Li Shifan paused for a moment, then said, "My advancement came from absorbing his Life Artifact, creating a deep connection. This will be quite beneficial for me down the line, so I won't stand on ceremony with you, Senior Brother."
Zhang Deming nodded. "Alright. If you're taking the sword hilt, I'll take the vine puppet."
Hearing this, Li Shifan nodded as well. "Okay, no problem."
"Then what about this Spirit Summoning Essence Soul Jade?" Zhang Deming asked, hesitating.
Li Shifan replied, "If you hadn't acted so decisively this time, Senior Brother Zhang, I doubt my ancestor and I would have fared well.
Ancestor's Life Artifact shattered and dissipated into the ether, and I would have likely ended up under Soul Control.
You're the one who did the most, Senior Brother. I may have covered the expense of calling for reinforcements, but that doesn't cancel out your contribution.
