The deal is done, we'll depart in three days! Ji Lingxue's gesture of goodwill.

"Fellow Daoist... are you perhaps... joking?!"

When Ji Lingxue heard Lin Mo's conditions, her entire being was stunned.

A rare look of bewilderment appeared on her noble and cold face.

She had thought Lin Mo might ask for some extremely precious Magic Treasure,

or some long-lost secret art,

and she was even mentally prepared for him to make some outrageous demands.

But no matter what, she never expected Lin Mo to set his sights on the Method of Dynasty Prosperity she had always yearned for.

"Joking?"

"No, I am very serious."

"As long as Eldest Princess agrees, then our transaction will be immediately concluded."

Lin Mo's attitude was clear, leaving no room for negotiation.

"But... but."

"Your Excellency is not the Lord of a Dynasty, so why do you demand this Method of Dynasty Prosperity as compensation?"

Ji Lingxue's breathing was somewhat erratic; she simply couldn't understand his motives.

Could it be that he harbored ambitions to establish an immortal hegemony?

With his unfathomable strength, if he truly wanted to establish a Dynasty of his own, it didn't seem impossible.

As soon as she thought of this, Ji Lingxue's heartstring instantly tensed.

"Oh, don't misunderstand."

Seeing Ji Lingxue's suddenly suspicious and uncertain expression, Lin Mo immediately guessed that his words had frightened her.

So he chuckled and waved his hand.

"I'm not going to use it to establish any Dynasty."

"I have no interest in Dynastic struggles."

"It's just that I'm very interested in some of the concepts regarding Luck within it, and I want to study them."

To dispel Ji Lingxue's doubts, Lin Mo casually made up an excuse.

"To study it?"

"Fellow Daoist... is that true?"

Ji Lingxue clearly didn't believe him; she stared intently at Lin Mo, trying to discern something from his face.

But Lin Mo's expression remained unchanged as he spoke.

This made Ji Lingxue unable to guess what this man was truly thinking.

"Naturally, it is true."

"Once you obtain that Method of Dynasty Prosperity, you only need to give me a copy of it."

"This, I presume, shouldn't be difficult, right?"

Looking at Ji Lingxue's slightly uneasy face, Lin Mo showed a sincere smile.

He was indeed only trying to help Great Xia obtain this Method of Dynasty Prosperity; as for other motives, he truly had none.

But his current display of strength was too formidable, and Ji Lingxue would inevitably suspect his intentions.

For a time, the atmosphere in the pavilion fell into a strange silence.

Ji Lingxue lowered her gaze, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, clearly engaged in a fierce internal struggle.

To agree, or not to agree?

Agreeing to him would mean handing over a portion of the Ancient Spirit Dynasty's future lifeline to this powerful individual of unknown origin, and the risks involved were immeasurable.

But if she didn't agree... Ji Lingxue looked up, once again at Lin Mo's young yet profound face.

She couldn't find a second option.

Within the royal family, there were many loyal Golden Core Realm Cultivators, but not one could give her such strong confidence.

The annihilation of the Black Fiend Sect was the best proof.

This man possessed the power to break the deadlock!

After a long while, Ji Lingxue seemed to have made a certain decision, and her tense body slowly relaxed.

She looked up again, her cold eyes once more calm.

"Alright, I agree."

"Very good, a pleasant transaction!"

Seeing Ji Lingxue finally agree, Lin Mo also breathed a sigh of relief, a satisfied smile on his face.

He had thought she wouldn't agree so easily, because such a significant matter concerning the fate of the Dynasty would, logically, require two or three days of discussion with the King.

But unexpectedly, in just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, she had made up her mind.

Could this indicate that the current Ancient Spirit Dynasty was truly at a moment of life and death?

So much so that she, the Eldest Princess, dared not hesitate for even a moment.

"Your Highness Eldest Princess, rest assured."

"I believe you will not regret today's transaction."

Lin Mo's tone was very confident.

"I naturally trust Fellow Daoist's strength."

"Since that is the case, then I will trouble Fellow Daoist!"

Ji Lingxue slowly stood up and bowed slightly to Lin Mo.

This gesture increased Lin Mo's good impression of her considerably.

Noble in status, yet understanding of the bigger picture, not brainless, not putting on airs, and knowing how to adapt to circumstances.

All in all, she was a clever woman.

Cooperating with such a sensible person was quite a good experience.

"So, when do we depart?" Lin Mo no longer stood on ceremony and directly asked for the specific time.

Ji Lingxue pondered for a moment before giving her answer.

"If Fellow Daoist has no other commitments, then shall we tentatively set it for three days from now?"

"At that time, I will personally come to pick up Fellow Daoist."

"No problem, then in three days, I will arrive as agreed."

"For now, I will take my leave."

After learning the exact time, Lin Mo prepared to leave.

He had been out for a day and a night, and he didn't know if Liu Qingyu had woken up at the Qingxuan Sect, or if any other unexpected situations had occurred.

Therefore, to prevent any further accidents, he felt it necessary to go back and check.

"Oh, right, one more thing."

Just as Lin Mo stood up and was about to leave, he suddenly remembered an important matter, paused his steps, and looked at Ji Lingxue.

"Fellow Daoist, please speak." Ji Lingxue stood up to see him off, and hearing this, she stopped in place.

"I need a Medicinal Pill that can at least heal a Nascent Soul Cultivator."

"Preferably one that contains powerful vital energy."

"Does Your Highness Eldest Princess have any channels for this?"

"I am willing to purchase it with Spirit Stones."

Lin Mo asked.

He had previously promised to cure Sikong Yang, and this Medicinal Pill was for Sikong Yang.

"At least... a Medicinal Pill that can heal a Nascent Soul Cultivator?"

Ji Lingxue was first stunned by his words, then she gritted her teeth, as if having made a certain decision, and took out a delicate small jade bottle from her Storage Ring.

"This bottle contains a fifth-grade Medicinal Pill, called the 'Nine Revolutions Life-Restoring Pill'."

"Even a heavily wounded Nascent Soul Cultivator, as long as they still have a breath left, can be saved by it."

"It should be of some help to Fellow Daoist."

"Take it."

Ji Lingxue handed the jade bottle to Lin Mo.

"How many Spirit Stones?" Lin Mo asked casually after putting away the Medicinal Pill.

"This Medicinal Pill shall be my personal gift to Fellow Daoist."

"I hope to use this to befriend Fellow Daoist."

"I hope Fellow Daoist does not disdain it."

Ji Lingxue shook her head, indicating she would not accept any payment.

"This..."

Lin Mo pondered for a moment and understood her meaning.

"Alright then."

"Then I thank Eldest Princess for her kindness."

Lin Mo was not pretentious and readily accepted the Medicinal Pill.

He would remember this favor; at most, he would exert a little more effort to look after her in the Secret Realm. This was nothing to his strength.

Afterward, personally escorted by Ji Lingxue, Lin Mo left the elegant pavilion... Only after Lin Mo's figure had completely disappeared did Ji Lingxue turn around and return to the pavilion.

The palace-dressed woman who had accompanied them throughout but had not spoken, finally couldn't hold back and quickly stepped forward.

"Your Highness, that Nine Revolutions Life-Restoring Pill was bestowed upon you by the King Lord for your own protection."

"To give it to him just like that..."

"Isn't that a bit too much?"

"Also, he actually has ideas about the Method of Dynasty Prosperity! This person's ambition is not small. Is it really okay for us to cooperate with him?"

Hearing her words, Ji Lingxue turned her head, but she was not angry.

An ordinary maid would naturally not dare to question her master's decision,

but this Aunt Liu, in front of her, was her personal guard who had watched her grow up since childhood, was devoted to her, and deeply trusted and valued by her.

She naturally had the right to ask these questions.

"Aunt Liu, I understand. You think that no matter how strong he is, he is still just a Golden Core Realm Cultivator."

"It's not worth me investing such a large sum to win him over."

"But..."

Ji Lingxue paused, then continued: "He is not as simple as he appears."

"Aunt Liu, the Black Fiend Sect has been entrenched in my Ancient Spirit Dynasty for many years, constantly causing trouble in secret. Do you know why I have been hesitant to order their annihilation?"

Liu Fang was startled upon hearing this, but quickly replied.

"Because behind the Black Fiend Sect, there is the shadow of a Nascent Soul Great Power from the Xuan Ye Dynasty."

She knew about this.

Because many of the intelligence reports were personally collected by her.

"Exactly, that's right."

Ji Lingxue nodded.

"But the tumor that I dared not touch was easily eradicated by him, and it didn't even take much time."

"Do you know what this means?"

Her demeanor was calm, but her words sent a shock through Liu Fang's heart.

"But Your Highness, as far as I know, although he destroyed the Black Fiend Sect, at that time, the three Sect Leaders of the Black Fiend Sect were not within the sect..."

Liu Fang hesitated to speak.

Ji Lingxue, however, understood what she wanted to say.

"You suspect that he only destroyed the weakly guarded Black Fiend Sect while the three Sect Leaders were away, right?"

"But what if I told you that before that, he had already eliminated the three Sect Leaders?"

As Ji Lingxue spoke, she waved her delicate hand, and two dark tokens appeared out of thin air on the table.

Liu Fang leaned closer to look, and her entire being froze.

The tokens were made of special material, with the ferocious characters 'Sect Leader' engraved on the front, and 'Black Wind' and 'Poison Scorpion' engraved on the back respectively.

"This is?!"

Liu Fang was greatly shocked, wondering how these tokens ended up in her Highness's hands.

"Before meeting him, I went to the City Lord's Mansion and met the newly appointed City Lord, Zhao Chuan, here."

"I originally intended to inquire about the City Lord's opinion of this powerful individual."

"But unexpectedly, I also had an unexpected gain."

"Yes, these tokens are the possessions of the Second and Third Sect Leaders of the Black Fiend Sect."

"As for the token of the Great Sect Leader, Blood Fiend, according to Zhao Chuan, it was accidentally destroyed by that powerful individual during their battle."

"But this is already enough to prove that he personally eliminated the three Sect Leaders of the Black Fiend Sect."

Ji Lingxue's narration was calm, yet every word was like a clap of thunder.

"How is this possible?!"

"Those three individuals definitely had life-saving trump cards left by that Nascent Soul Great Power from the Xuan Ye Dynasty on them!"

"No matter how strong that person is, it's impossible for him to kill them while activating their trump cards and remain completely unharmed!"

"He is only a Golden Core Realm Cultivator after all!"

Liu Fang could not accept this fact.

"Yes... but the evidence tells us, this is the truth."

Ji Lingxue sighed softly.

"No matter what methods he used, in short, he did it."

"So now... do you still think what I just did was too much?"

At these words, Liu Fang fell completely silent.

If the other party was indeed so unfathomable, then everything her Highness had just done was not only not excessive, but an extremely correct decision.

Ultimately, her own perspective had been too narrow!
