Simultaneous Transmigration: Minor Characters Don't Be Cannon Fodder

Chapter 95 The Transaction is Completed

"trade?"

Yao Chen was slightly taken aback at first, then floated silently to Xiao Yan's side and protected him behind him, seemingly not letting his guard down at all because of Qing Ling's words.

Qingling didn't seem to care that Yao Chen was scrutinizing her from head to toe, and continued talking to herself.

"Yes, that's right, it's a transaction."

"According to some rumors I've heard, your accidental death back then was related to a special cultivation technique involving a different kind of fire."

"I imagine that the newly accepted disciples will also practice this technique."

"As for strange fires, such rare and precious treasures of heaven and earth, they are hard to find, and half of them already have owners."

"Finding them will definitely be extremely difficult."

"And in my possession, there is a clue about the strange fire, as well as the key to obtaining it."

"I'd like to use this as a bargaining chip in exchange for your alchemy heritage. What's your opinion?"

"Oh, I can give you a piece of information. The clue I have is related to the third-ranked Strange Flame on the Strange Flame Ranking, the Pure Lotus Demon Flame."

Upon hearing Qingling's words, Yao Chen's eyes instantly flashed with killing intent.

But after realizing that Qingling seemed uninterested in the Burning Technique, he slowly suppressed his killing intent and began to consider whether to agree to the deal.

The third-ranked Pure Lotus Demon Flame is not a rare flame whose clues can be easily obtained.

If Xiao Yan wants to cultivate the Burning Technique to its peak, he absolutely cannot miss this strange fire.

However, it's not so easy to exchange a clue and a key of dubious authenticity for his inheritance.

Then Yao Chen shook his head and said to Qing Ling, "Not enough. A clue of unknown authenticity sounds like trying to get something for nothing. It's far from enough to steal my alchemy inheritance."

After Yao Chen finished speaking, the scene fell silent.

However, Qingling had obviously anticipated this.

Then, Qingling's lips curved into a slight smile, she crossed her arms, stared at Yaochen, and began to increase the stakes.

"Since Venerable Medicine is not satisfied with the offer, I will add two more pieces of information."

"One message concerns the supporters behind the Yunlan Sect, and the other concerns your eldest disciple, Han Feng."

Upon hearing this, white flames instantly erupted around Yao Chen, and his previously kind face became incredibly ferocious.

"Enough! I promise, tell me the clues about that wretch!"

Yao Chen's intense reaction startled both Qing Ling and Xiao Yan behind him.

Qingling was alright; knowing the inside story, she wasn't too surprised by Yao Chen's intense reaction.

Of course, she was very excited that the other party agreed to the deal so quickly.

After all, she only had to give up a few pieces of information that were insignificant to her to get Yao Chen's inheritance for free, which was really a great deal.

Xiao Yan was shocked to see Yao Chen's angry expression for the first time.

Because Yao Chen had always maintained a calm and composed demeanor in front of him.

He was quite shocked that such a strong reaction had been generated because of a single name.

It seems that this senior brother named Han Feng is most likely related to his master's death.

"Hehe, senior, please calm down."

"Now that the deal is done, I will certainly offer up all my chips."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qingling reached out and a pieced-together fragment of a map appeared in his hand, slowly drifting towards Yaochen.

"This is a fragment of the map that points to the Pure Lotus Demon Flame. There are four parts to this map. You have two-quarters of it. As for the remaining two, I only know that one of them is in the Black Corner Region."

"As for the last one, I'm afraid you'll have to find it yourselves."

"However, I can tell you that these four fragments of the map are a key. Only by collecting them all can you have a chance to obtain the Pure Lotus Demon Flame."

Upon hearing this, Yao Chen reached out and took the map.

After carefully sensing it, I did indeed detect the aura of a strange fire on it.

After confirming that the item was genuine, Yao Chen flipped his wrist and put it away. He then looked at Qing Ling again, waiting for her to continue her explanation.

"Tell me, who is the mastermind behind the Yunlan Sect, and where is that bastard Han Feng now?"

"Yunlan Sect—"

"Yun Shan, the sect leader of Yunlan Sect, made a deal with the Soul Palace in order to break through to the Dou Zong realm."

"Therefore, at this moment, behind the Yunlan Sect, stands a protector of the Soul Hall."

"I remember Brother Xiao Yan seems to be fulfilling some kind of three-year agreement."

"You should be careful then, since Venerable Medicine, in your current state, going to the appointment would probably be like throwing a meat bun to a dog—you'd never return."

As Qingling spoke, she sighed dramatically and slowly shook her head.

Yao Chen's expression froze when he heard the words "Soul Palace".

Clearly, he hadn't expected that the Soul Palace would get involved with the small Yunlan Sect; this was truly beyond his expectations.

It seems that winning the three-year agreement with my cheap apprentice has become even more difficult.

Qingling watched as Yao Chen's expression gradually turned ugly, but she didn't stop talking. Instead, she continued to give clues about Han Feng.

"As for your eldest disciple, Han Feng, he is currently known as the Medicine Emperor in the Black Corner Region and is considered one of the most powerful and influential figures there."

"Furthermore, he has also cooperated with the Soul Hall. If you want revenge, it won't be that easy."

"However, he possesses the Sea Heart Flame, ranked fifteenth on the Strange Flame Ranking. If you truly succeed in your revenge, the spoils will be quite substantial."

"In addition, I'll give you another piece of information."

"The Soul Hall's activities in the Jia Ma Empire are mainly aimed at the Xiao family."

"Their goal is the same as that of the young lady staying at your house: they're after the Tuoshe Ancient Jade."

After Qingling finished speaking, Yao Chen's face turned completely gloomy.

The Soul Palace, this behemoth, has actually woven such a large net around him.

If they had taken Xiao Yan out into the public eye without knowing anything about him, their fate would likely have been dire.

Thinking about this, he couldn't help but feel a sense of lingering fear.

Without further hesitation, he took out a thick notebook from his storage ring and tossed it to Qingling.

"Cash on delivery, I'm very satisfied with your information. These are notes I've written down over the years, summarizing my experience in alchemy."

""

"If you fully master its contents, it will be enough to help you advance to the eighth-grade alchemist."

Upon hearing this, Qingling took the notebook, quickly flipped through it, and a look of joy appeared on her face.

Now, the alchemy inheritance I've been longing for has finally come to fruition.

Of course, this alchemy tradition is incomplete; at least many of the pill formulas and alchemy techniques created by Yao Chen himself are not recorded.

However, Qingling was already very satisfied, after all, Yao Chen hadn't yet questioned the incompleteness of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame Remnant Map.

Therefore, both parties tacitly agreed not to haggle too much over the transaction.
