Battle Through the Heavens: Reap the Red Lotus Karmic Flame at the Start

"If Patriarch Yaodan's actions are related to Elder Yaowangui, then I am willing to compensate him at any cost..."

Seeing this situation, Xiao Yan decided to retreat as a strategic move.

Yao Dan stared directly at Xiao Yan, and after a long while, he let out a long sigh: "From now on, you will never see Yao Wangui again. What happened before was a mistake made by the Yao Clan."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's eyes flickered slightly. The fact that Yao Dan was willing to make such a concession already revealed the intentions of the three clans. They had come for Xiao Yan's resurrection technique and were determined to obtain it.

Hearing Yao Dan's reply, Xiao Yan nodded, fully aware of what he was doing. Xiao Yan didn't consider himself a saint. Regarding Yao Wangui, Xiao Yan no longer wanted to delve into the details. Since Yao Wangui had used his status to force Yao Lao to leave back then, Xiao Yan would now use his abilities to force the Yao clan to make him disappear completely.

Xiao Yan knew very well that dealing with someone like Yao Wangui himself was not the most straightforward revenge. The most desperate moment for him would be when he realized that he had been completely abandoned by the Yao clan. And that was exactly the effect Xiao Yan wanted!

With the Medicine Clan having paid for Yao Wan Gui, the transaction could truly begin.

Shi Kai, standing to the side, also spoke in a deep voice, "Lord Xiao Yan, I'll be frank. Your resurrection technique is extremely important to my Shi Clan. Name your price, and I will definitely buy it!"

Xiao Yan shook his head: "I'm afraid I cannot grant this request."

Stone Armor asked anxiously, "Why? Are you worried that my offer isn't high enough?"

"That's not the case. This resurrection technique requires a specific item to be used, and even my Guiyuan Mansion cannot create a second one. Therefore, this ability to resurrect the dead can only be performed by people from my Guiyuan Mansion, and it cannot be sold."

Xiao Yan knew why the Stone Clan's patriarch, Shi Kai, was in such a hurry. Back then, the Ancient Clan and the Soul Clan had joined forces to launch a surprise attack on the Stone Clan, causing the direct demise of nearly half of its powerful members. However, half of the powerful members had survived, and Xiao Yan knew without a doubt that many of them had lost their physical bodies, leaving only their soul power.

The resettlement of these people is also extremely troublesome. If they were to be resurrected, not only would the cost be extremely high, but whether the Stone Clan could even actually do it is a big question. Even if they could, it would most likely have severe aftereffects, just like the Soul Clan's forced acquisition of bodies.

The resurrection technique that Xiao Yan mentioned, aside from causing a slight decrease in strength, doesn't pose any major risks. Since the Stone Clan has such a high demand, they naturally have no choice but to turn to Xiao Yan, and Xiao Yan is simply waiting for the Stone Clan leader to come and inquire.

Just as the Stone Clan was about to doze off, Xiao Yan happened to be holding the most important pillow. If he hadn't schemed, it would have been all thanks to Wang Yun for developing this ability.

"So what do you plan to do?"

Xun'er, who had been staying by Xiao Yan's side, said directly, "We already agreed on the price at the trade fair: one grade nine pill for one person!"

Xiao Yan nodded: "This is also a necessary consumption of materials, and I believe the three of you can understand."

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's request, the three clan leaders exchanged glances, realizing that this was just Xiao Yan making an outrageous demand.

"Lord Xiao Yan, the number of people our clan needs to resurrect is not small. You know we can't afford the price you're asking for. Could you perhaps offer some leniency, considering our need to fight against the Ancient Clan and the Soul Clan?"

Xun'er shook her head with a cold smile: "Three clan leaders, not long ago, my brother Xiao Yan also asked the Lei Clan for the Lei Clan's clan emblem, but was refused by the Lei Clan elders. At the time, we also thought it was to fight against the Ancient Clan and the Soul Clan, but we were not understood. Now that we have refused, I believe you can understand."

When Xiao Yan was being harassed, Xun'er was extremely angry. Now that the situation has reversed and their identities have been switched, she naturally cannot allow Shi Kai to use such power to blackmail her.

Shi Kai looked at Lei Ying, whose expression remained unchanged. In the end, he could only manage a wry smile: "Lord Xiao Yan, I apologize for what happened. We were wrong. Could you please be lenient?"

Seeing this, Xun'er softened her stance slightly, and Xiao Yan also said to the three of them, "I didn't mean to make things difficult for you three, but what I really want is quite valuable. If you three are unwilling to pay, then this deal cannot be done."

Seeing an opportunity, Shi Kai nodded and said, "Lord Xiao Yan, please speak freely."

"This resurrection also requires the help of herbs, and it is also related to the strength after resurrection. The more precious the herbs, the stronger the restored strength, and vice versa. If any member of the three races resurrects someone, my Guiyuan Mansion can provide assistance in the future, but the materials needed for this resurrection must be provided by oneself."

Without even thinking, Shi Kai nodded in agreement. The request was so reasonable that there was simply no reason not to agree.

"My second request is that strange fire, the Xuanhuang Flame."

No matter how bad the strange fire is, it is still a strange fire, and Xiao Yan will not let it slip away.

Shi Kai then looked at the medicinal pill, and after a slight hesitation, he nodded: "Okay!"

This strange fire was, after all, ownerless and its arrival was rather sudden. For the Medicine Clan, Xiao Yan taking it wasn't a major blow. Their clan's true inherited strange fire was of greater significance to them.

"Third, my brother Lei Jingxiao has decided to leave the Lei Clan, but he won the position of Lei Clan heir through his own strength. I need the Lei Clan to give him all the resources that are due to him, absolutely no less!"

Upon hearing this request, Shi Kai was taken aback, and Yao Dan showed a similar expression. Neither of them spoke, simply waiting for Lei Ying to speak. After all, the final decision on this matter rested solely with the Lei Clan, and Lei Ying was the leader of their alliance; they needed to hear his opinion.

Deep down, they didn't think the request was excessive. However, the departure of the heir would have a significant impact on the Lei Clan. Lei Jingxiao had defeated Lei Dong in front of everyone, and now he wanted to give him the treatment of an heir, not to mention leaving the Lei Clan afterward—it was quite a humiliating thing. It was completely understandable if Lei Ying couldn't tolerate it.

To their surprise, Lei Ying only thought about it for a short while before nodding and saying, "Okay, I agree too!"

"Any other requests?"

Xiao Yan shook his head: "No more."

They had originally planned to listen to Xiao Yan's subsequent conditions, but it ended there. The three of them understood that Xiao Yan had indeed shown mercy this time; he had most likely intended to share this ability from the beginning, and the conditions he added now were more about his attitude. Thinking of this, the three of them looked at Xiao Yan with much more kindness, especially Shi Kai, whose resurrection of so many clansmen depended on Xiao Yan.
