The mortal's candle dragon opens the sky

Chapter 147: High Five and Oath of Alliance
Xuyang sat calmly opposite the old man, and looked up in surprise when he heard what he said.

“Can it really be sold?”

The red-haired old man chuckled and said calmly, "It seems that the distinguished guest has discovered the extraordinary nature of the spiritual root. The original level of this spiritual root is not even inferior to the famous Star-Moon Flag in all realms. It is only because of the ancient war that it has fallen into this stillborn situation.

But even so, even if it has only evolved a small part of its origin, it is still one of the few treasures that can draw on the power of the stars. It is the best formation for setting up the Zhoutian Xingdou Formation, the Big Dipper Formation, and other immortal formations!"

As the head of the Merchant Alliance, Ming Zun always uses tricks to win, so he naturally won't belittle his treasures. Xuyang certainly won't believe it completely, so he smiled without comment and said calmly:

"I'm afraid it's not even halfway evolved, only a little over 20%! There are at least 80 of these spiritual roots that died halfway in our clan, and most of them are useless. Senior, why don't you just tell me what price you want to get this spiritual root."

"Your Excellency has even figured this out! Many formation masters of our alliance have studied this spiritual root for tens of thousands of years before they understood its origins! The True Dragon's magical power is indeed worthy of its reputation!"

The red-haired old man looked strange and sighed repeatedly. After thinking for a while, he said tentatively: "Your honored guest's name is Huo Lingzi, so he must be from the lineage of Yanlong! In this case, why bother to buy and sell? If you are willing to sign an ancient contract with our alliance, not only can we give you this spiritual root directly, but we are also willing to offer you a complete Xuantian treasure with fire attribute."

"Are you thinking about my body? Good fellow, I thought you were so enthusiastic, but it turns out you want to trick a young dragon like me into signing a contract to sell my body! If I sign the contract, if I encounter a strong enemy, you can summon me to take the blame, right? You are not a human being!"

Xu Yang was startled, remembering the original book's way of worshipping the true spirits, and he immediately became alert and shook his head and said:

"I don't know when I will be an adult. Right now, I can't help your alliance with anything. I won't accept anything without merit. And without the nod from the elders, I can't promise anything on behalf of the clan. Don't mention this matter again. Besides, don't you already have four Black Ni elders as your worshippers? If they join hands, they will be able to handle even the True Immortals from the Lower Realm!"

"It turns out that the nobles already know about the contract we signed with the four black beasts. But you are too modest. The ordinary True Immortals in the lower realms, facing the suppression of the interface laws, can't exert their strengths far comparable to the True Dragons and Phoenixes."

The old man nodded calmly, and then he remained silent for a long time before he spoke: "In this case, the honorable guest only needs to agree to one condition. There is no need to convince the elders. As one of the leaders of the Merchant Alliance, I can directly decide to give this spiritual root to you!"

"What conditions?"

Xuyang's eyes turned and his ears pricked up.

"The conditions are very simple. As long as you agree, after you have the strength of a true spirit, you can help our alliance once for free." Ming Zun let out a light breath and said word by word.

"No need to sign a contract or a demon oath?" Xuyang was stunned and immediately asked back. No, the Demon King was just driven away. As long as he does not go against his conscience, the demon oath cannot do anything to him.

"A verbal agreement will suffice. Our alliance trusts the credibility of the True Dragon." Ming Zun replied calmly without changing his expression.

"So Easy?"

No, when Xuyang's realm advances to the fusion level, the power of his physical essence will only become stronger. Coupled with the ability to activate the complete Xuantian treasure, it will be enough to rival or even surpass the average lower-level true spirit.

Xuyang had a look of disbelief on his face and raised his eyebrows. He couldn't help but observe the various gems on the walls of the hall with caution. Could there be some secret treasure containing the power of contract on them?
As long as you agree, the contract is instantly formed!

Those who cultivate the Nascent Soul stage, because of the difficulty of cultivation, have gone through countless battles, natural disasters, man-made calamities, and conspiracies before they gradually stood out and achieved the Mahayana.

Unlike these True Spirits, who were born noble, they could find a safe place, eat and sleep, and advance step by step, so most of them were pure and honest. When it came to plotting and calculating, they were not as good as these old Yinbi Mahayana in flattery. As for credibility, Xuyang himself never talked about credibility. When he was in the human world, he cared about his face, so he talked about demeanor with those human clans.

If it involves his own life, he doesn't mind being a deceiving dragon. If the Chamber of Commerce asks him to deal with Tian Feng, he will definitely take a look and turn around and leave.

In this regard, Ming Zun in front of him is an expert. With just his words, he deceived many powerful people in Fengyuan Continent and four true spirit black lion beasts to death, so that he could seek the True Soul Pill.

"Hahaha!"

Seeing Xuyang's expression, Mingzun laughed.

"If you are worried about this place, we can go to Building No. 1 and discuss it in front of Brother Fan. Besides, who in the nearby interface dares to deceive the True Dragon Clan?"

I don't dare to deceive you, isn't this bribery?

Xuyang lowered his head and thought for a long time, then raised his head and said very cautiously: "I can agree! But the conditions have to be slightly changed."

"How to change it? Tell me about it." Ming Zun asked without thinking, with a slight smile on his face.

Xuyang smiled slightly, straightened his chest, raised a finger, and said lightly:
“Not to mention overcoming the True Spirit Tribulation, at least you have to wait until my crystal core is fully mature before I can fight for you with all my strength. But the prerequisite is that the opponent cannot be a True Dragon or Phoenix, and cannot harm the interests of our clan and our allies! Otherwise, I can directly refuse and will not return the spiritual roots.”

"Is it 'you' instead of the Merchant Alliance?"

Ming Zun's expression changed, and he immediately asked, "Although I can't see through your body crystal core, there are several faint law fluctuations on your body, and you also have a companion spirit treasure, the Xuantian Soul-Slaying Sword. Obviously, you are not comparable to an ordinary five-clawed dragon. I don't doubt your strength after you grow up, but you have to tell me, how long do you expect it will take to achieve the body of a true dragon."

"Have you investigated all this?"

"It's the same with you. After you left yesterday, I contacted the head of the Merchant Alliance of Thunder Continent and roughly knew about the matter between you and the Jiaochi tribe! Didn't you also know about the secret offering contract signed by our alliance?"

Xuyang pondered for a moment, gave a relatively conservative time, and raised three fingers: "Within 30,000 years! No business can be done without a sharp edge. I've given you my spiritual roots, and I'll use the five elements crystal wall under the spiritual roots as a gift. How about that?"

"Okay! It's up to you!"

Ming Zun's smile faded and he raised one hand solemnly.

Xuyang also raised an arm and shook hands with him to swear an oath.

After a "pop" sound, both parties smiled and nodded with satisfaction.

Xuyang secretly swallowed his saliva, thinking that with a mineral vein that was larger than the Flame Dragon Crystal Wall, why would it take 30,000 years? With enough resources, he could replenish his origin in 3,000 years, or even 300 years!
