Chapter 508: Exchange
“Ah… Hmm… It seems that I have a little bit.” The daoist searched his pockets to see if he could find any gold. He was more fortunate than Lan Yunzhu; since he regularly calculated others’ fortune, he coincidentally had some gold. After spending half a day looking, he finally had a few bits of gold.
He then excitedly asked Li Qiye: “Young n.o.ble, will each elf have different treasures?”
“Yes! Each elf has their own special treasure. You are free to do as you please.” Li Qiye smiled and added: “If you want, you can try to divine it as well to see which elf is right for you.”
“That… won’t be necessary, I’ll just test my luck.” The daoist simply closed his eyes and picked a random “rock.” He wanted to test his luck for a change.
“What do you want?” The awakened elf was very annoyed. Any sleeper being woken would be unhappy. The elf then glared at the daoist and angrily exclaimed: “Brat, if you are not here to trade, then I’ll beat you into a pig’s head!”
The daoist opened his palm to show off the bits of gold and quickly said: “I want to trade for a creation.”
The elf’s green eyes immediately opened up wide after seeing the sparkling gold bits in the daoist’s hand. His sleepiness immediately disappeared. Li Qiye was right, these elves really liked gold.
“I want all of it!” The elf quickly gathered all the gold bits into his own pocket, then he took a look at Daoist Heaven Calculating: “Oh, a ghost, and a lying swindler ghost at that!”
The daoist became speechless when the Heart-ghost Tribe were dubbed lying swindlers by the elf. He let out a wry smile and tried to explain: “I am part of the Heart-ghost Tribe, we specialize in divining for others.”
“I know.” The elf said with a clearly disinterested appearance: “There is nothing redeeming about these ghosts!”
The daoist was completely dumbfounded once again. What could he say to counter these words?
Li Qiye and Lan Yunzhu both exploded in laughter; the daoist became quite embarra.s.sed.
“Take it. Because of the gold, I’ll give you the Divine Board of River Luo. Hmph, if you didn’t give me gold, I would never have decided to give you such a nice item like this!” The elf threw a treasure towards the daoist then coiled up and went back to sleep.
The daoist looked at the divine board in his hands. His eyes brightened and he emotionally exclaimed: “This… This is a great treasure for divining. It’s even better than the turtle sh.e.l.l left behind by my ancestors!”
“Of course.” Li Qiye smiled and said: “Inside the Prime Ominous Grave, the fortunes in this Secret Realm are amazing. As long as you have the luck to enter, you will have a great harvest.”
“Thank you for your help.” The daoist bowed again towards Li Qiye. If Li Qiye didn’t bring him along, then he wouldn’t have been able to enter this Secret Realm.
“Now it’s your turn to test your luck.” Li Qiye smiled at Lan Yunzhu and continued: “If you are lucky, maybe you will be able to trade for something great.”
Lan Yunzhu looked at the group of elves but couldn’t make a decision right away. After looking at them for a while, she then looked over at Li Qiye with puppy dog eyes.
“Don’t look at me, I will not give you a treasure.” Li Qiye denied as he shook his head.
Lan Yunzhu cheerfully smiled and said: “Uncle, your eyes are as bright as torches and are sharp enough to see through all things; will you choose an elf for me?” She acted a bit coquettishly like a pampered child and continued on: “I know that Uncle is a person who knows all things under the heavens and above the earth. My admiration for you spans as long as the endless rivers…”
“Okay, stop flattering me, it’s so fake.” Li Qiye angrily said: “I will pick an elf for you.”
Lan Yunzhu then threw a gentle and lovable smile at him and said: “I knew that Uncle was a nice person!”
“Don’t keep on using the beauty trap or I’ll really have you tonight.” Li Qiye’s direct words left Lan Yunzhu fl.u.s.tered. She quickly elbowed his chest and angrily shouted: “Go die, pervert!”
Li Qiye couldn’t help but laugh. After looking for a while, he pointed to a sleeping elf: “That one, maybe you will have an unexpected harvest.”
Lan Yunzhu happily ran over and woke up the sleeping elf.
“What do you have to trade with me?” The elf got up and asked.
Lan Yunzhu immediately took out some s.h.i.+ning golden items and placed them in front of the elf.
Who said only the Secret Realm’s elves liked bright things? Women also loved them. The items she took out were not treasures, they were just some of her jewelry. Even the most simple and elegant girl would carry some golden jewelry around, and female cultivators were no exceptions.
