After a while, the fragrance of tea overflowed in the living room of the Monster Hall. Ye Shenyu took out the famous mustard that he had collected for hundreds of years and entertained the Taoist Qingzhong.
The girls were sitting around, and none of them dared to say anything casually, because they knew that this matter was very important, and it was far more rigorous than the deal worth hundreds of millions in business cooperation, and there was no room for mistakes.
However, although the girls were cautious, their faces were full of excitement. They were also full of curiosity about this ancient and mysterious thing.
In fact, the next thing is to discuss the relevant details of the soul contract. The basic bottom line of that thing is eternal, but there are many ups and downs in terms of scale.
To put it bluntly, the specific details will determine the superiority and inferiority relationship between the two.
This will be a balance. Between the two, it can be kept very flat, or it can be tilted infinitely to the other side.
But generally speaking, it is mainly tilted towards the alchemist. In ancient times, it was not a lie that the alchemist accepted some strong men as slaves.
Especially for those extremely powerful alchemists who are famous all over the world, more than half of the guardians around them are servants and subordinates.
That kind of strong people, except that they can get the elixirs they want from the alchemist, have basically no human rights. The alchemist will dispatch them at will. If their performance is not satisfactory, they will even be punished and killed!
This is a bit like a monarch, like a superior leader who controls a group of subordinates. Moreover, because they have signed a very unequal soul contract, such subordinates will not be able to violate the will of the alchemist until death. On weekdays, they are also careful
Serve, obey orders.
Usually, such strong men, in the eyes of the ancients, are not worthy of the so-called "protectors". People are more accustomed to calling them a somewhat frightening name - Danu!
In the era when cultivation was prevalent, in fact, even if they were not the top and most famous alchemists, most of them had their own Danu. It was just a matter of quantity. They could not compete with those Medicine Gods and Medicine Saints who were surrounded by tens of thousands of people at every turn.
Compared with the spectacular scene of the cluster.
People die for wealth and birds die for food. Even powerful monks may become Dannu in desperate situations. They may be curing some strange disease, perhaps extending their longevity, or perhaps praying for their loved ones.
Dan, wherever there are monks, there is a need. Danu may sound very humble, but it is not synonymous with weak. On the contrary, in ancient times, some Danu around many alchemy masters could make the elders of the Cultivation Sect say something when they went out.
fear…
In addition to the superiority relationship that is extremely tilted towards the alchemist, there are also many that are relatively balanced. The most common one is that the protector cannot harm the alchemist, but the alchemist cannot affect the life or death of the protector.
Such monks are often extremely powerful and have the confidence to negotiate with alchemists. It does not rule out that some extremely powerful people can obtain the courtesy that alchemists treat with respect, but they are only rare.
Ye Shenyu and Yang Di both knew that the Taoist Qingzhong in front of them was very strong. Basically, it was unlikely that they would sign a contract that was too favorable to Yang Di. At this time, some bargaining was naturally required.
"I wonder if the elder has any thoughts on this matter?" After a few cups of tea, Ye Shenyu began to take the matter seriously, while Yang Di listened carefully and followed suit.
It is impossible for him to recruit only one protector in the future, so he should know more about the things of ancient alchemists to avoid suffering a disadvantage.
Taoist Qingzhong also noticed that although the young man here was the alchemist, this white jade fox had a very high right to speak and could handle all matters on his behalf.
Therefore, the old Taoist was not contemptuous or arrogant. He thought for a while and responded seriously: "Little guy, since you are almost ready to refine golden elixirs, it means that your knowledge of alchemy has almost reached the level of a top senior alchemist, right?
"
"Yes." Yang Di nodded.
"Now I can't judge your future growth potential. Let's look at it from a compromise perspective. In ancient times, a monk of Lao Chen's level could sign a relatively balanced contract with a top senior alchemist."
"So, the main aspects of this contract are not to decide each other's life and death, freedom, and the little friend will provide the basic elixir for the old man, and the old man will do his best to deal with the threat!"
There are ambiguities in the words of the veteran. In fact, if the two parties sign a plain contract, those ambiguities cannot be effectively avoided.
For example, Yang Di provides basic elixirs to the old Taoist. This so-called "basis" also has great fluctuations in value. It is usually based on a compromise. If Yang Di is willing, he can also provide a higher level of satisfaction.
Of course, this also means that the contribution made by the veteran must make Yang Di feel that it is worth the effort.
On the contrary, if he is not willing, he can give less, or even not give at all. In that case, the contract between the two parties will exist in name only, and the old man will not be doing anything to help him.
For another example, Lao Dao will be responsible for protecting Yang Di's life in the future, but the intensity of the protection cannot be specified in the equality contract.
The simple explanation is that it is up to the veteran to decide how much strength he is willing to use. To put it bluntly, if he encounters a threat that he cannot handle, or the veteran refuses to take action, and Yang Di is allowed to be injured or killed, within the framework of the contract,
Guilty, it is reasonable. Of course, if this is the case, the old Taoist will no longer be able to get elixirs from Yang Di in the future.
The so-called equal contract, to a certain extent, only establishes a framework for cooperation. How to cooperate in practice depends entirely on the discretion of both parties. How much they are responsible for each other is a completely vague concept.
Those examples are extreme situations. Generally speaking, both parties will establish an equal contract, and the guardian will try their best to help. Only in this way can the alchemist be satisfied and provide better elixirs besides the basic ones, and the alchemist will also try his best to help.
The guardian provides good elixirs and asks them to do their best sincerely.
Now this Qingzhong Taoist wants to sign an equal contract with Yang Di. Considering his status and cultivation level, it is not too much.
However, after explaining his basic position, the old man said with a smile: "Those ancient rules are basically applicable in this world, but now is the Age of Dharma Ending, and there is a shortage of strong men in the monastic world. Please forgive me for bragging.
In theory, a monk of Lao Chan's level should be worth more than in ancient times, so Lao Chan takes the liberty to propose some necessary treasure pills as additional conditions to the equal contract!"
As soon as these words came out, Ye Shenyu and Yang Di changed their expressions slightly. They were indeed old guys who became famous very early. They were indeed old gingers and were not so easy to get rid of.
