Chapter 1214: Chapter 1213: Western Moon Compromise Chapter 1214: Chapter 1213: Western Moon Compromise Hearing this from Elder Tianjun, Taoist Chongyun chuckled, “Since your alliance loves giving away Ancient medicinal herbs so much, how could the Seven Seas Taoist Sect refuse? However, to compete with us again, in addition to ten thousand-year-old Ancient medicinal herbs, we also want ten Ancient Pill Recipes from your precious collection.”
Elder Tianjun frowned. Ten thousand-year-old Ancient medicinal herbs were nothing; the Pill Alliance had been developing for many years, the Nine Countries were vast and rich, and they had collected quite a few thousand-year-old medicinal herbs.
But Ancient Pill Recipes were different; those that were treasured by the Pill Alliance were incredibly precious and had values that were difficult to estimate.
Concerning the Ancient Pill Recipes, Elder Tianjun did not make the decision alone, as the four Heaven Kings had already come forth to take charge. He needed to get their consensus before making a decision.
Thus, Elder Tianjun contacted the South Zodiac King, informed him of the Seven Seas Taoist Sect’s demands, and hoped to get the approval of the four Heaven Kings.
The South Zodiac King didn’t hesitate at all and told Elder Tianjun to agree to the conditions set by the Seven Seas Taoist Sect.
“Fine, the Pill Alliance is willing to add ten more Ancient Pill Recipes, but in that case, shouldn’t the Taoist Sect also raise the stakes a bit? Otherwise, it’s too uninteresting,” Elder Tianjun said, squinting his eyes at Taoist Chongyun.
Taoist Chongyun laughed heartily, “My Taoist Sect is also willing to offer ten Ancient Pill Recipes, but it seems that your alliance has little chance of obtaining them from us.”
Elder Tianjun replied, “We shouldn’t make such absolute statements.”
Taoist Chongyun looked at Elder Tianjun playfully, “Your alliance has already lost to my Taoist Sect. Even if we compete again, the result will be the same.”
Elder Tianjun remained silent; the Pill Alliance had indeed lost before, and now anything said seemed pale and powerless. Only by defeating the Seven Seas Taoist Sect could they vindicate themselves.
What Elder Tianjun did not know was that while they had managed to stabilize the Seven Seas Taoist Sect and gotten them to agree to another competition, the Pill Alliance had not yet settled on who would compete.
In the Ancient Pill Court, the Western Moon King was furious, nearly bursting into curses.
The reason was that Fang Lin was unwilling to fight, and he insisted that only if the Western Moon King personally requested him would he agree to battle the Seven Seas Taoist Sect.
“What does he think of himself? Wanting me to personally request him? It’s utterly ridiculous!” The Western Moon King laughed angrily, his eyes filled with rage.
The others present felt helpless too; Fang Lin’s condition was too difficult to meet. How could the Western Moon King possibly personally request him?
It should be noted that among the four Heaven Kings, the Western Moon King was the one who least favored Fang Lin. He had always been the one obstructing Fang Lin from competing. Although he had reluctantly agreed to let Fang Lin compete now, asking him to personally request Fang Lin was absolutely unthinkable.
“East Pole, did Fang Lin really say that?” The South Zodiac King also asked, somewhat incredulously.
The East Pole King gave a bitter smile, “That’s exactly what the young man said. He’s truly impenetrable, not even giving face to this old man.”
“What a bold young man! He truly is a peerless genius; I quite like his temperament,” Dragon Haotian remarked, deliberately glancing at the Western Moon King.
“What do you think? For the sake of the Pill Alliance’s honor, as a noble Heaven King, shouldn’t you humble yourself and request Fang Lin to compete?” Dragon Haotian said mockingly.
The Western Moon King snorted, “Asking me to request Fang Lin is absolutely impossible. Such audacity from him; we might as well not use him at all.”
North Spirit King suddenly said, “You don’t need to go personally. You could send an avatar to make the request.”
Upon hearing this, the East Pole King clapped and said, “Exactly, if you feel it beneath you, just send an avatar to invite the young man. With his level of perception, he probably won’t even be able to tell the difference between an avatar and your true self.”
Hearing this, the Western Moon King appeared somewhat hesitant, letting him personally request Fang Lin to compete was completely out of the question.
A Heaven King has his own dignity, especially someone as proud as the Western Moon King, who also had a certain dislike for Fang Lin, making it even more impossible for him to lower himself.
If he really did so, how could the Western Moon King then face Fang Lin in the future? How could he face the other three Heaven Kings?
However, if he sent an avatar as North Spirit King suggested, it might indeed be acceptable.
Yet, the Western Moon King still felt extremely awkward. He was a Heaven King, the most prestigious and powerful figure in the Pill Alliance, yet he had to bow to someone as minor as Fang Lin; it was indeed a hard pill to swallow.
“The Seven Seas Taoist Sect has already agreed to another contest with our Pill Alliance. Everything is ready; we just need Fang Lin’s participation,” South Zodiac King said, glancing at the Western Moon King.
“It’s a pity he didn’t ask me to go, otherwise I would have gladly done so,” Dragon Haotian said with a smile.
The East Pole King stroked his beard and said, “Western Moon, sometimes stepping back is also a good thing for the sake of the Pill Alliance’s dignity. After all, the honor of the Pill Alliance is more important than personal pride.”
The Western Moon King clenched his teeth, “Fine! I will send an avatar to ask him to compete, but if he loses to the Seven Seas, I definitely will not spare him!”
The East Pole King nodded, “If he loses, you can deal with him as you see fit.”
Dragon Haotian frowned, feeling that the decision of the East Pole King was not very appropriate, but he did not say much and secretly made up his mind. If Fang Lin truly lost to the Seven Seas Taoist Sect, he would do his utmost to protect him.
At that moment, the Western Moon King created an avatar and sent it to the Extreme North Land to request Fang Lin to compete.
With the cultivation of the Western Moon King, the avatar he created was indistinguishable from his true self, even the aura was just as formidable.
Of course, being an avatar, if someone had sufficient cultivation, they could still discern the difference at a glance.
The Western Moon King’s avatar went to the Extreme North Land and met Fang Lin in the Underground Prison.
No one knew what the Western Moon King and Fang Lin discussed in the Underground Prison, but after the visit by the avatar, Fang Lin agreed to compete.
At this moment, Fang Lin was on his way to Flat Sea City, his complexion still pale and his aura weak, appearing very listless.
“Using an avatar to deceive me, do they really think I, Fang Lin, am so easily fooled?” Fang Lin coldly chuckled as he flew towards Flat Sea City.
Indeed, Fang Lin had seen through that the Western Moon King used an avatar, and even if Fang Lin couldn’t discern it, the Old Dried Corpse could have.
Though Fang Lin had seen through the fact that the Western Moon King had sent an avatar instead of coming personally, he chose not to expose it. He understood well that having the Western Moon King’s avatar come to request his participation was the greatest concession and compromise the Western Moon King could make. If he insisted on having the Western Moon King himself come, it might backfire, letting a hard-to-come-by opportunity slip through his fingers.
