Chapter 469 This Was Not What I Wanted

After staying in Liuxi Town for a day, the cultivators prepared to rush to Blackstone Ridge.

On this day, the number of cultivators gathered in Liuxi Town multiplied several times. The town, which usually could only accommodate only a few hundred people, now contained about 2,000 cultivators, and the town was crowded.

Of the two thousand cultivators, the Qi-refining Stage cultivators accounted for the vast majority, which was in line with the proportion of cultivators of the demon clan. Although these cultivators’ cultivation were not of a very high level, however, they had the enthusiasm to see if they could get the opportunity to join in the fun and pick up a few bargains. The beast tide’s represented harm on the one hand, and opportunity on the other. Under normal circumstances, there would not be many opportunities for cultivators to get rich.

The cultivators of the Immortal Realm only occupied less than ten percent, and they were mostly concentrated in several large cultivator forces. Such as the Killing Hands and the Lord Childe’s team of Wangyue City.

After Li Ye and others joined the Killing Hands, they were placed in Qi Potian’s team. Saying that Qi Potian’s team was actually not accurate, because Qi Potian was just a servant.

The Killing Hands had more than 100 members and over ten of them were of the Sky Immortal Realm. These 100 or so cultivators were divided into ten teams, each of which was led by a Sky Immortal Realm cultivator. In addition to the members of the Killing Hands, there were more than a dozen independent cultivators like Li Ye, with varying levels of cultivation, ranging from Qi-refining to the Spiritual Master Realm.

For the Killing Hands, it was necessary to expand its team before going into the mountains to hunt. At the same time, they would also charge a sizeable protection fee from the independent cultivators, which was also the way they increased their income.

For independent cultivators, especially for those whose cultivations were not up to scratch, depending on those cultivators’ strength, the ability to protect themselves and have a chance to loot would be greatly enhanced after entering the mountain to face the beast tide, so many cultivators would choose this path.

Only that the protection fee of the Killing Hands was indeed a bit too expensive, and the independent cultivators were all complaining. However, the fee was the same for all cultivator teams so they had no other choice.

“Brother Li, come here.” Before leaving, Qi Potian frowned at Li Ye and called him aside. He then asked mysteriously, “Brother Li, do you need a Magic Treasure?”

Li Ye didn’t know what his intention was, but he did have a few Magic Treasures. After his Luke Sword was upgraded to the top class, he didn’t continue to feed it because a war was coming. So it might come in handy, “You have top Magic Treasures?”

Qi Potian’s eyes lit up when he heard he had a chance. He immediately lifted his chin up proudly, “Of course! Brother Li, the butcher in Blackstone Ridge can clearly tell you that if you don’t have Magic Treasure when you enter the mountains, then you’ll surely die! Those fierce beasts are all tough-skinned and adept in defense. Without good Magic Treasures, you’ll be dead meat.”

Li Ye could not help laughing, for this guy was really funny. He was frightened and “granted to be justified” when he stole his two Blazing Eagles before. Now it seemed that he wanted to sell him Magic Treasures again.

As Li Ye expected, Qi Potian looked around left and right and ensured that no cultivators were staring at them. Then he took out a flying sword without a hilt from his sleeve and pretended to cough a bit, “Brother Li, I’ve just managed to get this flying sword, it is infinitely close to the middle grade, and you could take a demon’s head from a thousand steps away…”

Li Ye looked at it and replied seriously, “No.”

Qi Potian was stunned, he did not know why Li Ye outright refused. Then he was a little anxious, “I didn’t even tell you the price, why did Brother Li say no? I’m not trying to scare you, but the beast tide is really dangerous, even I, the fierce butcher in Blackstone Ridge, must be careful when dealing with them. So a rookie youngster like you, won’t stand a chance. You don’t want to die do you? I know your attendant has high cultivation, but how can you put your life in other people’s hands?”

Li Ye nodded, gesturing that he agreed with Qi Potian, and that he was right.

This greatly increased Qi Potian’s interest, and he added kindly, “It is destined that we met each other. So, how about five thousand spiritual stones, and this Magic Treasure is yours!”

Li Ye wondered, “Five thousand spiritual stones?”

“Five Thousand Spirit Stones for a flying sword is really not expensive!” Qi Potian said loudly, but in fact, he had no confidence in his heart. Actually this Magic Treasure was of quite a low grade, and all that talk about being infinitely close to the middle grade was an outright lie. He just saw that Li Ye had a lot of money, so he asked for a high price, trying to blackmail Li Ye.

Li Ye was not convinced.

Qi Potian gritted his teeth and tentatively asked, “Then according to Brother Li, how much do you think this Magic Treasure is worth?”

Li Ye looked serious, “Since it is a Magic Treasure that is only a hair away from the top grade, then it’s at least worth ten thousand spiritual stones!”

“Ten…ten thousand?” Qi Potian stared at Li Ye in surprise, think how could there be such a good thing in the world? The buyer actually took the initiative to increase the price of the item? A low-grade Magic Treasure was only worth five or six thousand spiritual stones at most.

But when he thought about it, he understood that Li Ye probably wanted to make friends with him and then get close to the Killing Hands through him. After all, the Big Master had reached the Real Immortal Realm, and thus could take care of Li Ye in Blackstone Ridge.

“Brother Li is really a wonderful person. You’re right. On value alone, this flying sword is definitely worth ten thousand spiritual stones! And if you have the mettle, you could make it become a real middle-grade treasure, by which time, its value would increase exponentially!” Qi Potian was happy to hand the flying sword to Li Ye.

Li Ye glanced at Qi Potian and added, “I already said that I don’t want it.”

“…” Qi Potian did not know what to say.

Are you playing with me? You still increased the price but you don’t want it?

Li Ye put on an evil smile, and then suddenly took out a similar flying sword from his storage bag, ”My flying sword is of the highest quality, albeit it’s only of the low-grade. It’s worth at least 9,999 spiritual stones. You can take home the best Magic Treasure for 9,980 spiritual stones!”

Qi Potian’s feet stumbled, and he almost fell. So that’s your game, raising the price just to sell your own Magic Treasure?

Qi Potian was unhappy and looked at Li Ye with evil, “Brother Li, there is no cultivator who dares to play me like you did in the Killing Hands!”

Li Ye looked at him and added, “Are you threatening me?”

Qi Potian sneered and answered, “I just want to sell you a Magic Treasure, but you should know your place!”

Li Ye nodded, “So you are threatening me!”

Qi Potian was enraged, “So what if I am?”

Li Ye looked back at Wu You, Hong Xiu and the others among the crowd, “Miss Hong Xiu, please come over!”

Hong Xiu wanted to join the Killing Hands, and Li Ye couldn’t stop her. But since she knew Qi Potian, who had always been keen to get close to her, Li Ye decided to use her instead of driving her away.

Qi Potian’s expression changed. How could you call for help? And you actually called Miss Hong Xiu, you are too evil!

Qi Potian immediately realized that this sale would not be done, which made him annoyed but he couldn’t do anything.Read the next chapter on vi p novel

Li Ye was a rich man, he could even give away two Blazing Eagles. He had already intended to squeeze Li Ye for money as they planned to enter the mountains together.

“What’s the matter, Childe Li?” Miss Hong Xiu came over and looked at Li Ye and Qi Potian curiously, “What are you doing here?”

Qi Potian squeezed out a smile, which he thought was sincere, he then replied, “We are not doing…”
