Elder He represented the Craftsmen's Sect and stated his conditions. However, he was asking for a thousand Thunder God's Wrath for the first time and five hundred every year.
One had to know that only Elder Gu could create the Thunder God's Wrath. Elder Gu would definitely not leak the formation diagram. Thus, Elder Gu would have to inscribe the formation personally.
What's more, the divine materials needed for the Thunder God's Wrath were even more expensive. One Thunder God's Wrath would cost at least tens of thousands of divine roots. The Craftsmen's Sect asked for a thousand. That was tens of millions of divine roots.
This was also the cost price. Jiang Xinghe would probably not sell it for less than a few hundred million divine roots.
The Craftsmen's Sect wanted five hundred every year in the future. That was equivalent to robbing divine roots.
Jiang Xinghe knew that Elder He was asking for too much. There must be room for negotiation. He quickly frowned and said, "Elder He, you also know that the Thunder God's Wrath formation needs to be inscribed by Shanhe alone. What's more, it costs a lot. You asked for a thousand and five hundred every year. I'm afraid that all the disciples in the Divine Artifact Pavilion will starve to death in a few years. How about two hundred for the first time and a hundred for the next year?"
"Don't make it sound so tragic!"
Elder He smiled and waved his hand. "I don't think the amount should be too low. Shanhe, please work harder. Of course … the sect will not let Shanhe work for nothing.
When I go back, I will request for a batch of divine materials to be sent down. We can also give you some of the divine materials that the Craftsmen's Sect has. How can we let you work for nothing? "
"Uh?"
Jiang Xinghe's face lit up. However, he muttered in his heart. He said he would give divine materials, but he didn't say how much.
What kind of divine materials? If he sent some of them away, the Divine Artifact Pavilion would suffer a huge loss.
He looked happy but continued to bargain. He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Elder He, for understanding us. All the disciples in the Divine Artifact Pavilion will be grateful to Elder He and the Craftsmen's Sect. If you can give us five thousand kilograms of Brown Bloodstone, a thousand Heavenly Yang Crystals … and other divine materials, I think we can send three hundred Thunder God's Wrath to the Craftsmen's Sect every year …"
Jiang Xinghe started to negotiate. Although the Divine Artifact Pavilion was a subsidiary of the Craftsmen's Sect, the Divine Artifact Pavilion could create the Thunder God's Wrath.
It was rare for Jiang Xinghe to have the confidence to challenge the Craftsmen's Sect. How could he back down so easily?
Sometimes, the more you express your attitude, the more the higher-ups value you.
"Hahaha!"
Elder He laughed heartily and continued to negotiate with Jiang Xinghe. He would definitely choose a price that both parties could accept in the end.
…
While Jiang Xinghe and Patriarch He were arguing, Lu Li brought Luo Huang to the backyard.
However … he had never been to this place before and wasn't very familiar with it. Hence, he brought Luo Huang around and didn't know where to go. Hence, he brought Luo Huang to a pavilion by the lake.
"I seem to be more familiar with this place than you are."
Luo Huang followed Lu Li around and came to the pavilion by the lake where she usually sat. She said with dissatisfaction, "Lu Li, I told you to take me out and you brought me here?"
"Sorry!"
Lu Li shrugged. "There is nothing interesting in the Valley of Relics and I am not familiar with the backyard. I am just a regular disciple and I don't even have the right to come here.
Also … you are a grown-up now. Why are you still so playful?
Patriarch He asked me to bring you out because he doesn't want us to disturb their discussion. We can just sit here and go back when they are done. "
Lu Li sat on the side, gazing into the lake. He didn't bring any tea to Luo Huang. He didn't even seem to like talking to her.
He was not like other men. Every time he was with Luo Huang, they would either try to please her, boast about how awesome they were or try to show off their strengths and strengths …
Luo Huang threw him a look and asked with dissatisfaction, "Lu Li, you seem to hate being with me.
Have I offended you? "
"No!"
Lu Li looked at Luo Huang calmly and said, "Lady Huang, don't worry. You are pretty and excellent. No man will hate you.
I am of humble status and I am afraid to be with you. That is why I am a bit reserved and don't dare to say too much. "
"Reserved?"
Luo Huang rolled her eyes, adding a kind of coquettish and playful charm to her.
She didn't see Lu Li being reserved at all, let alone scared. Lu Li didn't take her seriously at all. Clearly, he was just brushing her off …
"Hmm, hmm!"
She snorted coldly and said nothing in a fit of pique. Lu Li glanced at her from the corner of his eyes and looked into the distance. He leaned against the pillar and said nothing more.
He didn't want to have anything to do with Lady Luo's life. Since he had no interest in this beauty, he just wanted to sit here for a while. When the discussion inside was over, he could report back.
Luo Huang was proud and arrogant. Since Lu Li didn't say anything, she wouldn't take the initiative to talk to him. She sat on the side in a fit of pique and looked at the lake in the distance. She didn't even look at Lu Li.
"Phew, phew ~"
After a moment, Luo Huang suddenly heard a strange sound. She listened for a moment and then her eyes widened. She looked to the left.
Sure enough, she saw Lu Li sleeping soundly against the pillar. He was sound asleep and relaxed.
"…"
Luo Huang was speechless. For the first time, she felt a sense of defeat. She began to doubt her own charm.
How could Lu Li fall asleep with such an outstanding beauty sitting next to him?
Lu Li was really tired. He hadn't slept for two hours for the past couple of months. He had been working with Patriarch Gu on the Wrath of the Thunder God. Now that he finally had some free time, he fell asleep as he sat.
No lust, no firmness!
If a man had no lust for a woman, then no matter how beautiful and charming Luo Huang was, she would be no different from a beautiful flower to Lu Li.
Compared to enjoying the beautiful scenery, it would be more comfortable to sleep for a while …
"Bastard ~"
Luo Huang glared at Lu Li. She was about to explode with anger. Patriarch He asked Lu Li to take her here to have some fun. However, Lu Li fell asleep by himself, leaving a beauty like her hanging.
This made Luo Huang feel awkward and aggrieved.
"Hmm, hmm ~"
After a while, Luo Huang became angrier. She stood up. Her hand glowed in a white light. Then, a stream of cold air came out from her hand.
She reached into the lake next to her. A dragon of water whooshed up and flew over her hand. The water in the lake turned into ice water. The dragon of water covered Lu Li's head.
"Splash ~"
Lu Li's head was drenched. The cold water woke him up at once.
He had just woken up. He thought he was being attacked. Out of instinct, he slapped forward. At the same time, he took out the Demon Slayer Weapon. His Interspatial Ring glowed as the Wicked Bead emerged.
"Bang!"
Luo Huang was standing right in front of Lu Li and Lu Li was sitting down. The slap happened to land on Luo Huang's chest, on one of Luo Huang's proud … peaks.
That was not all. Lu Li's palm strike was so powerful that Luo Huang was not prepared at all. Therefore, Luo Huang was smashed away and smashed into the small lake not far away, becoming a phoenix that fell into the water.
"Oh no …"
Lu Li panicked when he saw Luo Huang's shy and murderous look. He mobilized his divine energy and flew away like a ghost.
Of the 36 stratagems, running away was the best. Otherwise, Luo Huang would not let him go.
"Ah, ah, ah ~"
Luo Huang was both angry and ashamed. She screamed, "Lu Li, I will kill you. I will kill you …"
