Chapter 296 One third
After both sides temporarily stopped fighting, several leaders of Shudao Mountain asked Shi Chun to come and talk to them.
If for no other reason, it's for the divine fire. For a refiner who has never tasted the divine fire, this knot cannot be easily untied.
Gu Lianni did not beat around the bush and directly asked, "Shichun, give us the two Ice Flames at Shudao Mountain first."
Shi Chun glared, "Didn't you say it was over? Why is it happening again?"
Gu Lianni: "I said give it to us first. I won't take it for nothing. When I find the divine fire later, I will give it back to you first."
Shi Chun was puzzled, "Why go through so much trouble?"
Being able to make this request, she naturally had an excuse ready. Gu Lianni said, "So many people died and were injured in the cooperation with you in Shudaoshan. I can't explain it if I don't see any benefits. Only when we see tangible benefits can the cooperation continue."
Shi Chun was a little embarrassed. "I also have the Si Ding Sect here. They also practice fire-based techniques. If they knew there were two more divine fires, they would rather give them to outsiders than to them. I would also have a hard time explaining it."
Yuan Yao interrupted, "You just said 'if', which means they don't know yet?"
Shi Chun nodded, "Before, I thought I would explain to you when you came, so I didn't tell them that I had kept the two sacred fires for you. I was afraid they would fight over it if they knew. However, when the Iron Forest tried to persuade you, they had already said it, so they naturally heard it."
Yuan Yao: "Anyway, we haven't seen it yet. As long as we cooperate, any explanation is fine."
Shi Chun thought for a moment and asked, "Are you sure you will compensate us first for the sacred fire you find later, and won't regret it?"
Gu Lianni: "I swear on my father's safety."
At first, I felt a psychological burden to make this oath, but after relaxing my tongue twice, it came out so naturally.
Shi Chun was startled and asked, "Are you swearing an oath on your father again?"
After these words were spoken, Yuan Yao and Pang Hou held their breath and quietly observed Gu Lianni's reaction.
Gu Lianni blushed and finally said angrily: "You forced me to do that the first two times..."
Shi Chun was just teasing her to test this woman's character. Seeing that she was about to get angry, he quickly raised his hand to stop her and said, "Okay, okay, okay, I'll do as you say. I trust you. I'll give you the two divine fires first."
This is still a long way to go, Gu Lianni's expression eased slightly.
Yuan Yao quickly changed the subject and asked, "How are you going to divide the divine fire you got with the Four Ding Sect?"
"We will handle this internally, and it will not affect the divine fire that will be distributed to you." Shi Chun put this matter aside and mentioned another matter, "As for the Qianyan Sect, that group of people in blue clothes, I'm afraid they will have to be counted in the distribution of the divine fire."
When they heard someone was coming to share the benefits, their faces immediately darkened again. Gu Lianni said coldly: "There is no such thing in our cooperation agreement."
Shi Chun turned around and called out, "Jinliang, come here."
Wu Jinliang immediately responded and said with a grin, "What's the matter?"
Shi Chun: "Tell them about the process from when you discovered Qianyan Sect near the exit to how we found Qianyan Sect now."
Wu Jinliang was stunned for a moment, and seeing that he was serious, he told the story of how he waited at the exit, how he discovered the place, how he learned the address of this place from Ao Yan Sect, how he rushed to the Iron Forest to inform Shi Chun, and then told the story of how he came here.
Upon hearing that Qianyan Sect was also trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain, Gu Lianni and the other two were filled with surprise and confusion.
Shi Chun then added, "I know a secret of Qianyan Sect. They have undercover agents in some sects. The reason why Aoyan Sect was lured away was because of the undercover agents' leaks. What we originally had to do was very simple. We just had to block the exit, grasp the approximate location, and then find a way to fool Qianyan Sect away. Now because of what you did, I have no choice but to expose myself. In other words, I have to convince Qianyan Sect to give us a share later."
Yuan Yao was suspicious. "According to what you said, you didn't know each other before. If that's the case, how could they listen to you and help you deal with us?"
Shi Chun: "Someone who can get Mingshan Sect into the Divine Fire Domain can naturally provide some other assistance. As for the inside story, even I don't know much about it. We don't need to inquire about the affairs of big shots. I don't think Shudao Mountain needs to know. We just need to divide the Divine Fire."
Gu Lianni said in a deep voice: "If you want to change the agreement and the distribution, you can make it a three-way split, according to the proportion of the number of people in each party. Half of the harvested divine fire will belong to us, and you can share the other half with them."
Yuan Yao: "That's right, that's exactly what it should be."
Pang Hou: "A promise is a promise, how can it be changed so easily!"
Shi Chun said calmly, "There is another sect with a similar situation to Qianyan Sect. I also want us to go behind Qianyan Sect's back and find another one. We can get one-third each, which is not bad. Now your Shudaoshan sect wants to take half. Not to mention whether you can convince Qianyan Sect, I don't think we need to talk to the other sect. They are fine on their own. Why should they give up half for nothing and then divide the remaining half? At least I don't have the ability to convince them."
Wu Jinliang hehe, should you want half of one family, or one third of both families, it should not be difficult to calculate which is more important.
Anyway, Gu Lianni and the other two hesitated, saying that they could agree to take one-third, but they were afraid that Qianyan Sect might not agree, so they asked Shichun to negotiate with Qianyan Sect first, saying that they would wait for Shichun's news, and then returned to their own people. "You slap yourself in the face so quickly." Wu Jinliang, who was watching them leave, chuckled and asked in a low voice: "You knew that Shudao Mountain might find us, but you didn't take precautions to avoid us. Aren't you deliberately handing the benefits to them?"
Shi Chun pondered and said, "You told me before that at the exit, the elders of Shu Daoshan violated the rules and intervened to help Shu Daoshan."
Speaking of this, Wu Jinliang got angry, "That's right, if it weren't for that old man's illegal interference, there wouldn't be so much trouble."
Shi Chun: "Since then, I changed my mind. Jinliang, because of our death of many people in Shudao Mountain and our refusal to cooperate, this hatred has been formed. Once it gets to the ears of that elder, who knows what will happen next. Can we rely on those elders to abide by the rules? You have experienced it yourself.
What if someone makes things difficult for us to get out? What good will it do to get more divine fire? If there are elders who speak up for us, the rules will be there. If there is no one who speaks up, then there will be no rules. The more divine fire we get, the more dangerous it will be.
We have become a team with Shu Daoshan, so if anything goes wrong, we have someone to cover for us, which makes it easier for us to do things without any hesitation."
Wu Jinliang thought about it and was silent when suddenly a figure flew down. Gong Shixi, the leader of Qianyan Sect, could not hold it anymore and finally came over on his own initiative.
Gong Shixi glanced at Wu Jinliang and said, "Brother Chun, is it convenient for us to talk?"
He had heard Shi Chun speak in code before, without revealing the details, so even though he knew Wu Jinliang was Shi Chun's man, he didn't dare to speak carelessly.
Shi Chun: "Don't worry, they are one of us."
Gong Shixi: "Which lineage are you from?"
Shi Chun: "I won't ask you, and you don't ask me either."
Gong Shixi asked in a deep voice: "How do you know my background?"
Shi Chun: "Do you think I will tell you?"
Gong Shixi: "In that case, let's go our separate ways. I think your troubles seem to have been resolved. It's time for you to leave, right?"
He wanted to drive those people away so that he could find the sacred fire here as soon as possible. So far, their Qianyan Sect had only found one sacred fire.
Shi Chun said to Wu Jinliang, "We helped Brother Gong before, but it seems that Brother Gong has forgotten. Go find Xu Anchang to help remind him."
Gong Shixi frowned in confusion, wondering when the other party had ever helped him. Wu Jinliang walked away with a chuckle under his puzzled gaze.
Not long after, Xu Anchang, whom Wu Jinliang had greeted, came with a fellow disciple.
When the two of them arrived in front of Gong Shixi, Xu Anchang confirmed Shi Chun's intention and gave his fellow disciple a look. The fellow disciple immediately said in a serious tone: "Brother, do you think there is a divine fire here?"
Xu Anchang also said in a serious tone: "Who knows, but night is the best time to find the sacred fire, it is easy to find the light."
Fellow disciple: "Brother, there are only a few of us left now. Can we still find the sacred fire?"
Xu Anchang: "Well, let's do our best. We are lucky to escape the pursuit. Those bastards, when we get out of the Divine Fire Region in the future, we will definitely avenge our master."
Fellow disciple: "I heard from the ten elders guarding the exit that those bastards seem to have found seven or eight sacred flames."
When the two were halfway through their mindless conversation, Gong Shixi's face changed drastically, and by the time they finished speaking, his face was already as dark as liver.
He stared at Shi Chun's face for a long time with a sinister look before he slowly said, "I've heard of your reputation as the number one in the Sky Rain Meteor Conference for a long time. Seeing you today, I find you're indeed extraordinary. Brother Chun, now that things have come to this, let's not beat around the bush. Tell me, what exactly do you want to do?"
Shi Chun: "I used this trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain on the top of the Summer Path Mountain before, but it failed. Do you know how it failed?"
Gong Shixi said with a sinister look: "I don't have time to play guessing games with you."
Shi Chun: "Because the ten elders at the exit had already appreciated it, I thought they would abide by the rules. But when I got to the top of Shudao Mountain, the elders of Shudao Mountain directly exposed it, so Shudao Mountain and I ended up like this.
In other words, if someone tries to sabotage, the trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain will not work at all.
It would be different if Shu Daoshan intervened to help. If everyone was united, there would be no need to worry about the exit. Even if the distance was far and it was inconvenient to go back and forth to the exit, the people who were trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain could just hide behind Shu Daoshan's group, and the effect would be the same. If there was anything that offended people, Shu Daoshan's people could just step in and deal with it.
It was me who came up with the idea of luring the tiger away from the mountain. Of course, I will continue to contribute. With more people, we can find the sacred fire more quickly.
Anyway, the current result is the result of the joint efforts of the three parties, and the harvest will naturally be shared by the three parties. This is what Shu Daoshan meant, and neither you nor I can refuse. Of course, you can also give up using this method now. "
