At this mont, the Dragon Turtle's expression showed no peculiarities, but its opinion of Lin Tianming had undergone a significant transformation.
However, as a powerful Fourth Order demonic beast, its inherent dignity still remained when facing a Golden Core Stage cultivator.
After all, there was still a slight disparity in strength between the two.
And from Lin Tianming's standpoint, there was really nothing untoward about his argunt.
It should be known that whether it was the Dragon Turtle itself or Lin Tianming, any actions or choices were undoubtedly for the benefit of their own side.
In this respect, both parties were actually quite clear.
As a result, the Dragon Turtle looked at Lin Tianming on the other side, keeping a calm exterior.
However, when facing Lin Tianming next, the Dragon Turtle needed to maintain its dignity but also couldn't afford to underestimate the other party.
Especially in dealing with Lin Tianming's demands, the Dragon Turtle had to consider them comprehensively.
After all, ti was extrely limited for it right now, and the window for the Nine-Turned Golden Lotus to mature was quite brief.
If it couldn't obtain the Nine-Turned Golden Lotus during this period, then once that Black Demon Dragon swallowed the treasure, everything would be beyond recovery.
So, for its goals to be achieved, the Dragon Turtle didn't have many opportunities left.
Fully aware of this, the Dragon Turtle had to seriously consider Lin Tianming's demands.
It knew very well that only if a certain balance was struck, there would be a possibility of cooperation between them.
Conversely, if the contributions and returns of any party were not proportional, and further bargaining was impossible, then reaching cooperation would be even tougher.
On this point, the Dragon Turtle was very clear.
In such a situation, faced with Lin Tianming's strong argunt, the Dragon Turtle pondered for a mont.
Soon, the Dragon Turtle had an idea.
Then, after a long silence, the Dragon Turtle spoke again.
"Young one, you must be well aware of the value of the Nine-Turned Golden Lotus, so there's no need for to elaborate."
"Since you believe the cost and returns are not proportional, state your terms."
"If they are reasonable, I might consider them!"
Saying this, the Dragon Turtle looked seriously at Lin Tianming.
Obviously, speaking first at this ti would easily lose the initiative.
Since that's the case, it was better to let the other party speak first. If the other party's terms were acceptable, the cost for the Dragon Turtle might even be lower than if it proposed its own terms.
This was sothing the Dragon Turtle clearly understood as well, hence its counter-question to Lin Tianming.
And at this mont, when Lin Tianming heard these words, his expression remained calm and steady.
In his view, the Dragon Turtle's counter-question was indeed a good way to test the waters.
In facing this situation, if he offered terms that were too low, the other party would surely dominate the situation.
Conversely, even if he asked for the moon, at least there'd be room for negotiation.
Given this, he wouldn't easily allow himself to be constrained, nor would he allow himself to be put in a disadvantageous position by offering terms that were too low.
Understanding this, Lin Tianming acted decisively.
Then, in the next mont, he spoke: "Senior Dragon Turtle, a treasure like the Nine-Turned Golden Lotus is indeed extrely rare and exceptionally precious."
"And this junior has a great need for such treasure, so I am very reluctant to give up any opportunity to claim it."
"As for now, since you asked to state my terms, I won't hold anything back."
"If we indeed cooperate and manage to obtain all the petals of the Nine-Turned Golden Lotus, this junior wants nothing else but just three petals."
"On this condition, senior might want to consider!"
"If agreed, we can reach a consensus now!"
Saying this, Lin Tianming's expression was firm, with a hint of seriousness, as if it was a decision made after thorough consideration.
His deanor indicated that this was his bottom line, with no room for negotiation.
Such actions were indeed an extrely risky move.
Yet, to achieve his goal and safeguard his greatest interests, he had to openly display this psychological gambit.
Only in doing so would the Dragon Turtle, in order to achieve its own objectives, be forced to compromise in the end.
After all, ti was limited, and the opportunity was extrely rare.
If this opportunity was missed, who knows how long they'd have to wait for the next one.
Perhaps considering these points and seeing Lin Tianming's decisiveness and determination, the Dragon Turtle had to deliberate on this condition.
However, the value of the Nine-Turned Golden Lotus was too high, being a very rare treasure, and the Dragon Turtle was equally reluctant to part with any one of the petals.
So, in the face of Lin Tianming's conditions, although reluctant to miss the cooperation opportunity, the Dragon Turtle inevitably hesitated.
This was because the Nine-Turned Golden Lotus was too precious and rare, and its effects on the Dragon Turtle were also extrely significant.
The Dragon Turtle had painstakingly planned for this treasure for a long ti.
Now, Lin Tianming's demand for one-third of the gains at once was quite unexpected for the Dragon Turtle.
Thus, the Dragon Turtle hesitated for a mont.
Ultimately, it couldn't afford to give up much of its interests.
And yet, faced with Lin Tianming's conditions, the Dragon Turtle had no choice but to decide.
Under this pressing situation, the Dragon Turtle decisively said, "Young one, taking three petals at once is really too much for !"
