The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 2820 Three Conditions

It only took the Jade Skull a change of mind to let Chen Mo go and send him to death. This also shows that the Jade Skull had a low bottom line when he was alive. The change in his mind was really fast and seamless.

People who practice Taoism fight against heaven and against people, no matter what happens, it doesn’t matter. Only those who can make choices back and forth and whose bottom line is changeable can live long.

Of course, Chen Mo didn't know, and he was not so shameless because he was still young. Maybe when he was older, he would become like the Jade Skeleton, with no bottom line.

However, Chen Mo's heart was filled with alarm. From the beginning till now, he had never believed in this jade-colored skeleton. After all, turning oneself into a skeleton and losing flesh and blood in order to survive was not something that ordinary people could endure.

In addition, this kind of secret method definitely has certain requirements. After all, if you want to gain something, you must lose something. So although Chen Mo showed great interest, he rejected it in his heart.

Chen Mo didn't need this secret method, and he even rejected it. After all, if he really reached this point, he would have to close the gate of life and death like the jade skeleton. If he couldn't advance, he would rather die than become a skeleton. It was really boring.

He is not so shameless as to live just for the sake of survival.

However, at this time, you cannot show any rejection of the secret technique, and you have to pretend to like it, and also pretend to be greedy.

After all, this jade skeleton was definitely a powerful person in the past. His own cultivation must be higher than the Golden Core stage. Maybe he is at the Nascent Soul stage like his master Ye Shang. His current strength is limited to this extent, but it cannot be said that he was not powerful before. The most important thing is that this old guy can survive the mysterious gate of life and death and live in the state of soul for thousands of years, or even longer than thousands of years. This is definitely a capable and scheming guy.

Therefore, Chen Mo kept repeating to himself that he must be careful and not underestimate the skeleton in front of him.

"How about it, can we trade?" asked the Jade Skull.

"Sir, I wonder what you want to trade with this secret method?" Chen Mo asked.

"Give me back the storage ring you picked up. It's the ring I lost." said the jade skull.

Although he didn't want to say this, he had no choice. If he continued to fight, his soul power would be consumed too much, and it would be a problem to repair and replenish it later. Even if the soul power could be repaired and replenished, it would take time.

Restoring the soul is the most troublesome thing in the world of cultivation, so try not to waste it if you can.

The storage ring contains what you need, so you must exchange it back.

Of course, the Jade Skull was actually quite frustrated, because the storage ring was originally his own thing, and he had never left the cave. The ring was not far from him, but if he wanted to use it, he had to exchange it with the little guy in front of him, and he had to put forward conditions, which was really a bit helpless.

The jade skeleton looked at Chen Mo, but there was great hope in his soul. Fortunately, his whole body was a skeleton, so he didn't show his expression. However, the soul power emitted by the skeleton made Chen Mo feel that the jade skeleton in front of him was not as calm as it appeared now.

But no matter what, it is absolutely impossible to exchange this storage ring with that secret method. Although Chen Mo has no way to check the storage ring, he also knows that there are definitely all kinds of good things in a storage ring, so it is wishful thinking to want to exchange it back with a secret method.

"My secret method can allow me, a cultivator, to leave my body and preserve my soul when I am at the critical moment of life and death, or at a critical moment of life and death. I can also wait for an opportunity to restore my body to flesh and blood. This secret method is a rare good thing." The Jade Skull said again when he saw Chen Mo thinking.

He wanted to use this argument to magnify the greed of the young man in front of him. In this way, he might be able to easily exchange it back.

As for the fact that the secret technique has such powerful functions, it is absolutely true, but he will not tell Chen Mo the price paid.

Anyway, there is no benefit for a dying person to know too much.

Hearing the words of the jade skeleton, Chen Mo knew that the skeleton was definitely anxious, but he actually wanted to exchange, just to add some chips. Moreover, he could roughly guess what the skeleton in front of him was planning.

However, who is the hunter and who is the oriole? No one can tell clearly until the end.

Chen Mo laughed, shook his head and said, "Sir, although I have expectations for your secret method, you don't have to say too much. You and I are both cultivators, so we can both understand that the reason why secret methods are secret methods is that they are passed down in an orderly manner, and the other is that there must be a price to pay when using secret methods. In fact, this price may be very high."

There was a surge of spiritual power around the jade skeleton's body, but it eventually dissipated. He stabilized his mind and said to Chen Mo, "So do you not want to exchange, or do you want to exchange for something else? Tell me, maybe we can still make a deal."

Chen Mo nodded and said, "Although I haven't checked what's in this storage ring, I guess there are definitely a lot of good things in it. So, it's still a little bit lacking to just exchange it for a secret method..."

Although the words were not finished, both of them knew what it meant. The soul of the jade skeleton felt like exploding, but in the end it did not explode because he still wanted to live.

Why are young people nowadays like this? They are not easy to fool! Yes, thousands of years have passed, and they should have learned their lesson. If I had been as smart as this young man, I would not have ended up like this. I have turned into a skeleton before I even passed the threshold of life and death. What the hell!

"Then tell me, what else do you want? Tell me. If I can do it, I will agree. If I can't, then we will continue. In the end, it will depend on whether you are stronger or I am stronger." The jade skull took a deep breath and suppressed his soul that was gradually wanting Hong Wen.

Chen Mo stretched out three fingers, put one away first, and then said, "There are three conditions. The first one is to let me and these three people go."

When the Jade Skeleton saw Chen Mo's other hand pointing at the three people lying on the ground, he was speechless. If they all left, where would he find someone to take over their bodies? Would he have to wait another few thousand years?

"No, it's okay to let you go, but I can use these three people." The jade skull shook his head and said.

Chen Mo guessed that if the Jade Skull wanted to survive, it might choose to take over another body, so he said that the three people were useful, maybe to take over another body. But he wouldn't say it, otherwise the conditions might not be discussed and the battle would continue.

"If you can't agree to the first one, then it means there is nothing left for you and me to talk about?" Chen Mo asked deliberately, and immediately raised the jade sword in his hand, ready to attack the jade skull.

The Jade Skull was also stunned when he saw Chen Mo's actions. Why are young people nowadays so impatient? He turned hostile before he even finished speaking. Didn't he know that he was negotiating terms? Why did he want to fight right away when he said that the negotiation couldn't be successful?

Can young people keep a calm mind and not be so anxious? Otherwise, it will easily lead to liver fire. Do you know that?

The Jade Skull had something to ask of Chen Mo, so he could only wave his hand and said, "Young man, be patient. Are these three people important to you?"

"Well, not really, but there is some relationship." Chen Mo said.

"Then let's do this. Leave one for me and release the other two. This is my bottom line. If it doesn't work, then there's really no room for negotiation." said the jade skull.

He wanted to survive, wanted flesh and blood, wanted to cultivate again, so he had to have a physical body, so choosing one was the bottom line, there was no choice. Previously, he had thought of leaving three, not only to be able to choose the one with the better physical body, but also to devour three soul bodies and replenish his lost soul power.

Chen Mo looked at the three old men lying on the ground, and finally pointed at Ma Sanxing and said, "How about leaving this one for you?"

This Ma Sanxing is the weakest innate. Even after taking over the body of the skeleton in front of him, he can't recover his strength immediately. So even if he fights against it, he can still win. Besides, he still has a trick up his sleeve. Who knows what the result will be when the time comes.

The jade skull looked at Ma Sanxing. Although he was weak, he was in relatively good health. Unlike the other one, he had reached the end of his lifespan and his body was on the verge of collapse.

"Okay, then leave this one for me, and continue to talk about the other two conditions." The jade skull said. The one he saw whose body was about to collapse was Zhou Zixing. Although his strength was at the peak of the second-level innate state, his soul was old, his body was about to collapse, and his life span was about to end. Even after taking over another body, he might not live long. It was simply a waste of time, and he had to look for the next person to take over.

It is not easy to possess another person's body every time. Whenever it involves the soul, it is not only dangerous, but each time it happens, it will cause memory confusion. It will take a huge amount of time to sort out the memories after possession, and it will also require elixirs or spiritual medicines to repair the soul.

Therefore, the Jade Skull masters the secret technique and is also very cautious.

Seeing that the Jade Skull agreed, Chen Mo continued, "The second condition is that you give me the two toothed knives in your hand and the saber-toothed tiger."

He had long been jealous of the two toothed knives. As for whether the saber-toothed tiger could survive without a soul, it didn't matter. Because in his opinion, the saber-toothed tiger still had hope of resurrection. As for how to revive it, the time had not yet come, so he had to wait.

The Jade Skull was also stunned when he heard this condition. This condition was really unexpected. Although these two serrated knives took some time to refine, they were nothing compared to the storage ring.

Besides, even if I give this serrated knife away, it will still be mine in the future, as long as I give this little fellow in front of me...

As for the saber-toothed tiger, he didn't even consider it. There was no need to consider it.

Therefore, the soul was already smiling, but nodded in agreement calmly: "Okay, there is no problem with this condition. Tell me your third condition!"
