Lin Xiuyuan paused, then calmly continued, "Since Fellow Daoist Chen also knows that I only managed to obtain the Netherworld Orchid thanks to my desperate counterattack, shouldn't I get a share? Aside from the reward, I'd like to take a single petal of the Netherworld Orchid, is that alright?"
If things had gone smoothly, even if he knew it was the Netherworld Orchid, he wouldn't have had too many thoughts about it. After all, such an item is not something he can use right now, nor is it something he can easily get his hands on.
But after several twists and turns, things have taken a turn for the better, and some thoughts that should have settled down immediately started to stir again.
If he hadn't intervened, Chen Xue would have had no chance with him at all. Now that she has regained the Netherworld Orchid, she should be able to increase the reward appropriately, and he probably won't refuse.
This is one of the main ingredients of the Yin-Yang Golden Elixir. This elixir can increase the chances of breaking through to the Golden Elixir stage by 40% to 50%, making it the most superior and top-tier breakthrough elixir.
They are extremely rare in the outside world; it can be said that even a single batch of these pills would be difficult to achieve in a thousand years!
Basically, if you miss this opportunity, you'll never have another chance.
Although the Golden Core stage is still quite far away, and we don't even know if we can reach that level, since we've encountered it, we should naturally make some preparations and plans for the future.
Upon hearing this, Chen Xue's expression immediately showed hesitation, and she said with some difficulty, "Fellow Daoist Lin, you also know that this trip was entirely due to the orders of the Golden Core Ancestor. It's not something I can decide on my own. I'm just afraid that the Ancestor will pursue the matter..."
This wasn't entirely Chen Xue's excuse; in truth, the Netherworld Orchid was entirely due to Lin Xiuyuan's efforts, otherwise she would have had no chance with it.
There are five petals in total, all of which can be used in medicine. It is quite reasonable that he only took one.
As long as she can bring the Netherworld Orchid back, she will definitely have a spot in the future Yin-Yang Golden Core competition; whether she gets one less or one more won't make a big difference.
The main issue is the attitude of the family patriarch, which is not something a mere prodigy like her can ignore or influence.
After all, a single piece of Netherworld Orchid has a certain probability of being used to refine a Yin-Yang Golden Core. For a family of cultivators, the significance and importance of having a Golden Core Ancestor is self-evident.
It can ensure the family's lineage for at least seven or eight hundred years!
Those in power within the family would not let this go easily.
Lin Xiuyuan clearly understood this as well, and said calmly, "That's true, but it's normal for the Netherworld Orchid to be missing a piece after changing hands several times. If Fellow Daoist Chen agrees, then I, Lin, will owe you a great favor!"
Chen Xue's expression shifted, and after a moment's thought, whether it was because of Lin Xiuyuan's earlier words or his later words, she finally nodded in agreement.
Chen Xue gave Lin Xiuyuan a deep look, then nodded and said, "Okay, just take one piece!"
Lin Xiuyuan couldn't help but smile, and then immediately pinched the teleportation token in his hand, and Chen Xue followed suit.
Instantly, a mysterious power surged from the teleportation token, gradually enveloping the two of them.
But the next moment, this mysterious power suddenly faded away, disappearing without a trace.
The two were stunned, a look of fear appearing in their eyes as they stared in disbelief at the shattered teleportation token in their hands!
