He looked at the Saint Crystal and asked, "How much for this?"
Qiqi said, "Ten thousand Daqian Divine Coins, or a World Artifact."
Pfft!
What?
A World Artifact?
Jiang Fan stared at her with wide eyes, "Are you crazy with poverty?"
"No matter how precious the Saint Crystal is, it canât compare to a World Artifact!"
How many World Artifacts are there in Central Earth?
Itâs absolutely impossible to exchange a World Artifact for a Saint Crystal.
The so-called Saint Crystal is probably similar to Hell Abyss Crystal.
Both are crystallizations of the entire cultivation of a fallen Saint Realm, the difference being one is from the Angel Clanâs Saint Realm, the other from the Hell Realmâs Saint Realm.
They are very precious, but not enough to be on par with a World Artifact.
Qiqi wasnât surprised at Jiang Fanâs shock and said:
"Rare commodities are valuable. I never sell ordinary things, only what others urgently need, so they are very expensive."
"For example, a bottle of water, sold to someone without food and drink worries, is only worth the price of a bottle of water."
"But sold to someone dying of thirst in the desert, itâs worth all his wealth."
"This Saint Crystal, if you urgently need it, even ten World Artifacts would be reasonable."
"If you donât need it urgently, itâs not even worth a top-grade Spiritual Artifact."
Jiang Fan rubbed his temples.
What a crafty merchant!
He waved his hand, "I donât need it for now."
Qiqi pouted slightly, took the Saint Crystal back, and asked, "So what do you urgently need?"
Jiang Fan thought for a moment and said seriously, "Do you have anything to restore the usage of Human Domain?"
Qiqi replied without hesitation, "Of course, I do!"
"My main purpose this time is to sell this!"
"Once the Ancient Blood Demon Beast Tide starts, no oneâs Domain and talent will be enough."
She tapped on a golden treasure chest, and a small ring filled with the aura of laws appeared.
At first glance, it looked like a small Divine Ring.
"One is enough to replenish a Divine Ring."
Jiang Fanâs heart stirred, "How is it sold?"
Qiqiâs eyes lit up with a smile, "Seems like you really need it urgently."
"Then itâs one Daqian Divine Coin, or a top-grade Spiritual Artifact."
A top-grade Spiritual Artifact?
Jiang Fanâs chest felt congested!
Under normal circumstances, who would be crazy enough to trade a top-grade Spiritual Artifact to restore Domain usage?
Something that can slowly recover the next day isnât worth much.
Indeed, as Qiqi said, the value of goods depends on need.
He gritted his teeth, "Alright, letâs go with a top-grade Spiritual Artifact."
"But, are you certain my Domain usage can be restored?"
He immediately grew concerned again.
Others have ordinary Divine Rings, but his is the Ancestor Dao Divine Ring!
If he buys it with pain, only for it not to replenish, wouldnât he be at a huge loss?
Qiqi simply thought Jiang Fan was doubting the power of the treasure and said:
"This was personally crafted by a Sage, containing the Power of Laws, replenishing a Domain of the Divinity Transformation Realm is a piece of cake."
Seeing Jiang Fan still frowning, she said, "If youâre really worried, letâs sign a contract."
She deftly took out a scroll, with pre-written promises on it, stating that if violated, the Power of Laws in the contract would cut off the Divine Ring, demoting him to Nascent Soul.
As a crafty merchant, she had no choice but to use this strategy to earn customersâ trust.
Qiqi added a sentence on it: "Guarantee to replenish the Domain of Central Earthâs Jiang Fan."
Then she signed her name on it.
The contract scroll immediately emitted a halo containing laws, enveloping Qiqi.
If violated, she would suffer backlash.
Jiang Fan sensed the contract scroll and confirmed it seemed valid, before reluctantly taking out the Soul-Suppressing Buddha Beads.
As a top-grade Spiritual Artifact of Buddhism, Jiang Fan couldnât wield it to its full potential.
Moreover, he had stronger Soul Attack methods now.
The suppressing ability of the Soul-Suppressing Buddha Beads was no longer of much use.
"A Magical Treasure from Buddhism? Itâs rare, a true rare commodity."
"Alright, Iâll accept it!"
Qiqi nodded with satisfaction, then with a flick, the small Divine Ring in her hand flew into Jiang Fanâs nape.
She took the Soul-Suppressing Buddha Beads with a giggle, "The dealâs done!"
However, she frowned and found that the Contract Law on her hadnât dissipated.
She blinked her big eyes, "Whatâs going on?"
"Once the transaction is complete, the contract scroll should automatically become void, why is it still here?"
"I took the Soul-Suppressing Buddha Beads, and your Domain was replenished, itâs already clear..."
"Cough, cough..."
Jiang Fan coughed dryly and said, "My Domain isnât replenished yet."
What was expected happened after all, the Ancestor Dao Divine Ring was harder to replenish than ordinary Divine Rings.
Fortunately, he prepared in advance, passing the blame to Qiqi.
"How is that possible?"
Qiqi looked surprised. She traveled far and wide and had seen countless Divine Rings.
How could there be a Domain that couldnât be replenished by the laws of a Sage?
However, the Contract Law wouldnât lie.
Jiang Fanâs Domain indeed hasnât recovered.
Unwillingly, she took out another small Divine Ring and said, "Seems I misjudged."
Flicking it again, the small Divine Ring was flicked into Jiang Fanâs nape.
Thinking it should be over by now?
Yet, she stood there dazed when she found the Contract Law still present.
She looked at Jiang Fan in disbelief, "Youâre not going to tell me the Domain still hasnât recovered, are you?"
Jiang Fan shrugged, "Isnât it obvious?"
"You... I..." Qiqi opened her mouth but didnât know what to say at the moment.
She could only take out the third small Divine Ring and threw it hard at Jiang Fanâs nape, "This time it should be over, right?"
What stunned her was that the Contract Law was still in effect.
"Broad daylight, ghosts! Three laws canât fill a small Divinity Transformation Realmâs Domain?"
She took out two more small Divine Rings and threw them over together.
Yet, the Contract Law remained unchanged.
"I... I donât believe this!"
She pulled out five at once and threw them, but to her astonishment, the Contract Law stood unyielding.
She stood there for a full ten breaths of time, then lost herself saying, "Where did it go wrong?"
Jiang Fan was also somewhat surprised.
It shouldnât be like this, ten rings already, yet still not replenished?
Even with the Ancestor Dao, it shouldâve been filled.
Looking at the life-questioning Qiqi, Jiang Fan dryly coughed, reminding her:
"Senior Qiqi, resting enough?"
Qiqi snapped back and gave Jiang Fan a hard glare:
"Alright! I have to see how much your Domain can consume!!"
She took out as many as forty Divine Rings and threw them one by one at Jiang Fanâs nape.
One, two, three.
Four, five, six...
Until twenty, the Contract Law still persisted.
Qiqiâs palms started to tremble; sheâs at her witâs end!
But she could only grit her teeth and continue.
Finally, after thirty.
Qiqi couldnât hold it in anymore and cried up to the sky, "Boo hoo hoo, I donât want to play anymore!"
A total of forty small Divine Rings were used.
Out of the fifty she originally brought, only ten were left.
The dream of getting rich shattered!
Jiang Fan wouldnât believe her tears and reminded, "Hey, hey, hey, be careful or the Contract Law will demote you to Nascent Soul Realm."
"Hurry up, keep it coming."
Qiqi wiped her tears, "Brother, let me go."
"I beg you to terminate the contract voluntarily, consider the forty rings as a gift from your sister, will you?"
"Please, I even called you brother."
