Chapter 329: Chapter 190: As Long as They Dare to Practice, I’ll Give It to Them for Free_2

"Heh, if there’s nothing to discuss, let’s not discuss it. If I gave it to you, Elder Chi Yan would then come to me asking for the 72 Transformations, right?" Yun Yu sneered and then continued, "Now, either leave quickly and arrange someone else for the talks, or prepare for a fight!"

At this point, if he agreed, he would be led by the nose by the other party. He had to be firm.

He was afraid of a fight breaking out, and truthfully, so was the other side.

If the three major sects of the Xuanji Realm really went to war, it would be bad for everyone.

Gu Shanhai was listening to their negotiation and was also contemplating what he should ask for.

After all, he was the one who had developed the item; he couldn’t possibly not even get a sip of the soup.

"It’s fine to give it to them, as long as they dare to use it..." Gu Shanhai muttered quietly to himself.

Yun Yu looked at Gu Shanhai somewhat strangely. Why are you dragging your feet?

"Sect Leader, I developed these 36 Transformations and 72 Transformations by combining the cultivation techniques of our Chengyun Sect with our disciples. Other sects might not be compatible, and using it could not only fail to help them evade disasters and tribulations but might also lead to unpredictable accidents, such as not being able to revert from a transformation or partial restoration issues."

"If they dare to use it, then let them use it."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of Chi Yan from the Juxia Sect and Tian Xun from the Feather Transformation Sect both turned green. Did this mean only your Chengyun Sect could use it???

Yun Yu heard this and chuckled, "Why didn’t you say so earlier?"

"Sect Leader, you didn’t ask, and besides, even if I wanted to research the Evading Disaster Avoiding Tribulation Method of the Juxia Sect and the Feather Transformation Sect, I couldn’t do so. They wouldn’t show me their inheritance, nor would they allow their disciples and elders to assist me in my research." Gu Shanhai spread his hands innocently.

"Cough, Elders Chi Yan and Tian Xun, are you still interested now? We can talk about it now if you want, but I’m not responsible for the consequences," Yun Yu said with schadenfreude.

And Gu Shanhai gestured on the side, indicating not to give them the current version, but to give them the initial 1.0 test version and let them dig their own graves.

Yun Yu understood this as well; he didn’t need Gu Shanhai to remind him since he knew how many versions of these two methods to avoid disasters and tribulations there were and how ruthless they could be.

Gu Shanhai’s methods weren’t comprehended but painstakingly explored and tested bit by bit.

At this moment, the Juxia Sect and the Feather Transformation Sect were also conflicted, believing that just obtaining it meant they could use it. They had not expected a personalized version, nor had they anticipated that Chengyun Sect would have the audacity to open all its inheritance to Gu Shanhai, a mere cultivator at the Qi Refinement Realm, and even arrange for elders and hall masters to cooperate.

Chi Yan and Tian Xun were also helplessly aware that taking it might not only lack the desired efficacy but could even backfire on them. This was even less useful than chicken ribs.

Obtaining a suitable version for them wasn’t an issue, but the price was to open their inheritance to Gu Shanhai, which was the biggest problem.

The situation of the Juxia Sect and Feather Transformation Sect differed from that of the Chengyun Sect. The Chengyun Sect had a purely mentor-disciple lineage and was known for its protectionism, making its internal environment much better than the other two sects.

While the environments of the other two sects were also good, they were not composed solely of mentor-disciple relationships but were more like corporations or clan structures, with more intense competition.

"We’ll take it; why wouldn’t we? It’s just that, by doing so, the value of these two methods takes a hit," said Chi Yan through gritted teeth.

Even if it couldn’t be used, they had to purchase a copy to take back, just in case.

The two were also conflicted internally, given their sects’ situations. Even if they could snatch Gu Shanhai away, they wouldn’t be able to utilize him to his full potential.

They simply didn’t have the audacity of the Chengyun Sect to give Gu Shanhai a green light for whatever he did, as many things required a trade-off of interests.

"That’s not my Chengyun Sect’s problem. It’s you who want to buy, not us who want to sell. The price will be as it should be," spoke Yun Yu, now holding the advantage.

Of course, Yun Yu wasn’t foolish either. By this time, the Chengyun Sect had been notified, and preparations were underway to send support.

So he was simply stalling for time.

Both Chi Yan and Tian Xun probably realized this too, but at the moment, they were in a standoff. Fighting was definitely not an option, but retreating was also embarrassing.

Such a grand display, and coming out empty-handed would be absolutely embarrassing.

"Is Daoist Yun Yu really so inflexible? Unable to take a single step back?" Tian Xun followed up.

"Heh, of course we can step back, but step back here? Wouldn’t that make our Chengyun Sect lose face?" Yun Yu implied.

Tian Xun was offering everyone a way out. As long as they followed it, the Juxia Sect and Feather Transformation Sect could leave, and arrangements could be made for negotiations later. Meanwhile, Yun Yu would give them a better deal when the time came.

Yun Yu was actually quite annoyed. You intercept them and still expect him to save your face?

Unfortunately, he had no choice but to take the out. The Sect Leader’s job, after all, is to handle these things.

"Tomorrow at Si hour, I will await your esteemed arrival at Chengyun Sect. We can talk more then; no rush," Yun Yu said right away.

After some communication and mutual face-saving, the matter came to an end.

"Sect Leader, but seriously, are you really going to give in?" Gu Shanhai asked.

"I will give. I’ll get you some extra benefits when the time comes." Yun Yu couldn’t possibly overlook Gu Shanhai’s share. Expecting the horse to run without feeding it only led to losing both man and money.

"Forget about the benefits for now, really. If someone actually dies during the training, it’s no big deal, but what if they don’t die? Won’t they come after me for accounts? I’m just in the Qi Refinement Realm, that’s not great," Gu Shanhai complained.

Version 1.0, with its myriad of flaws, was even more complicated by the fact that the other party was incompatible.

"They... probably won’t," Yun Yu said, not too confidently. After all, practicing the splits here wasn’t about going berserk, but turning into various birds, beasts, or plants. What’s more terrifying was that some might not return to human form completely, like growing a cow’s head or having a dog’s tail - those peculiar attributes.

At first, Chengyun Sect naturally went through this too, but with Gu Shanhai around and through refined techniques, all of these issues were eliminated.

Then the thought of Chi Yan with a dog’s head and Tian Xun with a tail made Yun Yu chuckle, "Don’t worry. As long as you don’t leave the sect, even if they come attacking, Chengyun Sect will cover for you."

He wasn’t very close to these two, so seeing them embarrassed was a joy.

"Oh, and if I want to break into the Spirit Origin Stage, I can’t always rely on the Spirit Vein..."

"Don’t worry, just get a Peeping Dao Stage Supreme Elder to help you move the mountain and the Spirit Vein into the sect." Yun Yu declared it a simple task.

Gu Shanhai felt that the Sect Leader was so thick-skinned yet hadn’t been punched, probably because he had taken the fall so often that the Supreme Elders were too embarrassed to strike.

"Alright, then, that makes my life easier." Since the Sect Leader said so, what more could Gu Shanhai say.

"How long will you need to perfect the remaining thirty-five transformations?" Yun Yu asked casually.

"Five months," Gu Shanhai replied absentmindedly, thinking about how to turn the specific numbers thirty-six and seventy-two into indefinite figures.

"???" Yun Yu was confused. There must be a mistake in timing; it should take five years, right?

"Just five months. The hardest part is the beginning. With the experience from 72 Transformations and the data I have, once the tests are successful, the rest will be easy."

"The true difficulty lies in making these two Evading Disaster Avoiding Tribulation Methods exhaustively infinite, no longer confined by the number of transformations."

"Then there’s lowering the difficulty and cost of cultivation; these are the key points."

Realizing Yun Yu’s puzzled expression, Gu Shanhai explained further.

"I see." Yun Yu said, grasping that Gu Shanhai intended to make the 36 and 72 Transformations infinite and more accessible to practice. The rest didn’t really weigh on his mind much.

The recognition of calamities of heaven and earth weighed heavily on him, leaving no room for innovation or development. Fortunately, he understood that he, an amateur, should best not interfere with matters of experts.
