Reaching the pinnacle from Doupo

Chapter 359 Negotiation, Conditions

"Mr. Yaojun, just say whatever you want. No matter what the conditions are, our Yan Clan is willing to do our best to meet them to show our sincerity!"

Hearing Lin Yuan's words, Huo Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up and she responded without hesitation.

As long as there was a glimmer of hope, she didn't want to forcefully obtain the secret method of synthesizing the strange fire - Medicine Lord Lin Yuan, a genius in alchemy who possessed both status and talent, the Yan Clan preferred to establish friendly relations rather than resort to forceful measures.

Huo Xuan thought that it would take a lot of effort to convince Lin Yuan, but she didn't expect the latter to be so tactful and agree to the transaction so readily.

Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly and tapped the table rhythmically with his right fingers, as if he was thinking about the terms of the transaction.

Seeing this, Huo Xuan didn't intend to urge them and waited patiently.

After a moment, Lin Yuan stopped what he was doing, looked directly at Huo Xuan who was sitting opposite him, and slowly said: "Senior Huo Xuan, I know the value of this method, especially its value to the Yan Clan, so the price I offer is not low."

"It's only natural!" Huo Xuan smiled lightly and said meaningfully, "As long as your conditions are not deliberately difficult, our clan can generously agree to them..."

As for whether it was intentional "making things difficult", of course it was up to her and the Yan Clan to judge.

Hearing this, Lin Yuan nodded slightly, and said in a steady voice: "Don't worry, senior. I have no intention of making things difficult for the Yan Clan, and I will not make such rude requests as practicing the 'Fire Emperor's Mysterious Canon'."

The Fire Emperor's Mysterious Canon, the Yan Clan's clan's martial arts, is one of the most advanced martial arts in the Douqi Continent.

"It's great that you can be so sensible, sir. It looks like this deal can be done!" Huo Xuan nodded slightly, speaking in a gentle tone: "This method is of great significance. As long as it does not involve the foundation of our clan, even if it is a heaven-level technique, our clan is willing to offer it..."

"Fighting skills, martial arts, I have all of these." Lin Yuan shook his head, his voice a little distant: "My conditions are the other four..."

"Four?" Huo Xuan frowned slightly and whispered, "I'd like to hear the details..."

Hearing this, Lin Yuan smiled slightly, a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes, and then he put forward the conditions he had already thought of in one breath.

"My four conditions are: first, I want a wisp of each of the five kinds of strange fire that the Yan Clan currently has; second, I want the authority to access the Yan Clan's secret data library; third, three fire-related secrets that are not inferior to the Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire; fourth, the secret method of synthesizing strange fires from the seeds of strange fires, which I will hand over to the Yan Clan in twenty years."

These four conditions are the product of Lin Yuan's careful consideration, aiming to maximize his own interests while making them as acceptable to the other party as possible.

For Lin Yuan...

The first condition can allow the dry blue ice flame in the body to make another huge progress.

The five strange fires of the Yan Clan are ranked sixth, seventh, eighth, sixteenth, and seventeenth respectively. They are all high-quality strange fires. After integrating their seed fires, the power of the Qianlan Ice Flame may be increased to the level of the top six on the strange fire list.

As for the sub-fires of the other top ten strange fires...most of them can be obtained.

The Nine Nether Wind Flame, ranked tenth, is currently in the hands of the Medicine Clan. If one plans carefully, it is not impossible to obtain its sub-fire...

The ninth-ranked Three Thousand Flames was already in Lin Yuan's pocket, so it would naturally be no difficulty to obtain its sub-fire.

The fourth ranked Golden Emperor Burning Sky Flame, with the favor owed by Gu Xun'er as a backing, plus the cooperative relationship between Lin Yuan and the Gu clan, has a good chance of getting its Zihuo.

The third ranked Pure Lotus Demonic Fire, half of the remaining map is already in hand.

The second ranked Void Devouring Flame, and its son fire, can be obtained from Hunxuzi with a high probability after Lin Yuan’s alchemy skills are upgraded to the ninth rank.

The once vague idea of ​​"Emperor Yan Zi Fire" may have a chance of coming true in the future.

The second and third conditions were to utilize the heritage of the Yan Clan, the clan that had done the most research on fire and had the most complete heritage, to enrich one's own heritage to the maximum extent and lay the foundation for the subsequent creation of one's own 'method'.

In terms of attainments in the attribute of fire, the Yan clan, which has been passed down for tens of thousands of years, may have accumulated knowledge that is not inferior to that of the Tushe Ancient Emperor.

These foundations may be of little use to ordinary people, and are far inferior to high-level skills and high-level fighting techniques, but for the creators of the techniques, it is undoubtedly the greatest wealth.

The three top-level fire-related secrets are the high-quality resources for subsequently surpassing the Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire.

The fourth condition is the space for further negotiations, which is also a means of taking advantage of the information gap to get something for free.

For an imperial family with a history of tens of thousands of years, a mere twenty years is just a blink of an eye, a period of deep seclusion for a Dou Sheng!
However, these twenty years are different from the previous twenty years.

The injuries of Emperor Hun Tian will soon recover, and the souls collected by the Soul Palace will be sufficient. Within twenty years, the Soul Clan will surely start the Millennium Plan.

If the Yan Clan is willing to wait patiently, then after twenty years, when everything has been settled, it would not matter if they were given the secret method. If they are unwilling to wait for twenty years and want to get the secret method in advance, Lin Yuan will have to add some "small" conditions...

With a slight smile, Lin Yuan looked at Huo Xuan meaningfully, waiting for her answer.

On the other side, after listening to Lin Yuan's conditions, Huo Xuan narrowed her eyes slightly, stroked the teacup with her slender fingers, and quickly analyzed these conditions in her mind.

For the Yan Clan, the conditions proposed by Lin Yuan...

The first condition, five fire seeds, was within Huo Xuan's expectations and was definitely a condition that the clan could accept.

Although separating a strand of alien fire would consume a lot of the essence of the alien fire itself, with the vast amount of resources stored by the Yan Clan, it would only take one or two years to completely restore the essence of the alien fire, which was not a very costly thing.

The second condition is the access to the secret database of Yan clan information, which is not a big deal.

The treasure trove of knowledge accumulated by the clan's thousands of years of research is a very deep foundation, but this kind of knowledge is also the cheapest among many things.

As long as it does not involve some of our clan's secret research or secret data libraries, it would be fine to open it to Yao Jun.

The third condition is that the three secret methods are not inferior to the Three Mysterious Changes of Heavenly Fire. Although this requirement is not low, it is not a big deal for the Yan Clan.

Although the Skyfire Three Mysterious Changes was a secret technique created by Xiao Xuan, it was only a pre-secret technique for the Xiao clan's clan emblem. In the long history of the Yan clan, there were some who were as powerful as Xiao Xuan, and naturally they also collected quite a few top-level secret techniques that were not inferior to the Skyfire Three Mysterious Changes.

As long as the issues related to the external transmission can be handled properly, it is not impossible to pass on the three top-level fire-attributed secret techniques to Lin Yuan.

As for the fourth condition, to hand over the secret technique to the Yan clan after twenty years... there are many opinions on this.

"Ding--"

Huo Xuan tapped the celadon teacup with her slender fingers, making a pleasant and crisp sound, which also attracted Lin Yuan's attention. The two looked at each other, and Huo Xuan said seriously: "Mr. Yaojun, of the four conditions you proposed, the first three should be acceptable to our clan. But the fourth condition... I am a little confused, can you please explain it to me?"

She was not worried that Lin Yuan would breach the contract and not give her the secret method after twenty years - just kidding, there were few people in the entire Douqi Continent who could default on the Yan Clan.

Although Danta’s strength is good, it is completely not enough in front of the Yan Clan.

However, it is better to obtain the secret method of synthesizing the strange fire with the seed fire as soon as possible - if Lin Yuan encounters an unexpected death in the past twenty years, wouldn’t the Yan clan’s efforts be in vain?

After a moment of hesitation, Lin Yuan explained: "I still need some time to perfect the method of creating strange fire! And the purpose of requesting the Yan Clan database is to perfect this method to a certain extent..."

"Our clan can accept the imperfect secret method!" Huo Xuan shook her head and said in a deep voice.

"But I can't accept it!" Lin Yuan smiled and said firmly.

"The method of creating strange fire is of great significance. It may be the greatest achievement of my life and a masterpiece that will make me famous in history. Therefore, although I can trade this method to the Yan Clan, this achievement... must be completed by me personally!"

Hearing this, Huo Xuan was slightly startled, and then she sighed softly - in her long life, she had seen too many men obsessed with the word "achievement".

These two words seem to have a special magic that many powerful people never get tired of using.

"But what if something unexpected happened to you during these years..." Huo Xuan said halfway, as if she had figured something out, and looked at Lin Yuan in astonishment: "What a calculation! The essence of this condition is to let the Yan Clan protect you for twenty years, right?"

At this point, she seemed to understand why none of the first three conditions proposed by Lin Yuan were too high.

"Of course not!" Lin Yuan thought to himself, "The Yan Clan can't protect me from what I want to do..."

However, his words were completely in line with Huo Xuan's words: "Senior really has a pair of discerning eyes, that's exactly what I meant! I hope that the Yan Clan can protect me and provide me with some convenience in my research while I am perfecting the secret method..."

"If you think twenty years is too long, then give me five different kinds of fire. I can shorten the time to perfect the secret technique to ten years!"

He looked at Huo Xuan meaningfully: "If my guess is correct, the Yan Clan will collect strange fires across the entire continent, and the possibility of obtaining the other five kinds of strange fires is very high."

Having said that, Lin Yuan's smile was still bright, but his eyes were a little deeper.

This time, he exposed the secret of Qianlan Bingyan and the deal with the Yan Clan because he was deliberately trying to make a profit from the Yan Clan.

Since he didn't have the time or energy to go around collecting strange fires, he might as well let the Yan Clan, which had a profound foundation and huge power, complete the task. He only needed to accumulate enough strength and then directly "harvest" the Yan Clan.

Lin Yuan learned a lot from the Soul Clan and the Soul Palace - as long as the sickle in his hand is sharp enough, the bigger the "leeks" will be, the better.

If the Soul Clan sends out the Void Devouring Flame, they can reap the benefits of the Medicine Clan.

If he could raise a Nine-Star Douluo, and then rely on the advantage of a time traveler's foresight, he might be able to set up a plan to reap the benefits of the Medicine Clan, the Flame Clan, and the Thunder Clan... As for the candidate for the Nine-Star Douluo to be trained, Lin Yuan had already made up his mind.

After listening to Lin Yuan's words, Huo Xuan fell into a brief silence, thinking quickly in her mind.

"The clan should be able to accept your conditions, but there are still two problems that need to be solved!"

She looked at Lin Yuan seriously and said in a deep voice: "First, twenty years is too long. We cannot wait that long. Second, we need a way to ensure that even if something happens to you, you can hand over the secret method to our clan after the deadline."

"Time and insurance measures?" Lin Yuan frowned slightly.

After thinking for a while, he made a decision and said thoughtfully: "As a safety measure, I have an idea... Let Danta be the middleman!"

"How do we implement Danta as a witness?" Huo Xuan asked with a raised eyebrow.

Lin Yuan nodded slightly and explained in detail: "After the deal is truly concluded, we will meet in Dan Tower and invite three giants to be witnesses. Under their witness, I will regularly seal the improved secret method into the tower."

"When the agreed deadline arrives, regardless of whether we are in Danta or not, the Yan Clan can obtain the secret method at the seal of Danta."

"This is feasible!" Huo Xuan thought for a while and nodded, "What about time? I can hand over the secret method to ..."

"Twenty years... I cannot back down on this condition!" When it comes to the time issue, Lin Yuan's tone becomes firm, "As I just said, to shorten it to ten years, the Yan Clan needs to provide me with five more kinds of exotic fire."

"I understand your determination, sir!" Feeling Lin Yuan's resolute attitude, Huo Xuan wisely did not continue to fight for it. "As for time, I will ask for it from the clan..."

The other party is very sincere, and if you continue to push for more, your greedy attitude will be a bit ugly.

"Thank you, senior!" Lin Yuan smiled slightly and picked up the teacup that had been sitting in front of him.

"I should thank you on behalf of the Yan Clan." Huo Xuan shook her head and picked up the teacup in front of her. "I will bring back the terms of the deal you just proposed to the clan after the ceremony. After the clan makes a formal decision, I will go to Danta in person..."

"Then I will wait for good news." Lin Yuan raised his glass, using tea instead of wine, and clinked it with Huo Xuan, reaching a preliminary consensus.

Afterwards, the two discussed some details in detail, and Huo Xuan stood up and prepared to leave.

"Senior Huoxuan, wait a minute!" Seeing this, Lin Yuan suddenly stopped her, "In addition to the matter of the strange fire secret method, I also have a cooperation on elixirs. I want to talk to you, or should I say your lineage, about it. I wonder if you are interested?"

Huo Xuan sat down again after hearing this and looked at Lin Yuan with interest: "As for cooperation in the field of elixirs, of course I'm interested. Yao Jun, why don't you speak frankly..."

After half an hour.

As Huo Xuan stood up and said goodbye contentedly, Lin Yuan looked at her departing back and thought to himself: In this way, the Yan clan's trading channel has been initially established, and Huo Zhi... is actually Huo Xuan's direct descendant.

Shaking his head, he raised his hand and whispered to the 'jade ring' on his arm: "Qing'er, the meeting is over, you can lift your guard!"

Not far away, in a plain room.

Qing Lin, who had closed his eyes to receive the message, slowly opened his eyes and nodded to Zi Yan and Xiao Yi Xian in front of him: "The meeting is over, there were no accidents..."

Hearing this, Little Medical Fairy heaved a sigh of relief and put away the space jade slip in her hand.
