Wen Shen was immediately rendered speechless, unable to utter a single word.
He had only focused on the preciousness of these pills before, but he had overlooked the yearning of all forces for the Gate of the Heavenly Realm.
If Ye Cangtian truly promised to open the Gate of the Heavenly Realm, then for the sake of it, most forces would be willing to bankrupt themselves!
At that time, it would not be comparable to ten Dao Comprehension Pills and ten Nine Revolutions Golden Pills.
Thinking of this, Wen Shen looked at the other party and said, "Mr. Ye, without any tangible benefit, it will be difficult for me to report back. What do you think should be done about this?"
Ye Cangtian glanced at Wen Shen and said with a faint smile, "That is your problem. Of course, you also have the right to refuse, but if that's the case, I will directly contact Imperial Dragon Villa."
Damn it, isn't he using Imperial Dragon Villa to force my hand?
If he refused, the Yin Group would form a good relationship with Imperial Dragon Villa, and wouldn't the opportunity be given away to them for nothing?
But if he agreed, without any tangible benefit, it would be difficult to report back!
"Although I cannot give you tangible benefits, I can give you a promise."
"If there is ever a need to deal with the Four Seals in the future, the Yin Group will give Yan Yu Lou an opportunity to participate."
In a dilemma, Ye Cangtian's voice came again.
Hmm?
After hearing this, Wen Shen remained silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Deal."
The Four Seals were ancient treasures with extraordinary functions. If there was truly a need to deal with them, the Yin Group would surely conduct it secretly.
At that time, only allies of the Yin Group would likely be able to participate, and other forces would have little to no chance of obtaining them.
And now, he was exchanging twenty pills for an opportunity for Yan Yu Lou to participate, which he considered a great bargain.
Most importantly, the Yin Group always valued its credibility.
This meant that regardless of whether Yan Yu Lou was an ally or an enemy of the Yin Group, the latter would honor its promise, which also meant that Yan Yu Lou was not restricted from making moves against the Yin Group.
Saying this, to prevent Ye Cangtian from going back on his word, Wen Shen directly took out enough pills and placed them all before Ye Cangtian.
"Deal. With these pills, I believe the Yin Group will be able to participate in the Peak Gathering."
Ye Cangtian gave a sly smile, then collected the pills and left the inn immediately.
