Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Just as Gao Liu Shan himself said, since ascending to the position of Sect Master of the Vast Ocean Sect, he had seen countless people and things over the millennia, which had cultivated his ability to observe words and expressions. No matter who it was, he could naturally guess their intentions with just a glance.

Chen Tian was no exception!

One must know that Gao Liu Shan already possessed the cultivation of the middle stage of the凝海境 (Ning Hai Realm), and even looking at the entire乾元大陆 (Qian Yuan Continent), he was a true powerhouse. Yet even so, when he saw Chen Tian for the first time, he was shocked by the powerful aura emanating from Chen Tian's body.

Although Chen Tian deliberately concealed his true cultivation, Gao Liu Shan could still sense that with just a small finger, Chen Tian could wipe out the entire Vast Ocean Sect!

However, such a terrifyingly powerful person had condescended to come to their inconspicuous island. Clearly, there must be an ulterior motive.

However, Gao Liu Shan couldn't yet guess what Chen Tian was after.

Filled with doubt, Gao Liu Shan frowned and looked at Chen Tian with a solemn gaze!

Chen Tian didn't rush to answer Gao Liu Shan's question. Instead, he tilted his head back and drank all the wine in the cup, letting out a heartfelt sigh.

After putting down the wine cup, Chen Tian, as if still not satisfied, reached out to grab the wine pot, wanting to pour another cup.

But at that moment, Gao Liu Shan took the lead and picked up the wine pot from the table, leaving Chen Tian empty-handed.

"Hmm? What do you mean by this?" Seeing this scene, Chen Tian raised his head and asked Gao Liu Shan.

"If Senior is a friend of our Vast Ocean Sect, then I, Gao, will not hesitate to let you drink as much fine wine as you want! But if Senior intends to be an enemy of our Vast Ocean Sect, hehe, then I'm sorry, even if there are thousands of fine wines, not a single drop will be given to Senior!"

Gao Liu Shan was also a talent. Although he knew he was no match for Chen Tian, he did not weaken his momentum. He knew that taking the initiative was the only way to gain the upper hand, so at this time, he was also issuing a final warning to Chen Tian.

If Chen Tian sincerely wanted to make peace with their Vast Ocean Sect, then Gao Liu Shan would naturally welcome it and continue to treat Chen Tian with the highest level of courtesy. But on the other hand, if Chen Tian wanted to harm the Vast Ocean Sect, then even if he knew he would die, Gao Liu Shan intended to fight Chen Tian to the death.

After all, it is better to be a shattered jade than an intact tile.

Gao Liu Shan would not be afraid of Chen Tian's strength. Even if he had to die, he would die with dignity. This was Gao Liu Shan's consistent style and the bottom line in his heart that could not be shaken!

"So, friend or foe, Senior, give me a straight answer!" After thinking this, Gao Liu Shan raised his eyebrows and glared, pressing Chen Tian again.

"Haha, Your Excellency, don't be angry. In fact, my visit this time is neither as a friend nor as an enemy. If you have to assign me a status, then just consider me a passing merchant. And my purpose is actually to do a deal with your sect!" Looking at Gao Liu Shan's serious appearance, Chen Tian suddenly laughed and said.

Chen Tian's laughter immediately eased the tense atmosphere in the hall. Gao Liu Shan was shocked and asked in confusion, "Senior, what do you mean? What merchant? What deal?"

Unlike his previous tough attitude, Gao Liu Shan's tone was much gentler when he said this, after all, although he still couldn't guess Chen Tian's intentions, he already knew that Chen Tian had no malice. And this alone was enough to make him feel at ease.

"It's very simple." Looking at Gao Liu Shan's puzzled expression, Chen Tian chuckled again and then said, "The transaction I'm talking about is to buy the spirit vein of your Vast Ocean Sect!"

"What? You want to buy our Vast Ocean Sect's spirit vein?" Chen Tian's words brought endless shock to Gao Liu Shan, causing his hands to tremble. The wine pot in his hand instantly tilted, pouring the fine wine down, about to fall to the ground.

"Tsk tsk, such fine wine, how can it be wasted. This is not good... not good!"

Seeing this, Chen Tian shook his head as if extremely regretful. Then, he waved his hand, and all the fine wine that was about to spill onto the ground was reversed and fell into his wine cup.

Seeing this scene, Gao Liu Shan seemed to have recovered his senses. After putting the wine pot back on the table, he asked suspiciously, "Senior, you're not playing with us, are you? Do you really want to buy our Vast Ocean Sect's spirit vein?"

"You don't have to worry about that. I, Chen, am an honest man, and I never play with people. So you didn't hear wrong, I came here this time to buy your spirit vein! I just don't know if you are willing to sell it?" After shaking the wine cup in his hand, Chen Tian said with a smile on his lips.

Hearing this, Gao Liu Shan looked at Chen Tian again. In the end, he believed that Chen Tian was not lying, but was indeed, as he said, here to buy the spirit vein of their Vast Ocean Sect.

After confirming this, Gao Liu Shan's expression couldn't help but become serious and earnest. After all, he had never encountered such a shocking request.

However, Gao Liu Shan was not an indecisive person. After quickly calculating in his mind, he seemed to have made up his mind, gritted his teeth, and nodded to Chen Tian: "Okay, this spirit vein, our Vast Ocean Sect will sell it!"

"Hmm?" Hearing Gao Liu Shan's straightforward answer, this time it was Chen Tian's turn to be a little surprised. He asked in confusion, "Are you sure you don't want to consider it carefully? After all, this is a big deal!"

"No need, there's really nothing to consider." Hearing Chen Tian's question, Gao Liu Shan immediately shook his head and said, "Senior saved my third junior brother today and has done a great favor to our Vast Ocean Sect, that's one reason. Secondly, with Senior's strength, you could have used brute force to seize our Vast Ocean Sect's spirit vein, and we would have been powerless to stop you. But Senior not only didn't do that, but also sat down to discuss this matter peacefully with me, which has already given our Vast Ocean Sect a great deal of face. Precisely because of these two reasons, I have no reason not to sell it. After all, Senior looks up to us, and we must respect Senior!"

It must be said that Gao Liu Shan was indeed a smart man. He knew that if he angered Chen Tian, then with Chen Tian's formidable strength, he would definitely come and forcibly seize it. At that time, their Vast Ocean Sect would only end up losing both people and wealth.

So since Chen Tian had already offered a way out, he didn't hesitate at all and immediately agreed. After all, rather than being an enemy of Chen Tian, it would be better to take this opportunity to ask for some more chips from Chen Tian.

This is a win-win situation!
