Chapter 1098

"Excuse me, I just wanted to ask if that friend over there is willing to sell the necklace she’s wearing," Xu Fan said, pointing at the five-meter-tall Golden Barbie from the Ziyan Tribe.
"You dare to covet our Ziyan Tribe’s ancestral treasure?" The Golden Immortal from the Ziyan Tribe, who was guarding his beloved, laughed as if he had just heard the most ridiculous joke.
"I can offer five Postnatal Spiritual Treasures in exchange. That necklace contains at least a Primal Time-type Spiritual Treasure, which is worth a bit of Xuanhuang aura," Xu Fan replied calmly.
If he could obtain the Primal Time-type Spiritual Treasure, he could use it to achieve lossless time acceleration, specifically for the disciples in his sect who had reached the Golden Immortal realm.
"Friend, even if you offered us a Primal Spiritual Treasure, we would not trade it. It is our clan’s most sacred treasure."
"And that lovely girl is our princess, the pride of our Ziyan Tribe."
"Your chances of success would be higher if you just tried to steal it," the Golden Immortal guarding his love said with a smirk, his tone brimming with confidence.
The Golden Barbie looked at Xu Fan curiously, showing no concern about the possibility of her necklace being taken.
"Master, the Ziyan Tribe is one of the stronger branches of the human race."
"They control an entire Immortal Realm, with one saint and three quasi-saints."
"If nothing unexpected happens, that Ziyan Tribe girl is likely the descendant of one of those quasi-saints," Grape whispered in Xu Fan’s mind.
"One Primal Spiritual Treasure embryo, along with the friendship and promise of a Divine Craftsman."
"All of this, just for the necklace on the noble princess’s chest." Xu Fan’s gaze was unwavering; if he missed this opportunity, who knew when he would encounter such a treasure again.
"Grape, start analyzing all the information on the Ziyan Tribe."
"Simulate the consequences if I were to kidnap this Ziyan Tribe princess," Xu Fan thought to himself.
"By the way, I can also help you refine the Primal Spiritual Treasure embryo into a fully-fledged Primal Spiritual Treasure," Xu Fan added, pulling out a stone knife from his sleeve.
The last trace of Xuanhuang aura flowed into Xu Fan, elevating him to the realm of a Divine Craftsman. Using the puppet, he directly extracted the hidden celestial script from the stone knife.
"It really is a Primal Spiritual Treasure embryo. You truly are a Divine Craftsman," the three Ziyan Tribe Golden Immortals exclaimed in shock.
"You should know, I am a Divine Craftsman capable of refining primordial embryos into Primal Spiritual Treasures."
"One Primal Spiritual Treasure, plus the friendship of a Divine Craftsman, all for that necklace on the noble princess’s chest—more precisely, for the Primal Time-type Spiritual Treasure within it," Xu Fan said seriously.
Under normal circumstances, Xu Fan preferred not to resort to force.
The three Ziyan Tribe Golden Immortals fell silent.
At that moment, a massive figure appeared behind the three Golden Immortals, as if it occupied the entire star region.
The virtual image stared calmly at Xu Fan, who met its gaze without flinching.
Xu Fan held back from acting because if the princess truly was a descendant of a Ziyan Tribe quasi-saint, she would undoubtedly have a way to summon her elder.
"One Primal Spiritual Treasure, along with the friendship of a Divine Craftsman, is indeed more than enough for a Primal Time-type Spiritual Treasure."
"So, how about this trade? In addition, I will agree to one more condition: you provide the embryo, and I will help you craft another Primal Spiritual Treasure," Xu Fan said, looking up at the massive figure.
"Not enough. This isn’t sufficient. If I’m not mistaken, you should have three Primal Spiritual Treasure embryos on you."
"I want all of them," the enormous virtual image declared.
"That’s too much. That Primal Time-type Spiritual Treasure is only worth this much."
At this moment, Xu Fan’s mind began to race. What if the quasi-saint’s avatar became desperate? Would he have to use the last trump card left by his good brother?
Xu Fan’s thoughts suddenly expanded.
After obtaining the Primal Time-type Spiritual Treasure, he could start upgrading to the Golden Immortal Realm.
Once he became a Golden Immortal, would he still fear a quasi-saint?
As the saying goes, once the path is clear, everything becomes easy.
"I didn’t expect the esteemed quasi-saint of the Ziyan Tribe to be such a greedy person."
"One Primal Time-type Spiritual Treasure, still in its embryo state, and you dare to demand three Primal Spiritual Treasures from me? Impressive~."
"The hearts of you Ziyan Tribe are truly dark!"
With his thoughts unlocked, Xu Fan immediately unleashed his fury.
"If not for the exchange, then forget it. Xiao Xuan, let’s go."
In an instant, a massive spatial force enveloped the three Ziyan Tribe Golden Immortals and the Star Ship, then they were transported to another location.
"Crack~"
Xu Fan felt as if his heart was about to break.
You are a quasi-saint, and I just insulted you; shouldn’t you take action?
I am merely a Golden Immortal who specializes in artifact crafting, definitely not your match.
Just take action, and those three Primal Spiritual Treasures would all belong to you.
But why doesn’t this Ziyan Tribe quasi-saint make a move?
Xu Fan stood in the void, pondering for a long while before slowly coming to his senses.
"Nothing left, it’s all gone~" Xu Fan said, feeling heartbroken.
It felt as if fate had played a joke on him, briefly flaunting what he loved and needed the most before taking it away—who could endure such a thing?
For a moment, Xu Fan considered using his good brother’s trump card to snatch back that Primal Time-type Spiritual Treasure.
But as soon as that thought arose, a chill fell like a waterfall from above Xu Fan’s head.
Xu Fan’s heart and entire being turned cold.
"Interesting~ truly interesting," Xu Fan said as he shifted his consciousness into the spiritual space.
Inside the spiritual space, a lightly condensed inner demon seed was gradually growing.
"Indeed, a Great Luo level extraterrestrial demon; I was only one step away from falling into its trap," Xu Fan stated, feeling lingering fear.
Just moments ago, while negotiating with the three Ziyan Tribe Golden Immortals, Xu Fan’s desire had surged the most.
At that moment, his desire reached its peak, feeling as though he would annihilate the entire Ziyan Tribe to obtain the Primal Time-type Spiritual Treasure.
"Master, what happened!" Xu Yuexian, who had been guarding Xu Fan’s side, said in a panic.
She had never seen her master with such an expression.
Greed and desire, along with an aura that exuded dominance and possession, made Xu Yuexian feel uneasy.
"It’s nothing; I just let my inner demons slip through for a moment," Xu Fan waved his hand dismissively, then returned to a calm expression.
Meanwhile, in an unfamiliar star region, the three Ziyan Tribe Golden Immortals wore expressions of confusion and disbelief.
"My father actually let that human Divine Craftsman go!" the Golden Barbie said incredulously.
She knew her father well—she knew the moment he appeared, he had already sentenced this human Divine Craftsman to death.
Taking out a Postnatal Spiritual Treasure designed for communication, the Golden Barbie prepared to send a message but received a note from her quasi-saint father before she could.
"Fortunately, I reacted quickly; otherwise, it would have been a disaster for our tribe."
