The peddler immediately revealed a greedy gaze. “I collected this pearl from Beimang Mountain. There are grave robbers who specialize in digging. You can go there and look for it.”

“Very good, this bag of spirit stones belongs to you.” Li Qing nodded in satisfaction and tossed the bag of spirit stones to the other party. He could sense that the vendor was not lying.

The Ninth Prince felt that he had been tricked and said angrily, “Brat, don’t be too proud. If you have the guts to come to the palace tonight, I’ll see if you dare to be so arrogant then!”

Li Qing was too lazy to pay attention to him. He turned around and left. He was so angry that he jumped up and down. However, he couldn’t beat Li Qing. He didn’t dare to make a move so easily. He could only secretly endure it.

He is the prince of Zhendong Prefecture. He has always been tyrannical. He has never suffered such a great loss before. Watching Li Qing leave, he fiercely scolded, “A Xiantian tenth layer dares to act wildly in Jizhou City. I really want to see if you can walk out alive!”

Yesterday, he thought that Li Qing was a Void Realm expert. Later, he heard the butler say that he was only at the tenth level of the Xiantian realm. At most, he was a bit more powerful, so he didn’t put Li Qing in his eyes.

On the way, Liu Ke’er whispered, “Li Qing, what kind of treasure is this pearl? It’s so miraculous that it can actually merge into your sea of consciousness?”

“This item is called the Divine Evolution Pearl. It is a supreme treasure of the soul type. There is no need to elaborate on its specific effects.” Li Qing said mysteriously.

“Originally, I was worried that you would be slaughtered in the Ancient Street, but I didn’t expect you to be so sinister. You tricked the Ninth Prince and the experienced stall owner, causing them to suffer a huge loss.” Wen Xiao said first.

“Actually, I’m not really lacking those thousands of spirit stones. I’m just enjoying the fun of Taobao. It feels pretty good.” Li Qing was slightly pleased with himself.

They continued to wander around the ancient street. Li Qing used his divine sense to scan the streets and found a few more good treasures. He bought them at a low price and gave them to Liu Ke’er and Xiao Bai.

“What’s the use of this shit?” Xiao Bai looked at the broken bowl in his hand with disdain and curled his lips.

“If you don’t want it, then give it back to me!” Li Qing stretched out his hand to seize it.

“That won’t do. You gave it to me. How could you take it back?” Xiao Bai hugged the broken bowl in his arms and refused to let go even if he died.

“Didn’t you hate it?”

“Even if I hate it, it’s already mine now. I’ll throw it into the garbage can another day and I won’t return it to you.” Xiao Bai said proudly.

“Don’t really lose it. This is an incomplete spirit artifact. It’s no different from an ordinary broken bowl because of the loss of spirit.”

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted from behind, “Li Qing? Why are you here?”

Li Qing turned around and saw a bearded man standing behind him. This was the disciple of the Heavenly Thunder Sect, the Thunder Sovereign, he had just met a few days ago.

“I came here to take a look. Why are you here?” Li Qing asked.

“Passing by Jizhou City, I came in to take a look, but I didn’t expect to meet you here.” Venerable Lei smiled and said, “I haven’t properly thanked you for saving my life. If it weren’t for your help, I would have died in the Blood Sea Array that day.”

“It’s just a matter of effort. At that time, I also wanted to find out what kind of conspiracy the other party was planning. Since I encountered him, it’s impossible for me not to save him.” Li Qing smiled.

‘”These are …” Thunder Sovereign looked to the side.

“This is my wife, Liu Ke’er. The other is my Eldest Senior Brother, Wen Xiaoxian, and this is Xiao Bai.” Li Qing introduced them one by one.

“Wen Xiaoxian?” The Thunder Sovereign seemed to have heard of it before, and then his eyes widened, “Heavens, it can’t be that Wen Xiaoxian, right?”

“Uh… If nothing unexpected happens, it should be that one.” Li Qing naturally knew what he was referring to.

“Wen Xiaoxian is really your eldest senior brother?”

“That’s right, I haven’t seen him for decades. I finally found him in Jizhou City.” Li Qing nodded.

“Then do you know what happened to Wen Xiaoxian?”

“Of course I know. Yesterday, there was a conflict with people from Zhendong Mansion.”

“Alright, this matter will be difficult to handle. I’m afraid Zhendong Mansion will not let it go. You must be careful not to be harmed by them.” Venerable Thunder had a serious expression on his face.

“They invited me to meet them in Zhendong Mansion tonight. Do you think there’s any tricks involved?” Li Qing asked.

“Tonight? I also received an invitation from Zhendong Mansion. He also invited me to meet him.” Venerable Lei’s face was a little surprised.

“Could it be that Zhendong Mansion invited many guests, not just me?” Li Qing was a little surprised.

“That should be the case. However, this can be considered a good thing. The more guests there are, the less need to worry about their plot. With your strength, an ordinary person can’t do anything to you. You don’t need to be too cautious.” Venerable Thunder laughed.

“Having invited so many guests, it seems that Zhendong Mansion wants to humiliate me in public.” Li Qing sneered.

With Zhendong Mansion’s influence, it was very simple to invite one or two Void Realm Elders. They thought that they could crush Li Qing to death. What could a mere Xiantian Tenth Layer do to defend against them?

Lei Zun said, “Forget it, let’s not talk about these things. Since we met in Jizhou City today, in order to repay your life-saving kindness, I’ll treat you to a big meal. I wonder if I can show you my respect?”

“Of course.” Li Qing smiled and nodded.

“Let’s go. I’ll take you to one of the best restaurants in Jizhou City.” Venerable Lei pulled Li Qing’s arm and led the way.

Not long after, they arrived in front of a magnificent three-story building.

Li Qing’s expression was a little strange, because the restaurant in front of them was the Mo Clan Restaurant that they had visited before and had caused unhappiness. Why are you running back here?

Without letting him say anything else, Lei Zun excitedly walked into the restaurant and shouted, “Shopkeeper, come out to pick up the guests!”

A waiter immediately greeted him. When he saw Lei Zun, he immediately smiled and said, “So it’s Eldest Young Master Lei. Please come upstairs. Our shopkeeper will be here soon.”

“Alright, lead the way. Today, I will treat you to a banquet. Bring the most precious dishes here immediately.” Venerable Thunder waved his hand very straightforwardly.

“Come, this way, please!” The waiter led the way.

This Mo Clan Restaurant was incredibly large. It was simply a complicated world, with a wide and beautiful corridor and a magnificent hall that was dazzling to the eyes.

“Greetings, Young Master Lei.” The two rows of beautiful maids in front of the door lowered their heads and bowed respectfully.

“Let’s go in.” Venerable Thunder pushed open the door and took the lead in entering.

The five of them quickly sat down. The waiter ran over and brought them tea and water. “Please wait a moment, Young Master Lei. The wine and dishes will be served soon,” he said.

“Mm, that’s enough. You guys can go down.” Lei Zun waved his hand.

…

The shopkeeper of the Mo Clan Restaurant hurriedly rushed over after receiving the news of the arrival of the Thunder Sovereign. Behind him were Mo Jun, Mo Yu, and Mo Yan.

Shopkeeper Mo turned around and said, “I want to see a big shot in Jizhou City later. He is the eldest young master of the Lei Clan, and he is also a direct disciple of the Heavenly Thunder Sect. You must be careful and don’t speak nonsense at that time.”

“I know, Third Uncle!” Mo Jun revealed a flattering smile and secretly calculated in his heart, at that time, he must properly flatter that Young Master Lei and coax him into being comfortable. Perhaps, he would casually give him a treasure.

The reason Shopkeeper Mo brought them to see the Thunder Sovereign was because he wanted these three descendants to show their faces and make friends with some young geniuses. This way, it would be of great benefit to the future development of Shopkeeper Mo.

The power of the Mo Clan was actually not small, and it might not necessarily be much weaker than the Lei Clan. However, the problem was that their status as collateral descendants was too low, so they could only curry favor with them.

Even Third Uncle Mo, who controlled this restaurant, did not have much status in the clan.

Most of the clansmen who went out to take care of the family business were not very successful in their cultivation. They could only take this path of doing business and were regarded as lowly businesses by others.

The genius disciples of the Mo Clan simply didn’t need to pay attention to these trivial matters. They only needed to focus on cultivating. Moreover, they didn’t need to curry favor with the Thunder Sovereign like this. They could even talk to the Thunder Sovereign on equal terms. How could they flatter and curry favor like Mo Jun?

“I heard that this Reverend Lei is very straightforward. He shouldn’t be able to close the door like Li Qing. As long as he can please him, the chances of receiving a reward are very high.” Mo Jun was delighted.

They soon arrived on the second floor. Third Uncle Mo knocked lightly on the door and heard a voice from inside, “Come in!”

“Haha, Big Young Master Lei is here. I’m sorry to have failed to welcome him from afar. It’s truly a sin.” Shopkeeper Mo smiled.

“It doesn’t matter. Anyway, it’s about the same. As long as we treat him well, it’ll be fine.” Venerable Thunder nodded casually.

“May I know who these people are?” Shopkeeper Mo pointed at Li Qing and the others.

“They’re all my friends!” Thunder Sovereign introduced them one by one.

Mo Jun, Mo Yu, and Mo Yan followed closely in. When they saw Li Qing’s face, they couldn’t help but be stunned.

“This is… Li Qing? Why is he here?” Mo Jun almost popped his eyes out, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.

“He’s actually Venerable Thunder’s friend! Heavens!” Mo Yu and Mo Yan sucked in a breath of cold air.

“At that time, I thought Brother Li Qing was extraordinary. As expected.” Mo Yan sighed softly.

Shopkeeper Mo turned around and shouted, “Why are you still standing at the door? Why don’t you hurry in?”

Only then did the three Mo Clan disciples obediently enter the room, their expressions extremely reserved.

“These are all disciples of my Mo Clan. They have just arrived in Jizhou City. I want to let him see how magnificent the young masters of the big clans in the city are, so as to avoid seeing you in the future and not knowing Mount Tai.” Manager Mo said with a flattering smile.

“You guys, haven’t you come to see Eldest Young Master Lei?”

“Greetings, Young Master Lei!” The three of them said respectfully.

“That’s right, they’re all young heroes. However, I’m not the main character today. I’m mainly here to entertain these honorable friends.” Venerable Thunder pointed at Li Qing beside him.
