After a week, princess Dong Lifen and her master Yu Siyu met Wang Wei and his group in a private room of a restaurant.
The princess was once again surprised. Although she could not tell the cultivation level of these people, however, given how respectful her master was to these young people, she could guess that they were in the same realm as Young Master Wang Wei.
Many of her previous skepticism were removed after this meeting. Especially when she saw how beautiful both Wang Ju and Yan Liling were; she knew that Young Master Wan Wei did not lie when he said he was not after her beauty.
Inside, everyone was eating and drinking tea. After taking a sip of tea, Dong Lifen had an ugly look on her face. Ever since she tasted the Longxue tea, every other tea she drank tasted like piss to her.
"So princess, have you made a decision?" asked Wang Wei.
Dong Lifen nodded her head and said; "Yes young master, after thinking about it, I decided to work with you."
"Wise decision." After saying this, Wang Wei waved his head to Wang Ju who placed three things on the table: a book, two bottles of pills, and a brocade box.
After opening the brocade box, two rings laid there. Then he explained:
"These two rings are space rings. I noticed that this thing is actually quite precious in your world, so this is the first gift I give you to show my sincerity to work with you."
"In these two bottle of pills, one contain Blood Nourishing Pills, which can increase your cultivation of blood qi by at least three times."
"In the second bottle, there is a very precious pill known as the Foundation Reinforcement Pill. As the name suggests, this spill can actually strengthen the foundation of a person."
"I have prepared this pill especially for your master. After she takes it, her Normal Foundation can increase to a Holy Foundation without having to abolish her cultivation and start over."
Yu Siyu became excited as soon as she heard this. After knowing the secrets of the different foundations, she guessed that the young master will probably prove her disciple with a way to have a better foundation.
However, she worried about herself. She had already stepped into the Divine Sea Realm and her foundation was already set. Her disciples told her to abolish her cultivation and start over, however, she could not make a decision. After all, she has been cultivating for more than 250 years, as such, it is not easy to just abandon everything just like that.
Now, she did not have to make the decision. With this pill, she has hope for a better foundation, thus also hoped for reaching higher realms.
"Young master, these two things are indeed very precious, so I would like to thank you. I've always wanted a space ring of my own, however, only Royal Father has one and he refused to give it to me. What about the book?" asked the princess with a bright smile.
"This book will allow you to cast a Supreme Foundation."
"What about the Dao Foundation?"
"You are very ambitious," suddenly said Yan Liling. "Do you have any idea how precious such a book is even in our world? How many people would kill to have it? If any news of this method were to leak out, countless people would not hesitate to destroy this little world for it."
Yan Liling's words woke up the princess from her moment of greed. She apologized and started to read the cultivation technique, however a gleam of desire and determination flashed deep in her eyes.
After going over the cultivation method briefly, she looked at Wang Wei and asked: "Is this technique incomplete?"
"Of course Princess, although you and I entered an alliance, you have not made any accomplishment to our cause. How can I just hand you such a powerful cultivation method?"
Dong Lifen nodded, however, she was not happy about this. After noticing her mood, Wang Wei explained: "You do not need to worry, as long as you accomplished the task given to you, the rest of the technique will also be given to you."
"Furthermore, I specially chose a cultivation that perfectly matches your Dream Manifestation Soul."
"This technique came from a very powerful sect in our world called the Eternal Dream Sect and they have trained more than one Great Emperor that cultivates the Dao of Dream. Although this technique is not their best, it can also be considered in the top 20."
The only reason that Wang Wei had access to this technique was due to the fact that the Eternal Dream Sect was a very close ally of the Dao Opening Sect. At one point, the two sects even exchange scriptures as a form of alliance.
Although they did not exchange Emperor Scriptures, many Supreme level methods were exchanged. Wang Wei read about a few of them in the library and remembered them.
"Young master, what do I need to do?" asked the princess after calming down from both disappointment and excitement.
After hearing her words, Wang Wei took a few talismans from his space ring and separated them.
"This talisman is called the communication talisman, which is used for us to communicate no matter the distance."
"Oh, so it's like the Flying Pigeon Hex?"
"Flying Pigeon Hex?"
Seeing the confusion in Wang Wei's face, the princess explained that the so-called Flying Pigeon Hex is actually what cultivators use in this world to communicate.
After the explanation, Wang Wei understood that this pigeon hex is actually just another name for the communication talisman in this world--except that it transmits written letters instead of direct voice.
As for the reason it has such a weird name, well according to the princess, since mortals used flying pigeons to send letters, the inventor of this talisman just used the same name.
Wang Wei was speechless after hearing about this. Although he and his team have information about a lot of things in this world, it will take some time for them to adapt to the culture.
Wang Wei took a moment to remove the distracting thought from his head. Then, he explained the purpose of the other talismans to the princess.
"You need to place these talismans in different places of the capital city. Their purpose is to prevent any communication--from formation or talismans--from reaching there. Essentially isolating the capital from the rest of the kingdom."
"In addition, princess, you need to use your own people to intercept any messengers coming from anywhere in the kingdom. If there is any information about our actions, you need to prevent it from reaching the royal family. And if you cannot stop the message, then at least reduce the level of threat we seemed to pose to the upper echelons of the kingdom."
After saying this, Wang Ju handed Dong Lifen a map of the places that the talismans need to be placed. Soon afterward, princess Dong Lifen and her quiet master secretly left the restaurant.
Few seconds after their departure, Yan Liling asked, "Big brother Wang Wei, do you really trust her just like that? What if she betrays us after gaining all the benefits?"
"You do need to worry about this," responded Wang Wei. "I already have Wang Ju secretly monitor the princess at all times."
"And if she betrays us, then we just have to kill her. She is not that essential to the overall situation."
Wang Wei was calm when he said this. To him, the princess was nothing but a way for him to speed up the process of capturing this kingdom. If she cooperates with him, he will not treat her badly.
This could be seen by the fact that he used a precious Supreme Tier technique to motivate her.
However, if she decides to betray him, he will not hesitate to kill her, then use more fierce and brutal means to capture this kingdom.
"So, big brother, which place are we going to attack first?" asked Li Jun with a fierce fighting intent on his eyes. Wang Wei could swear that this guy begin to look more and more like the Battle Maniac Emperor.
"The borders are our main target first. I don't want this country to be breached by others while I'm slowly building power. As such, we must control all the border cities and states."
After that, Wang Wei looked at Wang Ju and asked, "Did you get all the information I asked for?"
"Due to the limited time, we only gathered a few pieces of evidence. However, by the time we arrive at the borders, everything should be ready and prepared."
"That's good. We have to hurry now given how much ahead a lot of our competitors already are."
After that, Wang Wei and the three others journeyed for a whole half a month before arriving at the borders.
The groups arrived at a city called Iron Wall City, which is a border city that prevents the advancement of the Iron Fist Kingdom.
The Iron Fist Kingdom is famous in the eastern regions due to its mad monarch. The monarch believes that war is the only thing that can fuel the existence of humanity; without war, a man cannot be considered a man. Without war, a man cannot be considered to be alive.
As such, the Iron Fist Kingdom is always fighting with its neighboring kingdoms. What's even worse is the fact that the majority of the people of the kingdom actually agree with the mad king.
Wang Wei's first step of action is to take control of the Iron Wall City and establish a foundation before taking over the entire Eastern Rain Kingdom.
