Upon hearing this, Song Nianchu smiled. "That's fine; anything else of equal value will do."
She certainly wouldn't complain about having more, even if there were many things she might not use herself. After all, the Five Palaces could put them to good use. Moreover, since her brothers had come to the Divine Illusion Realm, she had no intention of letting them return anytime soon. They could cultivate within the Five Palaces for the time being, but cultivation required resources. Since the people of the Second Palace had captured her brothers, she would use this as a pretext to squeeze some resources out of them for the sake of her brothers and Lin Chan’s group.
When the people of the Second Palace saw that Song Nianchu was determined to collect this compensation—especially with the Sun Temple’s Council of Elders standing on her side—they had no choice but to compromise, despite their deep resentment. The Master of the Second Palace never imagined that this single concession would cause the Second Palace's cultivation resources to shrink significantly, triggering dissatisfaction among several elders and directly affecting the future development of the Second Palace.
