Chapter 146 – Sold
”However, although this Foundation Establishment Pill has not been seen with his own eyes, its value and importance is still clear to Han Li! Think about it, at the Heavenly Mist Terrace Immortal Ascension Conference, there were nearly a thousand Immortal cultivators fighting to the death in the ring, for what? Wasn’t it mostly because of the lure of this Foundation Establishment Pill! And this Uncle Ye even intends to trade it away with some spirit stones and magic artifacts, does he really think he’s a brat who just left the mountain?” Han Li secretly thought with a sneer, but his face still resumed its respectful expression, as if he was listening carefully to what the other party was saying.
The old man surnamed Ye was satisfied with Han Li’s performance, after all, this future master nephew didn’t balk at the idea of exchanging the Foundation Establishment Pill as soon as he heard it, so it seemed that there was really a lot to be done.
From the start, he hadn’t intended to really take the Foundation Establishment Dan with what he had just said. Because as long as a person was not stupid or foolish, no one would exchange such a precious thing so cheaply. His previous words were just throwing stones!
But now looking at the other party’s attitude, it was really like it wasn’t non-negotiable, which made his heart blossom!
As long as the other party was willing to exchange, the old man was absolutely confident that he could satisfy the other party’s demands and exchange this Foundation Establishment Dan. Thinking of this, the smile on the old man surnamed Ye’s face grew a bit thicker, and he felt that Han Li’s appearance also seemed much more pleasant than just a moment ago!
”Senior nephew Han, I’m sure you know your spiritual root attributes as well! To be honest, with my nephew’s qualifications, even if I take the Foundation Establishment Pill, the hope of succeeding in building a foundation is still very slim! That foundation pills at most on the nephew to refine the use of mana, the basic skills to rise two or three layers only! If that’s the case, this Foundation Establishment Pill is a waste! For the nephew, it would be better to exchange this object for some more practical benefits, more cost-effective, if it is …… “The old man began to spout frequently induced Han Li.
On the surface, Han Li seemed to be listening attentively to this Uncle Ye’s lengthy speech, but in his heart, he had already begun to analyze and ponder, constantly calculating the stakes.
To be honest, he was also very clear that he was really like what the other party had said, after taking such a small Foundation Establishment Dan, the chances of successfully establishing the Foundation were indeed very slim! But letting Han Li just hand over the Foundation Establishment Dan like this, Han Li was still very unwilling. After all, if the chances are low, isn’t there still a slight possibility of success in building the foundation?
However, if the Foundation Establishment Dan is not allowed to give to this Ye Shi Shu in front of him, then in the future his own days in the Yellow Maple Valley will certainly not be good, nine times out of ten, he will have a grudge against this person for no reason, and look at the other party’s appearance as if there is still so much real power within the Yellow Maple Valley, in which case the situation will be even worse.
”Uncle Ye, can I ask who this Foundation Establishment Dan is for? I’m sure that senior uncle won’t be able to use this item!” Han Li thought about it for half a day, but still felt that he should probe the other party first.
Although the old man was interrupted by Han Li, his face did not reveal an unpleasant look. Hearing Han Li ask this question, after hesitating for a moment, he still opened his mouth and told Han Li, “Since Senior Nephew Han asked, I have nothing to hide. This Foundation Establishment Dan is for Mister Ye’s nephew’s grandson to beg for, I hope that Master Nephew can fulfill one or two?”
Upon hearing this, Han Li smiled bitterly in his heart and couldn’t help but think, “Nephew and grandson, that’s considered a closer relationship! And can let this spend so much effort, not hesitate to bow down to their own late generation in exchange for the Foundation Establishment Dan, that must also be extremely favored one! It seemed that if he really didn’t exchange it, he would 100% anger this old man, and he wouldn’t want to stay in the Yellow Maple Valley any longer. Only to bear the pain to agree with each other! As for the matter of building one’s own foundation, one can only think of another way later, one still has that mysterious vial, as long as one has the recipe and time, what kind of elixir would not be matched?”
After Han Li thought clearly about the pros and cons of this, his mind was made up, but the knife that should make the other party bleed profusely, still had to be cut down ruthlessly. Therefore, his face made a difficult expression, a look of sadness.
”Senior uncle, it’s not that senior is disrespectful to elders, this Foundation Establishment Dan is also incredibly important to senior nephew! Even if junior’s qualifications are a little bit worse, isn’t there still that glimmer of hope? But if one were to give up on this foundation building opportunity, one’s life would truly have no connection to the Great Dao!”
The old man couldn’t help but snort in his heart when he heard Han Li’s words! Secretly, he thought, “Even with a qualification like yours, you want to consider the Great Dao, you really don’t know what you’re doing.”
On the surface, however, the old man continued to persuade Han Li from all angles and made many empty promises, continuing to apply pressure to shake Han Li’s resolve and make him agree to exchange the Foundation Establishment Dan.
Han Li sneered a few times in his heart after hearing these empty words. However, his mouth spoke increasingly weak words, causing the old man to become even more energized and continue to offer higher and higher prices.
”Senior nephew! If you are willing to let out the Foundation Establishment Dan, the various chores that disciples in the valley must do, I, senior uncle, can let you pick and choose as you please!” The old man saw that Han Li was already at a point where he seemed to agree without agreeing, and finally used his killer weapon.
”Miscellaneous chores?” Han Li was truly frozen this time.
”Yes. You should know that our Yellow Maple Valley’s low-level disciples must complete certain deliveries every month. For example: going to a few mining sites to supervise miners digging, working as a deacon disciple in the workshops opened by our sect, taking care of the spirit birds and beasts in the valley, as well as planting some spirit root exotic medicines, and other miscellaneous jobs. Then depending on the specifics of the work completed, the door will be issued monthly some low-grade spirit stones to these disciples, as a reward. As for me, I’m the steward of the valley who is specifically responsible for assigning this kind of work. So if senior nephew prefers any type of work, senior uncle me is just a word away.” The old man surnamed Ye said here, puffing out his chest, and really looked like he had a bit of power in his hands.
Han Li, on the other hand, was somewhat speechless upon hearing this! It seemed that no matter where one was, there would be guys who used their power for personal gain, even within a great Immortal cultivation sect like the Yellow Maple Valley, they were not exempt.
However, when the other party had just mentioned the work of planting exotic medicines, it had made Han Li’s heart flutter, feeling that this work was simply tailor-made for himself. Moreover, the other party had already promised a lot of benefits, if he still continued to delay, I’m afraid that it would really give the other party a feeling of being too greedy, so it was better to take it for what it was worth!
Thinking of this, Han Li pretended to look like he was finally impressed, and said to the old man in a very condescending manner, “Since Uncle Ye has said so, then it would seem too disrespectful to Uncle Ye for the latecomer to not agree, as long as Uncle Ye can really honor the conditions he just stated, then this Foundation Establishment Dan of my nephew, let it be given to your nephew’s grandson, and I hope that your nephew’s grandson will be able to succeed in building his foundation! ”
When the old man heard this, he was overjoyed and said in a loud voice: “Master nephew, don’t worry, what uncle said is absolutely sound, but when you see the Sect Leader in a while, those things that were traded on the surface can be told to other people, but secretly I promised some things, or don’t mention the good!”
Hearing this, Han Li smiled knowingly and very sensibly agreed, “Please don’t worry about this point, senior, I know in my heart that I won’t do such a stupid thing!”
Hearing this, the old man’s brows widened into a smile, very satisfied with Han Li’s good behavior.
