Chapter 155 : Competing Wealth with me? (1)
Finally, Nan Huairen calmed down and couldn’t help but curse:
“Fuck, there are too many crooks here, ah.”
“Ancient Sky City has existed for such a long time and is one of the biggest cities in the Grand Middle Territory, it is not surprising to have so many crooks.”
Li Qiye smilingly responded.
They went past a few block without stopping. Li Qiye was in no hurry and he slowly stepped forward. The truth was that he wanted Nan Huairen to see the world.
A few blocks later, they met many more people who were selling corpses; some real and some fake. Not everyone was a scammer.
In a corner of the street, a grandpa cultivator was sitting with a skull presented in front of him. It emitted a cold air so many people gathered to see. The group of Nan Huairen also came to join in the fun.
“Dao friend, how do you want to sell this skull?”
A cultivator who knew his stuff asked after seeing the skull.
One person, who couldn’t handle the expensive price, responded instead:
“He’s only exchanging for a Life Wheel, an Ancient Saint Life Wheel. Plus, he only wants it from the Heavenly Devil race!”
“I have an Ancient Saint’s True Treasure, trade or no?”
A cultivator asked.
The seller did not say anything; it was a clear refusal. However, from his aura, no one dared to have any strange thoughts.
At this moment, the group of Nan Huairen looked at Li Qiye. He nodded his head and said:
“An Ancient Saint skull, carrying saintly power.”
He turned around after speaking.
“It’s the real deal?”
The group of Nan Huairen quickly chased after Li Qiye. Nan Huairen was afraid of being cheated so he was very paranoid.
“It’s the real deal.”
Li Qiye nodded his head and said:
“A dying Ancient Saint poured all of his blood energy into the skull to maintain the saintly power. This thing was not any weaker than an Ancient Saint’s True Treasure.”
“Because it is a skull carrying the blood energy of an Ancient Saint?”
Qu Daoli was astonished. An Ancient Saint’s True Treasure was worth many times more than an Ancient Saint’s Life Treasure.
“No, because of its origin. This was the skull of the Ancient Ming race, it has extremely tyrannical Yin killing intent.”
Li Qiye gently sighed. The words “Ancient Ming” reminded him of a few things.
“The Ancient Ming race? There is such a race? How come I have never heard of it before?”
Luo Fenghua curiously asked.
“It existed.”
Li Qiye nodded his head as he stared towards the far horizon, and he slowly spoke:
“In this current world, it will be difficult to find the first clan of the Ancient Ming!”
As he finished speaking, a chilling aura could be found deep in his eyes.
Li Shuangyan immediately felt a change in Li Qiye, but she didn’t ask for the reason.
The group went through a few more blocks. Outside of the large auction houses and stores, they saw many street vendors. Corpses were the most common items.
“Oldest Brother, why are there so many people selling corpses in this place?”
Xu Pei whispered.
Li Qiye answered with a smile:
“What is the name of this place? It is called Corpse City! It is right outside of the Ancient Heavenly Corpse Burial Ground. And, there is another reason for this — many people steal the corpses of the dead, here. This burial ground contains too many corpses. Some were even invincible during their eras, so many cultivators take the risk to rob the graves. This is why many people sell corpses here. This is a profession that has existed for countless years now.”
Hearing this, Xu Pei felt a bit more relieved.
Inside the city, there weren’t only street vendors, one could even see the sects and different races. Seeing people with human heads along with a snake body or a human body with horse legs was not at all uncommon.
A big, burly man walked by Li Qiye and he attracted Nan Huairen’s gaze. The man’s body was entirely made out of rock, and his face looked like it was crafted from being carved.
“Is this a rock gaining awareness from cultivating the dao?”
Seeing this person walking away, Zhang Yu curiously asked.
Li Qiye didn’t answer because Shi Gandang, who was following him, replied:
