Chapter 167 Compromise
Chapter 167 Compromise
Arriving at the entrance of the secret realm, Bu Shensuan looked at Qin Shou with a serious expression and said, "Fellow Daoist Qin, let's get this straight. You're bringing someone in at the last minute, so that person's share must be deducted from your portion. The shares of the rest of us absolutely cannot change."
Qin Shou nodded repeatedly and quickly replied, "Of course, of course. It's all as we agreed before, and the rules definitely can't change!" He knew in his heart that if this kind of thing wasn't handled well, it could easily cause unnecessary trouble.
Originally, they had agreed on the distribution ratio: Ni Yue's side would take 20%, Bu Shensuan's side would also take 20%, Wang Fugui's side would also take 20%, Dan Daozi would take 10%, and Qin Shou would take 30% on his own.
Qin Shou, Ni Yue, and Bu Shensuan could each choose one treasure they obtained in advance, and then the remaining treasures would be distributed among the others according to their cultivation needs.
This distribution method was relatively fair, ensuring that everyone received a certain share and avoiding conflicts caused by unequal distribution of benefits.
Now that Qin Shou was adding Shen Gongbao at the last minute, Qin Shou would have to give Shen Gongbao a share of the resources.
As for how much to allocate, the others wouldn't interfere.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, everyone else's share is 10%, and your share will also be 10%. What do you think?" Qin Shou transmitted his voice to Shen Gongbao (Ao Yuan) to discuss.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, you've concealed so much information from me. A 10% share is a bit too little, isn't it!" Ao Yuan replied via voice transmission.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, this secret realm was discovered by my ancestors. I'm sharing this information with you, so naturally, I should take the lion's share. Moreover, you're not the only one who can break the restrictions. A 10% share is already quite a lot," Qin Shou said via voice transmission.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, I may not know the location of the ruins, but you'll eventually have to come out of this void secret realm, right? If I make this news public, are you sure you can keep the opportunity?" Ao Yuan sneered as he transmitted his voice.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, you wouldn't want the news of the ruins to be exposed, would you!"
"… …" Qin Shou's face darkened.
They hadn't even entered the secret realm yet, and if Ao Yuan wanted to leave or directly reveal the information, there was absolutely nothing Qin Shou could do about it.
Taking a step back, even if they entered the secret realm, as long as Shen Gongbao didn't threaten the others and provoke public anger, those people wouldn't stand up to help Qin Shou.
Unless Qin Shou chose to bleed heavily and promise to increase the shares of the others, but in that case, Qin Shou's losses would be even greater.
"Sigh!" Qin Shou sighed helplessly and compromised, "Fellow Daoist Shen, I can privately compensate you with a sum of top-grade spirit stones as a supplement. What do you think?"
"One thousand top-grade spirit stones, plus the priority to choose three treasures, how about that?" Ao Yuan directly made an exorbitant demand.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, the shares have already been divided, and I don't have the authority to make them agree to your request now," Qin Shou said with a gloomy expression, clearly unhappy with Ao Yuan's demand.
The others watched all of this with great interest, without interrupting. They knew that Qin Shou was negotiating terms with Shen Gongbao.
"Alright… alright, since Fellow Daoist Qin can't make the decision, then I'll take another step back. One thousand top-grade spirit stones, plus the right to choose any three treasures from Fellow Daoist Qin's treasures."
"Fellow Daoist Qin, if you still don't agree to this request, then I'll have no choice but to send out the news of the ruins."
"I think there will definitely be people outside who are interested in betting on you at that time."
Qin Shou's face was ashen, his hands clenched into fists, his heart filled with anger and unwillingness.
But considering that the current situation was unfavorable to him, Qin Shou finally gritted his teeth and agreed to Shen Gongbao's request.
Shen Gongbao nodded in satisfaction and laughed loudly, "Haha! Fellow Daoist Qin is indeed straightforward! Since that's the case, let's set off!"
Qin Shou took a deep breath, trying to calm the anger in his heart, and then said coldly, "Okay!"
Then he turned to the others and shouted, "Everyone, it's getting late, let's go in quickly." His face was very ugly, obviously in a terrible mood.
Seeing that the two had reached an agreement, the other seven didn't say anything. Qin Shou had found this person himself, so they could only say he was suffering the consequences of his own actions.
The group exchanged glances, used special techniques to connect with each other, and then entered the secret realm together.
Whoosh!
The world spun, and a sense of weightlessness came over them. The group appeared on a desolate hill.
"Is this the void secret realm?" Qu You'er exclaimed with excitement.
Qu You'er's eyes swept around, her heart filled with curiosity and anticipation.
The others were also full of curiosity about this place, but even more so, they were vigilant.
No one knew what would happen next, so everyone carefully observed the surrounding environment.
Not far away, some scattered black dots were crawling around. Upon closer inspection, they realized that it was a group of low-level void creatures.
They came in various shapes and forms, some crawling, some flying, some running, each emitting a unique aura. Upon closer observation, one could distinguish void ants, void rats, void birds, void worms, and even void fish soaring in the sky…
These creatures were all unique derivatives of the void secret realm. They lived and reproduced in this mysterious environment, forming a unique ecosystem.
"Qin Shou, lead the way!" Ni Yue's clear and cold voice rang out, interrupting everyone's curiosity about these void creatures.
"Oh! Okay, Fairy Ni," Qin Shou reacted as if waking from a dream and quickly replied.
Immediately, Qin Shou took out a map of the void secret realm from his chest and studied it carefully.
This map had obviously been looked at by him countless times, but at this moment, he still stared intently at the lines and symbols on it, as well as the red circles, trying to find the correct route from them.
The map information left by Qin Shou's ancestors was deeply imprinted in Qin Shou's sea of consciousness.
Now, Qin Shou's secret realm map was marked with various symbols, hiding the pre-made marks within it. It could be said that no one except Qin Shou could find the true location of the ruins from it.
… … …
On the other side, Ye Xiu stumbled around in the void secret realm, searching for void creatures that could condense the essence of the void.
And Ye Xiu's location was actually not far from the secret realm that Qin Shou was talking about.
In the original trajectory, Ye Xiu, who came to Tianshu City to cultivate, accidentally heard the conversation between Qin Shou and the others. Then, after the others separated, Ye Xiu appeared in front of Qin Shou, and after some threats, Ye Xiu joined Qin Shou's team.
Under the influence of the halo of luck, the group encountered dangers along the way, experienced twists and turns, and finally came to the lost secret realm. After some efforts, Ye Xiu also relied on his previous life experience to open the lost secret realm.
Therefore, Ye Xiu also attracted the attention of Ni Yue, a genius girl in the art of formation.
Now, Ye Xiu's life was disrupted by Ao Yuan. Ye Xiu, who had become a woman, barely arrived in the upper realm three months before the opening of the void secret realm. Because of her low cultivation level and getting into trouble with the Prince, Ye Xiu did not join Qin Shou's team as in the original trajectory.
But in the dark, the influence of luck still existed. For this kind of great opportunity, if Ao Yuan did not interfere, it would mostly still fall into Ye Xiu's hands.
The only difference was the process.
Now Ao Yuan was hidden in Qin Shou's team, plus Ni Yue, a woman with a close relationship with Ye Xiu, meeting Ye Xiu was already destined!
