The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 580
Chapter 580 Zhendong Mansion (3)
The next morning, Li Qing woke up from his sleep. Looking at Liu Ke’er sleeping in his arms, a happy smile appeared on his face.
The temperature inside the room was very comfortable. It was filled with a tranquil aura. The burning spices and afterfragrance, coupled with the beauty’s embrace and the warm fragrance of nephrite, made Li Qing feel lazy and didn’t want to move.
At this moment, he heard the sound of a knife coming from outside. He got out of bed gently, put on his clothes, and walked out of the room.
It turned out that it was Wen Xiao who woke up early and cultivated a saber technique. Under the dawn light, the saber light burst forth, flickering with brilliance.
“You’re awake? I’m not disturbing you two, am I?” Wen Xiao stopped and smiled.
“Why are you disturbing me? Big Senior Brother, you’re too polite. I feel that you seem to treat us both a little differently.” Li Qing said.
“There’s nothing we can do about it. We’ve only just met. How could we get so familiar with each other so quickly? Besides … you’re so powerful and you have great kindness towards me. I really can’t put on airs like Senior Brother.” Wen Xiao smiled bitterly.
“Take your time. After you get familiar with it, it’ll be fine.” Li Qing said, “By the way, how is your cultivation recovering?”
“The situation is not bad. I have never felt so energetic. I feel as if my body is filled with energy at any time, continuously absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. This is the effect of a high-grade Xiantian!” Wen Xiaoxian was excited.
Li Qing nodded, “When you recover your strength, you won’t have to be bullied like this anymore. The future will be even better!”
…
In the morning, they went shopping in Jizhou City. Wen Xiao had lived in Jizhou City for several decades, and he was already very familiar with everything here. Under his leadership, Li Qing had truly opened his eyes.
“Isn’t that Wen Xiaoxian?” Along the way, there were always people pointing at him from behind.
“It’s him. He was rescued by a mysterious Void Realm. I didn’t expect that he would appear again today and become like a dog.” Someone said with disdain.
“I hugged the thigh of a Void Realm expert. Of course, I’m alive and well.”
Now that Wen Xiaoxian had recovered his Xiantian cultivation and put on a clean set of clothes, he was much more energetic than before. There was also a faint shadow of the elegance of the past. Naturally, it caused the surrounding crowd to be shocked.
“Ignore them. We just need to do our own thing.” Li Qing said softly.
“Mm, I understand. I’ve endured so many years of humiliation. Why would I care about such a trivial rumor?” Wen Xiaoxian’s expression was very calm.
“Why do I feel that you humans are so complicated? Why don’t you be demons? The demon-type world is much simpler. Look at me, blank is like a piece of white paper.” Xiao Bai said innocently.
Li Qing was instantly furious, “You still have the nerve to say that you are as innocent as white paper? I have never seen such an eccentric little fellow like you!”
“I haven’t done anything. I just want to sleep with Sister Ke’er. Is there a problem?” Xiao Bai widened his black and white eyes, unable to see any impurities.
“Li Qing, why are you bullying little sister Xiao Bai again?” Liu Ke’er blamed him.
“Alright, I was wrong.” Li Qing didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
“Let’s go. I’ll take you to the ancient streets in the old city. There are all kinds of ancient items there. If your eyes were a little brighter, you might be able to get some good stuff.” Wen Xiao said first.
The Ancient Street of Jizhou City was also a famous place. It had always existed. No one knew when it was built, as if it existed along with the history of Jizhou City.
By the time Li Qing and the others arrived at the ancient street, it was already a bustling scene. It was bustling with people. Xiantian experts were like buying vegetables in a vegetable market. They often saw the children of one or two great powers.
“This place is really lively.” Liu Ke’er praised.
“Of course, many old youtiao like to come to the ancient streets to search for treasures. They want to buy precious treasures at a low price. Of course, those who dare to come to search for treasures have two brushes. If they don’t have these abilities, then they will be slaughtered.” Wen Xiao said first.
Passing by a stall, Li Qing couldn’t help but stop.
“Boss, how much is this bronze wine bottle?” Li Qing casually picked up an ancient item and pretended to ask inadvertently.
The stall owner was obviously an experienced person. Any guest who hadn’t seen him before would naturally not be deceived by Li Qing’s expression. He could tell at a glance that he was putting on an act. Immediately, the lion shouted, “A thousand spirit stones.”
Li Qing was shocked, “So expensive? Are you kidding?”
“This guest officer, you must clearly see that this item is an item from 30,000 years ago. This type of item is unique to the ancient kingdom of the Great Liang. The copper rust on it has traces of time. It cannot be faked.”
Li Qing sneered, “Regardless of how many years you have, no matter how old it is, it’s just an ordinary item. It’s still worth a thousand spirit stones? A mouthful of it, five spirit stones!”
The vendor almost spat out a mouthful of blood, “What? Five spirit stones? Do you have a counteroffer like this? It’s almost like giving them away! How about this, 800 spirit stones, can’t be any lower!”
“Ten spirit stones!”
“Five hundred spirit stones…”
After intense bargaining, the price was finally set at 170 spirit stones.
Just as Li Qing was about to pay, a voice suddenly came from the side, “Wait, I want this bronze wine bottle!”
Li Qing raised his head. It turned out to be Zhendong Mansion of Ninth Prince. It was really a narrow path for enemies. It was really unfortunate to be able to meet him in this place.
“First come, first served. Do you understand?” Li Qing said in a deep voice.
“Those in the antique business will get the highest price. I’m willing to offer 500 spirit stones. Boss, do you want to sell them?” The Ninth Prince said gloomily.
“Sell, of course!” The vendor nodded repeatedly.
“Wait, I’ll give you a thousand spirit stones!” Li Qing’s expression was extremely ugly.
“I have plenty of spirit stones. Two thousand!” The Ninth Prince said proudly.
“Three thousand!” Li Qing immediately increased the price. When the vendor heard the rising price, he laughed so hard that his mouth almost cracked open.
“Four thousand!”
“Five thousand!”
The Ninth Prince hesitated for a moment. After all, 5,000 was no longer a small sum. If it was used in the right way, there would naturally be no need to feel sad. However, buying such a tattered item of unknown origin made him feel a little unhappy.
However, with his personality, how could he easily admit defeat: “Six thousand!”
Li Qing smiled and said, “Since you want this so much, I’ll give it to you. I don’t want it anymore.”
“You!” The Ninth Prince felt as if he had been tricked, and his face flushed red. However, it was useless to regret it now, so he had no choice but to forcibly buy it.
Li Qing casually picked up an ancient lampstand beside him and asked, “How many spirit stones are these?”
The vendor couldn’t help but be stunned as he thought to himself, “Could this be the real purpose of this person? The bronze wine bottle in front of him is just a cover?”
He had never seen such an antique business before. He could see through such a small trick with a single glance.
“This is something from 50,000 years ago. The lampstand used by the Yuan Emperor back then has unparalleled historical significance. It costs 4,000 spirit stones!”
Li Qing almost spat out a mouthful of blood, “You must at least pay attention to the Basic Law when you cheat people. The moment you open your mouth, it will be four thousand. Why don’t you go die?”
“Isn’t the lampstand used by the Yuan Emperor worth four thousand?”
“Cut the crap. Do you want to sell a hundred spirit stones?”
“Deal!” The peddler agreed.
Li Qing sighed, “It’s expensive again.”
“Wait, I want this!” Ninth Prince, who was beside him, immediately jumped out and did something bad.
“How much are you paying?” The vendor immediately smiled.
“Two hundred spirit stones!”
Li Qing hurriedly followed, “A thousand spirit stones…”
Following that, there was another intense bidding, raising the price to 5,000 spirit stones. Li Qing decisively gave it up again and gave it to the Ninth Prince, causing him to vomit blood.
“Are you trying to deceive me?” The Ninth Prince said angrily.
“Who told you to ruin my good fortune? There’s nothing to blame for me cheating on you, right?” Li Qing laughed heartily.
Immediately after, he picked up another dirty pearl from the stall and asked, “How much is this thing worth?”
When the Ninth Prince saw this, he was very hesitant and didn’t know if he should make a move. The previous few bids had cost him tens of thousands of spirit stones, so he could no longer use his emotions.
This time, he did not bid again and watched coldly.
In the end, Li Qing successfully bought the pearl for two hundred spirit stones. His face was filled with unconcealable joy.
Standing up, Li Qing said to the Ninth Prince, “Thank you, Ninth Prince, for giving this treasure to me.”
The Ninth Prince’s gaze narrowed as he said in a deep voice, “Do you want to lure me into being tricked again? I don’t believe that this is a treasure!”
Li Qing smiled faintly. In front of the other party, he removed the filth from the pearl and injected it with true essence. Instantly, it emitted a blurry yellow light.
“Hmph, it’s just a luminous pearl. What’s so great about it?” The Ninth Prince said with disdain.
“Then watch carefully.” In front of everyone, Li Qing controlled the bead to fly up, merging into the space between his eyebrows and disappearing.
“How is this possible!” The Ninth Prince cried out.
“You said it was a treasure, but you still don’t believe it.” Li Qing chuckled.
“What kind of treasure is this? It can actually fly into the sea of consciousness!” The Ninth Prince gritted his teeth and was so angry that his entire body trembled.
“No comment.” Li Qing laughed heartily.
Seeing this scene, the vendor couldn’t help but let out a heart-wrenching cry, “Heavens, this guy is too sinister. It turns out that this pearl is his real target. A treasure that can fly into his sea of consciousness, how precious it should be! This time, it’s a loss of blood!”
Li Qing asked, “Tell me, how did you get this pearl?”
The peddler’s face stiffened, “No comment!”
Li Qing took out a small bag of spirit stones and said, “If you tell me its origin, this bag of spirit stones will belong to you!”
