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?"
