Chapter 844: Heavenly Dew Incense Tree (Part 2)

"Besides the ten drops of Heavenly Dew, we could also ask for a million top-grade spirit stones. That should be within their capacity," Sect Leader Qing suggested.

Amalia pondered for a moment, "Top-grade spirit stones should also hold significant value for them. Will they agree to these conditions? Can Hana Yun make that call?"

"She may not have the final say, but there are others in Harmonywood City who do. In this situation, Green Lotus Sect is in the right, and if the Harmonywood City Lord’s Mansion doesn’t offer something to settle this matter, the Green Lotus Sect won’t back down," Sect Leader Qing said with a smile. "However, we may need to leverage Junior Master Uncle’s position at that time."

The higher the status of the individuals involved, the less likely this could be treated as a mere ordinary conflict.

"It doesn’t matter. He has already made his name known, and there’s no need to hide his identity anymore," Amalia replied.

"That’s good. I’ll handle the discussions with them. You two should focus on other matters," Sect Leader Qing hinted, glancing at Sehyun Wang.

Amalia nodded; this issue wasn’t urgent.

With her agreement, Sect Leader Qing didn’t seek Kenny Lin’s opinion any further.

After spending time together, he had already realized that while his Junior Master Uncle might not listen to him, he would definitely heed Amalia’s words. As long as she nodded, there would be no further objections.

"That old fox is clearly hiding something from us," Kenny Lin said, turning around to Amalia as Sect Leader Qing walked away.

"I know, but I can guess what it might be. We didn’t ask, and he doesn’t have to reveal anything now. Once we obtain what we need, he’ll naturally inform us," Amalia said calmly.

Once they secured the Heavenly Dew, regardless of whether Sect Leader Qing knew about Wealth’s existence, he would undoubtedly learn of their plans to head to Silent Echo Valley.

They would need to offer him a portion of the Heavenly Dew.

Sect Leader Qing approached Elder Gu and Hana Yun with a beaming expression.

"Since you can’t provide a Phoenix Feather or a hundred million top-grade spirit stones, what do you think should be done about this situation?"

Elder Gu’s eyes twitched slightly. They had already come to an agreement, yet he still had to be the one to ask.

"We truly can’t provide those items. Why don’t Sect Leader Qing suggest a compromise for compensation?"

"In that case, let’s settle on fifteen drops of Heavenly Dew and two million top-grade spirit stones," Sect Leader Qing said with a cheerful smile, appearing quite agreeable.

"Fifteen drops of Heavenly Dew would equal a million top-grade spirit stones, totaling three million from you, which is less than one-fortieth of one hundred million. Given Harmonywood City’s financial resources, it shouldn’t be too difficult to produce," Sect Leader Qing continued.

Elder Gu understood that this was an illusion; even without considering the Heavenly Dew, two million top-grade spirit stones would amount to a significant loss for Harmonywood City.

In reality, Harmonywood City didn’t possess as many top-grade spirit stones as outsiders believed, since some were reserved for nurturing the Heavenly Dew Incense Tree. If the City Lord returned and learned of this, everyone would suffer the consequences.

"Fifteen drops of Heavenly Dew are impossible. Sect Leader Qing must know that the Heavenly Dew Incense Tree only secretes ten drops every hundred years. We can’t even provide ten drops, let alone fifteen. As for two million top-grade spirit stones, that’s excessive," Elder Gu shook his head. "At most, we can offer five hundred thousand, which is already our limit."

"One million five hundred thousand, and you have no room to bargain. Otherwise, it won’t be me handling this matter," Sect Leader Qing said, looking at the furious Hana Yun with a smirk. "Your young lady has caused quite a mess this time. Even my junior master uncle wouldn’t hesitate to take action without first gathering information."

Elder Gu’s face went pale, his heart racing. This young man actually Sect Leader Qing’s junior master uncle? Could he be the new disciple of Master Lian, who had taken in students months ago?

News of Master Lian accepting disciples had already spread throughout the major sects on Mystic Void Continent, but very few had actually seen his students, which meant few knew what Kenny Lin looked like.

Sect Leader Qing was right; the trouble the young lady had caused this time was very big, and even if the City Lord returned, he might not be able to handle it.

Elder Gu couldn’t help but feel a twinge of regret; he shouldn’t have taken the young lady’s words at face value. He should have checked their identities beforehand, and his expression gradually grew more despondent.

"Sect Leader Qing, this matter is very significant, and I can’t make a decision alone. I need to return and discuss it with others."

"That’s fine, but I can only give you three days. My Junior Master Uncle has a bad temper, and Master Lian is very protective of him, so he won’t tolerate any grievances," Sect Leader Qing replied with a smile.

"Three days it is, then." Although three days was a tight deadline, Elder Gu felt compelled to agree when Master Lian was mentioned.

Hana Yun noticed Elder Gu’s willingness to compromise and couldn’t help but widen her eyes in alarm, sending a worried thought: "Elder Gu, you can’t be seriously considering agreeing to this, right?"

"Miss, this time it’s serious. Can’t you tell? That young man in white robes you’ve been targeting, if I’m not mistaken, he should be a disciple of Master Lian," Elder Gu’s voice was heavy, and he sighed helplessly.

Hana Yun’s expression shifted instantly. A disciple of Master Lian? The number one Sword Cultivator in the Mystic Void Continent, and the powerful sword cultivator for who driving the devis back to the devil battlegrounds a millennium ago?

"All we can do now is delay for the time being. You should start thinking about how to explain this to the City Lord," Elder Gu sighed again.
