The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 308

Chapter 308 Mysterious Figure
“So you’re looking for someone! Where did the person you’re looking for disappear from? Different powers have different ranges.” Chang Wudi said.

“Actually, I don’t know where she is. I’m not even sure if she’s still in the Eastern Region.” Li Qing said after a moment of silence.

‘”This is rather troublesome. I might need to find some organizations that are spread throughout the entire Eastern Region. I suggest you find the forces of the three major trading houses in the Eastern Region to help. This way, you can cover the entire Eastern Region.” Chang Wudi said.

“The three major trading houses of the Eastern Region?” Li Qing’s eyes lit up. “That’s right, this is a good suggestion. I’ll go find them now. Do these forces have a base in the Holy City?”

He couldn’t wait.

“Of course I do. If I don’t, how can I be called one of the three major trading houses?”

Under Li Qing’s urgent urging, the two of them quickly arrived at the camps of the three major trading houses. They first chose Mingfeng Trading Firm. This was an extremely ancient organization, and it had the deepest foundation among the three major trading firms. Its reputation was guaranteed.

“Aiyo, guest officer, may I know what you want to buy?” Just as they arrived at the building of Ming Feng Trading Firm, a waiter immediately came out to greet them.

Since he was a merchant, he was naturally a seller. This building was filled with all sorts of rare goods, and there was a large flow of people. It was very lively.

Li Qing said, “I want to do something with your firm. Don’t you know that there is such a service here?”

“Yes, yes! Please go up to the second floor!” The waiter said with a smile.

Li Qing and Chang Wudi arrived on the second floor, and soon a steward came out to receive them. Obviously, there was already a fixed procedure for handling these matters, and it did not attract much attention.

“May I know what you two want us to do?” The steward asked.

“I want you to help me find someone!” Li Qing said.

“Oh? Where did you disappear? Is it a man or a woman? Is there anything obvious about it?” The steward asked a series of questions.

“I don’t know where she went missing. I don’t even know if she’s in the Eastern Region, but I can draw her portrait. Can you help?” Li Qing asked.

“Of course I can help! With the portrait, it will be even more convenient.” The steward smiled.

“Are you sure you can find it?” Li Qing’s eyes flashed with hope.

‘”I’m afraid we can’t guarantee you anything. After all, finding someone like this sometimes depends on luck. I can only say that if the person you’re looking for appears in a crowded place, we’ll definitely be able to find her. But if she keeps hiding, goes out in the mountains, or covers her face, it’ll be hard to do.” The steward was in a bit of a dilemma.

“Well, it’s fine. Then try your best to find it.” Li Qing nodded.

“Then please draw the portrait!”

Li Qing picked up Mao Mo and the beautiful figure in his heart floated into his mind. Although he wasn’t good at painting and calligraphy, he was incomparably profound to the person in his heart, and he could draw it perfectly.

Very quickly, a beautiful woman leapt onto the paper. Of course, this was Liu Ke’er.

“So beautiful.” Chang Wudi couldn’t help but mutter to himself.

The steward only took a glance and immediately withdrew his gaze. He took the portrait over and said, “When we find this person, we will inform you as soon as possible.”

“Thank you! May I know the cost?” Li Qing asked.

‘”Since the person you are looking for is from the entire Eastern Region, you need to use a lot of people and resources, and it may last for a very long time. Normally, this kind of high difficulty service is charged according to a high standard. In total, you need to pay 3,000 spirit stones in advance. You can pay the other half when we find someone.” The steward said.

“Alright, no problem! With the reputation of your firm, I believe that you will not deceive the customers.” Li Qing took out the 1,500 spirit stones.

Just as he handed over the spirit stones, the steward’s expression suddenly changed. He seemed to have secretly received a voice transmission and said, “Wait a moment, I just received a message from the higher-ups saying that someone wants to see you.”

“Meet me?” Li Qing was puzzled.

“That’s right, I’ll see you alone. If it’s convenient, please come with me to the top floor!” The steward said.

Li Qing was somewhat doubtful. He wondered if it would be inappropriate for someone to suddenly meet like this.

Chang Wudi whispered, “Don’t worry, there are countless experts from such a large power in the entire Eastern Region, and they have a deep foundation. They won’t harm a young man like you. Moreover, no one dares to attack so easily in the Holy City.”

Since Chang Wudi had already said so, Li Qing nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll follow you up and see.”

Under the steward’s guidance, Li Qing quickly arrived at the top floor. This was the most mysterious place in the entire Mingfeng Trading Firm. Ordinary people wouldn’t be able to come here at all.

As soon as he reached the top floor, the steward behind him quietly retreated.

There was a huge screen in front of him that reflected a figure. Obviously, this was the person who wanted to see Li Qing.

He didn’t know what kind of mysterious person he was, and why didn’t he come out to meet him?

Under Li Qing’s curiosity, his divine sense swept through the screen, and he felt that the screen was confused and he couldn’t see it clearly. This made him a little surprised. Even his divine sense was unable to see clearly what was going on.

“Eh, divine sense? Brat, you actually have divine sense?” A voice sounded from within the screen. It could be heard that this was an extremely ancient voice, as if it had experienced countless years.

Li Qing’s expression changed. He only used his divine sense to scan and was detected by the other party. Isn’t this too terrifying?

“May I know who Senior is?” Li Qing immediately changed the topic.

The other party chuckled and did not dwell on the matter of divine sense. He said indifferently, “I am the leader of the entire Mingfeng Trading Firm. You can call me Daoist Mingfeng.”

“That’s why!” Li Qing suddenly realized that no wonder he was so powerful. It turned out that he was the owner of the entire Mingfeng Trading Firm. Perhaps he had at least a cultivation at the Void Realm.

“I wonder why Senior called me here today?”

“I’m very optimistic about your potential. If I want to take you as my disciple, I wonder if you’re willing?” Daoist Mingfeng’s faint voice sounded, but it caused waves in Li Qing’s heart.

Isn’t this too straightforward? Li Qing didn’t even react.

To be able to become a master of a Void Realm expert was definitely a great thing, something that ordinary people could not wait for.

If someone else encountered such a good thing, they might immediately agree to it. However, Li Qing was different. There were too many secrets on his body. He rashly hired someone he didn’t know as a teacher, causing endless troubles in the future.

Li Qing said respectfully, “I appreciate Senior’s kindness. However, I am already so old now, and my cultivation has reached the Xiantian realm. The path of cultivation has already been set, so I’m afraid I can’t continue with Senior’s mantle.”

Ordinary sects or experts would look for descendants who were younger than twenty years of age and had just begun the best path of cultivation. People like Li Qing, who had cultivated for so many years, were simply not suitable for others to accept disciples.

Daoist Mingfeng said, “I have already considered this point. If you take me as your master, you don’t need to change my cultivation method. We only have the status of master and disciple. You don’t need to inherit my mantle.”

Li Qing said, “What’s the point of having such a master and disciple?”

‘”Of course it’s meaningful. You don’t need to think so much about it. If you take me as your master, you will receive tremendous benefits. Mingfeng Trading Firm will give you enough cultivation resources free of charge to enjoy benefits that others won’t be able to enjoy. So many benefits are equivalent to giving them to you for nothing. Are you willing to agree?”

Li Qing still shook his head, “I’ve been cultivating alone for so long. I’m already used to being idle. I don’t want to be implicated. Please forgive me.”

After a moment of silence, the person behind the screen said, “You have some doubts in your heart. Are you worried that I will harm you?”

“I don’t dare! With Senior’s strength, if it’s not good for me, I’m afraid one hand can crush me to death.”

“The reason I want to take you as my disciple is to help me do something when you become stronger in the future! You don’t need to worry that I will be disadvantageous to you!” The other party said.

Li Qing still shook his head.

“He really has a firm will!” The person behind the screen sighed and continued, “I have a way to make you fully comprehend the unity of heaven and man. As a condition, are you willing to take me as your master?”

Li Qing’s heart trembled as he comprehended the unity of heaven and man? How was this possible! If he could really do this, wouldn’t he be able to mass produce Void Realm experts?

“I wonder why Senior thinks so highly of me?” Li Qing couldn’t help but ask the questions in his heart.

“Because you are an outstanding young man. A person like you is rare in the world. You are astonishing. I am very optimistic about your future. This is an investment in the future.” The other party said.

“Senior, you are overpraising me. I think there are still quite a few powerful people in the world. Why don’t we invite someone else to be smart?” Li Qing shook his head.

After a moment of silence, the air seemed to have turned cold. It took a long time for it to return to normal. Daoist Mingfeng said, “Forget it. Since you refuse, I won’t force you to leave.”

“Yes, this junior will retire!” Li Qing heaved a sigh of relief in his heart and immediately left this place.

Looking at Li Qing’s departing figure, the person behind the screen chuckled, “What a cautious brat! If you cultivate well, you might be able to become the second Polar Emperor. Unfortunately, this brat refuses! Hehe, after living for so long, you can always see many interesting people …”

…

Li Qing left Mingfeng Trading Firm, and his back couldn’t help but break out in cold sweat. In front of such an expert, he repeatedly rejected his good intentions. Who knew if this fellow would crush him to death in anger and embarrassment?

He always felt that the purpose of this mysterious person was not that simple. He should have a deeper intention. However, with Li Qing’s current level of knowledge, he was simply unable to guess.
