Chapter 65: Advice
In the bamboo pavilion, the atmosphere was depressing, and there was only the fragrance of tea.
Sometimes, don't doubt a person's determination, especially someone who puts life and death aside.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Mei Xinghong laughed boldly and broke the embarrassment and said, "I have heard of Xiaoyou Zhuo's character, but I don't mean anything to threaten. Just now, the owner of the village was just joking with his friend."
“No obstacle.”
Zhuo Yunxian waved his hand and said generously: "I know the island owner of the village is testing me, and I also know that the island owners do not trust me very much. But it doesn't matter... The reason why I chose the Three Immortal Island is not that I think the three island owners are pure and kind, but because it is more suitable for me."
“…”
Wu Antong's eyes twitched, and he secretly wiped his cold sweat in his heart, for fear that the three island masters would slap Zhuo Yunxian to death in anger!
What kind of character is pure and kind... Isn't this a slap in the face?
Although this is the truth, isn’t it a bit too much to tell it in front of the three island owners?
Sure enough, the three island owners' old faces were a little overwhelmed. Fortunately, their qi cultivation skills were very good after years of ups and downs, and they did not turn against each other on the spot.
Gongyang Yushan snorted coldly and said, "Boy, you should talk about it carefully. Why do you think the Three Immortal Island is suitable? If you can't say a word, don't blame me for turning against you!"
"good."
Zhuo Yunxian was not pretentious and said slowly: "First, my origin is relatively clean and my identity is very clear. I am incompatible with the Tang Dynasty and have no good feelings for other dynasties, especially in the battle of Longya Port, the Five Dynasties are probably listed on the wanted list... Therefore, even if the three island masters do not welcome me, they will not hate me too much. At most, they think that I speak wildly and are an irrelevant fool."
The three island masters nodded slightly, expressing their approval of the words. Moreover, they did investigate and found that Zhuo Yunxian's background was clear, and it was absolutely impossible for him to be a spy sent by any force.
"Second, I have my value."
Zhuo Yunxian's tone became stronger and he continued: "I heard that Sanxian Island is now competing for a mine source with Xuanming Island. Both sides have equal strength, but they are stalemate. If the time goes on for too long, it will inevitably be kicked by other strengths..."
"Oh?" Zhuang Xuyao sneered: "Everyone can speak big, can you have any way to control the situation?"
“There is always a way.”
Zhuo Yunxian nodded and said, "Maybe the owner of the village thinks I am a useless person, but I can make thunder fire pills, and even with enough materials, I can still refine thunder fire spirit beads. I believe my value will not disappoint you."
"What!? You...you can have the Thunder Fire Essence Beads!?"
The three island masters were moved, and Wu Antong was even more shocked. Although Zhuo Yunxian had given him a thunder and fire spirit bead, he did not think that the other party could refine it. After all, this thing is too valuable.
OK, now they finally understand why the Momen Immortal Sect would bite Zhuo Yunxian to the point of not letting go. Even if Zhuo Yunxian does not have the inheritance of the Tiangong lineage, the refining skills of the Thunder Fire Essence Beads are enough to make many people very moved.
Zhuo Yunxian knew that it was not a humble time, so he admitted: "Although I do not have the inheritance of the Tiangong lineage, Yan Bo knew my skills, and I basically know, including the method of refining Thunder Fire Pills and Thunder Fire Essence Beads... However, it is not easy to refine Thunder Fire Essence Beads, and it can only pose a threat to the immortal cultivators in the Shuangqiao Realm, and it is not very effective against masters in the Life Occurrence Realm."
"Of course we know this."
Mei Xinghong couldn't suppress his inner pleasure and said, "The major forces in the Chaos Star Sea have long had a tacit understanding. The immortal masters in the realm of the life hijack are usually on the side and will not take action easily. If we use the Thunder Fire Essence Beads as a surprise attack, Xuanming Island will definitely suffer heavy casualties. If two or three Double Bridge Masters of Xuanming Island can be killed, we will occupy that mine vein!"
"That's right! You kid can really control the situation!"
Zhuang Xuyao smiled and showed joy. His attitude towards Zhuo Yunxian became much gentler.
"Three island owners, I'm sorry..."
Zhuo Yunxian interrupted the laughter of the three of them and shook his head and said, "I don't recommend that the three island owners monopolize the mineral vein. After all, Xuanming Island is also good. If you really want to do it, it will only lead to both sides and let others reap the benefits of the fisherman."
Mei Xinghong frowned slightly, but did not express his opinion.
Zhuang Xuyao took a fancy to Zhuo Yunxian's value, so he said patiently: "My friend Zhuo, we have thought about peace talks, but Gu Qianchou, the island owner of Xuanming Island, is a master of the Six Octopus realm. He relies on his cultivation to be slightly higher than us, and his words and deeds are very strong, and he refuses to negotiate peace talks, so we can't stand it."
“That was before.”
Zhuo Yunxian said with lip service: "The basis of negotiations must be carried out on the basis of equal strength. In the past, Sanxian Island was at a disadvantage, so Xuan Ming Island naturally refused to give up the benefits. However, with the threat of the Thunder and Fire Essence Beads, if Xuan Ming Island does not want to lose his bamboo basket, he will have to compromise."
Gongyang Yushan said coldly: "Boy Zhuo, you have said that with the Thunder Fire Essence Bead, we can override Xuanming Island. Since that's the case, why should we negotiate? Just occupy the ore veins directly!"
Zhuo Yunxian said undeniably: "Have the Lord of Gongyang Island ever thought that without the intervention of Xuan Ming Island, wouldn't Sanxian Island face the peeping of many forces alone? Not to mention whether the three island masters can suppress everything, even if they can shock everyone, it must be very hard. If you are not careful, the foundation of Sanxian Island may be destroyed..."
"On the contrary, cooperating with Xuanming Island can not only win over a powerful ally, but also avoid many unnecessary troubles. Once something happens, you can also ask Xuanming Island for help... After all, this Chaos Star Sea is not only the power of the human race, but also many strange beasts of the sea race, and dangers are everywhere."
After listening to Zhuo Yunxian's analysis, the three island masters and Wu Antong stared at each other in a daze, feeling a little surprised.
They did not expect that it was rare for a sixteen-year-old boy to have such insights and strategies! What's even more rare is that the other party seemed to be sincerely considering it from the standpoint of Sanxian Island.
As Zhuo Yunxian said, if you combine, you will benefit from both sides, and if you divide, you will harm from both sides. How could the three island owners not understand this principle?
Especially the city lord Wu Antong, although his cultivation level is not as good as the three island lords, he is in charge of the Three Immortal City and knows all the forces well and has a good overall view. Therefore, he agrees with Zhuo Yunxian's suggestion very much. As for the previous casualties and contradictions between the two forces, it is not a problem at all.
In the sea of chaos, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.
