The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 055

Chapter 055 Within Dongchang City
One day later, Li Qing and Liu Ke’er arrived at Dongchang City.

As the largest city in this area, Dongchang City was naturally extremely magnificent. This was Li Qing’s first time coming to a human city, and he couldn’t help but be shocked.

In the vast land, this magnificent city was entrenched like a giant beast. The city wall was dozens of feet tall, and it was unknown how long it was. It stretched for dozens of kilometers, and there was no end to it.

The city walls were made of extremely solid stone, and their defenses were extremely high. Even powerful martial artists would not be able to cause much damage.

Countless pedestrians and goods were gathered here. From afar, they were like black ants that continuously flowed into the beast’s mouth.

“As expected of one of the three major cities in Dongyuan Prefecture!” Li Qing praised. The three main cities were Dongchang City, Dongming City, and Dongyuan City. They were the three great forces in Dongyuan Prefecture, and their strength was extremely powerful. They recruited countless martial artists to form an army, and they fought endlessly.

“It’s far inferior to Cloud Continent City.” Liu Ke’er curled her lips in disdain. She had lived in Cloud Continent City since she was a child, so she was naturally more knowledgeable and did not make a fuss.

“Oh? Yunzhou City is actually much more magnificent than this city? Then I’ll have to experience it then.” Li Qing smiled.

There were four guards standing at the gate of the city. Li Qing and Liu Ke’er paid a few pennies before they smoothly entered Dongchang City. There were a lot of people in the city, and it was extremely lively. There were martial artists holding swords everywhere. The two of them merged into it, appearing inconspicuous.

In front of him was a straight and wide road. Countless shops lined up on both sides, and luxurious buildings rose up from the ground with a magnificent aura.

“Interesting, interesting!” Li Qing looked around and felt that it was very novel. He had never seen such a prosperous place in the future, so he was dazzled.

After walking for a while.

“Li Qing, where are we going now? My stomach is a little hungry.” Liu Ke’er said pitifully.

“If you’re hungry, then let’s go eat. After dinner, we’ll take a stroll around the city, stay overnight, and then leave.” Li Qing paused for a moment, then looked around and said, “Let’s go and see if there are any better restaurants around.”

Now that they were rich, they had plenty of spirit stones and gold and silver treasures on them. They weren’t afraid of spending money, so they could find a high-end restaurant to eat a big meal.

They asked the passers-by, and after understanding the situation, they quickly found a restaurant not far from them, called Dongchang Restaurant.

Since this place was named Dongchang, the quality should not be bad.

Li Qing looked towards the Dongchang Restaurant and found that the building occupied an extremely vast area. It was three floors tall, magnificent and luxuriously decorated. The main entrance was 30 feet wide, and two giant stone lions were placed on both sides. Above it was a plaque with the words Dongchang Restaurant written in golden characters.

Li Qing listened and heard the people talking. He learned that the restaurant was set up by the Wang Clan, the owner of Dongchang City.

“Wang Clan? Wang Jinghao is the eldest young master of the Wang Clan.” Li Qing pondered.

Since this city was the territory of the Wang Clan, there was probably no chance to kill this person. Otherwise, they would definitely be hunted down by the Wang Clan. Whether they could escape or not would be a problem. As the clan that ruled Dongchang City, the Wang Clan definitely had Xiantian experts guarding them. They were powerful and had a deep foundation, and Li Qing could not afford to provoke them.

He didn’t think too much about it anymore, anyway, he wouldn’t stay here for long, he would leave after staying for one night.

“Let’s go in.” Li Qing said. The two of them entered the Dongchang Restaurant together.

“Aiyo, guest officer, there are seats on the second floor. Do you want to go up?” The waiter stood at the gate, nodded and bowed respectfully.

“Then let’s go up to the second floor. Lead the way.” Li Qing said casually. The first floor was crowded and noisy, while the second floor was quieter and more expensive.

“Alright!” The waiter smiled and led the way.

They went up to the second floor and found a table by the window. There weren’t many people here. It was spacious, bright, and very quiet. Li Qing picked up the menu and looked at it for a while. Then, he casually ordered the most expensive dish here, “Heavenly Treasure Banquet”.

This banquet was extremely precious. It didn’t accept money, only spirit stones. It required a total of thirty spirit stones. Ordinary people really couldn’t afford it.

“So cheap.” Li Qing secretly muttered in his heart. Due to numerous fortuitous encounters, they were extremely wealthy and had endless amounts of spirit stones. Perhaps even Xiantian experts weren’t as wealthy as them.

The dishes were quickly served. They were all cooked from extremely precious demonic beast ingredients. Not only were they delicious, they were also beneficial to cultivation. No wonder they needed to be paid with spirit stones.

This is the best dish cooked by the restaurant. As expected, it tastes very good and delicious. It tastes different from Li Qing’s beast meat. The two of them were already hungry, so they picked up their chopsticks and began to eat happily, regardless of their image.

After eating for a while, he heard footsteps on the stairs again.

Da! Da! Da!

Soon, a yellow-robed old man walked up, with a few juniors behind him.

“Master Hong, distinguished guest. Come, there are seats here.” The waiter greeted warmly.

Master Hong swept his gaze around. When he saw Li Qing’s table, his gaze couldn’t help but stop.

Because when he saw Liu Ke’er, he was instantly shocked and his eyes were straight.

“Too beautiful!” His eyes glowed red as he swallowed his saliva. He looked like a hungry wolf and saw a delicious lamb.

However, he was a steady person. He didn’t lose his composure and didn’t say anything else. He casually walked to a table beside Li Qing and stopped. He said, “Just this table.”

His four juniors immediately moved their chairs and said respectfully, “Teacher, please sit down!”

They sat down, ordered drinks and dishes, and began to chat.

“Teacher, you are a high-grade alchemist with high moral standing. Even the eldest young master of the Wang Clan has come to curry favor with you when you arrive in Dongchang City. I have already invited you twice.”

He purposely said the words “high-grade alchemist” very loudly, so that others could hear him.

Master Hong understood. A trace of arrogance appeared on his face as he said loudly, “Although I am a high-level alchemist, I am still one step away from becoming a master alchemist. It is nothing.” His voice was loud, as if he was afraid that no one would hear him.

As he spoke, his gaze looked at Liu Ke’er from time to time, revealing a look of longing. His fists clenched tightly and then loosened, and his heart itched to death!

‘”There is such a beauty in this world. I must get her. In the past, when others heard that I was a high-level alchemist and wanted to curry favor with me, I didn’t believe that you wouldn’t be tempted!” He was secretly proud. As long as that beauty wanted him, wouldn’t she be able to make some unspeakable demands?

This Master Hong is so old, his hair is already white. He can be Liu Ke’er’s grandfather. He actually thinks that the old cow will eat tender grass. He is really a hungry ghost.

Sure enough, when the surrounding people heard the words high-grade alchemist, they all turned around and stood up respectfully and said, “Ah, so it’s Master Hong. I’ve heard so much about him!”

It turned out that Master Hong had arrived in Dongchang City half a month ago. His status as a high-level alchemist had caused a sensation, so many people had heard of him.

Master Hong smiled and nodded in response. However, Li Qing and Liu Ke’er remained indifferent and focused on eating, as if they didn’t hear anything.

Liu Ke’er didn’t even look at him.

“Hmm? Why is my identity useless?” Master Hong felt very unhappy. He couldn’t help but snort coldly and said, “Young people nowadays really don’t know how to be polite.”

Li Qing and Liu Ke’er secretly laughed. Of course, they heard what Master Hong said, but they didn’t want to pay him any attention. It was just a high-level alchemist, and they didn’t find it rare. This was because there were alchemists in the Eight Desolate Sect, and there were quite a few of them.

The Eight Desolate Sect had eight peaks, each with its own characteristics. Among them, the Cyanwood Peak was a full-time alchemist. All the pills in the sect were refined by them. There were many high-level alchemists, even alchemist masters and grandmasters.

The pharmacist profession was divided into low-level, middle-level, and high-level pharmacists. Upwards, there were pharmacist masters and grandmasters. As for the realm above Alchemist Grandmaster, it was something that the legendary figures in the world could reach. Each of them had their own titles, such as Alchemist God, Alchemist King, Alchemist Saint, and so on.

Master Hong didn’t know this. Seeing that Li Qing and Liu Ke’er still didn’t look back, his expression was extremely ugly. He thought that the two of them were looking down on him, and he was extremely angry in his heart.

The scene instantly turned cold.

Just as he was about to speak again, he heard another sound coming from the stairs. Someone went upstairs.

The waiter brought a dignified young man in and led the way while saying, “Young master, this way please. Why are you free today?”

However, this young man with an extraordinary aura ignored the waiter and walked over.

“This is the Wang Clan’s eldest young master, Wang Jinghao!” Someone recognized him and whispered.

Li Qing’s heart skipped a beat. He didn’t expect to meet him here. However, after thinking for a while, it wasn’t surprising that this Dongchang Restaurant was originally their family’s property.

“Now is a good chance to kill him!” Killing intent flashed in Li Qing’s eyes, but he quickly endured it and did not plan to make a move. If he were to really kill him here, he would probably cause a lot of trouble.

Wang Jinghao walked in. He first swept his gaze around and saw Liu Ke’er. A trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it. His expression did not change at all.

This was a person with deep thoughts.

He came to Master Hong’s table and smiled. He cupped his hands and said, “Oh, Master Hong, what a coincidence. Why didn’t you tell me when you came to Dongchang Restaurant? I’ll have someone treat you well.”

It seemed that he had come here to curry favor with Master Hong.

Master Hong’s face was also filled with a hypocritical smile. He said politely, “This is just a small matter. There’s no need to bother the eldest young master. Come, please sit down!”

Wang Jinghao sat down and chatted for a while. ‘”Master Hong, I’ve invited you twice, but you’ve refused me on the grounds that you don’t care about common affairs. Is it because I’m not sincere enough? If you’re willing to join my manor as a guest minister, no matter what request you make, as long as I can do it, I won’t refuse!” He said.

Master Hong had already rejected Eldest Young Master Wang twice before. In fact, it wasn’t that he didn’t really want to accept his kindness. As long as he was holding on to his identity, he could only wait for the price to be sold. However, if he didn’t agree to this third invitation, he wouldn’t be able to appreciate it.

So he nodded and said, “This old man was really touched by Eldest Young Master’s three invitations. How can I remain indifferent to such courtesy? Since that’s the case, I’ll agree to your request. However, I still have one more request. I want to ask Eldest Young Master for help.”

“Oh? What requirements? But it doesn’t matter!” Wang Jinghao said excitedly.

Master Hong pointed at Liu Ke’er and said, “I want this woman!”
