Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards-Chapter 309 - 186: Is 300,000 Lower Grade Spirit Stones a Year Too Much?

Chapter 309: Chapter 186: Is 300,000 Lower Grade Spirit Stones a Year Too Much?

Wanting to break through from a Tier Two Upper Grade Talisman Master to a Tier Two Top Grade Talisman Master is indeed very difficult.

However, over the past few years, Qi Chuan has been continuously working hard, consistently practicing Talisman Making.

Moreover, the Hundredfold Critical Strike was at work.

Day by day, grain by grain, building a tower of sand.

Finally, he naturally advanced to the realm of a Tier Two Top Grade Talisman Master.

There was no need to trigger the Hundredfold Critical Strike at all.

At the same time, advancing to a Tier Two Top Grade Talisman Master also meant that Qi Chuan has stepped into the ranks of top cultivators below Core Formation.

It’s fair to say that in this world, regardless of any cultivator below Core Formation, Qi Chuan is fearless.

Whether it’s in terms of cultivation realm, magical combat power, or secondary occupation.

Only when encountering a true Core Formation True Master would Qi Chuan choose to temporarily avoid the edge; the rest can be fought and defeated.

"Now that I’ve advanced to a Tier Two Top Grade Talisman Master, it’s time to find Diwu Feng and have a talk." Qi Chuan smiled slightly.

He estimated that in a few days, Diwu Feng would come looking for him. After all, the Sacrificial Contract with the Diwu Clan was about to expire in a few days.

Three days later, at the familiar dining building, by the window on the second floor.

Qi Chuan, Qian Lai, and Diwu Feng each sat down.

After three rounds of wine.

Diwu Feng finally smiled and said to Qi Chuan, "Tributor Qi Chuan, according to the contract, your three-year tribution period has also ended. Here is the last month’s twelve thousand five hundred Lower Grade Spirit Stones, please take them!"

Diwu Feng handed a brocade bag filled with spirit stones to Qi Chuan.

Qi Chuan accepted the brocade bag as usual.

On the other side, Qian Lai also secured his seven thousand five hundred Lower Grade Spirit Stones.

At this moment, Diwu Feng said with a smile, "By the way, Tributor Qi Chuan, I heard you mention earlier that you intend to exchange your tributed spirit stones for the Diwu Clan’s Soul-Stabilizing Incense, right? So will you choose to continue signing the contract with the Diwu Clan? After all, only when you’ve become a Tier Two Top Grade Talisman Master can I open the topic of the Soul-Stabilizing Incense to the clan."

Upon hearing this, Qian Lai also looked at Qi Chuan.

Both of them thought that Qi Chuan would likely choose to renew the contract.

Unless Qi Chuan had changed his mind and no longer wanted the Soul-Stabilizing Incense for the time being.

But even if Qi Chuan’s target wasn’t the Soul-Stabilizing Incense, the high return rate of being a tributor for the Diwu Clan was right here, and there was a fairly high probability that Qi Chuan would still choose to continue as a tributor for the Diwu Clan.

"Renew the contract? Of course, I want to renew the contract."

And just as the two had thought, Qi Chuan spoke, expressing his intention to continue signing the contract with the Diwu Clan.

Upon hearing this, the Diwu Clan nodded slightly and then tentatively said, "So, the tribution return? Will it be like before, fifteen hundred thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones per year?"

He thought that Qi Chuan would still agree.

After all, cooperation requires integrity, and arbitrarily changing prices is not good regardless of which side it is.

Beside him, Qian Lai also thought Qi Chuan would agree.

After all, he hadn’t heard any objections from Qi Chuan about the previous cooperation.

As for himself, the contract he signed far exceeded three years, so there was no need to discuss renewing the contract today; it was only about Qi Chuan.

However, under the gaze of the two men, Qi Chuan shook his head and said, "Fifteen thousand? That’s a bit too low."

"A bit too low...?"

Upon hearing this, Diwu Feng was slightly surprised and glanced at Qi Chuan.

Unexpectedly, this Tributor Qi Chuan chose to ask for a price increase after the three-year contract, which he thought this person wouldn’t do based on his character.

Beside him, Qian Lai was also slightly surprised.

However, in reality, considering Qi Chuan’s level in Talisman Making Skill, an annual payout of fifteen hundred thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones was already a normal rate.

But even if there was a slight premium, it was still worth it.

As long as the Diwu Clan is willing to continue tributing to Qi Chuan, then the matter can still be discussed and raised slightly.

So after a moment, Diwu Feng patiently said, "Then Tributor Qi Chuan, how much do you want to increase the spirit stones by? Why not just say it out for us to consider."

The clan had a high regard for the talismans Qi Chuan had drawn in the past three years.

So even now, if Qi Chuan requires an increase in spirit stone remuneration, as long as it’s not excessive, he believes that the clan would probably agree.

After all, a Talisman Maker of Qi Chuan’s level is quite hard to find, especially one who can cooperate long-term and is trustworthy, Qi Chuan couldn’t run away from this Outer Talisman Hall.

"At least it should be doubled, starting from thirty hundred thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones, right?" However, just when Diwu Feng was thinking this, Qi Chuan opened his mouth and announced a number that shocked him.

"Thirty hundred thousand?" Beside him, Qian Lai gasped and looked at Qi Chuan in surprise.

Over the years, in the Outer Talisman Hall, he considered himself to have a good understanding of Qi Chuan.

He couldn’t imagine that the other party would be such a person who makes outrageous demands.

Even if he was dissatisfied with the fifteen hundred thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones a year, raising it by about 10% would still be reasonable, he thought.

But thirty hundred thousand a year, directly doubling it, isn’t that too exaggerated?

It’s simply not how negotiations are conducted.

"Could it be that Qi Chuan does not want to be the Diwu Clan’s tributor anymore, so he put forth a price that is hard for the other party to accept, thereby letting them give up?"

Qian Lai thought to himself.

Only this explanation seemed to make sense.

"Thirty hundred thousand... Haha, Tributor Qi Chuan must be joking with me." Diwu Feng was first shocked by the number Qi Chuan mentioned, then spoke with a stiff expression.
