Chapter 463: Chapter 462: Voluntarily Seeking Alliance, Moonlight Suncrystal

"Hmm? The Vice State Master of Youyue State?"

Upon hearing Miao Zixi’s words, Ji Haoyuan was somewhat astonished.

He hadn’t expected that someone from Youyue State would come to him so soon.

It seems that the people from Taichong Sacred Land are really putting a lot of pressure on them.

If that weren’t the case, after only half a year, they wouldn’t have shown such urgency.

"Zixi, did that person say what it was about?"

Ji Haoyuan asked with a smile.

Miao Zixi shook her head.

"She didn’t say.

But I can tell she seems very anxious."

"I understand."

Ji Haoyuan nodded.

"In that case, let’s go and meet them together.

Oh, Senior Sister, will you join us?"

Ji Haoyuan smiled as he turned to Jiang Miaoran.

Jiang Miaoran hesitated slightly, then nodded.

It was clear she also wanted to learn more about the situation.

Very soon.

Ji Haoyuan and his group of three headed directly to the reception hall on Qianyang Peak.

There.

A woman whom Ji Haoyuan was quite familiar with stood, her face filled with anxiety.

Upon seeing Ji Haoyuan arrive, her beautiful eyes immediately brightened.

Without saying a word, she stepped forward and gave Ji Haoyuan a deep bow.

"I, Lan Siyun, greet Chief Ji!"

The dignified Vice State Master of Youyue State referred to herself as a humble woman.

And she adopted such a low stance right from the start.

It seems that she, along with the State Lord of Youyue State, is indeed very anxious.

At this point, Ji Haoyuan also didn’t put on any airs.

He waved a hand at Lan Siyun.

"Lan, there’s no need for formalities. Just speak plainly—what brings you here this time?"

Upon hearing this, Lan Siyun could no longer afford to be subtle and said directly to Ji Haoyuan:

"To be honest, Chief Ji, on the day we met you, the State Lord and I already had the thought of aligning with you.

However, since it was our first meeting, to avoid appearing abrupt, we didn’t express it immediately.

The reason I’ve come this time is to convey our sincerity on behalf of our State Lord, and we hope Chief Ji will accept us."

Hearing this, Jiang Miaoran and Miao Zixi, standing by Ji Haoyuan, were somewhat surprised.

Clearly, they hadn’t expected the reason for such a hasty visit to be this matter.

But Ji Haoyuan was not surprised.

In fact, when Miao Zixi initially told him about this, he had vaguely guessed the truth.

The only thing that piqued his curiosity now was why Lan Siyun and her people seemed so anxious.

Thinking about this, Ji Haoyuan asked:

"If you wish to show sincerity, why are you here representing your State Lord instead of him coming personally?"

This question clearly made Lan Siyun a bit tense. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

As the Vice State Master of Youyue State and a Refining Void Divine Monarch, her mindset shouldn’t be so easily perturbed.

But alas, the time left for Youyue State was running short.

If they couldn’t rely on Ji Haoyuan, they would have to agree to the harsh conditions set by Taichong Sacred Land.

Thinking of this, Lan Siyun tried to calm herself before organizing her words to answer Ji Haoyuan:

"Please forgive us, Chief Ji. It’s not that our State Lord doesn’t want to come personally, but he simply cannot free himself."

At this point, Lan Siyun bit her lip and disclosed the true situation facing Youyue State to Ji Haoyuan.

She understood very well that when dealing with someone of Ji Haoyuan’s stature, it was best to be forthright.

Especially with this particular individual.

Honesty is the best way to win him over.

Indeed, that was the case.

After hearing Lan Siyun’s explanation, Ji Haoyuan couldn’t help but furrow his brow slightly.

The situation was somewhat beyond his expectations.

According to Lan Siyun,

The Holy Land Cave Heaven Chief, who coveted them, had already personally gone to Youyue State ahead of him.

Now, that person was already seated within the Youyue State Governor’s residence.

In this situation, An Changyun, the State Lord of Youyue State, naturally had to entertain him personally.

Even Lan Siyun’s exit was likely done discreetly, without alarming anyone.

After understanding these,

To be honest, Ji Haoyuan wasn’t very interested in Youyue State’s allegiance anymore.

Sure,

The Shadow Moon Spirit Spring they produce is indeed good.

But honestly, for someone like him, the Grand Cyan Cave Heaven Chief, it doesn’t hold much value.

Under such circumstances, there’s no reason for him to offend another Holy Land Cave Heaven Chief for the sake of the other party.

Simply put, the effort and benefit aren’t proportional.

Furthermore, on ethical grounds, the other party targeted Youyue State before him.

Without considering Lan Siyun and Youyue State State Lord An Changyun’s own wishes, forcibly competing with them would be unreasonable.

Unless there’s something else they could offer him.

Lan Siyun appeared to realize this.

She suddenly said, "Oh, Chief Ji, before I came, our State Lord asked me to relay this to you.

The Shadow Moon Spirit Spring in Youyue State is predicted to potentially yield rare Lunar Radiance Sun Spark Crystals after some time.

If Chief Ji is willing to accept our allegiance, in the future, not only can we provide you with twenty pounds, no, thirty pounds of Shadow Moon Spirit Spring annually.

But also, should a Lunar Radiance Sun Spark Crystal appear, you will have the first choice in selecting it.

At that time, you only need to leave us one or two pieces."

"Lunar Radiance Sun Spark Crystal?"

Upon hearing this name, Ji Haoyuan’s eyes instantly narrowed.

This is entirely different from the Shadow Moon Spirit Spring.

If the Shadow Moon Spirit Spring is merely a regular product of Youyue State, then the Lunar Radiance Sun Spark Crystal is something truly valuable.

It’s said that this item forms only under specific frigid conditions, being birthed from cold to heat, eventually becoming a treasure with both lunar and solar attributes.

Most importantly, this item is extremely valuable to his senior sister Jiang Miaoran right now.

It can help her establish an immensely solid foundation before her Divinity Transformation.

Moreover, for Ji Haoyuan himself, this item is of great benefit to him and his Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure, Water and Fire Flood Dragon Scissors, and Sun and Star Sword.

There’s no denying that the other party indeed offered an irresistible condition.

With such a treasure, not just he and that Holy Land Cave Heaven Chief, but even other Holy Land Cave Heaven Chiefs, or Dao Sect Chiefs, upon knowing, would find it hard to resist.

The only difference is how Ji Haoyuan handles matters like these.

For him, especially in such situations,

He always adheres to specific principles.

But others,

Might not do the same.

For example, the Holy Land Cave Heaven Chief from Taichong Sacred Land.
