"Um …"
The old monk said frankly, "The Northern Desert is a small place. We can find out many things if we want to.
We know something about the Deserted World. Of course, the Deserted World is sealed off by you so we will not force our way in.
We don't care too much about the two races. After all, if we make a scene at the Northern Desert and infuriate Xing Mu, nobody will have a good life. "
Lu Li was relieved to hear this. The scouts of the 12 Royal Families didn't go to the Deserted World, so they didn't know about the Inferno.
It was good that the Inferno was not exposed. Otherwise, the 12 Royal Families would rather offend the Grand Master of the Demon-slaying Hall and take the Inferno.
"Xing Mu?"
Lu Li was unfamiliar with the name. The old monk explained, "The Grand Master of the Demon-slaying Hall."
"Oh, I see!"
Lu Li nodded and asked the old monk, "What do you want to talk about?
Can you represent the Great Buddhist Temple? "
"Of course!"
The old monk nodded. He must have a high status at the Great Buddhist Temple.
That being said, Earth Immortal Realm warriors were at the highest level in the 12 Royal Families. But why didn't the old monk go to the Demon-slaying Hall?
The old monk looked at the pond and said slowly, "Back then, when we attacked the Cyan Phoenix Race and the Mammoth Race, there is no right or wrong. You must know something about the human race and the ancient races.
Everyone wants this land. If we don't rise up and drive out the ancient races, we will be the ones being killed, robbed, and bullied. "
"So … don't worry about who is right or wrong. At least, the Great Buddhist Temple didn't kill any civilians of the two races, not a single one!
The two races must know this. "
The old monk would not lie. Lu Li nodded and motioned the old monk to go on.
The old monk turned around. His cloudy eyes became clear again. He looked at Lu Li and said, "Today, I want to resolve the grudge between the two races and the Great Buddhist Temple because I don't want the Great Buddhist Temple to be your enemy!"
"Why?"
Lu Li frowned. The old monk thought too highly of him.
There were still eight and a half years to go. How could the old monk be so sure that he could survive the attack from the four forces in 10 years?
If he could not hold on, then all the forces he and Lu Ling had would be wiped out.
How could the old monk be so sure that he could rise up and defeat the Great Buddhist Temple in eight and a half years?
"Because of Prajna."
A benevolent smile appeared on the old monk's face. He looked at the small wooden house in the distance and said, "Hannya is a godly fetus of heaven and earth. Since she was young, she has never been close to anyone other than me, yet she is so close to you.
I believe in Hannya, so I believe that little benefactor's future achievements will be limitless. "
"Hannya ~"
Lu Li put on a gentle smile. This girl really was of miraculous birth. But he wondered what kind of miraculous birth she was.
Since the old monk had made it clear, Lu Li didn't want to block all paths. It was always good to have another ally.
Moreover, the Great Buddhist Temple had not slaughtered the civilians of the two clans. It was normal for two forces to kill the warriors of the two clans in a battle. Ye Cha and Meng Zhi probably would not say anything.
While Lu Li was pondering, the old monk said, "Young benefactor, can you make a decision for the two races?
If you can make the decision, as long as we can reconcile, you can set the conditions. "
Lu Li could not make such an offer. Even if the Great Buddhist Temple didn't, Lu Li would feel it would be good to have one less enemy and one more ally.
Without any hesitation, Lu Li said with a smile, "I think the two races will listen to me. As for … the conditions, what do you think is good?"
Lu Li threw the ball to the old monk. He must have a plan.
The old monk only paused for a bit before he said, "The Great Buddhist Temple will never be your enemy and we can maintain business ties with you for a long time.
We can buy all the Mystical Materials you want to sell at the market price.
Whatever you need, the Great Buddhist Temple will sell to you at 20% off. As long as the Great Buddhist Temple has it, we will sell it to you! "
"What …"
Lu Li was moved. He had thought that the Great Buddhist Temple would offer some Mystical Materials to compensate the Cyan Phoenix Race and the Mammoth Race. He didn't expect that the Great Buddhist Temple would make such a generous offer.
Lu Li owned the Inferno now so he could not sell all the Mystical Materials he had. He had to rely on several Central Plains families to sell in small batches secretly.
If the Great Buddhist Temple was willing to buy, Lu Li and Lu Ling could get a large amount of Xuan Crystals.
On the other hand, the Great Buddhist Temple was willing to sell Mystical Materials to Lu Li at a 20% discount. Not only could Lu Li earn a lot of Xuan Crystals, it could also help the forces under Lu Li and Lu Ling's command soar.
Lu Li came back to his senses after a long time. He asked with doubt, "Master, aren't you afraid that you will offend the four forces by doing this?"
The Pavilion of Delicacy used to have business ties with Lu Li. But under pressure from the Samsara Palace, the Pavilion of Delicacy had sealed off all Teleportation Formations.
If the news of the deal between the Great Buddhist Temple and Lu Li was made known, the four forces would be offended. After all, the Pavilion of Delicacy was helping Lu Li openly.
"Ha, ha!"
The old monk smiled. His wrinkled face twitched as he said carelessly, "I can live for another 100 years. As long as I am alive, which of the four forces will dare to invade the Buddha Mountain?"
It was a light sentence, but it carried a lot of weight, giving people a strong sense of confidence and arrogance.
Lu Li looked at the old monk. Out of instinct, he trusted him. How could a man like him say something like this?
"Okay!"
Lu Li stood up, bowed to the old monk and said, "Thank you, master. The Cyan Phoenix Race, the Mammoth Race and the Great Buddhist Temple are cleared now.
I, Lu Li, owe the Great Buddhist Temple a favor. If you need anything in the future, you can send a message to me at any time. "
Lu Li knew very well that the old monk was giving him face by making such a good offer.
Otherwise, the surviving forces of the Mammoth Race and the Cyan Phoenix Race would be nothing in the eyes of the Great Buddhist Temple.
"Rustle, rustle, rustle ~"
From the distance, Prajna walked over with a cup of tea. She handed it to Lu Li and said with a sweet smile, "Brother Lu, this is the treasure that my master has hidden away. Not many people have the chance to drink it."
Lu Li smelled the fragrance from the distance. The fragrance went straight into his nose and was refreshing.
He took a sip and seemed to be intoxicated. After a while, he nodded and said, "This is the best tea in the world. Thank you, master and Prajna."
The old monk waved his hand and said, "Prajna, go and get that Bodhi Fruit. Also, get me a Lamp Grass and Earth Ginseng."
Prajna walked away obediently. The old monk looked at Lu Li and asked, "How long has the poisoned man been frozen?"
"Ah?"
Lu Li suddenly remembered something. It was said that there was an abbot of the Great Buddhist Temple who could cure the Immortal's Perish. It was said that the abbot hadn't seen anyone for 300 years.
Therefore, Lu Li had given up the idea of asking the abbot to cure the poison. Could that abbot be this old monk?
The old monk could tell that Lu Li was confused. He nodded and said, "I have some medical knowledge. I did cure someone of the Immortal's Perish 1000 years ago."
Lu Li was filled with deep veneration. He could put his mind at ease. With the help of this master, Bai Qiuxue could be saved easily. Lu Li said in a hurry, "My wife has been poisoned for more than three years. I was the one who was poisoned. She used the Enchantment to transfer the poison to herself.
Then, we froze her with ice and some secret skills. Before I came, she was fine … "
