Why do we need to renegotiate it now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young cultivator frowned deeply, seemingly annoyed by Xu Ping’s inquiry, his tone suddenly becoming impatient:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Before is before, now is now, the previously signed Spirit Contracts are all void. Now, a new one must be signed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, the young cultivator flicked his finger, a flash of light passed, and a quasi-Tier Three Spirit Contract shot toward Xu Ping like an arrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Spirit Contract traced an arc in the air and landed steadily in Xu Ping’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Ping took the Spirit Contract calmly, scanning it with his Divine Sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the terms inside the Spirit Contract clearly appeared in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the new Spirit Contract, the advantageous treatments he originally enjoyed, such as priority allocation of cultivation resources, were drastically reduced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whereas the requirements in terms of Alchemy were greatly increased, not only specifying the number of Pills to be refined each month but also demanding exceedingly high quality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This Seed Puppet Sect is truly greedy and insatiable!\" Xu Ping’s heart flashed coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he did not argue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as Cangyue Mountain still belonged to him, the rest, he temporarily couldn’t be bothered to calculate too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he signed his name and Mana imprint on the Spirit Contract.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At least you know your place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Xu Ping promptly signing the Spirit Contract without a word, the young cultivator nodded in satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After putting away the Spirit Contract, he left without a backward glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white-haired elder from the Purple Mountain Association remained silent throughout, standing quietly to the side, with a trace of helplessness and reluctance in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He watched the young cultivator’s departing figure, sighed slightly, seemingly feeling powerless about all that had transpired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a decade, Li Gongfeng diligently worked for the Purple Mountain Association, but now...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the young cultivator went far away, the white-haired elder slowly turned to look at Xu Ping, hesitated to speak, finally just shook his head and silently left the cave dwelling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, in the side hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This matter shouldn’t have much impact on the identity of Li Feiyu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perceiving all this through the Wood Spirit Avatar, Xu Ping slightly furrowed his brows, silently contemplating the impact of this matter on himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, he’s not overly concerned with the compensation of Spirit Stones and the like provided by the Purple Mountain Association.
