Cooperation

The stars revolved along mysterious and unpredictable trajectories, and in the blink of an eye, they formed Star Eye several feet tall.

Magnificent, mysterious, ethereal, and vast, the power of the stars began to erupt, and from the depths of the Star Eye, a wisp of starlight shimmering with silver light drifted down.

Boom!

The starlight was ethereal, like a feather, yet its fall was incredibly heavy.

Like a falling star, in an instant, a small hill nearly ten feet high was crushed by the starlight, dust and smoke swirling everywhere.

"Divine Ability!"

"No, this is the Divine Ability Prototype! What a magnificent Great White Blade Yang Tianyou! Truly, a hero emerges from among the young!"

Zheng Qiufeng no longer held his previous contempt in check. He stood up, his face grave, and spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Alright, this is enough!" Jin Lianri's eyes gleamed with a strange light. His Divine Ability Prototype, and his Blade Intent was manifesting. In addition, he had an extraordinary foundation and Dual Cultivation of Spell and Body.

With such a solid foundation, as long as one steadily cultivates to the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, the chance of forming a Golden Core Formation Pill is at least 80% with just one Golden Core. In the future, one might even be able to glimpse the path to Nascent Soul.

Hundreds of years ago, the legendary swordsman Chen Qiaosheng, with his Flying Sword traversed thousands of miles, slew a Nascent Spirit Transformation with a single strike, helping the Gold and Silver Alliance overcome a crisis. With such a gem as a precedent, the Gold and Silver Alliance, which loves to invest in the strength of geniuses, doesn't need many more; just another Chen Qiaosheng would be enough to give the Gold and Silver Alliance an extra get-out-of-jail-free card.

Therefore, upon seeing Yang Tianyou's extraordinary talent, Jin Lianri immediately had a plan.

Even Zheng Qiufeng was tempted to try and win him over. However, he quickly dismissed the idea, realizing that given Yang Tianyou's previous attitude towards Jin Lianri, it was too late to try now.

Moreover, Zheng Qiufeng also has his own pride. He is just a Golden Core Seeds. He himself is Golden Core. Although he can be valued to some extent because of his talent, there is no need to go to great lengths for him.

On the other side, Jin Lianri walked slowly towards Yang Tianyou with a smile on his face. When he saw the latter's slightly pale face, a knowing look flashed in his eyes.

Yes, even if this Divine Ability Prototype can be used with difficulty, it still puts immense pressure on a cultivator's Spiritual Power, mind, and even Fleshly Body. After all, it is Golden Core technique, and it is still somewhat difficult for Foundation Establishment Cultivator to control it.

After a moment's hesitation, Jin Lianri took out a bottle of gleaming golden Spirit Pill from his Storage Ring and handed it to Yang Tianyou. He smiled and said, "Tianyou, this is Second-Tier Upper-Grade Wound-Healing Pill, the Golden Wind Jade Dew Pill. It's even more effective for cultivators practicing Metal Attribute Cultivation Method. Please accept it!"

"Golden Wind Jade Dew Pill?" Yang Tianyou's expression changed slightly. He quickly bowed and thanked him, extending both hands to accept the Pills.

However, he did not take the Golden Wind Jade Dew Pill. Instead, he put it into his Storage Ring and took out a Second-Rank Low-Grade Human Origin Pill.

After taking the Pills, Yang Tianyou grinned at Jin Lianri in front of him. The latter smiled and shook his head at his gesture, without saying anything more.

In fact, this was a favor that Jin Lianri gave to Yang Tianyou under the guise of a pretext, in order to get closer to him.

After all, with Yang Tianyou's strength, he could withstand using only the Divine Ability Prototype once, and for such a short time. Using Second-Tier Upper-Grade Wound-Healing Pill would be a complete waste.

Returning to stand behind Old Ancestor Yang Haoyu, Yang Tianyou silently circulated his Spiritual Power to refine the Pills, and his pale face gradually regained its color.

Jin Lianri was in a good mood and, without waiting for Yang Haoyu to speak, he said first, "Young friend Yang, now that the chips are laid out, let's get straight to the point."

Upon hearing this, a hint of joy flashed in Yang Haoyu's eyes. "In that case, I will dare to speak frankly."

After organizing his thoughts, Yang Haoyu stated his purpose, "As you two seniors know, the Three Rivers Sect has suffered heavy losses, and its directly affiliated Foundation Establishment Lineage have also suffered heavy casualties, leaving behind a large amount of unclaimed resources, such as Spirit Fields and Spirit Mines."

At this point, Yang Haoyu stopped and looked directly at Jin Lianri opposite him. The latter frowned slightly. "What? You want me to help you seize these resources?"

"Of course not!" Yang Haoyu shook his head repeatedly. "This junior would never dare to do something so improper. This junior simply wants to discuss a business deal with you, senior!"

Hearing this, Jin Lianri's brows relaxed, and his previously anxious heart settled down. If the Yang Household really wanted him to help seize these unclaimed resources, Jin Lianri would refuse no matter what.

Although the Gold and Silver Alliance is powerful, the Luochuan Sect is by no means weak. Not long ago, the latter's sect leader, Master Beigong, displayed Law Power and killed a Demon Dao Spirit Transformation at the True Person Beigong with his great magic, which added to the prestige of the Luochuan Sect.

Setting up a few Chamber of Commerce in Dragon Valley County to collect Spirit Items is fine. But once you touch immovable fixed resources like Spirit Fields and territories, it's like extending your tentacles into Luochuan Commandery, which could easily cause a lot of conflict.

The Gold and Silver Alliance is always shrewd and kind, and would never do something so unwise as to offend people for no reason.

Between two evils, choose the lesser. If Yang Haoyu really makes such a request, Jin Lianri will have no choice but to refuse the Yang Household. However, this would push back the distance that had just been narrowed.

Fortunately, Yang Haoyu was wise enough to think that doing business was the only option... Jin Lianri didn't hesitate and readily nodded, "Young friend Yang, what do you want to do? Just say the word. My Gold and Silver Alliance may not be good at much else, but we do have some skills in business."

"Senior is too modest. Who in Qin Province doesn't know about the business acumen of the Gold and Silver Alliance?" Yang Haoyu said with a smile, his tone very sincere.

Upon hearing this, Jin Lianri's smile deepened, and even Zheng Qiufeng, who was sitting next to him, showed a hint of joy in his eyes.

Flattery will get you everywhere.

Everyone loves to hear compliments, and flattering others is always one of the best ways to build closer relationships.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Yang Haoyu laid out his thoughts in detail. "My idea is to establish a long-term cooperation with the Gold and Silver Alliance. Currently, only one in ten of the disciples at the bottom of the Three Rivers Sect remain, greatly reducing their ability to collect resources. On the other hand, my Yang Household's strength is well preserved, and we have good relations with Lineage such as the Liu Household of Qianmu Town and the Zhuang Household of Dengzhuang Town. I believe we can help the Three Rivers Sect share some of the pressure!"

"Pressure? It's probably profit! Young friend Yang, you have quite the audacity to dare to challenge Golden Core sect." Jin Lianri's eyes gleamed with a strange light as he glanced at the woman before him, a hint of amazement flashing through his mind.

It must be said that although she is only at the Foundation Establishment and is a woman, her courage, skill, and vision are extraordinary. No wonder she was able to protect her Lineage and survive until now amidst this turbulent Cold Tide.

"This junior would never dare to challenge Golden Core Force like the Three Rivers Sect. I merely wish to snatch some scraps. Does the Yang Household not even deserve a sip of soup?"

Yang Haoyu shook his head and chuckled. Although his words were gentle, the will contained within them was extremely firm and unshakable.

Upon hearing this, Jin Lianri's eyes flickered slightly, and he also had some ideas in mind. It seemed that supporting a force close to the Gold and Silver Alliance in Dragon Valley County would be a good idea. Moreover, Yang Tianyou's talent was indeed extraordinary, and he was already worth investing in.

Thinking of this, Jin Lianri glanced at Zheng Qiufeng, hesitating whether to drag the latter along, when the guy spoke first, "Young friend Yang's business deal is good, my Gold and Silver Alliance agrees!"
