Chapter 491: Hundred Flowers Cave-Heaven, the Xu Household's Prospects, and a Journey to Hundred Flowers "8k, please vote with your monthly tickets!"
"I came to discuss your plan to work with my son to deduce battle formations and develop them into a complete system, Senior."
Xu Chuan calmly looked at Zhang Fan, who sat cross-legged in the seat of honor, without a trace of fear in his eyes.
"To be honest, I was actually against it. I believe that, given two or three hundred years, Mingxian could do it himself.
"He could then promote battle formations and carry them to greater heights.
"He is only a little over a hundred now. There would be no issue whatsoever with time."
"Two or three hundred years is too long. Why not seize every moment and maximize the Xu Household's gains?"
Zhang Fan stroked his beard with a faint smile.
"Foundation Establishment cultivators live for two hundred and forty years, and Golden Core cultivators for seven hundred and forty.
"After two or three hundred years, he would only be in the prime of life by mortal standards.
"Precisely the time to strive."
"So, Fellow Daoist Xu, you refuse?"
"It is too late to refuse now. My son's filial devotion is blind, and he has already disclosed the battle formation path.
"Even on your own, Senior, you would be able to succeed, wouldn't you?"
"Then what is the purpose of your visit?"
"Naturally, the payment isn't enough. You need to pay more." Xu Chuan smiled.
"You certainly are frank. What compensation do you want?"
"What can you offer, Senior?"
Zhang Fan pondered. For a moment, he suddenly found himself unsure what he could promise the Xu Household.
In the past, things would have been different.
He could have traded resources for Nascent Soul formation.
