Chapter 170: Honest Qi’s Schemes
Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - -
Mo Wuji was sure that the shop assistant had something important for him. If not, he wouldn’t rush over so hastily and show Mo Wuji such a worried expression. Putting the booklet in his hand away, Mo Wuji said apologetically, ”Shopkeeper Qi, this isn't really useful to me. I think I will take a look elsewhere, thank you…”
”Don't be too hasty, there are still two pages you had yet to see. Perhaps something might interest you within those pages…” It was as Mo Wuji predicted; Honest Qi might look indifferent towards the sale, but as Mo Wuji wanted to leave, he immediately became anxious.
Mo Wuji changed to speak in a solemn tone, ”Shopkeeper Qi, honestly, your price is a little too high…”
”The map and this spiritual object manual for just 50,000 Earth grade spirit stones…” Honest Qi hurriedly said. This time, Mo Wuji could even hear his anxious heart pounding.
Mo Wuji discovered that the shop assistant, who was standing by the door, was giving him meaningful glances. Mo Wuji became more puzzled, what exactly was going on?
”20,000 Earth grade spirit stones. If you accept that price, I will immediately hand over the spirit stones. If not, then I'm leaving.” Mo Wuji acted a little impatiently.
Perhaps that shop assistant helped Mo Wuji; Honest Qi also saw the shop assistant's expression. He gritted his black teeth and placed the two things in Mo Wuji's hands, ”I'll sell, why wouldn't I sell…”
Mo Wuji swiped his spirit stone card and casually threw the two things into his storage bag before leaving.
Just as Mo Wuji left, a gap appeared at the back of shop with a ”Jiya” sound and a grey robed woman walked out.
”How was it? What did that little fella want? Was he looking for the Sky Channel Flower?” The moment she appeared, the woman started barraging Honest Qi with questions.
Honest Qi replied with his mouth full black teeth revealed, ”I'm not sure whether he is looking for the Sky Channel Flower, this little fella is too smart. Towards the end, I intentionally acted like I wasn't anxious about the deal [1], and I could infer that he truly needed something from the spiritual object manual, it's highly likely that he is looking for the Sky Channel Flower. However, there's also this possibility that he bought it unintentionally.”
”Pui!” The woman's spit landed on top of Honest Qi's head, ”Idiot! When he turned to the page 6, there was a slight fluctuation in his emotions. Even this old lady could hear it, you old idiot. He bought it unintentionally? Would he have taken out 20,000 Earth grade spirit stones then?”
Honest Qi snickered, ” He is definitely a young master not lacking in spirit stones. He had a treasure which masks his spirituality. With such a treasure, would you say that he is lacking in spirit stones?”
The woman went silent; if that person truly had some spirituality masking treasure, then he really was a wealthy young master.
A short moment later, ”Did you leave an imprint on his things?”
”Rest assured, I left imprints on everything. Also, that Solitary Dark Pill definitely isn’t blind. If he goes to that place, he would definitely use the Solitary Dark Pill, and I would notice it the moment the Solitary Dark Pill is used,” Honest Qi said pridefully.
…
”That Honest Qi you introduced is not honest at all. His things are far too expensive. The moment Mo Wuji walked out of Honest Qi's shop, he lamented to the shop assistant standing outside.
Even though he was satisfied that he found the whereabouts of the Sky Channel Flower, the price he got it for was simply astronomical.
The shop assistant hurriedly said, ”Honest Qi’s things might be expensive, but they are definitely worth it. I don't know about his other goods, but another customer I brought to Honest Qi purchased a spiritual object manual. In the end, that customer was extremely satisfied with his purchase, he even rewarded me and praised my astute recommendation.”
As he heard this sentence, Mo Wuji suddenly had a strange feeling. There was some fleeting thought which he wished to grab, but he couldn't seem to catch hold of it.
”Oh right, why did you come and find me so anxiously?” Mo Wuji suddenly wondered about the reason for this shop assistant’s hasty arrival.
The shop assistant was also reminded of his initial intention, and he immediately pulled Mo Wuji to the side and whispered in his ear, ”Friend, I just saw a wanted poster, and the person looks a lot like you...”
Mo Wuji’s heart started pounding faster; he had expected to go under suspicions for killing Jin Jiuzhen, but he did not expect that a wanted poster will appear so soon. His had just set foot on the Lost Sky Ruins, and the wanted poster also followed him over. Perhaps this wanted poster didn’t simply appear in the Lost Sky Ruins, but all other cities as well.
That Jin Jiuzhen wasn’t bragging; he was truly an important figure of the Dao Gate. The Dao Gate was the number one faction in the Heaven Seeking Palace, it was superior to the Pill Pagoda and the Sword Lake.
”Senior, I will take you out from the back door,” The shop assistant said softly.
”Alright, many thanks,” Mo Wuji knew that this shop assistant definitely wanted some form of remuneration for this act of notification. More importantly, it was also his six Earth Yuan Pills taking effect. There truly was such a thing as karma, even an insignificant shop assistant would be of such great help to him.
The shop assistant brought Mo Wuji to circle around the underground market for more than ten rounds before pointing to a passage, ”Senior can follow this passage to reach the outside of Lost Sky City. I cannot follow you as I need to follow the previous route.”
Mo Wuji retrieved a jade vase and passed it to the shop assistant, ”This is for you, thanks for guiding me.”
