"Haha, Brother Cang Yun sure is straightforward."

When he saw that Cang Yun had finally nodded his head, Dongfang Chen laughed heartily. Joy was written all over his face.

"You know me?" However, when he heard Dongfang Chen's words, Cang Yun was momentarily stunned. He was a bit confused; he clearly remembered that he didn't announce his name, right?

"Heh, I've heard of the Vastheaven World Origin Skill that you used before. In addition to that, you have the cultivation of the third layer of the Secret Treasure, so you're able to break my Soul Seal. I'm guessing that only Cang Yun, the number one genius of the Immortal Yang Spiritual Academy, can accomplish something like this, right?" Dongfang Chen smiled faintly and explained.

"So that's how it is." Cang Yun suddenly understood. In his heart, he felt admiration for the youth in front of him. Having such meticulous thoughts at this age was not something that ordinary people could do.

"Let's discuss the distribution before we make a move, shall we?" Dongfang Chen smiled faintly.

"No problem." Cang Yun nodded.

"Then let me first tell you my thoughts. According to my observations, there are eight Blood Origin Fruits on the Blood Origin Tree, four for each of us. As for the Blood Origin Tree, I hope that Brother Cang can bear with it and give it to me. Instead of the arrogance of a great clan, his tone was that of a good friend. It had greatly enhanced the good impression of Cang Yun and the others.

However, Cang Yun did not immediately respond. Instead, he asked in doubt, "According to what I know, the Dongfang family uses cultivation of the soul as their main cultivation method, and this Blood Origin Fruit is an auxiliary cultivation source martial artist. Why would Brother Dongfang set your eyes on this Blood Origin Tree?"

"Since Brother Cang knows that the Dongfang family is famous for their method of soul cultivation in Qingzhou, do you know why this is the case?" Dongfang Chen said with a smile.

"Isn't it because of the talents of the nobles? Could there be more hidden secrets?" Cang Yun blinked his eyes as he asked in confusion.

"Yes, but not either." Under Cang Yun's puzzled gaze, Dongfang Chen smiled lightly and explained, "Cultivating the soul indeed requires a high innate talent. However, our Dongfang family is famous for it, and we don't rely entirely on the innate talents of our clansmen. Otherwise, with that probability of one-in-a-million, how could there be so many soul cultivators in our family?"

"What's that?" Cang Yun nodded, seeming to understand a bit of what Dongfang Chen meant.

"This is not a big secret. Our Dongfang family has a miraculous' Soul Pool ', which can greatly increase the talent of a person's soul, but all the clansmen who were born will enter inside to refine their soul, which is why the Dongfang family has so many cultivators."

The smile on his handsome face also became bitter. He then continued, "However, while this' Soul Pool 'gives great benefits to the Dongfang Family, it also has a huge drawback. Anyone who has gone through the process of tempering their soul in the Soul Pool will have their blood source energy weakened greatly. As a result, those who fail to awaken their soul cultivation talent will not only be unable to cultivate the method, they will also lose all of their talent in cultivation as well. So, the value of this blood source tree to the Dongfang Family, I presume I don't need to say anything more."

"So that's how it is." Cang Yun nodded in understanding. He immediately understood why Dongfang Chen valued the Blood Origin Tree so much. After all, this was his second chance to train in it, and it was indeed too important for some of his clansmen.

"I can give you the Blood Origin Tree." Cang Yun pondered for a moment, and said, "However, I feel that the condition you put forward before was not very fair. Exchanging the priority of a purple-gold cub for a Blood Origin Tree, isn't that a little unreasonable?"

"That's just a suggestion from me. Whatever conditions Brother Cang has, of course, you can raise them. As long as it's within a reasonable range, I think I'll accept it." As if he had already expected Cang Yun to say something like this, Dongfang Chen smiled.

Cang Yun thought for a moment, then said, "I've heard that the soul skills of the Dongfang family are peerless, would it be possible to obtain one for exchange?"

Soul skills were similar to Origin Skills used by martial practitioners. The former was a martial skill used by cultivators. For example, the martial skill that Dongfang Chen used to attack Cang Yun and the others had been created by using soul skills to activate the soul imprint.

"Soul skill, what do you want this for?" Dongfang Chen was startled, but he immediately guessed what had happened. He stared at Cang Yun as a glint flashed through his deep eyes. "Could it be …"

"Brother Dongfang, I'm not hiding anything from you. A few days ago, I also tried some soul cultivation techniques, and I was lucky enough to succeed." Cang Yun smiled slightly. With a thought, a soul imprint that contained this obscure fluctuation appeared in front of him.

"As expected!" A strange light flashed within Dongfang Chen's black eyes when he saw the soul imprint that Cang Yun released. After a while, he calmed down and praised, "Brother Cang is indeed worthy of being the number one genius of the Immortal Yang Spiritual Academy!"

However, the two of them knew that the current situation was not suitable for them to ask any further, so they could only take a deep look at the tall and straight figure in front of them, and immediately buried their excitement deep within their hearts.

"Brother Dongfang, you flatter me. I only formed a soul imprint. It's not worth mentioning." In the face of the peculiar gazes from the crowd, Cang Yun was rather indifferent as he gently chuckled and said.

"What about this soul skill?"

"This …" Dongfang Chen's eyes flickered for a while, as if he was thinking about something. After a while, he nodded and said, "I can give you a soul skill, but I also have a small request."

"Go ahead." Cang Yun was slightly excited in his heart. However, his expression was as calm as usual as he replied.

Therefore, our Dongfang family's collection has never been made public. If I hand the soul skill over to Brother Cang, I hope you can promise not to pass it on to anyone else. Otherwise, my family will definitely not agree to this matter. Dong Fang Chen said in an extremely serious and sincere manner.

"No problem, I can promise you that." Cang Yun thought for a moment and agreed without hesitation. There weren't any other people who cultivated Soul Arts among the people he knew, so this request wasn't much.

"Alright, I'll leave this soul skill to you. Wishing us a happy cooperation?" Dongfang Chen laughed heartily and immediately handed over a jade slip.

"Brother Dongfang, you trust me so much. Aren't you afraid that I'll go back on my word after I get my soul skill?" Cang Yun received the jade slip and after scanning through it to confirm that there was no mistake, he asked with some surprise.

"You wouldn't and you wouldn't." Eastern Chen smiled slightly and didn't say anything more.

Cang Yun smiled as well. From Dong Fang Chen's kind smile, he could read the latter's meaning. The first sentence was trust, and the second was confidence.

Such a person was worth getting to know.

"Happy cooperation."
