The Other Side of A Cultivation Story

'Trade!?'

The emperor was relieved.At least there was a chance.

Qai himself was not selfish. He knew he was indebted to the Sect Master. And his act of sharing the secrets in Beast Taming which he himself declared as a family heirloom was not an act of betrayal to his family—that was why he earnestly stated that there were conditions.

Qai could neither afford to betray the Emperor Void nor his family.He was indeed many things but not a traitor.

So the only thing he could do was to benefit from it.

In truth, the Sect Master had all the power to extract anything from Qai just by a mere lift of a finger, but he was kind enough to respect Qai's secrets which he claimed to have already been the Shu family's heirloom.

Besides, which cultivator did not have any secrets.One could not be said to be strong enough without some things kept within himself.

"Little friend..," the Sect Master happily asked, "what are the conditions?

Qai took a deep breath before he began.He actually had three things in mind.

"Fisrt," Qai politely answered. "I wish for the Sect Master to also personally keep this information a secret."

That was of course an obvious request.Since it was already declared a family heirloom, it was natural to be kept safe by anyone who would learn of it.

"Naturally..," the Emperor Void quickly remarked.

Inversely, with the Sect Master joining the circle who knew the family's secret, it was as if the Emperor Void became somehow a 'member' of the family.

Just from the first condition alone, Qai had already gained a lot.

"Secondly, our plateau was attacked recently..," Qai added. "I understand that we are now drawing some attentions and I hope you can look after my Shu family."

The emperor quickly agreed.Even without asking for it, the Sect Master already had special attention to 'The Hunters' Plateau' because of Qai.And now that Shu Kungxu was his direct disciple, the more reason the emperor would look more favorably atthe Shu family and give it some protection.

On the other hand, Qai knew that the Emperor Void would somehow protect his Shu family even without him requesting for it.He just wanted to hear it personally and at same time he wanted to build up his statements going to his last condition.

"Lastly," Qai said after a deep breath. "I feel like this discovery could be a breakthrough in the cultivation world so it's value could be extremely high, so I wanted to trade it with something equally valuable."

Qai placed some emphasis on its importance to the extent that he described it priceless to make it sound like the first in the cultivation history in order to gain the upper hand in the trade.

"What do you need?"

"I wish to obtain few more spatial pendants since many in our family are now bent on following the Beast Taming path," Qai explained.

"Ah."

There wasn't really a problem with Qai's request but as of the moment, the Purple Mist Sect was yet to mass produce the Chui Shi since its other uses were yet discovered.

Besides, the ingredients used to craft the item was not cheap so it was also impractical for the Sect to craft a lot of it.Currently, the Sect Master only had a handful of it.

The Emperor Void paused for a while before he made a decision.

"I can give you two more for free as of the moment," the Sect Master replied."But for the next batches, your Shu family would have to pay for at least the main materials used.. but if you could provide for them, then we'll happily craft the item for free."

Extra two spatial pendants were not bad of a deal.In fact, Qai was not expecting the Sect Master would agree.But to his surprise, his secret really did have a great value.

After agreeing, Qai relayed how he accidentally found a small hidden spring within the mountain range of the Yellow Springs and he made use of the spring water to awaken the domesticated demonic beasts' elemental attributes.

The Emperor Void frowned a bit upon hearing Qai's explanation since getting a hand on such precious water was also based on luck.But even then, there were obviously plenty of springs of different sizes within the said mountain range, so there would always be a possibility to find the spring water.

And even if the Sect Master himself wanted to learn Beast Taming, it would mean he had to breakthrough to Divine realm since he was already at the initial Heaven stage of the Emperor realm.

And in the continent, it had been very very long since it had seen a Divine realm cultivator.

Thus, even if the Emperor Void had his wishful thinking, he also knew that it was next to impossible for him to personally apply everything he learned from his little friend—so he was not all frustrated.

Right now, what he had in mind was that at the Gathering of the Five Great Sects, he would introduce 'Chui Shi' to the entire continent and that the Purple Mist Sect would be mass producing it soon.

The Sect Master sighed and called for someone to retrieve for him from the Sect's treasury two spatial pendants to hand them over to Qai.

After few moments the, a cultivator arrived at the hall and eventually passed on the spatial pendant to Qai.

Thereafter, the Sect Master stood and instructed Qai to head to one of the guest rooms.

"Alright," the emperor suddenly said. "In two days, we would head to the Kunlun Mountains.. you should get ready as well to leave."
