Kou Wuji firmly refused.
He snapped, "This technique was one of the top Escape Techniques my grandfather went to great lengths to find. Earth Evasion is also the most practical of all Escape Techniques, not to mention this technique has other wondrous uses. How could I trade it to you!"
He spoke with righteous conviction, but Ye Kang understood perfectly.
Top Escape Technique, practical, other wondrous uses—in plain terms, there was only one meaning behind his words.
Pay more.
Ye Kang smiled. "Brother Kou, do you think mastering one Escape Technique is enough? If so, then I can only say it's a pity. This deal is off."
As if! They were both top Escape Techniques. One for one was the absolute most he'd offer, and Kou Wuji still wanted him to pay extra?
Dream on!
Kou Wuji blinked, realizing his little scheme had been seen through. He coughed, then smiled as if it didn't matter. "Brother Ye, don't take it to heart. The more top Escape Techniques, the better, of course. But how can I be sure the Escape Technique you give me is genuine?"
"That's simple. We swear a Dao Heart Oath. Whoever tampers with the deal won't break through to the Return to Truth Realm for the rest of their life."
Kou Wuji narrowed his eyes, thinking, This guy's playing for keeps.

In that case, this deal was entirely doable.
He said, "Brother Ye is a man of both virtue and talent, so I naturally trust you. I have one small request, though: you can use this technique yourself, but you can't pass it on to anyone
