"In any case, this bead is indeed a fine item, crafted from a Dragon Ball of an Innate True Dragon."
"However, there's a big trap hidden behind it, just waiting for you to jump into it."
Xuanqing divulged the secrets of this special Chaos Pearl to Ming River.
Holding the bead in his hand, Ming River felt the joy brought by his advancent in the Great Dao diminish considerably.
He looked sowhat troubled.
After a mont, Ming River showed a relieved smile.
"That's more like it."
"I thought that after this retreat, when I broke free from my shackles, so things from the past would have changed."
"But then again, if my fortune changed suddenly, I'd suspect that soone was plotting against ."
Ming River joked half-heartedly, peacefully slipping the Chaos Pearl into his sleeve.
He was long accustod to his own rotten luck.
Fortunately, right after this breakthrough, he chose to share his joy with Xuanqing first.
Rather than imdiately studying the Dragon Ball he found.
"Eh? From this perspective, did I indirectly change my fortune?" Ming River thought happily, looking at Xuanqing beside him.
"In the future, if there's anything you're unsure about, you'd better be more cautious."
Xuanqing had already not much hope for Ming River's own luck.
He could only think of other ways to redy the situation.
For instance, after Ming River fully mastered the Innate Karma Fire Red Lotus, the situation should improve a lot.
After all, this top-quality Innate Spiritual Treasure has the effect of suppressing Qi Fortune.
[Hoping that the Karma Fire Red Lotus could stabilize Ming River's Qi Fortune?] Honestly, Xuanqing wasn't too sure.
Considering Ming River's unique situation, the more his Qi Fortune grows and stabilizes, the more dangerous it might beco.
In the short term, it might avoid so disasters.
But in the long term, it might accumulate small gains into a mountain, and when disaster strikes, it would be a big one.
Who could withstand that?
[Another solution must be considered from a different angle.]
Xuanqing thought, with Ming River being one of the top three figures in the Netherworld, it's not good for him to remain so unlucky.
Actually, Xuanqing did have a solution—establish a Great Sect.
That is to let Ming River first complete the great task of creation, forming the Asura Clan, and then attempt to establish the Asura Sect.
This thod, on one hand, can leverage the accumulation of Qi Fortune from creation and establishing the sect, and on the other hand, can disperse his own disastrous Qi Fortune among the Asura populace through transformation.
According to the properties of the Blood Sea and Ming River's "Blood God Child" Divine Skill, the Asura Clan naturally possesses a certain "undying" trait, making them very resilient.
Along with the protection of the clan's fortune and the sect's Qi Fortune, it could promote mutual advancent and balancing, which might truly resolve Ming River's disaster issues.
If that's still not enough, there are always the Six Paths of Reincarnation in the future!
One of the Paths is the Asura Path.
The "undying" Asura populace, supplented by the automatic replenishnt from the Six Paths of Reincarnation, solves the continuation issue of the Asura Clan.
And the Asura Sect would only recruit Asuras, not exploit other races.
This would also complete the self-closure of the Blood Sea's strength.
Xuanqing found this idea very interesting.
However, now is not the right ti to establish the sect.
The Underworld is not whole, and the Cycle of Reincarnation has yet to erge; it's too early to discuss the Six Paths.
But at least there's a direction now; they can slowly strategize for the future.
Putting his inner thoughts aside for the mont, Xuanqing turned to Ming River: "Keep this Dragon Ball in your hand for now, and don't use it."
"Do you have any good ideas?" Ming River almost instantly guessed that Xuanqing had a plan.
Xuanqing nodded: "This True Dragon Treasure Bead, you could use it to trade with Luo Hou."
"With Chenxing's capabilities, although he offended Luo Hou last ti, it doesn't an he won't do it again."
"What you an is..."
A quirky smile erged on Ming River's face.
He understood Xuanqing's intention.
Since this Chaos Pearl could directly access the First Temple guarded by the Ancestor Dragon.
Then, the next ti the Ancestor Dragon offends Luo Hou again, Ming River just needs to take out this bead at the right mont.
Luo Hou would likely be very willing to make a trade.
"Of course, you can also trade with Chenxing."
Xuanqing offered Ming River a "two-for-one" strategy:
"When this situation arises, just wave this bead in front of Chenxing, and also casually ntion Luo Hou."
"I think Chenxing would be even more eager to reclaim this Chaos Pearl."
Ming River blinked upon hearing this: "Can I really do that?"
"Why not?"
Xuanqing smiled and said, "You could even let both of them know about the existence of this bead separately, and then let them make offers."
Ming River laughed as well.
He said: "Then I decide whom to trade with based on who offers more benefits?"
"No."
Xuanqing shook his head.
"Not right?" Ming River was puzzled.
"Before that, you need to do one more thing."
Xuanqing earnestly instructed Ming River: "After they make their offers, you should reveal each side's offer to the other."
"That way, you can maximize your benefits."
After hearing this, Ming River's eyes lit up, showing an expression of having learned sothing profound.
"Of course, if you opt for this last thod of dealing, rember one thing."
Xuanqing advised: "Reveal both sides' ssages just once, then quickly wrap up and complete the deal."
"Definitely don't do it a second ti."
"Why?"
Upon hearing Xuanqing's words, Ming River was sowhat confused.
Indeed, as Xuanqing anticipated, he was planning to use this newly learned tactic to bounce between the two parties repeatedly to maximize his trading gains.
