Chapter 1656: Five Magnetic Immortal Mountains

So, clients can actually initiate the cancellation of a contract.

Jiang Fan's eyes shifted as he pondered, "You can, but you can't expect me to just cancel it for free, can you?"

Qiqi quickly handed back the Soul-Calming Buddhist Beads she had barely warmed up, asking, "Is this enough?"

Jiang Fan didn't take them. Instead, he looked away and said, "If only I had a Saint Crystal."

Trying to take advantage of my misfortune? Qiqi wiped away her tears and snapped, "You need to know when to stop!"

Jiang Fan glanced at the contractual law above her head and said, "Ah, it's a rare commodity, isn't it? You're like someone dying of thirst in the desert right now. Naturally, I can't sell you a bottle of water at the regular price."

Qiqi was exasperated. 'Fine, fine, fine!' she thought. 'So you're quick to learn and apply, huh?' Clenching her teeth, she struggled for a moment before finally relenting. She pulled out a Saint Crystal Exuviae and tossed it over with the Soul-Calming Buddhist Beads, saying, "Take these and disappear from my sight!"

Jiang Fan quickly accepted them but didn't stop there. Instead, he muttered to himself, "It would be even better if I had another Virtue God Bead for entering the Sage realm."

Qiqi's eyes widened. She stared at Jiang Fan, sizing him up as if seeing him for the first time. "Seriously," she said, "how can you be even more ruthless than I am?"

Jiang Fan looked away, adopting a 'whatever' attitude.

Qiqi snorted, "Forget about the Virtue God Bead for entering the Sage realm. I can use that myself to break through to the Sage realm. Then this contractual law won't be able to affect me!"

'That's true,' Jiang Fan secretly thought, sighing in regret. His eyes gleamed as he said, "Then it would be great if a top-grade spirit sword just fell from the sky." With just one more top-grade spirit sword, he could complete the Grand Derivation Sword Array.

Qiqi frowned. "That's more reasonable, but you're too late. Someone has already pre-ordered it. Choose something else. Any top-grade spirit artifact or something of lesser value will do."

Jiang Fan pondered for a moment. There were too many things he wanted, but he knew he should quit while he was ahead and not push too hard. Otherwise, Qiqi might simply waste the Virtue God Bead, ignore the contractual law, and he would end up with nothing. In that case, not only would he be unable to extort more, but even the Saint Crystal Exuviae he had just received would be demanded back.

After a brief thought, he took out the palm-sized Five-Magnet Mystic Mountain and asked, "Do you have stones from this mountain?" If there was anywhere else in the world to find the Five-Magnet Mystic Mountain, it could only be Qiqi, who claimed to have everything. The Five-Magnet Mystic Mountain was one of the earliest top-grade spirit artifacts Jiang Fan had acquired, and also one of his most convenient to use. However, as the enemies he encountered grew stronger, it gradually became less effective. It would be perfect if he could reforge it.

"The Five-Magnet Mystic Mountain?" Qiqi recognized it at a glance, a hint of surprise in her voice. "These are stones from the Five-Magnet Immortal Mountain in the Northern Heaven Realm. They're incredibly hard and unique forging materials. I do have a bit, not much."

Jiang Fan secretly nodded. He believed that the Five-Magnet Mystic Mountain came from the Northern Heaven Realm. Because... Xia Chaoge had once given him a barrel of mysterious five-colored liquid specifically for bonding the Five-Magnet Mystic Mountain!

Upon learning that Qiqi only had a little, Jiang Fan couldn't help but feel disappointed. 'What good is a little?' he thought. However, to his surprise, Qiqi waved her hand, and a massive ten-zhang-tall mountain of colorful ore crashed down before them. Jiang Fan's eyes widened dramatically. 'This is 'a little'?' he wondered. It was more than ten times larger than his current Five-Magnet Mystic Mountain!

Qiqi said indifferently, "The true Five-Magnet Immortal Mountain soars into the clouds; this is just a small piece that fell off it. If you want to refine the Five-Magnet Mystic Mountain you hold into a quasi-world artifact or a world artifact, you'd best visit the Five-Magnet Immortal Mountain yourself."

Jiang Fan's eyes lit up. He then rubbed his hands together and said, "Then could you also give me some of the five-colored liquid to bond them?"

Qiqi glared at him. "Why don't I just give myself to you too! The five-colored liquid you're talking about is the blood of the Angel race. It's not valuable, but I don't keep a stock of it. If you want it, you can pre-order it."

"What?" Jiang Fan's smile froze. So the barrel of five-colored liquid Xia Chaoge had given him back then was actually her own vital blood? Jiang Fan felt a lump in his throat, and an indescribable mix of emotions surged within him.

"Alright! You little black-hearted scoundrel, quickly cancel the contract!" Qiqi fumed.

Jiang Fan came back to his senses and, with a somewhat heavy heart, put away the ten-zhang-tall Five-Magnet Mystic Mountain. Then he looked at the contractual law, and with a thought, said, "Cancel transaction."

Instantly, the contractual law shrouding Qiqi dissipated like smoke. She was finally free, her large, clear black-and-white eyes glaring fiercely at Jiang Fan. "I'm always the shady merchant, and yet you managed to con me!" she exclaimed. "Forty minor divine rings, a Saint Crystal Exuviae, and a Five-Magnet Mystic Mountain. How could you even ask for all that?"

Jiang Fan's hand, hidden in his sleeve, was already pressing on the Primordial Heaven-Imprisoning Gourd. He calmly said, "Senior Qiqi, are you perhaps thinking of going back on your word?"

Qiqi's fists clenched several times! But after glancing at the sky a few times, worried that the Hunting Ground Master might interfere, she had no choice but to give up. She bared her teeth and said, "Pray that you don't encounter me again when you're in desperate need in the future. Otherwise, I'll claw back everything from you, principal and interest!"

Jiang Fan just smiled without saying a word. The world is so big; where would they even meet? Even if they did, he might not necessarily need her help. Seeing Jiang Fan's expression, Qiqi was enraged.

Suddenly, a dull, deafening roar exploded in their ears. A giant white tiger, twenty zhang tall, had, unbeknownst to them, crept up nearby. It now sprang out, bringing with it a terrifying, biting hurricane that destroyed the vast dense forest. But it didn't pounce directly on Jiang Fan. Instead, it lifted its mouth and tossed a large, white mass of internal organs in front of Jiang Fan.

"Uh—" Jiang Fan was startled for a moment, realizing that the mass of organs was actually a coiled chicken intestine. It appeared to be the intestine of some extremely large chicken-like beast.

The white tiger landed in front of the intestine. Its face had several bleeding scratches, clearly from chicken claws. It was evident that it had endured a fierce struggle when killing the chicken-like beast. The white tiger glared fiercely at Jiang Fan, extended a paw, and patted the pile of white intestines, making them jiggle and releasing a pungent, foul odor that spread through the air.

Qiqi fanned the air in front of her, frowning. "Why is it giving you chicken intestines?"

Jiang Fan looked at the incredibly thick chicken intestine, wider in diameter than he was tall, and his face darkened. "Because I called it 'petty.'"

Qiqi's expression froze, and then she understood: the white tiger was mocking Jiang Fan, showing him just how big a 'chicken intestine' could be. She couldn't hold back a chuckle.

The white tiger also shot Qiqi a fierce side-glance, slamming its paw heavily on the chicken intestine, as if angrily asking, 'What are you laughing at?' But with that slap, a large clump of chicken droppings splattered out from the intestine, spraying towards Qiqi and Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan was fine; he had been wary of the white tiger all along, so he dodged away immediately. Qiqi, however, was caught off guard, and a stream of soft chicken droppings splattered onto her clean, beautiful shoes.

Qiqi's smile vanished, and her face quickly darkened. Already seething with unvented anger from being scammed by Jiang Fan, she completely exploded. "You blind, dead tiger! Someone has pre-ordered a demon whip from a Grand Venerable of the Five Decays of Heaven and Man! I was planning to randomly select a lucky beast in the garden when I left to claim an ownerless whip! Since you've offered yourself up, it'll be you!"
