Seeing Shen Changqing's silence, Shangguan Xinghe did not urge him.
In his opinion.
The terms I offered this time were extremely generous, completely different from the last solicitation.
During the last recruitment, the conditions offered by Shangguan Xinghe did not involve the inheritance of the God Emperor, nor did they provide free materials. They only provided a limited number of materials, and that was all.
After all, an ordinary third-level Fu Dao master, although quite important, would not cost the Shangguan family too much.
But things are different now.
With Shen Changqing's cultivation of Talisman Dao, it is only a matter of time before the opponent breaks through to become a third-level high-grade Talisman Dao master.
If you train carefully, there is a chance that you can break through to the ranks of fourth-level Talisman Masters.
Once Shen Changqing breaks through to the fourth level, it will be completely different.
Third level divine king.
Fourth level divine emperor.
This is a watershed.
If Shen Changqing can really break through the level of the fourth-level Fu Dao master, then it will only be a matter of time before the Shangguan family returns to the Great Soul State.
Let’s take a step back.
Even if Shen Changqing stops at the third level of high-grade Fu Dao Grandmaster, it is still important to the Shangguan family.
In addition, Shen Changqing's previous battle with Bei Jue showed that his strength was not weak, and his cultivation level is conservatively estimated to be around the fifth level of the Divine Lord or even the sixth level of the Divine Lord.
Under such circumstances.
Shen Changqing is naturally worthy of the Shangguan family's efforts to win over.
Shangguan Xinghe had already secretly summoned the family and reported everything truthfully, and the answer given by the Shangguan family was that they would win over Shen Changqing no matter what the cost.
to this end.
Only Shangguan Xinghe would release such violent information.
Normally.
Faced with such conditions, no monk would refuse.
But it's a pity.
After all, Shen Changqing is not an ordinary cultivator, and he has no intention of joining the Shangguan family and being restricted by them.
therefore.
He shook his head slightly, and directly rejected Shangguan Xinghe's proposal under his stunned gaze.
"I appreciate Elder Shangguan's kindness. Unfortunately, I am used to being free. I have no intention of joining other forces, and I don't like to be restrained.
If the Shangguan Family wants to cooperate with Honglingfang City, then I definitely agree.
But if you join the Shangguan family, you will still disappoint the elder Shangguan!"
The simple and clear rejection made Shangguan Xinghe frown.
He really couldn't figure out what reason Shen Changqing had for refusing such a thing.
after all.
The Shangguan Family came with great sincerity this time.
Just think of this.
Shangguan Xinghe took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "If fellow Taoist Hongling is not satisfied with the conditions offered by the Shangguan family, then just ask if you have any requests.
As long as the Shangguan family can satisfy them, they will not refuse at all."
"No, I have made up my mind. It is better not to mention this matter again."
Shen Changqing flatly refused.
Shangguan Xinghe opened his mouth, but still did not continue.
After all, the words have been said for this purpose, so there is no need to continue talking.
Nothing can be done once or twice.
The Shangguan Family was the top power in the Great Soul State in the past. Even if it is in decline now, it still has to pay attention to its appearance.
After being rejected by a monk many times, Shangguan Xinghe had no way to continue recruiting.
not to mention.
Shen Changqing's attitude was firm and he had no intention of joining the Shangguan family.
If the other party has the slightest intention to move Shangguan Xinghe, he will recruit him even if he has to sacrifice his face.
Face cannot be eaten as food.
If you really want to be able to recruit a top strong person, it doesn't matter whether you have dignity or not.
Later.
Shangguan Xinghe smiled bitterly and said: "Fellow Taoist Hongling has said this, but if I continue to insist, it will be unsightly.
But Taoist friend said before that you can cooperate with the official family, but I don’t know how to cooperate?"
Recruitment failed.
Shangguan Xinghe can only find another way to get closer to the other party.
Shen Changqing smiled lightly: "Elder Shangguan came to recruit me this time because he values my ability to draw talismans.
After all, I am just a humble person, so I should not let the Shangguan family pay such a high price to recruit me.
So when it comes to cooperation, it’s natural to focus on talismans.”
The words fell.
Shen Changqing paused and then said: "I can provide the Shangguan family with the corresponding talismans, but I don't know what the Shangguan family can give me that would satisfy me?"
As soon as this statement came out.
Shangguan Xinghe's face suddenly became solemn and his demeanor became much more serious.
He pondered for a moment and then said.
"The Shangguan Family is indeed short of talismans. If fellow Taoist Hongling is willing to cooperate with the Shangguan Family, then the Shangguan Family can purchase all of the talismans at a 30% premium to the market price."
"The market price is 30% higher... This price is good, but unfortunately, the conditions are quite poor."
Shen Changqing shook his head, and Shangguan Xinghe frowned again when he heard this.
"This auction of talismans does have a huge premium, but Hongling Daoists should also understand that the price of talismans will fluctuate. Once there are too many, the market price will inevitably be lowered.
At a 30% premium, my Shangguan family has shown great sincerity.
If Hongling Taoist friends are not satisfied with this, you can also name a price and discuss it with the family, and try to give both parties a satisfactory condition."
Shangguan Xinghe said.
Buying and selling negotiations are all about back-and-forth.
Now that Shangguan Family has offered a 30% premium, Shen Changqing refuses, as Shangguan Xinghe expected.
"When the great catastrophe comes, any combat-related resources will be particularly scarce. Things such as talismans can be said to be at a strategic level.
As the war between the dark camp and the Netherworld camp expands, the price of talismans will naturally rise..."
"Fellow Daoist Hongling, I'm afraid I just misunderstood!"
Before Shen Changqing could finish speaking, Shangguan Xinghe interrupted him.
"The 30% premium given below is based on price fluctuations, but there is also a lower limit, which is a 30% premium to the current market price, which is the lowest price.
Even if the price of the talisman drops below today's lowest price in the future, the Shangguan Family will still purchase it at the current price.
If the price of the talisman rises one day, the Shangguan Family will buy it at a premium of three times the market price at that time."
Shen Changqing nodded: "Of course I understand what Elder Shangguan said, but I don't need the Shangguan Family to buy it at a 30% premium, I just need to buy it at the market price."
When he heard these words, Shangguan Xinghe not only showed no joy on his face, but his brows became even more furrowed.
There is no point in negotiating to cut your own price.
With Shen Changqing's words, it was obvious that a bigger purpose was waiting for him behind.
as expected.
When Shangguan Xinghe's thoughts fell, Shen Changqing spoke again.
"All the talismans drawn by me can be sold to the Shangguan family at market prices, but I have another condition.
As long as the Shangguan family can do it, then you and I can achieve it through cooperation."
"What conditions?"
"I need the inheritance of a fourth-level Fu Dao master!"
When Shen Changqing said this, he added another sentence.
"And it must be a complete fourth-level Fu Dao master inheritance!"
The inheritance of the fourth-level Fu Dao master!
Shangguan Xinghe's expression changed.
He knew that Shen Changqing must have a purpose behind it, but he didn't expect that the other party's purpose was actually this.
The inheritance of the fourth-level Fu Dao master.
This is more precious than the ordinary inheritance of the God Emperor.
Shangguan Xinghe took a deep breath and said: "This matter is of great importance. I need to report back to my family before I can give you an answer."
"no problem."
Shen Changqing smiled slightly.
The inheritance of the fourth-level Talisman Master is not an ordinary thing. If Shangguan Xinghe agrees to it, he will still doubt whether the other party has ulterior motives.
Nowadays, it is normal to think about it.
In the final analysis.
The conditions given by Shangguan Xinghe earlier involve the inheritance of the God-Emperor, which are based on the premise of joining the Shangguan family.
But now that I have not joined the Shangguan family, if the other party wants to come up with such inheritance, of course, I must think carefully about it.
Seeing this, Shangguan Xinghe didn't hide anything in front of Shen Changqing. He took out the jade talisman and directly sent the news back to the family.
then.
Just wait.
Both of them remained silent, silently waiting for the results from the Shangguan Family.
Time passed by, Shen Changqing looked as usual, while Shangguan Xinghe was calm on the surface, but felt a little restless inside.
After all, he didn't know how the family considered Shen Changqing's conditions.
After a while.
The messenger jade talisman vibrated.
Shangguan Xinghe immediately read the information.
Then.
There was a look of relief on his face.
Seeing the other party's expression, Shen Changqing understood that the matter was settled.
"The family gave a reply. The Shangguan family has agreed to the request of Taoist friend Hongling, but the inheritance of the fourth-level Fu Dao master is not the same. Even my Shangguan family has never had it.
However, the family promises that within three months at most, the Shangguan family will find such inheritance for fellow Taoists."
Shangguan Xinghe's words made Shen Changqing nodded.
"Three months is not long. I don't have any problems. However, Honglingfang City's cooperation with the Guan family will have to wait until I get the inheritance."
For a monk, three months is just a blink of an eye.
Not to mention three months, Shen Changqing can afford to wait even for three or thirty years.
If he didn't start from the Shangguan family, he would have no way to obtain the inheritance of the fourth-level Fu Dao master from other places.
but.
Even from the Shangguan family, Shen Changqing didn't have high hopes.
But now Shangguan Xinghe's answer made Shen Changqing discover that although this family from the Great Soul State has declined, its heritage cannot be underestimated.
the other side.
Shangguan Xinghe also had no objections: "Yes, once the fourth-level Talisman Master's inheritance arrives within three months, your forces and ours can cooperate.
Before that, I hope that fellow Taoists will stop contacting other forces, and in the future all talismans will only be sold to my Shangguan family."
"Can!"
Shen Changqing also readily agreed.
Since the Shangguan family was happy, there was no reason for him not to be happy.
So far.
The transaction between the two parties is initially concluded.
Shangguan Xinghe finally showed a satisfied smile.
