Seeing Li Yang in a thundering rage, filled with murderous intent, Hai Mo and Yan Wei both shrank their necks.

Ling Shuanghua, although understanding Li Yang's feelings, knew that things had come to this. The Glazed Soul-Seizing Banner and the Mixed Element Bell were treasures of the Flame Moon Sect and could not be allowed to be traded by Yang Fei to other sects or families.

She immediately rebuked, "Li Yang, what Yang Fei said is not wrong. It was our Flame Moon Sect disciples' lack of skill that lost the magic artifact. Now that he is willing to exchange it for equivalent elixirs and magic swords, it already reflects the face of the Flame Moon Sect. Figure out a way to gather enough elixirs and magic swords and send disciples to trade them back."

Li Yang looked wronged and unsatisfied, but seeing Ling Shuanghua's sharp gaze, he could only lower his head and say, "Yes, disciple knows his mistake."

Hai Lingfeng handed ten top-grade spirit stones to Chu Kuangge, saying, "These are the spirit stones exchanged for your three elixirs."

Chu Kuangge accepted them joyfully, saying, "Thank you very much."

Even though he was a Core Formation Master, exchanging three Foundation Establishment Pills, which were of little use to him, for ten top-grade spirit stones, was already a big gain.

Not long ago, he had acquired a puppet magic artifact that, when fully activated, had a combat power close to that of a Core Formation Master. However, the puppet magic artifact was too advanced and required top-grade spirit stones to operate. Each activation consumed three to five top-grade spirit stones, and he did not have many top-grade spirit stones. Last time, when he was ambushed by three demon path Core Formation Stage experts, he used the puppet magic artifact, depleting more than half of his top-grade spirit stones. Now obtaining ten, it relieved his urgent need.

Jiang Yao glanced at the spirit stones in his hand, smiled slightly, and said to Yan Wuji and Ling Shuanghua, "Our Southern Domain Cultivation World is, after all, a major sect in the upper realm. Since this small Earth Cultivation World wants to cooperate with us, they must show enough sincerity. Moreover, we lost several people on their side, and the Earth Cultivation World needs to compensate for this."

Yan Wuji and Ling Shuanghua's eyes lit up.

Zhong Wei, Feng Changgong, and He Huan also nodded one after another, their eyes filled with anticipation.

Jiang Yao glanced at everyone and smiled, saying, "In everyone's opinion, how many top-grade spirit stones should the Earth compensate our families to offset the previous grudges between both parties?"

Li Yang said, "Every Foundation Establishment Stage disciple is a precious asset of our sect and family. Training a Foundation Establishment cultivator is extremely difficult, with countless efforts and resources spent, so this compensation price must be high enough."

Ying Wujiu also said, "Indeed, we are a two-star sect, and normally a cultivation force with only Foundation Establishment cultivators is not eligible to cooperate with us. Moreover, they killed our disciples, so if they want peace and seek cooperation with our Southern Domain Cultivation World, they must pay a sufficient price."

"Well said," He Huan said with a smile.

"It should be like this," Zhong Wei said.

Feng Changgong nodded and said, "Being able to cooperate with them already shows our leniency, reflecting the broad-mindedness of the Southern Domain cultivation forces. But we are not a charity, and the dignity of large sects and noble families cannot be violated. The Earth Cultivation World must give compensation and show genuine sincerity."

On this point, everyone had a high degree of consensus.

Shang Daocheng couldn't help but frown slightly.

He didn't understand why his master would take the initiative to propose this.

Yang Fei approached Lingxiao Sect for cooperation, and Lingxiao Sect should somewhat shield Earth's issues. Why would the master propose something detrimental to Earth's interests?

If Yang Fei knew this, wouldn't he be disheartened?

But things had come to this, and Shang Daocheng could say no more. He was internally worried, unsure if the people on Earth would still be willing to cooperate with Lingxiao Sect after hearing this demand.

Lu Chen and Gan Qian had clearly stated before that if Lingxiao Sect did not cooperate, Yang Fei would seek cooperation with the Flame Moon Sect or Great Dao Sect, or even with all of the Southern Domain cultivation forces.

If this decision of the master angered Yang Fei and he revealed the Genetic Liquid Medicine matter to other sects and families, Lingxiao Sect would lose any advantage.

Situ Yao and Huang Yuankui had the same concerns, but since Jiang Yao had said so, they could not intervene arbitrarily.

However, Hai Lingfeng, on the other hand, smiled and did not take it seriously.

Hai Mo and Yan Wei exchanged a glance, seemingly reading each other's thoughts, and then slowly shook their heads, sharing a smile.

What they thought was, if they were to go to Yang Fei, they absolutely could not.

Although they had only brief contact before, they could feel the powerful aura from Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang. If they genuinely angered Yang Fei and he made a move, the two of them wouldn't have a chance to escape.

"How about this? For each sacrificed disciple, the Earth should compensate five thousand top-grade spirit stones, and also, since the Earth Cultivation World is a lower realm, a low-level sect, they originally are not qualified to cooperate with our families or directly purchase elixirs and other magic artifacts and cultivation resources from us. Now that we agree to cooperate, they must contribute sixty thousand top-grade spirit stones annually as a token of gratitude for establishing a cooperative trading relationship," Jiang Yao articulated his thoughts when he saw everyone's interest in the matter.

Everyone was moved.

If it were low-grade spirit stones, not to mention tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands or millions wouldn't move these Core Formation Masters too much.

But Jiang Yao was talking about top-grade spirit stones.

One top-grade spirit stone is equivalent to ten thousand low-grade spirit stones.

Compensating five thousand top-grade spirit stones for each sacrificed Foundation Establishment disciple is equivalent to fifty million low-grade spirit stones.

This compensation amount is just too staggering!

Even Hai Lingfeng couldn't help but take a deep breath, looking at Jiang Yao in astonishment.

Yan Wuji and Ling Shuanghua subconsciously swallowed, looking at Jiang Yao to see if he was joking.

However, Jiang Yao's expression did not seem to be joking.

"Cough, cough, Sect Master Jiang, are you sure the Earth Cultivation World can come up with this amount?" Yan Wuji couldn't help but ask.

According to the previously agreed distribution ratio among the three parties, if the Earth really contributes sixty thousand top-grade spirit stones annually, the Flame Moon Sect and Great Dao Sect would each get ten thousand, with Lingxiao Sect, as the host, naturally taking a larger share, and the extra share would be deducted from the three major cultivation families.

Ten thousand top-grade spirit stones annually equivalent to half the total spirit stone production of the Southern Domain's three major two-star sects.

If the Earth Cultivation World can truly provide this amount and agree to this demand, then all six major forces in the Southern Domain Cultivation World will become affluent, and their respective forces' development is bound to double.

Ling Shuanghua also said, "Yes, Sect Master Jiang, are you sure the Earth Cultivation World can produce so many spirit stones? Can they agree?"

Jiang Yao said, "I don't know if they can provide so many spirit stones, but our sect's dignity and style cannot be compromised."

Yan Wuji and Ling Shuanghua couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Precisely, the stature of a two-star sect cannot fall.

At present, everyone discussed for a while longer and ultimately decided to negotiate according to Jiang Yao's proposal.

Jiang Yao looked at Hai Mo and Yan Wei, smiling, "Dear disciples, you should both make another trip to Earth."

Hai Mo and Yan Wei's faces turned bitter immediately, and Hai Mo looked towards his father Hai Lingfeng with a look of plea.

This task is not negotiation; it's practically sending us to our deaths.
