Huo Linger wasn't surprised by his refusal, but she was still surprised by the reason behind it . "Why don't you give it a try before dismissing it," she said .
She obviously wouldn't give him anything he asked for, and she had just wanted to see what price he would ask . From that, she could judge just how broad his knowledge was .
If he just asked for upper-grade yuan stones, his previous words would then seem like a joke . The wealth possessed by the Fire Spirit Clan couldn't be measured by mere numbers .
"Since you already stated this, why don't you give your Fire Spirit Clan's Fire God Heavenly Bead in exchange for it . " Jiang Chen didn't give it a single thought and replied casually .
The Fire God Heavenly Bead was a treasure passed down from one generation to the next in the Fire Spirit Clan, and it had become the Eight Great Spirit Clans' most valuable treasure . Average people wouldn't even get to hear about it .
Huo Linger was obviously incapable of taking it out to exchange it, but she was still amazed by the fact that a human was this knowledgeable about the Spirit Clan .
"Aren't you aware that this is out the question?" Huo Linger spoke solemnly .
"Didn't I already state that?" Jiang Chen sheathed his sword, about to leave .
"Wait!" Huo Linger wasn't willing to give up, but she still didn't block Jiang Chen and instead followed by his side . "This sword is quite suitable for Fire Spirits, so can you please part with it?" Huo Linger said .
"Are you implying that I'm not qualified for it?" Jiang Chen turned his head and looked at her with his sharp, sword-like gaze .

Huo Linger was taken aback by this . She didn't expect it to be difficult to haggle with Jiang Chen . She chose to stop in her tracks because she knew that it would be useless to continue insisting . However, it was obvious from her gaze that she still hadn't given up .
Jiang Chen went back to his residence, which was in the Wind Department . The Fengyu Duo was now preparing to advance into the Celestial Venerable Realm, thus he didn't get to see them on that day .
Moreover, Jiang Chen still planned to start making elixirs after several days . Raising his Fire Lore to the second level would be helpful to him while making elixirs, and it wouldn't only improve the elixirs quality; it would also shorten their production time by half .
"Well?"
After a short while had passed since he went back to his residence, Jiang Chen heard a disturbance outside . When he spread out his Holy Awareness, irritation appeared in his eyes . It was a Fire Spirit again that had come over .
They were already challenging his patience . He went to open the gate and saw Huo Linger, as he had expected, but there were still several more people in their group this time .
Two among them had exceptionally powerful auras, that surpassed even Huo Linger greatly . They both strode forward and examined him rudely with their gazes .
"Jiang Chen, the Fire Spirit Clan's princess asked you personally, yet you didn't give her due respect . " One of them was human, so he was the first to speak . He spoke in a reprimanding tone like he was Jiang Chen's elder, while Jiang Chen didn't know even his name .
"What does that have to do with me?" Jiang Chen replied bluntly .

"Do you know who I am?" This person was angered, and he widened his eyes as a powerful aura emanated from him .
"I'm not interested in hearing it . " Jiang Chen noticed that this person was a late stage Celestial Venerable . Moreover, he wasn't an ordinary Celestial Venerable who only cared about increasing his realm level . Any Celestial Venerable who could join the Cliff Mountain wasn't mediocre .
"Yang Fan, let me deal with him . " Another late-stage Celestial Venerable who had come with Huo Linger strode forward slowly . This person wasn't just a genius; he was also a Spirit .
He resembled Huo Linger slightly, but he was more handsome . He had a tall stature, and he was wearing battle armor .
"Huo Linger is my younger sister, and she's quite fond of your sword . If you're sensible, you'll quickly part with it . " He spoke bluntly, not giving Jiang Chen an opportunity to reply . He continued, "Or else, it'll be difficult for you to live in the Three Middle Realms, and you'll be obliged to get lost and go back to the Three Lower Realms . "
It wasn't strange that a Doctrine Artifact's charm would bring him such trouble .
"Who do you think you are? Even if you were my son, I wouldn't give you the sheath . " Jiang Chen spoke rudely while facing his threats . There were some people who didn't deserve respect .
After Jiang Chen spoke, surprise appeared on the faces of the Cliff Mountain's disciples who had followed them there, and sympathy appeared on their faces afterward . It was like Jiang Chen had just made a grave mistake .
Even Huo Linger, who desired the Red Cloud Sword, felt slightly ashamed of herself, while the Spirit who had been cursed at by Jiang Chen was still calm and indifferent . He squinted his eyes, still wearing an expressionless look .
"Did you assume that we couldn't attack you because of the Cliff Mountain?" After a short while, he spoke again .

"I just assumed that you were depending upon the Cliff Mountain's rules, as well as your numerical superiority, to try to scare me," replied Jiang Chen, sneering coldly .
"Then, do you dare to leave the Cliff Mountain's scope and fight against me?" he said .
"Huo Kun, you're too shameless . Why don't you go ask a Great Venerable to fight with you?" It was at this time that Zhou Jianfeng came over and criticized him righteously .
"Who do you think you are? You're merely a Spiritual Venerable," Huo Kun spat disdainfully .
"Then what about you, who wants to challenge a trifling Spiritual Venerable for a sword? You're really noble and great, aren't you?" Zhou Jianfeng didn't let himself be outdone, and he spoke without giving the outer party any respect at all .
The spirit called Huo Kun furrowed his brows . He was at a loss for words and couldn't give a retort, because it was really as the outer party had said .
"You won't be willing to part with the sword at all, will you?" He cast his gaze at Jiang Chen once again and spoke threateningly .
"You're really too talkative . " Irritation appeared on Jiang Chen's face . He wasn't willing to waste any more breath on him .
"I hope that you're clear about the price you'll pay for showing off now . If you found Li Yunfei's prior actions a disturbance, you'll soon realize that it's child's play in comparison to what will happen next," Huo Kun said coldly .
"I really want to experience it, as in any case, I'm quite bored here," replied Jiang Chen with a faint smile .
Huo Kun clenched his teeth . He couldn't understand why this human was so fearless, even though he knew that he was a Fire Spirit . He was obviously an insignificant guy from the Three Lower Realms . He was extremely reckless and oblivious to everything .
"Just wait and see!" Huo Kun and Yang Fan shot Jiang Chen a ferocious glare before they led their people away and left .
Huo Linger, who had just turned around, wore a complex expression . She just wanted the Red Cloud Sword, but after what Jiang Chen had said, it would be difficult for him to even live .
As he watched the leaving Huo Kun, a bitter look appeared on the face of Zhou Jianfeng, who was smiling provocatively .
"It'll be really troublesome now . " Zhou Jianfeng shook his head and said, "He probably won't do anything in the Cliff Mountain, but once you leave it, who knows what he'll do . "
"At that time, it'll be the case for me, too . " Jiang Chen didn't care about this at all . He had met many people like this person . How could it be possible for him to simply hand over the Red Cloud Sword?
Moreover, since he already offended him, it wouldn't matter if he offended him more thoroughly .
"Sigh! I already learned about your true disposition when you dared to kill Young Master Xuanji in the past . " Zhou Jianfeng's helpless tone was filled with admiration .
Just as Zhou Jianfeng had said, Huo Kun's revenge started immediately . Jiang Chen was not only incapable of using the Fire Department's cultivation resources, but it was also difficult for him to even take a single step inside their area .
He wasn't the type of person who would rat on people, thus he didn't look for the Fire Venerable . In any case, since they couldn't attack him in the Cliff Mountain, he still went to the Fire Department and cultivated there .
However, they obviously tried hard to disturb him, and Li Yunfei's previous actions really did seem like child's play in comparison to them .
"Since you all want to play . . . " Jiang Chen sat in the center of the fire pillar plaza . A faint smile pulled at the corners of his mouth, as he looked at the thug-like Cliff Mountain disciples outside .
