100: I'm here to discuss a business deal!

Before Zhuge Zhao could recover her senses, the palace doors were knocked on heavily.

Lin You's deep voice came from outside the door.

"Junior Lin You."

"Greetings to the Senior of the Zhuge Family."

"I have come to discuss a deal!"

—Creak...

The heavy doors were slowly pushed open.

Lin You's figure walked in from outside the hall, and he looked around as if no one else was there.

"As expected of a Longevity Family."

"Truly impressive."

"Just this great hall alone must have been built with millions of Spirit Stones."

"Tsk... the air is filled with the scent of luxury."

Arriving before them, Lin You cast his gaze upon the young man in the center.

He did not hesitate in the slightest.

"Zhuge Changqing..."

"First time meeting, I have long admired your name."

Immediately after, he nodded slightly towards Zhuge Zhao, who was beside him.

He had seen this important figure before.

She was the one who hosted the Prodigy Grand Competition with Qin Feng.

Zhuge Changqing was slightly surprised, "You have heard of my legends before?"

Lin You paused, but then shook his head and said honestly.

"No."

Zhuge Changqing's mouth twitched.

He hadn't heard of him, yet he said he had long admired his name!

But then Lin You spoke up, "I just heard it countless times at the foot of the mountain; the young Disciples of the Zhuge Family practically revere you like a god."

Zhuge Changqing laughed out loud, regardless of how intelligent and quick-witted he was.

He could not escape human nature.

Who doesn't like it when others flatter them!

He humbly said:

"It is alright, it is alright."

"My cultivation is just a little bit higher."

"I just happened to reach the Peak Profound Immortal Realm at twenty..."

Lin You pondered and nodded.

"It is indeed alright."

As the words fell.

Zhuge Changqing regretted it immediately.

He had intended to show off; after all, a Profound Immortal Realm Cultivator at twenty was a capital worth boasting about within a Longevity Family.

But this guy in front of him...

He reached the Peak Profound Immortal Realm at eighteen...

Damn it!

Zhuge Changqing coughed, wanting to regain some face.

"Lin You."

"You swaggered into my Zhuge Family and even injured the Disciples within my clan."

"Aren't you afraid that I won't let you walk out of these doors?"

Lin You shook his head calmly.

"Not afraid."

A playful look appeared in Zhuge Changqing's eyes, and his Aura slowly gathered.

"Oh?"

"Why are you not afraid?"

Lin You's gaze was like a torch, and he said calmly:

"With the capabilities of the Zhuge Family, if you wanted to kill me, it would be a matter of a single sentence."

"Why go through the trouble?"

"The younger generation of the Zhuge Family attacked me, and I fought back."

"You saw it, and you permitted it."

"Since you permitted it, I have no need for reservations."

"I am not stupid enough to think that a Longevity Family would not see the situation at the foot of the mountain."

As the words fell.

Zhuge Changqing's Aura suddenly dissipated.

His appreciation for Lin You grew even more.

Just this composure of remaining calm even if Mount Tai were to collapse before him.

Is enough to be called a hero!

"Excellent."

"No wonder Qin Feng became friends with you."

"Ever since that guy entered my Zhuge Family, he has been acting so arrogant."

"Acting as if he were invincible under the heavens."

"But I did not expect that a small Seventh-Rank Star Domain would produce two such Sleeping Dragons and Phoenix Chicks."

Lin You's mouth twitched upon hearing this.

If he did not know that 'Sleeping Dragon and Phoenix Chick' was meant as a compliment in this world.

He would have thought the other party was mocking him.

Zhuge Changqing waved his hand.

"Alright, let's talk business."

"What is the reason for coming to my Zhuge Family?"

Lin You adjusted his thoughts and took out the token at his waist:

"Is this token from you?"

Zhuge Changqing nodded.

Lin You continued, "I have encountered a bit of trouble now."

"In the Fifth-Rank Star Domain, I killed two Patrol Envoys of the Patrol Envoy Branch Office and took their place."

—Hiss...

As the words fell.

Zhuge Changqing and Zhuge Zhao's eyes were filled with shock.

Good heavens!

This guy really has guts!

Daring to kill people openly inside a Patrol Envoy Branch Office.

One must know,

The entire Patrol Envoy organization was jointly established by the Longevity Families.

What it represents is not just the majesty of one family.

But the face of all Longevity Families!

What is the difference between Lin You's actions and slapping someone in the face with a slipper?

"So?"

Zhuge Changqing spoke tentatively, seemingly having an answer in his heart.

"I will offer a Cultivation Technique."

"Heaven-Grade."

"The Zhuge Family will take action to help me resolve this matter."

"I still have use for the Fifth-Rank Star Domain's Patrol Envoy Branch Office, so this position... I must sit firmly in it."

"Otherwise, the situation will snowball; the Fourth-Rank Star Domain will come to kill me."

"The big shots above will also come to kill me."

"I fear I would have to take the Lin Family and flee throughout the All Heavens and Myriad Realms!"

Lin You spoke with conviction, and he casually took out a Jade Slip.

He recorded the entire Yellow Emperor Sword Canon Cultivation Technique and his cultivation insights into it.

In an instant,

A massive amount of Sword Intent surged like a gale.

Even without looking, one could feel the terrifying power contained within it.

This value...

Is immense!

A Longevity Family is not lacking in Heaven Grade Cultivation Techniques.

But if it also contains cultivation insights at Great Perfection, its value is incomparable.

It can be said that as long as the Zhuge Family agrees.

In the future, Disciples will Cultivate with half the effort and twice the results!

"A bit interesting."

A trace of appreciation appeared in Zhuge Changqing's eyes.

Young and decisive.

Extraordinary mind!

Even for an extremely precious Heaven Grade Cultivation Technique, he threw it out without blinking an eye.

This courage is truly immense.

A Cultivator's Divine Abilities are like family treasures; every Cultivation Technique is independent.

No one is willing to share them.

Because the more people who obtain them, the more one's own trump cards are exposed!

But this guy in front of him...

Has a sense of confidence from the depths of his Soul.

As if anyone left behind by him will never be able to catch up!

Zhuge Changqing raised his hand and picked up the Jade Slip.

He closed his eyes to experience the essence within.

After a while,

He suddenly opened his eyes, and a brilliant light erupted from them.

"Heaven-Grade Peak Quality!"

"Almost approaching True Spirit Grade!"

"Excellent!"

Lin You smiled, "So, does the Zhuge Family agree?"

Zhuge Changqing put down the Jade Slip with a hint of reluctance.

He shook his head.

"The item is very good."

"But my Zhuge Family cannot accept it."

"Helping you before was entirely out of consideration for Qin Feng; he voluntarily gave up his spot in the Star Sea Spirit Pool, and plus, my Zhuge Family wanted to form a good connection with you."

"It was just a convenient gesture."

"But now, it is different."

"You killed two Third-Rank Patrol Envoys; this will definitely reach the Patrol Envoy Headquarters."

"Although my Zhuge Family could resolve it for you, the relationships involved are intricate and complex, and the gains would not outweigh the losses."

"To put it bluntly."

"Given our current relationship with you, it is not worth it for the Zhuge Family to pay the price for you."

Zhuge Changqing's words were plain, and his eyes were as calm as an ancient well.

At this moment,

The future Sect Head of this Longevity Family truly revealed his shrewdness.

Searching only for two words.

Price tag!

A Heaven Grade Cultivation Technique is indeed precious, but it is far from the point where the Zhuge Family would be willing to risk causing dissatisfaction among other Longevity Families for his sake.

After all, this position of Patrol Envoy.

Was jointly established by all Longevity Families.

If everyone acted recklessly and broke the rules, it would have no meaning to exist.

Lin You looked up and met the other person's gaze.

He clearly understood the meaning as well.

He pondered slightly, calculating in his heart.

"Since that is the case..."

"Then how about we make a bet?"
