As the current Sect Master of the Lingxiao Sect, Jiang Yao was also uneasy about cooperating with a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator.

He frowned and pondered for a moment, then looked at Shang Daocheng and asked, "Is it really impossible to expand the transmission channel in a short time?"

Shang Daocheng shook his head, "Reporting to you, Master, the restrictions of that transmission channel are extremely oppressive. In short, even a few of us at the Core Formation Stage are threatened by terrifying realm suppression when we try to approach. We don't know what situation it would be if you or other Nascent Soul cultivators went in person."

Hai Lingfeng said, "If that's the case, then I'll go and see. That kid named Yang Fei, who is only at the Foundation Establishment Stage, dreaming of cooperating with our Lingxiao Sect, is simply foolish. Since he is the only one who has mastered the technology for the Genetic Liquid Medicine, we just need to control him and bring him here. Otherwise, if we cooperate with him, we would have to clean up his mess, and at that time we would have to fall out with the other Five Great Forces, which would not benefit our Lingxiao Sect."

Jiang Yao nodded silently and said, "What Junior Brother Hai says is true. The best approach is to capture that kid and control him while the matter of the Genetic Liquid remains unknown to other sects."

Shang Daocheng also nodded silently, but the current situation did not allow for it. Foundation Establishment disciples going would be unable to do anything to that kid. Not only that, but a few disciples of the Lingxiao Sect are still being held by that kid. If we send more people, those few from Lingxiao Sect might help the kid against us.

Therefore, for now, without a Core Formation Stage expert to go to Earth, there's no advantage for the Lingxiao Sect in turning against that kid.

Even if the Lingxiao Sect doesn't cooperate with that kid, several previous disciples of the Lingxiao Sect have already colluded with him, slaughtering the Foundation Establishment cultivators of other sects and families. In this matter, the Lingxiao Sect has already lost the moral high ground.

He coughed lightly and reminded, "Master, Uncle, the restrictions of the transmission channel are there. We cannot go over to capture that kid. So if our Lingxiao Sect wants to monopolize the secret of the Genetic Liquid Medicine, we must cooperate with him. Otherwise, once he senses our unusual behavior, he will certainly find a way to let other forces know the secret of the Genetic Liquid, at which point the initiative will not be with our Lingxiao Sect."

Jiang Yao and Hai Lingfeng's expressions changed slightly.

Indeed, once that kid lets other cultivation forces in the Southern Domain know about the Genetic Liquid Medicine, the initiative will not be with the Lingxiao Sect anymore.

Jiang Yao said, "So you're saying our Lingxiao Sect should cooperate with that kid?"

Shang Daocheng quickly replied, "The matter is serious, and I dare not speak rashly."

Jiang Yao said, "Just offering an opinion, it's fine."

Hai Lingfeng also said, "Indeed, you are also an elder of the Lingxiao Sect and have the right to speak."

Shang Daocheng pondered slightly and said, "I believe that now the Earth cultivation world is weak and in crisis. If our Lingxiao Sect gives them certain help and benefits, it would be an act of grace. When they've developed and grown stronger in the future, they will remember this grace from our Lingxiao Sect.

On the contrary, if we, like the other sects, continue to target Earth cultivators, then when they grow up, they will see us as their number one enemy."

Jiang Yao frowned, "A world that has just undergone Spiritual Energy Revival, to fully develop is not easy, so this is not something that needs to be considered."

Hai Lingfeng also nodded, "Indeed, under the suppression of our Southern Domain forces, this Earth cultivation world could not possibly develop."

Shang Daocheng also found it reasonable, so he nodded, "If that's the case, then there is another issue."

"What issue?" Hai Lingfeng asked.

Shang Daocheng said, "The question is whether the Genetic Liquid Medicine is truly a divine item. If it is, and our Lingxiao Sect doesn't have an exclusive cooperation with Earth cultivators, other forces will soon know this secret, and by then, our Lingxiao Sect won't be able to stand out."

Jiang Yao and Hai Lingfeng nodded.

This was precisely their greatest concern.

If the Genetic Liquid Medicine indeed had the powerful and magical effects that Lu Chen and Gan Qian described, then having exclusive control over it, the Lingxiao Sect could rise quickly with this item, with hopes of becoming a one-star sect.

If the other major forces also learned this secret, then the Lingxiao Sect would not be able to emerge distinctly among the various forces in the Southern Domain.

The Southern Domain is only so big, with limited resources. With the resources of the Earth Space, it's possible to give birth to one one-star sect, but definitely not two or even three one-star sects.

So the current situation is, for the Lingxiao Sect to maximize benefits, it seems that cooperation with that Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator from Earth is necessary.

Shang Daocheng continued, "But if we are to cooperate with Earth cultivators, we will face pressure from the Flame Moon Sect, Great Dao Sect, and the three families."

Jiang Yao and Hai Lingfeng both frowned.

Though the Lingxiao Sect is strong, if it provokes all five major cultivation forces simultaneously, there will be no easy days ahead.

Shang Daocheng gave them a glance and said, "I have a thought. Please, hear it, Master and Uncle, and see if it's appropriate."

Jiang Yao nodded approvingly, "Speak up, in the sect, you are always the most level-headed; in all major matters, you always provide good opinions."

Hai Lingfeng also gave Shang Daocheng an approving look, nodding, "Indeed, just speak your mind."

Shang Daocheng said, "Here's what I think. Right now, Earth cultivators have only killed some Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Flame Moon Sect and Great Dao Sect, and our Lingxiao Sect's disciples have also died by his hand. Generally speaking, the enmity is not deep. Our Lingxiao Sect can act as a peacemaker, letting both sides cease hostilities and not hold grudges."

Seeing the two elders frown, Shang Daocheng hurriedly said, "The secret of the Genetic Liquid must be kept exclusive to us, the Lingxiao Sect, but the matter of the Top-grade Spirit Mine can be disclosed to other forces because, after all, this secret cannot be hidden."

Jiang Yao and Hai Lingfeng nodded silently.

Although Lu Chen and Gan Qian have temporarily concealed the Top-grade Spirit Mine matter, once other Foundation Establishment disciples from major forces go to Earth, they will certainly uncover the truth there, and it cannot be kept hidden.

"But as for the Genetic Liquid, currently only our Lingxiao Sect knows about it. So the purpose of our cooperation with Yang Fei is singular: to obtain the exclusive agency rights for the Genetic Liquid Medicine in the Central Great World and to assist in easing the relationship between Earth cultivators and the other major forces. As long as the other factions get their supply of top-grade spiritual ore, losing a few Foundation Establishment cultivators is trivial. After all, the goal of sending disciples there was to acquire abundant cultivation resources, wasn't it?"

The faces of Jiang Yao and Hai Lingfeng showed delight, but soon Hai Lingfeng said, "Earth cultivators are resisting our side's invasion with such tenacity, simply because they don't want that Top-grade Spirit Mine Mountain Range to be occupied by us. Do you think the Earth cultivation world would accept this demand?"

Shang Daocheng smiled and said, "They will agree, otherwise they wouldn't have sent Lu Chen and Gan Qian back to discuss cooperation with us."

"Oh? Why is that?" Hai Lingfeng asked.

Shang Daocheng smiled, saying, "Because there are too few Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Earth cultivation world, and they know that we have a large number of Foundation Establishment in our several cultivation forces. They cannot withstand our continuous reinforcements. The most important thing is that if they want to develop and cultivate, besides spirit stones, they also need a large amount of Elixirs and other auxiliary resources. So when we Southern Domain forces obtain spirit stones from Earth, it is not plundering but an equivalent exchange. We can provide them with other materials needed for cultivation."

Jiang Yao laughed heartily and said, "Indeed, this matter can definitely succeed."

With that, he stood up and said, "It seems I need to meet with the Sect Masters of the Flame Moon Sect and Great Dao Sect."

He promptly made a decision, saying, "Daocheng, do as you suggested, quickly inform Lu Chen and Gan Qian to tell Yang Fei that we agree to cooperate."

"Yes, Master."
