Chapter 1640 [Bonus ] Bargaining
According to the system's estimation of the Darkfire Crystals in the Core Section, Ajax could merge them into around 600000 Giant Darkfire Crystals.
After diffusing them, Ajax would gain 180000 Giant Fire Crystals; however, a Giant Darkfire Crystal is around 100 times more valuable than a High-level Darkfire Crystal.
Moreover, even if someone gives 100 High-level Darkfire Crystals, they could not buy a Giant Darkfire Crystal.
Even now, in the Core Section of the Flame Chamber, there were millions of Darkfire Crystals for the low-level, mid-level and high-level; however, there was not a single Giant Darkfire Crystal.
From this, it could be considered how valuable and rare the Giant Darkfire Crystals are.
'At most, I should finalize the deal for 18000-20000 Giant Fire Crystals.'
Hence, after adding the costs of merging the Darkfire Crystals into Giant Darkfire Crystals and then diffusing them into Pure Giant Fire Crystals and the Pure Giant Dark Crystals.
Ajax decided to not give more than 20000 Giant Fire Crystals.
'Huh? 10000 Giant Fire Crystal?'
As he thought, Ajax heard the Stormfire asking him half of what he wanted to give the Stormfire.
'That's the benefit of asking the other party for the price.'
Ajax was excited; however, he tried his best not to show emotions on his face and said a price from his side.
"1000 Giant Fire Crystals."
Stormfire: "9000 Giant Fire Crystals. I am giving you millions of Darkfire Crystals and I am asking you for less than 10000 Darkfire Crystals."
Ajax: "2000. What if there were millions of stones? They can't be compared to Pure Giant Fire Crystals."
.
.
.
The bargain between a Flame and a Human went on for a few minutes as they gave their reasoning behind their quoted price.
"5000 Giant Fire Crystals….it's final. I can't go any lower now."
Even though the Stormfire said that it didn't mean because it's been centuries since it had devoured a Giant Fire Crystal and it was willing to buy them at any price.
For it, the Darkfire Crystals would be accumulated with time. So, it didn't care much about the millions of Stones.
"Deal."
Actually, Ajax would have directly finalized the deal at 10000 Giant Fire Crystals; however, if he readily agreed, the Stormfire would increase the price in the future for the Darkfire Crystals.
That's right!
Ajax wanted to continue to have these secret deals with the Stormfire in the future because Ajax had a lot of Contracted Spirit Beasts and Elemental Spirits to take care of them.
Moreover, he could use them on his own cultivator's laws or souls belonging to the Dark and Fire elements.
'So, when are you going to give me the 5000 Giant Fire Crystals?'
Earlier, Ajax claimed that he only had one Giant Fire Crystal to gain access to the Core Section of the Flame Chamber.
Hence, the Stormfire asked when would Ajax give it the 5000 Giant Fire Crystals.
"Wait a second."
Ajax replied to Stomrfire with a slight smile as he silently ordered the system, 'System, merge all my mid-level and high-level Darkfire Crystals into 20000 Giant Darkfire Crystals.'
'Ding,
210000 mid-level Darkfire Crystals are merged into 21000 high-level Darkfire Crystals.
Total High-level Darkfire Crystals: 50000 (Unrefined).
'Ding,
50000 high-level Darkfire Crystals are merged into 5000 Giant Darkfire Crystals.
'Ding,
8 Special high-level Darkfire Crystals [Refined] are merged into 4 Giant Darkfire Crystals [Refined].
'Ding,
Total Giant Darkfire Crystals: 5000 (Unrefined), 4 (Refined).
As soon as he gave the order, the system started working and the huge pile of Darkfire Crystals in his space ring turned into 5000 Giant Darkfire Crystals.
Since the Sentient Flame didn't have a problem removing the traces of the evil energy in the crystals, Ajax didn't bother to refine them any more.
'As for the Giant Dark Crystals, I will slowly ask the Sentient Flame to help me.'
That's right!
Ajax no longer bothered to use his Divine Essence of Nature to refine the Darkfire Crystals and take Sentient Flame's help.
In the future, Ajax doesn't have to worry about refining them because the Darkfire Crystals around him didn't have any traces of evil energy and he could use them instantly.
'Now, diffuse them.'
Looking at the 5000 Giant Darkfire Crystals, Ajax gave another order to the system which instantly diffused them.
'Ding,
Giant Dark Crystals: 3500 (Unrefined).
Fire Dark Crystals: 1500 (Unrefined).
"For now, I will give 1500 Giant Fire Crystals and for the remaining 3500 crystals, I will give the remaining crystals in a month. What do you say?"
Seeing that after merging all the Darkfire Crystals on him, Ajax was able to get only 1500 Giant Fire Crystals, Ajax shook his head.
Nevertheless, he was confident in convincing the Stormfire.
'You have more Giant Fire Crystals on you? So, you fooled me earlier?'
When it heard that Ajax had 1500 Giant Fire Crystals on him right now, the Stormfire was surprised.
Instead of becoming angry for fooling it, the Stormfire became excited as it said, 'Good…good.'
For the Stormfire who had not tasted the Giant Fire Crystals for a long time, it was happy to get 1500 of them at once.
Hence, he was not angry at Ajax and informed him, 'You can take all the Darkfire Crystals in the Core Section.'
"I am waiting for these words."
As soon as he heard the Stormfire's words, Ajax hurriedly took out his space ring and started absorbing all the Darkfire Crystals around him.
In the Core Section of the Flame Chamber, a human was happy to gain millions of Darkfire Crystals and a flame was happying devouring the Giant Fire Crystals.
Of course, after devouring 10 Giant Fire Crystals, the Stormfire stopped eating and stored the remaining crystals for a later date.
'Human, you are currently undergoing body tempering.'
Seeing how excitedly Ajax was, the Stormfire reminded him that he was currently undergoing Body Tempering.
Maybe because of his excitement or maybe from his breakthroughs, Ajax didn't feel much scorching pain while absorbing the Darkfire Crystals into his space ring.
'Human, I have an interesting deal for you.'
As Ajax was collecting the Darkfire Crystals, the Stormfire repeated Ajax's style and asked, 'It is regarding a Divine Flame Rule. Are you interested?'
