The Jade Tree Staff is the most powerful weapon he currently possesses, so it's perfectly appropriate to give it as a thank-you gift.
Under Yu Nanfei's unquestionable gaze, Yun Xi no longer declined.
Firstly, she is indeed lacking weapons. To be honest, even at auctions in world-class cities, this legendary weapon is priceless.
If Yun Xi misses this opportunity, it will be very difficult for her to obtain a weapon of this quality again.
Secondly, she did indeed pay a heavy price in this battle.
As friends, it's normal to give and receive. Yu Nanfei noticed her efforts and therefore offered her a thank-you gift. If Yun Xi refused too much, it would seem a bit stingy.
"Nanfei, thank you for your gift. I will cherish it."
Seeing that Yun Xi had finished talking with Yu Nanfei, Eliza, who hadn't left, also spoke to Yun Xi, "Your Highness Yun Xi, would you be interested in joining the Sorcerer Association?"
The Sorcerer Association?
Yun Xi somewhat surprised, not expecting Eliza to extend an invitation to her.
"I know you have inherited the legacy of Her Majesty the Statue of Goddess of Freedom, but before you grow up, it would be a good choice to find a large power to align yourself with."
"I know that Yun Xi's family must be very powerful, but having another large power to protect her will only bring benefits and not harm."
After all, Yun Xi was able to summon such a powerful water god.
"Don't worry, my invitation to join the Sorcerer Association will definitely not restrict your freedom, nor will it impose any ridiculous rules on you. At most, it will only require that if the Sorcerer Association is in trouble when you become the chief god in the future, you can help out to the best of your ability."
"I can also assure you that I will keep your identity hidden, both to outsiders and to insiders."
Concealing one's identity is the most basic form of protection and also the most important promise.
In other words, Eliza was making an early investment.
Moreover, this is a personal investment to establish the Sorcerer Association, and Yun Xi's identity will not be revealed to either outsiders or insiders, which means that only he knows Yun Xi's value.
The contract he mentioned must have been a way to grant Yun Xi the greatest possible freedom, as he held the power of the Star Lord.
"Every Star Lord has three special contracts. I would like to invite you to be my third special contract holder, the Sorcerer Association."
As Eliza said, it certainly wouldn't do any harm to Yun Xi in the present situation, but...
"Eliza, could you briefly tell me about the Sorcerer Association?"
Eliza was surprised. Yun Xi's background was not simple. She should have heard of the Sorcerer Association, right?
But it's true that she can 'invite gods'; could she be from a reclusive family?
"Sure."
"The Sorcerer Association is one of the extraordinary forces on the Godfall Continent. It completely controls twenty regions and has established strongholds in thousands of areas."
"The internal personnel structure is very complex, headed by the president of the Sorcerer Association, with two vice presidents, Seven Star Lords, Thirteen Domain Lords, and hundreds of legendary members..."
"The Sorcerer Association worships many gods, among whom the three most powerful are the Karma Main God, the Primal Fire Main God, and the Exotic Land Main God..."
"Yun Xi, if you join our Sorcerer Association, you may be able to obtain the divine inheritance I mentioned above. However, to be honest, the competition within the Sorcerer Association is also very fierce. If you want to obtain the Divine Inheritance, you will have to rely on yourself to fight for it."
"In addition, the Sorcerer Association also provides basic benefits..."
At the same time, Yun Xi also sent a message to Yu Nanfei, asking him if Eliza was reliable.
[Eliza... actually, I don't know him very well either. I haven't had much contact with him, but I know about the Sorcerer Association. The forces within it are complex and intertwined, but correspondingly, there are many opportunities.]
[If the contract with Eliza is truly as lenient as he claims, then taking it would indeed be incredibly worthwhile.]
[Yun Xi, just as Eliza said, the Sorcerer Association controls many regions, and those regions are all incredibly special, possessing various deities residing there with their own lineages, as well as extraordinary forces and many internal benefits. You would hardly encounter such places while traveling outside.]
[This time, the Goddess of Freedom Inheritance is also due to the Goddess of Freedom's fall and transformation into a ghost. The Goddess of Freedom (the ghost) actively issued a wish-granting mission, leading to a special 'accident', an 'accident' that occurs only once every thousand years.]
[Given Eliza's status as a 'Star Lord,' the Sorcerer Association is extremely prestigious; becoming a specially invited contractor of a Star Lord is virtually impossible.]
[Yun Xi, you only received this opportunity because you are the Main God Inheritor. My advice is to seize it.]
[But you must also be careful; if the contract isn't as lenient as Eliza described, don't sign it. Also, after joining the Sorcerer Association, if anyone tries to tempt you into signing any other contracts, don't sign them either.]
Yu Nanfei's meaning is very clear: if the Goddess of Freedom is a lower-level deity, even if Yun Xi obtains her inheritance, Eliza will not invite her.
It is precisely because the Goddess of Freedom is the 'chief deity' that Yun Xi, as the successor of the 'chief deity', is favored by the other party.
Perhaps, there was also a reason for Eliza's curiosity: he was curious about how Yun Xi was able to defeat him.
Since Yu Nanfei had spoken so cryptically, Yun Xi naturally understood as well.
She had made up her mind.
"Yun Xi, I can stipulate in the contract that as long as I can secure your interests, I will give you a share of any resources you need, at least one-fifth of them. This is my sincerity."
The previous conditions were manageable, but this one, as Eliza has mentioned, seems a bit exaggerated.
Unless something falls from the sky, effort and reward are directly proportional.
Even if Yun Xi obtains the treasure vault, she still has to bear the risk of "getting nothing in the end" and may be wiped out by the "enemy of the extinction" in the future.
At that time, the higher Yun Xi's achievement, the more severe her fall will be.
Heaven falling into hell, this is nothing more than that.
By joining the Sorcerer Association and receiving a certain degree of protection in exchange for Yun Xi's future assistance, it can be considered a fair exchange.
But it seems a bit unreasonable for Eliza to give her all of his personal resources, doesn't it?
Thinking this through, she asked as well.
"Yun Xi Highness Yunxi, if you join the Sorcerer Association as my specially invited contractor, then you will be one of my most important subordinates on the surface. It is only natural to cultivate core subordinates. As your strength increases, it will also subtly improve the status of my Sorcerer Association."
Eliza's gaze fell on Yun Xi, and a barely perceptible glint flashed in his originally empty pupils.
Yun Xi suddenly realized that this was indeed the case. As a contractual party specially invited by Eliza to join the Sorcerer Association, she actually had little connection with the Sorcerer Association itself due to the lenient nature of the contract.
