Long Chen's expression turned serious, and he said earnestly, "Sixth Brother, it's like this. I have now completely learned your Heavenly Soul Blood Curse. However, just a few days ago, I encountered a terrifying beast and found its curse power to be too frightening. I had no means of defense against it. Sixth Brother, you are proficient in the arts of curses, so I thought I could seek your guidance on how to defend against and break curses."
"Tch, when you came, you were with a few Curse Spirit Blood Crows. Did you get scared after experiencing the curse arts of the Curse Spirit Blood Crows?" The green-feathered parrot's small eyes shifted as it spoke disdainfully.
"That's right. If you teach me the art of defense and dispelling, I will not treat you unfairly," Long Chen said.
"Defense and dispelling arts, of course, Sixth Master has them. But why should I teach you? You're just a mere Human Emperor. It's not that I look down on you, but what could you possibly have that I need?" the green-feathered parrot said with disdain.
"Aren't you on good terms with the Nine Star lineage? Can't you give me a little face for that?" Long Chen asked.
"I have no..."
The green-feathered parrot was about to say it had no connection, but then it recalled that it had once claimed to have ties, and going back on its word now would be like slapping its own face.
"There's a... slight connection, but it's not enough for me to pass on my secret techniques just because of a word from you," the green-feathered parrot retorted.
"Give it a sliver of the flame power from the golden lotus seed, remember, just a sliver, the less the better," Qiankun Cauldron said.
Long Chen's heart stirred as he realized that at some point, the golden lotus seed had transformed into a flame, taking the shape of a golden lotus about ten feet wide, floating above the chaotic space.
The golden flame was rising, but it emitted no fiery aura, and its rippling waves were as gentle as water, carrying only a sacred power without any violent force.
"Whoosh"
Following Qiankun Cauldron's instructions, Long Chen guided a sliver of the golden flame into his palm with his mind.
In Long Chen's palm, the golden flame instantly transformed into a palm-sized golden lotus.
Seeing the golden lotus, the green-feathered parrot's eyes widened, but it quickly masked its shock, speaking nonchalantly, "This ball of golden flame seems to have some origins, but it's just a little bit. What's it good for? You're not sincere enough."
Hearing the insincere words of the green-feathered parrot, Long Chen almost laughed out loud. This guy's performance was too exaggerated, a classic case of covering up and revealing.
"Ah, since Sixth Brother isn't interested, let's just forget it."
"Whoosh"
Long Chen immediately withdrew the flame and said, "Sixth Brother, my friends and I would like to pass through. You wouldn't make things difficult for me just because our deal fell through, would you?"
Seeing Long Chen put away the flame, the green-feathered parrot became anxious but dared not show it. Seeing Long Chen's question, it hurriedly said, "What a joke, business is business, and righteousness remains. Third Brother, feel free to lead your people through."
He even changed his tone to call him Third Brother, and Long Chen almost burst into laughter. This guy's strength might have improved, but his intelligence seemed to have not.
Soon, the powerhouses of the Primordial Demon Tribe slowly appeared. When they saw the terrifying Earth Vein Python, they all felt their scalps tingle from the immense pressure, which was enough to make one's soul collapse.
"Sixth Brother, thank you for your help this time. Farewell," Long Chen clasped his hands towards the green-feathered parrot and was about to leave with the Primordial Demon Tribe.
"Brother, don't be in such a hurry to leave. We've finally met after such a long time. Why not stay and chat a bit longer?" the green-feathered parrot hurriedly said.
Chat your sister, your eyes are spinning like a windmill, always scheming against me. Do you think I can't see that?
Long Chen said seriously, "I have no choice. My strength is too weak, and I must quickly improve my power. I dare not slack off for a moment, or I might not be able to see you again if I encounter another curse-wielding being."
"Alright, since you've said so, if Sixth Brother doesn't help you now, it would make me seem inhumane," the green-feathered parrot sighed.
"Ask him for this Earth Vein Python," Qiankun Cauldron transmitted to Long Chen.
Long Chen immediately understood and pretended to be moved, saying, "Sixth Brother, you are too kind. But your divine technique, my aptitude is dull, and I might not grasp it for a while. What if I get killed before I learn it? Look, I'm all alone without even a bodyguard, and Sixth Brother, you're so powerful that you don't seem to need this thing anymore."
Long Chen spoke while pointing to the ground.
"You... you shameless! I spent a lot of effort refining this Earth Vein Python into a puppet. No way, give up on that idea," the green-feathered parrot said angrily.
After being rejected, Long Chen sighed, and the golden lotus once again appeared in his hand. He weighed it in his hand, put it away again, and sighed, "In that case, Sixth Brother, farewell."
"Fine... fine... fine... you win. I'll give it to you," the green-feathered parrot gritted its teeth and said.
Long Chen smiled and said, "I want the Curse-Breaking Divine Talisman and the Path-Clearing Divine Treasure."
"You... you..."
The green-feathered parrot's expression changed, and its aura suddenly became fierce:
"How do you know so much about my secrets?"
"Don't worry about how I know. Just tell me if you're willing to trade or not," Long Chen said with a smile.
"No trade, get lost!"
The green-feathered parrot roared.
Its roar startled the powerhouses of the Primordial Demon Tribe, and Long Chen shook his head, saying, "Sixth Brother, business is business, and righteousness remains. Why get so angry?
You know how precious this flame is. Besides, apart from the Earth Vein Python, you haven't lost anything, have you? It's not like teaching me will make you lose it yourself."
"Get lost. I don't want to hear you speak again," the green-feathered parrot cursed.
"Then farewell."
Long Chen said with a helpless expression, then led the powerhouses of the Primordial Demon Tribe away slowly.
After walking for a while, Long Chen noticed that Old Green Six hadn't followed and felt a bit uneasy:
"Senior, have we failed?"
"Probably not. This guy is very cunning and is waiting for you to turn back. If you do, he will become arrogant, and the initiative will no longer be in your hands," Qiankun Cauldron said.
"Senior, can't you tell me who it is yet?" Long Chen couldn't contain his curiosity.
"Not convenient to say. Just know that this guy can be good or evil, so be cautious. If you can get benefits, take them, but never trust it too much," Qiankun Cauldron advised.
"Wait, Third Brother, Uncle Three, you've won. You win, okay?"
At this moment, Old Green Six's voice came with a sobbing tone.
An hour later, Old Green Six left cursing, while Long Chen looked at the enormous figure before him, which could almost pierce the sky, with a grin reaching his ears.
