However, Lin Feng reached out his hand, signaling Xiao Yixian beside him to calm down. Then he slowly said to Xiao Yan, "I can make a trade with you, but I cannot give you your teacher's belongings."
"What do you mean? You'll trade with me, but you won't give me the items?"
Xiao Yan, who had been extremely delighted upon hearing Lin Feng agree, instantly darkened in expression after hearing this, and abruptly stood up to question him.
"Heh, I haven't even finished speaking yet. What are you getting so worked up about?"
Looking at the somewhat irritable Xiao Yan, Lin Feng continued, "However, I do have a piece of information related to a Heavenly Flame. If you are willing to tell me the location of that tomb, I can give that information to you as an exchange."
The Bone Chilling Flame and Yao Chen's belongings.
One could raise his cultivation method tier and Dou Qi strength, and the other contained the pill formula for the Nine Yin Yellow Spring Pill, something he would need in the future when attempting to subdue the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame.
To him, those things were of immense importance. Therefore, he naturally could not give them up. After thinking for a long while, he finally decided to simply use the information of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame for the exchange.
After all, the information on that Heavenly Flame was known by the Ancient Clans. Even if he did not mention it now, when the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame was about to appear, Gu Xun'er would definitely go tell Xiao Yan.
Not to mention, from the descriptions in the original story, the descent of the flame caused such a grand disturbance that it shook the entire Central Plains continent.
At that time, so long as Xiao Yan was not dead, he would certainly sense the existence of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame. No matter what happened, Xiao Yan would eventually discover it.
So instead of hiding it, he might as well exchange this information now before it became public, in return for what Xiao Yixian needed. Of course, as for the matter of the Ancient Flame Map, he would definitely choose to conveniently "forget" it and would not tell Xiao Yan.
Because if Xiao Yan learned of it, he would definitely go mad searching for those fragments. If that happened, the difficulty for him to gather the final fragment would greatly increase for no reason.
Only a fool would do something so disadvantageous.
"Heavenly Flame?!"
Hearing these words, Xiao Yan's gloom vanished instantly, and he stared at Lin Feng with burning eyes.
However, he then frowned and said with some disbelief, "Since you know where that Heavenly Flame is, why not give it to your close companions, or sell it directly, instead of saving it until now to trade with me?"
"Because that Heavenly Flame has not appeared yet. And its strength is far too terrifying. With my current strength, going there would be nothing but a dead end."
Seeing that the other party was tempted, Lin Feng let out a small laugh and slowly explained. He did not believe Xiao Yan could resist the temptation of a Heavenly Flame.
"This guy's strength has already reached Dou Zun. If what he said is true, that even he cannot contend with that Heavenly Flame, doesn't that mean the Heavenly Flame might be comparable to the previous Three Thousand Burning Flame, or even stronger!"
Hearing Lin Feng's explanation, Xiao Yan's emotions were immediately stirred.
After a quiet pause, he still could not help but say, "Even though your words are tempting, based on what you said, I don't even know which Heavenly Flame it is, nor whether what you said is true. How am I supposed to believe you?"
Then he revealed his true intention, "Why don't you describe it in more detail? Only then will I know whether it's worth trading for."
"Forget about me describing it in detail. But I can tell you this much: in front of that Heavenly Flame, the Three Thousand Burning Flame is no different from a worm. Even a Dou Sheng would have their eyes turn red wanting to obtain it."
After saying this, Lin Feng paused, then added, "I mean a true Dou Sheng, not a Ban Sheng. That Heavenly Flame has such an irresistible allure!"
Seeing how confident Lin Feng was, Xiao Yan's throat involuntarily swallowed, and his eyes reflected a heavy burning desire.
If what Lin Feng said was true, and that mysterious Heavenly Flame could crush the Three Thousand Burning Flame… then its position in the Heavenly Flame Ranking should not be below sixth.
According to what many ancient records described, once a Heavenly Flame of that level fully matures, its power could rival a Ban Sheng, or even a true Dou Sheng expert.
"No, information about a Heavenly Flame of this level, I must get it."
Just imagining the terrifying boost that kind of Heavenly Flame could provide made Xiao Yan's heart burn with excitement.
With that thought, his eyes shifted slightly, then he smiled and said, "You're talking this Heavenly Flame up like it's some divine miracle. I can't help feeling it sounds a bit unreal, so I don't know how much of it is true."
"How about this. You tell me the information and location of that Heavenly Flame first. Once I confirm there's no issue, I'll immediately tell you where that Ban Sheng expert's tomb is. How about that?"
Hearing him play these pointless tricks again, Lin Feng let out a cold laugh and mocked, "Do you really think you're the only smart person in the world? To reach our level, aside from those spoiled second-generation brats, how many people are actually stupid? If you really want to trade, then trade properly. Stop thinking you can take advantage and freeload things for free."
After all, Lin Feng was not the ones Xiao Yan scammed in the original story.
Those people gave in because they needed pills and couldn't find an alchemist who met their requirements, so they were backed into a corner. Even if they knew they were suffering a loss, they still endured it.
But he did not need Xiao Yan to refine pills for him. That trick had zero effect on him. Hearing Lin Feng's words, Xiao Yan's heart sank. Judging from the other party's attitude, trying to trick the information out of him was going to be extremely difficult.
But with news of a top-ranked Heavenly Flame right in front of him, Xiao Yan naturally could not give up easily.
After thinking briefly, he continued, "Then how do I know your information is real? Just because you say you have news about a Heavenly Flame, I'm supposed to believe it unconditionally?"
As he spoke, he was already beginning to retreat in his heart. He was planning to rescue his teacher first, then think of another way later to obtain the Heavenly Flame information from Lin Feng. However, even if he was thinking that, he definitely could not show it.
"If you really have the location of that Ban Sheng expert's tomb, then we can just trade face to face right now. Each of us gathers reliable people, then we go to both locations. When we arrive, won't the truth reveal itself?"
Seeing the other party dragging things out, Lin Feng simply pushed him into a dead corner. Because Xiao Yan constantly dodging and refusing a direct trade only made Lin Feng's suspicion grow stronger and stronger.
