Dual Cultivation: Ying Yang is way to Chaos Chapter 549: Offerings

Lin Feng shook his head," It’s not some forbidden knowledge or anything like that, senior sister, it is known as Intent, or more specifically, True Intent.."

Sun Xiurong’s ears perked up hearing that.

"True Intent... is it related to your will, junior brother?"

Lin Feng nodded," In a way, it can be described as such, both are inseparable aspects of each other... forged through the countless trials and tribulations one faces throughout their life, but there is another aspect to True Intent.... it also reflects the depth of one’s comprehension.. so the two cannot be considered the same.."

He explained it to her in simple words, and he was certain she would comprehend it well..

Sun Xiurong nodded in understanding," I see... no wonder, even when Master reprimanded me, I used to get this feeling... but junior brother, what kind of comprehension are we talking about here... Dao?"

Lin Feng smiled slightly," Not entirely, it also reflects one’s comprehension of life, or you can also call it the hidden truths that gradually reveal themselves as one’s cultivation deepens, allowing one to perceive the profound mysteries hidden within all things..."

Sun Xiurong stopped flying, and Lin Feng stopped following her. He didn’t need to ask why because he understood her intentions.

"Junior brother, then how have you comprehended such profound truths?"

Sun Xiurong could understand her master possessing such depth, but it felt somewhat unfathomable for him to possess such profound comprehension...

Lin Feng looked her in the eyes calmly," Senior sister, I will tell you one day when the time comes.."

Sun Xiurong blinked, looking at Lin Feng’s calm expression before nodding," Ahh yes, you are full of secrets, junior brother, this is another one of them, I guess.."

Her tone was slightly filled with annoyance, which was almost impossible to perceive, but Lin Feng was able to discern it..

Lin Feng could only shake his head with a faint smile..

They moved for the rest of the way in silence before they reached their peak.

"Junior brother, I will be entering closed-door cultivation until my breakthrough, so take care and don’t wander off the peak.."

Lin Feng nodded," Don’t worry, senior sister, I will be fine.."

Sun Xiurong nodded before entering her residence, while Lin Feng went to tend the spirit herbs...

...

At a mountain hidden behind thick mist, a place where no disciple of the Mysterious Heaven Sect was permitted to set foot, known as the Elder’s Summit, a gathering was held by Xiao Canglan.

This gathering was held inside the sole pavilion of this mountain.

"What is this gathering about? Has something happened?"

Cui Shuyin entered the pavilion and took her seat.

Most of the Head Elders were already present here, with only a few remaining, but Xiao Canglan decided to begin the discussion, since Cui Shuyin was the one he had been waiting for..

"Well, a rather interesting proposal has arrived.."

Hearing this immediately drew the attention of most of the Head Elders.

"Ohh, what proposal? Is some sect or clan seeking to become our vassal faction or something?" Qin Ruoxuan asked with interest.

To them, anything beneath such a matter shouldn’t be worthy of summoning them here for serious deliberation.

Xiao Canglan shook his head and didn’t beat around the bush," It’s a marriage proposal.."

The Head Elders were a little taken aback hearing that.

"Eh? As far as I know, we aren’t a sect that establishes its connections through marriages, so how come you find this proposal worthy of discussion, Sect Master Xiao?" Yin Qianshui asked with an amused tone, and the others agreed as well.

Xiao Canglan sighed," Well, it’s from the Zhe Clan..."

Those words were enough to extinguish the lightheartedness of the atmosphere.

It wasn’t difficult for all of them to guess for whom this marriage proposal had been made...

"Well, well, what do you know, I was wondering when something like this would happen.." Yin Qianshui smiled with amusement and looked towards Cui Shuyin, who seemed to have already lost all interest in this discussion.

"Although, I know what the eventual outcome of this discussion will be, can you tell us what benefits the Zhe Clan is offering us for this proposal?"

Zhao Tianheng asked with little interest.

Others were interested as well. It was obvious that the benefits offered by the Zhe Clan would be extraordinary, otherwise they wouldn’t have dared to send this proposal, knowing full well how difficult it would be to have it accepted...

"That’s why I gathered you all here.." Xiao Canglan himself knew very well how unlikely it was for this proposal to succeed, but given the benefits, he felt it was worthy of deliberation," They have offered quite a lot.. two spirit mines, one moderate in size while the other is large enough to rival our second-largest mine, multiple pills and weapons of Embodiment grade, rare spirit herbs... enough to fill two large spirit fields, a hundred million high-grade spirit stones, one-time unrestricted access to their ancestral dimension for a hundred disciples up to the Embodiment Realm, a guest Elder of the Dominion Realm, and lastly, the most important one.."

Xiao Canglan stopped and looked at Cui Shuyin," Sword Heart of the Dao Lord Realm.."

Hearing Xiao Canglan list all the benefits made everyone look at him with slight disbelief, and when he revealed the final offering, they were shocked..

Cui Shuyin herself was somewhat shocked upon hearing about the Sword Heart of the Dao Lord Realm... although it still wouldn’t alter her decision to decline this proposal..

"Ahh, so they definitely understand what is at stake here... they have offered far more than what I had expected.." Zhao Tianheng sighed and looked at Cui Shuyin. If possible, he would want to persuade Cui Shuyin to agree, since this would benefit the sect tremendously, not to mention Sword Peak would become the most resource-rich of them all, given that most of the offerings would eventually fall into their hands.

"Unbelievable, they offered this much for merely a marriage..." Han Kuan spoke with a baffled tone.

"I am more surprised that Zhe Peng was able to convince the Zhe Clan to make such concessions..." Tian Ruhai spoke with slight interest," Don’t tell me there is some hidden condition attached to this offer.."
