“Senior, what is it that you want?”
Ren Qingtu said in a deep voice.
At this moment, his expression was not good.
Anyone would be anxious if their greatest secret was discovered by an outsider.
If it gets exposed...
The Da Luo Sword Sect is finished.
Previously, he had thought about silencing the person, but as soon as the idea emerged, he quashed it. Forget about the fact that this Senior can see through one's thoughts.
Even in terms of strength, he might not be able to match this person.
As for turning around and leaving...
He had some confidence in doing so earlier, but now, he had no confidence left.
“I am not threatening you.”
Li Yun said indifferently.
“Not a threat?”
Ren Qingtu was stunned.
He had clearly laid out everything, explaining the consequences, making him believe that the Da Luo Sword Sect was doomed—was that not a threat?
Could it be that this Senior wanted to demand an exorbitant price?
At this thought, Ren Qingtu shivered.
Even if this Senior wanted to take a chunk of meat from the Da Luo Sword Sect, he seemed helpless—his secrets were in the other party's hands.
He couldn't even put up a fight.
“I just want to show you a way forward,”
Li Yun took two steps forward, speaking as he walked,
“Right now, the Da Luo Sword Sect still exists, and you still have a way out. But if you wait until disaster strikes and then think of a comeback, the cost will be far greater!”
The knowledge that could save a sect on the brink of extinction would likely be worth the entire Da Luo Sword Sect's fortune.
It would be better to take advantage of Ren Qingtu's presence and get a little more out of him.
“What do you mean by a ‘way forward'?”
Ren Qingtu asked, filled with suspicion.
“That depends on what you want.”
Li Yun replied.
“Master, Senior knows everything! As long as there's money, you can buy anything from him!”
At this moment, Liu Chengxue stepped in with a timely assist.
Li Yun cast a satisfied glance at Liu Chengxue.
I haven't treated you poorly these days. It's nice to see you speak well for me.
“I...”
Ren Qingtu hesitated, then quickly spoke,
“Senior, do you have any way to help the Da Luo Sword Sect return to its former glory?”
“What's so difficult about that?”
Li Yun replied indifferently.
Even at the peak of the Da Luo Sword Sect, they had never produced an Emperor, and to this day, they didn't even have an Imperial Weapon.
All that was needed was the location of an Emperor's tomb.
Then, the Da Luo Sword Sect could send someone to dig it up.
Not only would they have an Imperial Weapon,
but if they're lucky, they might even find an Emperor's scripture!
Their overall strength would naturally surpass the most glorious days of their past!
But the problem was...
Ren Qingtu had come alone. Whether the things he carried could afford this information was a huge issue.
“Please, Senior, be clear!”
Ren Qingtu quickly said.
Li Yun didn't speak.
Why is it that everyone is like this?
They all want me to make it clear from the start?
Is this news just blowing in from the wind?
“Master, if you want to buy information from Senior, there must be an equivalent exchange. Otherwise, Senior won't say a word. Just like Yang Qiu before, he bought information from Senior.”
Liu Chengxue explained.
“Ah, I see now.”
Ren Qingtu suddenly understood.
Li Yun stood to the side.
For some reason, at this moment, he looked at Liu Chengxue with increasing admiration.
I never noticed before, but this girl really knows how to handle things!
She always knows the right thing to say at the right time!
If Ren Qingtu is willing, I might even consider keeping him.
His talent is a bit lacking, but with endless resources poured into him, making him an Emperor shouldn't be difficult. After all, many so-called trash cultivators rise to prominence through opportunities.
Liu Chengxue isn't lacking in talent, and with my help, she could easily become an Emperor.
“Senior, how much would it cost to restore the Da Luo Sword Sect to its former glory?”
Ren Qingtu asked.
“Hmm...”
Li Yun pondered for a moment, then said,
“Probably selling off more than half of the Da Luo Sword Sect should be enough.”
Li Yun could estimate the general value of such information without consulting the system.
“Uh...”
Ren Qingtu's face froze.
The Da Luo Sword Sect was already in such a state, and if half of it was sold off, he would likely never be able to enter the Ancestor's Hall again. He would become a sinner of the entire sect.
“Ahem.”
Ren Qingtu coughed lightly,
“Then... let me change my question. Does Senior have a way to help a certain Elder of the Sword Sect break through to the Great Sage realm?”
The Great Sage realm.
This was the realm just below Pre-Emperor.
Such individuals were roughly on the level of a lower-tier sacred land.
Losing one would be a huge loss.
From Ren Qingtu's expression, their ancestor was likely at this level.
“I can do that.”
Li Yun nodded, saying indifferently,
“Go back and bring me seven or eight weapons used by Saint Kings, along with a few Saint-level techniques. I'll help you fulfill your wish.”
“Seven... seven or eight? And Saint-level techniques too?”
Ren Qingtu was stunned.
Does he think this is cabbage?
Which Saint King has so many weapons?
Weapons used by Saints are already precious, and weapons used by Saint Kings are even rarer. Each one is priceless, and just handing one over would make Ren Qingtu feel heartache.
As for seven or eight...
If he managed to get that many, he would probably be killed by the Da Luo Sword Sect's Elder the moment he stepped out.
Even if he were the Sect Master, he couldn't treat the Sword Sect like his own backyard.
Ren Qingtu glanced down at his storage ring and subtly touched it.
Only now did he deeply understand—he was, after all, a poor bastard.
At the Heavenly Mechanism Tower, he couldn't even buy a single piece of information.
“Senior, how much is the method to attain sainthood worth?”
Ren Qingtu reluctantly asked, settling for a lesser option.
If Yang Qiu could buy a method to achieve sainthood, it would be strange if he, as the Sect Master, couldn't afford it too.
