Jiang Fan sprang up in shock, overturning the table, exclaiming, "How much? One billion Crystal Stones?"

Hua Wuying was also stunned, saying, "The exchange rate for Top Grade, Mid-grade, and Low Grade Crystal Mines is one to ten."

"A single carrot, and you actually sold it to that old man for one billion Crystal Stones?"

"And he actually dared to buy it?"

"One sells, one buys—a super sly merchant and a super big sucker—you really met each other."

Jiang Fan was astonished repeatedly, saying, "In Taicang State, there aren’t many people who can afford one billion Crystal Stones, right?"

Hua Wuying shook his head: "There are quite a few."

"But those who would spend it on a carrot are very few."

Wow!

Jiang Fan clicked his tongue and said, "Merciful heavens, I really wasn’t trying to become a sly merchant this time."

Realizing he had conned a tough character.

Where would he dare stay here?

He decisively packed up and left.

Muttering under his breath: "I hope that red-faced old man doesn’t have any background."

Fire Worship Sect, Forbidden Land.

True Word Venerable wore a surprised expression:

"Senior, you actually found an item with Yin Qi from the Hell Realm?"

"Inconceivable, there’s actually someone selling this!"

The old man was indeed an elder of the Fire Worship Sect.

Background unclear, exceptionally terrifying strength.

He tossed the carrot onto the table, somewhat displeased: "The kid selling the stuff is a tough character."

"He charged me a Top Grade Crystal Mine."

Refining the Phoenix Feather Nine Flames Fan requires rich Yin Qi to suppress the earth fire.

This item is only found in the Hell Realm.

The old man couldn’t find it, so he went to the market for a stroll, and unexpectedly really found a piece.

True Word Venerable clicked his tongue slightly: "A Top Grade Crystal Mine? That’s indeed quite a bit."

"I’ll replenish it, senior."

The old man waved it off: "No matter, it’s just a Top Grade Crystal Mine, I can afford it."

"Just being charged a high price, a bit uncomfortable."

"Alright, let’s begin refining."

He was about to get up to go to the refining site.

The Sect Hierarch arrived excitedly with Qian Lan Fairy.

"Senior, Qian Lan Fairy found the item you need!"

The old man showed slight surprise.

Gazing at the carrot in Qian Lan Fairy’s hand, he felt quite relieved: "Did you also buy this?"

"You must be quite willing to spend."

While the old man could afford such a cost.

Qian Lan Fairy surely must’ve spent her entire fortune?

Turns out he wasn’t the only sucker.

Feeling much better now.

Qian Lan Fairy paused, saying: "Senior bought yours himself."

"Had I known, I wouldn’t have bought it."

"Let that brat profit a Low Grade Crystal Mine for nothing."

She looked disappointed.

Thought she snagged a great deal, hoping to curry favor with the senior.

Who knew, the senior bought it too.

Wasted so much money.

Huh?

The old man was stunned for a moment, asked: "How much did you spend?"

True Word Venerable also looked surprised.

No, the senior said he spent a Top Grade Crystal Mine.

Qian Lan Fairy only spent a Low Grade Crystal Mine?

The price difference is a hundredfold.

The disparity is too big, right?

Qian Lan Fairy paused for a moment, saying: "A Low Grade Crystal Mine, what’s the matter, senior?"

The old man’s whole body started to tremble.

Looking at his carrot, then at the carrot in Qian Lan Fairy’s hand.

The exact same carrot, that little sly merchant charged him a hundred times the price!

"You little bastard! Unreasonable!"

"I don’t mind being charged a few times, but a hundred times, damn it?"

"Did you grow up drinking ink?"

"How can you be so sly?"

He furiously snatched the carrot from Qian Lan Fairy’s hand, shouting non-stop: "Let’s go!"

"Come with me to settle accounts with that little sly merchant!"

The entire scene was silent.

Even True Word Venerable was stunned: "This...this is indeed too over the top."

"Even a Sage probably couldn’t bear it."

She quickly followed, to prevent the senior from tearing that little sly merchant apart in his anger.

The Fire Worship Sect Leader and Qian Lan Fairy were sweating profusely.

Actually infuriated the Divinity Transformation Venerable into a rage!

Qian Lan Fairy’s expression changed, hurriedly chasing after, panicking: "You brat, you’ve stirred up a big trouble!"

"How dare you con the Divinity Transformation Venerable?"

"And at such an outrageous level?"

Fortunately.

When she arrived there, Jiang Fan had already sensed danger and fled in advance.

She couldn’t help but exhale: "This brat is clever."

"You’d better leave the Fire Worship Sect quickly, never to return in this lifetime."

"The Venerable will remember you for life."

The old man stared at the vacant stall, so angry his lungs were about to explode.

"Damn brat! Slyly charged me a Top Grade Crystal Mine and ran?"

"Ah! I’m so furious!"

Suddenly.

He noticed Qian Lan Fairy chasing over too, immediately squinting his old eyes, moving forward to question: "Do you know him?"

"What’s his name?"

Qian Lan Fairy was suddenly flustered, wanting to lie, but facing the Venerable’s gaze, couldn’t utter a single false word.

"His name is Jiang Fan."

Jiang Fan, is it?

The old man gritted his teeth and repeated the name three times.

Then forcibly suppressed his anger, shouted to the True Word Venerable in the distance: "Leave the boy aside for now."

"You’re pressed for time, after refining the artifact, I’ll leisurely find him!"

True Word Venerable showed slight delight.

Immediately followed the old man into the Fire Worship Sect’s artifact refining chamber.

The old man quickly calmed down, took out the blueprint to examine it, nodded: "It’s indeed the blueprint for the Phoenix Feather Nine Flames Fan."

"This person drew it very detailed, even marked several details, it shows he’s a meticulous person."

True Word Venerable recalled Jiang Fan using Mute Zen to make eye contact with her while pretending to pour tea.

Completing the connection under the eyes of Evil Crow Venerable.

She couldn’t help but agree: "He’s indeed a meticulous person."

Recalling his request, True Word Venerable tried to probe: "Senior, this person wishes to refine a Top-grade Spirit Sword."

"Can you help him?"

The old man tersely said: "My physical state, refining a Top-grade Spiritual Artifact for you is my limit."

"Can’t refine another artifact for someone else."

Though knowing it’s just an excuse, True Word Venerable couldn’t press further.

The senior indeed had physical issues.

She sighed slightly: "Alright, I’ll compensate him in another way."

Oh?

The old man picked up the undertone: "You value him so much? Even want to compensate him."

True Word Venerable hesitated slightly, then briefly explained the day’s events.

After hearing, the old man showed disdain: "In the face of the Ancient Giant, internal strife arose, better he dies under Heavenly Person Decline."

"As for this kid, he’s indeed clever and knows to repay kindness."

"If his aptitude is good, why don’t you accept him as a disciple?"

"Oh, forgot, you’re not in a position to accept disciples anymore."

"Then send him to the Fire Worship Sect, I’ll find a powerful elder to take him in."

True Word Venerable expressed gratitude: "Then I’ll thank you on behalf of Jiang Fan."

The old man chuckled: "No problem, just making full use of talent..."

"Wait a minute!"

"What did you say his name was again?"
