Chapter 315 Bargaining with the Lord of Chaos City! The Lord of Chaos City Invites You to Join the Hong Alliance
"Besides, I have so many disciples. When they become kings in the future, I, as their teacher, must bestow upon them some precious treasures."
The Chaos City Lord said speechlessly, "Being your disciple is truly a blessing. You're already preparing precious treasures for these little brats who haven't even reached the Immortal realm yet. Will you prepare even more supreme treasures for them once they become Kings?"
Zhou Ze's eyes brightened slightly: "That won't be the case. My plan is this: when they become kings, I'll give them some powerful treasures for protection; when they become venerables, I'll give them some supreme treasures for protection!"
"Furthermore, once I become a Venerable One, I should be able to mentor other Venerable Ones. At that time, I can use the points earned from collecting valuable treasures to guide them!"
"I believe there are many venerable ones who are willing to contribute a very small amount of money—"
The Lord of Chaos City was speechless and choked with emotion. He had originally intended to fight for more benefits for his clan, but who would have thought that Zhou Ze would be so far ahead because of his casual remark?
"Ahem," the Chaos City Lord coughed and said, "Zhou Ze, even the strongest genius needs to venture out on their own. Ultimately, they have to rely on themselves. Your approach is too paternalistic and not conducive to the growth of your disciples."
Zhou Ze thought for a moment and replied seriously, "That's not the case. I know my disciples well; they don't think they're invincible just because they have a few more precious treasures or anything like that!"
"Senior, you haven't even entered the realm of mindfulness. You don't know, anyone who has entered the realm of mindfulness can be fully aware of all the movements within their own heart, and can completely control their own mind, so there's absolutely no need to worry about forcing growth!"
"As for my disciples, only two haven't yet reached the initial stage of their mental cultivation. Don't worry, I will carefully consider bestowing upon them precious and supreme treasures only once they have reached that stage!"
The Chaos City Lord's lips twitched involuntarily, and he was speechless for a moment.
"Zhou Ze, that's true, but you also have to consider the sake of our human race!" The Chaos City Lord pleaded earnestly. At this point, he could only try to persuade Zhou Ze by appealing to the greater good.
"Look how expensive your fees are! Many Venerable Ones will definitely be reluctant to pay. If their favored disciples or descendants go out to train and end up being enslaved, it would be a loss for our entire human race!"
"After all, those who are favored by the Venerable Ones are generally quite talented. Compared to others, their probability of breaking through to Immortality or even becoming a Venerable One is much higher."
"If you set your price so high, it will be detrimental to the development of our human race!"
"You have now created your own 'Saint Master' plane. In time, you will practically become the 'Saint Master' of our human race. You must learn to focus on the entire human race—"
"Don't you think so? If every human being acted in their own self-interest, we wouldn't have become one of the six most powerful races in the universe."
.....
The Chaos City Lord launched into a moralistic "blackmail" and emotional appeal, leaving Zhou Ze bewildered. "Wait, wait, wait!" Zhou Ze raised his hand to stop the Chaos City Lord's earnest persuasion, and said with a wry smile:
"Senior, I am merely a minor king. You should speak those words to the rulers of other kingdoms and the lords of the universe—"
"Furthermore, we Chinese have an old saying: 'When poor, one should cultivate one's own virtue; when successful, one should benefit all under heaven!'"
"Obviously, I'm far from reaching that level yet; I definitely need to think about myself first!"
"Senior, don't you think so?"
"Besides, you see, I've never forgotten our human race. I've always been doing what I can for our people—"
"Look at me, I'm willing to sacrifice my own cultivation time to go to the 'Saint Master' plane to guide others for the sake of humanity. You should know I don't lack those points. "And I also taught the 'Mental Cultivation Method' to my people without reservation—"
Zhou Ze looked compassionate and heartfelt.
The Lord of Chaos sighed, "Let's lower the price a bit. Giving those young people of the human race a chance to save their lives will also enrich our human race's foundation!"
"Ten Treasure Points are still too expensive; even many Venerable Ones are reluctant to spend such a large sum of money!"
"Alright, senior, since you've put it this way, how about those 5 treasure points?" Zhou Ze sighed.
"Three treasure points, you can earn three treasures by using a special secret technique once, that's ruthless enough!" The Chaos City Lord looked at Zhou Ze quietly.
"Alright," Zhou Ze said helplessly, "but I have a small request. Could you give me that imperial armor first?"
"Look, I just killed a peak-level Immortal King, and a Zerg infiltrator at that. From what I can tell, that Zerg infiltrator was probably directly enslaved by the Zerg Queen! That's much more valuable than a peak-level Immortal King from the outer battlefield!"
"Alright!" the Chaos City Lord said with a slight smile.
His goal had been achieved. As for the Imperial Armor, it was originally prepared for Zhou Ze. In a sense, it would just gather dust in the treasury and would be of no use at all.
Seeing that the Lord of Chaos City had agreed, Zhou Ze smiled and said, "That's great, senior. I'll be going now."
This time, he had achieved his goal, which exceeded his expectations. Originally, he only hoped to get 1 Treasure Point for each use of the secret technique, which would have been quite remarkable. However, after bargaining with the Chaos City Lord, he was able to raise the price to 3 Treasure Points!
This is very cool.
Zhou Ze was about to leave when the Lord of Chaos called out to him, "Wait, there's something else!"
Zhou Ze asked suspiciously, "Senior, is there anything else?"
The Chaos City Lord smiled slightly and said, "It's like this, are you familiar with the Hong Alliance?"
"Hongmeng? I know a little about it. It seems that only those who have reached the King Immortal level can join Hongmeng. It's a very high-end organization."
Zhou Ze pretended not to know.
The Chaos City Lord naturally assumed Zhou Ze was unaware of the Hong Alliance, and explained, "The Hong Alliance was founded by my teacher. It's an alliance formed primarily by our human race, uniting a large number of other races! Only those with at least the power of a King-level Immortal are qualified to become official members of the Hong Alliance."
Zhou Ze thought for a moment and said, "Senior, do you mean you want me to join the Hong Alliance?"
"But given my special circumstances, I'm probably not suitable to join, right?"
The Lord of Chaos City spoke up, "It might have been inappropriate before, but once the Imperial Armor is in your hands, coupled with your will comparable to a Venerable, as long as you don't meet with anyone from the Hong Alliance, who dares to say you aren't a Venerable?"
"Besides, you yourself said that if one's will is inferior to yours, then one is not qualified to fight you. With your will comparable to that of a Venerable, you can be said to be truly invincible below the Venerable level, and there is no difference between you and a weak Venerable."
Zhou Ze thought for a moment and nodded, "That's true. But senior, what's your purpose in having me join the Hong Alliance? Why bring this up all of a sudden?"
"Of course there are," the Chaos City Lord said with a mysterious smile.
