The Deal Is Complete, Leaving the Xiao Clan

Of course, another reason is that circumstances are beyond one's control.

The current Yao Lao is merely a remnant soul, capable of unleashing combat power at most at the Dou Zong level.

However, from his perception, Wang Chen's oppressive aura far surpassed that of Dou Zong.

Moreover, Wang Chen is an Advanced Alchemist, so he must be very proficient in the Soul Power.

Once a fight breaks out, he'll be no match for the opponent.

That's why the Yao Lao offered such a large sum of money.

After all, he didn't have many specific pill formulas in his Storage Ring; most of them were in his mind.

This is his biggest bargaining chip.

Wang Chen would never have taken action without being 100% certain.

However, if what I give is too little and cannot satisfy Wang Chen's appetite, it might force him to take a risk.

That's why the Yao Lao offered such an excessively generous offer.

Upon hearing the price quoted by the Yao Lao, Wang Chen naturally understood that this price far exceeded the value of the Green Lotus Core Flame.

However, it still falls short of his initial plan.

Wang Chen then took out two more Fragmented Map from his Storage Ring.

"This is Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame Fragment Map, which ranks third on the list of Heavenly Flames."

If you can collect them all, you'll have a chance to find and subdue the third-ranked Heavenly Flames on the Heavenly Flame Ranking.

Can this be traded for what I want?

Even Yao Lao was shocked to see Wang Chen throw out another chip.

The reputation of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame is far superior to that of the Green Lotus Core Flame.

Once obtained, it will undoubtedly bring about an extraordinary improvement.

Xiao Yan, standing to the side, was completely dumbfounded.

After all, the conversation between Wang Chen and Yao Lao was incredibly impactful for a nobody like him, who was only at the Dou Qi Third Stage.

Ninth-grade Pill Recipe, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, ranked third on the list of Heavenly Flames!

Is this something a mere Dou Qi Third Stage like him could possibly listen to?

"Your stakes are high, but they're still just Fragmented Map."

Having calmed down, Yao Lao also spoke.

This isn't about trying to lower the price.

After all, no one knows whether they can collect the complete Fragmented Map.

If there is any incompleteness, then the fragment of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame Fragment Map will be completely useless.

It can only serve as a collectible, to satisfy a particular collecting hobby.

"In that case, I will provide another cultivation gift package."

"I can provide pills for everyone from Dou Zhe to Dou Zong."

How about this?

Wang Chen didn't care about this condition at all.

After all, with his abilities, he wouldn't consume much of such a large gift pack of pills.

Besides, this is an investment in Xiao Yan.

Wang Chen was quite familiar with his cousin's character.

This person is definitely a promising investment; you won't lose money investing in them.

Moreover, if Xiao Yan could grow up faster, he would definitely be able to help me sooner.

"Phew~~"

Even the Yao Lao was shocked by Wang Chen's generous gift.

If he were in his prime, he would never have given such a so-called gift of elixirs a second thought.

A tiger fallen into the plains is bullied by dogs; a phoenix stripped of its feathers is no better than a chicken.

It would be a bit much for him to ask such a large gift of pills for his disciple Xiao Yan now.

With such a generous gift of elixirs, Xiao Yan's growth has undoubtedly taken a shortcut in life.

"I can at most double the formula, but not at all."

After pondering for a moment, the Yao Lao ultimately did not agree.

After all, his accumulated wealth was still too much.

"Add another strange flame, the Sea Heart Flame!"

Seeing that the Yao Lao was somewhat tempted but ultimately did not agree, Wang Chen directly offered a large reward.

"Sea Heart Flame?!"

Upon hearing Wang Chen's offer, Yao Lao's eyes widened in surprise.

"Indeed, it is the Sea Heart Flame."

"Although I don't have this Heavenly Flames in my hands yet, I know where it is."

"If you agree, I will go to the Black Corner Region, kill the Medicine Emperor Han Feng, and seize the Sea Heart Flame of the Strange Fire."

"Han Feng!"

Hearing Wang Chen mention that name, Yao Lao gritted his teeth in anger.

He treated Han Feng like a son back then.

They are absolutely dedicated to nurturing us.

But to his utter surprise, he was betrayed by the very apprentice he regarded as his son, ultimately leading to his tragic end.

It would be strange if he wasn't angry.

What he couldn't understand the most was that Han Feng betrayed him just for the Flame Mantra in his possession.

At that time, Han Feng was Yao Lao's only disciple. With his own talent, Yao Lao's guidance, and Yao Lao's connections, he was able to succeed.

They can then grow smoothly and successfully.

Even breaking through to the Saint is not entirely impossible.

It was naturally impossible for Yao Lao to pass on the Flame Mantra to Han Feng.

After all, the path to heaven has already been paved, how could the Yao Lao possibly agree to his disciple risking his life?

Putting aside whether the Flame Mantra can actually be mastered, the conditions for its cultivation and evolution are simply beyond the capacity of ordinary people to withstand.

Even a master like him almost lost his life when refining a single Bone Spirit Cold Flame.

If Han Feng were to cultivate the Flame Mantra, he would be risking his life.

He might die in his cultivation one day.

That's why he didn't pass on the Flame Mantra.

But to everyone's surprise, Han Feng, that rebellious disciple, chose to contact the Soul Hall to plot against him because of a cultivation technique that couldn't be guaranteed to be 100% accurate.

It was this experience that made him realize that sometimes what his apprentice needs is not what he thinks, but rather his own choices.

As for the ultimate consequences, he will have to bear them himself.

Therefore, after accepting Xiao Yan as his disciple, he explained the Flame Mantra to Xiao Yan, leaving the choice to him.

Yao Lao was quite satisfied with Xiao Yan as his disciple.

They also planned to dedicate themselves to nurturing Xiao Yan and helping him grow rapidly.

But to his utter surprise, he heard that name that had enraged him again.

"Han Feng!!"

Forcing himself to calm down, the Yao Lao said in a deep voice.

"I agree to your deal."

As long as you hand over these things to me, and also hand over Han Feng to me.

"Then I will pass on to you the pill formulas and alchemy techniques I have accumulated over the years."

"Good!"

Wang Chen was quite pleased to hear that the Yao Lao had finally agreed.

After so much planning, our wish has finally come true.

Sure enough, even after so many years, Yao Lao still couldn't forget his rebellious disciple Han Feng.

It was definitely the right thing to spare Han Feng's life back then.

If Han Feng hadn't been offered as a bargaining chip, Yao Lao probably wouldn't have agreed so readily.

"These things are for you first, and you can also trade some pill formulas."

"I'll settle the final payment after I've dealt with Han Feng."

Wang Chen tossed the Green Lotus Pedestal over directly, and then took out several hundred pills from his Storage Ring.

The fifth, sixth, and seventh grade pills were all leftovers from previous refining processes.

As for those low-grade pills, he had specially taken some time to refine them beforehand.

For Wang Chen, refining such low-level pills was as simple as eating and drinking.

It didn't take Wang Chen much time to finish.

"Can."

Without hesitation, the Yao Lao accepted Wang Chen's belongings and immediately passed on all his pill formulas and alchemy experience to Wang Chen.

The flood of memories took even Wang Chen some time to absorb and process.

Fortunately, his current spiritual realm is already quite impressive.

Even though this memory was enormous, it did not harm him.

It took Wang Chen about two hours to finally absorb and organize this enormous, somewhat exaggerated memory.

"Yao Lao, you..."

"Alright, that's enough."

Since I've decided to do business with you, it means I trust you.

All you need to do next is get rid of Han Feng and obtain the Sea Heart Flame.

The Yao Lao interrupted Wang Chen directly, speaking calmly.

According to Wang Chen's original trading method, both parties would first exchange a portion of their chips.

Once Wang Chen acquires Han Feng, the complete exchange will take place.

However, to everyone's surprise, Wang Chen's bargaining chips were incomplete; the Yao Lao actually gave Wang Chen all the pill formulas and alchemy inheritance.

If Wang Chen were to deny everything afterward, then the Yao Lao would be completely helpless.

Fortunately, Wang Chen wasn't that kind of person, otherwise Yao Lao would have suffered a huge loss.

Wang Chen is someone who believes in the principle of "treating others with respect, and receiving even greater respect in return."

Seeing that the Yao Lao trusted him so much, he was naturally very moved.

Then he took out two more items from his Storage Ring.

"Yao Lao, this Enhanced Soul-Nourishing Liquid will be of great benefit to you, so I will give it to you as a gift."

"And this puppet is the Heavenly Demon Puppet I crafted. Its combat power is comparable to that of Dou Zun, and it can also help absorb Thunder Tribulation."

Wang Chen quickly explained the two items he had taken out.

He hadn't originally planned to give these things away.

However, sensing Yao Lao's actions, Wang Chen still chose to give him a little more.

For no other reason than because my heart is at peace.

"This..."

Upon seeing the two items Wang Chen had taken out, Yao Lao was also extremely shocked and surprised. He opened his mouth as if to refuse, but ultimately could not utter a word.

Because these two things are indeed very important to them.

Leaving aside the Enhanced Soul-Nourishing Liquid, it was absolutely like nectar in the desert for his remnant soul.

And the Heavenly Demon Puppet goes without saying.

With the strength of Dou Zun, he could completely protect Xiao Yan and allow him to grow stronger.

"Alright, Yao Lao, there's no need to refuse."

Since you trust me so much, I won't be stingy.

"Thank you very much."

Ultimately, after being persuaded by Wang Chen, Yao Lao accepted the gifts.

After exchanging a few more brief pleasantries, Yao Lao and Xiao Yan rose to take their leave.

Now that everything was resolved, he naturally wanted to take Xiao Yan to cultivate diligently.

The Three-Year Agreement has been set. If I don't work hard in my cultivation, I'm afraid I'll be even more embarrassed later.

"Creak!"

Xiao Yan opened the door, and Xiao Zhan, who was outside, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Chen and Xiao Yan talked inside for several hours without making a sound.

As Xiao Yan's father, it was impossible for him not to be anxious.

"How about it?"

After Xiao Yan came out, Xiao Zhan immediately asked.

He was still a little reserved around Wang Chen, but he didn't have so many reservations around his son, Xiao Yan.

No problem.

My cousin said I'm great.

Faced with his father Xiao Zhan's question, Xiao Yan casually gave a couple of evasive answers.

He's still a bit dazed.

What he had experienced in the room was truly shocking to him.

Heavenly Flames, Ninth-grade Pill Recipe, and the like—they were being traded so casually.

As a time traveler who has lived through more than a decade, this experience has truly been an eye-opener.

Today's experiences over the past few hours have been more miraculous than anything he's experienced in the last ten years.

After successfully deceiving his father, Xiao Yan quickly left, preparing to return to his arduous cultivation.

The Three-Year Agreement, coupled with his experience today, has ignited a fire within him.

That desire to become a powerful figure and dominate the world fueled his even more diligent training.

After seeing off Yao Lao, Wang Chen also began to cultivate with his eyes closed.

Although it took more than two hours to organize the memories passed down by the Yao Lao.

But it's only a rough outline.

It will take some time to fully master so many elixir formulas.

Of course, Wang Chen didn't need to master all the pill formulas.

All you need to do is select and master the formulas that will be helpful to you later.

As for those low-level pill formulas that are of little use, he won't waste his energy on them for the time being.

I'll probably only learn it and increase my knowledge when I have time later.

The following day, Queen Medusa and her companions' brief period of seclusion finally came to an end.

After Queen Medusa and her companions emerged from seclusion, Wang Chen led them on a day of leisurely strolls through Wutan City.

He then went to see the Three Great Elders and clan leader Xiao Zhan, and informed them of his arrangements.

At the same time, it also left the Xiao Clan with a Heavenly Demon Puppet at the Third-Transformation Dou Zun.

With this thing in place, Wang Chen no longer needs to worry about the Soul Hall raiding his hometown.

After all, the other party would never have imagined that a small family in the Northwestern Continent could have a puppet at the level of a third-rank Dou Zun.

The experts of the Soul Hall in the Northwestern Continent have no chance of defeating this Heavenly Demon Puppet.

After everything was prepared, Wang Chen left with Queen Medusa and the others.

Thanks to the White Swan's terrifying speed, Wang Chen and his group quickly left Wutan City.

This time, Wang Chen's target is the Black-Corner Region.

The original plan was to take Queen Medusa and the others on a year-long journey of cultivation.

But since the Yao Lao trusted him so much, he couldn't let him down.

The purpose of returning to the Black-Corner Region this time is to deal with Han Feng and complete the deal with Yao Lao.

Anyway, traveling anywhere is still traveling, so a trip to the Black-Corner Region first is perfectly acceptable.

Queen Medusa naturally did not refuse Wang Chen's arrangement.

The group sped towards the Black-Corner Region at breakneck speed, propelled by the terrifying speed of the White Swan.

It took Wang Chen and his group a third less time than when they arrived, and they reached the Black-Corner Region.

He didn't head directly towards Han Feng's territory, but instead headed towards the location of the Jia Nan Academy.

This time, he doesn't intend to target only Han Feng.

Since we're going to make a move anyway, we might as well just do it decisively.

Scan the Black-Corner Region directly.

It's unrealistic to completely wipe out all the forces in the Black-Corner Region.

After all, in this dog-eat-dog world, evil people are born every moment.

After you clean up one Black-Corner Region, another Black-Corner Region will appear.
