Chapter 668: Chapter 302: Storage of Spiritual Items _2

With the strength and agility of an Inborn Grandmaster, they can easily launch a surprise attack, steal the items, and run without fearing Chu State’s retaliation.

Not only these foreign countries.

Seeing that White Phoenix Temple is so weak and has such great wealth, does the King of Chu standing in front of them not have his own desires?

Jihui is not naive enough to believe that after the White Phoenix Temple submits to Chu State, the other party will genuinely not harm them.

Kings are known for their ruthlessness.

Classical examples of using people and then abandoning them in history have proven to be a warning.

Therefore, instead of waiting for others to come and steal, it is better to take the initiative to offer it. Not only can they avoid disaster, but they can also gain the favor of the King of Chu, and it can be said to be the best of both worlds.

As for the remaining 20% of the treasury, it is far from enough to cultivate an Inborn Grandmaster. Although this number of treasures is large, it is not worth the risk for an Inborn Grandmaster from other nations to intervene.

If no Inborn is involved, the remaining top-level experts of White Phoenix Temple are enough to deter other top-rated powers.

This is the best solution under Jihui’s calculations.

So after stating his terms, he eagerly looked towards Lu Yuan.

He had already paid such a high price and offered the Divine Blood Elixir and the Divine Blood Variant, enough to cultivate another Inborn Grandmaster for Chu State.

The White Phoenix Temple had cut off such a large portion of their assets, shouldn’t the other party give enough rewards and benefits in return?

Otherwise, how can they reassure the world?

At this time, Lu Yuan was also shocked by the sudden deal proposed by Jihui.

He had thought that the other party would propose other conditions, but he never expected that White Phoenix Temple would actually offer 80% of the interests it protected.

That was a full 80%!

Although Lu Yuan didn’t know if the data Jihui revealed was the total value of the White Phoenix Temple’s treasury.

But just the 80% that the other party mentioned, that was nearly 700 Divine Blood Elixirs, 24 Divine Blood Variants, and dozens of Different Species Sheds.

If all the benefits above were utilized, it would be enough for Lu Yuan to cultivate two Inborn Grandmasters and refine another Yellow Turban Warrior Avatar in between.

That is to say, the items given by the White Phoenix Temple can provide Chu State with the power of three Inborn-level fighters.

‘No wonder they are the Inborn Great Sect with a heritage of thousands of years. They have so many good things. Their foundations are deeper than what I have searched for in more than ten years.’

Lu Yuan’s heart was both shocked and awed.

And this was just the White Phoenix Temple.

Other forces transformed from sects of Jianghu, such as Hanzhong, Su Country, and Nanhai Country, should have similar treasure storage as the White Phoenix Temple.

Especially Nanhai Country.

This clueless guy, who has lost the protection of an Inborn Grandmaster, is in a worse situation than the White Phoenix Temple.

Thinking of such a weak and helpless character possessing such a vast amount of treasures, Lu Yuan’s heart began to pound.

He made up his mind that after dealing with the matters in Xichuan and when he had the time, he would definitely visit Southsea.

This trip would not be to destroy the country, but to take away the treasures that do not belong to the weak, so that they can no longer be covered in dust and can demonstrate their true value in the hands of the strong.

But that’s another story.

Right now, it’s more important to first complete the deal with the White Phoenix Temple and eat the meat that’s been brought to their mouths.

Converging his thoughts, Lu Yuan looked at Jihui, who was full of anticipation, hesitated for a moment, and replied, “The White Phoenix Temple has offered treasures, which is a great achievement. Your loyalty to the country is well noted.

I have always rewarded those who have merit and will never let down the loyal and brave.

Jihui, hear my decree.”

Jihui immediately bowed down below, no longer calling himself a monk but responding with the etiquette of an official: “This servant is here.”

Lu Yuan solemnly said, “The White Phoenix Temple has a history of contributing to the country. This great merit deserves a great reward and is essential for the people’s hearts.

From today onwards, I specially grant the White Phoenix Temple the title of National Guardian Temple. From now on, successive abbots of the temple can inherit the title of National Guardian Master.

This title is a third-grade rank and also grants the National Guardian Master the right to assist the government in handling various affairs related to Jianghu and to ban illegal activities. Monks from the temple can also join relevant government offices and enjoy the same treatment.”

Lu Yuan proposed his conditions.

The hereditary third-grade title of National Guardian Master, a certain degree of authority in managing affairs related to Jianghu, and the channel for promotion in relevant government departments.

These three points are enough to push the National Guardian White Phoenix Temple to the top of Chu’s Jianghu hierarchy and enjoy countless honors.

With these guarantees and treatments in place, the White Phoenix Temple will merge completely with Chu State, inseparable.

As long as Chu State doesn’t perish, the White Phoenix Temple will no longer have to worry about destruction.

These benefits are enough to balance the treasures offered by the other party.

As expected, when Jihui heard Lu Yuan’s promise, his eyes lit up, and he immediately bowed down and said, “This servant thanks the great king for his kindness. From now on, the White Phoenix Temple will do its utmost for the Great Chu, handling Jianghu affairs well, and not causing worry for the king.”

It seemed that Jihui was also aware of the other purpose behind Lu Yuan’s promise.

That was to use the White Phoenix Temple as Chu’s spokesperson in Jianghu, to help unite and stabilize various Jianghu forces in Chu, and to act as a white glove assisting Chu in handling some matters that could not be handled openly by the government.

Although this had the intention of pushing the White Phoenix Temple to the forefront to attract the hatred and malice of Chu’s Jianghu.

But that’s the point.

With an official spokesperson and the top status in Jianghu…
