Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Ye Chen flew high into the sky and shouted, "Senior Black Dragon, let's talk this out. Shall we sit down and have a chat?"

A moment later, the space not far in front of Ye Chen rippled, and a huge black dragon appeared out of thin air.

Ye Chen's pupils contracted; this was spatial teleportation!

This damn black dragon is indeed proficient in spatial power; it's several levels higher than Orochi's spatial power.

If the giant snake had this skill, Ye Chen might not have been able to kill it.

"As expected of a senior, your spatial teleportation skills are truly admirable!"

Ye Chen smiled and began to say nice things.

Saying nice things won't hurt him. He needs Long's help now, so shouldn't he lower his stance a bit?

"Boy, I'll spare your life today because you bear the aura of my race. But if you plead for the sake of those despicable humans, don't blame me for killing you too."

Black Dragon stared coldly at Ye Chen.

"Senior Black Dragon's cultivation is extraordinary. I don't think I'm qualified to sit at the table and negotiate with you. Of course, I'm not here to plead for you. I'm here to offer you compensation." Ye Chen said with a smile and cupped his hands in greeting.

"Oh~ compensation?" Black Dragon thought Ye Chen would say something else, but he said compensation instead.

This piqued Heilong's interest.

"Tell me, what kind of compensation?" Black Dragon asked casually, jokingly.

Seeing that he had temporarily stabilized the black dragon, Ye Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. What he feared most was that the guy would start fighting without even letting him finish speaking.

"Senior, please take a look!" Ye Chen said, taking out several Nascent Soul stage pills.

The black dragon sniffed, its playful expression fading slightly, and it said with some surprise, "You actually have such a pill, no wonder, no wonder you have such cultivation at such a young age."

The elixir floated directly in front of the black dragon.

"Senior, please try these pills and see if you are satisfied with them." Ye Chen cupped his hands in greeting.

The black dragon didn't say anything, swallowed all the pills in one gulp, and showed an expression of enjoyment.

After a long pause, the black dragon slowly spoke, its playful expression almost completely gone: "Not bad, it's been a long time since I've had such good food. Bring out anything else you have."

Just then, a silver dragon flew over.

Ye Chen recognized the other party as the dragon from Xunlong Mountain.

It's finally here!

"Little Silver Dragon, what brings you here?" The Black Dragon glanced at the Silver Dragon with some surprise!

"Elder, he is my friend. Please don't hurt him. He is the human I told you about who saved me!" Silver Dragon pleaded for Ye Chen.

The black dragon glanced at the silver dragon, then at Ye Chen: "So it was him. Just as I guessed. Don't worry, I never intended to kill him. I only want those ants below to die!"

Upon seeing the silver dragon arrive, Ye Chen cupped his hands in greeting: "Thank you for your help, Senior Silver Dragon, and thank you for your mercy, Senior Black Dragon."

"This junior may venture to ask Senior Black Dragon, what would it take to spare the millions of innocent people? They are innocent. What are your conditions? Senior Black Dragon, please feel free to state them!"

"I know that some people have gone too far in the past, and their actions have indeed harmed the dragon race, but those were the decisions and actions of a minority."

"What conditions would you need to release those innocent civilians?"

Ye Chen took a deep breath and revealed his true purpose.

The black dragon narrowed its eyes and stared at Ye Chen, its immense pressure bearing down on him.

"Kid, I told you, don't plead for those ants, or I'll still kill you!"

The overwhelming pressure was not too bad for Ye Chen.

Since he had already said it, Ye Chen decided to go all out.

Ye Chen took a deep breath: "Senior Black Dragon, every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor. Even if you kill ordinary people, what good will it do? Does that count as revenge? Those who sealed you are not down there! On the contrary, if you commit too many killings, it will probably be even more difficult for you to break through in the future."

"Kid, stop with the sweet talk. Someone has to bear my anger. You think you can make me back down with just a few words? You're too naive!" Black Dragon stared at Ye Chen with an unfriendly expression.

It looked like they were about to make a move at any moment!

"I know, Senior Black Dragon, you have resentment. Anyone who is sealed would have resentment, and I would too. But we can't exterminate all the ants just because one ant bit someone!" Ye Chen took out some pills again.

"Of course, I'm not just making empty promises. Humans are willing to pay the compensation that is due, as long as you can calm down and we can sit down and talk it over!"

"Furthermore, to be frank, the dragon has always been the spiritual totem of the Dragon Kingdom, and the people have believed in it for thousands of years. This power of faith also benefits the dragon race!"

"So, you really didn't need to slaughter all the people who believed in you, don't you think, Senior Black Dragon!"

Ye Chen adopted a very humble attitude, appealing to their emotions and urging them to cooperate with his interests.

To be fair, the black dragon did indeed flinch when the topic of the power of faith came up.

Ye Chen accurately detected a slight emotional fluctuation in the black dragon!

If there's something that interests you, that's fine; if there's something that interests you, you can talk about it.

Let's get through this immediate crisis first!

Ye Chen sent a telepathic message to the silver dragon, asking it to say a few good words for him and promising a generous reward afterward.

Silver Dragon finally stepped forward to help, saying, "Elder, this young human friend is right. Our dragon race and the dragon kingdom have a deep bond. We can't blame everyone for the mistakes of a few. I think this matter can be discussed!"

Black Dragon's eyes darted around as he pondered!

It's not stupid!

I quickly figured out the key point.

Slaughtering all of humanity does seem inappropriate; the power of totem faith does indeed have some benefits for the dragon race!

However, if its anger does not subside and its thoughts are not clear, its Daoist heart will also become unstable!

"Boy, what you say makes some sense, but this matter can't be left so easily. Someone has to pay the price. I can spare everyone, but all cultivators must die. I hate human cultivators; that's my bottom line!"

"Also, the seal below must be lifted."

"Also, you must give me 1000 of those pills you just gave me every year!"

After speaking, Heilong narrowed his eyes and stared at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen was cursing inwardly. "You're negotiating with this bastard?"

All cultivators must die? That would mean the deaths of everyone, but the entire Dragon Kingdom is now focused on cultivation…

The seal itself wasn't a problem; it could be removed easily, which was within Ye Chen's expectations. However, the pill was a bit excessive...

1000 pills is no small number. Now that no one is helping him refine pills, he has to refine them himself.

Although there are still some green beads in stock, they can't withstand this kind of production.

It'll all be gone in a year or two.

In that case, wouldn't we have to worship it from now on until we become a deity ourselves...?

No matter how you calculate it, it's a loss.

But since Heilong is willing to talk, that's good. The conditions were negotiated by themselves.

There's no reason not to haggle when buying or selling.

"Ahem, it's necessary for Senior Black Dragon to lift the seal. We would have done it to show our sincerity even without you saying so," Ye Chen said with a light cough and a smile.
