"...Let me see." Lü Zhong read the Jade Scroll and saw that it did, in fact, record a recipe for an unnamed Spirit Liquid. Though he felt quite confident, he was careful not to over-promise. "If you can give me enough time, Senior, then concocting it shouldn't be much of a problem."
"Excellent. Since you've agreed to help, it's only right that I offer something in return." Cangmingzi chuckled.
Then, with a flip of his hand, he produced a Document Contract.
He passed it to Lü Zhong without so much as a glance.
"This is a contract of assurance, drafted by me and Luoying and overseen by the Celestial Dao. For a period of one thousand years, as long as you, Friend Lü, do not annex the four Southern Barbarian sects—Huayi Temple, Yan Zhen Sect, Celestial Blade Sect, and Xuanyang Sect—your safety will be guaranteed. If the Gui Miao Sect violates this contract and acts against you during this time, my Celestial Origin Immortal Palace will be responsible for stopping them."
