This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable-Chapter 1606 - 56: Reasoning and Feelings pale before a Stone (Part 3)

"The finest ingredients must be in the hands of the best chefs to become the most delicious delicacies.

The Sword Sect is the most powerful sect of sword cultivators among the Human Race, and your island's artifact refiners happen to specialize in swordsmithing. It's a match made in heaven, perfectly complementary.

Moreover, Family Head Cang must understand that the Sword Sect, as a sect of sword cultivators, undoubtedly has more respect for swordsmiths than any other sect. If you are willing to migrate to the Eastern Domain, you will surely receive the highest level of treatment." This is reasoning with logic.

"To show our sincerity, the Sword Sect is willing to allocate the Flying Peak near the Inverted Mountain Range to your Cang family, becoming your neighbors. Additionally, as a gesture of goodwill, I will also gift your Cang family a line of cloud-patterned immortal veins, which I believe your island's swordsmiths will certainly appreciate." This is enticing with benefits.

Lu Qingshan took a direct approach, delivering a combination of strategies.

The effect was quite good, as Cang Xiu immediately fell into deep thought.

After a moment of silence, he looked up at Lu Qingshan to confirm, "Cloud-patterned immortal vein?"

Lu Qingshan chuckled softly, waiting for Cang Xiu to ask.

He immediately turned his hand, and a golden-colored peculiar stone appeared in Lu Qingshan's hand, instantly drawing everyone's attention.

Wisps of mist hovered around the peculiar stone, stirring emotions in the hearts of those present.

"This is....?" Everyone, except Cang Xiu, had this question flash in their minds.

"Primordial stone, this is the primordial stone!" Cang Xiu inhaled sharply and exclaimed, staring at the peculiar stone in Lu Qingshan's hand.

Zang Xiaojian could recognize it, so how could he, as Zang Xiaojian's father, not recognize it?

"Yes, this is the cloud-patterned primordial stone," Lu Qingshan nodded slightly. "I trust the Family Head Cang understands its wonder. If the Family Head is willing to bring Lingye Island to the Eastern Domain, this cloud-patterned primordial stone will be yours."

"Such a divine stone, to us sword cultivators unskilled in the refining arts, is as good as a 'wasted stone.' Only in the hands of an artifact refiner can it realize its full potential." Lu Qingshan's composure remained unchanged as he spoke.

A wasted stone? Impossible, even for the Sword Sect, this primordial stone is an extraordinary treasure... Cang Xiu's mouth twitched slightly, knowing full well that Lu Qingshan's words at this point had revealed his true intentions.

The question was, could he refuse?

Cang Xiu asked himself and got an obvious answer.

No.

"Sect Master Lu is even willing to offer such a unique item as the cloud-patterned primordial stone, which shows his sincerity. Not to mention, Sect Master Lu has previously saved our Lingye Island in times of crisis. Both emotionally and logically, I have no reason to refuse." Cang Xiu exchanged a glance with Ming Yu, knowing she shared his thoughts. He hesitated no longer, cupping his hands and bowing to Lu Qingshan.

Lu Qingshan smiled with satisfaction and directly tossed the cloud-patterned primordial stone to Cang Xiu.

He knew that the reason Cang Xiu was willing to agree to settle near the Sword Sect was primarily because of the cloud-patterned primordial stone.

But Lu Qingshan didn't mind, because he understood clearly that without enticing with benefits, reasoning with logic and appealing with emotions would be but castles in the air, very hollow.

The settlement issues for the three tribes were smoothly resolved.

This was expected.

Once they were on someone else's territory, causing trouble would only bring disadvantages to themselves.

Everyone was wise enough not to do such foolish things.

....

Once all discussions were concluded, the cultivators of the three tribes took their leave with a formal bow.

After sending off the three esteemed clans, Lu Qingshan also prepared to leave.

"When you are about to advance to the Ninth Tribulation Realm, come to Heavenly River City to undergo the Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulations." In the recent negotiations, Chu Mu, who had been silent and observing without a word, suddenly spoke to call Lu Qingshan back. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Lu Qingshan was taken aback, turned to look at the expressionless Chu Mu, and after a moment of contemplation, understood something. He nodded solemnly and agreed, "I will."
