Chapter 1084: Chapter 882: Sitting at Home, Goods Come from the Sky (Part 2)

"Of course, this is just a small compensation for Cloud City.

Additionally, there are measures to compensate City Lord Yuan: Firstly, the loss of Life Origin will definitely be compensated by Du Li. If City Lord Yuan finds a method, he can inform him, no matter the cost, it will surely be done;

Secondly, I sincerely invite City Lord Yuan to join the Demon Realm Alliance as an Honored Guest Elder. When the time is right, City Lord Yuan can use the support provided by the alliance to achieve Ascension!"

Yuan Man: ???

Do you think Ascension will happen just because you say so? Is the Celestial Realm run by your Demon Realm Alliance?

What audacity!

If these words were from Mr. Jiang... huh? Mr. Jiang?!

She suddenly remembered that after the last transaction, Mr. Jiang still owed her an Elixir worth three thousand years of Lifespan. It was agreed that all the medicinal ingredients would be sourced from the underground caverns, and Mr. Jiang needed to pay for the Spirit Stones to purchase the ingredients.

Now that the Demon Realm Alliance is taking care of everything, why not take the opportunity to do a favor?

The underground caverns don’t need to source a large amount of Spirit Medicine, and Mr. Jiang wouldn’t need to spend Spirit Stones either. Having him list the necessary Spirit Medicine for Alchemy, and adding more for Du Li to pay, isn’t that better!

Ever since she was nearly trapped into death, she has endured enough grievances over the years, so even asking Du Li for more compensation is not too much.

"Lastly, as for the Lifespan that City Lord Yuan lost, I’ve heard that Du Li’s avatar has already helped repay some of it. Whatever remains owed, City Lord Yuan can simply ask." Lan Shanying listed all the conditions in one breath, his sincere attitude making him appear even more kindly, "Is there anything that I might have overlooked?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Man smiled and said, "Alliance Leader Lan has thought it through thoroughly, and there are no oversights. As for the Demon Realm Alliance’s support for Cloud City, it is naturally very good, and I will gladly accept it on behalf of all the people of Cloud City;

However, regarding matters most important to me, such as Lifespan, Life Origin, and Ascension, we still need to discuss further.

First of all, compensating for Lifespan is relatively simpler. To be honest, when I encountered Du Li’s avatar, we made a deal, and he has already compensated me with two thousand years of Lifespan, still owing three thousand years due to the lack of sufficient Spirit Medicine for refining a Longevity Pill.

I can inquire of Mr. Jiang about all the necessary ingredients for Alchemy, and after Alliance Leader Lan looks them over, you can consider whether to provide them to compensate for the shortfall."

Before coming, Lan Shanying had discussed with Du Li.

Simply providing medicinal ingredients to compensate for the lost Lifespan, without needing the Demon Realm Alliance to find an Alchemist or Pill Formula, was already quite inexpensive, so he naturally agreed without hesitation.

"Secondly, it’s about replenishing the Life Origin that was stolen from me." Yuan Man sipped a cup of tea and pondered, "This rare and enigmatic item cannot simply be taken back from Du Li during his Tribulation Crossing. What good method might Alliance Leader Lan have?" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

The other party replied truthfully, "As of now, there is no definite plan, but Du Li already has some clues. City Lord Yuan also knows that the Book of Life and Death of the Netherworld in Fengdu is an Ancient Divine Artifact; any who fail to achieve Ascension are recorded within it.

Recently, Du Li received internal information that the Book of Life and Death contains records related to the gifting of Life Origin.

He is diligently investigating, and once concrete information is obtained, he will strive to facilitate it. Du Li has given a period of a year, promising that within a year, he will fully compensate for the Life Origin that City Lord Yuan lost!"

Yuan Man was taken aback upon hearing this, as she acknowledged the uniqueness of the Netherworld in Fengdu; if the Book of Life and Death had clues about Life Origin, it would be credible.

She hadn’t expected Du Li to have such extensive connections, even being able to uncover secrets of the Book of Life and Death.

"If these words came from Du Li, I certainly wouldn’t believe them." She smiled slightly and said, "But I believe Alliance Leader Lan wouldn’t deceive me. As for replenishing Life Origin, let’s set that aside for now. Regarding Ascension..."

She trusted that the Demon Realm Alliance had substantial resources but doubted they were so formidable as to guarantee Ascension, otherwise Lan Shanying would have already Ascended into an Immortal, instead of frequently going into seclusion to avoid the world.

Lan Shanying subconsciously lowered his voice, "This is the Demon Realm Alliance’s greatest and most important secret; to this day, fewer than five people are fully privy to it. City Lord Yuan must personally travel to the Demon Realm Alliance’s headquarters, formally join as an Honored Guest Elder, and swear by her Daoxin to never reveal the heavenly secrets before being permitted to know the details."

Yuan Man remained skeptical.

The other party, however, laughed heartily and said, "If City Lord Yuan is satisfied, let’s settle it this way. Construction of all facilities such as Cloud City’s fortifications, the Cloud Grassland Market, the giant Teleportation Array, and safety passages will officially commence from today. The Demon Realm Alliance will go all out, striving for everything to be completed within seven days."

So fast?

Yuan Man was taken aback, nodding in agreement, "That would be good. If replenishing Life Origin truly leads to Ascension, I won’t have to worry about the future of my people."

Lan Shanying thought internally, if mass Ascension were truly imminent, this world would be thoroughly destabilized, and the citizens of Cloud City might not enjoy the Demon Realm Alliance’s resources for long.

However, it didn’t matter; as long as the current reconciliation conditions were fulfilled, all past grievances would be written off. At worst, before any mass Ascension, they could prioritize relocating the group to another world, which wouldn’t violate any reconciliation conditions.

And so, Jiang Yuan never imagined: being home, yet wealth arrives from the heavens!

Upon receiving a message from the Guest, City Lord Yuan, indicating that all Spirit Medicines would be supplied by the Demon Realm Alliance and guaranteeing that all would be of the highest grade, he merely needed to provide a list.

"In that case, the agreement between us is void. She needn’t source items from the underground caverns, and I don’t need to spend money; what a great deal!" He pondered that Du Li’s sudden attentiveness to Yuan Man surely held hidden motives.
