Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

At this moment, Chen Tian naturally noticed the hopeful look on Lu Sheng's face, but after blinking, he immediately shook his head and said, "Sorry, I can't help with this!"

"Why?"

Hearing Chen Tian's answer, the hope on Lu Sheng's face instantly turned into deep astonishment, and he was stunned in place for a long time, unable to recover.

However, just now, Chen Tian witnessed Lu Sheng using the white-robed man as bait to sell him to the golden beetles in order to gain a chance to escape.

It was from that moment that Chen Tian realized that this person was definitely not a person who valued friendship and loyalty. If he joined forces with him, then once they encountered a crisis, Chen Tian couldn't rule out that this person would repeat his old trick and sell him out as well.

Therefore, for the sake of safety, Chen Tian still thought it was better to stay away from this person.

There was another point that was also the reason why Chen Tian refused this person.

Chen Tian had been following these two people all the way, and naturally he had seen all their actions.

Chen Tian remembered very clearly that when they first entered the cave with the lotus stone platform, both of them were staring intently at the unremarkable green jade scepter, completely ignoring the precious saber next to it.

This meant that in their hearts, the value of the green jade scepter was much greater than the precious saber next to it.

However, just now, Lu Sheng only told Chen Tian how powerful and precious the saber was, but he didn't mention the green jade scepter at all, as if he was deliberately guiding Chen Tian's thinking, wanting him to forget the existence of the green jade scepter.

This phenomenon could not help but make Chen Tian very suspicious.

Chen Tian felt that there must be some major secret hidden within it, and Lu Sheng deliberately didn't mention it to Chen Tian.

How could Chen Tian have the confidence to form an alliance with someone who was unwilling to open his heart and treat him with sincerity like this?

What if this person turned around and killed Chen Tian after obtaining the treasure?

Although Chen Tian had the means to defeat this person, cultivators in the凝海境 were not to be trifled with, so Chen Tian had to be careful.

After considering all of this, Chen Tian flatly rejected the alliance proposal put forward by this person.

After a long while, Lu Sheng finally recovered from his astonishment. He saw his eyes flicker for a while, and then his face became solemn. He opened his mouth to Chen Tian again in a dignified tone: "Fellow Daoist Yang, can't you reconsider? I think if we join forces, we will definitely be able to eliminate the harm of those golden beetles and seize the treasure."

After saying that, Lu Sheng took another step back and bowed deeply to Chen Tian!

For some unknown reason, Lu Sheng was still unwilling to give up and begged Chen Tian again. Moreover, this time, he deliberately lowered his posture extremely low, almost treating Chen Tian with the etiquette of a junior.

It should be known that in the world of cultivation, first comes favor, second comes face. Even peers still have to compete for superiority, so how can there be cultivators of a higher realm performing the etiquette of a junior to cultivators of a lower realm?

Therefore, the fact that Lu Sheng was able to put down his dignity and beg Chen Tian in this way was already a very shocking thing.

And when Chen Tian saw his appearance, he couldn't help but be surprised, and then frowned and said: "Okay, then tell me, why should I help you?"

Although Chen Tian's voice was not loud when he said this, Lu Sheng was immediately overjoyed after hearing it.

Lu Sheng was a smart man, and he knew that this was a sign that Chen Tian's will was beginning to waver, so he immediately replied: "As long as Fellow Daoist can help me obtain the treasure, I am willing to share it equally with Fellow Daoist. I will give the saber to Fellow Daoist, and I will suffer a little loss, as long as I get that worthless green jade scepter."

Hearing this, Chen Tian sneered in his heart.

As expected, it was exactly as he had guessed. The reason why this person had tried so hard to praise the saber just now was to make Chen Tian choose the saber when dividing the treasure, so as to ignore the existence of the green jade scepter.

However, Lu Sheng also underestimated Chen Tian a bit. Chen Tian was not a fool. After seeing the expressions they had revealed before, Chen Tian knew that the green jade scepter must contain a great secret!

Of course, Lu Sheng at this time had no idea what Chen Tian was thinking in his heart. When he saw Chen Tian's gloomy look, he thought he was hesitating, so he continued to entice him: "Although the value of the saber is far above the green jade scepter, Fellow Daoist doesn't need to feel embarrassed. I just want to make friends with you, so even if I suffer a little loss, it's not a big deal. As long as Fellow Daoist can remember this kindness I have shown today, Lu will be satisfied."

As Chen Tian had guessed, Lu Sheng once again belittled the value of the green jade scepter, wanting Chen Tian to give up the idea of possessing it.

What made Chen Tian even more ridiculous was that this person actually described himself as if he had suffered a great loss, and even wanted Chen Tian to accept his favor.

Was he completely treating Chen Tian as a three-year-old child to play with?

If Chen Tian was ignorant of the matter, he might really have been deceived by his hypocritical words, but what he never expected was that Chen Tian was hundreds of times smarter than he imagined.

These words might be able to fool ghosts, but trying to fool Chen Tian would only be doomed to self-humiliation.

Thinking of this, the hesitant look on Chen Tian's face instantly disappeared, and he nodded and said: "I can help with this!"

"Really?" Hearing Chen Tian's words, a strong joy appeared on Lu Sheng's face, and he hurriedly nodded and said: "Then let's follow the agreement we just reached. As long as Fellow Daoist can help me get those two things, I will give you the saber! Now is not the time to delay, let's hurry back!"

After saying that, Lu Sheng seemed impatient and was eager to return to that cave again.

"Wait a minute!"

However, at this moment, Chen Tian stopped him with a gloomy face.

"Huh? Fellow Daoist Yang, do you have anything else?" Hearing Chen Tian's words, Lu Sheng slowly turned around and stared at him suspiciously.

Chen Tian smiled slightly and said indifferently: "Although I promised to help you, the conditions have to be changed."

"What?" Lu Sheng's face changed after hearing this, and then he said gloomily: "Then how do you want to change it, Fellow Daoist?"

"It's very simple." Chen Tian grinned, and a sly look suddenly appeared on his face, and he said softly: "The treasure is for you, and the green jade scepter is for me, how about that?"

"What?"

Hearing this, the excitement in Lu Sheng's heart suddenly dissipated, and then he stared at Chen Tian with a gloomy gaze and said coldly: "Fellow Daoist Yang, what do you mean by this after all?"
