Chapter 316: A Deal for Six Hundred Thousand Spirit Stones

Two hundred thousand Spirit Stones was certainly not a small amount.

This was equivalent to the entire net worth of an ordinary Xuandan Realm Cultivator.

Even Ji Bofeng, who was standing to the side, was startled…

Two hundred thousand Spirit Stones…

Sect Master Wu Xinjue and the others still hadn't spoken, but their gazes were all fixed on Xiao Fan.

It was up to Xiao Fan to decide how to handle this matter.

Xiao Fan raised an eyebrow; exchanging a Cultivation Technique he had already learned for two hundred thousand Spirit Stones.

This transaction was an absolute steal…

If it had been earlier, and Patriarch Ji Zhen had come to speak nicely, he would have agreed to it for fifty thousand Spirit Stones.

But now…

Xiao Fan glanced at Patriarch Ji Zhen but didn't say anything.

He turned around, bowed to Sect Master Wu Xinjue and the others, and said:

"Sect Master Wu, Sect Master Xu, Elder Kong, if there is nothing else, this Disciple will take his leave."

The three of them were taken aback…

They all understood Xiao Fan's intention. They each gave a bitter smile internally, but showed no reaction on the surface.

Sect Master Wu Xinjue nodded and said in a deep voice: "Nothing else, you may leave."

"Yes."

Xiao Fan acknowledged and made a move to turn and leave.

Patriarch Ji Zhen saw this and was immediately stunned…

"Xiao Fan, wait!!"

Patriarch Ji Zhen shouted and blocked Xiao Fan.

It was a small matter if the other party left, but the Azure Flame Art hadn't been left behind yet.

The Ji Family's Cultivation Technique could not be leaked…

On one hand, it was because the importance of the Azure Flame Art to the Ji Family was self-evident.

On the other hand, it was for Ji Bofeng's sake.

After all, Ji Bofeng was his own grandson, and because of this matter, many elders within the Ji Family were already dissatisfied with him.

This would affect Ji Bofeng's status within the Family in the future.

Therefore, even if the cost was higher, he had to retrieve the Azure Flame Art to settle this matter.

Xiao Fan stopped, looked back at Patriarch Ji Zhen, and said: "I wonder what else you need of me?"

Patriarch Ji Zhen's face turned livid; did he even need to ask?

Of course, it was for the Azure Flame Art!

He could also see that Xiao Fan had a huge appetite, and his behavior showed absolutely no signs of panic…

He was definitely someone who had seen the world.

He immediately said in a deep voice: "Xiao Fan, name your price. How many Spirit Stones do you want to sell the Azure Flame Art for?"

His tone was low as he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart…

Xiao Fan naturally didn't intend to really leave; it was just a tactic of advancing by retreating to scare the other party.

Xiao Fan pondered for a moment and said: "The Ji Family's Azure Flame Art has been famous in Wuhuang Province for countless years and is incomparably powerful. This Junior worked hard to obtain this Cultivation Technique, but… since you, Senior, want to take it back, although this Junior is unwilling… I can only agree."

Xiao Fan first praised the value of the Azure Flame Art, then indicated his agreement.

This made Patriarch Ji Zhen's expression soften quite a bit.

But the expression that had just softened froze immediately because of Xiao Fan's next words…

"The Ji Family's Azure Flame Art is famous throughout Wuhuang Province. If this Disciple asks for too little, I fear it would be an insult to the prestige of the Azure Flame Art. How about this, Senior: if you pay one million Spirit Stones, this Junior will return the Azure Flame Art. How does that sound?"

Upon hearing this…

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly turned cold.

One million!

Even the three, including Sect Master Wu Xinjue, hadn't expected Xiao Fan to have such a huge appetite.

This was extortion…

And to extort a Yuanhun Realm expert so openly!

The three of them now had a more intuitive understanding of Xiao Fan's audacity.

"What! One million!"

Patriarch Ji Zhen was also startled.

One million Spirit Stones…

This was not a small number for the Ji Family.

Even ordinary Xuandan Realm experts didn't have such net worth.

Yet the other party dared to ask for one million right off the bat.

Ji Bofeng was also startled…

Xiao Fan's appetite was truly shockingly large.

"Senior, did I say something wrong? Is the Ji Family's Azure Flame Art not worth one million?"

Xiao Fan asked with a smile, his face showing no signs of panic.

"You…"

This question angered Patriarch Ji Zhen significantly; how could he answer that?

He wanted to get angry, but because of what happened before, he forcibly held it back.

"One million is too much. Fifty thousand Spirit Stones."

"Eight hundred thousand… I can't go any lower."

"You… Six hundred thousand!"

"Deal!"

The two of them haggled…

And quickly settled the matter.

Was it worth it to retrieve the Azure Flame Art for six hundred thousand Spirit Stones?

It was hard to say.

After all, the Azure Flame Art was neither the original copy nor a complete Cultivation Technique.

However, it avoided the risk of the Family's Cultivation Technique leaking out, and at the same time preserved Ji Bofeng's status within the Family.

That was enough.

Six hundred thousand…

Patriarch Ji Zhen felt heartbroken, but he gritted his teeth, took out a Storage Pouch, and tossed it to Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan caught it, and a look of joy immediately appeared on his face…

Six hundred thousand Spirit Stones, exactly the right amount.

He didn't hesitate either, immediately taking out the Azure Flame Art Jade Slip and tossing it to Patriarch Ji Zhen.

Money in one hand, goods in the other.

We are even.

Xiao Fan was delighted; he felt the Ji Family were all good people.

Ji Bofeng gifted him the Cultivation Technique, and after he learned it, his grandfather spent six hundred thousand Spirit Stones to buy it back…

A joyful expression appeared on Xiao Fan's face, and he smiled like a blooming flower.

Sect Master Wu Xinjue and the other two watched, dumbfounded.

Is making money really this easy?

He directly extorted six hundred thousand Spirit Stones from the Ji Family!

Xiao Fan cupped his hands at Patriarch Ji Zhen and said with a smile: "If there is nothing else, Senior, this Junior will take his leave."

He was in a great mood at the moment and didn't care about the unpleasantness between him and Patriarch Ji Zhen earlier.

Patriarch Ji Zhen said coldly: "This Cultivation Technique has now been retrieved by my Ji Family, but… you must not leak the content you saw inside the Jade Slip later, do you understand? Otherwise…"

This was already a naked threat.

However, the three, including Sect Master Wu Xinjue, had no intention of speaking up at this moment.

After all, Xiao Fan had gained a huge advantage.

Xiao Fan agreed very readily: "Rest assured, Senior, I will definitely not leak this Cultivation Technique."

Patriarch Ji Zhen nodded; in reality, he was just taking precautions.

It couldn't be traced or copied, and the content within the Azure Flame Art was complex and difficult to understand.

He had arrived very timely, so the possibility of this Cultivation Technique leaking out was not high.

He had no idea that Xiao Fan had actually already learned the Azure Flame Art.

If he knew, he might be so angry that he would vomit blood.

He had given the other party six hundred thousand Spirit Stones for nothing.
