Reaching the pinnacle from Doupo

Chapter 373 Negotiation
"Golden elixir?" Yao Ying's face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "My dear Yao Jun, do you know what you are talking about?"

"Of course I know!" Lin Yuan shrugged, his expression unchanged.

"Senior Yao Ying, please don't treat me as a novice alchemist just because I'm young! I've said before, I know very well how valuable the secret method of fire making is to the Yao Clan, so I... will demand a sufficient price."

As they were talking, the shadow of the ancient locust tree in the courtyard was cast obliquely onto the stone table, shrouding the three people in mottled light and shadow.

Lin Yuan continued: "Just the inheritance of refining medicine for the ninth-grade Xuandan is far from satisfying my appetite."

"After the alchemy technique reaches the ninth level, the value of a finished pill is higher than the pill formula and inheritance. The value of my secret method of making fire..."

After a pause, he said proudly: "For the Medicine Clan with many alchemists, it is no less than a mysterious pill!"

Not to mention the powerful strange fire after the Fighting Saint stage, and its significant role in combat, just in terms of alchemy, the presence or absence of strange fire is a completely different matter - Lin Yuan's alchemy skills are so outstanding, and a big reason is because of the strange fire.

Theoretically, after the Medicine Clan obtained the secret method of making fire, they could continuously create strange fire. It would be somewhat foolish not to ask the Medicine Clan for help in this matter.

The reason why we chose the Medicine Clan as a breakthrough point and sought the golden elixir-level alchemy inheritance was because this was the best choice.

There is no doubt that the Medicine Clan must have a golden elixir-level alchemy inheritance, or even an imperial-level alchemy inheritance... When there is a chance to succeed, one must naturally try to obtain the inheritance in case of future need.

Moreover, if we don't give the Medicine Clan a breakthrough to obtain the secret method, it is still unknown whether they will jump into action out of desperation...

As for Danta, although Lin Yuan speculated that it might have the Golden Elixir inheritance, he could not be sure after all.

As for the Soul Clan, although it is more likely that they have the Golden Core-level alchemy inheritance, considering the "excellent" quality of Hun Xuzi... even if he really gave it to him, Lin Yuan would not be able to use it with confidence.

Lin Yuan always kept a clear head about the relationship between himself and Hunxuzi.

Although the two were called master and disciple, and there was some superficial kindness between the master and the disciple, their relationship was by no means one of true trust. And Lin Yuan had never had any unrealistic expectations of Hunxuzi, who was of the same type as himself.

On the other side, Yao Ying was stunned when he heard Lin Yuan's words and remained silent for a while...

“Excuse me, Yao Jun, your greed… is a bit too much.” He raised his eyes and stared at Lin Yuan, and said thoughtfully: “The Golden Core inheritance is one of the most core inheritances even in my clan. I am not qualified to touch it at the moment, and…”

After a short pause, he sighed, "From ancient times to now, there are only a handful of people who can refine golden elixirs. Why do you have to pursue this ethereal thing?"

Refining the golden elixir is incredibly difficult.

The soul of the great perfection of the heavenly realm and the cultivation of a seven-star fighting saint are just the entry requirements for refining the golden elixir. Even if these entry requirements are met, the chance of success is less than half.

In addition, apart from the difficulty of refining the golden elixir itself, the resources required can only be described as "enormous"!
In Yao Ying's opinion, even though Lin Yuan showed such a strong talent, it was still a fantasy for him to refine the golden elixir - there was almost no possibility of success.

Lin Yuan smiled faintly, but his voice was unwavering and firm: "No matter what your original intention is, the conditions I proposed will not change. You only need to answer me whether you agree to the deal I proposed."

"As for why I made such a deal, and whether I can refine the golden elixir in the future... these things, senior, don't worry about it!" "Senior, no... it's the Medicine Clan that needs to make a decision on this matter. How should we choose between the long-standing heritage and the current interests?"

At this point, Lin Yuan's calm voice had a hint of remoteness.

"If I were the leader of the Medicine Clan, I would definitely agree to this deal. After all... a bird in the hand is worth a hundred in the bush! Compared to a long-standing inheritance that has been shelved, a secret method that can greatly strengthen the Medicine Clan will be more helpful to the current Medicine Clan."

"Senior Yao Ying, Miss Yao Ling, if it were you two, what choice would you make?"

At this point, a curious smile emerged on his face, and then he shifted his gaze slightly and looked quietly at the two people sitting on his left and right.

Hearing Lin Yuan's words, Yao Ling blinked her delicate eyes, shifted her attention away from the special medicinal fragrance, and looked at Lin Yuan strangely.

Medicine Lord Lin Yuan, although not very old, was much younger than his brother, and was born in a small place. However, his talent and ability, as well as his calm attitude in the face of powerful saints, were far beyond his brother's reach.

You know, for a long time, brother Yao Tian was the most outstanding genius of his generation in Yao Ling's eyes, but now he has been eclipsed.

As her thoughts raced, her desire to explore Lin Yuan increased even more.

On the side, Yao Ying was silent for a long time, and finally spoke slowly: "Yao Jun, I am not qualified to make the decision on the transaction conditions you just proposed. It requires the higher-ups of my clan to make the decision."

“No problem!” Hearing this, Lin Yuan waved his hand casually and said, “Senior Yao Ying, please inform the relevant people of my conditions after you return to the Yao Clan.

"I will inform the clan leaders of the deal you proposed, but..."

After a pause, Yao Ying looked at Lin Yuan deeply and said quietly, "Master Yao, you need to understand one thing - our Yao clan is one of the ancient clans no matter what, and the secret method of making fire is also something that our clan must obtain."

Lin Yuan smiled slightly, with a deep light flashing in his eyes, as if he had already anticipated Yao Ying's words.

"Senior Yao Ying, I naturally understand the Yao Clan's position and possible choices."

He gently put down the teacup in his hand, and in his calm tone, at this moment, there was an unquestionable firmness: "However, I also hope that you can fully understand that the storm that I, Lin Yuan, can stir up... may be greater than you expected!"

"Trading with me may be the best way to obtain the secret method of fire making."

Lin Yuan's powerful words, which came from his heart, made Yao Ying's pupils shrink slightly, and her slender fingers unconsciously stroked the embossed patterns on the celadon teacup.

"Since you have made up your mind, I will not persuade you any more." After understanding Lin Yuan's determination, Yao Ying's Adam's apple rolled slightly, and he stopped talking nonsense, "Next, let's talk about the next thing!"

He exhaled lightly and said thoughtfully, "In addition to trading the secret method of fire making, the two of us have something else to discuss with you, Yao Ling..."
