Li Ji'an's straightforward words caused Liu Jiuqian to slightly narrow his eyes.
He wants a promise!
Promises in the cultivation realm are not lightly made.
Though they don't carry the extreme repercussions of the Great Heart Demon Oath or a Soul Contract, which backfire if violated, they are still intertwined with karmic obligations, and cultivators, under normal circumstances, do not easily break promises.
"What kind of promise do you want?" Being able to straightforwardly ask for benefits, he's clearly not the usual loose cultivator ignorant of worldly affairs. Liu Jiuqian knew he couldn't deceive him, so decided not to pretend.
"I hope that one day I can seek Fellow Daoist Liu to purchase a noble Beast Pill." Li Ji'an didn't specify a Blood Pill, as that would reveal intentions too clearly, and before reaching Foundation Establishment, it's not suitable to expose Gugu as a trump card.
"Purchase a Beast Pill?" Liu Jiuqian's expression relaxed slightly.
