Chapter 109 Negotiation and After

This sect war was the biggest battle in the southwest of Yunzhou in the past hundred years.

Yunshui Sect had more than a hundred Qi Refining disciples killed or injured, and two Foundation Building elders died in the battle.

Because Cao Rui occupied the Qingling Xiuxian Market in advance, he could rest and heal nearby, and the number of Qi Refining disciples killed or injured in the Spirit Beast Sect was half less. In addition, the sect's Foundation Building elder Feng Yunfan died in the battle.

Lu Jiuxiao and Gu Qingying had a battle more than 20 years ago.

Last time, Gu Qingying lost.

This time, Gu Qingying still lost.

Whether from the perspective of the sect or the individual, Yunshui Sect and Gu Qingying were defeated miserably.

It's just that this time the fight for the spirit stone vein is not a life-and-death battle that concerns the survival of the sect.

Since the victory has been decided.

After Gu Qingying calmed down, he had to choose to make peace.

Fighting further would only give other forces an opportunity.

As the Foundation Building elder of Yunshui Sect brought the news of peace talks.

The two sides quickly formed the first round of negotiations on the same day.

The sect leaders who participated in the negotiations chose the middle position of the two sides' formations and sat down to discuss the solution of this matter.

At dusk.

In an open space between the two formations.

A long table was set up, and the high-level monks of the two sects sat down one by one.

As a sect leader, Cao Rui also participated in this first negotiation and sat at the end.

Opposite him happened to be Master Jin Guang of Yunshui Sect, who had fought before, and the two stared at each other.

Fortunately, the negotiations started quickly.

Cao Rui finally knew why Lu Jiuxiao asked Fang Yi, the head of the Talisman Making Institute, to come out for negotiations.

This uncle is really bold.

Said that Yunshui Sect's excavation of the spirit stone mine was stolen.

In addition, Han Yuansheng's death should be attributed to Yunshui Sect.

Fang Yi proposed that Qingling Xiuxian Market would compensate Lingshou Sect as compensation.

In addition, another 300,000 spirit stones must be compensated as compensation for defeat.

As for the spirit stone mine, it originally belonged to the Spirit Beast Sect. It was good that they didn't hold the Yunshui Sect responsible for stealing it. Naturally, it also belongs to the Spirit Beast Sect.

After listening to Fang Yi's speech.

Gu Qingying was about to lose her temper on the spot, threatening to have another high-level decisive battle with the Spirit Beast Sect.

Fortunately, a great elder of the Yunshui Sect, Zhao He, stopped Gu Qingying.

Zhao He was the representative of the Yunshui Sect in the negotiations here. This old man was quite old and had become very smart.

He knew that if the fight continued, the Yunshui Sect would not get any advantage.

The sect's strength at the mountain gate was weak now, and the large force had to rush back quickly, otherwise it would be even worse if the demon cultivators took the opportunity to cause chaos.

Zhao He refuted Fang Yi slowly one by one.

Emphasized the consumption when building the Qingling Xiuxian Market, the value of the large spirit gathering array, and the most important thing was that the construction of the market was not concealed, and the Spirit Beast Sect knew about it.

As for the spirit stone mine, it was located on the border of the two countries. It was not that the Spirit Beast Sect owned it, it was its own.

Zhao He also invited a foundation-building abbot of Miaoyin Temple to the scene to witness.

This abbot was the VIP No. 3 who had competed with Cao Rui at the auction and bought the new pill formula.

Cao Rui only knew his identity at this time. He was the foundation-building abbot of Miaoyin Temple. His Dharma name was Zhiyuan. He had the fifth level of foundation-building cultivation and was quite powerful.

When the two sects were fighting, Zhiyuan hid around the battlefield to check the strength of the two sects.

At this time, he had a clear understanding of the strength of the two sects.

The Spirit Beast Sect was so powerful that it should be suppressed.

Zhiyuan's trip was instructed by Miaoyin Temple to help Yunshui Sect gain more benefits.

As for the Spirit Beast Sect, it was natural that they could not really ignore Zhiyuan.

It was not that they were afraid of him as a foundation-building sect, but that the Spirit Beast Sect had to consider the reaction of Miaoyin Temple behind Zhiyuan.

In the history of southwest Yunzhou, those who were attacked by the other two major sects at the same time would not have a good end.

The mutual constraints between the three major sects were also one of the reasons why southwest Yunzhou had been relatively peaceful for so many years.

Zhiyuan's participation in this meeting has already shown Miaoyin Temple's willingness to participate.

After Zhiyuan appeared, Fang Yi couldn't help but look at Lu Jiuxiao, who was watching his heart and his eyes.

Lu Jiuxiao nodded slightly.

Fang Yi made concessions in his tone: "Then you tell me, how should we distribute it reasonably?"

Zhao He coughed dryly and said: "We spent a lot of effort to build the Qingling Xiuxian Market, and we must return part of the profits of the market. How about the fifty-fifty division of the management rights of the market from now on?"

"For the spiritual stone vein, the disciples responsible for mining will each contribute half, and the spiritual stone output will be six for you and four for us."

"Bang!" Fang Yi slapped the table, "Bullshit, if we divide it according to what you said, wouldn't it become your Yunshui Sect? Beat us?"

Gu Qingying stood up suddenly, and the powerful aura of the late foundation building locked Fang Yi: "You better be polite when you speak!"

Lu Jiuxiao silently blocked Gu Qingying's aura, "Mrs. Gu, you are still so hot-tempered at your age."

"Lu Jiuxiao, dare you be rude to our sect master? !"

"What's wrong with being rude? You are just a defeated general of our sect master!"

"......"

After another round of verbal abuse, the two sides sat down again and started negotiations with difficulty.

Cao Rui felt that negotiation was more tiring than fighting.

The first round of negotiations naturally did not produce any results.

The second round of negotiations started the next morning, but there was no result.

During the period, Feng Qiwu, the head of the Spirit Beast Academy, and an elder of the Yunshui Sect cursed too fiercely and fought in the air.

Feng Qiwu was slightly better with his family magic, which boosted the spirit beast sect's momentum.

It was not until the fifth round of negotiations at noon on the third day that Yunshui sect could no longer afford to waste time.

The spirit beast sect had the beast ancestor in charge, which was as stable as Mount Tai, but Yunshui sect did not have a golden elixir-stage ancestor in charge.

As the defeated party, Yunshui sect made a big concession.

First: Qingling Xiuxian Market belongs to the spirit beast sect, but Yunshui sect disciples have the right to enter Qingling Xiuxian Market for transactions and enjoy VIP treatment.

Second: For the spirit stone veins, the management personnel shall be provided by the spirit beast sect, who shall also be responsible for safety work; the excavation disciples shall be provided by Yunshui sect.

Of the excavated spirit stones, the spirit beast sect takes 80% and Yunshui sect takes 20%.

Third: As the defeated party, Yunshui sect shall pay a one-time compensation of 100,000 spirit stones to the spirit beast sect.

If the third clause is not fulfilled, then Yunshui sect's share of the second clause will be reduced to 10%, which is the bottom line of the spirit beast sect.

This spiritual stone mine has at least 800,000 to 900,000 spiritual stones, and 10% is 800,000 to 900,000 spiritual stones.

The third compensation of 100,000 spiritual stones is more meaningful for the Spiritual Beast Sect to gain face.

As for the Yunshui Sect, since they have already lost, Gu Qingying is not willing to be stubborn and refuse to admit defeat.

Therefore, for the sake of practical interests, the third clause was also agreed with a pinch of the nose.

So far, the negotiation ended.

The Yunshui Sect paid 100,000 spiritual stones on the spot, and the large force boarded the spirit ship and set off to return to the sect.

On the Lingshou Sect side, the Qingling Xiuxian Market and the spiritual stone mine were properly arranged, and the large force returned a day later.

Because Cao Rui had to study the new pill formula, he volunteered to stay in the Qingling Xiuxian Market and serve as the first shop owner.

As for the affairs of the Alchemy Institute, Cao Rui could drive Heiyu back to the sect every once in a while to deal with them.

Ordinary trivial matters can also be properly handled by the two deacons.

Lu Jiuxiao agreed to Cao Rui's request, handed the small array back to Cao Rui, and sent two true disciples and more than ten inner disciples to assist Cao Rui in handling daily affairs of the market.

Among the two true disciples, one was Feng Qingyun, the best of the 102nd generation disciples, and the other was Zhang Mo, the 101st generation disciple who was rescued by Cao Rui and had the tenth level of Qi Refining.

As for the spirit stone vein, Ye Yunyin, who was in the foundation-building stage, and a group of disciples were arranged to be in charge.

Qingling Xiuxian Market and the spirit mine are only a hundred miles apart.

On a daily basis, Ye Yunyin, who is in charge of the spirit mine, and Cao Rui in the market can also rely on each other.
