Chapter 217: Gu Yuena Actually Doesn't Know How to Negotiate
Gu Han didn't directly answer the Silver Dragon King's question, but stood up with a lingering fear.
After pretending to breathe a sigh of relief, he spoke:
"First, the auspicious beast is still in our human hands. I have some understanding of destiny. As the embodiment of the destiny of soul beasts, the existence of the auspicious beast is of great importance.
If something happens to the auspicious beast, the soul beast clan will disappear within ten thousand years, and even cultivation will become a problem.
Second, as the senior said, you are half of the Dragon God, or even the child of the Dragon God. However, the current God Realm seems to have great restrictions on the soul beast clan's deification, almost prohibiting soul beasts from becoming gods. I guess I'm not wrong."
"Go on."
Gu Yuena was silent for a moment, motioning for Gu Han to continue.
"Thirdly, I see you're in very poor condition. If you take action, you'll undoubtedly be discovered by the Five Divine Kings of the God Realm. You'll then risk being imprisoned.
And my life is already deeply tied to the Spirit Hall. If you insist on keeping me here, I might be unable to resist.
But after that, the Spirit Hall will undoubtedly launch an all-out attack on the Star Dou Great Forest. When that happens, the soul beasts will face annihilation. Will you take action, or just stand by and watch?
If you take action, you'll undoubtedly be discovered by the Five Divine Kings. If you just stand by and watch, I don't think you're that kind of person."
Gu Yuena was silent for a long time, finally sighing.
"Alas, Gu Han, you're very smart. I certainly won't kill you."
While she didn't think the Spirit Hall would fight the soul beasts to the death for a once-in-a-millennium genius, she didn't dare gamble, couldn't afford it, and couldn't afford it.
Gu Yuena's tone softened slightly.
"But I still hope to cooperate with you. Listen carefully, I'm working with you, not with humans."
She emphasized that this was only with Gu Han and had nothing to do with humans.
Gu Han pondered for a moment and said:
"I still say the same thing. If you ask me to be your thug, I can't do it. As for other things, as long as they don't violate the interests of humans, I'll consider it."
He didn't refuse everything; he just stated the things he couldn't agree to.
Hearing this, Gu Yuena clenched her fist, wanting to punch Gu Han, but she held back.
"What do you want?"
"I've already said, I need two sets of 100,000-year soul bones, twelve pieces. Of course, if you can get more, I wouldn't mind."
"Hmph, that's good of you to think of. You carry the aura of the Ice and Snow Emperors. In the Far North, even Qian Daoliu wouldn't necessarily be a match for the Snow Emperor. They must have offered her to you, so you definitely have two soul bones.
I might have some theories as to why they chose you, but it doesn't matter to me.
You can take the soul bones, but on one condition, you do me a favor."
"What is it?"
"I can sense the powerful vitality in your cultivation method. I need your method."
Gu Yuena immediately asked for the cultivation method Gu Han was currently practicing. It was an evolution of the nameless method from its most basic form. Its recovery capabilities and quality were unparalleled.
Most importantly, it involved the dual cultivation of body and soul. While it wasn't known if soul beasts could practice it, they could also transform into humans.
Honestly, if someone close to him wanted it, Gu Han wouldn't be stingy. Just like Bibi Dong, who had also practiced his technique.
However, she couldn't master it, and could only enhance her vitality, but couldn't achieve the same level of skill as Gu Han. After all, a technique is a technique, and a person is a person. Just because someone possesses a technique doesn't guarantee mastery.
If possessing a technique truly could transform one into a peerless master, then everyone on Longhu Mountain, known as Under One Person, would be a master.
The same goes for his technique. While its harmony is high and accessible to almost anyone, being able to practice doesn't guarantee mastery.
It's possible they won't even reach the entry level; at best, their qi flow will be faster, and their physical fitness will be slightly better than an average person's.
However, after much detour, the other party finally revealed their true purpose.
The Silver Dragon King possesses god-level strength, and is among the most powerful.
Now seriously injured, relying solely on sleep or her own recovery speed is a long time in sight.
If one could cultivate a technique that rapidly restored vitality, perhaps recovery could be accelerated. Even if it was only slightly slow, it would still be better than nothing at all.
After all, for a god, time might not be a problem, but for the Silver Dragon King, she didn't want to wait that long.
She wanted to recover as quickly as possible, rescue the Golden Dragon King, resurrect the Dragon God, slay the Asura God, and restore the Dragon God era — a time when human gods and soul beast gods shared the world, allowing the soul beast clan to completely break free from the constraints of the world's rules and gain true freedom.
"You don't have to reply so quickly. You can choose six hundred thousand year soul bones now and leave. When you're willing to give me your technique, you can choose six more.
If my cultivation proves truly effective and can accelerate my cultivation, then I'll give you not just twelve pieces, but even a hundred or a thousand!!"
The history of the soul beast clan is far longer than that of humans. While cultivating for a hundred thousand years is incredibly difficult, the extended period of time means a significant accumulation of souls.
While not numerous, there are still some eight hundred soul beasts. However, most of these soul beasts perished one after another in the calamity following the Dragon God's fall.
While there are still quite a few soul beasts that have advanced to the hundred thousand year mark, the Dragon God's death severely damaged the soul beast clan's fortunes, making cultivating to the hundred thousand year mark incredibly difficult. Typically, a single soul bone will emerge from a clan, or even none at all.
However, she has collected a significant amount of soul bones since the Dragon God's fall.
As for why she collects them?
Is she just leaving them for humans to exploit?
The key point is that even if soul beasts are no longer needed, they can't be taken by humans and then used against them.
Gu Han's eyes dropped slightly. He could see that the Silver Dragon King didn't know how to negotiate, nor did she understand the concept of negotiation.
This was simply a gift to him. It was just a technique. Even if he gave it to her, regardless of whether she could practice it, even if she could, it wouldn't matter.
For Gu Han, it wouldn't have any impact.
His technique would evolve and improve as he grew stronger. In other words, he was giving the Silver Dragon King his current technique.
It would continue to evolve and improve through the Nameless Method, posing no threat to him.
After some thought, Gu Han agreed and passed on the technique.
He was a man of his word, and he didn't castrate him.
"What a unique spiritual cultivation method you have!"
The Silver Dragon King transformed into a silver-haired girl, sitting cross-legged on the ground, flipping through the technique Gu Han had written on the spot.
While she was amazed at the inner exploration aspect of Gu Han's technique, the cultivation of the Yang Spirit truly astonished her.
It was hard to imagine a mortal could come up with this technique. Even in the divine realm, this technique would be undeniably top-notch.
"But it seems difficult. I can't calm down at all."
Gu Yuena tried it and found that while the technique was easy to get started with, advancing further was incredibly difficult.
Especially the Yang Shen section. Even with her divine-level mental power, she couldn't even complete the first step, the inner concentration of the divine spirit.
But on a positive note, she discovered that the technique's only benefit was its close affinity with the laws of the world, as if they were one and the same. This naturally boosted her vitality.
At this rate, she might be fully recovered in about ten thousand years.
"Then, senior, can I go get the soul bone?"
Gu Han saw that Gu Yuena was reading intently. As for her doubts about the practice, Gu Han had annotated the details of each step and the method when he wrote it.
Moreover, Gu Yuena had just asked him many questions about the practice of this technique, and he had answered them one by one.
"Go ahead."
Gu Yuena was reading intently, no longer wanting to pay attention to Gu Han. At his question, she waved without even looking up.
Seeing this, Gu Han was also delighted, rising from the stone platform. However, before leaving, he still gave a reminder.
"Senior, don't forget what you promised me."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena paused, raised her head, and said:
"I understand. I will practice this technique alone. I still have some credibility. As for the auspicious beast, since it calls you daddy, you can take it with you.
But the auspicious beast must return to the Star Dou Great Forest once a year, and each trip must be at least a week."
"No problem," Gu Han nodded.
The matter of the auspicious beast was quite unexpected. He had never expected the Silver Dragon King to be so confident in leaving the auspicious beast in the human world.
After all, they had previously threatened them with the auspicious beast's life.
Such a big heart! No wonder they forgot their hatred for love during the Douluo III era.
Never mind. This was none of his business. Regardless, he hadn't lost out this time.
As for the other party's promise during the negotiations not to kill soul beasts indiscriminately, that was something the Spirit Hall had always restricted. It was nothing.
