Ye Tian had been studying under Patriarch Bodhi for quite some time. During this period, Patriarch Bodhi had taught him several transformation techniques, and Ye Tian had successfully mastered them.
However, it seemed that Patriarch Bodhi was holding back. He only taught Ye Tian fifty types of transformations before stopping.
"Patriarch Bodhi, why aren't you teaching me more transformation techniques?"
"Heh, Ye Tian, I'll be participating in this Golden List Livestream as well. This time, the ranking is for transformations. If I teach you all my transformation techniques, wouldn't you end up knowing more than me? I'm not that foolish."
"You're going back on your word! You took my Arhat Overturning Seal, and that's no cheap treasure!"
"I did accept it, but after thinking it over, the Arhat Overturning Seal is originally a technique belonging to the Dragon Subduing Arhat. Even if I learn it, I can't use it freely. Otherwise, if the Dragon Subduing Arhat finds out, wouldn't he come after me and tear me apart? So, despite its power, the technique has its drawbacks. Considering that, I've already been quite generous in teaching you fifty transformations. You should be grateful!"
"Hmph, you're ruthless. But aren't you afraid I'll make a move against you here? If I do, no one can stop me!"
But Patriarch Bodhi only chuckled. "Don't think I'm afraid of you. Look around—whose territory do you think this is? This is my domain. If you try to act recklessly here, my disciples could drown you with their spit alone!"
"Hah, using numbers to bully the weak?"
"That's exactly it. What can you do about it?"
It was clear that Patriarch Bodhi had no intention of being reasonable. Ye Tian glared at him and said, "Fine, I'll remember this. One day, I'll make you pay for it. We'll see who gets the last laugh!"
With that, Ye Tian left Bodhi Cave.
Having learned only fifty transformations, Ye Tian felt that it wasn't enough. Patriarch Bodhi had taught Sun Wukong the full Seventy-Two Transformations, yet Ye Tian didn't even have that many techniques!
"I need to find another way to master more transformation techniques."
But how? This was a difficult problem. No one was willing to teach him transformations so easily unless he offered something valuable in exchange.
"Transformation techniques…"
Ye Tian suddenly thought of someone—none other than Sun Wukong's sworn brother, the Bull Demon King!
The Bull Demon King also knew many transformation techniques. Though he wasn't as skilled as Sun Wukong, learning from him could still improve Ye Tian's abilities.
"Yes, I'll go find the Bull Demon King!"
Having made up his mind, Ye Tian immediately headed to the Bull Demon King's lair. However, as he arrived at the entrance, a small bull demon blocked his way.
"Hey, where did you come from? Get lost!"
"I'm here to meet the Bull Demon King. Could you inform him for me?"
"No way! Do you think our lord is someone you can just meet whenever you want? Get out of here and stop causing trouble!"
Ye Tian wasn't about to leave so easily. He smiled at the little bull demon and said, "Here, take this and pass on my message. Tell him I want to make a deal."
Ye Tian took out a gleaming gold ingot.
The little bull demon's eyes lit up at the sight of money and grinned. "Heh, fine, I'll report to him."
Ye Tian thought to himself that money was useful in any world. If money could make even ghosts work for you, convincing a little bull demon was even easier.
Meanwhile, inside the lair, the Bull Demon King was flirting with a young girl while Iron Fan Princess was away. The girl was stunning, but upon closer inspection, she wasn't human—she was some kind of demon, radiating demonic energy.
At that moment, the little bull demon rushed in.
"Lord, someone outside says they want to make a deal with you. I've come to report it."
"A deal? What kind of deal?"
"I don't know, but I think you should see him. He's dressed quite impressively—not an ordinary person."
"Interesting. Let him in!"
Soon, Ye Tian was led into the lair. Seeing the Bull Demon King, he said, "I want to make a deal with you. Are you interested?"
The Bull Demon King was surprised. It was Ye Tian! He was a well-known figure in the Golden List Livestream. Every time the rankings were announced, Ye Tian always secured a spot.
"That's right, I'm Ye Tian."
"Why have you come to see me?"
"As I said, I want to make a deal with you."
"What kind of deal? Speak!"
"The next Golden List Livestream is about to start, but there's a one-month preparation period. I want to use this time to learn more transformation techniques to improve my ranking. I heard that you know quite a few transformations. Would you be willing to teach me some?"
The Bull Demon King was taken aback. So Ye Tian had come to learn transformation techniques from him! He snorted and said, "You want to learn transformation techniques from me? I do know some, but I won't teach you. Don't forget that Sun Wukong is also participating in the Golden List. If your transformations surpass his, how could I face my sworn brother?"
"As I said, I'm here to make a deal. If I offer something valuable enough, I'm sure you'll be willing to trade."
"Oh? And what could you possibly offer that would make me interested?"
Ye Tian flipped his hand, revealing a small box. Opening it, he revealed a smooth, radiant pill. Thɪs chapter is updated by novel⸺fire.net
At that moment, Ye Tian spoke.
"This is a Creation Pill. If you agree to teach me some transformation techniques, this pill is yours."
"What? A Creation Pill?!"
The Bull Demon King's eyes widened, fixed on the pill with an intense gaze. He was tempted. Just as he reached out to grab it, Ye Tian swiftly pulled it back.
"If you want it, you'll have to trade your transformation techniques for it. What do you say?"
"I only know about ten transformations. Are you sure you still want to learn them?"
"Of course! As long as you teach me, the Creation Pill is yours!"
Ye Tian dangled the box in front of him, making the Bull Demon King even more tempted.
