lín xuān xiào le :“ ruò shì yì dì ér chǔ , dào yǒu yuàn yì me ?”
林轩笑了:“若是易地而处,道友愿意么?”
Lin Xuan smiled. "If we were to switch places, would Daoist friend be willing?"
“ nà nǐ yì yù rú hé ?”
“那你意yù如何?”
"Then what is your intention?"
sū yún fēng de liǎn shàng shǎn guò yī sī fèn nù , tiān wài mó tóu bǐ gǔ mó hái yào xiōng cán hào dòu , nài xīn běn jiù bù duō , tā suī bù yuàn yì yǔ lín xuān pīn gè nǐ sǐ wǒ huó , dàn zài zhè zhǒng tǎo jià huán jià de qíng kuàng xià , nài xīn yǐ yào bèi xiāo mó dài jìn le a !
苏云峰的脸上闪过一丝愤怒,天外魔头比古魔还要凶残好斗,耐心本就不多,他虽不愿意与林轩拼个你死我活,但在这种讨价还价的情况下,耐心已要被消磨殆尽了啊!
Anger flashed across Su Yunfeng's face. The demon from beyond the heavens was more vicious and combative than the ancient demons. His patience was limited. Although he didn't want to fight Lin Xuan to the death, under these circumstances, his patience was about to be completely worn down.
guān jiàn shì , shuāng fāng yì diǎn xìn rèn yě méi yǒu , zhè yàng xià qù , gēn běn jiù kàn bú jiàn yī sī dá chéng xié yì de xī wàng , yǔ qí zài zhè lǐ zuò wú yòng gōng , bù rú dòng shǒu 。
关键是,双方一点信任也没有,这样下去,根本就看不见一丝达成协议的希望,与其在这里做无用功,不如动手。
The key issue was that there was no trust between them. If this continued, they wouldn’t see any hope of reaching an agreement. It would be better to act rather than do something futile.
suī rán zhè xiǎo zi shén tōng bù ruò , dàn guī gēn jié dǐ , yě zhǐ shì fēn shén chū qī , sū yún fēng yǒu jué duì bǎ wò jiāng tā ná xià dì , suī rán duō shǎo huì fù chū yī xiē dài jià , dàn yǔ huò dé fán rén shèng tǐ de hǎo chù xiāng bǐ , zé yòu bù zhí yī tí 。
虽然这小子神通不弱,但归根结底,也只是分神初期,苏云峰有绝对把握将他拿下地,虽然多少会付出一些代价,但与获得凡人圣体的好处相比,则又不值一提。
Thinking of this, a fierce light appeared in his eyes as the demon aura surged and contracted. Clearly, he was ready to make a move if words failed.
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ , tā de yǎn zhōng xiōng máng sì shè , hún shēn de mó qì yě yī zhǎng yī suō , xiǎn rán yī yán bù hé , jiù yào zhǔn bèi dòng shǒu 。
想到这里,他的眼中凶芒四射,浑身的魔气也一涨一缩,显然一言不合,就要准备动手。
However, at that moment, Lin Xuan's voice reached his ears: "Why are you in such a hurry? My conditions have not been fully stated yet. If you agree, I can give up this body. Of course, if Daoist friend insists on refusing, then I will fight to the death and never yield."
rán ér jiù zài cǐ kè , lín xuān de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ :“ gé xià huāng shén me , lín mǒu de tiáo jiàn hái méi yǒu shuō wán , nǐ ruò shì dā yìng le , wǒ fàng qì zhè jù ròu qū , yě wú bù kě , dāng rán , gé xià ruò shì zhí yì bù kěn , lín mǒu nìng kě yī zhàn , yě jué bú huì qū fú 。”
然而就在此刻,林轩的声音传入耳朵:“阁下慌什么,林某的条件还没有说完,你若是答应了,我放弃这具肉躯,也无不可,当然,阁下若是执意不肯,林某宁可一战,也绝不会屈服。”
"Oh, Daoist..."
“ ó , dào ”
“哦,道”
The demon from beyond the heavens was delighted upon hearing this. As long as he agreed to hand over the mortal holy body, everything could be discussed.
tiān wài mó tóu tīng le , què bù nù fǎn xǐ , duì fāng zhǐ yǒu dā yìng jiāo chū fán rén shèng tǐ , nà zì rán shì yī qiè dōu hǎo tán dì 。
天外魔头听了,却不怒反喜,对方只有答应交出凡人圣体,那自然是一切都好谈地。
"Firstly, you must take an oath with your own heart demon. But it cannot just be a regular oath; it must be something that can't be easily brushed off."
“ shǒu xiān , gé xià yào fā xià yí gè dú shì , dàn què bú shì pǔ tōng de dú shì , bù néng gòu yìng fù liǎo shì 。”
“首先,阁下要发下一个毒誓,但却不是普通的毒誓,不能够应付了事。”
"There's no problem. How should I swear according to Daoist friend's wishes?" Su Yunfeng's voice was filled with surprise as he seemed to see hope.
“ zhè méi yǒu wèn tí , yī dào yǒu zhī yì , wǒ yīng gāi zěn me fā shì ?” sū yún fēng lüè dài jīng xǐ de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ tā sì hū kàn jiàn jiě jué wèn tí de xī wàng le 。
“这没有问题,依道友之意,我应该怎么发誓?”苏云峰略带惊喜的声音传入耳朵他似乎看见解决问题的希望了。
"You must take an oath with your own heart demon, and Lin Xuan will give up this body. You must release myinfant spirits (yinling). If you violate this oath, you will never be able to evolve into a demon from beyond the heavens."
“ gé xià yǐ zì jǐ de xīn mó fā shì , lín mǒu fàng qì zì jǐ de ròu qū , nǐ bì xū jiāng wǒ yuán yīng fàng guò , ruò wéi cǐ shì , jiāng yǒng yuǎn wú fǎ jìn huà chéng yù wài tiān mó 。”
“阁下以自己的心魔发誓,林某放弃自己的肉躯,你必须将我元婴放过,若违此誓,将永远无法进化成域外天魔。”
"There's no problem."
“ zhè méi yǒu wèn tí 。”
“这没有问题。”
Su Yunfeng chuckled inwardly. The so-called demon from beyond the heavens was originally just a demonic thought—heart demons during cultivation advancement for cultivators. In other words, he himself was the heart demon, and letting him swear on his own heart demon would be a laughingstock.
sū yún fēng xīn zhōng qiè xiào bù yǐ , suǒ wèi de tiān wài mó tóu yuán běn jiù shì yī dào mó niàn , xiū shì jìn jiē shí hòu de xīn mó , zhǐ de jiù shì tā men le 。
苏云峰心中窃笑不已,所谓的天外魔头原本就是一道魔念,修士进阶时候的心魔,指的就是他们了。
This oath had no binding power over him, so he agreed with great satisfaction.
huàn jù huà shuō tā jí shì xīn mó , xīn mó jí shì tā , ràng qí duì xīn mó fā shì , nà qǐ bù shì yí xiào tiān xià de shì , zhè xiǎo jiā huo cōng míng yī shì hú tú yī shí zhēn shì yī xiǎo bái chī 。
换句话说他即是心魔,心魔即是他,让其对心魔发誓,那岂不是贻笑天下的事,这小家伙聪明一世糊涂一时真是一小白痴。
"Secondly, you should give me some benefits." Lin Xuan's sly voice reached his ears.
zhè ge shì yán , duì tā bàn diǎn yuē shù lì yě wú , gù ér dā yìng dé dàng rán shì fēi cháng shuǎng kuài le 。
这个誓言,对他半点约束力也无,故而答应得当然是非常爽快了。
"Benefits?" The demon from beyond the heavens was surprised.
“ qí cì , nǐ yào gěi wǒ yī xiē hǎo chù 。” lín xuān jiǎo huá de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
“其次,你要给我一些好处。”林轩狡猾的声音传入耳朵。
"Yes. When cultivators take over another body, they are limited by heavenly laws. Although my physical body isn't extraordinary, it can't be easily given up either. If I hand over the mortal holy body, shouldn't Daoist friend give me some benefits as compensation?" Lin Xuan said seriously.
“ gěi nǐ hǎo chù ?” tiān wài mó tóu yǒu diǎn jīng yà le 。
“给你好处?”天外魔头有点惊讶了。
Su Yunfeng was speechless. The saying goes, "To try to get a tiger's fur." The cultivator in front of him was even more outrageous—daring beyond measure. He actually dared to ask the demon from beyond the heavens for benefits. Such brazenness was unprecedented and unlikely to be seen again.
“ bù cuò , xiū shì duó shě , shòu xiàn yú tiān dì fǎ zé , lín mǒu ròu shēn de zī zhì suī bù rú hé , dàn yě bú shì suí suí biàn biàn jiù kě yǐ fàng qì de zài xià fàng qì fán rén shèng tǐ , dào yǒu bù yīng gāi gěi yī xiē hǎo chù zuò bǔ cháng me ?” lín xuān yī běn zhèng jīng de shuō 。
“不错,修士夺舍,受限于天地法则,林某肉身的资质虽不如何,但也不是随随便便就可以放弃的在下放弃凡人圣体,道友不应该给一些好处做补偿么?”林轩一本正经的说。
For a moment, he was stunned.
sū yún fēng yī zhèn wú yǔ , sú huà shuō , yǔ hǔ móu pí , yǎn qián de xiū shì gèng lí pǔ dǎn zi dà dào wú fǎ wú tiān de dì bù , jū rán xiàng zì jǐ zhè tiān wài mó tóu yào hǎo chù , rú cǐ dǎn dà bāo tiān , yě suàn shì qián bú jiàn gǔ rén hòu …… duō bàn yě méi yǒu shén me lái zhě 。
苏云峰一阵无语,俗话说,与虎谋皮,眼前的修士更离谱胆子大到无法无天的地步,居然像自己这天外魔头要好处,如此胆大包天,也算是前不见古人后……多半也没有什么来者。
"Why are you unwilling?"
yī shí jiān , tā jìng yǒu xiē dāi zhì le 。
一时间,他竟有些呆滞了。
Lin Xuan's voice had clearly become colder.
“ zěn me dào yǒu bù yuàn yì me ?”
“怎么道友不愿意么?”
"No."
lín xuān de shēng yīn , míng xiǎn lěng liè xià lái le 。
林轩的声音,明显冷冽下来了。
Su Yunfeng shook his head, revealing a bitter smile on his face: "I am just admiring Daoist friend’s courage. In such circumstances, still thinking of benefits is like plucking feathers from a flying goose."
“ bù 。”
“不。”
"Haha, Daoist friend flatters me too much."
sū yún fēng yáo le yáo tóu liǎn shàng jū rán lù chū yī sī kǔ xiào zhī sè:“ wǒ zhǐ shì zài pèi fú dào yǒu de dǎn sè, zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng xià , hái xiǎng zhe yào hǎo chù , jiǎn zhí shì yàn guò bá máo de xìng gé 。”“ hē hē , dào ān miù zàn le 。”
苏云峰摇了摇头脸上居然lù出一丝苦笑之sè:“我只是在佩服道友的胆sè,这种情况下,还想着要好处,简直是雁过拔毛的xìng格。”“呵呵,道安谬赞了。”
Lin Xuan seemed to not notice the mocking tone in Su Yunfeng's voice and continued speaking calmly.
lín xuān fǎng fú tīng bù chū duì fāng de cháo fěng zhī yì , miàn bù gǎi sè de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ lǐ 。
林轩仿佛听不出对方的嘲讽之意,面不改sè的声音传入耳朵里。
"Alright, your point makes sense. I will give you a divine treasure as a gift."
“ hǎo ba , dào yǒu suǒ yán yě yǒu dào lǐ , wǒ jiù sòng nǐ yī jiàn líng bǎo rú hé ?”
“好吧,道友所言也有道理,我就送你一件灵宝如何?”
"A divine treasure of supreme power?"
“ tōng tiān líng bǎo me ?”
“通天灵宝么?”
Lin Xuan frowned, clearly unsatisfied with this suggestion: "Although divine treasures are great treasures, at my level, they aren't that hard to come by. Compared to the price I am paying for giving up my body, don’t you think it's too trivial?"
lín xuān méi tou yí zhòu , míng xiǎn bìng bù mǎn yì duì fāng de tí yì lái zhe :“ líng bǎo suī rán shì liǎo bù qǐ de bǎo wù , dàn shí lì dào le lín mǒu zhè yàng de děng jí , yě bìng fēi kě yù ér bù kě qiú , yǔ zài xià fàng qì ròu shēn suǒ fù chū de dài jià xiāng bǐ , dào yǒu bù jué dé tài guò ér xì le ma ?”
林轩眉头一皱,明显并不满意对方的提议来着:“灵宝虽然是了不起的宝物,但实力到了林某这样的等级,也并非可遇而不可求,与在下放弃肉身所付出的代价相比,道友不觉得太过儿戏了吗?”
"Humph. If it were a regular postnatal divine treasure, your words wouldn't be wrong. But if the treasure I provide is far beyond that level?"
“ hēng , ruò shì yì bān de hòu tiān líng bǎo , gé xià suǒ yán yě bù suàn yǒu shén me cuò , dàn rú guǒ wǒ suǒ tí gōng de bǎo wù , yuǎn yuǎn chāo guò nà ge děng jí ne ?”
“哼,若是一般的后天灵宝,阁下所言也不算有什么错,但如果我所提供的宝物,远远超过那个等级呢?”
The demon from beyond the heavens' disdainful voice reached his ears, and Lin Xuan was greatly alarmed.
tiān wài mó tóu bù xiè de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ , lín xuān yī tīng què shì dà jīng shī sè。
天外魔头不屑的声音传入耳朵,林轩一听却是大惊失sè。
"What? Not a postnatal divine treasure but an innate divine treasure?"
“ shén me , bú shì hòu tiān líng bǎo , nán dào shì xiān tiān líng bǎo ?”
“什么,不是后天灵宝,难道是先天灵宝?”
Lin Xuan was shocked, but his joy only lasted for a moment before he became suspicious.
lín xuān dà jīng shī sè, dàn jīng xǐ jǐn jǐn shì yī shùn jiān bà le , hěn kuài , huái yí zhī sè gèng nóng 。
林轩大惊失sè,但惊喜仅仅是一瞬间罢了,很快,怀疑之sè更浓。
This reaction was normal. Any cultivator familiar with the difference between innate and postnatal divine treasures would react similarly to Lin Xuan in such circumstances.
zhè zhǒng fǎn yìng yě shì hěn zhèng cháng de , rèn hé yí gè shú zhī xiān tiān líng bǎo yǔ hòu tiān líng bǎo qū bié de xiū shì , zài cǐ zhǒng qíng kuàng xià , suǒ zuò chū de fǎn yìng , dōu jué duì yǔ lín xuān jí qí xiāng sì 。
这种反应也是很正常的,任何一个熟知先天灵宝与后天灵宝区别的修士,在此种情况下,所做出的反应,都绝对与林轩极其相似。
Although both were called supreme divine treasures, any ordinary cultivator knew the vast differences between them, which were astonishing. In fact, these two types of treasures belonged to entirely different levels.
xiān tiān líng bǎo yǔ hòu tiān líng bǎo suī rán jiē bèi chēng wéi tōng tiān líng bǎo 。
先天灵宝与后天灵宝虽然皆被称为通天灵宝。
For example, a postnatal divine treasure wasn't considered an extraordinary treasure for a spirit realm cultivator, but what about an innate divine treasure?
dàn suí biàn yī míng xiū shì , dōu zhī dào zhè zhōng jiān de chā yì , yǐ dà dào lìng rén tàn wéi guān zhǐ , kě yǐ shuō , liǎng zhě míng chēng suī xiāng chà fǎng fú , dàn qí shí gēn běn jiù bú shì yí gè céng miàn de bǎo wù 。
但随便一名修士,都知道这中间的差异,已大到令人叹为观止,可以说,两者名称虽相差仿佛,但其实根本就不是一个层面的宝物。
Not just frangible period cultivators, even old monsters who had passed the tribulation found it difficult to see one. Legend had it that there was no way to duplicate innate divine treasures; they were passed down from the celestial realm. With the vastness of the spirit world, all minor interfaces combined together would have only a dozen or so such treasures.
jǔ yí gè lì zi , hòu tiān líng bǎo duì fēn shén jí bié de xiū xiān zhě , yǐ bù suàn rú hé liǎo bù qǐ de bǎo wù , dàn xiān tiān líng bǎo ne ?
举一个例子,后天灵宝对分神级别的修仙者,已不算如何了不起的宝物,但先天灵宝呢?
Apart from Immortal Demons and Beast Kings, those who possessed them were all great cultivators who had passed the late tribulation stage.
bié shuō fēn shén qī le , jiù suàn shì dù jié qī lǎo guài wù , yě hěn nán yǒu jī huì jiàn shàng yí miàn de , chuán shuō , xiān tiān líng bǎo gēn běn jiù méi yǒu bàn fǎ fǎng zhì , nǎi shì cóng xiān jiè liú chuán xià lái dì , yǐ líng jiè miàn jī zhī guǎng bó , suǒ yǒu xiǎo jiè miàn jiā zài yì qǐ , yōng yǒu de xiān tiān líng bǎo , yě bù guò shí yú jiàn ér yǐ 。
别说分神期了,就算是渡劫期老怪物,也很难有机会见上一面的,传说,先天灵宝根本就没有办法仿制,乃是从仙界流传下来地,以灵界面积之广博,所有小界面加在一起,拥有的先天灵宝,也不过十余件而已。
What an extraordinary treasure! Even if the demon from beyond the heavens was from another dimension, he couldn't be indifferent. There was no reason to give it away for free.
sàn xiān yāo wáng bù yòng tí , qí yú yōng yǒu de , yě wú yī bú shì dù jié hòu qī de dà néng zhī shì 。
散仙妖王不用提,其余拥有的,也无一不是渡劫后期的大能之士。
This was illogical.
zhè yàng de bǎo wù hé qí liǎo de , jiù suàn tiān wài mó tóu shì lái zì lìng yí gè wèi miàn de cún zài , yě bù kě néng duì qí háo bù zài yì , yú qíng yú lǐ , dōu méi yǒu bái sòng gěi zì jǐ de dào lǐ 。
这样的宝物何其了得,就算天外魔头是来自另一个位面的存在,也不可能对其毫不在意,于情于理,都没有白送给自己的道理。
So Lin Xuan naturally became highly vigilant.
zhè bù hé cháng lǐ 。
这不合常理。
Seeing Lin Xuan's expression, Su Yunfeng sighed: "It seems you are familiar with the origins of innate and postnatal divine treasures."
suǒ yǐ lín xuān zì rán dà shēng jǐng tì 。
所以林轩自然大生警惕。
"Indeed. I happened upon this in ancient texts. How precious an innate divine treasure is! Even if it were possible for you to have one, would you really be willing to give it to me?"
jiàn lín xuān 「 wǒ shì ruǎn mèi yī xīn 」 zhè fú biǎo qíng , sū yún fēng tàn le kǒu qì :“ kàn lái nǐ shì liǎo jiě xiān tiān líng bǎo yǔ hòu tiān líng bǎo de lái lì 。”
见林轩「我是软妹伊心」这幅表情,苏云峰叹了口气:“看来你是了解先天灵宝与后天灵宝的来历。”
"Hmm, your doubts are justified, but who said what I am giving you is an innate divine treasure?"
“ bù cuò , lín mǒu jī yuán qiǎo hé , zài gǔ jí shàng kàn guò , xiān tiān líng bǎo hé děng zhēn guì zhī wù , qiě bù shuō gé xià bù kě néng huì yǒu , jiù suàn nǐ jī yuán qiǎo hé , yōng yǒu cǐ wù , yòu zěn me kě néng shě de ná chū lái gěi lín mǒu ne ?”
“不错,林某机缘巧合,在古籍上看过,先天灵宝何等珍贵之物,且不说阁下不可能会有,就算你机缘巧合,拥有此物,又怎么可能舍得拿出来给林某呢?”
"You said you would give me a divine treasure as compensation and not a postnatal one." Lin Xuan hesitantly replied.
“ ń , nǐ zhè fān huái yí méi cuò , bù guò shuí shuō wǒ yào sòng yǔ nǐ de dōng xī , shì xiān tiān líng bǎo le ?”
“嗯,你这番怀疑没错,不过谁说我要送与你的东西,是先天灵宝了?”
From his expression, he didn't seem like he was lying. Could it be that he was too narrow-minded? Was there another type of divine treasure besides innate and postnatal ones?
“ kě nǐ shuō guò , yào sòng wǒ yī jiàn líng bǎo , zuò wéi bǔ cháng , ér qiě hái bú shì hòu tiān líng bǎo 。” lín xuān nà nà de dào 。
“可你说过,要送我一件灵宝,作为补偿,而且还不是后天灵宝。”林轩呐呐的道。
Seemingly guessing what Lin Xuan was thinking, Su Yunfeng said with a strange smile: "Indeed, the treasure I am giving you is something between an innate and postnatal divine treasure. It's called a supreme heaven divine treasure."
kàn duì fāng de biǎo qíng , sì hū bù xiàng yǒu hū yōu zhī yì , nán dào zhēn shì zì jǐ gū lòu guǎ wén , zhè shì jiān chú le xiān tiān líng bǎo yǔ hòu tiān líng bǎo , hái yǒu bié de líng bǎo ?
看对方的表情,似乎不像有忽悠之意,难道真是自己孤陋寡闻,这世间除了先天灵宝与后天灵宝,还有别的灵宝?
"Supreme heaven divine treasure?"
fǎng fú cāi dào lín xuān zài xiǎng shén me , nà sū yún fēng miàn dài yī sī gǔ guài de kāi kǒu le :“ bù cuò , běn mó jūn yào zèng yǔ nǐ de bǎo wù , nǎi shì jiè yú xiān tiān líng bǎo yǔ hòu tiān líng bǎo zhī jiān de yī zhǒng dōng xī , bèi chēng wéi xuán tiān líng bǎo 。”
仿佛猜到林轩在想什么,那苏云峰面带一丝古怪的开口了:“不错,本魔君要赠与你的宝物,乃是介于先天灵宝与后天灵宝之间的一种东西,被称为玄天灵宝。”
Lin Xuan scratched his head. The other party spoke seriously, not like he was lying, but how could he have never heard of such a thing!
“ xuán tiān líng bǎo ?”
“玄天灵宝?”
"Humph. If you haven't heard of it, it only proves your narrow-mindedness. Do I look like someone who would deceive you."
lín xuān náo le náo tóu , duì fāng shuō dé shā yǒu qí shì , bù xiàng yǒu jiǎ , rán ér zhè suǒ wèi de xuán tiān líng bǎo , zì jǐ zěn me cóng lái méi yǒu tīng guò a !
林轩挠了挠头,对方说得煞有其事,不像有假,然而这所谓的玄天灵宝,自己怎么从来没有听过啊!
"Hehe, the release of people can’t be without. Could Daoist friend tell me about the origins of this supreme heaven divine treasure so that Lin Xuan can rest assured?"
“ hēng , méi tīng shuō guò , zhǐ néng zhèng míng nǐ gū lòu guǎ wén ér yǐ , nán dào běn mó jūn hái huì piàn nǐ 。”
“哼,没听说过,只能证明你孤陋寡闻而已,难道本魔君还会骗你。”
Lin Xuan's voice did not budge as he continued: "Indeed, the origin of the supreme heaven divine treasure is something I will gladly share with you!"
Poison tube?
Lin Xuan smiled. "If we were to switch places, would Daoist friend be willing?"
"Then what is your intention?"
Anger flashed across Su Yunfeng's face. The demon from beyond the heavens was more vicious and combative than the ancient demons. His patience was limited. Although he didn't want to fight Lin Xuan to the death, under these circumstances, his patience was about to be completely worn down.
The key issue was that there was no trust between them. If this continued, they wouldn’t see any hope of reaching an agreement. It would be better to act rather than do something futile.
Thinking of this, a fierce light appeared in his eyes as the demon aura surged and contracted. Clearly, he was ready to make a move if words failed.
However, at that moment, Lin Xuan's voice reached his ears: "Why are you in such a hurry? My conditions have not been fully stated yet. If you agree, I can give up this body. Of course, if Daoist friend insists on refusing, then I will fight to the death and never yield."
"Oh, Daoist..."
The demon from beyond the heavens was delighted upon hearing this. As long as he agreed to hand over the mortal holy body, everything could be discussed.

"Why are you unwilling?"
Lin Xuan's voice had clearly become colder.
"No."
Su Yunfeng shook his head, revealing a bitter smile on his face: "I am just admiring Daoist friend’s courage. In such circumstances, still thinking of benefits is like plucking feathers from a flying goose."
"Haha, Daoist friend flatters me too much."

"Indeed. I happened upon this in ancient texts. How precious an innate divine treasure is! Even if it were possible for you to have one, would you really be willing to give it to me?"
"Hmm, your doubts are justified, but who said what I am giving you is an innate divine treasure?"
"You said you would give me a divine treasure as compensation and not a postnatal one." Lin Xuan hesitantly replied.
From his expression, he didn't seem like he was lying. Could it be that he was too narrow-minded? Was there another type of divine treasure besides innate and postnatal ones?
Seemingly guessing what Lin Xuan was thinking, Su Yunfeng said with a strange smile: "Indeed, the treasure I am giving you is something between an innate and postnatal divine treasure. It's called a supreme heaven divine treasure."
"Supreme heaven divine treasure?"
Lin Xuan scratched his head. The other party spoke seriously, not like he was lying, but how could he have never heard of such a thing!
"Humph. If you haven't heard of it, it only proves your narrow-mindedness. Do I look like someone who would deceive you."
"Hehe, the release of people can’t be without. Could Daoist friend tell me about the origins of this supreme heaven divine treasure so that Lin Xuan can rest assured?"
Lin Xuan's voice did not budge as he continued: "Indeed, the origin of the supreme heaven divine treasure is something I will gladly share with you!"
