Chapter 509: Obtaining The Treasure
Nightsea was known to only have Yang Nightfish, so the existence of this turtle was already amazing in itself. This turtle definitely had to be a creature with intelligence. After hearing Li Qiye, it immediately nodded.
“That’s good, I like sensible people.” Li Qiye said as he smiled. Li Qiye then solemnly took out a bottle and carefully poured a drop of Myriad Star Water. The small bottle of Myriad Star Water had been used several times already, so now Li Qiye treasured every single drop.
“You… You are too wasteful! You are feeding a turtle Myriad Star Water!” Lan Yunzhu’s heart was bleeding. This was not her first time seeing Li Qiye’s wasteful extravagance. Back at the Thousand Islands, he had done something similar, but now, it was ridiculous to the point where he actually fed a turtle this valuable water.
She painfully said: “Do you not feel any remorse for doing so? Do you know how valuable this water is? This is something even Immortal Emperors desire, yet you are giving it to a turtle! You… have gone too far!”
“What? This… Is the legendary Myriad Star Water only meant for Immortal Emperors?” The daoist stammered after hearing this. He couldn’t help but stare in a daze with his tongue tied.
He had only heard of this supreme celestial item while other people actually questioned its existence. One drop of Myriad Star Water was even more valuable than a drop of emperor’s blood. And now, Li Qiye had actually fed this turtle something more valuable than emperor’s blood!
If this sort news were to be spread, countless people would be frightened to death. Some would definitely question the legitimacy of such a statement.
“This is way too luxurious, way too prodigal…!” After a long time, the daoist finally managed to utter one sentence. He wouldn’t have believed such a thing if he didn’t see it with his own eyes. He had seen extravagant spending before; some who hailed from emperor’s lineages would use Virtuous Paragon Refined Jades as their pocket change.
However, those people were nothing compared to Li Qiye. Using Myriad Star Water to feed a turtle — who could be more wasteful than him? Being wasteful to such an extent was beyond literary description. A drop of Myriad Star Water could reverse life and death in a last-minute situation. Such a precious item was a priceless treasure.
Li Qiye nonchalantly said: “The turtle requires Myriad Star Water to stimulate its potential. Otherwise, it can’t go into that place.”
The turtle knew that this drop of water was good stuff, so it stuck out its tongue and sucked in the water without wasting any.
“Buzzz!” The moment it swallowed the liquid, the flames erupting on its body became even stronger. The universal divine chains intertwined with the fire as if they were about to become an immortal chapter.
In the blink of an eye, these chains covered the entire turtle as if it was a turtle shell.
“Is it worth it? A drop of star water is even more precious than emperor’s blood.” After seeing the turtle taking in the water, Lan Yunzhu asked.
“Completely worth.” Li Qiye nodded his head instantly and replied: “If I can obtain this creation, then it would absolutely be worth it.”
“If? Only if?” Lan Yunzhu glared at him and said: “Do… Do you know what the word ‘if’ means?”
It wasn’t as if Lan Yunzhu had never seen treasures before. On the contrary, since she came from the Thousand Carp River and was its descendant, she had seen many unparalleled items. However, one drop of star water was not something just anyone could get. One could negotiate with emperor’s lineages for emperor’s blood, but the star water couldn’t be bought even with money.
Using the star water to make a gamble was too grand. The daoist shuddered; witnessing such decisiveness was quite rare.
Li Qiye smiled and responded: “It shouldn’t be a problem unless something unexpected happens.”
Lan Yunzhu angrily glared at him and said: “You should have just given it to me instead of wasting it like this.”
Li Qiye retorted by pointing at his lips and teased: “If you kiss me, then I can think about giving you a drop of star water.”
Her face was immediately flushed red as she angrily cursed: “Go to hell! Shameless!”
Li Qiye only laughed in response. Then, with a buzzing sound, ten palaces appeared and slowly opened. A tree branch appeared from within one of the palaces.
“Ten palaces…” The daoist absent-mindedly murmured after seeing the ten palaces above Li Qiye’s head.
The news of Li Qiye having nine stars and ten palaces had already been spread everywhere, but hearing about it as opposed to personally seeing it was completely different. Witnessing it with his own eyes left the daoist shaken.
