Tang Zhen showed no mercy and directly exposed the old man's plan.
No matter what the origin of this vicissitudes of life old man was, since the other party wanted to plot against him, Tang Zhen would not be polite at all.
It doesn't matter if he is used, it proves that he has enough value and can also be used as a condition of exchange.
But if the other party wants to take advantage and doesn't want to give benefits, then that's really too shameless.
Since the other party was like this, Tang Zhen was not in the mood to act with him.
Of course, the prerequisite for this is to thoroughly understand the other party's sinister intentions and then have enough courage to bargain with the other party.
Try to take the initiative as much as possible so as not to be led by others.
The two sides looked at each other, and after more than ten breaths of silence, the vicissitudes of life old man slowly spoke.
"It is true as you said, I wanted to kill the ancient lord, but due to some special reasons, I was not able to do so.
Several attempts were made during this period, but they were not successful, and now we have reached a critical juncture.
The ancient lord must be killed, and if you can do it, I would be willing to pay you to satisfy him."
The vicissitudes of the old man did not hide too much and told Tang Zhen his purpose. There was an irresolvable grudge between him and the ancient lord.
"You can first tell me what price you are willing to pay, and then I will think about it."
Tang Zhen behaved at this moment as if he was a businessman who was willing to pay every penny, and this was indeed the case in transactions between monks.
Especially between strangers and monks, there is no sense of friendship at all. Everything is the purest exchange of interests.
"If you can kill Lord Destiny, I can give you a hundred kilograms of golden bone marrow as a reward. Its value is immeasurable."
The reward offered by the vicissitudes of life old man is indeed quite attractive, and can even be said to be unbelievable.
Even a drop of the golden bone marrow of an ancient creature is enough to make the heart of a peak cultivator flutter, let alone weighing a hundred kilograms.
Even a respected monk cannot refuse such temptation and reward.
Just looking at Tang Zhen again, he didn't seem satisfied.
"These thousands of feet of ancient creature bones are kept in a fresh state, and the total amount of golden marrow is probably at least a hundred tons.
I helped you kill the ancient lord, but you couldn't even let me take a sip of the soup. Is this what you call sincerity?"
Tang Zhen chuckled, his disdainful expression became thicker, and he shook his head slightly and sighed.
"The price of a hundred pounds of golden bone marrow is sincere enough. I need to know that you are just accepting employment.
No matter how much wealth your target has, it has nothing to do with you.
If you want to participate in the competition, you may be able to get more loot, but you will face more dangers and competition.
At the same time, there is also a prerequisite, which is to be able to take wealth away from this world."
The old man said slowly, this was a warning to Tang Zhen.
No matter how rich and attractive the bounty is, it must be in your pocket and qualified to enjoy it.
"What you said makes some sense, but I do think you can set the reward more generously.
After all, besides me, you don’t seem to have a more suitable choice.”
Tang Zhen's tone was full of confidence. He believed that the other party had been observing him for a long time, and then he took the initiative to find him.
The main reason may be related to the rules and symbols.
As the maker of regular talismans, Tang Zhen is very aware of the power of this weapon, and it is definitely the best weapon for sneak attacks and assassinations.
The vicissitudes of the old man saw through the extraordinary nature of the rules and talismans, so he negotiated a deal with Tang Zhen, hoping that he could help hunt down the ancient lord.
To put it bluntly, he was using a blank check to recruit a helper for himself. If Tang Zhen was killed, the old man would definitely not lose anything.
His abacus was pretty good, but how could Tang Zhen fall into the trap? If the other party wanted him to take action, they had to give him enough benefits.
Tang Zhen thought of this and immediately made the conditions.
"There is no problem in letting me take action, but you have to pay me a hundred pounds of golden bone marrow first, and then give me ten times more after success.
If there really is a heritage from ancient creatures, I hope to be able to understand it. Whether it can be obtained depends entirely on God's will.
These are my conditions. If you can agree, we can sign a contract.
If you still want to bargain, then don’t waste time as soon as possible.”
After hearing Tang Zhen's conditions, the old man fell into silence.
"Are you sure your value is equivalent to a hundred pounds of golden bone marrow?
If you are perfunctory or timid, wouldn't I suffer a big loss?"
Tang Zhen laughed loudly after hearing this, looked at the vicissitudes of the old man and said: "You yourself said that if you can't kill the ancient lord, then I will die in this world sooner or later.
Moreover, you have threatened me before. After receiving the benefits, you may not be able to leave this world.
Both the ancient lord and you have the means to seal off this world, so how dare I just do it perfunctorily.
If you don't want to be killed by the ancient lord, you can only find a way to kill him.
I can get paid for cooperating with you and can leave this world safely. Isn't this the best choice?
If you choose to deal with this matter perfunctorily and eventually lead to the failure of the action, it is tantamount to harming yourself.
If there is no such trust, there is no need to continue the transaction between you and me."
The initiative in the transaction between the two parties is always in Tang Zhen's hands. If the old man refuses the conditions he proposed, the negotiation can be terminated immediately.
Tang Zhen had his own means of escaping from this world and would not be frightened by the vicissitudes of the old man's remarks. This also gave him enough confidence during negotiations.
The vicissitudes of life old man is different. Judging from his attitude and what he said before, you can tell that the situation is very urgent and there are not many choices at all.
This vicissitudes of life old man must have contacted more than one person, Tang Zhen, in order to increase the chance of success.
But Tang Zhen was certain that he definitely held considerable weight, and other monks simply could not compare with him.
It was precisely because of this that Tang Zhen dared to raise conditions, and his attitude was so decisive.
If the other party didn't agree, Tang Zhen wouldn't hesitate at all and would just turn around and leave.
Another reason is that Tang Zhen had planned to participate in this matter, and he might also use the rules and talismans at that time.
Now someone came to the door and was willing to reimburse Tang Zhen for his losses. This was naturally a good thing that he could only hope for.
After Tang Zhen made the request, both parties fell into silence again.
"Since you are so confident, how can I be reluctant to part with you?"
The old man sighed softly and finally accepted Tang Zhen's conditions.
Maybe this old man who has gone through vicissitudes of life really has his eye on the rules and talismans, or maybe he is confident.
Tang Zhen is just a chess piece of his. Even if he gets the golden bone marrow, he can't take him away from this world at all.
So no matter how much you give, it will still come back to you in the end, and it is impossible for Tang Zhen to get even half a point.
Tang Zhen could more or less guess what the vicissitudes of the old man was thinking.
No matter what the other party's plan is, as long as the golden bone marrow falls into Tang Zhen's hands, there will be no chance of handing it over.
With the existing golden bone marrow alone, Tang Zhen's trip was worthwhile and he could evacuate this world at any time.
But if there is a contract, Tang Zhen will definitely abide by the agreement and will never break his promise.
Leaving hastily will not only violate the contract and suffer backlash from the rules, but will also miss the opportunity to inherit the inheritance.
Since you are involved in this incident, and you have to detonate the rules talisman, you naturally have to maximize your benefits.
