Persuading Long Yuan!

Li Long stood in the center of the stone chamber, facing those faintly gleaming pale-gold eyes without a trace of fear.

He knew the man before him was a Super Douluo, and he also knew that Long Yuan had little interest in matters beyond cultivation. His window of opportunity was limited, so he had to capture his interest in the most direct way possible.

He spoke in an even tone, without embellishment or exaggeration. "Elder Long Yuan, this is my plan: my martial soul is an Iron Rod, as ordinary as can be. In the Icefire Yin-Yang Well, there is a fifty-thousand-year-old Queen Medusa with the abilities of Petrification and Time Solidification. I want to seal it into my Iron Rod as part of my martial soul, allowing the Iron Rod to evolve these two abilities."

Long Yuan did not speak, but the faint light in his eyes flickered slightly.

Li Long continued, "After the sealing is complete, I plan to consume the Aromatic Silk Beauty and use the immortal herb's power to catalyze a further transformation in my martial soul. According to ancient records and descriptions in primordial texts, the Aromatic Silk Beauty can cause a qualitative transformation in plant-type martial souls and can also improve ordinary martial souls. If this step succeeds, the Queen Medusa sealed within the rod may be affected by the herb's medicinal power and undergo a bloodline ascension, evolving from a snake into a half-dragon or even a true dragon."

He paused there, observing Long Yuan's reaction before delivering his final point. "At that point, the Iron Rod will no longer be an ordinary iron rod. Strength and control, two systems combined into one. If this path can work, it will be a complete qualitative transformation for me."

The stone chamber fell silent for
