Chapter 1572: Cao Sicong

[Unedited Chapter]

"We will try removing Ying Zheng from his position and supporting someone else. If that happens, you will loan us the title for a period," Wang Wei said. He only placed this clause in the contract so that he could have the title as an achievement for his Foundation Pillar. But in truth, Wang Wei did not have much hope.

"Are you plotting something again?"

"I will have the entire sect supporting me, so I don’t need any more merit," Wu Hong said. "Plus, I’m sure you will be able to buy plenty of things that can help you, even with only 20%."

"Although our dynasty alliance does not have the best shadow department, we leave a good part of our budget to buy information," Cao Sicong explained. "So, we know about how the Qin Court treated that woman called Hong Wa and the meaning of her existence to them."

Cao Sicong’s heart skipped a beat. His true self was in the middle of arguing with the other Primal Lineages because no one wanted to back down on such an opportunity. But if the Barbarian Race can support the dynasty alliance, the position will be his.

"One of my greatest talents is that I always know my limitations," Cao Sicong smiled. "But one thing I’m never humbled about is food. I can say for sure you’re about to have the best meal of your life."

"The liver is the element associated with wood. The chef artificially created or transformed the livers of other dragons into the other four elements before combining them with a natural wood element liver, achieving the perfect balance of the elements and taste.

"It seems Lord Cao is not convinced," Wang Wei smiled. "How about I prove it to you?" He waved his hand to replace the feast on the table with the dishes from his future wife.

"We will offer you our deduction on how to use the Human Position to enter the Soul Quintessence Realm."

"I have."

"Who made this?"

"I heard you were a man who enjoyed himself. I hope you have a good taste bud," Wang Wei said.

"She?" Cao Sicong said with squinting eyes. He thought of a certain rumor and figured some things out. He sighed dejectedly before looking down at the empty table. "I think I may have to fire my chefs after I return. No, these are talented people. Maybe I should share this spiritual meal with them and use the shame to motivate them to improve."

"What do you want me to pay?" Cao Sicong asked.

"Do you think we would joke about something like that?"

"Have you heard about Ying Zheng’s transcendence path?"

"Why not?"

"Well, let’s see," Wang Wei said as he took a bite at the dragon liver. This dish was a typical example of high-end cuisine in the cultivation world.

"Right now, your main spirit should be in a meeting with Saint Maitreya to sort out all the issues for this proposition to pass. In other words, it’s only a matter of time before Ying Zheng has his way. Our sect, or any other Overlords, cannot allow him to build such momentum without humbling him."

"What exactly do you want? No, I should ask what your sect wants with me?" Cao Sicong asked calmly.

"What do you think?"

"We will invest in you in two ways," Wang Wei continued. "First, we will loan you a Human Emperor Title on par with Ying Zheng. Of course, you still have to pay a handsome price even for this loan."

"What do you mean I must carry with me a special talisman at all times?"

"But I’ve had better."

"No way," Cao Sicong denied. Wang Wei tasted another dish, and this one was releasing a foul aura. He recognized the material was a devil creature called the Blood-horned Sheep. He took a bite and realized this dish was similar in concept to smelly tofu. While the unpleasant aroma immediately assaulted the senses, making the first bite experience slightly unpleasant, the intense flavors soon followed.

The only way to remove Ying Zheng from his position is to kill him, but with the latter’s strength and protection from the pendant, that is not something that can be easily achieved. free we\bnove(l).com

"I’m glad you asked," Wang Wei said as he placed an Existence Contract in front of him. Cao Sicong took a deep breath before reading the content. He immediately winced after seeing the price for just loaning the Human Emperor Title.

The food was indeed delicious, but as before, Wang Wei had better, and he was not shy about verbalizing this. For the next thirty minutes, he tasted every dish on this table; he would then comment on what made them unique before finishing with the words: I had better.

Cao Sicong manifested an entire feast in the spiritual realm. "Sit down and let’s enjoy ourselves while we eat. Although the food is strictly spiritual, you can still enjoy the sublime taste."

"You can remove the clause if you want."

"Lastly, I will convince the Barbarian Race to support you for one of the Emperor Positions."

"Did something happen?"

"Really."

"It’s only a suspicion for now."

"Time is running out," Wang Wei said. "I suggest you take a deep look at yourself. Then, compare the amount of money you will have to use in the exchange list on your own for a chance at sanctification and the amount you’ll pay for this contract."

"Wait, are you serious?"

"Here, this is for you," Wang Wei said as he teleported a small bag to her.

"Well, that’s nice of you," Wu Hong smiled. "But there is no need." The bag appeared in Wang Wei’s hands.

"Is that why he’s been acting a little bit cocky?" Cao Sicong muttered to himself. He lowered his head to look at the contract. It was very enticing. However, the price he will have to pay — including being monitored — was unacceptable.

Cao Sicong did not give Wang Wei time to answer as he tried every meal on the table. The man ate with a fever and passion. As he ate the last bite of food, Cao Sicong sighed deeply. "Here, I thought I had enjoyed the pinnacle of the Culinary Dao, but I was nothing but a frog in a well."

He winced a second time after seeing the price for the idea. "It’s just an idea — why is it so expensive?"

"True," Cao Sicong nodded. "So, what are the other investments?"

"Something from the taboo? You don’t mean —"

"I don’t mean that, but you could lower the price," Cao Sicong complained. However, he knew nothing would change after seeing Wang Wei’s smile. He had seen such an expression in countless greedy financial advisers in charge of the alliance’s treasury.

"That makes things easier," Wang Wei nodded. "Are you interested in fighting with him over that path?"

He looked at Wang Wei directly. "I’ll be honest. I’m willing to pay as much as one cloud merit for access to your chef."

Cao Sicong squinted his eyes. He understood the Dao Opening sect’s purpose.

"Something, it’s better to operate silently."

"So, it’s finally time to talk business," Wang Wei smiled. He savored the wine. He had to admit Cao Sicong had taste.

The prices were not exuberant because of his greed. He selected the prices based on things he expects most people would buy from the exchange list.
