Chapter 103: Negotiation
t he stopped them with a single hand.He looked at Jiang Wang, a smile on his face: "Jiang Qingyang certainly has the freedom to come and go..."Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!...Upon hearing Jiang Wang's "reasonable request," the old priest almost choked.
At least, thanks to years of cultivating inner energy, he didn't slap Jiang Wang flying with a single palm. He just said, "This is indeed not the case."

Jiang Wang blinked her eyes: "Being able to live twenty years longer would work."
The old woman looked up and down at Jiang Wang, as if she had discovered something: "No wonder you're so anxious about this. It turns out your lifespan has a deficiency."
As the leader of the "Saint Race," she chose to negotiate with Jiang Wang alone, of course not because she liked him.
...But that's because of two reasons. First, among the three envoys, Jiang Wang is the strongest and holds the most weight in her words. Second, judging by her keen eye for people, Jiang Wang has principles, bottom lines, and boundaries, and she's not someone who would make unreasonable demands.
Her judgment wasn't off.
Just here in the Qixing Lou secret realm is Jiang Wang, who, in order to make up for his own regrets, has gone all out.
He left the intense situation in Linzi and came to Qixing Lou alone. His purpose was very clear: he had to gain something. Otherwise, Chong Xuan Sheng's choice to single-handedly face Wang Yiwu would be a risk for nothing.
The elder priest weighed his words for a moment, then said: "Compared to you, our holy race is considered long-lived. If you consider accepting the Dragon God's baptism and becoming a member of our holy race, with your talent, extending your lifespan to a thousand years would be no problem. How about it After slaying Yan Xiao, I can personally perform the ceremony for you."
Of course, this is an irresistible temptation.
In this world, even powerful Divine Manifestation cultivators who break through the lifespan limit of mortals can only live for five hundred and eighteen years. As long as they join the Sacred Clan, their lifespan can be increased to a thousand years, living longer than Divine Manifestation cultivators!
For everything there is a season,
and a time for every purpose under the heaven.
With such a high lifespan, what do the Sea Saint Clan lose
Jiang Wang calmly asked, "If I join the Holy Clan, will I still be able to leave the Forest Sea Source Realm"
>
The priest shook his head with some regret. "My entire life as a member of the sacred clan has been dedicated to the Dragon God, my faith resides here, my service is performed here, and I will spend my final days here."
"This wouldn't be my choice," Jiang Wang said without hesitation.

Family and friends, love and hate, career and future, all exist in this world, in the places his feet have touched.
What's the point of living for a thousand years in this forest world if it means you'll just be left to wither away
However, in terms of lifespan, the Sea Clan's "Holy Race" although human by origin, is distinct. Judging solely on lifespan, calling them the "Holy Race" wouldn't be unreasonable. No wonder they are so proud; they indeed have reason to be.
But while the "Sacred Race" has a long lifespan, its flaws are also very obvious. They cannot leave the Sea of Origin Forest and cannot detach from divine favor. The flaws may not be limited to these two points, but these two points alone are unacceptable to Jiang Wang.
And judging from the Holy Warriors I've encountered so far, whether it be the Seven Trees, Eight Branches, or Nine Leaves, they might have lived for a hundred or two hundred years. But none of them have given me the feeling that I can't possibly defeat them. It's not necessarily that their talents are inferior, perhaps it has something to do with their way of growing up.
As for Jiang Wang's answer, the old priestess was apparently not surprised. She sighed: "Then there's no way. If you insist on seeking the longevity treasure, the only thing I can give you is some information about where to find it. And I can't be sure if this information is still reliable, and that place isn't in the Sea of Forest Origin Realm either. I can only guarantee the truthfulness of the information, which can be sworn upon at the altar."
That's an interesting point.

"This is hardly the same as nothing, is it"
"You can't say it like that, young man," the old woman said with a kind face. "Based on what I know, there are no longevity treasures in the Sea of Forest Origin. That is to say, if you come here only for longevity treasures, you will surely get nothing. Even if you spend your whole life and turn the entire Sea of Forest Origin upside down, you may not succeed. Now, I can give you some information, a glimmer of hope. For young people, choice is more important than effort. In the wrong direction, the result is often miles off. What you have gained now is a correct direction. Isn't that important"
That makes a lot of sense!
Jiang Wang was a bit dizzy from being nagged, but after thinking about it, he finally agreed.
Even if it's so far from his initial terms...
To leave the Moriyama realm, one couldn't avoid the Yanxiao clan. This was how things always went with the Saint Clan – giving favors or information. At least we still have this piece of intel, right

Perhaps there are other ways, such as seeking out other humans who might be lost in the various realms of the Source Forest and seeing if there are any other "gods" who could help them leave.
It is very possible that, as the "Holy Clan" speculated, they are already extinct. If they are indeed extinct, then Yan Xiao would be the only choice.
But even if it wasn't, the process wouldn't necessarily be easy. The hardships of traversing the Serpent's Veil were still fresh in their memory, who knows what horrors lurked in the Sea-Source Realm that could surpass the Falcon Owl
In short, for the Saint Clan, Yan Xiao is a deadly enemy who must be eliminated to achieve rebirth. To Jiang Wang and others, Yan Xiao is an obstacle that must be removed before they can return home.
Jiang Wang and they want to get some benefits, it's about scoring a win, not necessarily about how much harvest. Even if there is none, Yan Xiao can't ignore it.
It is precisely on this consensus that both sides have the basis for "negotiation."
“Apart from that, we want a powerful martial arts technique exclusive to your Saint Clan.” Jiang Wang opened the next round of negotiations with great responsibility and confidence: “As the saying goes, ‘polish your sword at the last moment, even if it’s not fast, it will still shine.’ This is also very beneficial for us in eliminating Yan Xiao.”
The old priestess nodded. "You make sense."
"But..." she pleaded earnestly: "The extraordinary powers of the Holy Clan rely on divine favor. Unless you accept the Dragon God's baptism, there is no way to learn them. As for the one who wants the martial arts techniques, are you willing to join my Holy Clan If not... instead of grasping at the moon in water, it's better to turn back and pick the flowers..."
Jiang Wang had exhausted all his life's bargaining skills, speaking with a torrent of words. He believed he was performing beyond expectations. But the old priest remained calm and collected, patiently guiding him, appearing kind and approachable, as if everything could be easily resolved.

By the end of this "negotiation," Jiang Wang stared blankly, while the old priest's spirits soared.

Jiang Wang clutched the "result" and felt that she had indeed gained something, not wasting her words.
But thinking about it carefully, it seems like I haven't gained anything...
Jiang Wangfang's requirements: An unparalleled divine skill, a map marking all treasures in the Senhai Origin Realm, and a heavenly treasure that extends life by a hundred years.
"Negotiation results: A common martial arts technique of the Saint Clan, A map of the Forest Sea Origin Realm explored by the Saint Clan, And information about the location of a longevity artifact, but it is not in the Forest Sea Origin Realm and may not even be reliable. "
In Jiang Wang's fruit shop, three "Dragon God Messengers" sat cross-legged.
"Ahem." Jiang Wang coughed awkwardly, "Let's all take a look and see if you're satisfied."
“You guys take a look,” Wu quickly said, “Is there some kind of reading I’m missing with this peerless divine skill This seems like a climbing technique!”
This martial art allows practitioners to adapt to the forest environment and fight with ease in the trees. While calling it "tree-climbing skills" might be a bit of an exaggeration, it's not entirely inaccurate.
Su Chi gave Jiang Wang a resentful look: "The treasure map has turned into a map..."
It’s hard for him to say that Jiang Wang wasn't working hard. After all, judging by the current situation, the most useful thing among their three harvests was that map.
Jiang Wang blushed and covered her face, saying, "I did my best."
The information regarding the elixir of longevity was imprinted on the priest's arm with a special technique, and it would take effect only after leaving the Forest Sea Origin Realm.
