Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

As soon as these words were spoken, Jing Shuhan and the other two all changed color.

Even if Chen Yuan is sentimental and righteous and really wants to save them, if Patriarch Yuntian insists on forcing him, he probably won't fight to the end for the three of them.

But Chen Yuan's face darkened, and he said in a cold voice: "Senior, are you threatening me? Unfortunately, I cannot stand provocation. Senior, you can try and see if I can destroy the Fulong Chizhen Vine!"

He tightened his left hand and released a wisp of true energy, wrapping the red vine in his hand.

Patriarch Yuntian frowned and said, "For these three demon cultivators from Tianji Sect, are you willing to sacrifice your life?"

The three of them looked at Chen Yuan with different expressions.

Jing Shuhan's face was slightly flushed, and there was expectation and hesitation in her eyes, which finally softened and she just looked at him quietly.

Wang Lin was the most calm. For the past one hundred years, his soul and blood had been restricted in his body, and his fate was not in his control. However, he was not afraid at all.

Old Ghost Ji shook his head secretly, quietly circulated his true energy, and prepared himself for a life-and-death fight.

He didn't think that he could make Chen Yuan risk his life to save him.

Chen Yuan said coldly: "Senior, you can't even let these three people go, how can I believe that you can let me go after completing the transaction?"

"People have their own ways of doing things and their own ways of not doing things. I have been practicing Taoism for more than a hundred years. Although I cannot be called a kind person, I am not a heartless person either."

"Senior Ji and the two Taoist friends risked their lives to stop you, so I owe them a favor. Now is the time to repay them."

"We all leave together. This is my bottom line. No bargaining allowed!"

"If you don't believe me, you can just give it a try. It's nothing more than a fight to the death. I'm a mid-stage Jindan cultivator, and I can exchange the life of a mid-stage Yuanying cultivator. That's enough for my life."

"Don't worry, senior. Before I die, I will destroy the Fulong Chizhen vine and disperse my soul. No matter whether it is the life-extending elixir or the origin of the white flame, you can never get involved!"

Patriarch Yuntian frowned, a look of hesitation appeared on his face, but Chen Yuan had a calm expression and a very determined look in his eyes.

The thing that Patriarch Yuntian has been longing for is right in his hands, how could he back down?
In his previous life, Chen Yuan had participated in many business negotiations and knew that bargaining chips were the most important bargaining chips, while other techniques were just icing on the cake.

Now the bargaining chips are in his hands. The Fulong Chizhen Vine can extend one's life by two hundred years. For the old ancestor Yuntian who is about to die, it is something he is determined to obtain. He is intimidating the old ancestor Yuntian on this basis.

Chen Yuan knew very well that Patriarch Yuntian would definitely accept the condition of letting the four people leave together. His behavior was just to test his bottom line.

As long as he dares to retreat, Patriarch Yuntian will become more aggressive and force him to continue retreating.

The most important thing about deterrence is momentum. Patriarch Yuntian must be made to believe that as long as the bottom line is touched, he really dares to destroy the Fulong Chizhen Vine.

If his momentum weakened, even if he stopped retreating, Patriarch Yuntian would not believe it, and the deterrence would immediately become ineffective. He would be dead, and at most he would destroy the Fulong Chizhen Vine before he died.

The most important thing is, as Chen Yuan said, he is not a cold-blooded person. Since he owes someone a favor, he must repay it.

Seeing that Chen Yuan was determined, Patriarch Yuntian hesitated for a while, and finally nodded: "I can let you leave together, but how can you guarantee that you will hand over the Fulong Chizhen Vine to me?"

Chen Yuan said: "If you do not agree, I will destroy it now."

Patriarch Yuntian said coldly: "If you can't promise that you will hand over the Fulong Chizhen vine to me, I will let you go, it will be a waste of time. It is better to fight to the death. I still have 20 years to find the elixir of longevity!" Chen Yuan pondered for a moment and said: "Senior, you can plant a restriction in my body, and then we will leave the Huangsha Secret Realm together. I will hand over the Fulong Chizhen vine to you, and you can lift the restriction. How about it?"

"My friend, you are joking. The white flame is extremely strange. Even if I leave a ban, it will be of no use to you." Patriarch Yuntian shook his head.

Chen Yuan said: "Otherwise, after leaving this Yellow Sand Secret Realm, Senior's cultivation will be fully restored. Even if I have the ability to erase the restriction, Senior will be able to activate it in time."

"If I break the contract, Senior only needs to activate the restriction, and I will definitely die."

Patriarch Yuntian nodded slightly: "This method is feasible, but I don't believe that you will be willing to let your life be controlled by others. I believe there must be something else, so why not tell me all at once."

Chen Yuan said: "Senior, you have a keen eye. I will leave a trace of fire on the Fulong Chizhen vine. After leaving the secret realm, I will give the elixir to you and then erase the restriction."

"During this period, if you activate the restriction, I will also activate the fire, and it will be a situation where both sides will be destroyed."

"But once I remove the restriction, I will immediately take back the fire, and everyone will be happy."

Patriarch Yuntian lowered his head and thought for a moment, then nodded slowly: "I'll follow your advice, young friend."

Chen Yuan raised his right hand, and Zhu Yan's True Fire rose up. He said calmly: "I would like to remind you that the fire I planted cannot be wiped out even by a Yuanying cultivator. If you don't believe me, you can give it a try when the time comes."

“This spiritual fire can not only burn the soul, but also destroy a spiritual medicine easily.”

Patriarch Yuntian narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "My friend, you are joking. Since I have agreed to trade with you, how could I have such thoughts?"

"But what if you use the fire to destroy the Fulong Chizhen Vine after erasing the restriction?"

He looked calm, but in fact what Chen Yuan said was right, he did have such a plan in mind.

However, after hearing Chen Yuan's remarks and thinking of the strangeness of the white flame, he weighed the pros and cons and suppressed this idea.

The Fulong Chizhen Teng was related to his plan of prolonging his life, so he didn't dare take any risks. Instead, he was worried that Chen Yuan would destroy the elixir at the last moment.

Chen Yuan smiled and said, "Senior is a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and Zhenhai Sect is the number one sect in Yuqing Sea. If I destroy the elixir for no reason and offend Senior for no reason, I will be unable to move an inch in Yuqing Sea. Wouldn't that be courting death?"

Patriarch Yuntian nodded slightly: "It's good that you know, my friend. I don't have much time left, but it won't be a problem for me to live another twenty years."

"If you break your promise and destroy my life, in the next twenty years, no matter where you flee to, even if it's one of the ten great sects in Jiuxianzhou, I will hunt you down to the ends of the earth and the underworld, and I won't stop until you die!"

His tone was very calm, but it revealed a chilling murderous intent.

Chen Yuan's expression became serious: "Don't worry, senior, I am definitely not such a fool."

Patriarch Yuntian's expression eased, "There is no time to lose. We will leave the Huangsha Secret Realm right now. Taoist Yunhe may still be in the secret realm, waiting for an opportunity to act. We must not give him a chance to take advantage of us."

Chen Yuan shook his head: "There is no rush for this matter. I still have two conditions."

Patriarch Yuntian frowned and said, "Young friend, please speak."

Chen Yuan said: "Senior, you have a high level of cultivation and countless treasures in your hands. You must have no shortage of elixirs and body-hardening elixirs for Jindan cultivators. Please give me some. This condition should not be difficult for you." (End of this chapter)
