Honghuang: Creation of the Green Lotus, the beginning of the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 80 Hongjun will bargain
"I wonder what Hongjun thinks. I have these two drops of Golden Crow's blood, plus the thirty-sixth-grade Azure Lotus of Creation. Can I make the Sun Star give birth to two more Golden Crows?"

If someone else had said this, Hongjun would probably have just laughed in his heart. But since these words came from Chen Xuan, Hongjun couldn't help but frown instantly.

Because Chen Xuan's thirty-sixth-grade Green Lotus of Creation does have the power to create countless living beings.

Even so, Hongjun still stubbornly said: "Tongtian and Yuanshi blew up the corpses of Dijun and Taiyi respectively."

"They have paid the price for their actions. If they continue to press them, it would be a bit unreasonable."

Chen Xuan also agreed with this, nodded and said: "Since fellow Daoist Hongjun has said so, this matter ends here."

"But a bet between the younger generations can't be repudiated just like that. You have to find a way to help them settle it."

"Don't forget, when you killed Luo Hou, Luo Hou swore a great oath. If you don't want them to be invaded by the inner demon, I don't have any objections."

As soon as Chen Xuan finished speaking, Di Jun hurriedly said to Hongjun: "Master, it was Tongtian who broke the agreement. He secretly used the Four Swords of Zhuxian, otherwise I might not have lost."

Hongjun glared at Dijun fiercely, then said to Chen Xuan, "Since the bet has been reached, we must act as agreed."

"However, there is one matter that requires the intervention of Nuwa, Daoist Fellow Qinglian's disciple. After all, she has obtained the innate spiritual treasure, the Red Hydrangea Ball, which is equivalent to accepting the mission bestowed upon her by Heaven."

"Of course, if she is willing to give up the Red Hydrangea, then the Triple Marriage of Heaven, Earth, and Man will no longer have anything to do with her. I can find someone else to take over her mission."

Chen Xuan nodded after hearing this. "Isn't it just to help this bird witness the wedding? Don't worry, I will let Nuwa go to Taiyin Star personally."

"After all, there is no marriage without a matchmaker. We can't let the marriage between the dignified Demon Emperor and the Demon Queen go unapproved by Heaven."

"But my disciple Nuwa has been running around to help you find your matchmaker. I wonder how much you're going to give as a thank you gift?"

Hongjun had long anticipated that Chen Xuan would ask for a favor from him. He immediately said, "I will give Nuwa three million Heavenly Dao Merits."

After hearing this, Chen Xuan shook his head and gave Hongjun a thumbs up. "One hundred million Heavenly Dao Merits, or lend Nuwa the Jade Disc of Creation for one Yuanhui."

Hearing Chen Xuan's exorbitant price, Hongjun's mouth twitched. He couldn't help but curse Chen Xuan in his heart for being despicable, asking for the Fortune Jade Disc every time he bargained.

But this time Hongjun also learned his lesson. After all, as the saying goes, every failure makes you wiser. No one always suffers losses and does not gain experience.

So Hongjun just shook his head at Chen Xuan.

"At most, five million Heavenly Dao Merits. As for the Jade Disc of Creation, it has already been integrated into the Heavenly Dao. Unless you can allow Nuwa to enter the Heavenly Dao and gain enlightenment."

Hearing Hongjun's answer, Chen Xuan was also somewhat shocked. He even said to himself in his heart.

"Hongjun, this old fellow, has learned his lesson and is now turning the tables on me. He knows I won't let Nuwa enter the Heavenly Dao, yet he brings this up to complain to me."

Looking at Hongjun, whose business acumen had improved, Chen Xuan smiled and shook his head, "Five million Heavenly Dao Merits are really too little."

"Or you can take 80 million Heavenly Dao Merits. Or let Nuwa enter the Heavenly Dao and comprehend the Jade Disc of Creation for 10,000 yuan."

Originally, he thought he had grasped Chen Xuan's weak spot. After all, Chen Xuan didn't dare to let Nuwa enter the Heavenly Dao to practice.

After all, when the time comes, it is hard to say whether Nuwa, who returns from the Heavenly Dao, will still be Chen Xuan’s apprentice.

But Hongjun never dreamed that Chen Xuan would actually dare to let Nuwa enter the Heavenly Dao to comprehend the Jade Disc of Creation. And the time was still 10,000 Yuanhui.

"No, there must be something wrong here. Wait, ten thousand epochs..." Hongjun finally understood. It turned out that he was being controlled by Chen Xuan again.

After all, Nuwa is about to start creating humans, and the emergence of the human race represents that the primitive times are truly getting on the right track.

But if Nuwa were to stay in the Heavenly Dao for ten thousand epochs at this critical moment, wouldn't the daylily be cold?

Knowing that he couldn't beat Chen Xuan in this regard, Hongjun simply raised the price to 10 million.

But the result was still Chen Xuan's rejection. However, he also lowered his own standards to 70 million Heavenly Dao Merits.

After several rounds of bargaining, they finally reached a consensus on 50 million Heavenly Dao Merit. However, Hongjun had to pay first, and Nuwa would do the work later.

In this regard, Hongjun was not worried that Nuwa would take the merits and not do anything. So without hesitation, he took out 50 million Heavenly Dao Merits and handed them directly to Nuwa.

"Fellow Daoist Qinglian, I have already given 50 million merits to Nuwa. I hope she can go to Taiyin Star as soon as possible to act as a matchmaker."

After finishing speaking, Hongjun was ready to take the four demon kings back to the demon heaven. But at this moment, Dijun spoke.

"Master, Kunpeng has been received into a gourd by my three corpses. Please let me release Kunpeng."

Hearing Di Jun's words, Hongjun couldn't help but frown again. Because he knew better than anyone that if he let Laozi release Kunpeng, he would have to spend merit.

But Hongjun also knew how much Kunpeng would contribute to the future of the demon race. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and speak to Laozi.

"Laozi, is what Di Jun said true?"

Laozi nodded without showing any weakness, "Di Jun is right, Kunpeng has indeed been received into the purple gold gourd by this junior."

"However, I didn't accept him for no reason. He was my enemy first and even attacked me from behind. I had no choice but to do it."

Even though Laozi spoke respectfully and regarded himself as a junior from beginning to end, he did not mention a single word that he was willing to let Kunpeng go.

He even emphasized a subjective issue, that is, Kunpeng was seeking death first. No wonder his father took action.

In desperation, Hongjun could only take out 10 million Heavenly Dao Merits to exchange with Laozi, asking Laozi to release Kunpeng.

Seeing that Chen Xuan didn't say anything, I understood that Master agreed.

Otherwise, his master would have spoken and bargained with Hongjun long ago.

He opened the lid of the purple gold gourd without hesitation.

Then he shook it and poured out Kunpeng, with only half of his body left.

He even muttered to himself, "Fortunately, I made it in time. Only the lower half of my body melted away. If I had been a little later, I would have completely turned into pus."

Hongjun was so angry that he gnashed his teeth and wished he could take action right now and beat Chen Xuan and Laozi to death.

In the end, he could only grit his teeth and take half of Kunpeng's body with him and the four demon kings back to the demon heaven.
