> Because we know Jing Yuan's negotiation chips involved Luofu stability, Vidyadhara self governance, knowledge of 化龙妙法 (which direct impacts Vidyadhara long term survival), and some political power re-assignments.
Wait...wut? I agree with Luofu stability and power assignments, but where does the other stuff come from?
Vidyadhara governance involves the treaty signed between the high elders and the alliance, and isn't something that Jing Yuan has a say on. I mean, the reason he had Lingsha and Dan Heng face off against Taoran instead of going himself is because he has treaty clauses that would impede him if he was the one there. As well, officially the leader of the Vidyadhara on the Luofu right now is Bailu, who was never involved in any of this stuff. So I am not sure how this is a bargaining chip on JY's side?
As for 化龙妙法, Dan Heng doesn't remember any of it, Bailu never learned it, and the Precepters tried their best but never pried it out of Dan Feng. The only people who still know it are the other 4 Vidyadhara high elders. So I don't see how that can be JY's chip either.
> I don't need to know exactly what he's referring to. I'm merely stating that based on what we know of Jing Yuan's character and based on Taoran being confident there will be negotiations, we can infer the general shape of the types of interest "种种利益" is trying to imply, and it's unlikely to be referring to political dirt.
Em... dirt and secrets *are* the first and foremost things that come to mind. Because the Luofu story has been revolving around (1) Phantylia's external provocations of internal division and (2) internal corruption in the vague and complicated government system.
Saying that Taoran has any kind of control or influence over Phantylia is pretty laughable. He's her pawn, just like Dan Shu was, and the Borisin jailbreakers were (to the utter disgust of Hoolay himself). Theyr'e not anything even close to approaching an equal to her.
Oh, and possibly secret forbidden Abundance research, I guess. Though not sure how viable a negotiation chip that would be considering that info is supposed to be sealed when possible.
