"Senior, this junior wishes to exchange for a true dragon bloodline at the level of a Divine Lord, along with other divine medicines or king-level medicines that can enhance comprehension."
Lu Tao's clone did not ask for anything else.
He put himself in the mindset of a genius who was merely at the level of a celestial being, in order to exchange for the items that 'he' most needed.
Improve aptitude and comprehension.
"A Divine Lord-level True Dragon Bloodline?"
Upon hearing this request, Ao Yu couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly.
He only possesses the cultivation level of a Celestial God, yet he wants to exchange it for the bloodline of a True Dragon at the Divine Lord level. This is simply outrageous.
That would have been fine, but Niu Chi actually had other demands.
In an instant, all of Ao Yu's goodwill towards Niu Chi vanished.
The other god-kings were also surprised.
They discovered that this ox was incredibly bold.
Although the bounty says you can ask for anything, you can't just make any request. You should at least think it over carefully, or you might offend the true dragon race.
But they are also very clear.
The success rate of fusing bloodlines of the same realm with a true dragon bloodline is relatively low. However, if a lower realm bloodline is fused with a higher realm true dragon bloodline, the chances of success are much greater.
For someone at the Celestial God realm who has fused with the true dragon bloodline of a Divine Lord level, the chance of success will exceed 70%.
However, if it is to fuse with the bloodline of a true dragon at the Heavenly God realm, the success rate is less than 40%.
Considering all these factors, they can understand Niu Chi's choice.
Ao Yu was naturally aware of all this, but it still couldn't accept the condition, so it said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Niu, your demands are too high."
“Senior, I am already in the late stage of the Heavenly God realm. Only the True Dragon Bloodline of the Divine Lord realm can give me a better chance of success. Please forgive my boldness.” Lu Tao’s clone carefully clasped his hands in a fist salute.
Ao Yu shook his head again and said, "Change your terms."
"..."
Lu Tao remained silent for a moment, then quietly stood up and said, "Since senior is unwilling, then this junior will not insist. Farewell!"
Having said that, he was about to leave, his attitude very firm.
"Cough cough!"
Demon Bull coughed, pulled Niu Chi back, and laughed, "Fellow Daoist Niu's temper suits my taste. But Fellow Daoist Niu, not to criticize you, but transactions are all about bargaining. How can you, as the seller, leave just because you think the price is not right? If you're going to leave, you should be the one driving the buyer away."
Demon Bull chuckled, trying to smooth things over between the two sides. Then, his tone changed, and he said, "However, the bloodline of a true dragon at the Divine Lord level is indeed quite rare. Even among the true dragon race, it is extremely scarce."
"How about this? Although the success rate of fusing with a true dragon's bloodline at the celestial level is not high, we can trade for two more copies and try a few more times. Wouldn't that increase our chances of success?"
After speaking, Demon Bull looked at Niu Chi, then at Ao Yu, and said, "Fellow Daoist Niu, Brother Ao, what do you think?"
Lu Tao's clone remained silent, seemingly deep in thought.
Ao Yu replied directly, "Okay, then two portions of True Dragon Bloodline at the Heavenly God Realm."
As soon as it finished speaking, Lu Tao's clone shook its head and refused, saying, "No, two portions are too few, at least five portions."
"Kid, don't go too far."
Ao Yu said with some anger, "Do you know what five portions of true dragon bloodline mean? It means the death of five true dragons of my True Dragon Clan."
"..."
Lu Tao's clone remained silent, seemingly unwilling to compromise in the slightest.
Seeing this, Ao Yu was secretly annoyed; the stubbornness of the Bull Clan was truly remarkable.
He took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and said, "I'll concede again. Three portions, three portions of the true dragon bloodline of the Heavenly God realm. If you really don't want to, then forget it."
This appears to be the highest price it can offer.
"..."
Lu Tao's clone remained silent.
Seeing this, Demon Bull quickly advised, "Fellow Daoist Bull, accept it. This price is already very good. You should know that you have other requirements. Under normal circumstances, your cultivation technique would not be worth nearly this much."
Upon hearing this, Lu Tao's clone seemed to be persuaded and hesitated somewhat.
But I'm still undecided.
The Demon Bull pressed its advantage, saying, "Besides, if you want to transform your bloodline, you can only rely on the True Dragon bloodline, and only the True Dragon Clan can provide it. You don't actually think Lu Tao can give it to you, do you?"
"Why not?" Lu Tao's clone asked, frowning.
"That Lu Tao is extremely stingy."
The Demon Bull sneered, "The major merchant guilds put up bounties for him and helped him collect so many rare cultivation techniques, but when they wanted to trade with Lu Tao for the True Dragon Bloodline, they were still rejected. Otherwise, why would these major merchant guilds agree to our bounty request?"
“He even refused the Chamber of Commerce that was supposed to help him. Do you think he would trade with you, Fellow Daoist Niu?” Demon Bull looked at Green Bull.
Lu Tao remained silent.
He was somewhat surprised that news of his refusal to allow the major chambers of commerce to trade for the true dragon bloodline had reached the ears of the Demon Bull.
However, he could understand.
The Chamber of Commerce emphasizes transactions.
The various races knew that he could create a true dragon race, and given the nature of the major merchant guilds, they would not fail to take the opportunity to trade for the true dragon bloodline with him. Upon inquiry, the major merchant guilds had no reason to hide it.
After a slight hesitation, Lu Tao's clone seemed to be persuaded and nodded, saying, "Alright, three portions then."
Before Ao Yu could breathe a sigh of relief, he continued, "However, we must have at least three divine medicines and king-level medicines that can enhance comprehension."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Ao Yu and the other god-kings couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.
This requirement is even more excessive than the true dragon bloodline at the Divine Lord level.
Enhancing comprehension is something all living beings need, and any such divine medicine that appears will inevitably be snatched up by many powerful individuals.
Even the God-King was eager to acquire it.
With such precious medicinal materials, how could there possibly be any left over?
Moreover, there are three plants.
That's simply impossible.
After explaining these things, Ao Yu said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Niu, it's not that we are unwilling to trade these divine medicines, it's just that we don't have them on hand. If you don't believe me, you can ask this Pavilion Master Miao. He is a branch pavilion master of Tianyu Pavilion. Ask him if a powerful organization like Tianyu Pavilion has such divine medicines on hand?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Tao's clone looked at the imposing young man beside Ao Yu.
The young man was Miao Xiujie, the branch master of Tianyu Pavilion in Longzhou. When he saw the blue ox looking over, he smiled and nodded, saying, "That's right. Herbs that can enhance comprehension are a thousand times more precious than herbs like the Mortal Transformation Grass and the Divine Transformation Grass. Any one of them will be used up quickly, and there will be no leftovers."
He paused, then continued, "In all these years, my Tianyu Pavilion has not had any such herbs left."
"But I heard that Lu Tao's Immortal Sect disciples can advance to the Heavenly God Perfection realm in a short period of time. Their ability to cultivate so quickly must be extraordinary..."
At this point, Lu Tao's clone suddenly paused, stopped speaking, and then fell into deep thought.
These words made Ao Yu and the other god-kings' hearts skip a beat.
The pangolin hurriedly said, "To advance from the first level of the Celestial God realm to the peak of the Celestial God realm in just two months seems fast, but in reality, we all know that even with the highest aptitude, it's very difficult to achieve such a feat, so..."
"I am certain that the disciples of the Immortal Sect are not necessarily highly gifted, but rather that they have a special cultivation method, possibly similar to some kind of demonic secret technique. Not only can they quickly comprehend it by sacrificing certain specific things, but they can also accelerate their cultivation speed."
"But the price of such a sacrifice is too high. It is inevitably related to lifespan, mind, fortune, and even the sacrifice of countless lives."
"Fellow Daoist Niu is making a grave mistake by placing his hopes for improving his comprehension on Lu Tao."
It must be said that the analysis of the pangolin is very reasonable.
But it was unaware of Lu Tao's abilities.
Lu Tao's clone hesitated and said, "But I heard that Lu Tao possesses a divine platform that can enhance comprehension."
The mountain-climbing mythical beast immediately shook its head and said, "That altar has been destroyed and cannot be restored at all."
"Although there are rumors that Lu Tao's merging of the three divine platforms might have unexpected effects, with 90% of the three divine platforms destroyed, any effect would be minimal."
The pangolin stroked its chin and pondered, "I suspect that the effect of the merging of the divine platform might be that the disciples of the Immortal Sect would sacrifice something of themselves to quickly cultivate the mixed-elemental cultivation technique that leans towards the demonic path."
"It is indeed very likely."
Demon Bull agreed with this guess, then looked at Green Bull and laughed, "Fellow Daoist Bull possesses the Domain of Destiny. Does Fellow Daoist Bull also want to sacrifice his own destiny like the disciples of the Immortal Sect? If so, Fellow Daoist Bull will probably never be able to cultivate to the God King realm in this lifetime."
"..."
Lu Tao's clone discovered that these god-kings were truly capable of making things up.
He seemed to be making a lot of sense, but in reality, it was all utter nonsense.
The pangolin and the demonic bull worked together to portray the real person as an evil demon.
If Yang Lin, who was at the Celestial God level, heard these words, he might really be frightened and give up on Lu Tao as an option.
Therefore.
After immersing himself in the role, Lu Tao hesitated for a moment before saying, "Alright then, since there are no herbs for that purpose, I won't force you. I'll ask for something else."
"Fellow Daoist Niu, please speak." Ao Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Tao's clone asked, "Could you give me a few divine artifacts for self-defense?"
Ao Yu's face stiffened immediately, and he shook his head, saying, "Fellow Daoist Niu also knows about our confrontation with Lu Tao, and is also aware of what happened in the Heavenly Transformation Forbidden Land. We are currently lacking Divine King Artifacts, and we really don't have any extra Divine King Artifacts to give to you."
"Alright, let's exchange some items based on the rules. I'll have a master craftsman forge them myself. Is that acceptable?"
"There is nothing wrong with that."
Ao Yu nodded and readily agreed.
Next.
The two sides continued to argue over the number of items that were subject to the rules.
Lu Tao's clone made an outrageous demand, asking for fifty items of the rules, which was naturally refused by Ao Yu.
at last.
After much haggling, the number of items in the rules was finally settled at twenty, plus a number of other materials for refining weapons and alchemy.
Three portions of true dragon bloodline at the Celestial God realm, plus twenty items of the rules, and several other materials.
These are the items Lu Tao obtained in this transaction.
And all of these were obtained for free.
