Chapter 989: Chapter 989: Gu Xin’er’s Enlightenment Teaching

Two are not enough?

The palace-dressed woman stiffened, saying: "Friend, two are already a lot."

"More than that, I really can’t afford."

Jiang Fan picked up the Identity Token.

Without a word, he sent out a message through it.

Seeing this, the palace-dressed woman hurriedly held Jiang Fan’s hand, and said: "Wait!"

"Three, then three! This is the price set by the Divinity Transformation old freaks."

"Any more than that, and I wouldn’t be able to give it even if I wanted to!"

Three?

Jiang Fan silently counted in his mind.

One for Liu Qingxian, one for Yue Mingzhu, one for Xia Chaoge, Liang Feiyan, Ren Guhong, Ye Banxia, and Nangong Xiaoyun, they wouldn’t have any.

"How about nine?" Jiang Fan boldly suggested.

The palace-dressed woman nearly fainted from anger: "Even the Divinity Transformation Venerables can’t come up with that many Sky Ascending Pills!"

But considering how the Space-Time Dust could extend her lifespan by sixty years.

It could be the key to her achieving Divinity Transformation.

Thinking again, even if she didn’t need it, she could still sell it to recoup some costs.

It seems... it might not be too much of a loss after all.

So she immediately began to bargain.

"Four! I would still need to find people to borrow from."

"Then how about eight?"

"Five! I’ll trade in the merits I’ve accumulated over the past ten years!"

"Seven, then."

"Six! That’s the limit, I’d have to beg everywhere to borrow Sky Ascending Pills!"

"Deal!"

Jiang Fan laughed and said: "When can you gather all the Sky Ascending Pills?"

The palace-dressed woman’s heart was bleeding.

When she called out six, she didn’t even know where she found the courage to quote such a high price.

Six Sky Ascending Pills, that’s going to cost her dearly!

"You’re truly ruthless!" The palace-dressed woman gritted her teeth and glared at the Tyrant:

"Is there anyone in the Jiangshan First-class Building darker than you?"

Jiang Fan rubbed his nose, awkwardly saying: "If you say that, I’ll just make the news public."

The palace-dressed woman, full of resentment, said: "Since I’ve named my price, I naturally won’t go back on it!"

"But I have two on hand, which I can give you first. As for the remaining four, I need to figure out a way to gather them."

"In the meantime, can you give me the Space-Time Dust first?"

She was truly worried that this black-hearted Tyrant would turn his head and leak the information.

By the time she gathered the Sky Ascending Pills, the Space-Time Dust might be gone.

Jiang Fan chuckled: "If you run away, where will I find you then?"

The palace-dressed woman felt at a loss.

Suddenly, realizing her disciple was there, she quickly pushed her in front of Jiang Fan:

"I’ll use my disciple as collateral first! Once I gather the remaining four Sky Ascending Pills, I’ll come to redeem her."

"Is that okay?"

Eh?

The young girl blinked her innocent big eyes.

No, Master, have you gone mad?

She was terrified, anxiously saying: "Master, what if you can’t borrow the Sky Ascending Pills?"

The palace-dressed woman patted her chest: "What reputation and status do I have? Can’t I borrow just four Sky Ascending Pills?"

"Rest assured a hundredfold."

"Tyrant, she’s my only disciple in my lifetime, I definitely won’t leave her uncared for."

Jiang Fan was speechless.

Turns out a disciple, besides being an inheritor, can also be used as collateral?

He was even a bit tempted, maybe he should take in a few disciples too?

When short on money, just randomly pick a lucky disciple as collateral?

He looked at the young girl, then at the palace-dressed woman.

This woman with such formidable cultivation could clearly seize by force, yet she chose to trade, indicating her character shouldn’t be too problematic, right?

Thinking for a moment, he nodded: "Alright, I’ll do this credit transaction once."

"But let me say this upfront."

"If you default, this female disciple will be at my disposal."

The palace-dressed woman confidently took out two Sky Ascending Pills and a Communication Jade Pendant: "The word default won’t appear on me!"

"Take these, I’ll contact you as soon as I have news."

Jiang Fan reluctantly took out a grain of Space-Time Dust and did not hand it over.

The palace-dressed woman frowned: "Are you planning to go back on your word?"

Jiang Fan stretched out his hand impatiently: "Aren’t you going to write an IOU?"

Oh, oh, oh.

The palace-dressed woman then remembered and quickly took out paper and pen, pressed her fingerprint on it, and signed her name.

Jiang Fan took it and looked: "Song Lingyu, Ting Yu Daoist."

He turned to the young girl to confirm the name was genuine.

Then he tossed the Space-Time Dust to the other party.

The palace-dressed woman was overjoyed at once: "I’ll soon have someone refine it into a Spirit Pill."

"Then I’ll be off."

She took a leap and was about to leave.

Just before leaving, she remembered her precious disciple, flew back and patted the young girl on the shoulder: "Hua Ying, Master will return soon, don’t be afraid."

The young girl said with a slight sob: "Master, return soon."

She had heard that to the people of Jiangshan First-class Building, everything was a commodity, and anything can be sold.

She was so pretty and attractive, she might be sold to some old monsters as a concubine.

Even being dismantled and sold for parts was possible.

The palace-dressed woman smiled confidently and flew away in a rainbow.

Off to the side, Gu Xin’er watched with eyes full of excitement and gleaming curiosity.

In her heart, she was thrilled: "Master, Master, did you see that?"

"A single Space-Time Dust sold by Tyrant for the price of six Sky Ascending Pills!"

"Oh my, have I been too honest in my past dealings?"

The Remnant Soul on her hairpin exuded strands of black lines from its forehead.

Gu Xin’er didn’t see it, but how could she not realize that this so-called Tyrant was actually that kid, Jiang Fan?

She couldn’t help but mutter: "You rascal, asking you to teach Xinxin how to behave in the world, not to teach her to be a black-hearted merchant!"

After completing the transaction.

Jiang Fan looked at the young girl and coldly said: "You are temporarily my collateral now, don’t think of running."

The young girl was about to cry, saying: "Senior, I won’t run."

"You must wait for my master to return, I trust she won’t forget her disciple."

Jiang Fan nodded and swirled a breeze to lift her into the air alongside him.

Finally, he cupped his hands towards Gu Xin’er: "Vice Pavilion Master Gu, farewell."

Gu Xin’er waved her hand, full of eager curiosity, looking around and thinking:

"Who should I try to do some business with next?"

Above the clouds.

The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master looked at Jiang Fan returning with a young girl, surprised: "This is?"

Jiang Fan grumbled and recounted his recent experiences.

The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master was repeatedly amazed: "Able to casually take out two Sky Ascending Pills?"

"There aren’t many such figures in Taicang State, could you have met a top elder of the Three God Sect and Seven Great Sects?"

"Isn’t extorting her like this risking offending her?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Fan realized that the woman in white palace dress was even more powerful than he imagined—she was a senior of greater repute.

He suspiciously looked at the young girl: "What is your master’s cultivation level?"

The young girl obediently kneeled on the ground, saying: "My master is an Eight-Orifice Nascent Soul, as for the background..."

The mist on her face swirled, and she hesitantly said: "We’re secretly out together, it’s inconvenient to disclose, please forgive me, senior."

Huh?

Eight-Orifice Nascent Soul?

Jiang Fan gasped, recalling that Spirit Sound had mentioned how Eight-Orifice Nascent Souls occasionally went mad!

Had he been bargaining with such a dangerous person all this time?

If the other party got angry and went mad, one slap could kill him, wouldn’t that be fun!

He shivered a bit, saying: "Good thing they don’t know my identity for now."

"Moreover, Taicang State is so vast, more than ten times the size of the Continent."

"They may not be able to find us again."

The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master turned pale at the mention of an Eight-Orifice Nascent Soul, saying:

"For the remaining four Sky Ascending Pills, you’d better not meet her in person for the transaction."

Jiang Fan strongly agreed, suddenly feeling unsafe around him, saying:

"Let’s go, let’s go, it would be fun if she came back."

"Let’s quickly head to the Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Temple to take care of business."

Hmm?

Where to?

The Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Temple?

Under the mist, the young girl’s pretty face showed a hint of surprise.

Realizing it, she gently curled her lips.

Suddenly not nervous at all now!
