So much so that when Zhou Yang first saw him, he couldn't believe that the man in front of him was really the ruthless and decisive Patriarch Cao.
Although the original Cao Wenjin was as gray-haired as an old man in the sunset, his energy and energy were still at the level of the golden elixir stage, which made people dare not look down upon him.
But now, although his appearance has changed into that of a handsome young man, his aura and aura have plummeted to the Zifu realm.
Seize the house!
This was the first thought that came to Zhou Yang's mind after seeing Cao Wenjin's current appearance.
As a person who had survived the experience of a Jindan monk taking his body, Zhou Yang was naturally extremely disgusted with this behavior, so his expression changed drastically when he first saw Cao Wenjin's appearance.
At the same time, it was only at this time that he realized why Cao Wenjin still had no intention of quelling the chaos despite the turmoil outside.
The feeling now is not that he doesn't want to take action to calm the chaos, but that he no longer has the ability to calm the chaos!
Looking at Cao Wenjin's current appearance, it is obvious that even if he succeeds in seizing the body, he will not be able to return to the golden elixir level in a short time.
Even Zhou Yang doubted whether his remaining life span would be able to sustain him until he returned to the golden elixir stage.
After all, although taking the body can give the seriously injured Golden Core monk a chance to practice again, the longevity will not be increased by taking the body of a young and lively body, and it will not even reduce the longevity.
If Cao Wenjin had not suffered irreversible injuries to his body, he would definitely not have chosen the criticized and disgusted method of taking his body to extend his life.
If this news spreads, I am afraid that those family forces that are still wavering will immediately fall to Luo Yunqing and others.
"Although saying this may be hard for you to accept, I still have to say that if I hadn't been waiting for you to come back, I would have retired by now, instead of choosing such a repugnant and disgusting thing as seizing the body.
Way to continue to survive!"
Cao Wenjin looked at Zhou Yang, whose expression changed drastically, and said these words in a very calm tone, which made Zhou Yang frown.
Zhou Yang really couldn't accept his explanation. If he really accepted Cao Wenjin's explanation, wouldn't it mean that he was the "culprit" who caused Cao Wenjin to seize his body?
This joke is not funny at all!
He said in a muffled voice with an ugly face: "How can I, this junior, be so virtuous as to allow my senior to do this? Senior really has something to explain to this junior, and it's okay to leave a letter and give it to Senior Zhang and his wife, but why do you do this!"
"How can it be more sincere if someone else relays it to you and I personally explain it to you?"
Cao Wenjin shook his head, but he didn't agree with Zhou Yang's words. Then he waved his hand and said, "Well, let's not talk about this anymore, let's talk about business!"
After saying that, he looked solemn and looked at Zhou Yang seriously and asked: "Before we get down to business, I have a question for you. When you were in Xianyang City, you could obviously go to Xuanyang Immortal Sect with me.
You participated in Senior Qingyang's Nascent Soul Ceremony, but you didn't go in the end. Is it because Senior Qingyang had someone secretly pass on the decree to you?"
Cao Wenjin actually wanted to ask this question when he was in Xianyang City, but he held back and did not ask it later.
Because the matter involved Master Yuanying, if he rashly inquired about this matter, he would be suspected of offending a Master Yuanying, which was obviously not in line with Cao Wenjin's usual style of conduct.
But now that he is about to pass away, he no longer has so many scruples and worries.
When Zhou Yang heard that he was asking this now, his face was slightly startled, and then he seemed to understand something, nodded with a look of surprise on his face and said: "That's right, in Xianyang City, Senior Qingyang Zhenren
It is true that I was a guest in this junior’s cave, gave me two spiritual peaches, and told me that I don’t need to attend his grand Nascent Soul Ceremony.”
"What? Senior Master Qingyang personally went to the cave where you practice!"
Cao Wenjin looked shocked and couldn't help but exclaimed in a low voice.
Then his face lit up and he murmured to himself with a happy face: "This is better, this is better, this makes me feel more at ease!"
After finishing his words, he looked at Zhou Yang with twinkling eyes and asked: "Your cultivation is not far from the ninth level of foundation building now. I wonder what preparations you have made to open up the Zi Mansion?"
"That's not true. Senior, you also know the situation of the junior's family. If you want to open up the Zi Mansion, you can only rely on the junior's own efforts. The help that the family can provide is really limited." Zhou Yang shook his head and said simply.
"It's just as I thought."
Cao Wenjin nodded, and then suddenly said: "If I can provide you with the treasures to help you open the Zi Mansion, as well as the experience and experience of opening the Zi Mansion, and after you open the Zi Mansion, I will give you and your Zhou family a large oasis, and at the same time, provide you with a large oasis."
Are you willing to provide the [Hidden Spirit Incense] needed to go to the Immortal Realm of Liuyun Continent in exchange for your three promises?"
Zhou Yang was shocked by Cao Wenjin's words even though he had been mentally prepared.
With the previous answer, it was not surprising that Cao Wenjin was willing to provide treasures to help him open up the Zi Mansion, but later he said that he would give a large oasis to the Zhou family, which was enough to shock Zhou Yang.
That is a large oasis!
What does a large oasis represent?
It represents at least a fourth-level spiritual mountain, a land that can feed millions of mortals, and the foundation of a Zifu family!
Cao Wenjin originally said that he would give him a big gift, and he had all kinds of speculations and expectations about this gift, but he never expected that he would be willing to spend such a large sum of money!
However, when you are polite to others, you must ask for something.
After Zhou Yang was shocked, his expression changed for a while, but he did not answer Cao Wenjin's question immediately. Instead, he asked: "Senior, can you tell me in more detail, for example, what is the treasure you provided to open the Zifu? The large oasis you want to give to this junior.
Which oasis is it? And what are the three things you want the juniors to promise?"
Cao Wenjin didn't hide it, and replied immediately: "I still have a private collection of [Purple Heart Chalcedony] in my hand. This thing was originally reserved for my daughter, but now it seems that she does not have it."
What a blessing!”
"As for the large oasis I want to give you, you are also familiar with it. It is the Chihu Mountain oasis where you once stationed. Although it is not as populated as other large oasis, there is a fourth-level high-grade spiritual mountain and three third-level spiritual mountains.
, and there are three proven spiritual mineral veins on and near the oasis!"
Whoop whoosh!
Zhou Yang's breathing suddenly became much heavier, and the excitement in his eyes could not be concealed.
He had already seen the preciousness of "Purple Heart Chalcedony" in the immortal world of Liuyun Continent. Cao Wenjin was willing to give him this treasure originally prepared for his daughter Cao Qian, which shows his sincerity.
And the Chihu Mountain Oasis is even more incredible.
Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, large oases with sparsely populated areas and vast areas are not as good as oases like the Baisha River Oasis that have been developed by cultivators for hundreds of thousands of years.
But if Zhou Yang was given a choice, he would definitely choose Chihu Mountain Oasis.
The reason is very simple. With the land area of the Chihu Mountain Oasis, after the Zhou family moves there, both mortals and monks will not have to worry about insufficient food and insufficient spiritual mountains for hundreds of years.
If such a large oasis were owned by the Zhou family, the value of the various spiritual items it could produce each year alone would be ten to twenty thousand spiritual stones, or even more!
"And what's the price? What's the price?"
He suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked with rapid breathing.
The rewards are always equal to the efforts. Cao Wenjin gave him such great benefits, and what he was asked to do would definitely not be easy.
So if he doesn't ask this clearly, no matter how tempted he is, he won't dare to agree directly.
"The first promise is that you must promise me that in the future, no matter what level of cultivation you have reached, no matter how powerful your Zhou family is, you are not allowed to peek at and rob my Huangshamen's foundation, and you are not allowed to use any means including infiltration control, etc.
Find a way to gain the inheritance of my Huang Shamen!"
"The second promise, you must promise me that if my Huangshamen is in danger of being exterminated, you must do your best to help my Huangshamen tide over the crisis, even if you ask Senior Qingyang for help!"
"The third promise, you must promise me that if your cultivation reaches the golden elixir stage in the future, and my Huangshamen does not have a Golden elixir monk yet, you must find a copy of [Jade Liquid Gold] for me, Huangshamen.
Dan] or an auxiliary elixir-forming treasure with the same effect!"
Cao Wenjin looked at Zhou Yang with sharp eyes, and stated his three conditions in a deep voice.
After Zhou Yang heard these three conditions, there was no longer any surprise on his face, but a wry smile and a speechless expression.
Sure enough, although he had long expected that the benefits given by Cao Wenjin would be difficult to obtain, he still underestimated the difficulty of Cao Wenjin's conditions.
"Senior, these three conditions of yours are too harsh. The first condition is okay and I can agree to it unconditionally, but the second condition is too harsh. If I agree to this condition, it will be different from directly agreeing to join Huangshamen and become Huangshamen.
What’s the difference between monks?”
"There is also a third condition. As for the price of [Jade Liquid Golden Elixir], I think you, senior, know better than this junior. You gave the junior a copy of [Purple Heart Chalcedony], but you want to exchange for a [Jade Liquid Golden Elixir]."
, he’s really good at doing business!”
Zhou Yang smiled bitterly and shook his head. Although he did not refuse explicitly, the meaning in his words already showed his attitude.
If Cao Wenjin gave him a favor just to exchange for a few favors so that he could help Huang Shamen in times of crisis, then that would be fine.
But Cao Wenjin's current request is that he wants him to take care of Huang Shamen for the rest of his life, which is unreasonable.
Everyone can clearly tell the difference between taking action a few times and taking care of him for a lifetime!
"Then what do you want to do? What is the bottom line you think you can accept?"
Cao Wenjin narrowed his eyes, but he was not angry because of Zhou Yang's refusal. He just asked him what he thought.
