Early the next morning.

Liu Hao went directly to Lingxuan's courtyard and asked to see Lingxuan.

After meeting Lingxuan, Liu Hao also went straight to the point and discussed with Lingxuan about joining the Fire Spirit Sect and participating in the battle for resources.

Lingxuan had already expressed his position on this.

Therefore, when Liu Hao proposed it, he naturally agreed directly.

but……

But after Lingxuan agreed, Liu Hao said, "I still have a few requests, which I hope the master of Lingxuan can agree to."

Lingxuan asked, "What kind of request do you want, please tell me first."

"First of all, although I joined the Fire Spirit Sect, I hope I can gain enough freedom."

Liu Hao said, "I'm not a person who likes to be controlled, and I don't like to always be suppressed by others using my status. Therefore, I hope that Master Lingxuan can agree to this somewhat rude request of mine."

Lingxuan frowned slightly.

But he did not express his position directly, but continued, "Well, what about the second request?"

Liu Hao said again, "The second request is that if I don't want to do something, I don't like to do something, I hope the Fire Spirit Sect won't force me."

Lingxuan nodded and asked again, "Is there more?"

"The third requirement is that if, in this resource battle, we get the right to develop the 'Star Flame Mine', I hope to get the opportunity to enter it and practice first."

Liu Hao replied, "It's best to be one of the first people to enter directly."

Lingxuan's frown deepened.

However, he still did not express his position. He just said, "If you have any other requests, let's tell them together!"

"Gone!"

Liu Hao replied, "These are the three requirements I have!"

"Of course, since I have made such a request, I will definitely report accordingly."

"I will make certain contributions to the Fire Spirit Sect."

"I can't guarantee the size of the contribution."

"But, just like my third request, if I don't get a ranking in this resource competition and don't bring any benefits to the Huo Ling Sect, then my third request will be invalid.

"

"Even if Master Lingxuan agrees to let me in, I will not enter."

After hearing this, Lingxuan's frown relaxed.

There was also a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he said, "Since you have said so, what else can I say?"

After saying that, he smiled slightly and said, "Welcome to join the Fire Spirit Sect!"

Liu Hao slightly cupped his hands and saluted politely, "Liu Hao has met the sect leader!"

"Ha ha……"

Lingxuan smiled with satisfaction.

For him, the demands made by Liu Hao were indeed a bit excessive.

After all, you, Liu Hao, have not made any contribution to the Fire Spirit Sect, yet you have to make so many excessive demands. This is obviously not something he will agree to easily.

Even if he could agree, it would be impossible for anyone else in the sect to agree.

After all, Liu Hao's rescue of Ling Wan'er was a matter of kindness, but such kindness could not break the original rules of the Huo Ling Sect.

At least, in principle the rules must not be broken.

However, Liu Hao's last sentence is equivalent to solving all the problems.

If you have made a contribution, then it’s easy to say anything.

Not to mention just these requirements, as long as your contribution is large enough, even if you are strong enough to become an elder, it won't be a problem!

Therefore, Lingxuan did not feel embarrassed.

"However, there is one thing I want to remind you!"

After laughing, Lingxuan said again, "Don't have too much hope regarding the development rights of the Xingyan Mineral Veins!"

Liu Hao frowned and said, "Why?"

"Because the development rights of the Xingyan Mineral Veins come on a rotational basis. Only the force that wins the first place in this resource competition will be eligible to receive the development rights for the first 100 years."

Lingxuan replied, "The second and third place will be postponed for a hundred years accordingly. Moreover, it is not the right to develop independently, but the right to participate in the development."

"Our Huo Ling Sect is relatively special. As long as we can make it into the top five, we can participate in the development in the fifth century."

"In other words, even if we from the Fire Spirit Sect can reach the top five in the overall ranking, we will still have to wait for five hundred years."

"So, don't have too much hope, at least, not in the short term."

Hearing these words, Liu Hao's face condensed slightly.

Asked, "Sect Master, did you just say that the top five in the overall ranking? So, does this first place refer to the single first place, or the overall ranking?"

"If a single ranking is No. 1, it means that the overall ranking must be No. 1."

Leader Lingxuan replied, "As for second and third, it depends on the overall ranking."

"Because, a certain force is likely to take over all the top three."

"So, the better the ranking we, the Fire Spirit Sect's people, get, the more advantageous it will be for us."

Hearing this, Liu Hao was surprised.

Asked, "What the sect leader means is that in previous resource competitions, a certain force took the top three places?"

"It's not that it's happened before, it's that it happens often."

Leader Lingxuan replied, "In our third domain, the most powerful force is called the Diyang Sect."

"This sect is the sect where the most powerful existence in our human race, Tianyang Daozu, stayed before he became famous."

"In fact, this sect was not originally called Tianyang Sect, but was called Diyun Sect."

"Later, when he was almost wiped out, he was rescued by Tianyang Daozu, and he survived."

"And that battle can also be said to be the battle where Tianyang Daozu became famous."

"Afterwards, the Diyun Sect was directly renamed the Diyang Sect."

"Since then, no one has dared to take action against Tianyang Sect."

"In other words, Diyang Sect is actually a subsidiary sect of Tianyang Daozu of the first domain."

"This sect is the well-deserved king force in our third domain."

"Although the strength of the leader of this sect is similar to that of the leaders of sects such as the Xingsha Sect, his disciples and resources are far superior to those of other sects."

"So, when the younger generation of disciples competed in previous years, the Diyang Sect basically took the top five."

"Xingsha Sect occasionally takes second or third place. The only time it took first place was more than 30,000 years ago."

"That time, it was the Xingsha Sect who produced an incredible genius."

"It's a pity that that genius died early."

"Otherwise, it would be impossible to say that he would be another person in our human race who has great hope of entering the realm of the Yuanzu."

Hearing this, Liu Hao nodded.

Said, "In other words, our other forces basically only have the opportunity to compete for second place?"

"That's almost it. But..."

Leader Lingxuan smiled and then said, "In fact, this time the 'Xingyan Mine' was discovered by the Xingsha Sect and the Diyang Sect jointly."

"The two forces also really want to get the first-hand development rights."

"So, both parties found two different places for development."

"However, the Diyang Sect encountered difficulties during the development process."

"The way forward is blocked and they can't develop it."

"It is said that even with the power of the entire Diyang Sect, no suitable development entrance has been found."

"But the Xingsha Sect's side was cleared in one go, and even the Star Flame Stone has appeared."

"Now, the Diyang Sect can't sit still."

"He directly spread the news and encouraged other forces to share it."

"The Xingsha Sect naturally disagrees, but so what if we don't agree?"

"If the various factions in the third domain join forces, can the Xingsha Sect continue to develop?"

"It can be said that with the exception of Diyang Sect, it is almost impossible for other sects to monopolize such top-quality resources in the third domain."
