To achieve immortality, I cultivate using Qi Luck

"There’s no problem with this talisman. Thank you, Friend Yang,"

After Lu Yuan had examined the Divine Method Talisman Charter, he put it away and expressed his gratitude to Yang Jihua with a smile.

Since the other party had offered such a generous gift, both morally and logically, a word of thanks was still necessary.

"Now that Friend Che has no objections, I can rest easy,"

Seeing that Lu Yuan had accepted the talisman charter, Yang Jihua breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile finally appeared on his face.

Truth be told, although their Qing Immortal Sect had already relocated many of their core divine spirits,

the remaining over three hundred divine spirits still occupied nearly twenty percent of the Divine Positions in Youxin Country.

Such a large share being occupied by unrelated divine spirits would certainly be dissatisfactory to anyone.

When handing over the Divine Method Talisman Charter earlier, he had been worried that Lu Yuan might take the opportunity to refuse to keep these remaining divine spirits.

If that were to happen, their Qing Immortal Sect would be in a difficult position.

’It seems that Taiping Dao still has some kindness and righteousness; they didn’t make things utterly difficult. From this, it seems that they truly intend to develop peacefully in Youxin Country and do not wish to stir up trouble.’

Yang Jihua thought.

After becoming divine spirits, they still had a limited lifespan.

Although they could live somewhat longer than their original lifespan due to being soul-like ghost bodies nourished by the power of incense,

they could at most only extend their lifespan by about ten to twenty percent.

The highest rank among the spirits left behind in his Talisman Charter were at the stage of Gathering Four Qi, which according to the lifespan of Human Race cultivators, even with augmentation, would only live for seven to eight hundred years at most.

The other spirits would live even shorter.

Thus, when Taiping Dao agreed not to oppose the Qing Immortal Sect for a thousand years, it precisely covered the timeframe in which these venerable and younger members of the Qing Immortal Sect were naturally replaced.

With these Qing Immortal Sect spirits remaining, Taiping Dao would not dare risk internal espionage to oppose Qing Immortal Sect before they were fully replaced.

They could roughly gauge Taiping Dao’s movements through the state of these leftover spirits.

This was a balancing test by the Qing Immortal Sect to ascertain Taiping Dao’s stance.

Presumably, the other side also understood this point, which is why they readily agreed.

After all, as long as Taiping Dao does not cause trouble, these leftover spirits will naturally obey orders and serve loyally.

Even if Taiping Dao finds these holdovers displeasing, after a thousand years, it can naturally replace them with their own produced new spirits, making the entire Youxin Country their own.

In such a serene and harmonious way, the complete transfer of power will be accomplished.

No one’s interests would be violated.

As long as you harbour no ill intentions, why not agree to it?

Having added this final layer of assurance with Taiping Dao, Yang Jihua, with his mind at ease and all matters settled, then saluted with folded hands, "Friend Che, since you and I have sworn an alliance and the Divine Method Talisman Charter has been completely transferred,

I have mostly taken care of the affairs in Youxin Country.

My disciples of another residence and several evacuating divine spirits are already gathered in Sanhe City, beginning the evacuation process.

Friend Che, you may now send people to take over Sanhe City.

This Divine Method Talisman Charter will be highly regarded by the spirits deciding to stay in the country, establishing a master-servant relationship, and take charge in Youxin.

From now on, Youxin Country will belong to Taiping Dao.

I hope Friend Che will uphold this significant responsibility, not fail the millions of common folk in the country, clear the demonic influences, and return this land to peace, restoring it as a joyful place for the Human Race."

Yang Jihua offered his wishes and then bowed respectfully, saying, "I still need to look after those transferring disciples and must report back to my sect early, which prevents me from staying long. Therefore, I will take my leave first."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan hurriedly returned the gesture, "Take care, Friend Yang. May your journey be smooth."

Yang Jihua waved his hand and, after stepping out of the residence, his robe fluttered and he transformed into a streak of blue light, heading northward.

A moment after his departure, from the rear yard of the residence, Lu Yuan, along with another avatar from Yi Dancheng, eventually emerged.

"The Qing Immortal Sect is known as a dominating power, but it has indeed declined within the Changqing Domain,"

Watching the direction in which Yang Jihua disappeared, Lu Yuan, who had observed the conversation between the other party and his own avatar throughout, could not help but feel deeply moved.

Although in these negotiations, it seemed that the Qing Immortal Sect was aggressively pushing, not only forcing Taiping Dao to make a vow but also leaving behind 375 old divine spirits of Youxin Country as internal monitors and disruptors to restrain Taiping Dao’s developments,

if one thinks about it carefully, Taiping Dao, being new to the area, had no foundation in the Changqing Domain to begin with.

As an outsider, establishing a foothold here requires a long time to operate covertly and accumulate sufficient foundation.

Using a thousand years to establish an Immortal Sect in a country is really a very short time, even by standards of the Immortal Realm.

So whether Lu Yuan took that oath or not, Taiping Dao would not have had the capacity to expand externally within a thousand years.

Well, that is unless he used the Earth Immortal Dao Fruit and the other avatar from Yi Dancheng.

As for the old spirits left by the other party, they are just a laughable fig leaf.

A mere group of minor divine spirits, none even reaching the Five Qi Towards Primordial level, let alone once Taiping Dao’s foundation in Youxin Country is stable,

even now, eliminating them would merely be a matter of waving Lu Yuan’s hand, hardly requiring much effort.

The existence of these divine spirits genuinely only serves to confirm whether Taiping Dao harbours any harmful intentions towards the Qing Immortal Sect or not.
