Chapter 1768: Secret Of The Wooden Box (1/2)

In fact, Shen Xiaoshan and the others were curious, just like the manager, about the magical content. There were so many treasures in the store yet Li Qiye was fixated on the box alone.

They gave it a careful look but couldn’t see what was special about it.

“I don’t know either.” Li Qiye shook his head: “But that’s why I must find out. Very few things could elude my gaze but here we are now. Isn’t this worth finding out?”

The manager was taken aback since he thought Li Qiye knew something and that’s why he wanted the box so bad. He didn’t wonder whether Li Qiye was telling the truth or not since the box was his now. No point in thinking about it.

“You are so wise already yet you still seek further knowledge, we are ashamed.” The manager cupped his fist and said: “I’m sure your future will be boundlessly brilliant once you cultivate.”

This was not an empty praise. He was an amazing expert but his knowledge was far inferior compared to a mortal like Li Qiye. That’s why he had a very high evaluation of Li Qiye.

“The grand dao is long and arduous, no need to rush.” Li Qiye said: “Cultivation is easy but maintaining one’s mind isn’t. Each step must be careful and polished along the way.”

The manager felt a sense of respect after hearing this: “Your words can grant others a flash of insight. If you are willing, sir, I will recommend you to the Jilin Clan. It is not a bad option.”

s.h.i.+ Sou’s group was shocked after hearing this. So many people in this region wanted to join the Jilin Clan. For example, if they could join, it would be like a phoenix soaring to the sky or a carp crossing the dragon gate. It was a glorious thing for both their ancestors and Sago Palm.

If Li Qiye could join the Jilin Clan without an examination, the result would be exactly what their master wanted. They could follow him and get connections there as well. Thus, the group jubilated and stared at Li Qiye, waiting for his response.

They all wanted him to say yes to this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, coveted by so many.

“Join the Jilin?” Li Qiye chuckled and shook his head: “Sorry, I’m not planning on having a teacher. The grand dao might be hard but I believe I can find my own path.”

His refusal stunned the group to the point where they almost jumped off the ground. It was too unbelievable since joining the clan was so prestigious but Li Qiye had just refused it.

They wanted to persuade him into thinking it over but this was not the time and place for them to interject.

“Sir, your ambition is too great for ordinary people like us to understand.” The manager was disappointed but didn’t force the issue.

Li Qiye smiled and gently waved his sleeve at the other three. They didn’t know what he wanted to talk with the manager about but they still quietly left.

He then looked at the manager and said: “I’m not interested in joining the Jilin Clan. however, I am about the thing that flew into the clan after the sixth expedition.”

“You!” The manager’s expression changed. He instantly took one step back with a terrible flash in his eyes. It was full of murderous intention now.

However, Li Qiye still sat there calmly and said: “Manager, no need for this. The fact that I am here to talk to you means that I can annihilate you, if it wasn’t for your respectful att.i.tude.”

The manager glared at Li Qiye for a long time before taking a deep breath and sitting down again.

He bowed and slowly said: “Sir, this is a top secret. How did you find out about it?”
