Ye Luo chuckled softly; he understood that Feng Yun Xiner was not the kind of person who would change her mind over romantic feelings.

Or rather, the women of this world are much more composed than those on Earth.

Take Zi Wei, for example; if Ye Luo hadn’t saved her and made a pact with her, Zi Wei would never have submitted to him!

So, to win her over, one can only use benefits!

"Now that the Dragon Clan, Myriad Beasts Sect, and the Returner Alliance have all come to the South Territory, are they really just here to hunt me? Of course, I’m just a trigger; the real grave threat is probably you forces here in the South Territory!" Ye Luo said lightly.

"That’s true; we’ve long felt the pressure. Moreover, these factions often come into conflict with us. After all, although the South Territory might not be much, Mt. Sumeru is an excellent training ground, and it also harbors significant secrets!" Feng Yun Xiner said.

Major secrets? This was the first time Ye Luo heard about them, but now was not the time to discuss this.

"Therefore, I think any Sect, not to mention facing the alliance of those factions, couldn’t even handle a single Dragon Clan; so, a Sect alliance is an inevitable trend. I think you’ve already considered this, the issue is simply which Sect to ally with!" Ye Luo smiled.

Upon hearing this, Feng Yun Xiner fell silent, staring unblinkingly at Ye Luo.

Ye Luo knew that these words struck a chord with her; it’s not that she didn’t want to ally, otherwise, she wouldn’t even be here today!

After all, Zi Wei once was the number one in the South Territory, and with the Blood Droplet still in her possession, her power couldn’t be underestimated. Although she made many enemies last time, it doesn’t mean anyone would dare provoke the Zi Wei Sect.

"In battling those factions, simply relying on the Sect’s experts won’t suffice; overall, we still depend on the disciples from the Sect. That’s fundamental, so enhancing the disciples’ strength quickly is something we must do! If you ally with us, I guarantee to help Wind Cloud Sect disciples increase their power by a notch in the shortest time possible!" Ye Luo said earnestly.

The real negotiation begins now.

Feng Yun Xiner furrowed her brow, "Ye Luo, although you saved me once, that was our personal matter. If you’re in danger, I would risk my life to save you, but involving the Sect, I hope you understand, a disciple’s strength isn’t something that enhances overnight!"

Evidently, she did not trust Ye Luo’s words.

Ye Luo did not mind, still smiling lightly, "Of course, I wouldn’t deceive you. Look at this, you’ll naturally understand what’s going on!"

With that, Ye Luo flicked his finger gently, sending a strange energy toward Feng Yun Xiner.

Feng Yun Xiner was startled for a moment, then checked it, and her face changed instantly.

"This is the Essence of the Spirit Pond!" she exclaimed in astonishment.

Ye Luo smiled, "That’s right, it’s the Essence, and it’s been purified. You probably know, this essence originally contained a thread of Dark Law, but now that thread of Dark Law has been eliminated by me, so its value has significantly increased!"

The Essence is not only valuable to people in the South Territory, but everyone in the Sixth Region probably knows its rarity!

Otherwise, why would so many people risk their lives to enter the Spirit Pool, even those patriarchs are eager for it!

The amount in Feng Yun Xiner’s hand is enough for her to absorb for several days!

"This is indeed good, but the issue is, with so many disciples in Wind Cloud Sect, how much Essence can you give me?" Feng Yun Xiner asked.

This is indeed a problem, as Wind Cloud Sect has over ten thousand members, with seven to eight thousand disciples, which is significantly more than Zi Wei Sect.

Ye Luo smiled mysteriously, "How long do you think, with this amount of Essence, a disciple can use it?"

Feng Yun Xiner was silent for a moment, "If I used this Essence, I could refine it in three to five days, but for a disciple, it might take about a month!"

A month or so would allow a disciple to make significant progress, showing just how potent this Essence is.

"Alright, for each disciple, I can give you two of these Essences, allowing them to cultivate for two months. But I believe you have more meaningful ways to use this Essence, don’t you?" Ye Luo smiled wryly at Feng Yun Xiner.

"What? You can give me so much Essence? Two portions per disciple, that’s not a small amount!" Feng Yun Xiner exclaimed, eyes widening.

This quantity is perhaps more than what those patriarchs, risking their lives, could bring out from the Spirit Pool.

Of course, this time the patriarchs were unfortunate, as the forge only opened once or twice before being surrounded by the Dark restriction, leaving them no opportunity to enter again.

But Ye Luo is not lacking in Essence; although he can’t enter the Spirit Pool now, he has a special way of contacting the robots guarding the Essence, obtaining large amounts at specific times!

It’s not a privilege exclusive to Ye Luo; once, Zi Wei could also acquire a certain amount at specific times, though it was meager. Even so, it allowed her rapid advancement, becoming number one in the Sixth Region, related to both the Lunhui Cultivation Technique and the Essence.

Moreover, despite having fewer disciples, Zi Wei Sect has a steady supply of Essence, allowing them to remain at Mt. Sumeru without ever leaving.

Furthermore, the Gold Silk Forest over there is related to this Essence; otherwise, how could the Gold Silk Wood take root in Zi Wei Sect?

"Of course, if you agree to collaborate with Zi Wei Sect, there’s more than just this amount of Essence; you’d have to consider this. I doubt any other Sect could offer you such favorable benefits!" Ye Luo smiled.

Feng Yun Xiner hesitated; Ye Luo was right. Cooperation with other Sects is merely a mutual reliance, with no real benefits!

"Moreover, this strategy isn’t only for Wind Cloud Sect; I’ll also join forces with Divine Martial Sect and other Sects later. Do you think they can resist my offer?" Ye Luo continued.

Feng Yun Xiner was indeed astonished, "How much Essence from the Spirit Pool will you have to give?"

Ye Luo smiled mysteriously, "As long as you agree to the alliance, all this is yours!"

With that, Ye Luo tossed over a small vial.
