Chapter 1010: Here Are Some Dragon Skeletons
Separating the ransom from the compensation was also a strategy Ye Zan used during the negotiation. Although this would make the other party feel a little greedy, at least the previous ransom negotiation went smoothly. If Ye Zan counted everything together at the beginning of the conversation, unless he was willing to "suffer" on his side, it would be difficult to get the other party to agree to everything.
To put it bluntly, this is actually a routine similar to "telecom fraud". No scammer will ask you for millions as soon as they come up, and they will slowly come out with hundreds of thousands. You have already remitted hundreds of dollars to others. If you don’t remit the next thousand dollars, the previous money will be in vain.
Now, Ao Yu also has a similar feeling. He intends not to discuss compensation with Yu Qingzong, but the previous ransom has already been negotiated. Is it true that if you don't talk about it, don't talk about it?
When Ye Zan mentioned Lingdao, it wasn't just to show off, but it could be said to be a bait. After all, things like Lingdao still have a certain amount of temptation even for the Dragon Clan, who are not very vegetarian and have a small population.
Ao Yu took his own Thousand Miles Vivid, and skillfully searched for information about Lingdao. From the information he searched, he learned something that Ye Zan hadn't finished talking about. For example, the scope of development and application of Lingdao, and the classification of Lingdao's grades, etc., gave him a clearer understanding of this kind of thing.
If it is said that spiritual rice is only eaten by ordinary ascetics, such as those disciples who refine Qi and build a foundation. Perhaps, in the eyes of Ao Yu and the entire Dragon Clan, the value of this spiritual rice is really not that high. After all, the dragon race is not like the human race. Due to the problem of reproductive ability, there are not so many inferior juniors to be cultivated.
Don't look at the Dragon Clan monopolizing the Cloud Sea Territory, it seems that there is nothing that can restrict their reproduction. But to this day, the Dragon Clan in the Yunhai Territory is still called "thin population". Even if the heaven and earth were torn apart back then, the sea of clouds and seas gathered dragon clans from all water vein dragon palaces in the whole world.
In fact, this can be said to be a natural law. The stronger the existence, and the longer the existence, the reproductive ability will inevitably be restricted. This restriction is not purely from the environment, but from their own life form. Even if they have a comfortable living space and don't have to worry about war and food, it is difficult to change this essential problem.
Therefore, even before the collapse of the world, the dragon race claimed to be all over the rivers, lakes and seas of the world, but in fact the number of races was quite limited. A dragon palace is actually like a family, with a dragon king, a dragon mother, and a dragon son, this is already a very prosperous dragon family. In some dragon palaces, there is even only one dragon king, no partner and no children, at most they find some clam spirits and shark girls to wait on them.
Moreover, there is another characteristic of the Dragon Race, and I don't know if it should be said that the genes are unstable. Between them and the same race, they can give birth to different offspring such as Yazi and Baxia, let alone with other races. As a result, even though many of the birds and beasts in the world have dragon blood, it is absolutely difficult to become a real dragon.
After all,
It is that the life form of the dragon race is so advanced that it cannot be compared with the human race in terms of reproduction.
In fact, when it comes to the human race, ascetics on the human race side, as their self-cultivation continues to improve, their life forms can also be said to be constantly evolving. This also led to the fact that the higher the level of cultivation, the more difficult it is for people to leave offspring. The reason can be said to be the same as that of the dragon clan.
It's just that the human race is not born strong, nor is it born with such a high life form. Only in this way can the entire human race group, while being able to give birth to strong people, have not been delayed in multiplying and growing.
Speaking of dragons, due to the problem of reproductive ability, the number of dragons in the Yunhai domain is quite small. Not to mention that they are compared with the human race in the entire Shenhua domain, I am afraid that they can't even compare with the population of a county of the human race. And this has also led to the fact that they are not as terrifying as the human race in terms of cultivating their juniors, and it is still a low-level basic need.
Only when he saw that there are different grades of Lingdao, and what kind of effect the top-grade Lingdao has, Ao Yu became a little tempted for Lingdao.
"Okay, fellow daoist, tell me about this compensation, what kind of compensation do you want?" Ao Yu didn't mention Lingdao anymore, but asked about compensation as if resigned to his fate, in fact, he was already asking for compensation. Ye Zan expressed his attitude.
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Ao, although my sect did pay some price for self-protection, but it won't be so big as a lion to ask fellow Daoist how many top-quality magic weapons." "Intimate" gave the other party a word of comfort.
However, Ao Yu waved his hand, not appreciating Ye Zan's comfort, and said angrily, "Don't talk about this again, fellow Taoist, let's just say the request."
Ye Zan didn't care much about Ao Yu's attitude. Hearing this, he just smiled, nodded and said, "Since Fellow Daoist Ao has already said so, then I won't waste fellow Daoist's time. Regarding the compensation, my sect himself Yes, of course there is no need to ask for it from the Dragon Clan. Things that my clan can buy and exchange do not need to bother the Dragon Clan either. Therefore, if the Dragon Clan really wants compensation, then take what our clan doesn’t have, and get it from other places. It’s better if it doesn’t come.”
Ao Yu frowned, and couldn't help interjecting, "According to fellow Taoist, don't you still want the best magic weapon of our clan, or Dragon Ball?"
According to Ye Zan, there is no need to waste the opportunity to claim compensation from the Dragon Clan for the things Yu Qingzong owns and the things that can be bought or exchanged from others. From Ao Yu's point of view, there seems to be no other possibility except the ultimate magic weapon and dragon ball that can meet these conditions.
But the problem is that the two sides have already talked about the ultimate magic weapon and the Dragon Ball, and the Dragon Clan "can't produce" more. Now, Ye Zan mentioned this again. Could it be that he thought that if he changed the title, the Dragon Clan could come up with more top-quality magic weapons and dragon balls?
"Hehe, what are you talking about, fellow Daoist Ao, we have already agreed on the quantity of the top-grade magic weapon and dragon balls before. I also know that although the dragon clan has a great family and business, it is impossible to increase the number." Ye Zan shook his head and smiled, denying Ao Yu's guess.
At this moment, Ao Yu became curious. Although he was the one who was going to be slaughtered, he was still curious about which piece of flesh the other party wanted to cut off, so he couldn't help asking, "In this way, I am more and more confused. There is something that fellow daoists are so interested in."
The smile on Ye Zan's face grew wider, he looked Ao Yu's whole body up and down, touched his chin and said, "Fellow Daoist Ao, I want to say it, and please don't be offended by it. In fact, fellow Daoist has already agreed to it before." Regarding the Dragon Ball, then if I want a few more dragon bones, it shouldn't be too much."
Ao Yu's face was originally full of curiosity, but when he heard Ye Zan solve the mystery, his expression suddenly turned cloudy.
Of course, everyone knows that the dragon clan is full of treasures, such as dragon horns, dragon scales, dragon skin, dragon bones, dragon tendons, etc., each of which can be said to be a priceless treasure. This priceless, of course, is due to the deterrence of the dragon clan, but a large part of it is because it really has extremely high practical value.
But the question is, who would want to see the corpses of their own clan being used for this and that by others? There is a saying called "empathy", which can also be said to be "empathy". To put it bluntly, when one sees one's own kind and encounters some cruel things, one can't help but think of oneself.
Why do the vast majority of people not see the death of others?
Why do the vast majority of people, even if they kill their own kind by themselves, still feel quite strong psychological discomfort?
When you see a wound on someone you are familiar with, even though it is not on yourself, you still feel a chill rushing to the back of your head. You see on the Internet, when you fail to do some deadly moves on a skateboard, such as being stuck in the egg by the guardrail, you can't help but tighten your crotch across the computer.
There are exceptions, of course, there are always some people who are born criminals, and there is no emotional switch in the brain. But there are still a few exceptions, and the normal majority still have a "empathy" response to similar encounters.
On the human side, whether it is the world of science and technology or the current world of monasticism, desecrating corpses is regarded as a sin. It stands to reason that people are already dead, and the corpse is just a pile of rotten flesh, isn't it the same no matter how you fiddle with it? How can it be called blasphemy? In fact, this blasphemy is not really for the dead, but for the living. Playing with the corpses of the same kind at will is a desecration of the moral concepts of living people.
As for the dragon race, although there is a huge difference from the human race, not only in life form, but also in cultural customs. However, as the same advanced intelligent life, they also have the consciousness of empathy, and they also have the same respect for the corpses of their own race.
The Dragon Balls can be taken out, but after all, they cannot represent all of the Dragon Clan. To put it bluntly, Dragon Ball doesn't look like a dragon, so who would regard Dragon Ball as a dragon? But the dragon skeleton, the real corpse of the dragon clan, even if its value is not as precious as the dragon ball, it still retains the appearance of a dragon. There are many things, needless to say how advanced they are, simply put, they look the same, which makes it easier for people to feel empathy.
Therefore, on the side of the dragon clan, even those evil dragons who were convicted and executed, no one would be willing to spoil their corpses.
Of course, there is another important reason, that is, the Dragon Clan does not want others to know what the parts on their bodies can be used for. Who would want to go out and meet other people, and when others look at him, it's like looking at a treasure? Who would want that when others look at themselves, their eyes are like the knife used when eating roasted whole lamb, as if they are always thinking about where to cut the knife?
But now, Ye Zan blatantly made such a request, and Ao Yu just couldn't get angry.
"Fellow daoist, if I say now that I hope that fellow daoists can use some human corpses for various purposes, what will fellow daoist think? You must know, don't do to others what you don't want yourself to do to yourself!" Ao Yu Suppressing the anger in his heart, he turned to Ye Zan and asked.
"Hehe!" Of course Ye Zan understood what Ao Yu meant, but he didn't make it difficult for him. Instead, he laughed a few times and said lightly, "It depends on the situation."
In the world of science and technology, people with body donations are far more enlightened than this world in terms of disposing of corpses. Therefore, Ye Zan did not have the slightest obstacle in responding to Ao Yu's rhetorical question.
Oh shit! Don't you humans value the dead the most? Aren't your orthodox sects moral models? Ao Yu originally thought that this rhetorical question would embarrass Ye Zan, but he didn't expect the other party to give such a brazen answer.
"Fellow Daoist, don't you think your back hurts when you speak while standing?" Ao Yu said with an unhappy face.
"Hey, what fellow Daoist Ao is talking about, what is the reality at this time, don't I need to say more? Besides, there are some precedents for the dragon clan's handling of dragon bones, such as those who died in Xianting Dragon clan, where did the corpse go?" Although Ye Zan didn't provoke the other party in his tone, he still stated the facts unceremoniously.
The reality is so cruel. Although your Dragon Clan has all kinds of taboos, if you don't have enough strength to defend them, you will definitely be broken by others. In the fairy court, many evil dragons were cut in ancient times, and those dragon bones were "used to the best of their ability". If you are so firm, why don't you tell Xianting "Do not do to others what you don't want yourself to do to yourself"?
Ao Yu's face changed from blue to purple several times, and finally he regained his composure, and then sighed helplessly, and said, "Well, that's fine! Earlier, fellow Taoist asked me for the Dragon Ball, and I already agreed to it." Give you four dragon balls, then I will hand them over to you together with the dragon bones."
Those four dragon beads, according to Ao Yu, are the so-called "evil dragon" dragon beads, and the dragon skeletons naturally came out of them.
"Four dragon skeletons..." Ye Zan hesitated for a moment, and seemed a little dissatisfied, but looking at the expression on Ao Yu's face, he knew that it was impossible to squeeze out more, so he nodded and said, "Then still As Daoist Ao said, four dragon skeletons are four dragon skeletons. However, I have to make it clear in advance that there must be no defects in the dragon skeletons, and you can’t just send me four sets of dragon bones.”
The four dragon balls that Ao Yu promised were all left by the powerful dragon clan of the Tongtian level, so the four dragon bones are naturally the same. As for the dragon clan of the Tongtian level, unless someone deliberately destroys it, the corpse can basically be preserved for ten thousand years. Therefore, if there is no accident, the dragon skeletons sent by the dragon clan at that time should be the four dragon skeletons with all beards and tails, not just the skeleton.
A dragon skeleton with all beard and tail is more valuable than a simple keel! Even if the keel also has extremely high application value, no one should be unable to understand such a simple addition and subtraction. You get a dragon skeleton with all beard and tail, but it means that in addition to a set of keel, there are many other valuable parts such as dragon scales, dragon skin, and dragon tendons.
