Chapter 843: Chapter 843 Bargaining
Talk alone?
The Old Dream Demon Emperor glanced at the clan elders present and, to avoid suspicion, said:
“Can’t it be spoken in public?”
Zhuoyin was already suspicious of her and Jiang Fan.
If they talked alone again, who knows what rumors Zhuoyin might spread?
Jiang Fan thought for a mont and said, “No.”
For the sake of his own safety.
How could he dare to openly display the pill recipe?
If word got out, Sanqing Mountain would surely suspect that he had deciphered the pill recipe.
After a brief thought, the Old Dream Demon Emperor raised her hand and created a water curtain before everyone.
Creating an independent space three ters wide, she said:
“This water curtain can isolate all surveillances.”
“Shall we have a detailed talk inside?”
This way, the clan elders present could see and testify to her innocence.
And they could have a detailed private conversation.
The best of both worlds.
Jiang Fan breathed a sigh of relief and said happily, “That’s great.”
The Old Dream Demon Emperor was worried about misunderstandings, but he was even more worried.
The Zhuoyin Demon Emperor truly was a troubleso figure to deal with.
It was best to avoid any entanglents.
With the witnesses of others, the two entered the space within the water curtain.
“Okay, speak up.”
The Old Dream Demon Emperor went in first.
She turned around and said.
But when she saw Jiang Fan sticking closely to the water curtain, looking as if he was on guard against her.
As if he was afraid she had ill intentions towards him.
The Old Dream Demon Emperor was both amused and annoyed, “What is it, hurry up and speak!”
Jiang Fan gauged the distance between them and said, “Step back first, let’s keep a distance of three ters.”
You!
The Old Dream Demon Emperor slightly pursed her lips.
She was always the one asking other n to keep their distance.
Today things sohow turned upside down.
She kept a cool face and moved to the edge, three ters away.
With her arms crossed in front of her chest, she said coldly, “It better be sothing important.”
Jiang Fan exhaled gently, feeling assured, “I heard your clan has top-level Luminous Pearls for defense against Nascent Soul strikes?”
The Old Dream Demon Emperor was slightly taken aback, suspiciously scrutinizing Jiang Fan.
“Who told you that?”
“You ca from the East Sea, was it that widow who told you?”
So, it’s true.
Jiang Fan solemnly said, “I want to make a deal with the Demon Emperor.”
“Give a hundred top-grade Protective Night Pearls.”
“I’ll give you sothing you’ve always dread of.”
How many?
A hundred?
The Old Dream Demon Emperor’s eyes widened, “Are you doing business or robbery?”
“Even if I sold you the South Sea, I wouldn’t need a hundred, fifty would do.”
Ahem.
So, there aren’t that many available.
“Okay, then ten, but no less.”
Jiang Fan made a concession.
The Old Dream Demon Emperor said with a stern face, “Impossible.”
“Top-grade Protective Night Pearls are treasures of the South Sea, not a single one can be given to outsiders.”
“Let alone ten?”
“Don’t even think about it.”
“The conversation is over.”
She raised her hand, about to dissolve the water curtain.
Showing no interest in hearing what Jiang Fan had to offer.
In her view, a human clan disciple like Jiang Fan couldn’t have anything worth even one top-grade Protective Night Pearl to exchange.
“Cold Cicada Silence Pill’s recipe.”
“Don’t you want it?”
What?
The Old Dream Demon Emperor abruptly stopped, her eyes full of suspicion, “Say it again?”
Jiang Fan smiled slightly.
Took out a pill recipe.
His fingers covered most of the ingredients, revealing only a part and so notes by the Yizhu Demon Emperor.
“You should recognize my Sister Yizhu’s handwriting, right?”
The Old Dream Demon Emperor stared at the words “verified, the recipe is genuine” on it.
Her eyes full of surprise, “Is it really the Cold Cicada Silence Pill recipe?”
“Impossible, how could you obtain such a recipe?”
“Sanqing Mountain wouldn’t allow you to get it no matter what.”
Jiang Fan folded the recipe, saying, “Of course they wouldn’t allow it.”
“To retaliate against the East Sea, they even captured the Crown Prince of ng Cheng and tried to release sea springs to destroy the Four Seas.”
What?
The Old Dream Demon Emperor was shocked, “No wonder Zhuoyin said soone was causing trouble in the East Sea Palace.”
“So it was Sanqing Mountain!”
It all made sense.
Jiang Fan wasn’t lying.
Plus, the handwriting of the Yizhu Demon Emperor in the pill recipe.
So this pill recipe… is real?
From now on, can the South Sea break free from Sanqing Mountain?
Can they free themselves from Zhuoyin’s control?
Such a surprise ca too suddenly.
She stepped excitedly towards Jiang Fan with her long legs, “Quick, let have a look.”
“I need to confirm one last ti.”
Jiang Fan quickly stopped her, “Stop! Don’t co over!”
“Keep your distance from !”
Oh my.
Those legs are really long.
She closed half the distance in just two or three strides.
If he delayed any longer, she would have pounced on him.
The Old Dream Demon Emperor’s expression stiffened, glancing awkwardly at the outside clan elders.
Their eyes were all peculiar.
Even though they couldn’t hear what was being said inside.
They could see that the Old Dream Demon Emperor wanted to approach Jiang Fan.
But was sternly stopped by Jiang Fan.
The Old Dream Demon Emperor’s face flushed slightly, feeling embarrassed and annoyed.
This bastard.
Acting like I’m trying to take advantage of him!
Am I that kind of person?
She retreated awkwardly, “Is that enough?”
Jiang Fan said, “Are you agreeing to the deal?”
“Ten Luminous Pearls that can withstand a Nascent Soul strike for this recipe.”
The Old Dream Demon Emperor frowned, pondering, “Why do you need ten? Not five or three?”
“Was it that widow who suggested this to you?”
“Only she knows about the South Sea’s situation.”
The South Sea has just exactly ten top-grade Protective Night Pearls!
Jiang Fan rubbed his nose and stayed silent.
The Old Dream Demon Emperor imdiately confird it, exclaiming, “You wicked widow!”
“Really black-hearted!”
Jiang Fan nodded slightly, indeed, the black-hearted one was the Yizhu Demon Emperor.
Not his fault.
“I can’t give ten, only one.”
Jiang Fan said, “Ten.”
“At most two.”
“Nine!”
“Three, no more!”
“Eight!”
“Four is my limit!”
“Seven!”
“Give five, and I’ll die!”
“Six!”
“Deal!”
Jiang Fan took out the recipe and scratched out the ratios of several main ingredients with a pen.
Then tossed it over.
The complete recipe should not be given before getting the Luminous Pearls.
The Old Dream Demon Emperor caught it with trembling hands, clumsily opening it.
Seeing the ingredients on it, she was overjoyed.
Because she had secretly tried to decipher this pill and had hired a Four-Star Soul Master for this.
The ingredients of the pill had long been analyzed.
They were identical to the recipe in front of her!
What’s more surprising, the proportions given by the Soul Master fell within the range.
Every visible ratio on the recipe was within that range.
Plus, it was personally verified by the Yizhu Demon Emperor.
The Yizhu Demon Emperor is quite ticulous, and with sothing so important, there was no way she’d sign without absolute certainty.
This recipe, absolutely real!
She was ecstatic, like a bird set free.
“Young Master Jiang, you’ve been a great help to and the South Sea.”
She was all smiles, taking a step towards Jiang Fan.
Yet saw Jiang Fan retreating with a wary look.
Her joy was slightly overshadowed, glaring at him.
“I’ll discuss this with a few core clan elders first.”
“Rest assured, with this recipe, they won’t object.”
Imdiately, she dissolved the water curtain.
Then gathered a few trusted clan elders and sealed the space with a water curtain to ensure the secret wouldn’t spread.
Upon learning it was the Cold Cicada Silence Pill’s recipe.
They were imdiately excited.
