Starting with the Sword Ancestor System: Xiao Yan, Your Harem is Mine!

101: The alliance was initially agreed upon, with each party taking what they needed.Inside a small pavilion filled with ancient books and the aroma of medicine, located in the core area of the Pill Tower.

The atmosphere was solemn and heavy. Elder Xuan Yi and Tian Leizi sat in the main seats, while Li Ao and the lifelike Soul body of Medusa occupied the guest seats. Although she was only a Soul body, the Pill Tower still prepared a special seat made of Soul-Nourishing Wood for her, showing ample respect.

”Junior Li Ao, and this... Queen Medusa,” Elder Xuan Yi spoke first, her gaze sweeping over the two before finally resting on Li Ao. ”After consulting with Elder Tian Leizi and remotely reporting to the President, the Pill Tower has reached a preliminary decision regarding the cooperation between our two parties.”

Li Ao sat upright, his expression calm: ”Senior, please speak.”

Medusa’s purple eyes slightly lowered as she played with a wisp of seven-colored Soul light at her fingertips, appearing indifferent, but in reality, listening to every word.

Elder Xuan Yi slowly said: ”The Pill Tower can form a ’Watchful Alliance’ agreement with the two of you. This agreement is not one of master and subordinate, but of equal mutual assistance. The Pill Tower will provide the following conveniences to both of you:”

”One, within the jurisdiction of the Pill Tower, we will provide the highest level of safety protection, ensuring that forces below the level of a Soul Hall Elder cannot openly attack you.”

”Two, opening up parts of the Pill Tower’s intelligence network to share non-core intelligence regarding the movements of the Hall of Souls, rare medicinal Materials, Ancient Ruins, and other aspects.”

”Three, allowing you, under suitable conditions, to borrow certain Cultivation Secret Realms of the Pill Tower, such as the lower levels of the ’Ten Thousand Fires Burning Heaven Tower,’ or some special Soul Power Cultivation chambers.”

”Four, when you need to refine Advanced Medicinal Pills, the Pill Tower can appropriately provide Materials and venues, and in certain circumstances, we can even invite an Elder to personally assist.”

The terms were quite generous, especially the intelligence sharing and the use of Secret Realms, which would be greatly beneficial to the current situation and advancement of Li Ao and Medusa.

”Then, what does the Pill Tower require us to do?” Li Ao asked directly. There is no free lunch in this world, especially under the threat of a behemoth like the Hall of Souls.

Tian Leizi interjected, his voice like muffled thunder: ”The Pill Tower requires your ’value’.”

”Firstly, it is your understanding of the Hall of Souls and the means to restrain it.” Tian Leizi’s gaze was sharp. ”Junior Li Ao, you must, within a certain scope, assist the Pill Tower in identifying and eliminating hidden Hall of Souls spies, and provide as much information as possible regarding the Hall of Souls’ core conspiracies. When necessary, you must personally assist in resisting the Hall of Souls’ incursions.”

”Secondly, it is your potential and combat strength.” His gaze turned to Medusa. ”Your Majesty the Queen has undergone Soul reshaping and possesses an Ancient Bloodline; her potential is limitless. We hope that when the Pill Tower is in need, Your Majesty can lend a hand. Naturally, this will be under the premise that Your Majesty’s strength has recovered and it does not endanger herself.”

”Finally, regarding the ’Soul Cleansing Divine Pill’ Pill Formula, and any other Pill Formulas or methods that may exist in the future that are beneficial for resisting the Hall of Souls, the Pill Tower hopes to have priority usage or sharing rights.”

The terms were clear; the core was to utilize the unique threat Li Ao and Medusa posed to the Hall of Souls, along with their own potential, to enhance the Pill Tower’s ability to cope with conflicts that might erupt in the future.

Li Ao pondered for a moment. These terms were within his expectations, perhaps even slightly looser than he had anticipated. The Pill Tower was clearly focused on long-term investment and had not made overly harsh demands.

”I agree.” Li Ao nodded. ”Resisting the Hall of Souls is my long-cherished wish. Sharing intelligence and mutually assisting against the enemy is only right. The matter of the Pill Formula can also be discussed.”

He paused, then looked at Medusa. Although their relationship was special, on such a major alliance matter, he still needed to respect her personal wishes.
