Chapter 315: Spirit Stone Acquisition

Patriarch Ji Zhen was startled… He clearly had not expected that Sect Master Wu Xinjue and the others would fly into a rage on the spot.

It was not just Sect Master Wu Xinjue; Patriarch Ji Zhen also noticed that Sect Master Xu Yongnian and Kong Ping, who were standing nearby, wore equally cold expressions…

"This… Brother Wu, please do not misunderstand."

Patriarch Ji Zhen cupped his hands, forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart.

Offending these few people right before him within the territory of the Jixian Sect was clearly not a smart move.

Sect Master Wu Xinjue let out a cold snort and demanded, "In my Jixian Sect, you threaten my Disciple, and you call this a misunderstanding? Do you take me for deaf!"

Patriarch Ji Zhen clearly had not expected that Sect Master Wu Xinjue would continue to harp on this matter.

"A misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. Brother Wu, please do not get angry; it is not worth it for such a trivial matter."

Patriarch Ji Zhen spoke with a fawning smile on his face, his attitude completely opposite to what it had been a moment ago…

Although the Ji Family was strong, it was still far inferior compared to the Jixian Sect.

Even if his Ji Family had an Old Ancestor in the Pi Hai Realm, it was not enough to be considered a threat.

After all, the foundation of the Jixian Sect was too profound, far beyond what his Ji Family could compare to.

Upon hearing this, Sect Master Wu Xinjue's expression softened slightly.

Sect Master Xu Yongnian and Kong Ping stood to the side, still wearing cold expressions and remaining silent.

Seeing this, Patriarch Ji Zhen exhaled, realizing at this moment that something was not right.

If it were an ordinary Disciple, why would Sect Master Wu Xinjue and the others have such a strong reaction?

At the same time, he took a look at Xiao Fan, who was standing there with a calm expression, showing no signs of fear on his face.

He had come in a hurry, did not understand Xiao Fan at all, and had not investigated him.

It was just that Ji Bofeng had briefly described him in a Jade Slip.

The surprise attack on Ji Bofeng inside the Secret Realm… as well as all the evil deeds Xiao Fan had done to him… caused Patriarch Ji Zhen to misjudge the status Xiao Fan held in the hearts of Sect Master Wu Xinjue and the others.

As for Xiao Fan's cultivation, he was currently at the Great Perfection of the Middle Stage of the first level of the Tongtian Realm… two minor Realms lower than Ji Bofeng. If he launched a surprise attack, he could still pose a threat to Ji Bofeng.

He had no idea that back in the Secret Realm, Xiao Fan's strength was only at the Middle Stage of the ninth level of the Transcendent Realm.

And yet he could go head-to-head against Ji Bofeng, who was at the third level of the Tongtian Realm!

Of course, he also did not know that Xiao Fan possessed an Enlightenment Seed!

If his Ji Family really wanted to make a move against Xiao Fan, it might even draw out the Ancestor of Jixian Sect to take action…

Patriarch Ji Zhen let out a breath; he decided to handle this matter in a different way…

Now that Sect Master Wu Xinjue and the others were here, it was absolutely impossible to threaten Xiao Fan or force him to hand over the Cultivation Technique.

He had to change his approach.

The Azure Flame Art of the Ji Family must never remain outside.

"Xiao Fan, I was a bit impulsive with my words just now. Please do not be angry…"

Patriarch Ji Zhen's tone softened, and a fake smile hung on his face.

If the other party had been like this from the beginning, Xiao Fan would surely have thought that he was not a bad person.

But… now, he certainly would not think so.

He had felt the Killing Intent emanating from Patriarch Ji Zhen just moments ago all too clearly. If not for Sect Master Wu Xinjue and the others being present, he believed the other party would have already made a move.

Xiao Fan remained silent, standing straight and looking at Patriarch Ji Zhen coldly.

Ji Bofeng stood beside Patriarch Ji Zhen, so scared that he did not even dare to breathe loudly.

Patriarch Ji Zhen's anger earlier had scared him half to death… Then Sect Master Wu Xinjue had gotten angry too, which scared him quite a bit as well…

Sect Master Wu Xinjue and the others also had no intention of speaking, just watching silently…

Xiao Fan ignored him, causing Patriarch Ji Zhen's face to flush slightly with embarrassment, but he still braced himself and spoke:

"Xiao Fan, this Azure Flame Art is very important to my Ji Family. How about this: since you won it, how about my Ji Family buys it back with Spirit Stone?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Fan was taken aback… "How many Spirit Stone?" Xiao Fan asked…

He had already learned the Azure Flame Art, so the Jade Slip was useless in his hands. If he could sell it to the Ji Family for a sum of Spirit Stone, it would be a great idea, and he would not lose out at all.

"Hmm… Fifty thousand Spirit Stone, how about it?" After a moment of thought, Patriarch Ji Zhen offered fifty thousand Spirit Stone.

If it were an ordinary practitioner in the Tongtian Realm, they would surely be incredibly excited upon hearing fifty thousand Spirit Stone… But… Xiao Fan was someone who had seen Spirit Stone; he did not care about a mere fifty thousand Spirit Stone.

He currently possessed over a million Spirit Stone in his personal wealth; why would he care about this measly fifty thousand Spirit Stone?

"Heh." Xiao Fan sneered, remaining silent.

Sect Master Wu Xinjue, Sect Master Xu Yongnian, and Kong Ping knew just how deep Xiao Fan's pockets were. After all, he had robbed so many Outer Sect Disciple inside the Secret Realm… Could he possibly be short on money?

Ji Bofeng knew this too. Xiao Fan's net worth was higher than even that of an ordinary person in the Xuandan Realm.

He wanted to inform his grandfather, but his cultivation was not yet at the Xuandan Realm, so he could not transmit his voice at all…

Seeing Xiao Fan's reaction, Patriarch Ji Zhen was stunned… He felt that he had still underestimated the other party.

At the same time, he was also pondering whether there was a major clan with the surname Xiao in Wuhuang Province… Judging by Xiao Fan's demeanor and courage, as well as the attitude Sect Master Wu Xinjue and the others held toward him, he was certainly no ordinary person.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Patriarch Ji Zhen spoke once again. "One hundred thousand Spirit Stone, how about it?" This time, Patriarch Ji Zhen added another fifty thousand.

One hundred thousand Spirit Stone was not a small amount. In fact, even if most small families in the outside world sold off their entire foundation, it would not be worth one hundred thousand Spirit Stone.

Yet, Xiao Fan remained unmoved. His expression was as calm as water.

Seeing this… Patriarch Ji Zhen knew the other party was still unwilling. So, he gritted his teeth hard. "Two hundred thousand Spirit Stone! How about that!"
