Xiao Chen took a sip of tea and put down the teacup. Then, he looked at Ding Yuan and asked, "Chief Manager Ding, are you a member of the Buddhist sect?"
"Not really. When I was young, I spent some time in a Buddhist sect. Now that I have returned to the secular world, I am just a businessman."
Ding Yuan's tone was calm, not showing much fluctuation in his emotions.
However, Xiao Chen did not care. For Ding Yuan to be able to cultivate to the late-stage Major Primal Core Realm in that Buddhist sect, he must have lived there for a long time.
Furthermore, his comprehension ability was very deep. Not just anyone could reach the late-stage Major Primal Core Realm.
Xiao Chen said, "Although you have returned to the secular world, I believe that Chief Manager Ding still has Buddha in your heart. Your heart toward Buddha has never changed."
A light flashed in Ding Yuan's eyes as he smiled without showing it. "Why do you say that?"
"Just based on the string of Buddhist prayer beads in Chief Manager Ding's hand, if not for his firm heart toward Buddha, how could he wipe it every night, sweeping away the dirt and dirt?"
"Your observation skills are pretty good. I was already used to wiping the Buddhist prayer beads every night when I was young. However, what exactly are you trying to say by telling me all this? There's no need to beat around the bush. Just say it directly. "
Ding Yuan also put down his teacup and looked at Xiao Chen, gesturing for him to speak.
Xiao Chen said with a serious expression, "The problem of trust that Chief Manager Ding mentioned is indeed a difficult one. I have met you no more than three times. You should not have a reason to trust me."
Ding Yuan nodded. "That's right. I cannot possibly take risks for someone I have only met a few times. If you go to the blessed land and steal secret manuals and do something disrespectful, I will definitely die. "
"In that case, I'll tell Chief Manager Ding now. You can rest assured."
Xiao Chen removed the Buddhist pendant on his chest. With a thought, the black lotus mark on his chest appeared.
The black lotus flowers formed a complicated and complicated Buddhist seal.
Ding Yuan's expression changed slightly as he muttered, "The Black Lotus Church's Black Lotus Holy Seal."
"Pu ci!"
The moment the black lotus mark appeared, Xiao Chen quickly made it disappear. Then, he put on the Buddhist pendant and suppressed it again.
"It looks like Chief Manager Ding recognizes this seal."
Ding Yuan showed a grave expression. As he looked at Xiao Chen, some doubt flashed in his eyes. "Naturally, I recognize the Black Lotus Holy Mark. The person who planted the Black Lotus Holy Mark will not be able to escape the pursuit of the Black Lotus Church."
"However, why are you being chased by the Black Lotus Church? Who did you offend?"
Xiao Chen said indifferently, "You don't have to worry about this. I entered the blessed land because there are seniors there who can protect me and help me escape the pursuit of the Black Lotus Church. "
"With this Black Lotus Seal, Steward Ding should be able to trust me. I will never do anything that will implicate Steward Ding."
Ding Yuan's eyes flickered as he said in a deep voice, "Alright, I'll believe you for the time being. But you have to tell me what you can pay me. "
Give what?
Xiao Chen definitely could not give him the golden Life Juice Source. The temptation was too great. The other party would definitely take the risk out of desperation, directly killing him and searching his body.
Xiao Chen was already targeted by a gray-clad late-stage Major Primal Core old man. He did not want to be targeted by this Ding Yuan as well.
However, the silver Life Juice Source did not seem to be enough to tempt the other party.
"If you want to tempt me, you will need to take out one million Medial Grade Spirit Jades or natural treasures or Profound Tools of equal value," Ding Yuan said unhurriedly.
Ding Yuan said unhurriedly. His appetite was very big.
Right now, Xiao Chen only had one million Medial Grade Spirit Jades at the very most. How could he give it all to Ding Yuan?
Fortunately, Xiao Chen had already thought of how to deal with this. Xiao Chen said indifferently, "I'll give you a promise."
"Hahaha! What a joke. What is the point of your promise?"
"Whoosh!"
Right after Xiao Chen spoke, his eyes released a golden light, and the Great Desolate Divine Eyes instantly appeared.
A fear that reached the depths of the soul spread out in Ding Yuan's mind. He felt immense pressure.
"Boom!"
The string of Buddhist prayer beads in Ding Yuan's hand gave off a bright light. At the crucial moment, a wall of light filled with scriptures appeared, blocking Xiao Chen's vision.
Ding Yuan gently pushed back, moving back several meters along with the stool he was sitting on, putting some distance between him and Xiao Chen.
Now, Ding Yuan had already taken out the Buddhist prayer beads in his hand and dangled them in his palm. Then, he slowly moved the beads with his thumb.
His body emitted layers of faint Buddhist Might, enveloping the entire room in layers of Buddhist Might.
After a while:
The wall of light vanished, and Xiao Chen's Great Desolate Divine Eyes vanished as well.
However, Ding Yuan had already put some distance between him and Xiao Chen, no longer getting so close.
In that instant earlier, Ding Yuan had already felt a threat to his life. Even if the other party's Great Desolate Eon bloodline was not in the top hundred, it was not far from it. Otherwise, how could the other party release such a piercing Great Desolate Divine Eyes?
In that instant, he almost lost control of his soul.
"I really misjudged you. What kind of Great Desolate Eon bloodline do you have?" Ding Yuan asked.
Right now, the Dragon Race only had six bloodlines. The Blue Dragon bloodline had been eliminated long ago.
Hence, Ding Yuan did not know what kind of bloodline Xiao Chen had. Ding Yuan vaguely felt that it was similar to the Dragon Race bloodline. However, none of the six bloodlines of the Dragon Race resembled Xiao Chen's bloodline.
Xiao Chen said calmly, "Everyone has their own secrets. Sorry, Chief Manager Ding."
Ding Yuan felt slightly stunned. Then, he smiled and said, "That's true. This is your secret, so I won't ask too much. Good. In that case, I'll accept your promise. I hope you won't disappoint me. "
The Divine Eyes opened, and the bloodline appeared.
Xiao Chen used the Blue Dragon bloodline to prove his value and potential. Ding Yuan thought about it for a while before accepting Xiao Chen's condition.
If Xiao Chen fell in the future, this condition would be worthless. However, if Xiao Chen became a Cloud Sea powerhouse or even higher, the value of this promise would be immeasurable.
The value of this promise was immeasurable.
It was the nature of merchants to take risks and gamble. This was especially so for Ding Yuan. Ding Yuan did not hesitate at all, agreeing to Xiao Chen's condition.
"Go back first and wait for my news. After I get through all my connections, I will send someone to inform you."
Xiao Chen stood up and said, "In that case, many thanks. This is my first visit. This is just a small token of my appreciation."
Leaving behind a jade bottle containing the silver Life Juice Source, Xiao Chen performed a cupped-fist salute and left.
After Xiao Chen left, Ding Yuan opened the bottle cap and saw what was inside. Ding Yuan revealed a smile on his face, feeling even more confident about Xiao Chen's future.
The last bit of doubt in Ding Yuan's heart vanished.
"Men! Contact the Profound Cloud Sect's Elder Liu!" Ding Yuan immediately took action.
…
In the following days:
The various preparations continued in an orderly fashion. The Black Cutlass's repairs and improvements were nearly complete.
After Luo Nan and Fei `er learned that they did not have to worry about not being able to enter the blessed land, they started to deal with the problems that might occur along the route.
He started to deal with the possible problems that might occur on the flight route, sitting and making predictions in advance.
Under Master Jin's command, Xiao Suo led the crew to help modify and upgrade the Black Cutlass.
Without needing to worry about the various miscellaneous matters, Xiao Chen continued to stabilize his cultivation.
He digested the various benefits that the Life Juice Source brought him. Vaguely, he felt that he had already touched the bottleneck of the Primal Core Realm.
In Xiao Chen's dantian, his Yang Essence Energy and Yin Essence Energy mixed with his Veritable Essence Energy, forming a perfect Taiji diagram.
That lifelike Taiji diagram was like a picturesque ink painting. It formed an unbreakable balance between the ten-thousand-year-old Baleful Yin Energy and the Heavenly Yang Pill, two kinds of incredibly berserk and horrifying energies.
In the past, when those disciples consumed the Heavenly Yang Pill, their bodies would definitely not explode and die.
The Yin and Yang energies in Xiao Chen's body were even more perfectly balanced than those of Primal Core cultivators.
There was no need to worry about Yin and Yang losing balance, chaotic energy, or an explosion.
The most important thing was that Xiao Chen's physical body had been continuously cleansed by the Life Juice Source. His physique was already as strong as a Major Primal Core Venerate's.
Even if Xiao Chen exploded, his bones would not shatter and he would not die on the spot. At most, he would faint and be severely injured.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Chen stayed in this Pirate Hall for a month.
After the Black Cutlass was completely remodeled, Xiao Chen thanked Master Jin. Then, he got his brothers, who had been busy for a long time, to go and rest first.
Xiao Chen went alone to the most mysterious room on the second floor of the Black Cutlass.
A strange formation plate floated quietly in the center of the sinister and sinister Immemorial Demon Soul Formation filled with evil Qi.
Xiao Chen discovered that one and a half pearls around the neck of the Great Desolate Eon ferocious beast, the Yazi Beast, were already lit up.
The difficulty of lighting up the pearls was even greater than Xiao Chen had imagined. The Cold Steel Eagles fed on the blood of ferocious beasts every day were still unable to satiate their appetite.
The main reason was that the Yazi Beast's appetite had become increasingly picky. After lighting up one pearl, a Minor Primal Core ferocious beast was of little use.
Even now, the pearls were useless. Only Major Primal Core ferocious beasts could continue to light up the pearls.
After leaving the Pirate Hall, Xiao Chen would meet the gray-clad old man from the Beast Governing Sect. While he did not fear this, Xiao Chen did not want anything unexpected to happen.
He needed to ensure that nothing went wrong and that everything was under his control.
Taking out a small knife, Xiao Chen made a small cut on his palm. A drop of blood slowly fell below the formation.
Before the blood landed in the formation, the entire Immemorial Demon Soul Formation started moving restlessly. A scarlet light spread out, and evil Qi filled the air.
An illusory Yazi Beast Demon Soul appeared in the blood mist. When it saw the blood falling, it smiled sinisterly, and a sinister look flashed in its eyes.
