Chapter 1300: The Lord Of Bones Island
Old Chu smilingly responded: “As people say, you get what you pay for. The bottle that gentleman brought earlier isn’t something you can afford.”
The cultivator was embarrassed after hearing this. He looked at him and asked: “Can your talismans really protect us?”
“Like I said just now, you get what you pay for. If one talisman isn’t enough, put a few more on. You won’t be able to go too far with these cheap goods though.” The old man grinned.
There was nothing the cultivator could do. He felt that he got swindled by the old man again.
Even though some people felt that Old Chu was slightly untrustworthy, several still bought these protection talismans and hoped for the best.
As for irrationally expensive items like this hand of the immortal, they didn’t dare ask about buying them.
“Clang, clang, clang…” After seeing the interest die down, Old Chu left the restaurant and began his peddling once more while ringing his bell: “Immemorial secret bones, heaven-seer divine gaze, the hand of an immortal…”
Li Qiye chuckled. He handed money to the waiter and left as well.
Old Chu only left slightly before Li Qiye and didn’t walk too fast, so Li Qiye caught up right away.
He was not in a rush to talk to Old Chu, so he leisurely tailed the old man while looking at the buildings and pretty scenes around Bones Island.
It seemed that the old man didn’t notice Li Qiye behind him. He walked and shook the bell in his hand while loudly advertising.
In this fashion, the two of them slowly walked through several streets. The moment they reached an alley, Old Chu stopped and slowly turned around.
His cheekbones produced a smile as he asked: “Sir, do you still want to buy more?”
Li Qiye walked forward and looked at him to say: “I don’t want to buy anything, but I do want to meet your master, the lord of this island.”
“Ah, Sir, I’m afraid there is a misunderstanding. We don’t have a master or an island lord.” Old Chu laughed in response.
Li Qiye flatly stated: “I don’t wish to repeat myself.”
The old man was still smiling. He shook his head and replied: “Sir, this lowly one is only a nobody trying to do some business, I don’t understand what you are—”
Before he could finish, he was suddenly frozen still. A law from Li Qiye pinned itself to Old Chu’s forehead. Li Qiye took action without any warning; he was faster than time itself, so Old Chu didn’t have a chance to respond.
“Crack!” With lightning speed, Li Qiye removed a bone from Old Chu’s body. At the same moment, the old skeleton seemingly turned into a puppet that was falling apart, scattering all over the ground.
The sound of bones breaking came about. This bone was shattered completely in Li Qiye’s hand. However, the crushed powder didn’t fall to the ground; it floated in the air and abruptly formed a small black hole.
Li Qiye stepped inside without any hesitation. When he disappeared, the black hole quickly collapsed. Outside of the bones scattered on the ground, it was as if nothing had happened.
“Bang!” When the black hole disappeared completely, the bone that Li Qiye removed came back together and fell to the ground.
“Clack, clack, clack!” The sound of bones coming together emerged. The strangest thing happened when that single bone fell to the ground. All the scattered bones reconnected and a complete skeleton was formed.
Old Chu got up from the ground. He unexpectedly acted just like before by picking up the bell and carrying his big trunk. The bell sounded once more while he shouted away.
Up in the sky where the white clouds drifted in the distance was a floating palace. Its size was modest, and there was a little pool of water in front of it.
A person was lying in a wooden chair, basking in the sun. He looked very relaxed and comfortable while drinking his bloodwine — the leisurely life of an immortal.
To be precise, he resembled the skeleton of a twelve-year-old.
This skeleton was golden; each bone seemed to be cast from gold. A pair of jewel-like eyes were in its sockets.
