Chapter 765: Using the Exotic Fire Information to Tempt Xiao Yan Again

However, Lin Feng extended his palm, signaling the nearby Xiao Yixian to calm down.

Then, he slowly said to Xiao Yan: "I can trade with you, but I cannot give you those things of your teacher."

"What do you mean? Trade with me, but not give me the items?"

Xiao Yan, who had been delighted to hear Lin Feng agree, darkened his expression upon hearing this and abruptly rose to question.

"Hehe, I haven't even finished speaking; why are you so impatient?"

Lin Feng looked at the somewhat irritable Xiao Yan and continued: "However, I do have information related to an exotic fire. If you are willing to tell me the location of that tomb, I can give it to you in exchange."

The Bone Spirit Cold Fire and the inheritance of the medicine dust—one can raise his cultivation technique level and Dou Qi strength, the other contains the prescription for the Nine Yin Huangquan Pill he will need when later attempting to subdue the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire.

To him, those items have great significance.

Therefore, he naturally cannot abandon them.

After pondering for a long time, he finally decided to simply trade the information about the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire.

After all, the information about this exotic fire is known to the ancient races.

Even if he does not say it now, when the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire is about to emerge, Gu Xun'er will certainly tell Xiao Yan.

Moreover, according to the original description, the emergence of the demonic fire almost shook the entire Zhongzhou Continent.

At that time, any Xiao Yan who is not dead would surely sense the existence of the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire.

And no matter what he does, Xiao Yan will eventually discover the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire.

So instead of hiding it, he might as well use this unrevealed information now to trade.

Of course, regarding the ancient demonic fire diagram, he will certainly choose to forget it and not tell Xiao Yan.

After all, if Xiao Yan learned of this, he would go mad searching for those fragmentary diagrams.

Thus, the difficulty of gathering the final fragment would arbitrarily increase manyfold.

Such a move, where the drawbacks outweigh the benefits, only a fool would do.

"Exotic fire?!"

Hearing those words, the gloom on Xiao Yan's face instantly vanished, and his gaze burned hotly at Lin Feng.

However, his brows furrowed as he said skeptically: "Since you know where that exotic fire is, why not give it to your own relatives and friends, or sell it outright, instead of holding it until now to trade with me?"

"Because that exotic fire has not yet manifested, and its power is too great; with my current strength, going after it would only lead to death."

Seeing the former's interest, Lin Feng chuckled lightly and slowly explained the reason.

He simply didn't believe that the other party would remain unmoved when confronting the exotic fire.

"This guy's strength is already at the Dou Zun level; if what he says is true and he cannot contend with that exotic fire, then that fire must be comparable to, or even stronger than, the previous Three Thousand Yan Yan Fire!"

Hearing the former's explanation, Xiao Yan's emotions were instantly stirred.

After a brief silence, he couldn't help but say: "Although your words are tempting, from what you say I still don't know what exotic fire it is, nor can I tell whether what you claim is true or false, so how can I trust you?"

Then he stated his real purpose: "Why don't you elaborate, so I can know whether it's worth the exchange?"

"Don't even think about giving details; all I can say is that before that exotic fire, the Three Thousand Yan Yan Fire is like a mere worm— even a Dou Saint would see its eyes redden and try to subdue it."

Having said that, Lin Feng paused briefly, then added: "What I refer to is a true Dou Saint, not a Half Saint. That exotic fire possesses such allure!"

Seeing his confident demeanor, Xiao Yan's throat involuntarily twitched a few times, and a deep heat flashed in his eyes.

If what he says is true, that mysterious exotic fire could crush the Three Thousand Yan Yan Fire.

Then its ranking on the exotic fire list should not be lower than sixth.

And that level of exotic fire, according to information recorded in numerous ancient texts,

its mature power can even compare to a Half Saint, or even a true Dou Saint!

"No way, I must get hold of such exotic fire information."

Thinking of the terrifying boost such a fire would bring, Xiao Yan's heart surged with endless heat.

At that moment, his pupils flickered, and he laughed: "You describe that exotic fire so gloriously; I always feel it's a bit unreal and can't tell what's true."

"How about this: first tell me the information and location of that exotic fire; once I confirm it's fine, I'll immediately tell you the location of that Half Saint's tomb, okay?"

Hearing the other indulge in these pointless tricks, Lin Feng sneered and mocked: "You really think you're the only clever one under the heavens, that only a few spoiled second‑generation heirs have a dull mind? If you truly want to trade, do it honestly; stop always trying to cheat others for free goods."

After all, Lin Feng is not one of those people you trapped in the original story.

Those people compromised because they needed pills but couldn't find a suitable alchemist, leaving them with no choice.

Even knowing they were at a loss, they endured it.

But he doesn't need you, Xiao Yan, to refine pills; this move has zero effect for him!

And Xiao Yan's heart sank upon hearing Lin Feng's words.

From the other's attitude, the difficulty of coaxing the information into his hands must be extremely high.

But seeing the top‑ranked exotic fire information right before his eyes, Xiao Yan naturally could not easily give up.

After a brief thought, he continued: "How can I know whether your information is true or false? Do you expect me to believe it just because you claim to know the exotic fire?"

While speaking, he was already beginning to back down in his mind.

He plans to, after rescuing his teacher, find a way to get that exotic fire information from Lin Feng.

However, though he thinks that way, he must not show it.

"If you truly have the tomb address of that Half Saint, we can trade face‑to‑face right now, each gathering reliable men, traveling to the two sites. Once there, won't we know the truth?"

Seeing the other's dithering, Lin Feng bluntly forced him into a corner.

Because the other keeps evading a face‑to‑face trade, his suspicion only grows stronger.
