Chapter 69: Reluctantly giving up love!

Seeing that Han Li was lost in thought and did not refuse outright, the Foundation Establishment cultivator named Ye was immediately delighted. It seemed that this boy was a sensible person and not a reckless person who was ignorant of the immensity of the world.

This made him very happy.

As long as Han Li is willing to exchange, he is absolutely confident that he can meet the other party's requirements and exchange for this Foundation Establishment Pill.

Thinking of this, the smile on the face of the Foundation Establishment cultivator named Ye became even more intense, and he felt that Han Li's appearance seemed to be much more pleasing to the eye than before.

In order to increase his confidence, he did not forget to persuade her kindly: "Martial Brother Han, I think you also know the nature of your spiritual roots, right?"

"Honest words are unpleasant to the ear, and good medicine tastes bitter. Don't think that what Master Uncle said is unpleasant. With your qualifications, even if you take the foundation-building pill, the hope of successfully building a foundation is slim."

"That foundation-building pill can only help my nephew improve his magic power and raise his basic skills by two or three levels."

"If that's the case, this foundation-building pill is a waste. For me, it would be better to exchange it for something more practical, which would be more cost-effective."

On the surface, Han Li seemed to be listening attentively to his uncle's long speech, but in his heart he had already begun to analyze and ponder, constantly calculating the interests involved.

The reason why Han Li was able to join Huangfeng Valley and become a sect cultivator was all because his younger sister married Ye Xiaotian, who took family affection into consideration and provided a lot of help.

The formations, magic tools, talismans, etc., together, amount to at least thousands of spirit stones.

How could he easily give up this hard-earned foundation-building pill?

Even though Han Li was a cultivator with five spiritual roots and had low aptitude, he still had a chance to build a foundation.

No matter how slim the chances of success are, how can you be willing not to give it a try?

To be honest, Han Li was also very clear that if he took just one foundation-building pill, his chances of successfully building a foundation were very slim, just as the other party said!
But he was still unwilling to give up the Foundation Establishment Pill just like that.

But if he refused, the other party was a foundation-building cultivator, and if he retaliated in the future, Han Li would not have a good time.

Moreover, it seems that the other party is also a powerful person in Huangfeng Valley, so we cannot make enemies with him.

It would be fine if he was alone, but if brother Xiaotian and sister Xiaotian were involved, the relationship between them would be revealed once investigated, and there is no guarantee that the other party would target them together.

"Besides, as the other party said, even if I take this foundation-building pill, it is unlikely that I can succeed in building the foundation." Han Li thought for a long time, and finally decided to test the other party's attitude first.

Since this foundation-building pill is destined to be lost, we naturally have to maximize the benefits.

"Uncle Master Ye, I guess you won't be able to find this foundation-building pill. Can I ask who you are asking for it from?"

Hearing this, Uncle Ye already knew that this deal was likely to be done.

Things have come to this point, if the other party has no intention, he will definitely refuse.

He probably asked this question in order to maximize his benefits. He had been in Huangfeng Valley for so long, and had already become extremely slick due to the intrigues among the various families for the distribution of benefits. How could he not see Han Li's little thoughts?
Compared with Uncle Ye, the meaning of being a rookie now seems a little too immature.

Even so, Uncle Ye had no intention of hiding anything. He would just ask for a sky-high price and pay back the money cheaply. It was impossible for him to exceed Han Li's expectations and let Han Li take too much advantage.

"Since Junior-nephew Han asked, I have nothing to hide from you. This foundation-building pill is for Ye's nephew's grandson. I hope Junior-nephew can help me?"

When Han Li heard this, he smiled bitterly in his heart, and then he started to calculate again.

"Nephew, even if it is a family of immortal cultivators, it is impossible to guarantee that every descendant has spiritual roots. It is possible that something unexpected happens to one's descendants, or that the children born do not have spiritual roots, causing the lineage to be cut off."

"And the nephew who can make this foundation-building cultivator spend such a huge price to seek the foundation-building pill must be extremely fond of his younger generation. If I refuse, it will definitely anger this foundation-building uncle."

"By then, Brother Xiaotian and Sister Xiaomei will certainly be implicated. In this case, I can only reluctantly agree to their request."

"As for the foundation-building matter, I can only think of a way later. With the little green bottle in hand, as long as I have the formula and time, what kind of elixir can't I refine?"

"Brother Xiaotian has provided Han Li with a huge amount of resources today to enter the Yellow Maple Valley. I may be able to help Brother Xiaotian build his foundation in the future."

"But today, I have no choice but to let go." After Han Li thought about the pros and cons, he made up his mind, but he still had to cut the opponent hard enough to make him bleed profusely.

Therefore, he showed an embarrassed expression on his face and looked sad.

"Uncle Master, it's not that I'm disrespectful to my elders. This foundation-building pill is extremely important to me. Even if my aptitude is a little bit worse, isn't there still a glimmer of hope?"

“But if I give up this opportunity to build my foundation, I will never achieve the Great Dao in this life!”

Han Li had a sullen face, and these two sentences were spoken with great truth.

That's the truth.

Even if the probability is one in a thousand or one in ten thousand, isn't there still a probability of 1?

"You are a cultivator with four spiritual roots. You have reached the ninth level of Qi Refining before the age of 20. This is a great opportunity and a blessing from heaven."

"You don't know how high the mountains are, how vast the world is, and yet you still dare to dream of building a foundation?"

Uncle Ye sneered in his heart, but Han Li had already agreed to the deal, so he didn't want to hit someone who was smiling at him.

He gave earnest advice from all aspects and made many promises. However, words were not enough to prove his point and if they were not fulfilled in the future, Han Li would have to swallow the loss.

After hearing these empty words, Han Li sneered in his heart and thought to himself, this uncle really thinks he is easy to fool. He can even say such words. Who can believe it?
But the words he spoke became weaker and weaker, which made the old man even more energetic and he kept asking higher and higher prices.

"Nephew! If you are willing to give up the Foundation Establishment Pill, I can let you choose any of the chores that the disciples in the valley must do!" Seeing that Han Li was in a state of not agreeing but not agreeing, he finally used his trump card.

"Miscellaneous chores?" Han Li was really stunned this time.

"Yes, you should know that the low-level disciples of our Yellow Maple Valley must complete certain deliverables every month."

"For example: go to several mining areas to supervise the miners digging, be a deacon disciple in the market opened by our sect, take care of the spiritual birds and beasts in the valley, and plant some spiritual roots and rare medicines, etc., and other miscellaneous tasks."

"Then, depending on the specific situation of the work completed, the sect will distribute some low-level spirit stones to these disciples on a monthly basis as a reward."

"As your uncle, I am the manager in the valley who is specifically responsible for assigning such work. So if there is a certain type of work that you like, it only takes a word from you." Having said this, Uncle Ye puffed out his chest, looking like he really holds a lot of power.

But Han Li was speechless when he heard this!

It seems that no matter where you are, there will always be people who abuse their power for personal gain. Even in a large sect like Huangfeng Valley, this is not uncommon.

However, when the other party mentioned the work of growing rare medicines, Han Li's heart moved. He felt that this job was tailor-made for him.

With the help of the little green bottle and this job, wouldn't it be like being the first to get the moon?

It will be much easier to obtain medicinal materials in the future.

Moreover, if he, his brother Xiaotian, and his younger sister could all build their foundation, they could avenge today's grudge.

The hatred that blocks the way is irreconcilable.

Even though the other party promised many benefits, Han Li still didn't want to exchange it deep down. However, he was hindered by the strength of a foundation-building cultivator and was helpless!
Now, we can only compromise for the time being.

Thinking of this, Han Li pretended to be finally moved and said to the old man in a wronged tone:
"Since Master Ye has said so, it would be too disrespectful of Master Ye if I don't agree. As long as Master Ye can really keep the conditions he just said, I will give this Foundation Establishment Pill to your nephew. I hope your nephew can succeed in establishing his foundation!"

When Master Ye heard this, he was overjoyed and made a promise:
"Don't worry, nephew. What I said is absolutely convincing. But when you meet the headmaster later, you can tell others about the deal, but it's better not to mention the things I promised in secret!"

Han Li smiled knowingly after hearing this, and tactfully agreed, "Uncle Master, please rest assured. I know what I am doing and will not do anything so stupid!"

After hearing this, the old man smiled and was very satisfied with Han Li's obedience.
