Reaching the pinnacle from Doupo

Chapter 314: Transaction
"Transaction?" Tang Zhen raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "Interesting! What kind of transaction is it? Mr. Yaojun, please tell me directly."

“Haha!” Lin Yuan smiled faintly and did not answer directly. Instead, he asked softly: “Since Master Tang knows that I am titled Medicine Lord, do you know what kind of elixir I refined in the eighth-grade assessment of the Dan Tower?”

"This matter has spread throughout Zhongzhou, so I naturally know about it!" Tang Zhen nodded and praised: "Sir, you have refined a pill and passed the test with it!"

At this point, there was a hint of amazement in his eyes as he looked at Lin Yuan.

If he was just an eighth-rank alchemist at the age of twenty, the name of Medicine Lord would not have become famous in Zhongzhou in such a short time. However, the alchemy master who can refine a pill at the age of twenty... Medicine Lord Lin Yuan has already become the number one prodigy in Zhongzhou.

To be frank, the young man in front of him, who was only twenty years old, had a higher status than himself, the master of Fenyan Valley.

Lin Yuan nodded slightly: "Yes, it is an eighth-grade six-color elixir, a elixir that can help Dou Zun break through to one-star cultivation. Master Tang... do you want it?"

As he spoke, there was a hint of temptation in his voice.

Hearing Lin Yuan's words, Tang Zhen's breathing couldn't help but quicken. For a Dou Zun like him who was stuck in a bottleneck, a pill was an absolute temptation.

People who practice cultivation may sometimes reach a bottleneck at a certain level, but once they break through, they will usher in a period of rapid progress.

For example, the two elders of Qianbai, after breaking through to the Dou Zun level, may enter a period of rapid improvement.

Another example is Tang Zhen, who has been stuck at the five-star Dou Zun level for many years. Once he breaks through the bottleneck, the accumulation of years of hard training will allow him to advance his cultivation by leaps and bounds in a short period of time after the breakthrough.

A pill is a pill that can help him break through the current bottleneck.

Staring at Lin Yuan, Tang Zhen said eagerly and hesitantly, "Sir, you mentioned this pill, but are you willing to trade it? What do you want?"

"I can indeed refine a pill for the Valley Master."

Lin Yuan smiled faintly, stretched out two fingers, and said frankly: "As a reward, I want to get two things from Guigu. First, the complete Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire; second, the sub-fire of the Nine Dragons Thunder Gang Fire..."

When Tang Zhen heard the words "Nine Dragons Thunder Fire", his face changed subconsciously, until he heard the word "Zi Fire", he quickly retracted his momentum.

Looking at Lin Yuan's amused expression, he smiled awkwardly and said, "Sorry, I was just excited!"

A hint of surprise flashed in the depths of his eyes: Tang Zhen was not surprised that Lin Yuan could ignore the aura of a five-star Dou Zun; but he was also surprised that the two girls beside him could ignore it... An ordinary Dou Zong would not be so calm.

Retracting his gaze, Tang Zhen sighed inwardly, "These two girls...are not simple! As expected, geniuses always travel together."

"As a fellow holder of Strange Fire, I can understand Valley Master Tang's feelings!"

Lin Yuan waved his hand casually and chuckled, "How about it? My offer is not too much, right? A secret technique and a wisp of seed fire in exchange for a chance to make great progress in cultivation?"

Tang Zhen hesitated for a moment, then said thoughtfully, "I can agree to the Nine Dragons Thunder Fire's Zihuo, but as for the Three Mysterious Changes of Heavenly Fire... can you change the conditions? Apart from this, I have many other advanced skills, fighting techniques, and secrets in Burning Flame Valley..."

"I just want the Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire." Lin Yuan shook his head and stopped Tang Zhen from speaking.

"As far as I know, even if the Valley Master fully displayed the Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire, he could only temporarily increase his cultivation by less than two stars. Compared with the same pill that helps break the bottleneck and permanently increase his true cultivation by more than one star, the effect is much inferior."

"I exchanged one pill for a Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Fire and a Heavenly Fire Three Mysterious Changes. I think the Valley Master didn't suffer any loss, right?"

A hint of helplessness emerged in Tang Zhen's eyes, and then he nodded gently - there was nothing wrong with what the other party said, an eighth-grade, six-color pill was indeed worth the price.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan asked in confusion: "If this is the case, this deal should be possible! Why…"

At this time, Tang Huoer stepped forward and said softly, "Please forgive me, Mr. Yaojun. The Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire is the top secret method of Burning Flame Valley. According to the rules of the valley, it cannot be passed on to outsiders. Although Daddy is the master of the valley, he cannot decide such a matter alone."

After a pause, she continued to explain: "After all, we still have the Council of Elders in our Burning Flame Valley. The elders attach great importance to the Three Mysterious Transformations of the Skyfire, so..."

He didn't finish his words, but Lin Yuan knew what he meant.

Lin Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly and pondered, "Is there anyone in the Elders' Council who is stronger than Valley Master Tang? Who can hinder his decision?"

Hearing Lin Yuan's words, Tang Zhen smiled bitterly: "Externally, force can naturally solve problems; but internally, many problems cannot be solved by force."

"If a force wants to be passed down for a long time, it needs to abide by certain rules. I have been supported by the Burning Flame Valley to practice here, so I must naturally be bound by its rules. Moreover, many elders of the Elder Council are actually my clansmen."

The descendants of the Fenyan Ancestor have been passed down for thousands of years. There is not only Tang Zhen's lineage, but also many branches.

After hearing Tang Zhen's explanation, Lin Yuan was speechless. It seemed that the forces that acted in a "decent" manner all had the problem of powerful leaders being constrained by their subordinates.

After thinking for a moment, a meaningful look appeared in his eyes and he had an idea in his mind.

“The Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire cannot be passed on to others?” Lin Yuan smiled playfully and said calmly, “Then Valley Master, why not take a look at this… Qianlan Transformation!”

With a low shout, in front of the surprised eyes of Tang Zhen and Tang Huoer, Lin Yuan's aura emitted a strange fluctuation, and his momentum rose instantly.

"Heaven...Heavenly Fire Three Mysterious Transformations?"

This extremely familiar fluctuation immediately made the Tang father and daughter realize what was happening.

Tang Huoer looked at Lin Yuan in shock: "Mr. Yaojun, why are you using the Three Mysterious Changes of Heavenly Fire from my Burning Flame Valley?"

"It's the Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire!" Lin Yuan smiled and said lightly.

"A few years ago, when I was traveling in the northwest continent, I accidentally found a piece of black jade, from which I gained the first two transformations of the Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire."

"After arriving in Zhongzhou, I learned that the Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire was the secret method of the Burning Flame Valley, so I came here specifically to exchange the complete secret method, and by the way, I also obtained the authorization to use it from the Burning Flame Valley. In this way, we can avoid unnecessary hatred because of this."

"Since I have obtained most of this method, you might as well give the rest to me. It will not break more rules, and the Valley Master can also get real benefits."

After a pause, a hint of amusement appeared in his eyes: "Or, the Valley Master intends to kill me in order to retrieve the secret method of the Three Mysterious Changes of Heavenly Fire..."

"Mr. Yaojun, you are joking."

Tang Zhen quickly shook his head and said seriously, "You could have chosen to conceal the fact that you accidentally obtained and practiced the Three Mysterious Changes of Heavenly Fire, but you chose to tell us on your own initiative. We are so grateful that we can't wait to repay you with evil!"

Looking at the young man's hearty smile, Tang Zhen felt a strong fear in his heart. At that moment, he sensed Lin Yuan's true strength - a four-star Dou Zun! !

This twenty-year-old young man is not only an eighth-grade six-color alchemist, but also a four-star Dou Zun... He is simply terrifying.

This level of talent is no worse than the ancestors of a thousand years ago. Even if there is a Dou Sheng hidden in the Burning Flame Valley, they must not make an enemy with this person. This kind of genius who is unparalleled in both medicine refining and cultivation... Danta probably treasures it to the core. If something unexpected happens, they will probably go crazy.

"With the Valley Master's words, I feel relieved!" Lin Yuan nodded slightly and asked with a smile: "Then, is the Valley Master willing to agree to the deal I proposed?"

"Can you give me some time?" Taking a deep breath, Tang Zhen bowed and said sincerely.

"As I said before, this matter involves the rules of Burning Flame Valley, and I need to convince the Council of Elders. Well, now that things have come to this, I believe the elders will understand. Please stay in Burning Flame Valley for a while, and Burning Flame Valley will treat you as a guest of honor."

"As a token of my sincerity, regardless of whether the deal is successful or not, I, Fenyan Valley, will not pursue the matter of Sir privately practicing the Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire!"

After a brief pause, he added, "As for the final result, I will also inform you within two days."

"Sure, I just plan to have some fun in Guigu!" Lin Yuan could do with just two days. "Also, please help me prepare a quiet place to stay. I don't want to be disturbed..."

Tang Zhen quickly agreed: "It's just a small matter, please rest assured! The three of you are the highest-level guests of my Burning Flame Valley, and everything will be prepared to the best of my ability..."

When facing an eighth-grade alchemist and two geniuses whose backgrounds are unknown, it is certainly right to use the highest etiquette.

"Huo'er." Tang Zhen turned to look at his daughter and said sternly, "Your father is going to discuss matters with the elders. Next, you will entertain the three distinguished guests. Take them to stay at Lingyan Pavilion. Except for the forbidden areas, they can walk freely in the valley..."

Tang Huoer patted his chest and said, "Daddy, just focus on the discussion. I will entertain several distinguished guests!"

After that, she turned around and looked at Lin Yuan and the other two, and said loudly: "Mr. Yaojun, two little sisters, please follow me!"

"Master Tang, I'll take my leave first. We'll see you later."

Lin Yuan bowed and said goodbye, then turned around and left with Tang Huoer, flying towards the beautiful scenery deep in the valley. Qing Lin and Zi Yan followed closely.

After everyone left, Tang Zhen's eyes deepened: "This is a good opportunity! Elders' Council, hehe..."

For the Elders Council of Burning Flame Valley, rules are their biggest bargaining chip to check and balance the Valley Master. Once an important rule is broken for the first time, there will be countless exceptions in the future, and the authority of the Elders Council will be unknowingly eroded...

Because of this, even if certain rules are not beneficial to the sect as a whole, many elders will still try their best to stick to them in order to protect their own authority.

"Those elders that we won over before will come in handy this time!"

Tang Zhen showed a cunning look on his face: "One pill, I want it! I will also take back some of the excessive power of the Council of Elders this time. A person should not have two heads, and a force does not need two commanders."

"Fenyan Valley, this deformed power structure has lasted for a long time, and it is time to completely change it..."

Thinking of this, Tang Zhen called a few trusted elders and explained some things to them. Then he moved and flew towards one magnificent hall after another.

"Valley Master!" Seeing Tang Zhen coming, dozens of disciples guarding the hall saluted.

"Yes!" Tang Zhen nodded slightly, and said, "Go and invite all the elders to the hall and tell them that there are urgent matters that need to be discussed immediately." Then he walked into the magnificent hall with a solemn expression.

The disciples looked at each other and hurried to various places in Burning Flame Valley...

Not long after, a series of powerful figures flew in from all over the Burning Flame Valley and entered the hall without hesitation.

An hour later, heated discussions were heard in the hall.

"I didn't expect that it was really that Medicine Master who came to visit us? Valley Master, is he really as talented as the rumors say?"

"It should be him, no doubt. Moreover, this person is even more talented than the rumors say... Not only is his alchemy skill outstanding, his cultivation has also broken through to Dou Zun."

"Dou Zun...what? Oh my god, am I dreaming?"

"My Burning Flame Valley should have no connection with this person, why would he suddenly come to visit?"

"He came here to trade the Three Mysterious Skyfires. Here are the details..."

After Tang Zhen explained...

"One Pill and Three Mysterious Changes of Heavenly Fire, this is really a difficult decision!"

"The Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire are the secrets of our Burning Flame Valley. There are rules in the valley and they cannot be passed on to outsiders. Can you please change the conditions?"

"Haha! If the conditions could be changed, why would the Valley Master call the elders to discuss it..."

"I think it's feasible. After the Valley Master takes one pill, he can break through to the Six-Star Dou Zun. With the power of the Three Mysterious Changes of Heavenly Fire, he may even be able to compete with the Eight-Star Dou Zun. In this way, he can completely suppress the Glacier Valley."

"But the Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire are the iconic secret of our Burning Flame Valley. If it gets out, how can we gain a foothold in Zhongzhou in the future?"

"Heh, that Mr. Yaojun already has two transformations. The transmission of the Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire has become a fact. Is there any essential difference between passing on one more transformation and one less transformation?"

"That being said, the rules of Burning Flame Valley..."

"What rules? Rules are dead, but people are alive! According to the rules, we still have to recover the Three Mysterious Changes of Heavenly Fire. So, are we going to fight against the number one prodigy in Zhongzhou and the future ninth-grade alchemist for the Three Mysterious Changes of Heavenly Fire?"

"Second Elder, Third Elder, do you really think that following the rules in a pedantic way is a good thing for our Burning Flame Valley?"

"This...hey..."

"I also agree to this deal. Yao Jun, who could have kept it secret, took the initiative to come to my house to tell me about the Three Mysterious Changes of Heavenly Fire, and proposed a generous deal. Even if it's just to gain his favor, we should complete this deal."

"I agree. If we can get in touch with this promising Medicine Lord, the Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire are not impossible. The rules... are not impossible to bend."

"Me too!"

As the discussion deepened, many neutral elders gradually leaned towards a deal.

Looking at the gradually one-sided atmosphere, a hint of satisfaction emerged in Tang Zhen's eyes... Lin Yuan's talent and status, as well as the fact that he had already practiced the Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire, had already determined the outcome of this meeting.

Everything is going as he expected. If it goes on like this, when he steps down, he can hand over the position of Valley Master to his daughter without any constraints.
