Chapter 2145: Who Can Move Him? (2/2)

The old man simply took out another treasure and placed it in the middle of the other two as a replacement. He closed his eyes again, not giving a d.a.m.n about the youth.

He cried and lamented about his clan but it all fell on deaf ears.

“Senior, my young sister has always been sick, bed-ridden. Recently, a nightmare ghost has been possessing her too, please give me a treasure to protect her.” People tried to copy the girl’s sad story again.

No one was able to replicate the same success despite the sad stories.

“Why only that girl? Not all of them are lying.” w.a.n.g Han observed for a long time before wondering.

“It has nothing to do with tragedies or sad circ.u.mstances.” Li Qiye smiled: “Too many people live terrible lives, you can’t save them all. The sad story isn’t the thing moving him but rather, the secret behind it.”

“The secret?” w.a.n.g Han carefully a.n.a.lyzed that girl earlier again but still couldn’t come up with anything.

Meanwhile, the old man continued to ignore the rest of the crowd.

People eventually gave up on sad stories and tried something different. All were useless.

“Let me try.” A confident voice came about.

People looked over and saw an awe-inspiring youth walking forward.

“That’s the Young Lord of the Peng Clan.” Someone immediately recognized him.

This was the youth who sneered at Li Qiye back at the palace. He heard something interesting was going on near the enterprise and came running.

He slightly bowed at the old man before slowly taking out a bottle and opening it. A faint medicinal fragrance billowed.

“ A Longevity Pill!” An old cultivator recognized the scent immediately.

People’s eyes turned bright after hearing this, especially the older ones.

“Senior, this is a precious pill personally refined by Venerable Ye of our Insane Court. How about I trade this for a treasure of yours?” He asked the old man.

“Venerable Ye, that’s the most famous alchemist in Insane Court.” The crowd gasped after hearing this.

“A pill from Venerable Ye is indeed priceless.” The older cultivators could feel their heart beating faster since these pills were too necessary for them.

“That’s a good pill for sure.” w.a.n.g Han nodded: “Venerable Ye is the best alchemist for our power. Any pill created by him can be considered priceless.”

“I heard an ancestor from Chu Camp couldn’t even get one after asking her.” Shengping had heard of Venerable Ye’s fame as well.

Of course, someone like him couldn’t ask the alchemist for a pill either.

Venerable Ye was from a tiny country but enjoyed great status in the court. All four powers wanted to recruit him.

All eyes were on the old man now. Anyone who was old would want these pills. What was more important than prolonging one’s life? They thought that Weijin’s pill would be able to move him. Alas, this was not the case.

“How about another pill?” Weijin made up his mind and took out another bottle. It took a lot of effort to get two pills but he also really wanted the old man’s treasures.

Unfortunately, the old man had zero interest in these pills and ignored Weijin.
