Nian Yi spoke softly. At this, Ye Lin slowly lowered his arm.
He could not see through the Nian Yi before him. Anyone he could not see through either carried some secret treasure or was a true powerhouse.
Clearly, the Nian Yi before him was the latter.
"Senior."
After pondering for a moment, Ye Lin clasped his hands and bowed respectfully to Nian Yi.
A trace of surprise flashed through Nian Yi's eyes. He had not expected Ye Lin to be so well-mannered. It seemed the rumors from the outside world could not be entirely trusted.
Yet seeing Ye Lin's courtesy, his favorable impression of Ye Lin rose by several degrees.
"Benefactor Ye Lin, this is the Twelve-Leaf Treasure Lotus of our Buddhist Sect. It can stabilize the spirit platform and purify the Primordial Spirit. It is a top-grade Boundless Artifact."
"Our Buddha has decided to gift this item to Benefactor Ye Lin. Furthermore, for any actions Benefactor Ye Lin takes from here onward, our Buddhist Sect will offer its full support."
Nian Yi lowered his eyes and smiled at Ye Lin. Then, with a beckoning gesture, a treasure lotus appeared before him. Waves of golden light radiated from it, while twelve lotus leaves continuously revolved atop it.
The instant the Twelve-Leaf Treasure Lotus appeared, Ye Lin immediately felt his heart calm considerably, his Primordial Spirit becoming even clearer.
"Since the Buddhist Sect is so sincere, I would feel embarrassed to refuse."
"Let us turn weapons of war into jade and silk. This time, I agree."
Ye Lin accepted the Twelve-Leaf Treasure Lotus and said with a smile. Nian Yi likewise smiled faintly. Since Ye Lin had accepted it, it meant there would be no trouble. Their Buddhist Sect had successfully removed itself from this great era's turmoil as well.
