Chapter: 1149 (1/2)

AST 1149 – Craving for Power, Arrogant Bai Rilong

“Do you have interspatial silk sachets? Do you think that I won’t be able to get my hands on what I want if I don’t have one?” The old man looked at Qing Shui and asked, relaxed. However, he found it slightly weird too.

“Then why don’t you try?” Qing Shui had the Arhat and his spirit energy techniques could fend off about 70% of spirit energy attacks. He shouldn’t be forced into too bad a state.

“Do you know that there is a battle technique called Soul Search? After a person dies, within the time for one incense stick to burn, you can search through a bit of his memories.” The old man continued to speak calmly.

Qing Shui was stunned. He knew of such spirit energy techniques as well and there were also many which were very vicious and would deplete a lot of spirit energy. There were even possibilities of backlash effects. Most of these techniques were often used to search through a person’s memories and the success rate was very low since it couldn’t search through a lot of one’s memories. It would only be able to bring out the memories which the deceased person held the most attachment to.

“If you insist on doing that, then I’m left with no choice. I can only tell you that after I’m dead, even if you can find that information through the search, you won’t be able to get your hands on it,” Qing Shui said very calmly. He didn’t think that the old man would be able to kill him.

Although Qing Shui wasn’t very strong now, he had trump cards up his sleeves. Moreover, if Qing Shui was bent on escaping, even a State Master level expert wouldn’t be able to stop him.

“Uncle Zong, it’s fine. Stop joking with Mister. Since Mister doesn’t wish to sell, he would have his own reasons for that.” Miss Yan stopped the old man who was about to say something.

The lady should be a very assertive person but it seemed like she wouldn’t pressure others. Qing Shui was able to sense that. It wasn’t that he didn’t wish to sell the item to this lady but more of that he felt that he couldn’t do that so quickly.

“Mister, then are these things something I can buy?” The lady pointed to the accessories mentioned earlier and said, smiling.

This time around, Qing Shui saw her smile. It was one which he had never seen before, one that was confident, graceful and was like the spring’s breeze. It was beautiful that it had a charm that could make one fully accept her views.

“Of course you can!” Qing Shui smiled and walked over.

“Uncle Zong, help me buy these. Oh, right, have you taken back the weapon?” The lady’s actions were very graceful, as if each of her expressions and smiles, each word and each movement, would attract one. She wasn’t doing this intentionally. It was her most natural state.

“I’ve brought it. Miss, take a look to see if you’re satisfied!” The old man handed the lady a white sword that was three feet long. It was like the autumn water, glittery. It was clear with one look that it was made from quite a good quality material. It should be some high grade materials.

The lady picked it up and took at it for a while but there were no changes to her expression. She was neither shocked nor disappointed.

“Miss, Yan Clan has many weapons which are much better than this. Why do you insist on forging one here? Is it just because of this Greencloud Stone?” The old man shook his head.

“Greencloud Stone?” Qing Shui spoke in a soft voice out of slight astonishment. However, the lady looked toward Qing Shui.

“You know of the Greencloud Stone as well?”

“I don’t. I only know of Greencloud Continent and my daughter is called Qing Yun [1]…” Qing Shui shook his head and said.

Actually, when Qing Shui saw this piece of stone, he recalled a sword from his memories, Four Elements Greencloud Sword. It was as powerful as Mu Qing’s Mystical Connection Divine Sword. However, it was as if Mu Qing’s Mystical Connection Divine Sword was sealed up and the unleashed prowess was only 1-2% of the original prowess.

The Four Elements Greencloud Sword Qing Shui recalled had 符印s which were split into earth, fire, wind and water.

When it was swung around, the world would be encompassed by darkness, fire snakes would dance around, sand would be blown everywhere and tsunamis would be brought forth.

However, it would be hard to say if the prowess was so great. Moreover, Qing Shui felt that even if he were to try, he wouldn’t be able to forge a weapon with that prowess. Therefore, he tried to act ignorant.

“Mister, have you ever thought of changing the place where you work? You have great talent in forging and if you were to wish to change locations, I’ll satisfy any conditions you may have and let you strive to become a higher grade master blacksmith.” The lady seemed to be bringing this up casually.

“Miss, thank you for your kind offer. Right now, I like this place a lot. If I were to wish to work in a new place in the future, I’ll go look for you. When the time comes, don’t say that you don’t recognize me.” Qing Shui replied casually as well.

“That’s a promise then. I can be sure that you’ll definitely not stay long here. I’m very happy to have met you. I am Yan Jinyu. How do I address you?” The lady took the opportunity to follow-up.

Qing Shui hadn’t expected the lady to do this. The old man was even more astonished. Since when had their young miss taken so much initiative to get to know a guy? Many young masters from great clans weren’t even able to have a chance to talk to her. This lad was really able to keep his cool.

“I’m called Qing Shui. Nice to meet you, Miss Yan. You’re as your name suggests, a beautiful jade on earth,” Qing Shui sincerely praised her.

Yan Jinyu looked at Qing Shui, saw his clear eyes and smiled, “Mister Qing shouldn’t be that old but it seems that you have experienced quite a lot of things in life. It’s no longer early, how about I treat Mister to a meal?”

“I had wanted to be the one to treat you to a meal but was afraid that you might think that I’m just trying to get into your good books and be seen as a bad person. Let’s have a meal next time. Next time, I’ll be the one to treat you,” Qing Shui smiled and said.

Yan Jinyu scolded Qing Shui to be a bastard in her heart. This guy was beating about the bush while scolding her. However, she found it funny as well. She really had an objection. Humans were all like that. Today, in front of him, she really had appeared to have acted in bad taste.

“That’s good too. Then we shan’t disturb you any further.”
