Bank of the Universe Novel - Chapter 382
Chapter 382: 1000-year-old Qin Ming
Li Xiandao and Seven walked into the Trading Hall.
Li Xiandao sat down and put on his mask as he saw an old man walk in.
The old man’s hair was grey, and his face was red and well nourished. He was dressed simply and looked very clean.
When the old man saw Li Xiandao, he focused on him. He noticed that he couldn’t see through Li Xiandao at all. That was the most terrifying thing.
Instantly, the old man stopped underestimating him.
“This is the Bank of the Universe?” The old man asked. He stared at Li Xiandao and the fairy-like Seven who was standing to the side. He glanced a little before retracting his gaze.
No matter how beautiful a woman was, in front of the old man, who felt like he wasn’t strong enough, she was nothing.
The old man stopped looking at Seven not because he didn’t like beautiful girls but because he wasn’t that horny young man in the past.
“This is the Bank of the Universe. Welcome.” Li Xiandao said calmly and invited the old man to sit.
“Anything can be traded here?” The old man asked eagerly.
“Yes, anything can be traded, but it depends on what you pay to tempt me.” Li Xiandao nodded.
The old man wanted to continue to ask questions but Li Xiandao stopped him. He said, “Introduce yourself.”
The old man nodded, “I am Qin Ming, I come from the Qin Family on the moon.”
Li Xiandao listened quietly.
“I came to the Bank of the Universe to buy some lifespan for myself.” Qin Ming said.
“Cold Moon Sky has a moon, Flame Sky has a sun, and these two owrlds are unique. Since your Qin Family occupies the moon, you should be the top family in Cold Moon Sky. Your cultivation is not bad too, peak Emperor realm, so why didn’t you leave Cold Moon Sky and head to Heaven Sky?” Li Xiandao asked.
Cold Moon Sky is close to the moon and Flame Sky was close to the sun which was where they got their names.
“I can’t leave Qin Family at least until we develop the next peak emperor.” Qin Ming sighed.
“I heard that there is a demon sealed at your Moon Palace. Is that true?” Li Xiandao was interested.
A demon that was sealed, making the Qin Family select a beautiful girl as martyr to accompany this demon.
No one in the huge Qin Family wanted to fight back?
They sacrificed women in exchange for peace. They didn’t have any courage at all.
Of course, this had nothing to do with Li Xiandao. He was a merchant and he was not to judge.
He just asked because he was curious.
Qin Ming gave a bitter smile, “All of these aren’t secrets, my Qin Family does indeed have a sealed demon.”
“This demon is quite complicated and we can’t solve it yet.” Qin Ming shook his head.
“I was only just asking, I don’t care much” Li Xiandao explained. So what if there was a demon? It doesn’t affect his business, so Li Xiandao didn’t want to worry himself about it.
“How many years of lifespan do you want?” Li Xiandao asked.
Qin Ming said, “1,000 years.”
Li Xiandao said seriously, “1,000 years is okay but what can you pay?”
Qin Ming thought about it and wanted to say something.
“Wait, you must remember that the price wll change. It is decided on your needs. If you need it badly, the price will be expensive. If you don’t really need it, the price will be much lower.” Li Xiandao added.
1,000 years… Did the old man really need that much?
He needed it!
So, the price was going to be expensive.
Qin Ming smiled bitterly, “What do you need?”
“10,000 top grade spiritual energy dragon veins.” Li Xiandao said calmly.
Qin Ming’s pupils constricted. That was too much?
“You could say that 100 spiritual energy dragon veins to buy a year of lifespan. Although it isn’t cheap, it is definitely worth it.” Li Xiandao added.
1,000 was okay but Li Xiandao was dark now and started to ask for a higher price.
The Qin Family was also from the Moon’s Qin Family. He was the Moon Angel’s enemy, so as the Master, naturally he had to ask for more.
“We don’t have so many top grade spiritual energy dragon veins, so can you exchange other resources instead?” Qin Ming asked.
Li Xiandao blinked. He wasn’t going to bargain?
Li Xiandao said 10,000 spiritual energy dragon veins, but in this heart, he knew that the Qin Family wouldn’t be able to take it out so easily.
So, he was prepared to bargain and lower it a little.
But Qin Ming actually didn’t bargain!
He admitted that he didn’t have 10,000 but he could exchange for other things.
Li Xiandao would definitely agree and nodded, “Exchange for it with what? You can just discuss with my assistant. After you confirm, I will help you to increase your lifespan.”
After Li Xiandao said all this, he got up and left. Only Seven and Qin Ming was left to tabulate everything.
Outside the Trading Hall, once Li Xiandao walked out, he contacted Moon Angel.
Moon Angel was still helping Li Xiandao clear his bad debts. She just completed a contract and killed the person who broke the contract. She was prepared to rest and then head to the next place.
At that moment, Li Xiandao’s voice rang.
“Do you know Moon Palace’s Qin Ming?” Li Xiandao asked.
When Moon Angel heard Li Xiandao’s voice, she said right away, “I know that person. One of the three emperors of the Qin Family. He is a very mysterious person and thinks differently from the others. He is someone with courage, but unfortunately, those without chased him away.”
“This Qin Ming just came to the Bank of the Universe and wanted to trade for 1,000 years of lifespan.” Li Xiandao told Moon Angel about that news.
“Impossible. Qin Ming was the genius from Qin Family’s last generation. Even if he was old, he was only 1,000 years old.” Moon Angel was confused.
“But I saw him. His lifeforce was dried up and he has only 300 years left.” Li Xiandao frowned.
Everything seemed weird.
Qin Ming, who should at most been 1,000, should have been at his peak and have had at least 30,000-40,000 years.
But the Qin Ming that Li Xiandao saw only had 300.
“When I left Qin Family, Qin Ming was at Emperor Realm. He shouldn’t be as old as what Master said.” Moon Angel said firmly.
“Hand the contract to people near to you, I will control the bank to pick you up.” Li Xiandao thought about it. He needed Moon Angel to come back.
If something happened to Qin Family, Li Xiandao wanted to see whether or not he could obtain something useful from all this.
After all, the Qin Family had occupied the moon for so many years and they definitely had accumulated many things. Li Xiandao didn’t want to miss this chance.
“Okay Master, I will come back right away.” Moon Angel said decisively. She handed her remaining eight contracts to Tian Guangming and rushed back herself.
