Chapter 1192: A New Deal

"Payment?" Kihin was surprised to hear that. "Are you charging to help me? For real?"

Roan nodded as he replied, "100% real. Or could it be that you don't have Merit Points at hand? I don't believe it as you're the great-grandson of Core Elder Tumao, aren't you?"

Kihin then laughed out loud even more after that. "Hahaha! I apologize, but you couldn't be any wronger. Do you know what Core and Legacy Disciples have access to in exchange for Merit Point in the Core and Legacy Sectors?"

Roan shook his head in response. "I just joined your Sacred Land a few days ago. How would I know?"

Kihin had to admit Roan was right. "Well, that's true." He then took a piece of Divine Stone from his spatial ring. However, the area immediately began to fill up with Divine Energy to the point Roan compared it to the Divine Stream Lake. Kihin noticed Roan's interest before continuing, "You can feel and even see it too, right? There's so much Divine Energy that it becomes visible. This is a Rank Three Divine Stone, a very rare item in our Huring Continent. However, Core and Legacy Disciples can get access to them with Merit Points."The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at N0v3l.Bin.

Roan then asked what really mattered. "I did tell your companions that it would cost 30000 Merit Points per day to have me as a helper. However, since you don't have Merit Points to spend, how will you pay me back? I might as well tell you this. I won't work for free, even if you have a Core Elder as background." Rean and Roan wouldn't stay in the Sacred Land for much longer, so there was no need to care about the power struggles inside it.

"Payment, huh?" Kihin would be lying if he said he wasn't expecting Roan to work for free. Usually, bringing out his great-grandfather's name was enough to move the Inner and Outer Sect Disciples. He then looked at Liberf, who nodded back at him, confirming that Roan indeed would not work if there was no payment. "Is there something you're in need of at the moment? If it's not Merit Points or Rank Three Divine Stones, I might be able to help you with it. However, you will have to prove that you can really help me as a helper once you decide what it is."

Roan nodded in response. That made things a lot simpler. "In that case, do you have any body cultivation techniques that aren't available in the repository? I believe people like you should have some special ones from your families."

Kihin narrowed his eyes in response. As a Core Disciple, he obviously cultivated a body cultivation technique. Without it, it was almost impossible to make it into the Core Sector. Even his great-grandfather wouldn't allow him to enter it, whether it was through the backdoor or not. However, his family's techniques were obviously not supposed to be shown to outsiders.

After pondering a bit, Kihin offered, "Let's do it like this. Help me first with the development of my new skill. If it turns out to be successful, I will allow you to choose one of the techniques I have as long as you sign a Soul Binding Contract. Obviously, the contract is to impede you from sharing information regarding the technique."

"Deal!" Roan immediately agreed with Kihin.. He wanted to see just what kind of technique someone with such a background would have. "So, what type of technique are you trying to create?"
