Impossible, Absolutely Impossible! But It Wasn't Entirely Unnegotiable

It was precisely this strength that Wang Chen displayed that made this Dou Emperor respect him.

If an ordinary cat or dog had broken into the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, this Dou Emperor's attack would probably have already landed.

To become a top-tier power, even just a top-tier power in the Northwestern Continent, one absolutely cannot be some brainless saint.

Without taking several lives, it's impossible to deter those greedy people.

Wang Chen naturally did not refuse the arrangement made by this Dou Emperor.

They followed quietly behind the other party, accompanied by Queen Medusa and her two companions.

Before long, Wang Chen and his group arrived at a Reception Hall.

The Dou Emperor arranged for a servant to serve tea, and then sat down to wait.

Wang Chen had no complaints about this.

After all, he didn't send out a formal invitation beforehand.

They were already being very polite by not kicking us out directly.

Of course, this is mainly due to the strength that Wang Chen demonstrated.

Given his young age, he's very likely from some powerful organization.

To become a high-ranking member of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, this Dou Emperor was certainly not a brainless idiot.

It's impossible for them to do anything rude.

Having more friends means having more options.

In this world, unless there is a clear life-or-death conflict, people generally won't offend any faction without careful consideration.

The Dou Emperor expert from the Heavenly Serpent Mansion did not speak.

At this moment, he carefully observed Wang Chen and his group, trying to glean some information.

Wang Chen also remained silent.

Because the Dou Emperor before them was not someone capable of making decisions.

Revealing your purpose won't make any difference.

Wang Chen didn't want to waste his time talking to someone who was useless.

If Wang Chen didn't speak, Medusa and the others who had come with him naturally wouldn't speak either.

And so, the two fell silent in the Reception Hall.

"They've arrived."

Wang Chen took a sip of tea and sensed the aura of a Dou Zong level expert.

At the same time, several Dou Emperor Dou Zong level figures followed behind them.

Wang Chen put down his teacup, and a group of people walked into the Reception Hall.

"Hahaha. I was unaware of your presence, my friend. What brings you here?"

As soon as he stepped inside, the Lord of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion laughed heartily and bowed to Wang Chen.

"Um?!"

The Lord of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion was about to walk towards the main seat when he suddenly stopped.

His eyes fell directly on Qing Lin, who was standing next to Wang Chen.

"Whoosh!!!"

"Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils!"

The Lord of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion teleported directly to Qing Lin's side, took a close look, and exclaimed in surprise.

"Um!"

Just as the Lord of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion was about to reach out to examine Qing Lin more closely, Wang Chen grabbed his hand.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry."

I meant no harm, I was just too excited.

With his hand grabbed, the Lord of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion realized what was happening and quickly apologized.

You shouldn't apologize to me.

Wang Chen originally had no intention of making things difficult for this Lord of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion.

However, Wang Chen wouldn't be too polite to those who scared him.

After all, if things really turned sour, Wang Chen wasn't incapable of resorting to force.

He would rather put in more effort than let his own people suffer.

Yes, yes, yes.

"I'm so sorry, little sister. I was just too excited because of your special talent, and I startled you."

The Lord of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion didn't hold back and directly apologized to Qing Lin.

"Ah! It's okay."

Hearing the apology suddenly, Qing Lin, who had just joined Wang Chen's team, was also startled, and then spoke up.

Having received Qing Lin's answer, Wang Chen finally released her arm.

"I never expected that the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils would actually come to our door on its own."

The Lord of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion walked to the main seat, silently pondering the matter.

The Heavenly Serpent Mansion sensed this the moment the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils awakened.

Two Dou Emperor experts were specially assigned to go out and find the owner of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, and bring them back to train.

But to everyone's surprise, only two days after he left, the Awakened One of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils came to his door on his own.

This is an incredibly good thing for the Heavenly Serpent Mansion.

If we can bring this awakened being with the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils into the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, with the Heavenly Serpent Mansion's resources, we can definitely cultivate him into Dou Zun quickly.

It's not impossible that he could even become Dou Sheng in the future.

At that time, the Heavenly Serpent Mansion might become even more powerful as a result.

That is why the Heavenly Serpent Mansion attaches such importance to the awakened ones with the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils.

"No, this guy's strength is off."

After suppressing his excitement, his intelligence once again took over.

The Lord of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion also realized something was amiss.

Wang Chen's strength was such that he could grab his hand so easily.

"Something's not right. Achieving our goal this time won't be so easy."

After glancing at Wang Chen, the Lord of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion spoke again.

"My name is Zhen Bufan. May I ask how you address me, my friend?"

"Wang Chen."

"Brother Wang, what brings you to the Heavenly Serpent Mansion this time?"

Upon hearing the question from Zhen Bufan, the Lord of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, Wang Chen smiled slightly.

My goal is very simple.

Lord Zhen had already noticed that my companion's special talent was the legendary Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils.

I've heard that the Heavenly Serpent Mansion has the most detailed and comprehensive records of this kind of talent, so Wang Chen, have taken the liberty of going Heavenly Serpent Mansion to borrow some materials for my companion."

Wang Chen didn't hide anything and directly stated his purpose.

However, to reap benefits, one must also make sacrifices.

Therefore, after Wang Chen finished speaking, he also revealed his own bargaining chips.

"If the Lord of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion can do me a favor, Wang Chen will certainly not be stingy."

"I am now considered a Peak Tier 7 Alchemist. If the Heavenly Serpent Mansion can make things convenient for me..."

I can refine three Peak Tier 7 Barrier-Breaking Pill for the Heavenly Serpent Mansion free of charge.

Upon hearing Wang Chen's words, everyone from the Heavenly Serpent Mansion in the Reception Hall gasped in shock.

They never expected that Wang Chen, who was so young, would actually be a Seventh-Grade Alchemist.

Wang Chen? Seventh-Grade Alchemist?

"Could you be Wang Chen from the Jia Nan Academy?"

A Dou Emperor from the Heavenly Serpent Mansion who frequently traveled also spoke up to inquire.

When Wang Chen was certified Fifth-Grade Alchemist at the Jia Nan Academy, it attracted quite a bit of attention.

After all, this is the Northwestern Continent, Advanced Alchemist are quite rare.

Fifth-Grade Alchemist is already considered to be at the top level.

Considering Wang Chen's age at the time, it was even more shocking.

That is precisely why this Dou Emperor asked this question.

"If Jia Nan Academy doesn't have any other Wang Chen, then it should be me."

Seeing that someone actually knew his name, Wang Chen casually put on a show of bravado.

After receiving confirmation from Wang Chen, the Lord of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion was now caught in a dilemma.

For the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils is a guaranteed Dou Zun, and Dou Sheng is not out of the question.

He absolutely did not want to give up the Awakened One of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils.

However, Wang Chen's current status also means he cannot be offended.

At such a young age, he is already Peak Tier 7 Alchemist, so his potential for further growth is at least Ninth-Grade Alchemist.

Offending such an Advanced Alchemist would be a huge blow even to the Heavenly Serpent Mansion.

Two choices, two diametrically opposed results.

This was a truly difficult decision for the Lord of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion.

"I can't make that decision."

I'll ask the Supreme Elder to come out; you can discuss it with him."

As the head of the prefecture, Zhen Budan may not be as capable as his predecessors.

However, he also has one major advantage: when he encounters a problem he cannot solve, he will directly report it to the Supreme Elder.

They won't make rash decisions on their own, and they won't wait until things have gotten out of control before reporting them.

She may seem a bit weak, but she would never be the kind of person who doesn't know her place and offends the main character, then ends up being sent to her death one by one.

Without hesitation, Zhen Bufan immediately took out his emergency communication device and called the Supreme Elder over.

"Alright, the Supreme Elder has received the message and will be here soon."

"Master Wang, you should discuss this with the Supreme Elder then."

"OK."

After these words were spoken, the entire hall fell silent once more, and everyone fell silent.

This situation did not last long. Suddenly, a Spatial Channel appeared beside Zhen Bufan, and an old man walked out of it.

"What happened?"

After seeing that he had come out, he simply glanced at the scene and then asked Zhen Bufan a question.

"Supreme Elder, the awakened one with the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils has arrived at the Heavenly Serpent Mansion."

However, the other party already has other forces. This time, they came to see the information on developing the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils from the Heavenly Serpent Mansion."

"That person..."

Just as Zhen Bufan was about to introduce Wang Chen, he was interrupted by the Supreme Elder.

What's going on in your head?

You actually have to ask me about such a trivial matter.

You want to access our inherited scriptures without joining the Heavenly Serpent Mansion?

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

"We will never allow an outsider to see our traditions."

"If you don't join the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, where will you come from...?"

"Supreme Elder, please wait, please wait!"

Upon hearing the Supreme Elder's words, Zhen Bufan immediately reached out and pulled at Supreme Elder, interrupting him.

This situation angered the Supreme Elder, but he did not retaliate.

She simply kept quiet for the moment and looked at Zhen Bufan.

If he couldn't provide a reasonable explanation, he would definitely make Zhen Bufan understand why the flowers were so red.

"That young man's Wang Chen, and he's from the Jia Nan Academy."

He is already Peak Tier 7 Alchemist.

"As long as we agree, he will refine three Peak Tier 7 Barrier-Breaking Pill for the Heavenly Serpent Mansion free of charge."

Zhen Bufan briefly and quickly explained the situation.

"Cough cough."

Upon hearing Zhen Bufan's words, the Supreme Elder coughed somewhat awkwardly.

Such a young, Peak Tier 7 Alchemist is not to be underestimated, even by Dou Zun.

They are even more important not to be offended.

After all, offending Alchemist of this caliber would inevitably have very serious consequences.

The Heavenly Serpent Mansion's desire to recruit the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils was merely a ploy to cultivate a genius and allow the Heavenly Serpent Mansion to ride on its coattails and develop together.

However, being able to establish a relationship with a promising Advanced Alchemist can also help the Heavenly Serpent Mansion develop.

However, the differences between these two points still require some consideration.

"Hmm, Master Wang, your suggestion earlier isn't entirely unnecessarily unthinkable."

"However, this concerns the inheritance of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, so I cannot make such a judgment."

Therefore, I also summoned the other Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, and we discussed it together.

How?"

Although he was almost tempted, the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion did not make a decision immediately.

"Can."

Wang Chen agreed to the suggestion made by the Supreme Elder.

After all, he doesn't want to resort to violence if the problem can be resolved peacefully.

"Please."

The Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion directly invited Wang Chen and his group to discuss matters elsewhere.

After all, this is a major matter, and it's impossible to discuss it in such a place.

Wang Chen did not refuse and followed along with Queen Medusa and the other two.

Zhen Bufan, the nominal head of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, naturally had the right to join in.

Before long, Wang Chen and his group arrived at a relatively secluded courtyard.

Pushing open the gate to the courtyard, Wang Chen followed him inside.

In the reception room in the courtyard, the Supreme Elder poured a cup of tea for Wang Chen and the others.

"Please wait a moment, they will be here shortly."

"Now, please try the tea first."

"These tea leaves were specially roasted by me, Old Hu."

Hu Fei, the Supreme Elder, proudly introduced the tea.

"Good."

Wang Chen took a sip and gave the same assessment.

You should know that Wang Chen is Seventh-Grade Alchemist, and a cheat-like one at that.

Over the years, I've seen quite a few good things.

If Wang Chen considers it good, then this thing is indeed not simple.

This thing can increase Dou Qi and also slightly nourish the soul.

Of course, this had no effect on Wang Chen at the moment.

After all, he was just too strong.

However, for those below the Dou Ling level, this thing is an invaluable treasure.

Because this tea is very mild.

There's no need to worry about the toxicity associated with taking elixirs.

"What happened?"

Just as Wang Chen was about to place his teacup, two more Spatial Channel appeared beside Supreme Elder Hu.

A man and a woman each emerged from a Spatial Channel.

That is, the male Dou Zun asked Supreme Elder.

"That is..."

Supreme Elder Hu quickly explained the whole story and handed the choice over to the other two Supreme Elders.

After hearing the whole story, both Dou Zun frowned.

This incident is indeed unprecedented.

However, the final decision also had a significant impact on the Heavenly Serpent Mansion.

"So..."

The three Dou Zun then openly began to discuss their matter on the sidelines.

Before long, the three of them had reached a conclusion.

"Master Wang, the three of us unanimously agree with the method you proposed."

Upon hearing this result, Wang Chen's lips curled into a smile.

Since the other party is a wise man who knows when to yield, Wang Chen naturally doesn't need to put in much effort.

Although with his combat strength, dealing with three Dou Zun wouldn't be a big problem.

However, if it could be solved easily, he naturally didn't want to go through too much trouble.
