After all, the Sacrificial Contract with the Diwu Clan was about to expire in a few days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three days later, at the familiar dining building, by the window on the second floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Chuan, Qian Lai, and Diwu Feng each sat down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After three rounds of wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Diwu Feng handed a brocade bag filled with spirit stones to Qi Chuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Chuan accepted the brocade bag as usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Qian Lai also secured his seven thousand five hundred Lower Grade Spirit Stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Qian Lai also looked at Qi Chuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them thought that Qi Chuan would likely choose to renew the contract.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless Qi Chuan had changed his mind and no longer wanted the Soul-Stabilizing Incense for the time being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Renew the contract? Of course, I want to renew the contract.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just as the two had thought, Qi Chuan spoke, expressing his intention to continue signing the contract with the Diwu Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought that Qi Chuan would still agree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, cooperation requires integrity, and arbitrarily changing prices is not good regardless of which side it is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Qian Lai also thought Qi Chuan would agree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he hadn’t heard any objections from Qi Chuan about the previous cooperation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, under the gaze of the two men, Qi Chuan shook his head and said, \"Fifteen thousand? That’s a bit too low.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A bit too low...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Diwu Feng was slightly surprised and glanced at Qi Chuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Qian Lai was also slightly surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even if there was a slight premium, it was still worth it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as the Diwu Clan is willing to continue tributing to Qi Chuan, then the matter can still be discussed and raised slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clan had a high regard for the talismans Qi Chuan had drawn in the past three years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thirty hundred thousand?\" Beside him, Qian Lai gasped and looked at Qi Chuan in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the years, in the Outer Talisman Hall, he considered himself to have a good understanding of Qi Chuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t imagine that the other party would be such a person who makes outrageous demands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But thirty hundred thousand a year, directly doubling it, isn’t that too exaggerated?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s simply not how negotiations are conducted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Lai thought to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only this explanation seemed to make sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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.\u003C\u002Fp>",1100,"2026-05-30T12:33:57.748Z","2026-06-01T04:31:13.875Z",1,"novelbin.me","cb57c92cda42eaca26aa61a805d03e65d5d77d3a3b04759c6b0b727289e065de","eternal-life-hundredfold-rewards-chapter-310","eternal-life-hundredfold-rewards-chapter-308",534,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-life-hundredfold-rewards-cover.jpg"]
