"Are these words true?"
Hearing the secret revealed by Ji Li, Xiao Lin's eyes instantly lit up.
"I cannot be completely certain, but the authenticity is above eighty percent!"
Ji Li said very affirmatively.
Do not forget, Ji Li was also searching around for Heavenly Flames. He had naturally targeted the Three Thousand Burning Flame in the hands of the Pill Tower earlier.
This piece of information was precisely what he had pried into at that time.
It was just that, at that time, the core essence of the Purifying Lotus Demonic Flame Sub-Flame in Ji Li's hands was still too weak, and the Three Thousand Burning Flame was ranked ninth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking after all.
If he chose the Three Thousand Burning Flame to devour as his very first one, he was afraid that his own Purifying Lotus Demonic Flame Sub-Flame would instead have its core essence devoured by the Three Thousand Burning Flame!
If that happened, Ji Li estimated he wouldn't even have a place to cry.
Therefore, after prying into this information, Ji Li did not rush into action either. For a Heavenly Flame ranked in the top ten of the Heavenly Flame Ranking like the Three Thousand Burning Flame, even if Ji Li wanted it.
He would definitely have to let his Purifying Lotus Demonic Flame Sub-Flame absorb one or two lower-ranked Heavenly Flames first before he would dare to target it.
However, seeing that Xiao Lin had a need right now, as a good friend, Ji Li still decided to give this opportunity to the other party. It had to be said, although Ji Li usually had a cynical and unreliable appearance, as a friend, he was still exceptionally loyal.
After all, this was originally something he had prepared for himself!
Right now, it could be considered a bargain for Xiao Lin.
Although the Five Great Clans of the Pill Tower might not necessarily agree to a transaction with Xiao Lin, it was a chance after all, wasn't it?
"Good, I understand! Ji Li, thanks!"
Xiao Lin solemnly expressed his thanks to Ji Li.
"Drop it, thanking back and forth is quite cheesy. Although I have such a piece of inside information, for the Five Great Clans of the Pill Tower to obtain an opportunity to come into contact with the Three Thousand Burning Flame, they clearly have to pay a massive price."
"Wanting them to use this price to trade with us is absolutely not an easy matter."
Ji Li first waved his hand, and then said with a somewhat solemn expression.
This was also one of the reasons why Ji Li had not thought about trading with the Five Great Clans of the Pill Tower earlier.
One must know, over so many years of possessing the Three Thousand Burning Flame, the Pill Tower would only release ten opportunities to come into contact with the Three Thousand Burning Flame during the once-every-thirty-years Pill Gathering.
From this, it could be seen just how precious this opportunity to come into contact with the Three Thousand Burning Flame was!
"I know, but this is always much easier than obtaining a pathway from the Pill Tower."
Xiao Lin nodded his head, agreeing with Ji Li's statement.
Now that he had an idea, Xiao Lin naturally began to carry out his actions.
It was just that, the result was not very ideal.
The Five Great Clans of the Pill Tower were respectively the Dan Clan, the Cao Clan, the Bai Clan, the Qiu Clan, and the Ye Clan. These Five Great Clans jointly governed the Pill Tower and possessed Elder seats within the Pill Tower.
Moreover, within these Five Great Clans, there were also countless alchemists present.
Tier 6 and below did not even need to be mentioned, there were Tier 7, and even Tier 8 ones!
From this, it could be seen what kind of status these Five Great Clans of the Pill Tower possessed within the Central Plains. It was no exaggeration to say that if any single one of these clans was taken outside, they would be hospitably entertained by various first-tier factions!
In order to obtain the opportunity to come into contact with the Three Thousand Burning Flame, Xiao Lin also had no choice but to choose to thicken his skin and visit these Five Great Clans of the Pill Tower one by one.
However, just as Xiao Lin raised his request here, the Bai Clan and the Qiu Clan rejected him without any hesitation. As for the Dan Clan and the Cao Clan, they similarly chose to politely decline.
Furthermore, when Xiao Lin left these four clans, they all looked at him with peculiar gazes.
This caused Xiao Lin to feel somewhat baffled.
It could only be said that, fortunately, Xiao Lin possessed some fame in the Central Plains. Not only was he a Dou Zun expert with a reputation outside, but he had also established a faction like the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace.
Otherwise, when Xiao Lin visited these clans, he would have likely been turned away at the door!
What a joke, did he even know how massive the price was to exchange for an opportunity to come into contact with the Three Thousand Burning Flame from the Pill Tower?
Given the current status of their clans in the Pill Tower, they would have to be out of their minds to use such a massive price to go to the Pill Tower and exchange for an opportunity to come into contact with the Three Thousand Burning Flame!
Even if Xiao Lin offered more, these four clans would never agree!
The Bai Clan.
"In this day and age, have even Dou Zun gone foolish? Asking our Bai Clan to do this kind of thing?"
The Qiu Clan.
"Lin Xiao, his strength is extraordinary, but it's a pity his brain doesn't work well."
The Cao Clan.
"Being able to befriend a powerful Dou Zun is something my Cao Clan is very willing to do, but it's a great pity that for this matter alone, there is truly no room for discussion!"
The Dan Clan.
"It seems that although Lin Xiao Zun Zhe learned of such a piece of information from somewhere, he seemingly does not know what the lost price is for our Five Great Clans of the Pill Tower if we want to exchange for an opportunity to come into contact with the Three Thousand Burning Flame!
Looking at his direction, he should be heading toward the Ye Clan."
"Whether it should be said or not, the Ye Clan has already hit rock bottom in the Pill Gathering assessment twice in a row. If they hit rock bottom one more time, they will be stripped of their Pill Tower Elder seat. Perhaps the Ye Clan will agree to his transaction..."
The Bai Clan, Qiu Clan, Cao Clan, and Dan Clan respectively expressed their opinions regarding Xiao Lin's visits. In reality, when Xiao Lin visited these four clans, they had still hospitably entertained him.
In their eyes, no matter what was said, Lin Xiao was a ruthless person who could force the Yellow Spring Pavilion to close its gates. Such an expert was someone that even factions like the Five Great Clans of the Pill Tower were very willing to befriend.
Regrettably, the condition raised by Lin Xiao was something they would never accept under any circumstances.
That price was too massive!
However, judging from the assessment of the people from the Dan Clan, it was possible for Xiao Lin to reach a transaction with the Ye Clan!
After all, even if the Ye Clan did not reach a transaction with Lin Xiao, when they hit rock bottom in the next Pill Gathering assessment, they would still lose that very object anyway.
Since it was so, using that object which was about to be lost to trade with Lin Xiao seemed to be quite understandable.
That's right, in reality, the price that the Five Great Clans of the Pill Tower had to pay to obtain the opportunity to come into contact with the Three Thousand Burning Flame was precisely losing their Elder seat within the Pill Tower!
The current Elder seats of these four clans—the Bai Clan, Qiu Clan, Cao Clan, and Dan Clan—within the Pill Tower were very stable.
It was precisely because of this that no matter what price Xiao Lin paid, it was impossible for these four clans to trade with Xiao Lin. It was no wonder that when Xiao Lin left these four clans, they would look at him with that kind of peculiar gaze.
Whether it should be said or not, if Xiao Lin knew what the price was that the Five Great Clans of the Pill Tower needed to pay for this, he might even think his own brain was abnormal. Under these circumstances, it would be a miracle if these four clans traded with Xiao Lin!
The reason why the Dan Clan assessed that the Ye Clan might agree to trade with Xiao Lin was precisely because the Ye Clan's current Elder seat within the Pill Tower was in imminent danger.
Since it was so, rather than losing it for nothing when the time came, it was better to use this Elder seat to trade with Xiao Lin right now, thereby obtaining a certain amount of benefits.
Whether it should be said or not, in view of this, the Ye Clan was indeed Xiao Lin's final and only hope. Only the Ye Clan, whose Elder seat within the Pill Tower was almost impossible to keep, could potentially complete this transaction with him!
