Seeing that Su Jingzhen and Qiu Yaoyao were really about to leave, the Sect Master and the Ancestral Tortoise of the Tortoise Sect finally couldn’t hold back and spoke up.
Su Jingzhen smiled inwardly.
However, he deliberately showed a hint of confusion on his face.
“Ah, Ancestral Tortoise and Sect Master, do you have any further instructions for us?”
His words just now had been extremely eloquent.
Under normal circumstances, they could indeed leave.
However, the current situation was far from normal.
The Tortoise Sect’s desire for the perfect version of the Immovable Tortoise Seal was already clear.
However, Su Jingzhen also had his own plans.
Even Qiu Yaoyao couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly when she heard Su Jingzhen’s question.Her gaze at Su Jingzhen was filled with a new appreciation.
This guy doesn’t seem as innocent as he appears on the surface.
Qiu Yaoyao thought to herself, but she didn’t want to interfere and say anything.
Everything would be left up to Su Jingzhen’s performance.
“Um… um, Young Friend Su… could the Immovable Tortoise Seal cultivation method you just demonstrated be left to our Tortoise Sect?”
The Ancestral Tortoise looked directly at Su Jingzhen and said this.
He wasn’t going to beat around the bush any longer.
However, when he spoke, there was still a hint of embarrassment in his tone.
Upon hearing this, Su Jingzhen’s face once again showed a hint of confusion.
As if he didn’t quite understand.
“Ancestral Tortoise, what do you mean? This junior is shallow in knowledge and just happened to stumble upon your sect’s secret technique.
Moreover, the senior mentioned earlier that if I needed it, Ancestral Tortoise could personally teach me this secret technique.
In less than an hour, Lord Ancestral Tortoise wants to take back those words?”
With those words, it seemed like Su Jingzhen was the one who was being deceived.
Everyone knew that Su Jingzhen was saying this on purpose, but the members of the Tortoise Sect couldn’t do anything about it.
The Ancestral Tortoise’s aged face showed a sigh.
The next moment, he looked at Su Jingzhen with a serious expression.
“Surely, Young Friend Su understands what I mean? As I mentioned before, the innate Dao patterns on my back are somewhat incomplete, and even I cannot fully restore them.
Therefore, even I cannot master the complete version of the Immovable Tortoise Seal.”
As he spoke, his words were filled with a sense of reflection.
He continued, “Young Friend Su, please state your terms. Whatever the Turtle Sect has, we will offer it to you.
We only hope that Young Friend Su will leave the Immovable Turtle Seal with the Turtle Sect.”
As he said this, the Ancestral Turtle’s tone remained incredibly sincere.
Upon hearing this, Su Jingzhen’s confusion became even more pronounced.
He was truly living up to his innate acting talent.
“Please forgive my ignorance, but I still do not understand what you mean, Senior.”
Although his tone was equally sincere, these words could also be seen as a feigned ignorance.
But at this moment, he had to say it, and the Tortoise Sect had no way of forcing him otherwise.
By deliberately not mentioning a price, he was essentially handing over the decision-making power to the Tortoise Sect.
Both the Sect Master and the Ancestral Turtle knew that Su Jingzhen was testing the sincerity of the Turtle Sect.
And they racked their brains to figure out what the Turtle Sect could offer in exchange for the perfect version of the Immovable Turtle Seal.
However, after a moment of contemplation, they both felt a heavy weight in their hearts.
Looking at all the things the Turtle Sect could offer, they all seemed too mundane compared to the perfect version of the Immovable Turtle Seal.
After all, the power Su Jingzhen had displayed with the Immovable Turtle Seal was more than capable of ranking among the top divine techniques in the Luo River Basin.
Even though the disciples of the Turtle Sect lacked the dragon bloodline and could not unleash the terrifying Dragon Turtle Form like Su Jingzhen, the Turtle Form alone was already incredibly powerful.
They could not afford to let it go.
The Ancestral Turtle and the Sect Master exchanged a glance.
Even without any verbal communication, a glimmer of understanding flashed in the eyes of the two old men.
Then the Ancestral Turtle said, “As long as Young Friend Su is willing to leave the Immovable Turtle Seal with the Turtle Sect, the Turtle Sect will be at your disposal from this day forward.
To put it simply, the Turtle Sect is willing to become your vassal!”
After much deliberation, the Ancestral Turtle and the Sect Master came to the conclusion that only the Turtle Sect itself could be considered a fair trade for the Immovable Turtle Seal.
However, this decision was not made lightly.
From Su Jingzhen’s performance today, they had indeed seen his limitless potential.
Binding the Turtle Sect to Su Jingzhen might be the turning point for the Turtle Sect to completely change and rise above the Luo River Basin.
As for the past grievances between Su Jingzhen and the Turtle Sect, it was just a matter of a few Unity Realm cultivators dying, right?
Wasn’t it just a matter of him wiping out a branch of the sect?
In the world of cultivation, these were not really important things.
Any enmity was temporary, but interests were eternal.
Not to mention, even if an Earth Tortoise Emissary, a branch sect, or even a Sky Tortoise Envoy and the Grand Elder all died at Su Jingzhen’s hands, it would still be a matter of weighing the greater benefits.
As long as Su Jingzhen was willing to give them the perfect version of the Immovable Tortoise Seal, the Turtle Sect could all laugh and forget their enmity.
After all, in the eyes of the Sect Leader of the Tortoise Sect and the Ancestral Tortoise, a Unity Realm Cultivator with limited growth potential could be mass-produced by a second-rate sect like the Tortoise Sect.
Compared to the perfect version of the Immovable Tortoise Seal, it really wasn’t worth mentioning.
Of course, these two old guys were smart. They didn’t ask for their Tortoise Sect to become a vassal of the Heavenly Dragon Race, they just wanted it to become a vassal of Su Jingzhen alone.
Once Su Jingzhen reached the pinnacle of the cultivation world, they would share in his glory.
And if Su Jingzhen were to fall along the way, they could simply become independent again without any loss.
However, when Qiu Yaoyao heard the Ancestral Turtle’s words, a look of shock appeared on her face once again.
She had thought that the Turtle Sect would offer their most valuable items to trade with Su Jingzhen.
She had also thought that the Turtle Sect might offer the numerous resources they possessed.
However, she had never imagined that they would be so bold.
To place an entire sect directly under Su Jingzhen’s control.
This was indeed beyond Qiu Yaoyao’s initial expectations.
At this moment, it wasn’t just Qiu Yaoyao, but also the Grand Elder, Sky Turtle Envoy, and the other elders of the Turtle Sect whose hearts were in turmoil.
They could hardly believe that this was real.
However, they didn’t dare to say much at this point.
The decisions made by the Sect Leader and the Turtle Ancestor were not something they could interfere with.
Their cultivation levels and realms were different, and of course, what they saw was different.
But in the hearts of all the members of the Turtle Sect, the decisions of the Sect Leader and the Ancestral Turtle could not be wrong.
Therefore, the decision was kicked to Su Jingzhen.
Whether or not to accept the Turtle Sect as a vassal was now up to him.
The attention of everyone present was focused on Su Jingzhen.
