Chapter 508: Exchange (2/2)
The drowsiness immediately went away as the elf stared at Lan Yunzhu’s items. This elf looked at one thing and touched another; all of them were definitely to his liking.
Li Qiye looked at the elf touching the items and smiled to say: “Aizz, girls always have things that these elves like the most; they’ll always have eight to ten pieces of golden jewelry.”
“I want all of them!” The elf shouted. This came as no surprise since Lan Yunzhu’s jewelry were all very finely crafted. Who wouldn’t like them?
Lan Yunzhu then excitedly responded: “Then what treasure will you take out to trade with me?”
“The Reverse-time Shuttle is something I really like, it's extremely precious.” The elf took out a round container and replied. [1. A shuttle in a loom, not a s.h.i.+p.]
Standing beside them, Li Qiye immediately said: “Trade it.”
Under Li Qiye’s instruction, Lan Yunzhu grabbed the round container right away and pushed her items into the elf’s hands. She then smiled and said: “Deal!”
The elf was very happy and coiled himself, falling back to sleep.
Lan Yunzhu then ran back to Li Qiye while holding the round container. She was the river sect’s descendant, a high and above G.o.ddess in the eyes of others, but at this moment, she was like an excited little girl in front of Li Qiye.
“What is this treasure?” Lan Yunzhu handed the container over to Li Qiye and asked.
Li Qiye took a careful look. The simple and round lines were extremely smooth; ordinary people would not be able to see what was magical about it. He rubbed the container and praised: “Good stuff, very amazing.”
“What are the mysticisms behind this Reverse-time Shuttle?” Lan Yunzhu couldn’t see through it, so she asked again.
Li Qiye had seen countless treasures. He noticed some clues but didn’t want to tell Lan Yunzhu. He instead answered with a smile: “You have to study this yourself. Only then would it become a treasure that belongs to you. Then, it would not be limited to being only a tool or a weapon.”
“Fine, I’ll meditate on it by myself later then.” Lan Yunzhu gave him a look and said. Nevertheless, she was still quite happy to have this Reverse-time Shuttle. As an imperial descendant, she had seen emperor’s weapons before, but this Reverse-time Shuttle had a different significance. It was something that she traded for with Li Qiye’s guidance, so she liked it a lot.
“Okay, Uncle, we both got treasures so it is your turn. We can leave once you obtain a treasure too.” Lan Yunzhu urged Li Qiye.
Li Qiye sat by the lake and took out a treasure box; inside was a burning turtle. This was the turtle taken from Nightsea, a Yang Night-turtle.
After Li Qiye’s training, this turtle became very obedient unlike its previous rebellious self.
“What kind of divine turtle is this?” Lan Yunzhu noticed the flames on top of the divine universal chains and asked.
Even the most unaware individual would know that this turtle was extraordinary.
“A Yang Night-turtle from Nightsea.” Li Qiye’s forehead loosened up as a brilliance suddenly flashed. A universal law chain locked the turtle once again.
“There are turtles in Nightsea?” The daoist asked in astonishment: “I’ve never heard of anyone fis.h.i.+ng anything out of Nightsea besides Nightfis.h.!.+”
Lan Yunzhu was also surprised. Up till this point, the people of the Sacred Nether World knew that Nightsea only had Nightfish. For millions of years, there had never been any tales indicating otherwise.
Now, a turtle suddenly showed up from Nightsea. Anyone would know that this turtle must be extremely heaven-defying.
Li Qiye looked at the turtle in his palm and said: “We’ll make a deal. You go get something for me, and I’ll give you a creation as well as find someone to take you back to Nightsea. In the future, when you become accomplished with the dao, the Ancestral Flow will take care of you inside Necropolis. Of course, if you don’t want to, I won’t force you, but I have to let you know that I will be making a turtle hot pot tonight. Don’t even dream about escaping, it is useless with my divine chain around you.”
“You call this a deal? You are clearly threatening it.” Lan Yunzhu threw a frustrated glance at Li Qiye and said.
Li Qiye’s eyes squinted as he smiled and said: “You are right, I am threatening it and I'm not joking around.”
When Li Qiye narrowed his eyes, not to mention Lan Yunzhu who knew him too well, even the turtle in his hand shuddered. It felt that if it couldn't escape, then its fate would be even worse than becoming turtle stew.
“If you agree to the deal, then nod your head and I’ll grant you a creation.” Li Qiye smiled and said. At this point, his demeanor appeared to be very harmless, but Lan Yunzhu and the daoist both s.h.i.+vered. They felt that Li Qiye’s current appearance was the most frightening.
