Chapter 526 - 309 Reinforcement_2
Whether it was exchanges on cultivation or using power to obtain resources, the four Golden Core Elders got along extremely well. Even in Jiang Pu’s view, Li Yuanba was somewhat easier to talk to than the previous Golden Core guardian of Jieshan City.
Li Yuanba’s attitude towards resource matters was non-contentious. Although he did not vie for them, no one ever underpaid him for what was rightfully his.
"Junior Brother Shi has a Tracking Spirit Rat. That Earth Evil Sect Golden Core, merely at the Golden Core Early Stage, cannot escape their tracking!" Jiang Pu confidently reassured the two Golden Core Elders, answering with a smile.
As the two were conversing, they simultaneously looked towards the other side of the checkpoint, where three Golden Core auras were rapidly approaching.
"I knew they would come over to stir up some trouble, making us lose face!" Jiang Pu helplessly spread his hands.
He wasn’t worried, however, as Li Yuanba’s combat strength was good. With Li Yuanba’s help, it wouldn’t be easy for the three Righteous Path Golden Core cultivators to cause any trouble this time.
"Don’t we have a collaboration with them?" Li Yuanba, recalling a recent profit-sharing occasion, asked, puzzled.
During that profit-sharing, he had received a Third-grade Spiritual Medicine. Given his Golden Core Early Stage cultivation, it was enough for him to request an Alchemy Master to concoct a batch of Third-grade Spirit Pills.
And the profit-sharing was distributed among several Golden Core cultivators guarding both sides of the checkpoint, with all those involved in resource smuggling, regardless of whether they were from the Righteous or Evil Path, receiving a share.
This shows that although the two sides were enemies on the Righteous and Evil spectrum, they also shared mutual connections.
"Collaboration is collaboration, but interest and hostile relations do not conflict. The Righteous Path will take any opportunity to take some advantage, whether by destroying grand formations or seriously injuring our cultivators. As long as it doesn’t involve the Righteous Path calling in reinforcements from the inland, all is within fair rules.
We are cultivators—always ready for battle!" Jiang Pu explained to Li Yuanba.
