Chapter 3882 Taking advantage of a crisis
"Fellow Daoist, what are your chances of success in refining the Heaven-Crossing Profound Pill?"
Shen Changqing looked at the other person and asked.
Lu Changge pondered for a moment before giving his answer: "About 70%!"
"What if you fail to refine the pills, fellow Daoist?"
Shen Changqing's words left Lu Changge speechless.
"What are your plans, fellow Daoist? Please speak frankly!"
He then took a deep breath and looked at Shen Changqing.
Now all that's missing is a Yin-Yang Harmony Flower, and for Lu Changge, he has to get it no matter what.
Without the Seven Profound Dao Sect, obtaining this item from other sources would definitely not be so easy.
after all.
Such rare and precious natural treasures are extremely rare.
Lu Changge didn't know where to find it either.
Besides, even if they did have it, the other party might not be able to give it to them easily.
Since it's all about negotiating terms anyway, why not talk to the Seven Mysteries Dao Sect?
after all.
In Lu Changge's view, he at least knew that the Seven Profound Dao Sect had the Yin-Yang Harmony Flower, so he didn't need to waste his time looking for it.
Shen Changqing smiled faintly: "The preciousness of semi-saint level natural treasures goes without saying, but I am not an unreasonable person."
How about this: if you fail to refine it, then stay in the Seven Profound Dao Sect for a million years to refine immortal pills for our sect, or train ten seventh-level alchemy grandmasters.
If the refining is successful, no matter how many pills are produced, I want half of the Heaven-Crossing Profound Pills.
"If you, fellow Daoist, can agree, then I, this humble Daoist, will gladly offer the Yin-Yang Harmony Flower. If you cannot, then I'm sorry!"
Since it was a transaction and negotiating terms, Shen Changqing had nothing to hide.
to him.
The most important thing is to maximize profits.
Although this move has a somewhat opportunistic feel to it.
But Shen Changqing didn't mind.
As long as one can gain even a little more benefit, it doesn't matter if one is shameless.
Of course.
Most importantly, Shen Changqing sensed a stench of decay emanating from Lu Changge.
He was all too familiar with this aura.
That was the aura of the five signs of decay in the celestial beings.
Shen Changqing had seen it on more than one half-saint.
"Fellow Daoist, isn't this asking for a bit too much?"
Lu Changge's face turned ugly. He had expected Shen Changqing to make an exorbitant demand, but he hadn't expected the other party to be so greedy.
If the refining fails, the person must serve for a million years; even if it succeeds, they must share half of the Heaven-Crossing Mystic Pill. It seems that regardless of whether the refining fails or not, the other party is guaranteed to profit.
In comparison, I feel rather uncomfortable.
"You should know that many rare and precious materials are needed to refine the Heavenly Transcending Mystic Pill, and the Yin-Yang Harmony Flower is just one of them."
"Fellow Daoist, you only offered a single rare and precious herb, yet you demand half of my Heaven-Crossing Profound Pill in return. And if I fail, you expect me to serve you for a million years! Isn't that a bit excessive?"
Lu Changge's tone was icy, and the anger in his eyes was undisguised.
Shen Changqing smiled faintly: "A transaction is based on mutual consent. If you are unwilling, then I will not force you."
"..."
Lu Changge was speechless for a moment.
He stared intently at Shen Changqing, who remained calm and unperturbed, showing no concern whatsoever.
a long time.
Lu Changge seemed deflated, gritting his teeth as he said, "Fine, I agree!"
no way.
The other party clearly had me cornered.
In the past, Lu Changge would have already stormed off and would never have yielded in the slightest.
But not now.
The five signs of decay could arrive at any moment, and he doesn't have much time left to waste. If he doesn't agree, he can only hide in a forbidden zone and eke out a living.
This was certainly not the outcome Lu Changge wanted.
and so.
Despite seeing that Shen Changqing was trying to take advantage of the situation, Lu Changge could only grit her teeth and agree.
People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads!
Shen Changqing laughed and said, "Good, fellow Daoist is straightforward. There happens to be a source of earth fire in the Cangwu Mountains, of quite good quality, which can be used for your pill refining."
"Fellow Daoist, do you not believe me?"
Lu Changge's chest heaved violently as he gritted his teeth and spoke.
Shen Changqing picked up his teacup and said calmly, "There are some things that you don't need to say so bluntly, fellow Daoist."
After all, the Yin-Yang Harmony Flower is precious, and I am somewhat worried.
"The Nine Heavens Immortal Realm is so vast, fellow Daoist, you can either take your things and run away, then this humble Daoist can't do anything to you."
"..."
Lu Changge took another deep breath. He had been cultivating for many years and had forgotten how long it had been since he had felt so stifled. His once firm Dao heart was now somewhat unstable.
Having already agreed to the previous conditions, Lu Changge naturally had nothing to say about this last one.
"Very well, I agree!"
What can we do if we don't agree?
Now Lu Changge has no choice but to accept it, even if it means refusing to admit it.
See here.
Shen Changqing's smile broadened considerably: "Alright, fellow Daoist is very generous. You may choose any place outside the thirteen peaks of the Cangwu Mountains to establish your immortal abode."
Of course, if you wish, fellow Daoist, you may also choose to establish your immortal abode on my Cangyun Peak.
As for the Yin-Yang Harmony Flower, I will present it to you with both hands tomorrow!
"it is good!"
Lu Changge took a deep breath, then turned and left.
Instead of establishing a celestial abode on Cangyun Peak, he randomly found a place in the Cangwu Mountains to live in.
Although the celestial aura of Cangyun Peak was much stronger, Lu Changge did not want to face Shen Changqing.
Besides, at his level, the amount of immortal energy doesn't actually have a significant impact.
Another point.
That is, Lu Changge did not believe that he would fail in refining it.
Therefore, settling down at the Seven Mysteries Dao Sect is only a short-term matter.
Once he has finished refining the Heaven-Crossing Profound Pill, he may leave.
the other side.
Shen Changqing also sent a message to Zhu Rong, and soon saw the other party arrive.
"What are your orders, Sect Master?"
Looking at the burly man before him, Shen Changqing said, "You recently obtained a Yin-Yang Harmony Flower. I currently need it to refine the Heaven-Crossing Profound Pill. If the refining is successful, I can give you a celestial pill!"
"The Flower of Yin and Yang Harmony..."
Zhu Rong paused for a moment, then shook his head.
"Sect Master, you have asked the wrong question. The Yin-Yang Harmony Flower is in Elder Duan's hands, not mine."
"Severing immortality..."
Shen Changqing looked surprised, but he did not doubt the truth of Zhu Rong's words. After all, the other party had no need to deceive him, nor was there any possibility of deceiving him.
He waved his hand, signaling Zhu Rong to leave, and then sent a message to Duan Changsheng.
Not long after, Duan Changsheng arrived upon hearing the news.
Shen Changqing gave the same answer, and the latter, without hesitation, took out the Yin-Yang Harmony Flower.
"If the sect leader finds this useful, he may take it. I would never dare to ask for anything in return!"
"The Yin-Yang Harmony Flower is extraordinary. How could I possibly take advantage of you? If the Heaven-Crossing Profound Pill can be successfully refined, I will naturally give you one."
Even if the refining fails, I will still compensate you.
After Shen Changqing finished speaking, he waved for Duan Changsheng to leave.
Then.
With a thought, he summoned Lu Changge.
The latter had just settled down when, upon receiving the message, he also headed straight for the Cangyun Immortal Mansion.
When Lu Changge arrived, Shen Changqing flipped his hand and saw a red and white fairy flower, about the size of a palm, appear.
"Is this what Fellow Daoist Lu desires?"
"The Flower of Yin and Yang Harmony!"
Lu Changge carefully accepted the Yin-Yang Harmony Flower, his face revealing his excitement.
He spent countless years collecting the rare and precious materials needed to refine the Heavenly Transcending Mystic Pill.
Until now.
The Yin-Yang Harmony Flower is in hand.
Then the final ingredient of the Heavenly Essence Pill will be complete.
This moment.
Lu Changge was in a great mood.
He looked at Shen Changqing and said, "That's right, this is the Yin-Yang Harmony Flower. With this, all the rare and precious materials needed to refine the Heaven-Crossing Profound Pill can be gathered."
Next, I will begin refining elixirs.
Before that, I hope you will not allow any cultivators to disturb us, as the refining of such elixirs cannot tolerate the slightest disturbance, otherwise there is always the possibility of failure.
"No problem, I will not allow anyone to disturb you until you have completed your alchemy!"
Shen Changqing nodded and gave his promise directly.
Upon hearing this...
Lu Changge said no more and left with the Yin-Yang Harmony Flower.
Watching the other person's departing figure, Shen Changqing picked up his teacup and took a sip, feeling quite pleased with himself.
He both hoped that Lu Changge would succeed in refining the pill, and also hoped that she would fail.
After all, if he succeeds, he will at least get a Heaven-Crossing Mystic Pill.
The value of a celestial pill that can enable a second-stage half-saint to undergo the Five Signs of Decay is self-evident.
If the other party fails to refine the pill, that's alright.
Having at least an eighth-rank, second-grade alchemy grandmaster serving him yielded good results.
Even if he only serves for a million years, Lu Changge can still play a significant role.
Regardless of the outcome, Shen Changqing is guaranteed to make a profit.
For the rest of the time, Shen Changqing stayed in the Cangyun Immortal Mansion, but at the same time, his divine sense covered the Cangwu Mountains, specifically to protect Lu Changge.
He had already promised the other party these things, so naturally he wouldn't go back on his word.
but.
Shen Changqing did not spy on the other party's alchemy.
Just as Lu Changge said, the refining of top-tier immortal pills cannot tolerate the slightest disturbance.
Divine senses cannot possibly conceal the presence of a Second Tribulation Half-Saint.
It would be bad if this caused the other party to fail in alchemy.
Although Shen Changqing hoped that Lu Changge could stay in the Seven Profound Dao Sect, he disdained to use such despicable means.
However, as time went by, a mysterious Daoist aura permeated the Cangwu Mountains. This aura was obscure and unpredictable, and even cultivators who were not at the semi-saint level could hardly detect it.
When Shen Changqing discovered this Daoist aura, his expression became slightly serious.
"It seems that Lu Changge's Heaven-Crossing Mystic Pill has reached a crucial stage in its refinement!"
A century has passed since the other party began refining elixirs.
For a century.
Lu Changge did not step out of the Immortal Mansion, and Shen Changqing did not use any divine sense to deliberately probe the truth.
Until now.
A mysterious and unfamiliar Daoist aura appeared between heaven and earth. Shen Changqing immediately realized that this Daoist aura originated from Lu Changge's immortal abode.
This indicates that the other party has reached a critical juncture in refining the Heaven-Crossing Mystic Pill.
In this regard.
Shen Changqing was also somewhat curious.
He wanted to see if Lu Changge could really refine the Heaven-Crossing Mystic Pill.
