You are already cultivating immortality, who would fight with you alone?

Chapter 178: Flower Holy Land's Decision

"happy!"

Liu Yuntian stretched out his index finger and tapped the table lightly, his eyes revealing a hint of excitement and anticipation.

He stared at Nalan Yumo and said bluntly: "I want a first-class sect."

Nalan Yumo frowned slightly, seemingly not surprised by this request, but still responded firmly: "This is impossible, I can only give you a third-rate sect."

She had already known this very well, and she was also mentally prepared for the excessive demands that Liu Yuntian might make.

Negotiation is actually a game in which both parties test each other's bottom line.

At the beginning, both parties will propose conditions that the other party cannot accept at all, and then gradually approach the acceptable range for each other through continuous bargaining.

This strategy is like starting with an overly ambitious request, such as removing the entire roof, and then gradually reducing it to just opening the windows.

If you make it clear from the beginning that you only need to open the window, the other party will definitely try to lower the price, and the final result may be far from your initial expectations.

Hearing Nalan Yumo's response, Liu Yuntian sneered, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

He said sarcastically: "Third-rate sect? Do you think Liu looks like a beggar? Your heart... is not sincere!"

He deliberately dragged out his voice to let Nalan Yumo feel his dissatisfaction and disappointment.

Liu Yuntian knows the rules of this negotiation very well. He will not compromise easily, nor will he easily expose his bottom line.

He wanted to use a tough attitude and clever words to make Nalan Yumo understand his determination and value.

Only in this way can he fight for better conditions and treatment.

Of course, Nalan Yumo knew that the other party would never accept this condition.

After all, the original budget was to directly give the Neon Sect to the other party.

But the show still had to be performed, so he took a deep breath and pretended to be embarrassed: "A first-class sect is the backbone of the holy land, and it is absolutely impossible for us to give it to you."

"I can only give you a second-rate sect. If you have the ability, go ahead and conquer the Neon Sect. My holy land will never interfere!"

"Tuk-tuk-tuk."

Liu Yuntian continued to tap the table expressionlessly, with an expression of consideration.

But in fact, he had already had his own expectations. In the eyes of the top leaders, the Neon Sect, this stinking thing, has long lost its value.

He wants to win over an ally by offering a bland condition.

I'm afraid I'm thinking too simply.

However, Liu Yuntian did not intend to refuse, because that was not his intention at all.

What he needs is an opportunity to reach out to Zhongzhou again.

But if you don't want anything, the other party will be extremely wary.

After all, they are all old foxes. Who would do something that has no benefit?

Liu Yuntian pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, I agree to your terms. But I want to see your sincerity first."

"One more thing, Qiyang City... I, Northern Frontier, will also get involved!"

This caught Nalan Yumo off guard. Before she came, she had never expected that the other party would offer such conditions.

As a trade transit station, Qiyang City plays an extremely important role for the entire Qiyang Continent.

This place gathers the resources and specialties of all the major holy places, and can almost meet all the needs of the monks.

Therefore, monks often choose to go to Qi Yang City to purchase the items they need.

However, the control of this city is firmly in the hands of the six holy places. Any outside forces who want to open shops here must pay them huge fees.

Moreover, if he could not have a place in Qiyang City, it would mean that he could not truly integrate into the top circle of Zhongzhou.

"Humph, Qiyang City is not a place where we, the Hundred Flowers Holy Land, have the final say!"

Nalan Yumo looked displeased, she thought the condition proposed by the other party was not sincere.

After all, it is not easy to gain a foothold in Qiyang City.

The relationship between the six holy places is complicated. They compete and cooperate with each other. How easy is it to break the existing balance?

"I didn't say that you have the final say...all you need to do is not object." Liu Yuntian said lightly.

He knew that the Holy Land of Hundred Flowers would rather remain neutral and not be easily drawn into the fight.

However, they also knew that as the last of the six holy places, and with a foundation far inferior to that of other holy places, if they wanted to change the status quo, they must involve some external forces.

“Four of the six holy places are dormant, all of them are in a state of mind of watching a show. If you, the Baihua Holy Land, do not want to be Wuji’s dog... you must support the intervention of an outsider like me.” Liu Yuntian pointed out the reality bluntly.

"Without going into Qiyang City to do anything, do you really think you can defeat Wuji just by relying on the monopoly of salt and sugar?"

Liu Yuntian stared at Nalan Yumo with a sharp gaze, as if he wanted to see through her eyes to see her innermost thoughts.

He knew that this struggle was not just a business competition, but also a contest of power and interests.

Without sufficient means and strategies, it would be difficult to defeat Wuji based on the current situation.

Nalan Yumo lowered his head and remained silent for a long time.

She secretly weighed the pros and cons in her mind, thinking about how to deal with the current situation.

She knew very well that Liu Yuntian was right. If they only relied on the monopoly of salt and sugar, it would be difficult to compete with Wuji.

Liu Yuntian was not in a hurry either. He leisurely picked up the tea bowl, took a sip, and savored the fragrance of the tea.

"I want to seek Master's opinion!" Nalan Yumo finally spoke.

She decided to report the matter to her master and listen to his advice. After all, such a game between high-level officials was not something that a saint like her could decide.

Liu Yuntian smiled slightly, raised one hand towards the door, and made a gesture of invitation: "Please go ahead."

There is no reason for the Holy Land of Hundred Flowers to refuse at all in their current situation. If they are weak, they will be beaten. They... have no choice!

After a stick of incense, Nalan Yumo returned to the room.

She had a relaxed smile on her face, and it was obvious that she had received the support of her master.

"My master has agreed, but the attitude of our Hundred Flowers Holy Land is not to object. If you can't get the other four holy lands to support you, then our Hundred Flowers Holy Land can do nothing!" Nalan Yumo said in a firm tone.

"Of course." Liu Yuntian nodded with a smile.
