True Immortal Zhiyuan's expression changed slightly when he heard the words "Upper Realm slot."
The conditions offered by Star Palace were exceedingly sincere, but that did not mean Red Leaf Ridge could make demands however it pleased.
For example, Star Palace possessed a sect-protecting treasure. If Red Leaf Ridge actually opened its mouth to ask for it, that would be utterly lacking in tact!
—Star Palace also has its lineage. Why not give that to you as well and let our lineage die out?
A slot to enter the Upper Realm was certainly not as important as a lineage or a sect-protecting treasure, but it was nearly as sensitive a matter.
True Immortal Zhiyuan smiled helplessly. "I do not know much about matters concerning the Upper Realm, so I dare not agree on my own."
"However, from what I have roughly heard, there should be no such thing as slots. Whether one may go there is decided by the Upper Realm."
"Then that is meaningless," Qu Jianlei said indifferently. "We have a Tier 4 Spirit Vein in Dongsheng as well."
"But that one is independent! And it is a peak Tier 4 Spirit Vein!" True Immortal Zhiyuan urged him desperately. "There are also countless cultivation methods!"
Everyone in Dongsheng knew how desperately Red Leaf Ridge desired cultivation methods.
Qu Jianlei shook his head. "It is hard to leave one's homeland. We have deep feelings for Dongsheng."
Was that really so? True Immortal Zhiyuan was highly skeptical of those words. He was more inclined to believe that Red Leaf Ridge had not originated locally.
Because these people... were simply far too out of place in Dongsheng, in every respect.
"Ridge Lord Qu, Star Palace imposes no mandatory obligations upon your side. These terms surpass even those of the Thirty-Six Cities!"
