"Reporting to Patriarch, the person who met with Wang Qi only has Void Refinement cultivation. It is impossible for him to casually produce one and a half million high-grade spirit stones, and even less likely that he possesses any high-level ghost path secret arts or methods for refining powerful ghost path spirit treasures. Unless there is someone else backing him, or he truly is the young heir of some great power," the old man said, bowing to Patriarch Youquan.
"That is not without reason. We must proceed with caution and not let our guard down." Patriarch Youquan asked, "In your view, how should we act?"
The old man said, "This subordinate believes we can make preparations on two fronts. But no matter what, Patriarch must go in person."
"If that man comes alone during the transaction, Patriarch can use thunderous means to seize him, then interrogate him slowly. The transaction location should be set within Blood Radiance City. Given Patriarch's relationship with Blood Radiance City's Law Enforcement Hall, so long as we do not make too great a commotion, I believe the Law Enforcement Hall will grant Patriarch some face."
"If that man does not come alone during the transaction, but has a powerful expert accompanying him, then we must act according to the circumstances. If the other party's strength far surpasses Patriarch's, complete the transaction with him. Perhaps we may seize the opportunity to attach ourselves to him and open up another path for earning spirit stones in the future. If the other party is weaker than Patriarch, yet is also a Body Integration Cultivator, then it would be unwise to act within the city. We must play along with him, feign closeness, and only strike ruthlessly after the transaction is complete and he has left the city."
