Chapter 179: Whoever Offers More, I'll Help Them

However, the news that followed immediately caused the elders' mood to plummet—Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing actually used this advantage to carry out "taking advantage of a fire to rob", trying to reap the greatest benefit from the conflict between the Soul Clan and the Three Clans Alliance.

The elders' anger stemmed from their deep-seated beliefs and positions.

In their eyes, the Soul Clan had long been labeled as "evil", while they themselves were the representatives of justice.

That Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing's practice of playing both sides for personal gain was, in their view, undoubtedly shameless.

Although the elders were angry at Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing's behavior, not a single one suggested giving up on courting the Grand Xuwu Ancient Dragon Clan.

They were all very clear about the weight of two Eight-Star Dou Sheng.

The addition of two Eight-Star Dou Sheng is an unstoppable force for any faction, enough to tip the balance of the entire situation.

Under the current circumstances, both the Soul Clan and the Three Clans Alliance fully understand the importance of the Grand Xuwu Ancient Dragon Clan.

They understood that if they could not bring these two Eight-Star Dou Sheng into their own camp, at the very least they had to ensure they would not join the Soul Clan's side.

Otherwise, once the Soul Clan gained such powerful support, it would truly become unstoppable...

Therefore, although the elders were dissatisfied with Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing's actions, they still chose to temporarily set aside personal feelings and prioritize the bigger picture.

Meanwhile, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing was not idle.

After finishing negotiations with the Fire Spirit Fairy, he directly spread the news that the Three Clans Alliance wanted to recruit him and Ziyan.

This also included the conditions offered by the Three Clans, and so on...

Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing was basically telling the Soul Clan: The Three Clans are coming to recruit us—what are you waiting for?

If it were before, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing's move would undoubtedly be risky.

But now Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing is fearless, firmly believing that neither side dares to touch him! Upon learning that Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing had made his recruitment plans public, the experts of the Three Clans Alliance were so angry they vomited blood.

They had originally carefully plotted a plan, hoping to quickly bring Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing and Ziyan, these two Eight-Star Dou Sheng, over to their side before the Soul Clan noticed.

However, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing's move completely shattered their plans.

Even if Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing had not actively spread the news, the Hun Tiandi, as the most cunning and perceptive clan leader on the continent, would likely have noticed the Three Clans Alliance's intention to recruit the Grand Xuwu Ancient Dragon Clan.

What a joke? The Flame Clan sending people to the Beast Domain to look for the Grand Xuwu Ancient Dragon caused quite a stir—how could it escape the Hun Tiandi's eyes?

With the Hun Tiandi's mind, he could completely infer the Three Clans Alliance's true intentions from the Flame Clan's actions in the Beast Domain and a few other clues.

And the news Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing spread also confirmed the Hun Tiandi's speculation.

The Hun Tiandi also understood Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing's meaning.

The addition of two Eight-Star Dou Sheng would give the Soul Clan an overwhelming advantage against the Three Clans Alliance.

As long as the Soul Clan added two Eight-Star Dou Sheng, wiping out the Three Clans Alliance would be no difficulty! Therefore, although the Hun Tiandi might notice Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing's intention to profit from the chaos, he still quickly responded, sending people to negotiate with Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing.

In the Hun Tiandi's view, exchanging two Strange Fires and some Nine-Grade Treasure Pills for the addition of two Eight-Star Dou Sheng was an extremely profitable deal.

Although these resources are precious, they are trivial compared to the power that can directly change the situation. Moreover, the Hun Tiandi believes that the resources he is now spending will be recovered in the future through other means, and even yield more...

Both sides wanted to talk to Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing, fearing the other would get there first.

Faced with simultaneous recruitment by the Three Clans Alliance and the Soul Clan, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing was not polite, directly saying, "Just lay out your terms; I'll help whichever side offers more."

This approach undoubtedly left both sides feeling somewhat caught off guard, even thinking Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing was a bit "shameless".

However, at the negotiating table, profit is the ultimate goal, and Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing skillfully used this to firmly keep the initiative in his own hands.

Although both sides secretly cursed Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing's shamelessness behind his back, after doing so they still had to put on a thick-skinned face and lay out their terms.

After a fierce competition, the Three Clans Alliance offered extremely generous terms.

These conditions not only included five precious Strange Fire sub-fires—Gold Emperor Blazing Heaven Sub-fire, Eight Wastes Destruction Flame Sub-fire, Nine Nether Golden Ancestor Fire Sub-fire, Crimson Lotus Karma Fire Sub-fire, Volcanic Stone Flame Sub-fire, and Fire Cloud Water Flame Sub-fire—but also came with a large amount of pill resources, including thirty Nine-Grade Treasure Pills and a hundred Eighth-Grade Pills.

The Ancient Flame Thunder Three Clans altogether possessed six Strange Fires.

However, these Strange Fires have all been refined by the clan's experts, becoming part of their strength.

Therefore, when faced with the need to produce Strange Fire as a condition to attract Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing and Ziyan, the Three Clans faced a difficult choice.

No matter which Strange Fire they stripped away, the cost would be too great.

Thus, after weighing the pros and cons, the Three Clans chose to use sub-fire instead of complete Strange Fire.

Although sub-fire is not as strong or complete as full Strange Fire, its power is still formidable.

Likewise, the Soul Clan offered equally tempting conditions.

Specifically, Nine Nether Sharp Flame, Turtle Spirit Earth Fire, Yin-Yang Flame, and Xuwu Tun Yan Sub-fire, along with fifty Nine-Grade Treasure Pills and a hundred Eighth-Grade Pills.

When the Medicine Clan was wiped out, although the Medicine Clan people detonated many Nine-Grade Treasure Pills, some would still remain; plus, the Soul Clan also has Hun Xuzi, a Ninth-Grade Alchemist, capable of producing so many Nine-Grade Treasure Pills, which is hardly surprising.

Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing secretly thought, "What a good deal!" I wanted Strange Fire, but the Three Clans sent a bunch of sub-fire! What surprised Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing even more was that the Yin-Yang Flame, which never appeared in the original story, is actually in the Soul Clan's hands.

However, this Strange Fire ranks twenty-first, lower than the Green Lotus Core Fire, so he was merely surprised and did not develop much interest in it.

Some sub-fires of high-ranking Strange Fires, though their power is not inferior to that of lower-ranking Strange Fires, if one wishes to increase strength by refining Strange Fire, the complete Strange Fire definitely has an advantage over sub-fire.

Moreover, the sub-fire of the second-ranked Xuwu Tun Yan also leaves other sub-fires far behind.

In comparison, the conditions offered by the Ancient Flame Thunder Three Clans are inferior to those of the Soul Clan.

So, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing asked the Three Clans Alliance whether they wanted to increase their offer.

Yan Jin gritted his teeth, saying to add one more Fire Cloud Water Flame, which is a Strange Fire, not sub-fire! Yan Jin proposed using the Fire Cloud Water Flame as a bargaining chip to win Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing's allegiance, and this was indeed a difficult decision.

The Fire Cloud Water Flame, refined by the Flame Clan's Four-Star Dou Sheng Elder Tuesday, is not only a precious resource of the Flame Clan but also an important part of Tuesday's personal strength.

Therefore, getting Tuesday to detach the already-refined Strange Fire is undoubtedly a huge sacrifice.
