Chapter 1147: Chapter 1147

Regarding the thoughts of these people, Li Changlin could vaguely guess what they were thinking, but he never anticipated that the Zhao Family would not even want to wait for a moment.

Based on the current actions of the Zhao Family, Li Changlin could completely deduce what the other families were thinking.

It was likely that apart from Cheng Hui, the other families would be willing to pay a price just to get their hands on the Holy Fruit and Grass Revival Pill first!

This was indeed a troublesome matter, and Li Changlin felt a headache coming on just thinking about it.

If it weren’t for the Eight Great Divine Artifacts, he wouldn’t have so many concerns. After all, he possessed cultivation on par with the peak of Void Energy, and if the other party really pressed him, he could simply start a battle. There was absolutely no need for him to back down.

However, his plans had yet to bear any fruit, and the Zhao Family had already jumped out impatiently. Even the Zhou Family, a second-tier family, had brazenly reached out. How was Li Changlin supposed to make a decision?

"Young Master Changlin, everything has its value. I know that the Holy Fruit and Grass Revival Pill won’t come cheap, so I brought significant sincerity this time. If you find it difficult to assess the value of the Holy Fruit and Grass Revival Pill, then allow me to offer a suggestion. One billion, our Zhao Family is willing to offer one billion to purchase five hundred Holy Fruits and fifty Grass Revival Pills!" As Zhao Wuji spoke, he took out a pen and began writing on a chequebook.

After writing, he tore off a cheque with a swoosh and strode towards Li Changlin, stretching out his hand and handing it over.

"Elder Zhao, you’re putting me in a tough position!" Li Changlin’s face showed a slight change, not expecting Zhao Wuji to be so assertive.

At the same time, Li Changlin could faintly sense the scent of a conspiracy.

One billion for five hundred Life Fruits and fifty Grass Revival Pills. Did Zhao Wuji take him for a fool?

Moreover, these items were supposed to consume Popularity Points. Li Changlin hadn’t even raised his own strength yet, so why would he make it cheaper for others?

The reason he took out the Life Fruit and Grass Revival Pill yesterday was merely to incite greed amongst the Ancient Martial Families, especially the seven major ones. He did not expect the Zhao Family to be so impatient.

Dammit, it seems like things are going beyond his calculations.

"Young Master Changlin, perhaps you think the price is too low?" Zhao Wuji said with an indifferent smile, withdrawing his hand and writing another cheque before handing it over, "Well then, Young Master Changlin, two billion. Our Zhao Family is offering two billion!"

"Elder Zhao!" Seeing Zhao Wuji’s actions, Lin Jiancheng, who had remained silent until now, finally couldn’t help but give a light cough, "Let’s all sit down and talk first. After all, these Holy Fruits and Grass Revival Pills are prizes arranged by Young Master Changlin’s Sect for the competition among the major families."

If Zhao Wuji managed to buy half of the items, then the Lin Family would probably be left out in the cold. As the Family Head, Lin Jiancheng naturally had to consider the Lin Family.

Especially since the Zhou Family was still eyeing them covetously. Once Li Changlin agreed to Zhao Wuji’s terms, who knows what kind of trouble the Zhou Family might stir up.

"Lin Family Head, I am currently doing business with Young Master Changlin. I hope you won’t cause any trouble!" Zhao Wuji abruptly turned his head, staring coldly at Lin Jiancheng.

Although Lin Jiacheng was the Family Head, he only had the cultivation of Half-step into Void Energy. Naturally, Zhao Wuji wouldn’t take him seriously.

"Young Master Changlin, I won’t interfere with Elder Zhao’s purchase, but please proceed with the compensation for our Zhou Family first," seeing Lin Jiancheng being suppressed by Zhao Wuji, Zhou Yongyi’s heart sneered incessantly, and he quickly made his own demands to Li Changlin.

"Brother Zhou!" Li Changlin didn’t pay attention to Zhou Yongyi but turned his gaze to Zhou Xingxing instead, "If the Zhou Family is really going to persist , then I’m afraid I’ll have to offend you!"

Zhou Xingxing never had any issue with Lin Ruonan, yet now the Zhou Family actually expected compensation from him, which was utterly infuriating for Li Changlin.

Had it not been for Zhou Xingxing’s sake, he wouldn’t even bother wasting words with Zhou Yongyi.

Dammit, this is nothing short of extortion!

With Li Changlin’s temperament, how could he possibly let others extort him.

"Brother Li, do as you see fit, do not mind me," Zhou Xingxing said with a wry smile, spreading his hands. In fact, he had already tried to persuade his great uncle and the other elders back in the family.

However, the will of the family could not be shifted just by his persuasion. For the Zhou Family to step into the ranks of a first-rate family as soon as possible, they had made great sacrifices over the years.

Now that there was an opportunity to leverage Li Changlin’s power to rise as a prominent force within the second-tier families, Zhou Yongyi and the Zhou Family would not easily miss out on this chance.

Therefore, the Zhou Family blatantly ignored Zhou Xingxing’s advice.

Even though Zhou Xingxing followed them to the Lin Family’s residence, Zhou Yongyi still did not give up on the idea of taking a tough stance against Li Changlin.

In such a situation, Zhou Xingxing could only state his own position.

Since persuasion was futile, and he couldn’t stop them, he could only choose to remain neutral.

"Zhou Xingxing, this doesn’t concern you, step back now!" Zhou Yongyi’s face looked displeased, but he didn’t care too much.

Li Changlin was in Dao Verification Late Threshold Stage. Even if he could overcome one realm and fight with Peak of Transformation Realm strength, the lowest present level of the Zhou Family was Half-step into Void Energy, and they did not take Li Changlin seriously at all.

Also, Zhao Wuji had brought a good number of strong men, which was also a considerable support. Obviously, the Lin Family had not expected that the Zhou Family had already formed an alliance with the Zhao Family.

To counter Li Changlin and seize the Holy Fruits and Grass Revival Pills, the Zhou Family and Zhao Family had hit it off and reached an agreement last night.

"Great uncle, I hope you won’t lead the Zhou Family into an abyss," facing Zhou Yongyi’s reprimand, Zhou Xingxing had nothing to say.

However, being a member of the Zhou Family, he couldn’t help but offer a reminder before leaving.

Although Zhou Xingxing did not understand Li Changlin very well, he knew that Li Changlin was definitely not a rash person.

What he said earlier was clear—Li Changlin surely had something else up his sleeve. His great uncle’s and the other elders’ plans might very well fall through!

With a sigh of resignation in his heart, Zhou Xingxing didn’t wait for Zhou Yongyi’s response and strode out of the living room.

Lin Jiancheng opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end, he swallowed his words.

The current situation seemed very unfavorable for Li Changlin, but the Lin Family was now unable to stay out of this. What Lin Jiancheng could only hope for was that Li Changlin would have anticipated today’s situation before coming to the Lin Family.
