"You are a Strength Path Gu Immortal, and also possess the Great Strength True Martial Physique. This Attitude Gu is not a necessity for you at all. Look at you now, you already have two Strength Path Immortal Gu. With my Strength Immortal Gu and Tyrant Strength Immortal Gu added, your battle strength will definitely increase significantly! At that time, even if you face a Rank Seven Gu Immortal, you will definitely have the power to fight! You might even be able to personally deal with Black City." Liu Chen said to Hei Lou Lan with a serious expression, his words filled with temptation.
For any Gu Immortal, being able to obtain such a powerful strength increase is an extremely tempting prospect. What Liu Chen was offering now was not just an increase in strength, but a qualitative change in power.
Hei Lou Lan listened to Liu Chen's words, and her heart couldn't help but waver. At the same time, personally killing Black City was an irresistible temptation for her.
However, she had given up Savage Rampage True Meaning for this Attitude Gu, and now she had to trade it away, which was difficult to part with. As the Clan Chief of the Hei Family, she had naturally inquired about the news of Hei Family's Hei Fan True Inheritance, which concerned the ownership of a Rank Eight Grotto-heaven, and also her future prospects.
To exchange two Strength Path Immortal Gu for a Rank Eight Immortal Gu, other Rank Eight Gu Immortals would probably go mad with joy!
Liu Chen knew that the chances of success might be slim, but he felt it was still worth a try.
Liu Chen knew very well that even if the trade ultimately failed, he still had Imitation Immortal Gu as a last resort. Although the power of this Imitation Immortal Gu naturally couldn't compare to a true Immortal Gu, at a critical moment, it might still play an unexpected role.
If he could truly succeed in exchanging for this Rank Eight Attitude Gu, then Liu Chen's plan could be smoothly implemented. He believed that with the help of this Rank Eight Attitude Gu, he would be unimpeded in the Five Regions. And after this Gu Exchange Convention, it would be the time for him to show his full capabilities.
"Stop wasting your breath, there's absolutely no way I'm exchanging Attitude Gu! I will definitely find a way to get other Sword Path Immortal Gu, and then exchange those two Strength Path Immortal Gu back." Hei Lou Lan's attitude was firm, leaving no room for negotiation.
Liu Chen was not surprised by Hei Lou Lan's refusal, after all, these two Strength Path Immortal Gu were very important to him. However, he also had his own calculations in his heart; at worst, he would just continue to borrow Attitude Gu for a while longer.
After all, he only needed to use Attitude Gu to approach that target. As long as he could successfully complete that matter, all of this would be worth it.
Moreover, there was only one Imitation Immortal Gu, and it was more suitable for it to be the heavenly essence treasure imperial lotus.
"Alright, since you're so insistent, then I can only look forward to your performance. However, I still need to borrow this Attitude Gu first." Liu Chen said, reaching out to take the Attitude Gu.
However, just as he was about to touch the Attitude Gu, Hei Lou Lan suddenly quickly retracted her hand, gripping the Attitude Gu tightly in her hand, and said unhappily: "You can borrow Attitude Gu, but you must sign an alliance agreement first! I won't easily believe anyone's verbal vows."
Seeing this, Liu Chen couldn't help but ask helplessly, "But Fairy Li Shan isn't here right now, how can I sign an alliance agreement with her?"
"Stop pretending, your Imitation Immortal Gu should already be able to mimic Mountain Union Immortal Gu. You are a Thieving Heaven inheritor, so possessing Imitation Immortal Gu is naturally within reason, and it's also why you borrowed Immortal Gu from us in the first place. Take it out!" Hei Lou Lan's gaze was like a torch, staring intently at Liu Chen, mercilessly exposing his disguise.
She and Fang Yuan had long heard of the existence of Imitation Immortal Gu, but this Liu Chen was truly too difficult to deal with, making him hard to fathom. How much of Thieving Heaven's true inheritance had he actually received? Even Hei Lou Lan couldn't determine this. Despite having the Rank Seven Fairy Li Shan as a backing, she still dared not be careless when facing Liu Chen, her heart filled with apprehension.
Seeing this, Liu Chen's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a bitter smile, as if Hei Lou Lan's exposure of his secret made him feel somewhat helpless.
However, with a thought from Liu Chen, the heavenly essence treasure imperial lotus in his immortal aperture suddenly changed. The originally crystal-clear precious lotus instantly transformed into a Mountain Union Immortal Gu resembling a small stone.
"You really can't be kept in the dark." Liu Chen sighed, took out the Imitation Immortal Gu disguised as Mountain Union Immortal Gu, and placed it in his palm.
Hei Lou Lan's eyes suddenly lit up. She finally saw the legendary Imitation Immortal Gu with her own eyes. Although she had been prepared in her heart, when she actually saw it, she still couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
"Imitation Immortal Gu is indeed in your hands." Hei Lou Lan affirmed in her heart, then said to him, "However, since you already have Imitation Immortal Gu, you should be able to mimic Attitude Gu, so why do you still need to borrow Attitude Gu from me?" Her brows furrowed slightly, and she looked at Liu Chen with a suspicious expression, clearly very puzzled by his actions.
"Because the place I'm going will have a Rank Eight Gu Immortal, and a Rank Eight Gu Immortal's methods naturally require a Rank Eight Attitude Gu to deal with." Liu Chen explained with a serious expression, "My Imitation Immortal Gu can at most mimic a Rank Seven Attitude Gu with seventy percent of its power, which is clearly far from enough for a Rank Eight Gu Immortal. To ensure foolproof safety, I will borrow Gu from you. As for other matters, I will not tell you."
Liu Chen's tone was firm, leaving no room for negotiation. He immediately drafted an alliance agreement, then handed it to Hei Lou Lan for her review.
"You!" Hei Lou Lan was shocked by the guy in front of her, who actually dared to poke the tiger's whiskers of a Rank Eight Gu Immortal.
In this Gu World where Venerables did not appear, Rank Eight Gu Immortals were already at the pinnacle of the Gu World. Yet Liu Chen, who was merely a Rank Six Gu Immortal who had just finished Undergoing Tribulation, was so confident in facing a Rank Eight Gu Immortal. Was this lofty ambition, or insatiable greed like a snake trying to swallow an elephant?
Hei Lou Lan took the alliance agreement and immediately sent it to her maternal aunt, Fairy Li Shan, via an Information Path Gu worm. Fairy Li Shan's Information Path attainment was much richer than Hei Lou Lan's.
Not long after, Hei Lou Lan received a reply from Fairy Li Shan. Fairy Li Shan carefully examined the alliance agreement, and only after confirming that there were no loopholes or traps did she allow Hei Lou Lan to sign the alliance agreement with Liu Chen with peace of mind.
With Fairy Li Shan's approval, Hei Lou Lan's doubts in her heart lessened slightly, and she and Liu Chen signed the alliance agreement.
Only then did Liu Chen obtain the right to use Attitude Gu as he wished.
