Ma En followed Tang Xueluan to the spacious and luxuriously furnished living room. A middle-aged man who looked seven or eight years younger than Shu Shengyuan was already sitting on the main seat waiting for them, and he was Tang Xueluan's father Shu Yunpeng.
After seeing them come in, he first looked at Ma En and expressed kindness with his eyes, then vaguely glanced at his daughter standing behind him, and paused for a moment on her.
Although he didn't show any expression, Ma En felt that he was making sure that his daughter was okay, and this also made Ma En feel much better about him than the old immortal just now.
After Tang Xueluan and he had both sat down, Shu Yunpeng looked at him calmly again.
"Ma En." "Xiao Luan has already told me your proposal. If my understanding is correct, your master should want to establish a special organization here."
Ma En nodded:
"Yes, he wants you to help establish a sect here and experiment with some of his ideas on ordinary people here. Moreover, this sect must be completely independent of your control."
Shu Yunpeng showed a slightly embarrassed look, then frowned slightly and said:
"You should know that this is a very harsh condition. It is almost impossible for the Federation to accept such a request and allow a super-level ability user with questionable origins to establish his own power here.
"Not to mention helping him establish his power, even getting the federation to allow him is very difficult."
Ma En also nodded slightly in agreement:
"I know this very well. If I didn't have a choice, I definitely wouldn't do this for Xiaoyao. I don't have a good impression of Xiaoyao itself, so I came to you for cooperation."
What he said was actually an expression of his intention to join forces with the Shu family in secret. Their cooperative relationship could be more intimate and credible than his relationship with Xiaoyao.
"I understand your difficulties very well," Shu Yunpeng said, "but this matter may be much more difficult than you initially thought. Although our Shu family is not a small force in the federation, this kind of thing is not something we should waste our time on. To the extent that it can be solved with time.”
Although Tang Xueluan was very surprised by Ma En's words at the time, Shu Yunpeng did not seem to decide to cooperate with him in depth because of this, and also expressed strong concerns about this matter.
Tang Xueluan, who was sitting next to them, actually knew that his father did not really want to refuse cooperation with Ma En. After discussion, the Shu family had basically decided on this matter. Unless something unexpected happened, they would definitely agree to follow him. Ma En, who was in danger, joined forces to extract benefits from the Federation and Xiaoyao.
But it is precisely because they know that Ma En's situation is not so good that the Shu family also wants to take the opportunity to negotiate more favorable conditions for the Shu family before formal cooperation. After all, it seems that he can only cooperate with them now.
They want to take ownership and control of this collaboration.
Ma En also noticed this:
"I know this matter is not simple, that's why I came to you, but you don't have to worry, Xiaoyao actually knows very well what the federation wants to get from him. After establishing the sect this time, Xiaoyao will also be here The world selects a few truly talented humans to teach them techniques from the world of cultivation.
….
"And he is also willing to give some special quotas to the federation so that your members can learn his techniques. These special disciples from the federation do not need to bear any responsibility. After learning the skills, they can bring them back to the federation at any time.
"He also promised not to use any encryption means to prevent you from exploring the techniques and techniques of the world of cultivation.
"how?"
Shu Yunpeng was actually quite surprised when he heard this promise, but he did not show any joy on his face. Instead, he frowned slightly and asked Ma En:
"Then will he teach the members of the Federation about immortality technology?"
Ma En said:
"Cultivation itself is the best life-extending technique, but I think you are talking about the simpler kind. Then I can tell you that he will indeed teach various techniques including alchemy in the sect, and I think he It is likely that other longevity technologies will be developed."
Shu Yunpeng raised his eyebrows slightly:
"You don't think you can convince the Federation."
Ma En paused and said:
"He does give you some techniques for longevity without any effort."
Shu Yunpeng asked:
"To what extent."
Ma En said:
"Initially he will give some pill making methods that can only extend life span for a few years, but once the sect is established, other more advanced techniques will definitely be taught, and your people will definitely have the opportunity to learn them."
Shu Yunpeng knew that Ma En would not give him a particularly positive answer, so he adjusted his sitting posture slightly, looked at Ma En with a sincere expression and said:
"The conditions you gave are still very harsh for the Federation, but in fact if we work hard enough, there is no chance that we can get this condition for you. The problem is that for the Shu family...
"not worth it."
The look he looked at Ma En was sincere and contained quite complicated meanings.
Ma En showed an "I understand" expression and then asked:
"So what do you want?"
Shu Yunpeng casually pulled out a document and handed it to Ma En:
"We want to get the most basic guarantee in our cooperation with you. I know that you want to break away from Xiaoyao's control, and some members of the Shu family feel that this will cause you to become unstable, possibly in advance when we don't want it. To end this whole cooperation is beneficial to both of us, so we want to sign a contract in advance.”
Ma En glanced at the so-called contract seemingly casually. There were no clauses in it that were really unreasonable and unacceptable, but there were many details that secretly blocked his retreat.
Even though Ma En did not need these escape routes, he still showed a look of refusal:
"No, it's impossible for me to accept your conditions."
Shu Yunpeng said calmly and firmly:
"This was not proposed by me, but was negotiated collectively by the Shu family. If you don't sign, we won't be able to make back our money in this cooperation. We are not talking loudly.
"We just want to make sure we don't lose money."
Ma En looked into his eyes and said:
"Maybe you can listen to my terms."
Shu Yunpeng nodded and said:
"certainly."
But he looked as if he didn't care at all about what Ma En was about to say.
Ma En spat out a few very powerful words:
"Three longevity pills."
Shu Yunpeng was stunned:
"What?"
Maan repeated:
"Three longevity pills are what you can get after cooperating with me.
"how?"
The value of these three longevity pills is indeed enough to shake any family or force. Even though the Federation has obtained ten longevity pills through Xiaoyao, all of them must be used in research, and no one can secretly obtain them.
If anyone wants to secretly eat the longevity pill that belongs to the Federation, he will be chewed up and swallowed by the "Federation" first.
However, unlike Ma En's imagination, Shu Yunpeng did not show surprise after hearing this condition. Instead, his expression became a little worse, and then he opened his mouth to say something.
But for some unknown reason, he paused strangely, and then remained silent for a few seconds as if he had swallowed what he originally wanted to say. Then he replied reluctantly:
"make a deal."
