Once Xiao Yu saw Han Li relax, he inwardly heaved a great sigh of relief. Now he felt confident about what came next.
"Hehe, Brother Han, why don't we sit down and continue?" Xiao Yu said with a chuckle.
"No need. Say what you have to say. I'll listen from here!" Han Li replied icily.
Xiao Yu paid his attitude no mind and continued, "Since Brother Han has chosen to reveal his identity, the deal we mentioned earlier is settled. I'll give you the formation-setting artifacts and find an opportunity to introduce you to the formation master, while you give me the thousand-year-old spirit medicine."
As he spoke, Xiao Yu put away the box of spirit medicine on the table, then took out the set of Five Elements Reversal Formation Array Deployment Tools he had bought several months earlier and tossed them to Han Li.
Han Li accepted them without ceremony and said, "Hmph, I hope you keep your word and introduce me when I need it!"
At this point, Xiao Yu finally revealed his ultimate purpose.
"Next, I'd like to discuss another deal with Brother Han. Help me retrieve the other Golden Book Page from your master, and I'll give you the later cultivation methods of the Azure Essence Sword Art. How does that sound?"
Han Li was not won over. Instead, he asked:
"Why should I help you? This sword art isn't necessarily all that good. On the contrary, it has plenty of flaws. Why would I offend a Core Formation cultivator over a useless cultivation method?"
"Hehe, although cultivating the fourth, fifth, and sixth layers of this sword art causes you to lose some magic power, once you reach late Foundation Establishment and cultivate the sixth layer, you'll have a third more magic power than other people.
