Chapter 1005: Hitting Local Tyrants and Dividing the Fields
Because of Xianting, Ao Yu didn't need to worry about his own life, so it was difficult to link Ye Zan's ransom with his life. Even the so-called "freedom", could Yu Qingzong detain them in Tongtian Peak all the time? On the other side of Xianting, they are still waiting for the Dragon Clan to go to the outer world to contribute.
Life is not a problem, and freedom is not a problem, so can a prisoner still be a prisoner? In Ao Yu's view, the relationship between the Dragon Clan and Yu Qingzong was actually more like a transaction, and the ransom was more like a hush money. What the Dragon Clan needed was just to spend some "money" so that Emperor Yuqing would stop mentioning this matter, so that the Dragon Clan could save face.
"What Fellow Daoist said before is still a bit exaggerated. Although we were defeated by the Emperor, we don't need to use anything to redeem ourselves." After hesitating for a while, Ao Yu finally put forward his own different views , I want to use this to gain some initiative in the negotiations.
However, after hearing these words, Ye Zan shook his head again and again, then half-closed his eyes and said: "Friend Ao, although my sect can't really do anything to you because of the Immortal Court, but it can't change your body. For the fact that our sect is a prisoner. Yes, as long as Xianting speaks, our sect will not only save your lives, but even send you out of Yuqingzong. But the question is, when will Xianting speak?"
"This... Now that fellow Taoists have said so, then I don't have to deny it anymore. The time limit given by the Immortal Court to our family to go to the outer world has already been used up by Guizong. Therefore, even if the Immortal Court has no time Pay attention to us, I am afraid that in a few months at most, we will be urged to issue another decree. At that time, even if I don’t talk about anything with the noble clan, the noble clan will not be able to keep us.” Although Ao Yu said quite He was tough, but his face was still a bit embarrassed, after all, this was a naked fox pretending to be a tiger.
Although it is said that the dragon clan has been under the command of the fairy court since the ancient fairy court period, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the "hawk dogs" of the fairy court. However, the Dragon Clan has always believed that their relationship with Xianting should be like that of the imperial court and the vassal king. Therefore, my Dragon Clan can listen to your Immortal Court, but it does not mean that your Immortal Court is the master of my Dragon Clan.
Inside the Dragon Clan, there is a private saying that "the Immortal Court governs the sky, and the Dragon Clan governs the water", which means that both sides are equal. Of course, everyone knows that this "immortal court governs the sky, and the dragon clan governs the water" is actually just a consolation given by the dragon clan themselves.
But now, Ao Yu and the others are counting on Xianting to help solve their problems from life to freedom. With the arrogance of the Dragon Clan, especially the care about face, such an approach like a fox pretending to be a tiger's prestige is somewhat slap in the face.
"Oh, there are still a few months. Although it's not too long, it's not too short either!" Ye Zan nodded, and didn't say anything threatening.
However, Ao Yu was not stunned, and could still hear the hidden meaning from Ye Zan's words. In a few months, with the speed of information dissemination on the Internet, it is probably enough to completely ruin the reputation of the Dragon Clan.
"Fellow Daoist, don't get me wrong. I'm not using the fairy court to threaten fellow daoist. This matter should be discussed. I just think that the request put forward by fellow daoist is really difficult to satisfy, so I hope fellow daoist can be more practical. And , we are about to go to the outer world, and we also have a great need for top-grade magic weapons, and it is impossible to really give everything to meet the requirements of fellow Taoists." Ao Yu quickly added. It's not that he's afraid of what Ye Zanzhen will do, it's just that he sang with a bad face, and then sang with a red face.
"Hehe, there is some truth in what fellow Daoist said. This matter in the outer world is related to the future of this world. As a member of this world, we naturally cannot hold back on this matter. That's good Now, the previous request is taken for granted, how about we make a 50% discount on this amount?" Ye Zanyi said with a compassionate look. It's just that his last sentence completely ruined the previous image, and he still wanted the ultimate magic weapon.
The requirements for more than forty top-grade magic weapons were reduced by half in one fell swoop.
It sounds like Ye Zan is really sincere. But the problem is, even if the number is reduced by half, there are still more than twenty top-grade magic weapons. If Ye Zanti asked for 400 pieces at the beginning, wouldn't it be more sincere to only need 20 pieces now?
For things like discounting, you have to make a discount when the original price is not exaggerated to be considered a truly sincere discount. You directly mark a sky-high price, and if you make a 50% discount, it is still a sky-high price. Aren’t you fooling a fool with this discount?
Ao Yu is not a fool, but it is not easy to turn against Ye Zan, so he could only say with a wry smile: "Daoist friend, we came out of the cloud sea domain, and for the trip to the outer world, we have already used all the things that can increase our strength. Yes. This time we are fighting with the noble sect, can fellow Taoists see if we have so many top-grade magic weapons in our hands?"
Ao Yu's words are true, since he is going to the outer world, who doesn't arm himself to the strongest state before going? If you really have the ultimate magic weapon, whether to keep it in the treasury to accumulate dust, or to carry it with you to increase your strength, the choice is probably self-evident.
As for the battle between the Dragon Clan and Yu Qingzong, there were really very few who really produced the best magic weapon. Even with Ao Yu's identity, none of the few magic weapons that he has used before and after can be regarded as the best magic weapon. That dragon gate had played an important role, and once held the war fortress, but it was not a magic weapon itself, and was beheaded by Taoist Qinghong in the end.
Of course, the great powers of the Dragon Clan didn't come up with a few top-quality magic weapons in this battle, and it didn't mean that they really didn't have them. It's just that the use of a magic weapon depends on the needs, whether it is suitable for exerting the power of the magic weapon, no magic weapon can take everything.
And there is another point, Qinghong Daojun and others took action, all using sneak attacks to subdue those dragon clan powers. Therefore, even though some dragon clan powers have top-grade magic weapons, they haven't had time to use them at all. A magic weapon is not a spiritual treasure after all, if you don't use it, it won't do things for you by itself.
All in all, Ao Yu and the others, who are powerful dragons, probably have more than a dozen top-grade magic weapons on them. In other words, even if they don't consider going to the outer world and hand over all the top-quality magic weapons they can, it is still not enough for the amount Ye Zan requested.
However, Ye Zan didn't intend to embarrass Ao Yu wholeheartedly, and naturally it was impossible to really ask for something that the Dragon Clan could not do.
"Fellow Daoist Ao, I also know that these twenty top-grade magic weapons may still be a bit embarrassing for the Dragon Clan. The reason why I insist on this request is not because I really want the Dragon Clan to come up with so many top-quality magic weapons, but to set a price for the ransom." Come up with a standard." After discounting the requested quantity in half, Ye Zan further revealed to Ao Yu the intention of compromise.
"What do you mean by that, Fellow Daoist?" Ao Yu asked pretending to be puzzled. As for Ye Zan's meaning, he had already guessed something, but it still needs to be said by the other party. Moreover, if the words come out of the other party's mouth, he can further bargain on his side.
Ye Zan didn't care about Ao Yu's small thoughts, but followed the other party's inquiry and explained: "Most things in this world can be set a price, and the best magic weapon is no exception. Now that there is a price, you can It means that it can be replaced by other things, as long as the final price does not change."
"Fellow Daoist, what do you mean, if our family can't produce those top-grade magic weapons, we can use middle-grade or low-grade magic weapons to replace them?" Ao Yu stopped pretending and quickly expressed his guess. In fact, he mentioned before that the low-grade magic weapon was used to replace the top-grade magic weapon that Ye Zan requested. Anyway, there are many low-grade magic weapons in that treasure house.
"That's what it means, but it's up to our sect to decide what to replace it with. The low-grade magic weapons contained in the magic weapon of Fellow Daoist Ao are really not of much use to our sect. "Ye Zan knew what Ao Yu was thinking, and immediately blocked this point first.
Although, when fighting Ao Yu before, Ye Zan had taken the initiative to collect those low-grade magic weapons shot by the opponent. However, the reason why he did that was just to do it conveniently, not because he really valued those inferior magic weapons. Although, Yu Qingzong was not so rich that every disciple of his disciples had a magic weapon. But he didn't intend to waste this chance of beating local tyrants on obtaining those inferior magic weapons.
Although the low-grade magic weapon is also a magic weapon, compared with the top-grade magic weapon, the gap is not as simple as four grades. If the ultimate magic weapon is a piece of gold, then the low-grade magic weapon is like a grain of sand, no amount of sand can be exchanged for gold. Of course, there is still a question of demand here. If you really meet someone, you need a low-grade magic weapon, and you may really be able to get it in exchange.
The point is that it is not difficult to refine low-grade magic weapons, just like sand can be found everywhere, but top-grade magic weapons are too rare. It's like, everyone is in a place where there is sand everywhere. I grabbed a handful of sand from the ground and I want to exchange it for the gold in your hand. Who will agree?
"Then, fellow daoist, what should we use instead of the ultimate magic weapon?" Ao Yu felt at ease at this moment, as long as the other party didn't insist on the best magic weapon, then everything would be easy to talk about.
"Before talking about the specific conditions, let's make sure of one question, that is, in terms of pure value, do you agree with our request for 20 top-quality magic weapons?" Ye Zan was not in a hurry to mention his own needs. , but this standard must be set first.
"If it is equivalent to the value of twenty top-grade magic weapons, then I can agree with this request." Ao Yu nodded and made Ye Zan's words more clear.
"That's good!" Ye Zan saw Ao Yu nodding, and then continued: "Although I can understand the difficulties of fellow Taoists, I also agree to use other equivalents to replace the top-grade magic weapon as the dragon clan's treasure." The ransom for fellow daoists. However, I also hope that fellow daoists can understand that our sect cannot make endless concessions, so there must be a few top-grade magic weapons."
Ye Zan didn't have the good intentions to ask the Dragon Clan to replace all the top-grade magic weapons with other things. The reason why he talked about this alternative plan was only because he knew that the Dragon Clan could not meet the original requirements. He doesn't have much bargaining chips to control the Dragon Clan, and he doesn't want to really force the Dragon Clan to be unwilling to talk any more.
However, if it's just a few top-quality magic weapons, and Ye Zan's side is already "yielding again and again", it will not be easy for the Dragon Clan to turn the tables.
This is like telecom fraud. First, you will be tricked into paying taxes on bonuses, and then you will be tricked into paying handling fees. When you are asked to pay any money in the end, it will be more difficult for you to uncouple when you think of the money you have already paid. To use a more professional term, this is called increasing the cost of breaking up. Every time you pay money, it increases the cost of breaking up, and the less you want to break up.
The negotiation between Ye Zan and Ao Yu is also like this. Ao Yu's side gets discounts again and again, which is tantamount to passively increasing the cost of breaking up. When Ao Yu wants to flip the table, he has to think that he has already talked about this step, and has already lowered the ransom so much, so this flip of the table will be in vain.
At this time, Ao Yu heard that Ye Zan wanted the best magic weapon, but fortunately, the number of pieces had dropped from more than twenty to a few, so he no longer had the idea of firmly disagreeing. Moreover, with the wealth and power of the Dragon Clan, it is difficult to get out more than forty top-quality magic weapons, but a few top-quality magic weapons can still hold back the heartache.
"Okay, but at most five pieces!" Ao Yu was very straightforward this time, directly stating his own conditions. Although he also knows that the amount he said may still exceed the other party's expectations. However, the quantity of this ultimate magic weapon is small, and it needs to be replaced by other things, and it won't save much if you go back and forth.
"Five pieces?" Ye Zan thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Five top-grade magic weapons are not impossible, although my original plan should be ten pieces. However, since Ao Yu himself proposed it, I You can't help but give Fellow Daoist this face."
Hearing Ye Zan's words, Ao Yu couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth. He didn't know how much "mmp" was in his stomach, but he still couldn't swear.
But in any case, the number of this top-grade magic weapon has been decided, and the rest is not a big deal for the Dragon Clan. Ao Yu let out a long breath, suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and said, "Then thank you fellow daoist!"
"Haha, you don't have to be so polite, fellow daoist. Now I feel that Ao Yu and I really don't know each other." Ye Zan didn't care about the other party's insincere words, and the smile on his face became wider, and said: "The five top-grade magic weapons are settled, so let's talk about the number of top-grade magic weapons next."
"Fellow Daoist, please tell me." Ao Yu nodded and said, he didn't care as much about the top-grade magic weapon as before. Don't look at the top grade and the best grade, it seems that there is only one grade difference, but this difference in grade determines which is radish and which is ginseng.
"If it's fifty high-grade magic weapons, I wonder if Fellow Daoist Ao thinks it's suitable?" Ye Zan asked as if probing.
"Fifty high-grade magic weapons, how many top-grade magic weapons do you mean?" Ao Yu immediately asked.
"Haha, of course it is based on actual value." Ye Zan said with a smile.
