Chapter 129 Reaching Cooperation
“What?” Yao Lao’s face suddenly darkened when he heard this, and his face could not help exuding strong murderous intent, “Is this true?”
Xiao Yan is here Seeing this, the people on the side couldn't help but be shocked. He had followed Yao Lao for several years, and this was the first time he saw Yao Lao showing such a gloomy and ferocious expression.
Lin Yuan nodded and said in a deep voice: "Of course it is true. I have no reason to deceive senior, right?"
As he said that, he showed Yao Lao his From the trophies obtained by those soul envoys, he continued: "With their huge power, Jie Jie monsters are not scarce in any corner of the continent. In any case, seniors should be careful and don't let them discover them. Traces."
"Jiejie?" Hearing Lin Yuan's words, Yao Lao was startled, thinking about the appearance of that group of people, and couldn't help but smile, "This description is quite appropriate."
Afterwards, Yao Lao fell into deep contemplation, his brows furrowed, and his expression became more solemn.
If there are minions from the Soul Palace in the Jiama Empire, then Xiao Yan needs to be more careful when going to Yunlan Sect for an appointment. It is best if he can hide in the dark without taking action. Once he takes action, especially against Yunshan, there is a risk of being exposed. Once exposed, the people in the Soul Palace will be like mad dogs, chasing after him crazily.
At this time, Xiao Yan on the side was confused by the conversation between Lin Yuan and Yao Lao.
He looked at Yaolao's solemn expression, felt the solemn atmosphere around him, and couldn't help but feel nervous. He asked in a low voice: "Teacher, Brother Tianshu, what are you talking about?"
Yao Lao looked at Xiao Yan's nervous expression and gave him a comforting look, but did not explain. This was not the time to tell him this, he had to ensure that Xiao Yan could handle his challenge with peace of mind.
Yao Lao turned to Lin Yuan and began to confirm more specific information: "Little friend, where did you find their traces."
Lin Yuan seemed to recall the scene of that day. After that, he said: "A month ago, near the Gui Zhen Pass of the Jiama Empire."
"Gui Zhen Pass, in the direction of the Black Angle Domain?" After hearing Lin Yuan's words, Yao Lao murmured : "I see, those guys like to collect souls, and the border battlefields where a large number of people died are indeed their favorite places to stay."
"Then how strong are the guys you met?" Yao Lao continued to ask. road.
Lin Yuan thought for a moment and said seriously: "The ones I met are not very strong, they are just soul envoys at the level of fighting kings."
"Soul envoys?" Yao Lao Hearing this, he felt slightly relieved, "This is good news."
However, thinking about the upcoming three-year appointment, Yao Lao felt a little worried again. Traces of Soul Envoys can be found at the border gates of the Jia Ma Empire, which means that the Soul Palace may have spies in the Jia Ma Empire. He must act more carefully to avoid exposing his identity.
At the same time, he also began to think about how to deal with the upcoming possible battle with the Yunlan Sect.
Based on the investigation during this period, Yao Lao has some understanding of the Yunlan Sect and Yunshan's style of conduct. He is a person who cares very much about the honor of the Yunlan Sect.
Especially after he broke through the Douzong, his style became more domineering, and this characteristic became even more obvious. For the sake of the sect's honor, he even deposed and exiled the former sect leader Yun Yun, his beloved disciple who he had raised by himself. This kind of person, if Xiao Yan defeated Nalan Yanran, whom he personally taught, in the three-year agreement, he would bring down the face of the Yunlan Sect in full view of the public. In order to maintain the honor of the sect, whatever he did was not surprising to Yao Lao.
What's more, there is a sixth-grade alchemist in the Yunlan Sect who covets strange fires - Furukawa.
The attraction of alien fire to alchemists, and what crazy things an alchemist can do for the sake of alien fire, Yao Lao is very clear in his heart.
Xiao Yan is a great fighting master but possesses strange fire. When he walks in front of Furukawa, he looks like a piece of cake delivered to his door.
Without him, the great fighting master is guilty of possessing a strange fire and a jade.
And once they really face each other, in the opponent's home court, the opponent also has a strong Douzong expert. If he doesn't take action, it will be extremely difficult for Xiao Yan to retreat unscathed.
Lin Yuan looked calmly at Yao Lao who was brainstorming in front of him. He was waiting for Yao Lao to seek cooperation.
Lin Yuan's search for Yao Lao this time was naturally not just to reminisce about the past, but also to confirm Yao Lao's current status and see to what level his strength had returned, so as to better deduce the situation.
At the same time, he did have some intention of investing in Yaolao.
After all, once Yao Lao regains his physical body, he will be a boss-level figure like a Dou Zun or even a semi-saint.
At this time, he was at his weakest, so using some information about the Soul Palace that was not of high value to him to be able to make friends with him in a timely manner could be regarded as a cost-effective way.
I will also be involved in the Zhongzhou circle in the future, so there is no harm in making friends with this big shot in Zhongzhou in advance.
In addition, Lin Yuan is also very interested in the secret method used by Yao Lao to refine a body that can perfectly absorb the soul, and wants to get it in this cooperation.
After all, he has solved the most difficult problem of gathering three kinds of strange fires. At present, he already has Qinglian Earth Core Fire, Sea Heart Flame and Fallen Heart Flame Zihuo in his hands. It is not difficult to even get the Fallen Heart Flame itself.
The three materials for refining the body in that method, the bone-melting and blood-melting pill, the essence blood of the seventh-level monster, and the bones of the powerful Dou Zong, are not a problem for Lin Yuan.
The first material is the Bone-Blending Blood Pill. Lin Yuan had already obtained the elixir from Han Feng's collection, and even collected most of the medicinal materials. According to Lin Yuan's estimation, now that he is going all out, he has a 20% chance of successfully refining this seventh-grade peak elixir. In the future, the success rate of refining it will only be higher.
The second material is the essence bloodline of seventh-level monsters. This is not a problem, he already has the corpse of a seventh-level monster in his hand. Moreover, on the way from the Black Horn Region to the Tagore Desert, he had already recorded the mountains with seventh-level monsters, and he could just hunt a few later.
The third material is the bones of Douzong strong men. This is not a problem. There are some Douzong-level forces in the northwest and Black Corner Region that Lin Yuan intends to destroy because they have what he needs on hand. When the time comes, just recover a few Douzong skeletons.
Lin Yuan quietly looked at Yao Lao, who was meditating with his eyes closed, waiting for his decision.
The reason why he informed Yao Lao about the people in the Soul Palace was to create demand and make Yao Lao want something from him, thus giving both parties a basis for transactions.
A few minutes later, Yao Lao, who had closed his eyes in deep contemplation, opened his eyes. A clear understanding of everything was flowing in his eyes, and he had already made a decision.
He understood that Lin Yuan's trip must have other purposes, not just out of good intentions.
However, this is not important. For Yao Lao, it didn't matter what Lin Yuan's motives were as long as it could help him solve the problem at hand.
Thinking of this, Yao Lao slowly said: "It seems that my little friend has already understood the dilemma I encountered. And you told me this news, presumably because you have some feelings for me. "Please?"
Hearing this, Lin Yuan clasped his hands and sighed, "As expected of Senior Yao, he immediately saw through this junior's thoughts."
Then, he said frankly: "There are two reasons. First, I really don’t want to see someone like my senior fall into the hands of that group of people; second, I have a problem that may require the wisdom and experience of my senior to solve.”
He nodded slightly. He continued: "I have always adhered to the creed of being kind to others and cooperating with each other for win-win results. However, in the end, it is the senior who decides whether to cooperate with me."
"You are very honest." A flash of light flashed in Yaolao's eyes. With a look of appreciation, he said lightly: "I still admire you very much. If the conditions are right, I am also willing to cooperate with you. Tell me, what is it?"
Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and said solemnly. : "I have an elder who is in a similar situation to his predecessor. His body has been destroyed and only his soul remains. He is the top alchemist in the mainland. I wonder if he has a way to regain his body?"
This As soon as he said this, a look of surprise flashed in Yao Lao's eyes, and he suddenly felt as if he was getting sleepy and giving him a pillow. He does have a method in his hand that can refine the body, but this method has never been put into practice. If someone is willing to try it, it is not a bad thing.
What's more, this can also be used as a bargaining chip in his deal with Lin Yuan, helping him solve the trouble at hand.
In addition, the person in front of me also has a strange fire. If he could borrow his Qinglian Earth Core Fire, his Bone Spirit Cold Fire and Xiao Yan's Wind Fury Dragon Flame, the most difficult step of refining the body - the three different fires would be completed.
However, although Yao Lao had a lot of thoughts in his heart, his face remained calm.
After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he thought for a moment, and then said slowly: "I do have a way to solve what you said. However, this method was accidentally obtained by me, and it is quite difficult to implement it. It’s difficult. At the same time, I can’t guarantee success.”
Hearing this, Lin Yuan said in a deep voice: “Senior, please make it clear.”
After that, Yao Lao took out the secret scroll of body refining. He briefly introduced to Lin Yuan his method of refining the body.
After listening to the explanation, Lin Yuan seemed to think for a while, and then said: "This method is exactly what I need. Now senior can also state his own conditions." Yao Lao heard the words and smiled lightly, He raised the scroll in his hand and said with a smile: "It's very simple. You protect Xiao Yan when he goes to Yunlan Sect for the three-year appointment. After the event is completed, this scroll can be given to you. If your elders use this method, you will give it to Just tell me the effect of the method."
"Follow up, you can lend me the Qinglian Earth Heart Fire method again. Of course, it's not taking it away from you. The strange fire is to use the method of borrowing fire between alchemists."
Hearing this, Lin Yuan's brows condensed slightly, as if he was weighing the pros and cons.
After a while, he spoke slowly and said in a deep voice: "Senior Yao, I have no objection to the specific effect of the notification and the borrowing of fire you mentioned. However, the matter of protecting Brother Xiao for the three-year appointment... "
"How?" Yao Lao raised his eyebrows slightly, waiting for his next words.
Lin Yuan shook his head slightly and said: "It is not my style to rush to other people's home court. Moreover, I don't want to appear in front of everyone in the Jiama Empire. Therefore, regarding the protection of Xiao Yan from the Yunlan Sect to the Third Can the conditions of the annual agreement be slightly modified? "
"Oh, how do you want to modify it?" Lin Yuan's words made Yao Lao a little interested.
Lin Yuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile: "What seniors are worried about is nothing more than Yunshan, the Douzong, taking action. You must take action when the time comes. Therefore, if you expose your traces, you will be exposed by those people. Are you keeping an eye on it?”
Yao Lao nodded, this was indeed his worry.
"Then why don't we change our thinking." Lin Yuan said meaningfully, "If Yunshan is not in Yunlan Sect on the day Brother Xiao goes to the appointment, wouldn't the problem be solved?"
"I have a way to prevent Yunshan from being with the Yunlan Sect that day, and the next thing can be easily solved by senior. Without Yunshan's action, the remaining combat power of the Yunlan Sect, even if the senior does not take action, Brother Xiao should I can leave smoothly."
As he said that, Lin Yuan glanced at Ling Ying's location vaguely.
When Yao Lao heard this, his eyes lit up. This is indeed an excellent method. If Yunshan was not there that day, and there were members of the royal family and the Alchemist Guild who stood up for Xiao Yan, the Yunlan Sect would not necessarily take action against Xiao Yan.
Even if they take action, Xiao Yan's little girlfriend sends a peak Dou Huang warrior, even if he doesn't take action, it will be enough for Xiao Yan to leave safely.
Thinking of this, Yao Lao nodded slightly and said: "It is true, your strategy is indeed feasible, I agree."
Hearing this, Lin Yuan nodded and said in a deep voice: "For this to happen, I need the two of you to cooperate with me."
"What's the matter?"
"Before the decisive battle, Xiao Yan and Yan Xiao are the same person, and they cannot be exposed to Yunlan Sect. Otherwise, it would be much more difficult to lure Yunshan out."
"Why?" Xiao Yan asked.
Lin Yuan smiled softly and said calmly: "Brother Xiao, you have a strange fire! Furukawa's desire for strange fire is no joke."
"As far as I know You know, Yun Yun, the former leader of Yunlan Sect, was also Furukawa's sweetheart. The reason why he was exiled from the sect was because he helped Furukawa go to the desert to find strange fires and invade the Holy City of Snakes, but was defeated and captured by Queen Medusa. "
"For the news of the strange fire, Furukawa even broke into the hinterland of the snake people."
"Now, Brother Xiao, you are a great fighting master, and you have strange powers. Even if you put the fire in front of him, are you sure he will let it go easily?"
After a pause, Lin Yuan continued: "If your identity is exposed in advance, he will definitely make arrangements in advance and wait for you to get involved. To ensure nothing is lost, he might ask Yunshan to take action. If this is the case, I may not be able to Lure Yunshan away."
Hearing Lin Yuan's words, Xiao Yan was silent for a while, then nodded, cupped his fists and saluted, and said: "So there is such an inside story. Thank you Brother Tianshu for reminding me. . ”
At this moment, he realized how terrible the behavior he was accustomed to was. Putting himself in his shoes, if a person who he could kill easily walked up to him with a strange fire, Xiao Yan didn't know what he would do.
“Perhaps, somewhere I don’t know, the teacher has resisted many covetous people in the dark and settled many things for me.”
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan looked towards Yao Lao's eyes were even more grateful.
At the same time.
"Sneeze!" Ling Ying sneezed in the shadow not far away. He rubbed his nose lightly and said to himself: "Who is missing me?"
Then, he turned his eyes to the direction of Xiao Yan, Lin Yuan and Yao Lao, and murmured in a low voice: "Who is this person? He should not be from the Gama Empire. It is terrifying to have such a level of cultivation at such a young age. That's it."
"How should I report to the young lady so that Master Xiao Yan can look more outstanding?" After saying this, his tone became a little distressed.
On the other side, Lin Yuan was discussing specific plans and details with Yao Lao and Xiao Yan.
He also revealed to Xiao Yan that the royal family and the Miter family already knew his true identity, as well as his father's appointment as city lord.
"In short, Brother Xiao can ask friends from the royal family to help cover up the matter of concealing his identity. I will tell the Miter family to let them block the news. I am kind to their family, for this reason Little things don’t matter.”
Lin Yuan continued to express his serious attitude in small details to show his sincerity for cooperation.
After the agreement was completed, Xiao Yan solemnly clasped his fists at Lin Yuan and said, "Brother Lao Tianshu will be here this time."
Lin Yuan waved his hand and said softly: "There is no need to thank you. It is a matter of mutual help and mutual benefit. If Brother Xiao ends up in a place like this, there will be one less person of the same age who can compete for glory in the mainland in the future, which is also a pity."
"Will we compete on the mainland in the future?" Xiao Yan repeated in a low voice, with expectation shining in his eyes, "Xiao Yan will definitely live up to this expectation."
After the formal discussions were over, Lin Yuan also had the intention to joke a little. So, he said what he had always wanted to complain about.
“Brother Xiao seems to have been a little random when choosing his pseudonym.” Lin Yuan smiled, “Yan Xiao and Xiao Yan, these two names can be connected with a little association. If not, I’m afraid even if The Jia Ma royal family will not easily find out your true identity."
Xiao Yan smiled bitterly. He naturally knew that his fake name might be discovered, but he still did it.
"Perhaps, I was secretly hoping that someone could see through this fake identity and surprise everyone." Xiao Yan said to himself, "I just didn't expect that a three-year appointment would turn into It’s such a complicated thing.”
Yao Lao seemed to see through Xiao Yan's thoughts. He patted Xiao Yan's shoulder and said with a smile: "Young man, it is important to be calm, but you must also be full of fighting spirit and passion. There is no need to regret, every decision and action you make will be It will be a mark of your growth.”
Yao Lao was well aware of most of Xiao Yan’s choices and actions, but he did not interfere or correct them. Because this young man's vigor and impetus are exactly what he admires.
Hearing Yao Lao's approval, Xiao Yan nodded gently with a firm gaze. No matter what, he will overcome the obstacles in front of him.
Seeing this, Lin Yuan nodded slightly and said loudly: "Seeing that Brother Xiao has such fighting spirit, I feel relieved. Then, I wish Brother Xiao a success in this medicine refining conference."
"Brother Tianshu is also an alchemist, right? Don't you plan to participate in this conference?" Xiao Yan asked.
Lin Yuan smiled lightly, with overflowing confidence in his eyes: "If I participate, there will be no suspense in this competition. It would be too boring."
"So, this stage , let’s leave it to Brother Xiao. Let’s put the showdown between you and me at the Zhongzhou Dan Conference in eight years!”
“Will Dan meet in eight years?”
"That's right, eight years later, the biggest alchemist gathering in Zhongzhou - the Dan Club will be held again. Senior Yao once won the championship in the Dan Club, and later became the number one alchemist in the mainland."
“I hope that at that time, Brother Xiao will be enough to become my opponent and compete with me.”
