So it’s hard to understand, since these things are not inevitable, why should there be continuous compromises and concessions? It seems illogical!
Mo Tianji chuckled softly and said, "Moreover, you've all seen Young Master Wei's special ability. He can make flowers bloom in the harshest winter and can accelerate the growth of spiritual medicine that would normally take a millennium, ripening in just a few years, or even a few months; his cultivation level may not seem extraordinary, but this racial ability of his is unparalleled in the Nine Heavens, truly one of a kind!"
"We, on the other hand, are aiming to ascend to the Nine Heavens Pavilion."
"Chu Yang possesses a unique skill to fuse the ninefold pill; while Young Master Wei can stimulate the growth of all spiritual medicine for Chu Yang's use. If Young Master Wei and Chu Yang join forces... what will the outcome be?" Mo Tianji asked steadily.
Mo Qingwu and Mo Lei Er gasped in unison.
One can fuse life and death to enhance cultivation with the ninefold pill; the other can stimulate any spiritual medicine. If these two come together...
The combination of these two would mean carrying a treasure trove with them! As long as the brothers prepare a pill or two before each battle, each person would be akin to Rui Butong from the Phoenix Clan!
Invincible!
This is the legendary ultimate luxurious dream combination! A legendary pairing that even myths and miracles cannot describe!
"This combination would make anyone in the world, any force, envious; even in the Nine Heavens Pavilion, the same applies. Yet this outcome contradicts Young Master Wei's lifelong aspirations; he... never even considered ascending, so this legend cannot be realized."
"But if Chu Yang helps him retrieve the Spring of Life and assists him in restoring the City of Spirits, then for the Spirit Clan, it would be like being reborn! For Young Master Wei, the only elf, it would be an enormous favor, a debt that could never be repaid!"
"Even without mentioning their friendship; just this great favor alone is enough for Young Master Wei to serve him for lifetimes! If Chu Yang ascends to the Nine Heavens Pavilion, what should Young Master Wei do? What can he do?"
"Can he just watch his benefactor fight bloodily while he enjoys the carefree environment created by his benefactor and brothers?"
"With Young Master Wei's character, how could he possibly do that?"
"But if he follows Chu Yang, what about Young Master Wei's lifelong wishes? He has so many concerns..."
At this point, Mo Tianji sighed deeply, and Mo Qingwu and Mo Lei Er echoed his sigh.
Indeed, this was a dilemma.
Difficult to balance, a direct and unsolvable knot!
"So, this matter has turned into a deadlock." Mo Tianji said solemnly, "And how could Chu Yang let Young Master Wei be in such a predicament? He is even less willing to force Young Master Wei to do something he is unwilling to do. Thus, Chu Yang's current actions are in fact resolving this deadlock—he is treating this matter purely as a transaction! A transaction filled with ‘exploitation,’ a blatant deal where both sides owe nothing to each other after the deal is made!"
"His current stance, fundamentally speaking, is one of no longer recognizing Young Master Wei as his friend; they are merely objects of mutual benefit; and Chu Yang himself is also waiting for a price, desperately extorting, trying to take advantage in every possible way."
"This way, both sides are left with only a relationship of mutual interests. Once the City of Spirits is restored, Chu Yang can achieve his goal and withdraw. Even if Young Master Wei wants to repay something, Chu Yang can refuse firmly."
"Essentially telling Young Master Wei, you don't owe me anything!"
"This way, Young Master Wei's heart will feel somewhat better."
"Therefore, Chu Yang is doing this now, and all of us are trying to cooperate. Yet no one has spoken it out loud; you only see the surface of things without thinking deeper."
"The more Chu Yang extorts, the more Young Master Wei is willing to accept it! That’s the idea."
