Lingxiao Immortal Clan.

Although the Void Refinement Realm experts from the four major surrounding forces of the Frost Immortal Sect, including Thousand Souls Heavenly Lord, desperately wanted to reject the Frost Immortal Sect Master's proposal,

However, if they do that, the forces behind them will likely face suppression from the Frost Immortal Sect.

This matter is particularly troublesome.

Although their forces appear to be unified, and each of them has at least one or two, or even two or three, Void Refinement cultivators under their command.

In total, there are at least ten Void Refinement cultivators, and their overall strength is much stronger than that of the Frost Immortal Sect.

But no one can guarantee that their backing forces will still stand together when the Frost Immortal Sect is suppressing them.

Therefore, they attached great importance to the proposal of the Frost Sect Master.

"Brother Qianpo, what should we do next?"

"..."

Even the Void Refining experts from the other three major Void Refining forces turned their gazes to Thousand Souls Old Heavenly Lord, the strongest person on their side here, and asked him about that Dao.

"In my opinion, it would be best to agree to their proposal."

"After all, we have seen Ling Pengyun, the newly promoted Void Refinement cultivator of the Frost Immortal Sect, who is rumored to be the one outside. Moreover, according to my observation, his foundation is probably even stronger than that of the extraordinary Ice Profound Heavenly Lord of the Frost Immortal Sect."

"Once such a person grows up, they are not someone that a small force like ours at the Void Refinement stage can easily mess with."

"Moreover, it is backed by the Frost Immortal Sect, so even if we intend to nip it in the bud, we probably can't do it at all."

The Thousand Souls Old Heavenly Lord sighed helplessly.

In addition, he also noticed that the equally talented Ice Profound Heavenly Lord seemed to have reached the peak of the early stage of Void Refinement.

In addition, given his good aptitude, he may have a good chance of reaching the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm.

Moreover, the other Void Refinement cultivators of the Frost Immortal Sect are not weak either.

Under such circumstances, continuing to try to suppress the development of the Frost Immortal Sect as before would be tantamount to courting death.

It would be better to take this opportunity to see if we can find a safe way out by taking advantage of the Frost Immortal Sect's proposal...

Afterwards, Qianpo Laotianjun and the others had a private chat and exchanged messages with the other Void Refinement Realm members of the forces behind them.

Ultimately, all four parties reached a consensus and chose to back down.

'Sigh, I hope we didn't make the wrong choice this time.'

The Thousand Souls Old Heavenly Lord and others who had reached the Void Refinement stage sighed helplessly.

Immediately afterwards, they agreed to the Frost Immortal Sect's intention to expand its spiritual plant and alchemy business to various markets under their control.

However, they also have one condition: the forces behind them must also extend their business expertise to the territory of the Frost Immortal Sect, and the Frost Immortal Sect must not interfere during this period.

As for the fact that they had a bad relationship with the Frost Immortal Sect, this matter had never been accomplished.

'The forces behind Elder Qianpo and the others are quite shrewd.'

Upon hearing this, Ling Pengyun chuckled and couldn't help but look at Qianpo Old Heavenly Lord and the others with newfound respect.

The Frost Immortal Sect is quite skilled in cultivating spiritual plants and refining pills, and has made some achievements in both fields. They can not only stably cultivate some special spiritual plants, but also refine some special pills.

Moreover, in order to support the businesses of its various markets, the Frost Immortal Sect often transferred some of its special spiritual items, along with a large number of ordinary spiritual plants and pills, to these markets.

However, spiritual plants and elixirs are among the few spiritual items that are consumed most frequently in the cultivation world.

As a result, those markets and neighborhoods became extremely bustling.

The business in those markets is probably comparable to the total number of markets under the control of the forces behind Thousand Souls Old Heavenly Lord and others.

This is also one of the main reasons why the Frost Immortal Sect has been able to develop better and better.

In addition, the forces behind Thousand Souls Old Heavenly Lord and others are mostly skilled in crafts such as weapon crafting and formations, and those kinds of things are difficult to craft and are not consumables.

Even with high profits, it's difficult to make a large profit.

Therefore, those forces cannot compare with the Frost Immortal Sect in terms of profit-making. However, things will be different once those forces can establish themselves in the various markets under the Frost Immortal Sect's control.

They could easily take advantage of the huge crowds in those markets to sell high-quality spiritual treasures, formations, and other such items.

However, the Frost Immortal Sect's foundation in those cultivation paths is only average. At that time, it is likely that the Frost Immortal Sect's business in spiritual items in those cultivation paths will be directly suppressed.

Moreover, this is only secondary. After all, the Frost Immortal Sect is unlikely to gain much profit in those paths, so it is not impossible to give it to the forces behind Thousand Souls Old Heavenly Lord and others.

What we really need to pay attention to is that the forces behind Thousand Souls Old Heavenly Lord and others are very likely to take advantage of this opportunity to directly boost the business of their spiritual items.

At that time, they will earn more profits, and their development will be faster.

And this chain reaction is quite significant.

at the same time
"Since you have all agreed to our sect's conditions, then your requests will naturally be easier to discuss."

"However... if you all intend to expand your businesses into our sect's territory, then we will have to retract the profit sharing that our sect previously promised you."

"Therefore, you can only choose one of the two things: profit sharing or expanding your business to the markets under our sect."

After a brief moment of thought, the old fox, the Frost Sect Master, smiled and said...

"We still intend to expand our business into the markets under your esteemed clan's control..."

After hesitating for a long time, the cultivators, including the Thousand Souls Heavenly Lord, spoke.

Although the Frost Immortal Sect promised a lot of dividends, it was even possible to earn them for free.

However, the benefits of this matter are still less than the potential to expand the business to various markets throughout the Frost Immortal Sect.

Moreover, the forces behind Thousand Souls Old Heavenly Lord and others are all willing to take this opportunity to gamble and expand their businesses.

"Alright, since that's the case, then it's settled."

The Frost Sect Master smiled and said.

Subsequently, he and Qianpo Laotianjun and others, each representing their respective forces, made a Heavenly Oath based on this incident and signed a Yuanhun Contract.

Afterwards, everyone dispersed.

"Senior Brother Bing Shuang, is our sect just going to agree to their proposal like this? Isn't this just asking for trouble? If the forces behind Elder Qian Po and the others develop rapidly using the markets under our control in the future, it will be a real problem."

The Ice Lord of the sect asked the Frost Sect Master, puzzled.

Ling Pengyun and Bingxuan Tianjun were also quite curious about this, so they looked at the Frost Elder Sect Master, wanting to get his answer.

"This is simple. Just keep suppressing the forces behind Elder Qianpo and the others, isn't that enough?"

"Don't forget, our sect has not only produced a promising junior brother Bingxuan, but also a junior brother Pengyun."

"Moreover, they are all in dire need of resources, so expanding our sect's current business to make a profit is the top priority."

"And as long as they can grow rapidly through this, what use will it be if the forces behind Elder Qianpo and the others develop well?"

"Furthermore... the inter-realm chaos that occurs once every three thousand years is coming soon. If Pengyun and Junior Brother Bingxuan do not grow up quickly, our sect will be in grave danger."

"..."

The Frost Sect Master spoke with a profound meaning.

"Chaos in the realms?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression immediately changed.

Only then did everyone understand the true intentions of the Frost Sect Master.

"Senior Brother Bing Shuang's vision is truly far-sighted."

Ling Pengyun couldn't help but sigh. (End of Chapter)
