Chapter 1010 An Agreement is Reached, Qi Yun is Revitalized

Indeed, the reason why Lu Cun welcomed Ye Kang so warmly was simple: he saw an opportunity to annex the other five sects.

Back then, the Qiyun Sect was able to rise to the level of the Five Sects and Seven Schools, becoming a top sect in the Central Continent. However, it suffered a tragic split. Although a thousand years have passed, Lu Cun's desire to rebuild the Qiyun Sect has never disappeared.

However, his strength was limited, and after losing the sect's inheritance, he had no chance to continue to improve. Therefore, if he wanted to achieve this goal, he could only seek help from outsiders.

Fortunately, Ye Kang's goal did not conflict with his own, so he made no attempt to hide his ambition and directly stated his plan.

“I’ve contacted other independent cultivators in the area before, but they always wait for the highest bidder and have no courage. They’re unreliable. You’re different, fellow Daoist. I can see that you’re smarter than them.”

Lu Cun smiled broadly, sparing no praise for Ye Kang.

Upon hearing this, Ye Kang simply smiled and said, "Since you think I'm clever, why would you think I need to get involved in such a troublesome matter? Wouldn't it be simpler to just join a sect in the Martial Arts Alliance? Why go through all that trouble?"

Lu Cun shook his head: "That's not the case. Fellow Daoist may not understand Zhongzhou. Here, powerful clans are the foundation. Even those from humble backgrounds are still superior to those martial artists with no background. As for outsiders like you, it goes without saying that those sects would never let you join. Even if they made you a guest elder, they would be extremely wary of you and would never give you the opportunity to go to Qingzhou."

At this point, a hint of madness appeared in Lu Cun's eyes.

"But I am different. As long as you can help me revitalize the Qiyun Sect, I will definitely send you to Qingzhou, and you will go there in the highest rank of the Qiyun Sect. In addition, you can freely browse the six Great Daos and many martial arts books of the Qiyun Sect. Everything in the sect will be completely open to you!"

As Lu Cun spoke, he raised his hand, appearing somewhat excited.

In fact, this was all he could give Ye Kang, and it was also his source of confidence. After all, in the Central Continent, a rogue cultivator from another region could never obtain such treatment within those major sects.

Upon hearing this, Ye Kang fell into deep thought.

He had some knowledge of Zhongzhou and knew that what Lu Cun said was true, especially the strong clan system in Zhongzhou.

The powerful and influential families and aristocratic clans almost monopolized all martial arts resources, and independent cultivators were basically not treated as human beings.

However, reviving Qiyun would not bring him any further benefits...

Seeing Ye Kang hesitate, Lu Cun's heart sank, and he immediately played his last trump card.

"If you help me succeed, I will also be willing to tell you about a great opportunity!"

"What chance?"

"The Qi of Heaven and Earth! I observe that your Yang Qi is at its peak, you must have reached the initial stage of Yang, right? You wish to go to Qingzhou, presumably to seek Qi for a breakthrough. I happen to have news of Yin Qi here, and it is first-class Qi!"

"Really?" Ye Kang's eyes narrowed instantly.

Although Lu Cun guessed his purpose wrong, one thing was true: he was in dire need of a top-tier Yin energy to break through Yin Extinction.

Crocodile God didn't reply for a long time. He even considered going to the Linglong Chamber of Commerce to take a look. If all else failed, he would have to buy one.

Ordinary heaven and earth energy is not difficult for him, but first-class energy is too rare. He is unwilling to lower his standards, so he is very conflicted.

But now that he heard Lu Cun say he had news, Ye Kang was immediately tempted.

Seeing his performance, Lu Cun knew he had made the right bet and immediately said, "I swear on my Dao heart that this is absolutely true! And I will do everything in my power to help you seek Qi!"

"make a deal."
