Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 1497: Chapter 1496: Bargaining (6 Updates!)

”I saw it in an ancient text,” Su Han said casually.

Could I possibly say that I already knew in a previous life? In my eyes, you’re just a child?

”Is it from an ancient text of the Pill Refining Association? To see such ancient texts, you need a very high status. Who is your alchemy teacher?” the old man asked again.

Su Han secretly rolled his eyes. This guy sure talks a lot. Where would I find a teacher just to fool you?

”Name a price,” Su Han said.

”What do you mean?” The old man was stunned for a moment. He was waiting for Su Han to tell him who Su Han’s alchemy teacher was.

But soon, the old man reacted, realizing Su Han was unwilling to answer.

After thinking for a moment, the old man said, ”Those lotus seeds will all be yours.”

”Are you kidding me?”

Su Han suddenly looked up, ”I spent seventy thousand spirit crystals on this map and reached here on my own merits. Your main body is not here and can’t obtain the Nine-Heart Lotus. Even if your main body were here, you still couldn’t get it, right?”

”So, as long as I find the Nine-Heart Lotus, as long as I get it, everything is mine. The Nine-Heart Lotus Seeds are mine, and the Nine-Heart Lotus Throne is also mine. Are you kidding me by asking for a lotus throne right now?”

”Ahem...”

The old man coughed dryly. He thought Su Han, who just advanced to First Grade Spirit Transformation Realm, was easy to deceive...

”What you said is indeed correct, but you have come here. Have you discovered the Nine-Heart Lotus?”

The old man’s lips curled into a confident smile, ”I know where the Nine-Heart Lotus is, and that’s the price.”

Without saying a word, Su Han’s silhouette flashed, and he rushed upward.

”What are you doing?” the old man was taken aback.

”Going home!”

”You...”

The old man immediately became anxious, ”Don’t leave. Let’s talk it out. You see, it wasn’t easy for you to get here, seventeen thousand zhang! If you don’t gain anything, you will definitely feel very unwilling, right?”

”I have gained something. Along the way, I got a lot of medicinal ingredients, which is enough for me. I am quite content,” Su Han said with a smile playing on his lips.

”What’s the worth of those medicinal ingredients? How can they compare to this Nine-Heart Lotus? Let me tell you, this Nine-Heart Lotus has lived for at least a hundred thousand years, a hundred thousand years!!!”

The old man shouted, ”A hundred thousand year-old Nine-Heart Lotus, do you know what that means? It means there are almost twenty or even more than twenty lotus seeds on it!!!”

”The price of one Nine-Heart Lotus Seed is ten thousand spirit crystals, and because of the age of this Nine-Heart Lotus, the price will be even higher, at least around fifteen thousand spirit crystals. Twenty seeds, that’s three hundred thousand. For someone at First Grade Spirit Transformation Realm, three hundred thousand spirit crystals is a massive amount!”

Su Han suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Seeing this, the old man heaved a sigh of relief and laughed, ”Three hundred thousand spirit crystals, quite tempting, right?”

Su Han pursed his lips and said, ”I think I should tell you how many spirit crystals I’ve obtained since coming to the Lower-Class Star Region.”

”How many?” The old man curled his lips, somewhat disdainful.

”Over thirteen million, I think.”

Su Han thought for a moment and added, ”Yeah, that’s about it.”

The old man: ”...”

Su Han knew he didn’t believe it, so he continued, ”Now, let’s go through it.”

”First, your cultivation base has reached the peak of the Spiritual Body Realm, and you’re about to break through to the First Grade Void Heaven Realm, nearly invincible below the Void Heaven Realm. But you clearly know this Nine-Heart Lotus is here, yet you dare not retrieve it yourself. Clearly, the danger here exceeds your tolerance.”

”How did you know?”

The old man’s pupils contracted, finding it hard to believe how Su Han, at First Grade Spirit Transformation Realm, could see through his cultivation base?

Moreover, how did Su Han see that he was at the peak of the Spiritual Body Realm?

Su Han didn’t answer but continued, ”So, even the danger that someone at the peak of the Spiritual Body Realm can’t withstand is considerable. Let me guess... the spirit beast guarding the lotus, at least Third-Grade, right?”

”Secondly, I’m not foolish enough to give away a hundred-thousand-year-old lotus throne for no reason. I also cannot bear such danger, nor do I want to. Three hundred thousand spirit crystals are not as valuable as my life.”

”You...”

”Thirdly!”

The old man wanted to speak but was interrupted by Su Han.

”The value of that lotus throne is probably over a million spirit crystals. Although the spiritual power it contains may not match the twenty lotus seeds, underneath the spiritual power... lies star power!”

”Alright, alright.”

The old man waved his hand, knowing his plan had fallen through, and said helplessly, ”Just tell me, what kind of price are you considering?”

Su Han thought for a moment and said, ”I won’t ask for much more. After all, you did provide the information on the Nine-Heart Lotus’s location, so... one and a half million spirit crystals, plus a favor from you, how about it?”

”Are you robbing me?!”

The old man immediately glared, ”One and a half million spirit crystals is possible, but no favors.”

Hearing this, Su Han’s smile widened even more.

The favor of someone about to step into the Void Heaven Realm is quite valuable. The key is that this old man is obviously a man of his word, otherwise, he wouldn’t agree to give the spirit crystals but not the favor.

”Suit yourself!”

Su Han snorted coldly and was about to leave again.

”Two million spirit crystals!”

The old man hurriedly caught up, standing in front of Su Han.

Su Han stared at him for a moment and said, ”Trust me. You won’t regret giving me this favor.”

The old man’s brows furrowed, not quite understanding Su Han’s indication.

However, it was evident that Su Han was not inclined toward the extra fifty thousand spirit crystals. He wanted only this favor.

”What’s your name?” the old man asked.

”Su Han, Outer Disciple of Heavenly Mountain Pavilion,” Su Han replied.

”Alright...”

The old man sighed softly, ”Fine, if you want a favor, then I’ll give it to you. But whether it’s the favor or spirit crystals, you’ll only get them once you return to the shore.” 𝑓𝑟ℯℴ𝓂

”Alright.”

Su Han nodded. After all, the lotus throne would temporarily be in his hands, so he wasn’t afraid of the old man going back on his word.

”Now, can you tell me where exactly the Nine-Heart Lotus is?” Su Han asked.

”It’s right under your feet,”

The old man smiled faintly, ”To be precise, it’s wrapped inside the Rock Shark.”

”Rock Shark?”

Su Han was taken aback and then instinctively bristled.

Without another word, he bolted upwards at the fastest speed.

”Why, are you scared now?” the old man said with some amusement.

”Third-Grade Spirit Beast, a Rock Shark?” Su Han confirmed once more.

”You surely are knowledgeable.”

The old man curled his lips, ”But what you said is indeed correct, it’s a Third-Grade Spirit Beast, the Rock Shark, and this Rock Shark’s strength is comparable to the Fourth Grade Void Sky Realm!”
