Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree

Chapter 789 - 293: Negotiating the Price, Dao Holy Object (2)

If we truly want to present too much substance, it’s difficult for him to agree instantly; he needs to discuss it with those above, otherwise, it would be empty talk.Huang Zhiyan is very confident, once she reported Ji Jingqiu’s achievements, the high-ranking officials in the palace attached great importance.

The disciples jointly nurtured by the Five Virtues Palace and Qingtian Temple couldn’t defeat Ji Jingqiu, so drawing him in could solve a majority of problems at once.

Tianqingzi feels no pressure whatsoever.

The Ancestor Master has said that as long as what he brings back is Divine Prohibition, no matter who it is, regardless of what promises were made beforehand, they would acknowledge it!

So he decisively finalized:

"Heavenly Saint Lake can accept any request from Brother."

Huang Zhiyan: "?"

Who are you competing with?

Bai Yuan frowned, thinking about those two True Saints from Heavenly Saint Lake; is it an uneven distribution or are they trying to bottom out?

One Divine Prohibition is not enough, do they truly want them both to transmit the Dao?

For a moment, he really dared not rashly "catch up."

From his knowledge, indeed there is continuous contention within the temple for this "Sect Hierarch" position.

If he could truly win over a Divine Prohibition, the Ancestor Master would surely be pleased, but the people below might not be so; coupled with the need to offer vast resources...

Bai Yuan felt a headache, knowing full well his own affairs, and feared that while things might proceed smoothly now, relations could easily sour in the future, proving that girl from Phoenix Blood Palace right.

Huang Zhiyan was about to speak when Ji Jingqiu said:

"What I seek isn’t much; I’m about to break through the Heavenly Human Boundary, needing a major breakthrough requiring a Divine Medicine to solidify the foundation of Inner Heaven and Earth."

Huang Zhiyan furrowed her brow slightly, a Divine Medicine... Which kind of "Divine Medicine" is it?

Tianqingzi laughed: "Under Heavenly Saint Lake’s governance, there is no lack of ’medicine fields’; which rare Great Medicine does Brother Ji want?"

Ji Jingqiu sincerely said: "As for the category? It’s not strongly required, as long as it’s ’Divine Medicine’."

Tianqingzi’s smile froze on his face.

After a moment, he probed: "Brother Ji means, a ’Divine Medicine’ above Heavenly Medicine?"

Ji Jingqiu nodded.

The scene fell into brief silence.

Especially Tianqingzi.

Initially, it wasn’t that he was confident; rather, he hadn’t anticipated that the Divine Medicine Ji Jingqiu referred to was really just "Divine Medicine."

This term shouldn’t come from the mouths of juniors like them.

The "Heavenly" in Heavenly Medicine implies Innate, and innately bears some Dao Pattern; for Heavenly Persons, it’s a rare treasure, even useful to Heavenly Kings.

As for Divine Medicine...

Its rarity lies not in whom it’s useful for, but in its extreme scarcity, to the extent that it’s hard to find across various realms.

At least Tianqingzi hasn’t seen it, or even heard of it within a dojo.

"...Is this all the compensation Brother Ji needs?" Tianqingzi tentatively asked, thinking that, rare as Divine Medicine is, the two Ancestor Masters should probably have some in storage?

At that time... Pluck one?

"For breaking through the Heavenly Human, I require a Divine Medicine as the foundation," Ji Jingqiu said tactfully, conveying everything without saying anything explicitly.

The three instantly understood.

This is about receiving payment in batches, and every time it’s done only after receiving payment.

Huang Zhiyan smiled at the show, curious to see how the person who just boasted would end this.

In Phoenix Blood Palace, there are only a few Divine Medicines, all planted in the Ancestor Master’s dojo, treasured by the Ancestor Master; actually offering one to attract Ji Jingqiu isn’t impossible, but it requires the Ancestor Master’s approval, which she doesn’t have the authority to represent.

The problem is that breaking through the Heavenly Human requires a Divine Medicine; what about breaking through to the Heavenly King in the future?

Is it three layers of Heaven for Heavenly Persons...?

Tianqingzi recalled the Ancestor Master’s words, and said, "Heavenly Saint Lake accepts!"

Bai Yuan cursed internally, calling them a rich bunch of fools, alongside a wave of envy and resentment; Divine Medicine, he merely consumed a few special pills and potions made of Heavenly Medicine as raw material when he achieved Heavenly Person Perfection.

Huang Zhiyan breathed deeply: "Brother Ji, give me a few days."

Ji Jingqiu nodded slightly.

At this moment.

Inside Ji Jingqiu’s Inner Heaven and Earth, a conversation was taking place.

"So, which of these three should I choose?"

Rationally, Ji Jingqiu leaned more towards Phoenix Blood Palace, due to Marshal Ji’s connection; this faction has closer ties to the Federation.

Nothing is clear about Holy Temple.

Heavenly Saint Lake... His relationship with them is a bit complex.

Can’t really go and become Tian Qiu, can he?

But then again, with Tianqingzi sought him out this time, they likely suspect that the so-called Tian Qiu is related to him.

Hel calmly said: "Besides Holy Temple, you should choose both of the others; that way, you’d have two Divine Medicines."

Ji Jingqiu was speechless, should adults really choose to have it all?

Suddenly, he had a dawning realization: "Are you suggesting I take only the benefits without performing the tasks? That’s difficult, these factions aren’t foolish, surely they would require contracts."

Ji Jingqiu shook his head; he had thought about this before but ultimately deemed it unrealistic.

Hel thought silently, this guy really considered taking and enjoying without doing the work?

Hel warned him: "For your own good, you better not think that way; if you lack connection with them it’s fine, but once karma ties you, if you break the oath first, then you’ll learn what a Saint’s means are."

Ji Jingqiu cautiously asked: "Not even the Great Universe can stop it?"

"The Great Universe also has the Heavenly Destiny River, and all living things have karma and destiny."

Ji Jingqiu frowned, the means at True Saint Level exceed his understanding.

"What they want you to do is nothing more than Dao Establishment."

Hel added,

"They are unlikely to truly give you core legacies, at most some ’marginal materials,’ serving as media for entering the Great Universe later on."

"Establishing one is establishing, establishing two is also establishing, there’s no difference; you’ve already found your own core for Dao Establishment, which you can detach at any moment in the future without impacting you."
