Chapter 697: Contacting the Lower Realm, A Successful Connection

Faced with his grandmaster’s inquiry, Qin Xiao also felt somewhat troubled.

Although his current relationship with the Minotaur Clan was acceptable, there was ultimately a vast gap in their strength.

If they notified the lower realm that Ascension was possible, it would be extremely dangerous should he ever fall out with the Minotaurs. This Ascending Platform might very well fall into enemy hands once again.

“Grandmaster, I am not entirely certain for the time being. As you know, the chief of the Minotaur Clan is an expert with 8-Gang Combat Power. Although the Supreme Elder of my Seven Stars Tower is also at the High-Rank Taiyi Realm, she is ultimately not at the Great Luo Realm and cannot guarantee complete safety.”

Qin Xiao voiced his misgivings.

“Your worries are to be expected, but the Heavenly Dynasty’s intent is to bear the necessary risks. After all, absolute safety does not exist in this world.”

The Heavenly Dynasty saw it more simply. There was no such thing as a venture without risk.

“Then I have no objections. For now, it is relatively safe. But Grandmaster, you have seen it as well: traversing Minotaur territory requires paying Immortal Stones. According to the conditions I previously discussed with my master, anyone from the Heavenly Dynasty who Ascends can be handed over to you, but this toll fee surely cannot come out of my own pocket, right?”

Since the Heavenly Dynasty did not mind the risk, Qin Xiao did not care either. It just so happened that his Seven Stars Tower was nearly fully rebuilt, meaning he could begin accepting disciples.

Furthermore, freely giving these people to the Heavenly Dynasty did not sit well with Qin Xiao. Business was business. He truly did not care about this small amount of Immortal Stones, but he could not let the Heavenly Dynasty take advantage of him for nothing.

“That is only natural. However, one thousand Immortal Stones per person is indeed a bit steep. After all, quite a few people Ascend from the lower realm. The Heavenly Dynasty may be stable now, but this is a long-term expense. Given our current reserves, I fear we simply cannot afford it.”

Ji Kun saw nothing wrong with Qin Xiao’s request. Still, the Heavenly Dynasty had only just stabilized, and this would be a considerable expense.

“Then how about this: five hundred per person, and I will figure out a way to cover the other five hundred.”

Seeing his grandmaster speak this way, Qin Xiao made a concession out of respect for him.
