Chapter 415: Chapter 415: A Profiteering rchant
Ning Fan was stunned. This elderly man who was currently grumbling and complaining gave off an extrely strong aura force. To Ning Fan’s surprise, he was actually an old monster at the Void Inquiry Stage!
However, judging from this man’s words, he did not harbor an evil motive towards Ning Fan at all by concealing himself in this place as he was just sleeping here.
After pondering carefully, Ning Fan found it logical too.
When he ascended to the fifth floor from the fourth floor through the teleportation formation, his landing point was random. How could it be possible for soone to hide sowhere around his landing point beforehand to ambush him?
Thus, he concluded that this old man was really just sleeping here while keeping his presence concealed and that was it. The latter did not have the intention of sneak-attacking Ning Fan at all.
The only person who was to bla for this situation was the elderly man for not choosing a more appropriate place to sleep but rather the place where Ning Fan landed.
To every cultivator, if they suddenly sense a strong expert hiding near them when they have just descended sowhere, they would certainly be nervous and vigilant as well.
Ning Fan had already given enough face to the elderly man as he did not directly deliver a fatal blow to him but only forced the latter out of his concealnt.
"Why would an old monster of the Void Inquiry Stage appear on the fifth floor of the lightning tower... According to Hong Yi’s information and the mories of the lightning lords on the previous four floors, there should be no creature of the Void Inquiry Stage in the first ten floors of the tower. Could it be that this elderly man is an expert who had co down here from the upper floors beyond the tenth floor? His na is Lei Shiyi, huh...?"
While Ning Fan was contemplating, he activated his lightning star and lightning diagram to guard against the elderly man from attacking him at any ti.
An old monster of the Void Inquiry Stage could equally fight against several Void Glimpse Stage experts at the sa ti.
Even though Ning Fan was able to kill three experts of the Void Glimpse Stage throughout his journey, he does not have a chance against an expert of the Void Inquiry Stage. What he could do at most was to conceal himself and flee with the help of the Heaven Deceiving Cloak.
However, what Ning Fan had never expected was that although he had disturbed the elderly man’s sweet dream and made him wake up with resentnt, the latter’s killing intent instantly dissipated after taking a deep look at him.
Ning Fan was observing the elderly man while the latter was also doing the sa.
He sensed a hint of danger from Ning Fan’s lightning star. He did not know that it was the Tai Su Lightning Star but he was aware that it had a heaven-defying restraining effect on him.
The elderly man’s gaze turned away. He had a rough estimation of how strong Ning Fan was and no longer had the intention of making him an enemy.
He opened his mouth and revealed his yellowish teeth. His smile made him look rather wretched. He then took the initiative to strike a conversation with his fists cupped.
"Little Friend, you are strong, aren’t you? Hehe. Are you an undead spirit which moved up here from one of the four floors below? This old man is Lei Shiyi and I ca from the eleventh floor. Let’s be friends, what do you say?
"Eleventh floor!" Ning Fan’s eyes flashed with sternness and a hint of surprise.
This elderly man is indeed an expert from the floors beyond the tenth floor.
He was filled with rage at first. However, after he inspected , he wore a friendly smile and greeted
politely. I suppose he is intimidated by my presence.
That elderly man was no doubt very strong. Since he did not plan to rush at Ning Fan, the latter would also not ask for trouble by taking the initiative to attack a Mid Void Refinent Realm being like him.
As for the elderly man’s suggestion of befriending him...
Ning Fan did not say yes or no. Instead, he cupped his fists and said.
"Please excuse !"
He actually wanted to walk away without giving him an answer.
He did not have the intention of becoming friends with the elderly man. The only reason why he ca here was for the lightning bamboo leaves. He did not want to cause any other unnecessary troubles.
"You are gathering the dark golden bamboo leaves?" The elderly man’s eyes suddenly flashed with surprise. The creepy and mischievous bearing in him disappeared at once.
"..."
Ning Fan did not answer. The seriousness in his expression beca more intense. Internally, he felt astonished.
How does this old man know that I am gathering dark golden bamboo leaves?!
"You don’t have to be nervous. I am just guessing as I sensed the sll of bamboo leaves from your body. Hehe. I always have a sharp nose... Besides, I have not only slled bamboo leaves... Hmm? I also sll so lightning jades from you. 156 pieces. No. There are 157 pieces of silver jades! Four of them have almost reached the standard of a golden jade... Little Friend, you are very rich. Hehe."
As soon as the elderly man ntioned the word "rich
