Chapter 971 The Cultivator Counterattacks
Chapter 971 The Cultivator Counterattacks
Negotiations with the dragon clan are a real ice-breaking journey, so the negotiations are difficult.
Although Shenglong Palace had come into contact with the dragon clan and many dragon forces before, this was the first time it had negotiated with a sub-dragon clan on an equal footing. It could not be said that it lacked experience, but rather that it had none at all.
The dragon clan is proud, even the sub-dragon clan; the opportunities to negotiate on an equal footing with the dragon clan may be few and far between in the entire Xuanlong Domain.
For the dragons, they are the masters of the Xuanlong Territory, so how can a master negotiate with a guest? Even for the weaker sub-dragons and Jiaolongs, asking for help is asking for help from their own kind.
Because of these traditions of the Dragon Clan, most of their external "cooperation" is of a commercial nature, with very few being political.
For example, the Qinglong Realm is almost entirely commercialized. You can do business in the Qinglong Realm and lease the land given by the Dragon Clan, but if you want to cooperate politically with the Dragon Clan, haha, you are not qualified!
Of course, there are also large forces that have "concessions" here in the Qinglong Realm, but these concessions are of a replacement nature. If you set up a concession in my home, I will set up one in your home. Only other "large domains" that are at the same level as the Xuanlong Domain, such as the Tianhe Domain and the Xuanyang Domain, are qualified to communicate with the dragon clan.
Inside the Xuanlong Domain dominated by the dragon clan, the attitude of the dragon clan can be roughly summarized as: You can only take what I give you, and you can't take what I don't give you!
Therefore, the Dragon Clan can have business cooperation with other clans, but political cooperation, sitting together to divide the cake, etc., basically forget it. I can divide the cake for you, even give you the best piece, but you can't divide the cake with me.
Previously, the Dragon Clan, the Sub-Dragon Clan, the Jiaolong Clan and other tribes had also cooperated with other tribes, but most of them stopped before political cooperation.
The Red Scaled Flood Dragon Clan was one of the few that would actively seek help from other clans. This was due to a series of coincidences.
In fact, after the first day of negotiations, Chu Fei also discovered that the Red Scaled Dragon Clan did not want to seek political cooperation at the beginning, but just wanted to use the Shenglong Palace as cannon fodder.
This is also the reason why Shenglong Hall was relatively negative about the negotiation position at the beginning. It should be said that there are still capable people in Shenglong Hall who made the right judgment at the first time.
It was only later that the Shenglong Palace won this precious opportunity with a series of victories. But the Red Scaled Flood Dragon Clan did not seem to want to give up easily.
As for Shenglong Hall, it has now laid its foundation and gained confidence with actual victory, and is quite tough in the negotiations.
Want business cooperation? Sorry, Shenglongdian said - our products and technologies are in short supply, so don't be too many people begging us to buy things. We don't lack business partners!
On the first day of communication, the two sides had a heated argument. Although it ended with a smile, both parties in the negotiation were still dissatisfied.
Under such circumstances, the communication between Shenglong Palace and the Red Scaled Dragon Clan cannot be rushed.
The total negotiation time on the first day was just over two hours. Excluding various formalities and wrangling, the actual negotiation time was only about 40 minutes, and it ended after a brief contact between the two parties.
There are actually about two hundred hours in a day here. After the negotiations, Chu Fei prepared to continue his retreat and practice.
Unexpectedly, a "dragon" appeared in front of Chu Fei at this moment.
The feathered serpent 'She Yu' coiled on Chu Fei's shoulder immediately flickered its tongue and glared at the front.
"Chu Fei!" Ye Lin, with a group of dragon friends, all maintained a two-meter-high combat body and stood in front of Chu Fei and his group.
"Ye Lin?" Chu Fei smiled. "What's the matter?"
Ye Lin's face was serious: "Let's fight again!"
Chu Fei smiled and said, "No fight. From the perspective of the battle, you are already dead."
The "young people" in the Shenglong Palace around burst into laughter; but the young generation of masters on the Dragon Clan's side looked at Chu Fei and others with serious expressions, with anger boiling in their hearts.
The tyrannical aura of so many powerful men was so rampant that the ground began to crack, and fragments collapsed and floated.
However, Chu Fei did not wait for everyone to speak, nor did he wait for Ye Lin to speak, and continued: "The battle between us is over, but we can still try to fight as individuals. But why should I fight?"
Chu Fei's words calmed everyone down.
The high-level officials of both sides had not left yet. After listening to Chu Fei's words, they nodded slightly. Chu Fei first separated himself from Shenglong Palace, and the subsequent battle would not affect the negotiations - that was the theory.
But if Chu Fei loses the battle, it will still affect the negotiations.
That's why Chu Fei put forward a condition. And Chu Fei's condition was obviously not satisfactory.
Ye Lin was not stupid. He immediately took out a small package, which was actually a space storage bag, of low quality. Ye Lin held up the storage bag and said:
"Inside are the scales and dragon horns that I transformed after my recent breakthrough. They are intact. The whole thing is at the intermediate level of a four-clawed golden dragon, which is equivalent to the materials of your 16.0 peak.
If such dragon scale armor were put up for auction, the starting price would be 30 million spirit stones.
If you win, this is yours."
Chu Fei sighed. Thirty million spirit stones is equivalent to the energy value of thirty million grams of energy crystals, which is equivalent to 300 billion yuan of Shenglong Palace currency. There is no doubt that this is a huge sum of money.
Chu Fei narrowed his eyes slightly: "If I fail, what do you want?"
Ye Lin: "I don't know what good things you have in Shenglong Palace. Just tell me something similar."
It seems that Ye Lin is still very sincere, at least he didn't ask for nano liquid gold.
Today was just a preliminary exchange. The Dragon Clan asked for nano-liquid gold, and Shenglong Temple Jiang Hong said yes, but the two sides had not yet discussed the price. So Chu Fei was still thinking that Ye Lin would ask for nano-liquid gold.
In short, Ye Lin's performance was indeed sincere, at least it seemed so.
But Chu Fei shook his head slightly, "Your conditions and dragon scales are indeed attractive. But unfortunately, I don't need them.
You know, I led everyone to victory this time, and I will get everything I want when I go back.
If I win the battle with you, it will just be an extra set of dragon scales, which is meaningless to me.
But if I lose the battle, not only will I have to pay more for the benefits, but the rewards that should have belonged to me will also be cancelled. My glory will also be taken away.
As for you, you have already failed once, so failing again is nothing. But if you succeed, you will be honored.
According to the previous battle, we are equally strong, but the dragon race has a strong foundation, so I am not sure if we can fight again.
Tell me, under this premise, why should I accept your challenge? "
Chu Fei's words were very clear. But it was precisely because he said it so clearly that Ye Lin felt a little embarrassed.
Yes, now Chu Fei can have everything as long as he stays alive. If he fails in the battle again, he will have nothing. Even if he wins the battle again, he will only get a set of dragon scales and dragon horns shed by a four-clawed golden dragon.
A complete set of dragon scales may be expensive, but does Chu Fei need it?
If Chu Fei was an individual without foundation, this would be an unimaginable fortune. But now Chu Fei has the support of Shenglong Palace, and as a force that has already begun to take shape, he really doesn't lack this.
Especially Chu Fei and Shenglong Palace’s unique training system and combat system, they don’t need dragon scales at all!
What you consider precious is just a decoration to others. Why should they fight?
Ye Lin was thinking.
Chu Fei chuckled, patted the feathered serpent coiled on his shoulder, and led the way forward.
Just when Chu Fei passed by Ye Lin, Ye Lin spoke again: "Don't you even have the courage to fight again?"
Chu Fei smiled. "No, this is not a question of courage, but of tolerance. Now we are facing pressure from Xianyun Palace, we should unite instead of confront. In this situation, your behavior is a bit immature."
Chu Fei became more and more impolite in his words, and suddenly walked forward with his hands behind his back.
The other young masters of Shenglong Hall laughed, and some of them waved to their former opponents. Regardless of whether they won or lost, they all walked forward with their heads held high.
Chu Fei was right. In this situation, Chu Fei's performance was not cowardice, but a kind of magnanimity. Especially under the premise that Chu Fei had already won, this performance could be fully publicized. When everyone saw it, they would say that the Dragon Clan could not afford to lose.
Seeing that the human was about to walk away, Ye Lin's face showed a struggle, and he suddenly yelled, "What if you put forward the conditions!"
Chu Fei: "Go home and sleep."
Ye Lin: “…”
Chu Fei's performance made Ye Lin even more angry, and he felt that he was being ignored.
Just then, Jiang Hong and his team of negotiators left the negotiation hall and said goodbye to the representatives of the Dragon Clan.
Ye Lin glanced at the representative of the Dragon Clan and suddenly shouted, "Chu Fei, if you accept the challenge, the second clause of the negotiation will be reached according to your opinion."
Although there were not many negotiations today, the general conditions have been put forward.
The second rule of Shenglong Palace is: if Shenglong Palace personnel on the side of the Red Scaled Dragon Clan commit a crime and need to be tried, a representative of Shenglong Palace must be present, and the Red Scaled Dragon Clan cannot judge unilaterally; similarly, the same applies to the Red Scaled Dragon Clan on the side of Shenglong Palace.
This condition seems equal, but this is the Red Scaled Flood Dragon Clan! The Dragon Clan is very proud!
In fact, this clause is somewhat overbearing. It means that the Shenglong Palace has inserted its hand into the judgment system of the Red Scaled Dragon Clan. This is unprecedented.
Chu Fei suddenly stopped and turned around, "You can decide? And as long as I accept the challenge, it doesn't matter what the result is?"
Ye Lin saw Chu Fei stop and turn around to speak, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "Only after victory. After all, only the winner is qualified to negotiate."
Chu Fei said "oh" and turned away.
Night Scale: ...
Why don't you play by the rules? Aren't you young people? Don't you have passion? You didn't behave like this in the previous battle! Why are humans so cowardly?
But seeing Chu Fei going further away, Ye Lin had to shout again, "Why don't you give me a condition?"
Chu Fei waved his hand from afar: "I'm tired today, let's talk about it tomorrow. I've already said, sleep today!"
Negotiations depend on who loses patience. Chu Fei is very clear that judging from the current situation, Shenglong Hall has already won.
As long as they can sign an equal treaty with the Dragon Clan and confirm equal political cooperation, Shenglong Palace will win. As for how much is included in the treaty, it doesn't matter.
Even though this treaty was small, allowing only one envoy from each side to be sent to each other, it was a great victory for Shenglong Palace.
On the contrary, if Chu Fei accepted a new challenge under this premise and failed again, haha, Chu Fei himself would not forgive himself.
On the other side, Jiang Hong smiled when he saw Chu Fei's refusal. He said goodbye to Lieyang Jinjue, one of the Eight Dragon Kings, again and left leisurely.
After all the humans left, Lieyang Jinjue looked at the dejected Yelin and snorted. But the old dragon king was also a silver coin, and immediately said to the golden dragons around him:
"If Chu Fei can't do it, then start with the people around him. That guy called Zhao Yonghe seems to be very active. You can find your previous opponents and try to provoke them.
As long as there is one human being who accepts the challenge, there is hope of opening up a gap.
Chu Fei is not short of money, but what about those who lost the battle? "
Ye Lin and other "dragons"' eyes lit up and they immediately dispersed.
Chu Fei and his group returned to their residence smoothly, and everyone started to chatter. Although today's negotiations were short, they were very refreshing. Everyone couldn't speak at the negotiation table, and they were all spectators. Now they were finally no longer suppressed.
This was the first formal diplomatic negotiation, not a commercial negotiation, that Shenglong Palace had entered the other world, and the result was a king bomb - an equal exchange with a branch of the dragon clan.
It's not that everyone thinks they are inferior to the dragon clan, but the general environment is like this, and Shenglong Palace sometimes has to go with the flow. Therefore, such a treaty can provide peace of mind internally, and more importantly, it can be displayed and promoted externally.
That is to say, in this situation, unless Ye Lin can provide greater benefits, Chu Fei will never accept the challenge.
Jiang Hong praised Chu Fei highly.
Back at the residence, Jiang Hong also reminded everyone not to wander around. At this critical moment, not making mistakes is the greatest victory.
However, although humans are excellent, the dragons are not stupid either. After a while, dragons came one after another to set up stalls around.
As one of the palaces of Lieyang Jinjue, this place is naturally not a desolate place. In the distance, you can see densely packed buildings and a large number of "pedestrians". Not far away, there is an alternative city.
This is a city composed of a large number of dragon people, dragons, etc. And a city itself has street vendors, but people didn't dare to come to the palace in the past.
Now with the permission of the dragon clan, street stalls are spreading rapidly here and it is bustling with activity.
In fact, the relationship between the dragon clan and dragon people is quite complicated. Some dragon people live alone, but some dragon people depend on the dragon clan to survive, forming a unique food chain system.
Dragon people can provide basic services to the dragon clan, and the dragon clan can provide protection to dragon people.
The dragon people who appeared here at the moment were such dragon people. The cultivation of these dragon people was not very high, and there were not many who could reach 14.0, but these dragon people brought an alternative "culture".
Snacks, gambling stones, materials, weapons, elixirs, etc. Although they are dragon people, they are also exposed to cultivation systems such as cultivation, totems, magic, and martial arts. Some dragon people have mastered some means of forging weapons, just like alternative dwarves, or mastered some unique weapons and medicinal materials.
In addition to the dragon people, there are also some flooded dragons, golden dragons, etc., as long as they can transform into combat forms, it will be fine.
Ye Lin appeared openly with a group of golden dragons, under the pretext of showing humans the culture of the dragon clan.
But unfortunately, the elites of Shenglong Palace were not stupid. They just watched from afar, silently appreciating the dragon culture.
We are all practitioners, and the youngest is over a hundred years old. Humans are a short-lived species, but they also have the advantage of being a short-lived species, that is, they understand society early and get rid of childishness.
Ye Lin and other golden dragons invited Chu Fei and others to go down and taste the delicious food, but now it seems that there is no effect.
More than seventy hours passed in the blink of an eye. According to the local time, it was already noon. The big sun was hanging high in the sky. A large number of dragon people and flooded dragons appeared in front of the palace. A complicated dragon cultural system appeared in front of Chu Fei and others.
After so many years of development, there are also modern businesses and groups here.
When there were enough dragon people, Ye Lin and other golden dragons came to the front of the palace again and began to "provoke".
In addition to Chu Fei, there were a large number of other defeated ones, and they also targeted the erratic guys like Zhao Yonghe. A large number of dragon people were around to support them.
Under the constant shouting of the dragon clan, some people's faces turned red, and they seemed to be unable to bear it anymore.
Seeing this scene, Chu Fei frowned.
Jiang Hong had no choice but to call Chu Fei and a hundred other elites to his presence and ask for their opinions.
Chu Fei was the first to speak, "Minister Jiang, the other party dared to provoke again, and must have made some preparations. More than 150 hours have passed since the last time.
Especially Ye Lin, who has already reached the peak of the Four-clawed Golden Dragon. I suspect that he has used some means to break through to the Great Perfection or the Half-step Five-clawed Golden Dragon in a short period of time. "
Jiang Hong nodded, "I know, the dragon clan is not stupid. Since they dare to provoke us again, they must have made full preparations. But we are different. We have nothing now.
But considering the dragon clan's current aggressiveness, the negotiations will be difficult to carry out without a fight.
Fuck, I didn't expect the dragons to be so unrefined. I thought they were so arrogant, but they are just old silver coins!"
Chu Fei's mouth twitched. He didn't expect that Jiang Hong, a seemingly upright senior, would start to complain. But it was true. The Dragon Clan's performance really seemed like they couldn't afford to lose.
Jiang Hong pondered for a while, and finally sighed, "Chu Fei, if you face Ye Lin again, how confident are you?"
Chu Fei smiled bitterly, "Senior Jiang, I am only at the 16.0 realm. I used the Shenglong Palace's benchmark software to test it, and it is approximately equivalent to the 16.4 realm. Using the benchmark software I built myself to test it, it is only at the 16.2 realm.
And Ye Lin must be at the realm of 17.9.
In the previous battle, I really tried my best and took advantage of Ye Lin's arrogance. If I do it again, the possibility of failure is very high."
The realm test of big data cultivation requires the use of benchmarking software. However, due to the different benchmarking software, the actual results are different. However, as long as the benchmarking software is not messed up, the difference is generally not big.
The benchmark software of Shenglong Temple is an old version, which does not have the ability to test the gravity core; when running the test, it is likely to misjudge the computing power of Chu Fei's gravity core. The benchmark software designed by Chu Fei can detect the gravity core.
But it’s not a big problem, Chu Fei’s cultivation level will not exceed 16.5 anyway.
Jiang Hong sighed and was speechless for a moment. Among so many "young people", the one with the strongest fighting power was Chu Fei, who was at level 16.0.
Looking at Zhao Yonghe and other "experts" who have reached the limit of 17.0 or even 17.9, Jiang Hong wanted to say something but could not say anything.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Hong said, "Everyone, please share your opinions."
Everyone started discussing it. Some said they would ignore it, while others said they should fight again.
Chu Fei didn't say anything, just listened quietly.
After discussing for a while, Jiang Hong clapped his hands gently and came to some conclusion.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Hong's deputy came over quickly and said, "Minister Jiang, Chi Yan Zuan Feng is here."
"What is he here for?"
Jiang Hong frowned, but still went out to greet Chi Yan Zuan Feng.
Chiyan Zuanfeng came hurriedly, bringing an unexpected news: the cultivators of the Chiyan District, that is, the Xianyun Palace, suddenly launched a new war, and the negotiations between the Red Scale Dragon Clan and the Shenglong Palace might have to be postponed.
Jiang Hong was very calm, his face was calm: "He is just a cultivator, how can he influence the noble dragon race? There are no true gods in Xianyun Palace now."
