After thinking for a while, Qinchuan asked the Ninth Elder, "What kind of compensation does the Ninth Elder want from me?"
Qinchuan's idea was simple and plain. Since the Ninth Elder was not satisfied with the compensation he proposed, the Ninth Elder would have to propose one himself.
Hearing Qinchuan's words, the Ninth Elder pondered for a while, then looked at the others and asked, "What do you all think?"
Hearing the Ninth Elder's words, the other Elders all pondered, thinking about how to reach a compensation that would satisfy both sides. Although Qinchuan was only at the early Dongxu Realm, judging from the actual combat strength he had shown, Qinchuan was qualified to talk to them on an equal footing. Moreover, Qinchuan had a powerful assistant, Night Serenity, by his side. The combined strength of the two was not inferior to the major forces stationed in Stansos.
After a moment of communication, the Ninth Elder looked at Qinchuan again and asked, "Qinchuan, since your power comes from Dao Wen, how about you compensate with the power you obtained from Dao Wen?"
Qinchuan frowned slightly and said, "Please tell me, Senior."
"After our discussion, we hope that you can use the Wood and Fire Battle Formations that you have mastered, as well as the Leifa that you used before, as compensation," the Ninth Elder said to Qinchuan, "This is the result of our preliminary discussion, what do you think?"
Qin Chuan couldn't help but fall into silence when he heard the Ninth Elder's words. The reason he hadn't immediately responded to the Ninth Elder wasn't because the Ninth Elder's compensation was excessive, but because the compensation was too simple and too lenient!
The only Wood Battle Formation that Qinchuan mastered was still the World of Wood, while the Fire Battle Formation was the Burning Sky that was fed back to him by the Rune Sword and the Level 5 Battle Formation, Purgatory Fire, that he obtained from the Tushan Clan. As for Leifa Qianjun, it was also fed back to him by the Rune Sword. However, Leifa Qianjun was not a battle formation, but a unique skill that was "tailor-made" for Qinchuan by the Rune Sword. It was definitely not easy for others to learn Leifa Qianjun, at least for those who did not have Thunder Attribute Talent Runes!
Moreover, the World of Wood and Burning Sky could grow in Qinchuan's hands, but in the hands of others, they were just ordinary Level 5 Battle Formations. Using a few Level 5 Battle Formations and Leifa Qianjun's learning conditions to compensate the Tian people, Qinchuan felt that he had made a profit.
However, even if he had made a profit, Qinchuan could not readily agree to the Tian people's demands. He had to pretend to be very embarrassed. After all, the Tian people had already seen the power of Leifa Qianjun. If he readily handed over such a powerful unique skill, it would make the Tian people suspicious.
"Senior, using this condition as compensation is really a bit harsh."
Qinchuan looked at the Ninth Elder with some embarrassment and said, "I have a proposal, but I don't know if I should say it."
Hearing this, the Ninth Elder smiled and said to Qinchuan, "Say it."
In the Ninth Elder's opinion, other conditions could be negotiated, but he had to obtain such a powerful Leifa Battle Formation!
"As far as I know, there are many Dao Runes in the Celestial Cluster. Moreover, they are Dao Runes with repetitive attributes. I want to absorb the power of these Dao Runes with repetitive attributes. For this, I am willing to pay a battle formation of the same attribute as the price."
Qinchuan said to the Ninth Elder very seriously, "Actually, one Dao Rune of each attribute is enough. The others are superfluous, right?"
Hearing Qin Chuan's words, the crowd couldn't help but fall silent. Everyone's gaze towards Qin Chuan was exceptionally strange. Facing the gazes of the crowd, Qin Chuan felt a great pressure in his heart. He also felt extremely embarrassed. He knew that his previous suggestion was a little too much.
"Qinchuan, do you think we will pay the price of dozens of Dao Runes for a mere Level 5 Battle Formation?"
The Ninth Elder took a deep look at Qinchuan and said, "Don't mention this again in the future."
Qinchuan wanted to drop the matter, but at this moment, the runic sword reminded Qinchuan that he could use Level 6 Battle Formations for the transaction!
After receiving the runic sword's suggestion, Qinchuan tried asking, "What if I'm willing to use Level 6 Battle Formations of various attributes?"
Hearing Qinchuan's words, everyone fell silent once more. After a while, the Ninth Elder took a deep breath and asked Qinchuan, "You have Level 6 Battle Formations?
Level 6 Battle Formations of various attributes? "
Qinchuan nodded and said to the Ninth Elder, "I have extraordinary talent in the Dao of Talismans. I can comprehend Dao Runes in a short period of time and comprehend Battle Formations of compatible attributes. However, the price is that the Dao Runes will lose power because of this. It is irreversible."
This was the excuse that Qinchuan had thought of long ago. After all, it was no longer a secret that he could absorb the power of Dao Runes. There was no point in continuing to hide it.
Hearing Qinchuan's explanation, the Ninth Elder couldn't help but be moved. He said, "Is there really such a special ability in this world?"
Not only did the Ninth Elder find it hard to believe, but the others also felt that Qinchuan's words were a bit exaggerated. However, when they thought of the Dao Runes that were losing power, they couldn't refute Qinchuan.
"Actually, my mental strength has been abnormally strong since I was young. The mental strength of an ordinary Talisman Array Master is already the limit at the peak of the Liquid Level. It is very difficult for them to advance to the Core Formation Stage. However, my mental strength has already advanced to the Core Formation Stage when I was in the Spirit Severing Stage."
In order to make his words more convincing, Qinchuan immediately demonstrated the strength of his mental strength to everyone. After everyone came in contact with Qinchuan's mental strength, their expressions became even more complicated. The strength of Qinchuan's mental strength was considered to be at the peak even among the overlords of the Unification Stage. It was comparable to a Level 7 Talisman Array Master!
"You are really a genius."
The Ninth Elder looked deeply at Qinchuan and said, "We can agree to your conditions, but we have another request."
Qinchuan immediately said excitedly, "Please say it."
As long as it could help the Rune Sword absorb more power from the Dao Runes, he would agree to any request made by the Tian people as long as it wasn't too excessive!
"Before I make this request, I want to ask you something. After you become stronger, can you comprehend a higher level battle formation from the Dao runes that are compatible with the attributes?"
The Ninth Elder looked at Qinchuan with a burning gaze. It seemed that this matter was very important.
Hearing the Ninth Elder's words, Qinchuan thought for a moment and asked, "Does the Ninth Elder want to get a Level 7 Space Attribute Battle Array from me?"
The Ninth Elder wasn't surprised that Qinchuan could guess this point. He nodded frankly and said to Qinchuan, "Although the Space Attribute Dao Runes are extremely rare and precious, if it can't provide us with any practical benefits, then we don't need it.
As long as you can do this, then you can also comprehend the Space Attribute Dao Runes. However, you need to provide us with a Level 7 Space Attribute Battle Array after this as a reward! "
