fully, and then nodded: "It seems you are quite suitable for the Longevity Dao. In such a short time, you have already successfully entered the Divine Realm."It's a shame that the Path of Longevity is...Seeing Shen Changqing's silence, Shangguan Xinghe did not urge him.

In his view.

This time, the conditions I offered were extremely generous, completely different from the last recruitment.

The last time he was recruited, Shangguan Xinghe's offer didn't include the Divine Emperor's inheritance or free materials. He only offered a limited amount of materials, that was all.

After all, even an ordinary Third Rank Runemaster is, while important, not someone the Shangguan Family would expend too much for.

But things are different now.

Given Shen Changqing's manifestation of talisman cultivation, the other party breaking through to a three-tier superior talisman master is only a matter of time.

If cultivated with heart, there is a chance, perhaps, to break through to the ranks of the Fourth-Order Rune Dao Master.

Once Shen Changqing breaks through to the fourth rank, it will be completely different.

The Threefold Divine Lord.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!

Fourth-Order Divine Emperor.

This is a watershed moment.

If Shen Changqing could truly break through the level of a fourth-rank Fu Dao master, then the Shangguan family's return to Dashouzhou would only be a matter of time.

Let's take a step back.

>

Even if Shen Changqing stopped at the third-rank upper-grade talisman master, he would still be equally important to the Shangguan family.

Moreover, Shen Changqing's performance in his previous battle against Bei Jue was also not weak. His cultivation level is conservatively estimated to be at the fifth or even sixth level of the Divine Sovereign realm.

In such a situation.

Of course, Shen Changqing is someone the Shangguan family should strongly try to recruit.

Shangguan Xinghe had already sent a secret message to his family, truthfully reporting everything that had happened. The reply from the Shangguan family was that no matter what the cost, they must win Shen Changqing over.

Therefore.

Only Shangguan Xinghe would drop such a bombshell.

Normally.

>

Under such conditions, no cultivator would refuse.

>

But unfortunately.

Shen Changqing ultimately wasn't an ordinary wandering cultivator, nor did he have any intention of joining the Shangguan clan and being bound by them.

Therefore.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!

He shook his head slightly, and in Shangguan Xinghe's stunned gaze, directly refused the other party's proposal.

"Senior Shangguan's kindness, this seat has understood. Unfortunately, this seat is used to being free and unrestrained, and has no intention of joining other factions. I also dislike being bound."

If the Shangguan family wants to cooperate with Honglingfang Market, then this seat is in agreement.

"But if we were to include the Shangguan family, then Elder Shangguan would still be disappointed!"

A simple and clear refusal caused Shangguan Xinghe's eyebrows to furrow.

He really couldn't understand what reason Shen Changqing had to refuse such a thing.

After all.

The Shangguan family came this time with great sincerity.

At the mere thought of this.

Shangguan Xinghe took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "If Hongling Daoist is not satisfied with the conditions offered by the Shangguan family, then Daoist friend can feel free to speak up about any requirements."

But whenever the Shangguan family is able to fulfill something, they wouldn't hesitate at all.

"No, this deity has made up his mind. Let's not bring this up again."

Shen Changqing flatly refused.

Sheng Xinghe opened her mouth, but still didn't continue.

After all, since things have come to this, there's no need to say more.

Anything can be done once, twice but not three times.

As the former top power in Dahuangzhou, even though the Shangguan family has fallen from its former glory, it still values face.

Although Shangguan Xinghe had been rejected many times by a monk, he still couldn't give up recruiting him.

Moreover.

Shen Changqing's attitude was resolute, and he completely did not agree with the Shangguan family's idea.

If the other party showed even the slightest interest, Shang Xinghe would go to any lengths, even swallowing his pride, to recruit them.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Face cannot be eaten as food.

If you could really recruit a top-tier expert, would face matter

Then.

Shàngguān Xīnghé smiled wryly and said, “Honglíng Daoist friend has already said so much, if I continue to insist, it would be inappropriate.”

But earlier, Daoist friend mentioned the possibility of cooperating with the Shangguan clan. I wonder how such a cooperation would work

Recruitment failed.

Shangguan Xinghe could only find another way to get closer to the other party.

Shen Changqing chuckled lightly: "Elder Shangguan's visit this time to recruit me is nothing more than because he values my ability to draw talismans."

After all, this old man is just a minor cultivator. It shouldn't be worth the effort for the Shangguan family to expend such resources to recruit me.

So, in terms of cooperation, naturally, talismans would be the main focus.

That said.

Shen Changqing paused for a moment, then continued, "This seat can provide the Shangguan family with corresponding talismans, but I wonder what the Shangguan family can give this seat that would satisfy me"

As soon as those words were uttered.

Shangguan Xinghe's face immediately became solemn, and his demeanor became much more serious.

He paused for a moment, then said.

"The Shangguan family is indeed lacking talismans. If Hongling Daoist friend is willing to cooperate with the Shangguan family, then the Shangguan family can purchase all of Daoist friend's talismans at a price 30% higher than market value."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

“A 30% premium over market price... This is a good price, but unfortunately, the conditions are not quite up to par.”

Shen Changqing shook his head. Upon hearing this, Shangguan Xinghe frowned again.

“Although the price of talismans at this auction is indeed high, Hongling Daoist should also understand that talisman prices fluctuate. Once there are too many, it will inevitably depress market prices.”

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

With a 30% premium, my Shangguan family has already shown the utmost sincerity.

"If Daoist Hongling is not satisfied with this, you may also state a price. I will discuss it with my family and strive to reach a mutually agreeable condition for both parties."

Shàngguān Xīnghé said.

Negotiations, it's all about give and take.

Now that the Shangguan family offered a 30% premium, Shen Changqing's refusal was within Shangguan Xinghe's expectations.

> “When calamity strikes, any combat resources are particularly scarce. Things like talismans can be considered strategic-level assets.”

As the war between the Dark Camp and the Nether Camp intensifies, talisman prices naturally soar…

"Hongling Daoist friend, I'm afraid you've misunderstood!"

Before Shen Changqing could finish speaking, Shangguan Xinghe interrupted.

The premium I'm offering is a 30% increase based on price fluctuations, but there's also a minimum limit, which is the current market price plus a 30% premium. This is the lowest price.

Even if the price of talismans drops below the current minimum in the future, the Shangguan family will still purchase them at the current price.

If talisman prices rise someday, the Shangguan family will purchase them at three times the market price.

Shen Changqing nodded: "Elder Shangguan's words, this seat naturally understands. However, this seat does not need the Shangguan family to offer a 30% premium for acquisition, just purchase at market price."

When she heard this, Shangguan Xinghe's face not only lacked any joy, but her brows furrowed even tighter.

There's no reason to cut your own price during a negotiation.

Chen Changqing's words clearly indicated a larger purpose waiting for him.

As expected.

When Shangguan Xinghe's thoughts settled, Shen Changqing spoke again.

"All of the talismans I have drawn can be sold to the Shangguan family at market price, but I have another condition."

As long as the Shangguan family can do it, then our cooperation can be successful.

What conditions

"This seat needs the transmission of a Fourth Rank Fu Dao master!"

Here, Shen Changqing added another sentence.

And it must be a complete lineage of the Fourth-Rank Fudao Grandmaster!

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Fourth-generation Transmission of the Daoist School!

Shangguan Xinghe's expression changed.

He knew that Shen Changqing must have a purpose behind his actions, but he didn't expect the other party's purpose to be this.

Fourth-order talisman master lineage.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

This is more precious than the ordinary Divine Emperor inheritance.

Shangguan Xinghe took a deep breath and said, "This matter is of great importance. I need to report back to the family before I can give you an answer."

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

"No problem."

Shen Changqing smiled slightly.

The lineage of the Fourth Rank Symbol Dao Master isn't something ordinary. If Shangguan Xinghe agreed readily, he would have to suspect that the other party had ulterior motives.

It's only natural to think things over now.

To put it simply.

Before, Shangguan Xinghe's conditions involved the divine emperor's inheritance. That was based on the premise of him joining the Shangguan family.

But now that I haven't joined the Shangguan family, they want to take out such a legacy, of course, I have to think about it carefully.

>

Upon seeing this, Shangguan Xinghe did not hide anything from Shen Changqing. He took out a communication jade talisman and directly sent the message back to his family.

Then.

That is simply waiting.

Both of them remained silent, waiting patiently for the result from the Shangguan family.

Time passed by minute by minute. Shen Changqing remained composed, while Shangguan Xinghe, despite his outwardly calm demeanor, felt a growing unease within him.

After all, Shen Changqing put forth such conditions. How the family considered it, he had no way of knowing.

This is the end of a paragraph.

A moment later.

>

The Communication Jade Talisman vibrates.

Shàngguān Xīnghé first of all read the information.

Then.

A look of relief appeared on his face.

Seeing the other party's expression like this, Shen Changqing understood that the matter was settled.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

“The family replied, Daoist Hongling’s request has been agreed to by the Shangguan Family. However, the inheritance of a fourth-rank talisman master is not something ordinary, even our Shangguan Family has never possessed it.

However, the family promises that within three months at most, the Shangguan clan will find this kind of inheritance for the Daoist friend.

Shangguan Xinghe's words made Shen Changqing nod slightly.

Three months is not a long time, this seat has no problem, but the cooperation between Honglingfang Market and Shangguan's family also needs to wait until this seat gets the inheritance before it can be carried out.

Three months is nothing at all for a cultivator.

Don't say three months, even if it were thirty years, Shen Changqing could wait completely.

If he didn't start with the Shangguan family, there was no other way for him to obtain the inheritance of a fourth-rank Fu Dao Grandmaster.

But.

Even the Shangguan family didn't give Shen Changqing too much hope.

But right now, Shangguan Xinghe's answer made Shen Changqing realize that although this arrogant soul state family had fallen, its foundation was still not to be underestimated.

>On the other side.

Shangguan Xinghe also had no objection: "Okay, within three months, the inheritance of a level four talisman master from our side will be passed on to you, and then both parties can cooperate."

>

Before this, I hope fellow Daoist will cease all contact with other factions. In the future, all talismans shall be sold exclusively to my Shangguan Family.

"Sure!"

Shen Changqing also readily agreed.

Since the Shangguan family was agreeable, he had no reason not to be.

>

Thus far.

Both parties have reached a preliminary agreement for the transaction.

Even on Shangguan Xinghe's face, a satisfied smile finally appeared.
