Although Qi Tian could determine through the Spirit Qi sensing function of the Heavenly Dao Engine that Wu Shenglian was carrying more than a million middle-grade spirit stones for cultivation resources, he also knew it was unrealistic to expect Wu Shenglian to hand them all over. However, letting Wu Shenglian redeem the Flower Umbrella with only 160,000 middle-grade spirit stones seemed a bit of a loss to Qi Tian.

Qi Tian held up two fingers and said, “Twenty thousand, that’s my bottom line. If it’s less than that, I might as well take the risk and kill you.”

Wu Shenglian stared at Qi Tian for a while before finally saying, “Alright, twenty thousand it is.”

The value of the Flower Umbrella was about twenty thousand middle-grade spirit stones. Back then, she had managed to buy it by spending just over twenty thousand low-grade spirit stones, which was an absolute bargain. But now, coughing up twenty thousand middle-grade spirit stones, her previous savings had been completely wiped out.

Qi Tian tossed the Flower Umbrella to Wu Shenglian, not worried that Wu Shenglian wouldn’t give him the spirit stones.

Just as Qi Tian had predicted, Wu Shenglian pulled out an ordinary Storage Bag, transferred 200,000 middle-grade spirit stones into it, and then threw the Storage bag to Qi Tian, who put the bag away immediately.

“Very good, you’re straightforward, I like dealing with people like you. Now, let’s talk about compensation. During your fight, there were losses on my subordinate’s side, you should compensate for that, right?” Qi Tian asked Wu Shenglian.

Wu Shenglian gritted her teeth and replied, “Compensate.”

Qi Tian continued, “Marquis Ma brought many trusted aides to withdraw cash silver, many of them were killed, and Marquis Ma lost an arm, your side needs to compensate for that, too, right?”

Wu Shenglian continued to grit her teeth and said, “Compensate.”

Qi Tian nodded his head and said, “Also, your Flower Umbrella struck me for a long time, causing serious mental trauma, you should compensate for that too, right?”

Wu Shenglian gritted her teeth tightly, she really feared that she would lose control and bite Qi Tian hard. “Compensate. You name a price, but it has to be reasonable.”

Qi Tian said, “Since you’re so straightforward, I’ll just say it. Gao Jinmei’s loss, you give her 30,000 middle-grade spirit stones, and for me, just pay me 30,000 for the sake of it, I’ll save you some. As for the people killed by your Four Seas Bank, each gets 100 middle-grade spirit stones. Marquis Mar lost an arm, compensate a bit more, 500 should do.”

The compensations Qi Tian demanded were really outrageous. For Gao Jinmei’s loss, the exhaustion of her magic power and physical strength could be replenished with a night’s rest. Her main loss having been a Dan medicine that could stimulate potential, if sold in Wanjie City, would be a bit expensive, but it wouldn’t amount to 30,000 middle-grade spirit stones. Spending just a few hundred middle-grade spirit stones could get one, but in Qi Tian’s calculations, these losses are worth 30,000 middle-grade spirit stones. As for those guards of Marquis Ma killed by the Four Seas Bank, if they had died in battle, compensation would be a hundred and eighty taels of silver at best, even if it was multiplied by a few times. But Qi Tian opened with a demand for 100 middle-grade spirit stones, which was extremely exaggerated. Even the loss suffered by Qi Tian was an absurd proposition. Wu Shenglian had witnessed the whole process firsthand. Qi Tian was completely unharmed, yet he was demanding compensation, which was utterly shameless.

However, Wu Shenglian, despite her many grievances, still nodded her head in the end after Qi Tian quoted the price, and gave Qi Tian the compensation as per his demands. She had lost her will to fight with Qi Tian and chose to pay him off. Of course, the main reason was that the price Qi Tian suggested was within her psychological range and did not exceed her affordability, which eliminated the desperate will to risk everything in a battle of life and death with Qi Tian.

Qi Tian stored the second batch of middle-grade spirit stones, then he continued, “Now there’s one last matter left, Marquis Ma brought five million taels of silver notes with him. Why did your Four Seas Bank only exchange a mere ten thousand taels, and why didn’t you exchange the remaining silver notes? Why did you falsely accuse them of being fake silver notes? We need to clear this up.”

The middle-grade spirit stones Wu Shenglian just compensated Qi Tian with could be exchanged for countless five million taels of silver, but surprisingly, Qi Tian still insisted on settling this issue.

Wu Shenglian didn’t really know about these silver notes. She looked at Lu Chao, whose eyes were bleeding. Nobody had taken care of him during the battle. Despite losing both of his eyes, Lu Chao didn’t escape. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to, but that Jin Jin kept an eye on him. If he dared to move, she would beat him up. In the end, he didn’t even dare to escape, and he didn’t even treat his eye injuries, letting the blood flow.

Wu Shenglian looked at Lu Chao’s condition with no sympathy at all. Today’s disaster, as well as the blows she and he had received from Qi Tian, was all due to Lu Chao’s mishandling of the situation. If only Lu Chao had straightforwardly exchanged the five million taels of silver back then, they wouldn’t be in such a mess today.
