Chapter 823: Bargaining
Seeing Zhou Qing'er crying uncontrollably, Bai Chen shook his head helplessly.
He really didn't want to give her any hope, so he had no choice but to speak harshly!
Bai Chen acted as if he hadn't seen her and walked directly past her without any words of comfort.
He came to Zhou Yichen, cupped his hands, and said with a smile: "Senior Zhou, long time no see."
"Yeah." Zhou Yichen responded lightly.
"If you don't tell me secret words, I will get straight to the point. This time, I hope you can help me heal Pluto's injury."
"Pluto?" Upon hearing the name, Zhou Yichen's face darkened slightly: "Is he still alive?"
"Yes! He was rescued by my friend and is currently hiding in Feiyun Sect."
"..."
Looking directly at Bai Chen's smiling face, Zhou Yichen held his breath slightly: "Boy, if you tell me this, aren't you afraid that I will sell you out?"
"You won't." Bai Chen smiled firmly.
"Oh, are you so sure? It's no longer possible for you and Qing'er, and I have no reason to protect you. But if I sell you, the Phoenix Goddess Temple will definitely thank you with a big gift, so why not?"
Hearing Zhou Yichen's words, Bai Chen pulled out his chair with a smile and sat down.
"What great gift can the Phoenix Goddess Temple give you? It's just some unrefined junk."
"Huh?" He didn't expect Bai Chen to speak so arrogantly, so Zhou Yichen was a little curious: "Then tell me, what benefits can I get from helping you?"
If he were an ordinary person and mocked the Phoenix Temple for not being able to produce anything good, Zhou Yichen would definitely knock him out with one palm.
But this was what Bai Chen said, and he was really looking forward to it. He couldn't wait to see what kind of treasure this kid had hidden, so he dared to be so arrogant.
Leaning back, Bai Chen casually took out a small white jade bottle from his waist and placed it gently on the table.
Seeing the leisurely way he was tapping the table, Zhou Yichen narrowed his old eyes slightly when he looked at the jade bottle: "What is this?"
"open to take a look."
Bai Chen pretended to be mysterious and kept his eyes on the table without even looking at Zhou Chen.
If you want to improve your own worth, you have to speak up, and at least make the other person beg him gratefully.
Seeing Zhou Yichen coming to the table and already picking up the jade bottle, Bai Chen curled his lips and added: "There is only one drop of the blood of the fantasy beast in this world, so be careful."
"good……"
Zhou Yichen had long known that Bai Chen was from the mainland, and now he was even more nervous after hearing this.
Could it be that this little guy returned home this year and stole some rare treasure that amazes the mainland?
With such doubts and full expectations, Zhou Yichen gently opened the bottle cork with trembling hands.
At this moment, a tangy fragrance suddenly filled the air from the mouth of the bottle.
"It smells so good!" Zhou Yichen was shocked.
As a sixth-grade alchemist, his sense of smell is very sensitive.
This smell smells a bit like flowers and grass, but it is lighter than flowers and richer than grass!
Moreover, just one breath can make people feel refreshed and energetic, just like taking a shot of chicken blood.
A long-lost surging power quietly grew in his body. After a moment, Zhou Yichen finally said in horror: "This, what on earth is this!"
He had lived for more than five hundred years and had never seen such miraculous beast blood.
Bai Chen smiled faintly: "This is called the blood of the beast god, and it can give those who take it the power of immortality. Do you think the Phoenix Temple can come up with something rarer than this treasure of mine?"
"Is this true?!" Zhou Yichen confirmed again.
"really!"
Bai Chen smiled and snatched the jade bottle back like lightning, then capped the bottle and put it back to his waist in front of Zhou Chen.
Seeing this, Zhou Yichen's old eyes trembled, and he was a little reluctant: "You, what are you?"
"It's nothing. You should know that only when a cultivator reaches the realm of heaven can he be independent and gain eternal life. Therefore, both you and Zhou Qing'er need this drop of beast blood very much. After all, they will live forever... …More than anything else, right?”
His eyes paused for a moment before Zhou Yichen's old face sank: "What do you mean by that? Why, as the president of the Alchemist Guild, I am a dignified person. Is it possible that I can still steal your animal blood?"
"It's really hard to tell. After all, the blood of fantasy beasts is not an ordinary treasure. If you get jealous, drink it after taking it away, and then refuse to admit it, wouldn't it be a big loss for me?"
"You! Hmph... Even if I want this beast blood, I want it for my precious granddaughter. I have lived for hundreds of years. I don't care if I live a few more years or a few less years!"
Zhou Qing'er's words fell into Zhou Qing'er's ears, causing her beautiful eyes to pause slightly.
"Tell me, what disease does Pluto have?" Zhou Yichen sat opposite Bai Chen and said angrily.
Things really took a turn for the better...
Bai Chen was overjoyed, but still had an indifferent and unruly smile on his face: "After Pluto lost to Zi Liuli, he seemed to have gone crazy. Now he goes crazy every day and can't remember who he is. We have tried many methods. I also gave him many pills to treat amnesia, but they were of no use."
"Hahaha!"
Zhou Yichen couldn't help but laugh out loud, his old eyes almost shrinking into the wrinkles on his face: "Of course ordinary pills are useless. That Pluto is a strong man in the Star Sea Realm. Such a person's body is inherently different from that of a mortal." Both, if there is such a big problem, it is natural to use unusual elixirs to treat it, in order to be effective!"
"You really know the method, tell me!" Bai Chen patted the table, overjoyed.
Seeing his excited look, Zhou Yichen first glanced at Zhou Qing'er, and then asked coldly: "Bai Chen, it's not impossible for me to save Hades, but you tell me first that you won't hesitate to take out the fantasy beast." In exchange for such rare treasures as blood, is it for yourself or for the girl named Tang Qin beside you?"
"For Tang Qin, and for myself." Bai Chen replied decisively, with a gentleman's magnanimous manner.
"Is that so..." Zhou Yichen stared slightly, silent for a long time, and finally raised his eyes again: "I can save him, but you have to promise me one thing!"
"What's the matter?" Bai Chen crossed his arms across his chest and said with a slight smile.
"Marry Qing'er."
! !
Zhou Yichen has really seen through Qing'er's thoughts now, so even if he wants to fool around, he must find ways to help his precious granddaughter get this outstanding man!
only……
"Do you really think you are a powerful sixth-grade alchemist? How dare you bargain with me here? Let me tell you, our family lives on the mainland and that is a well-known sect. Any servant in the house has a seventh-grade or even eighth-grade alchemist. If you don’t help me with my level of medicine refining, at worst I will take Pluto on another trip, and I won’t do this deal!”
With an angry slap, the table between the two of them was shattered. Bai Chen stood up and walked toward the window.
