Chapter 145 Notification and Transaction

When he saw the name on the notebook, Yao Lao's eyes slightly raised and a hint of interest flashed across his face. He had a premonition that he might have encountered something interesting.

Immediately, he took the letter handed to him by Lin Yuan and began to read it.

After Lin Yuan handed the letter to Yao Lao, he put away his serious expression and leisurely tasted the delicious food in front of him with Qing Lin.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan suppressed the doubts in his heart and enjoyed the food in front of him.

Time passes quietly.

Not long after, when the three of them finished their meal, Yao Lao had basically finished reading the book "Draft of Medicinal Dietology·Initial Chapter".

He closed the note in his hand and glanced at Xiao Yan who was sitting cross-legged. He was closing his eyes to digest the energy contained in the food he had just eaten.

Then, Yao Lao turned his gaze to Lin Yuan. He looked at Lin Yuan with an inexplicable look.

After a long while, Yao Lao sighed and said, "Tianshu boy, should I praise your courage and drive, or should I say that you are young and frivolous and do not know your limits? You combined cooking skills with alchemy to create a new branch of alchemy, medicinal dietology. You dared to think of it, dared to do it, and dared to come up with this."

"Senior, everything in the world is caused by people, isn't it?" Lin Yuan smiled calmly, "Then senior, in your opinion, is this idea feasible?"

Yao Lao stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, and nodded solemnly, "Although your idea is still immature, the planning is not thorough enough, and the difficulty is not small. But I have to say that in my opinion, it does have a certain degree of feasibility."

He paused, then changed the subject and reminded, "However, you need to understand that even if this matter succeeds, the benefits and impact it brings are not something you can easily control alone. This requires strong reputation, strength, and background to support it."

"After all, once such an undertaking succeeds, even if it cannot become the mainstream of the alchemy world, it will be enough to leave a strong and colorful mark in the history of the world. It is too enviable."

"Senior, what you said is absolutely right." Lin Yuan nodded. "Therefore, I plan to find a group of like-minded alchemists to jointly advance this matter. This way, not only can the progress of this matter be accelerated, but also the individual achievements can be transformed into the achievements of the group, sharing the risks and achievements."

Lin Yuan did not reveal his true thoughts - to use fame and fortune as temptation to get a group of outstanding alchemists to join him in forming a huge interest group and use them for his own purposes.

Upon hearing this, Yao Lao looked at Lin Yuan deeply and sighed, "Tianshu boy, I didn't expect that I underestimated you. I thought you were just acting on impulse, but I didn't expect that you already had far-reaching plans. You are willing to share this with me, you are really a young man."

"Senior Yao, are you interested in joining us? If it works, it will go down in history in the world of alchemy," Lin Yuan invited.

Upon hearing this, Yao Lao felt a little moved. It was indeed difficult to refuse such a chance to leave one's name in history.

But thinking of his current situation, he shook his head and said meaningfully: "Forget it. In my current state, I don't have the time to consider such things. If I ever recover, I'd be willing to help you if you invite me again."

"I also believe that you will be able to recover and regain your former glory as the continent's former number one alchemist. If you need me, I am willing to do my best to help you," said Lin Yuan.

"Thank you, my friend Tianshu. I have high hopes for you. If what you are planning can be accomplished, you will surely become a person who will go down in history."

Hearing Yao Lao's praise, Lin Yuan just waved his hand modestly and said lightly: "Senior, you are too kind. I am just trying to do something that people don't pay much attention to, or don't want to invest too much energy in."

Lin Yuan believes that he is not a pioneer in this field, but he should be the first person who dares to systematize and theorize this field.

This path may seem simple, but the effort and hard work required to turn it into a feasible path is beyond the imagination of outsiders.

After all, it takes a lot of time and energy to turn an idea into a feasible path. Alchemists have to balance alchemy and cultivation, so their time and energy are limited. Naturally, they don't have much time to spend on such things.

Even if it was Lin Yuan, if he had not created the shadow clone, he would most likely not intend to push this matter forward.

While the two were talking, Xiao Yan also absorbed the energy from the dishes.

He stood up and felt himself, with a flash of surprise in his eyes. This meal was worth several days of hard training.

So, he bowed to Lin Yuan and said, "Thank you, Brother Tianshu."

Lin Yuan waved his hand and chuckled, "Brother Xiao, you are too polite. It's just a small matter. You two must have come here today to make a deal and to inquire about the changes in the Yunlan Sect. Brother Xiao, I think you must have heard some rumors about the Yunlan Sect."

Xiao Yan nodded and said solemnly: "I heard some news that several elders of Yunlan Sect died recently."

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "As far as I know, this is true. Some time ago, three elders of the Yunlan Sect were killed by their enemies. They were the Great Elder Yun Leng, the Second Elder Yun Du, and the Fourth Elder Yun Sha."

"In addition, I also received a piece of news that Yunshan, the leader of Yunlan Sect, may have died by self-destruction."

“What?” Xiao Yan’s eyes narrowed upon hearing this, and he said in disbelief, “Yun Shan is dead? That Dou Zong Yun Shan?”

"Tianshu boy, please tell me about this in detail." Yao Lao said in a deep voice.

Lin Yuan shook his head and said, "I don't know the details, but I just received news that a Dou Zong-level battle broke out in the Magic Beast Mountain Range the day before yesterday. Afterwards, a shocking explosion was heard there, which was probably a Dou Zong-level self-detonation."

"How can you be sure it's Yunshan?"

"Because, before the self-destruction, someone heard the words 'Damn Yunlan enemy, I will never let you off even if I die, be buried here with me.'"

After hearing Lin Yuan's words, the scene fell into silence.

After several dozen seconds, Yao Lao asked, "The day before yesterday... huh? Tianshu, is this true? Does this have anything to do with you?"

Hearing this, Lin Yuan smiled lightly and said calmly: "I will personally confirm this matter. If it is true, Senior Yao, please regard it as related to me. Just regard it as me fulfilling the transaction condition of 'Yunshan will not appear in Yunlan Sect during the three-year agreement'."

"After all, I have already read the information on refining a perfect body, and there is no way I can return it."

After thinking for a while, Yao Lao nodded and said, "Okay, if you can confirm that Yunshan is dead, then our deal terms will be reached."

"Okay." Lin Yuan nodded. "This is the information I know so far that is useful to you two. Next, how about we continue the transaction? I am quite interested in the recipe of Rongling Pill that Brother Xiao got at the Alchemy Conference..."

"Brother Tianshu, you are actually interested in Rongling Pill?"

"Haha, I'm not interested in the Rongling Pill, but I'm interested in all soul-related pills."

"Why doesn't Brother Tianshu participate in this conference?"

"Would you go to a conference just for a Xuan-level fighting skill?" "Uh... no. Why do you ask, Brother Tianshu?"

"Because a volume of Xuan-level fighting skills is to you what a pill recipe is to me. Besides, if I participate, can you still win the championship?"

"Hahaha, Brother Tianshu is really rich and powerful..."

Afterwards, the three of them conducted another round of transactions on pill recipes and medicinal materials, and then Xiao Yan and Yao Lao said goodbye and left.

However, a few minutes after Xiao Yan and Yao Lao left.

Lin Yuan took the recipe for Rong Ling Dan, looked at the space in front of him, and said calmly: "Senior Yao, is there anything else?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the space in front of him fluctuated slightly, and a vague figure slowly emerged. It was Yao Lao.

Lin Yuan exclaimed: "Senior's soul clone technique is truly amazing." He paused and continued to ask: "But is there anything important that you want to tell me? You used your soul clone to bypass Brother Xiao. Can't you let him know about this?
Yao Lao didn't waste any more words and got straight to the point: "Tianshu boy, as you said a few days ago, there are indeed people from the Soul Palace active in the Jia Ma Empire."

Lin Yuan showed a surprised expression on his face, and then asked: "The Jia Ma Empire really has traces of them? How did you know?"

Yao Lao pondered for a moment and replied, "I have some special channels in this regard. But right now, this is not the point. The point is that when there are Soul Palace personnel around, there are some things that I can't do. Therefore, I want to entrust you with a task."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan said sternly, "Let's follow the transaction process. Senior, please tell me what the matter is first."

Yao Lao nodded and said seriously: "I want you to help me investigate the current situation of the Xiao family in Wutan City. Something happened there the day before yesterday, and I need to know the details. The results of the investigation need to be reported to me before the three-year agreement begins."

"We need to pay attention. There may be people from the Soul Palace active there."

Lin Yuan pretended to be clueless and asked, "As for the three-year agreement? It will be the day after tomorrow. Is this matter so urgent? Or does the Soul Palace have something in mind for Brother Xiao? Although I know Brother Xiao is extraordinary, how are the Soul Palace, Brother Xiao, and the Xiao family related?"

Yao Lao shook his head and did not answer directly: "I can't reveal these for the time being. But this matter is of great importance. If you have any conditions, you can propose them."

After hearing this, Lin Yuan paused for a moment and said, "Everyone has secrets. Since you said so, I won't ask any more questions. However, since the Soul Palace may be involved in this matter, my price will be higher. I want the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva."

"Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva?" Yao Lao heard this and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes. "It seems that you are collecting materials for the poison pill method. However, it is a pity that although this item is not expensive, it is indeed rare. I don't have Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva."

After Lin Yuan pondered for a moment, he said seriously, "I don't need the Bodhi Body Saliva right now. As long as you can hand it over to me within a year, it will be fine. I believe that with your influence, I should be able to get it within a year."

Yao Lao pondered for a moment, thinking that with Gu Xun'er backing him up, it shouldn't be a problem to get the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva. So he nodded and agreed, "If it's delivered within a year, I'll take it."

"Then, happy cooperation! Don't worry, senior, I will arrange it immediately. I will definitely deliver the news of the Xiao family to you before the three-year agreement."

"Thank you." After Yao Lao finished speaking, his soul clone gradually dissipated and returned to his original body.

Lin Yuan quietly watched Yao Lao's soul clone dissipate, his lips slightly raised, revealing a satisfied smile.

"In this way, the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva can be obtained for free. However, we still have to perform the play well. Let Hai Lao run a trip. With his speed and the Wind Travel Pill, it is more than enough for a round trip before the three-year agreement."

Thinking of this, he turned to Qinglin and said, "Qing'er, I'm going to go to Hai Lao's place. You make some preparations, and when I come back, we can go out for a walk together."

Afterwards, Lin Yuan sensed Hai Bodong's location and walked towards him.

Not long after, a chilling aura flew out from the Mittel family and rushed towards the direction of Wutan City.

After a while, Lin Yuan also walked out of the Mittel family with Qing Lin and headed towards the prosperous area of ​​the imperial capital.

"Sir, where are we going?"

"Um... Let's go to the headquarters of the Gama Empire's Alchemist Guild first. There is an alchemist trading area there. Recently, because of the Alchemy Conference, many alchemists have gathered here. Maybe we can encounter something interesting."

In the depths of the Warcraft Mountains, the forests are dense and cover the sky.

A huge pit, like a wound torn in the earth, was abruptly embedded in the heart of this primitive dense forest. This pit was the relic left after Yunshan's self-explosion.

Suddenly, an ominous black mist suddenly emerged from the void, floating above the pit like a ghost. It was the guardian Wu.

At this moment, the guardian Wu, who was shrouded in black fog, was emitting a creepy chill.

Prior to this, the guardian Wu had handed over all the members of the Xiao family, including Xiao Zhan, to the reception personnel in the palace. However, when he returned to the Yunlan Sect, he found that Yunshan had not returned. With a bad premonition, he came eagerly to find Yunshan's whereabouts.

However, when he arrived here, all he could see was this huge pit in front of him.

The guardian Wu hovered above the pit, trying to find any clues in the ruins that could prove that the pit was not caused by Yunshan's self-explosion.

However, no matter how he deceived himself, the strong aura of Yunshan's fighting spirit remaining in the pit was ruthlessly revealing the truth - this pit was formed after Yunshan's self-explosion, and Yunshan himself had turned into dust and dissipated between heaven and earth.

The guardian duck circled around the pit again and again, and each circle was accompanied by a cold and oppressive atmosphere, as if accumulating endless anger.

Finally, his angry voice roared out from the black fog and echoed in the surrounding area.

"Yunshan, you are a useless waste, a stupid fool."

"This guardian has poured so much resources into you, but you have accomplished nothing. You haven't even completed one thing for this guardian. Damn it, damn it..."

It was unknown how long it had been before the guardian Wu finally calmed down his anger and cooled down.

However, his eyes became more ferocious and his aura became colder.

He knew very well that Yunshan's death meant that the next plan to capture Yaochen's soul would be full of more risks.

"Yao Chen and his ant disciple will definitely go to Yunlan Sect to fulfill the so-called three-year agreement." Guardian Wu thought to himself, "Such a good opportunity only comes once, we must seize it. If we miss this opportunity, it will be even more difficult to find and capture Yao Chen's soul again."

"Does this tremendous achievement really need to be shared with others?"
