Chapter 1954: Chapter 1997: Immortal Binding Vine Mutation

I originally thought it had been taken by some explorer from the past ten thousand years.

Finding it would be harder than finding a needle in a haystack.

Never did I expect it to be in the hands of that old dog Compassion, and moreover, inside a Space Storage Device!

Jiang Fan was secretly ecstatic.

Another World Artifact acquired!

But he couldn’t show it, otherwise, even if Qiqi had to be cheeky, she would want to snatch the Crystal Stone away.

"Another remnant of a World Artifact?" Jiang Fan said, stroking his chin, "Then I’ll take this one."

"What if I get lucky and find another part of it?"

Qiqi was so annoyed that she stomped her foot repeatedly.

If only she hadn’t softened up earlier and allowed Jiang Fan to choose first!

Why couldn’t she just be a ruthless merchant? Why pretend to be a good person?

In this world, being a good person comes at a cost!

Qiqi wanted to cry but had no tears, glaring at Jiang Fan angrily: "I’m never cooperating with you to open a Space Storage Device again."

"I always end up losing out, hmph!"

Jiang Fan laughed, "Don’t worry, there’s another item waiting for you to open."

He took out a very heavy Space Storage Device, its surface covered with many cracks, as if it couldn’t withstand the pressure of what was inside.

Curious, Qiqi peered inside and was greeted by the sight of a Bronze Hall.

Just one look, and Qiqi gasped in shock, "Huh? A Saint’s palace?"

"You... you even dare to take a Saint’s palace?"

"How many lives do you have?"

Jiang Fan just smiled quietly.

So what about a palace, even a Saint can be tamed to behave by him, right?

"Would you dare to open this palace?"

"Who knows how many treasures are inside."

Unexpectedly, Qiqi refused without hesitation, "I haven’t lived enough yet."

"Who knows what dangers lurk inside a Saint’s palace, if something leaks out, you and I merely dying would be the least of our worries."

"It might wipe out the whole Taicang State."

Jiang Fan felt secretly disappointed, does Qiqi, with all her treasures, still dare not venture into a Saint’s palace on impulse?

He was hoping to absorb some of the Holy Power from within, to fully open Hua Xin’s palm, making it easier to take away that piece of Blood Ink.

"However, I might try it once I’m fully prepared."

Qiqi’s eyes lit up as she stared at the Space Storage Device, licking her lips.

Jiang Fan smiled slightly, "Agreed, as always, we’ll split it half and half."

With that, Qiqi showed her smile again, happily picking up Compassion Old Dog’s belongings.

Jiang Fan also picked up half.

The resources were extraordinarily abundant, enough to last all the Martial Artists in Taicang State for sixty years!

This was even after Qiqi had taken half, and they had lost quite a portion during the forced opening of storage devices.

The original number of resources in the Space Storage Device must have been astronomical.

"When a whale falls, all creatures flourish," is certainly not easily encapsulated by mere words.

"What other deals do you have?" Qiqi happily said, making this trip to Central Earth worthwhile.

Jiang Fan pondered for a while, then pointed to his forehead, saying:

"I’ve been branded by the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis from your Sin Realm, is there a way to remove it?"

Hmm?

Qiqi’s gaze grew serious, "How did he target you?"

"The Sin Realm has seven marquises in total, all old monsters who’ve reached the peak of the Three Calamities Realm thousands of years ago."

"Their strength is unfathomable, unmatched by newly advanced Three Calamities Realm others."

Jiang Fan showed a solemn expression.

He had already sensed as much.

The blood-red long spear sent across realms by the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis, along with the efforts of the Nine Prison Asura Emperor and the Nine-Day Giant Emperor of the Southern Heavenly Realm, had not managed to completely fend him off.

This showcased his terrifying power.

Jiang Fan asked in a deep voice, "Can the Seal be erased?"

Almost ten days had passed since the last assault from the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis, and he had almost managed to remove the dirty blood from the Blood Spear.

He could come after him again at any time!

And his branding enabled the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis to lock onto him across the vast void, leaving no room to escape.

Qiqi shook her head, "It can’t be erased."

"In essence, that brand is a law of the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis, and it can only be erased if someone else’s Power of Laws surpasses his."

"But..."

Just as Jiang Fan felt disappointed, Qiqi took out a pen, saying, "I can temporarily shield you from the Blood Seal."

"As long as the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis doesn’t come near you, he won’t be able to sense you."

"The shielding effect can last for a month."

Jiang Fan’s eyes lit up, "Then what are we waiting for?"

Qiqi extended her snow-white little palm, "Do you expect me to help for free?"

"Give me that World Artifact Crystal, and I’ll help you."

Hah?

She’s truly a little black merchant through and through, taking advantage of the situation at every turn!

Jiang Fan’s face darkened as he took out a Small Jade Bottle.

Inside was a drop of dirty blood.

As soon as he took it out, Qiqi reflexively bounced back in surprise, a face full of gravity, "The aura of a Dao Slave?"

"This... This is Asura Holy Blood polluted by the aura of a Dao Slave."

Jiang Fan tossed it to her, saying, "Hurry up and shield the Blood Seal for me."

Qiqi realized it, quickly grabbing the Small Jade Bottle, her face immediately lighting up with joy, "Your treasures are like water in a sponge, never running dry!"

Giggling, she pocketed the Little Black Bottle, and with her brush in hand, she approached Jiang Fan, drawing a transparent Flame Mark on his forehead.

"When the Blood Seal reacts, the Flame Mark will ignite first, releasing a unique aura to suppress the Blood Seal."

"The lifespan is only a month; hopefully, I can prepare enough to unlock the Saint’s palace by then."

"Otherwise, the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis would relentlessly haunt you."

Jiang Fan nodded, feeling much more at ease.

He had temporarily gotten rid of a significant threat.

Seeing Qiqi getting ready to leave, Jiang Fan said, "I’d like to pre-order some items for the next transaction."

Qiqi became interested, "What do you want?"

Jiang Fan said, "Power of Laws, different kinds of Power of Laws, I’ll take as much as you have!"

If it was truly as the remnant soul of the Holy Angel said, and Jiang Fan’s Ancestor Ring did not become a Virtuous, then he could only pursue the path of Body Refinement.

The countless kinds of laws required by the "Heavenly Separation Sutra" would need the help of a super merchant like Qiqi to be collected.

This would be a long-term transaction.

Qiqi was a bit surprised, not understanding why Jiang Fan needed so many types of laws, but as a merchant, she wouldn’t pry into her customers’ backgrounds.

"No problem, but what will you trade in return?"

"The Power of Laws is quite precious."

Jiang Fan was prepared, and with a thought, his consciousness entered the Xitu Medicine Garden.

Initially, he just wanted to take some Breath Soil out.

But upon scrutinizing the Medicine Garden, he realized it had undergone a transformation.

What he found was an acre-sized Medicine Garden, covered in purple vines, crowding out all the Spiritual Medicine transplanted from Yun He Li Xian, leaving almost no room for them to grow.

"What is this?" Jiang Fan was surprised as he followed the vines to find the source.

Finally, he traced it back to the side of the Fixed Seed.

"This is..." Jiang Fan recalled and smacked his forehead in realization, "Immortal Binding Vine!"

Back then, after weaving the Immortal Binding Vine into a rope, there was a small piece of the rootstock left, the size of a fingernail, which he had planted haphazardly into the Breath Soil.

At that time, he just wanted to see if it could be planted successfully.

Never had he imagined it would grow rampantly!

Moreover, it looked completely different from its original form!
