Chapter 1504: Chapter 864 Half Nineteen Shop Chapter 1504: Chapter 864 Half Nineteen Shop Chapter 0864: Half Nineteen Shop
Qi Tian planned to stroll around Wanjie City to see if he could find any opportunities. There wasn’t much hope in Wanjie Comrce, but that didn’t an that Wanjie Comrce was the only place in Wanjie City where opportunities might exist. In fact, as a tropolis with a population in the millions, the comrcial trade of Wanjie City was very developed, and Qi Tian had found suitable opportunities for himself more than once through buying and selling.
Of course, Qi Tian had now reached the peak of the Gold Core Realm, and ordinary opportunities were no longer suitable for him. He needed to look for bigger opportunities, so he set his sights on the larger shops in Wanjie City.
In Wanjie City, almost every slightly famous force had its own industry and operated externally, selling or purchasing treasures or other rchandise.
Wanjie City was large, and it was impossible for Qi Tian to spend a lot of ti exploring the city’s streets and alleys as before. He directly targeted the most famous streets. If there were any opportunities suitable for him in Wanjie City, they would likely be found on these streets.
The first street Qi Tian chose was the one right in front of the Wanjie Comrce building. It was the street with the most intense comrcial atmosphere in Wanjie City. Most of the shops here belonged to Wanjie Comrce, but a portion belonged to other forces.
Walking along the main street, Qi Tian casually looked around while releasing the sensing function of his Heavenly Dao Engine to scan his surroundings. However, along the way, he still hadn’t found anything worth taking action for.
Qi Tian moved to the next street, which was also well-known in Wanjie City—it was famous as the Tool Refining Street. Most of the shops there were related to Tool Refining. As he strolled along, he reached the middle of the street and saw a very ordinary-looking shop to the north. The old storefront, the inconspicuous two-story building, and the shop’s signboard appeared very aged, covered with a thick layer of dust. Qi Tian glanced at the signboard, which bore the shop’s na—Half Nineteen.
When he saw the na, Qi Tian’s spirits lifted. He had never visited this Half Nineteen Shop before but was well aware of its famous reputation.
He quickly headed toward the Half Nineteen Shop. Before he arrived, he saw a long queue already ford outside the shop. Everyone in line was respectful, silent, and solemn, as if waiting for a pilgrimage.
Qi Tian knew how much influence the Half Nineteen Shop had in Wanjie Comrce. Instead of using the sensing function of his Heavenly Dao Engine to scan the shop, he took his place at the end of the line, slowly moving forward with the crowd.
Queueing took almost half a day. When it was finally Qi Tian’s turn, the sky was already darkening.
Following the example of those in front of him, Qi Tian took out a na card and handed it over. The doorman accepted the na card unassumingly, quickly glanced at it, then returned it to Qi Tian and stepped aside to let him enter the shop.
Qi Tian walked inside. Before he’d had a chance to observe the shop’s layout, a man with a professional smile approached him.
“Sir, may I know what kind of artifact you’re looking for? Would you like sothing that’s ready-made, or would you prefer a customized piece based on your own needs?”
Qi Tian looked at the man—who appeared to be in his forties with short hair and was wearing nothing but a short jacket on his upper body, his muscular arms exposed giving off a burly and strong impression—and had never seen this person before, so he smiled and said, “I’d like to visit the Master, if it’s not too much trouble. May I know if the Master might be available to et?”
The man’s expression changed imdiately, he replied, “My master has no ti, neither now nor in the future. Do you have any other business? If not, you may leave.”
With a faint smile, Qi Tian said, “Sir, there’s no need to refuse so hastily. I think you should ask the Master for his opinion. Would you mind telling the Master when you ask that Qi Tian from National Master Manor has co to visit?”
Surprised, the man glanced at Qi Tian, “Are you the sa Qi Tian who beca the Great Elder of National Master Manor three years ago? Alright, wait here, I will go and inform the Master.”
The man returned shortly and gestured for Qi Tian to follow, saying, “The Master invites you over.”
Leading Qi Tian through the shop, the man brought him to the backyard, where a young man who didn’t appear very old sat beside a table, drinking alone.
The man hastily went over to report to the young man, who lifted his eyelids to glance at Qi Tian and then smiled, gesturing to the chair opposite him, and said, “You must be Qi, Sir Qi Tian, right? I’ve long wanted to et you, and before I could visit, you’ve co on your own. Co, please have a seat.”
Qi Tian bowed to the young man, then went over and sat down. As soon as he took his seat, the young man personally picked up the teapot and poured Qi Tian a cup of Spirit Tea.
After thanking him, Qi Tian remarked, “I’ve heard that Master Fei Xu is humble and polite, and cherishes the younger generation. I had my doubts before, but now, seeing you in person, I realize those words weren’t an overstatent.”
Huang Feixu chuckled at the comnt, “I don’t deserve such praise. Those are just kind words from friends.”
Qi Tian said with a smile, “You’re being too modest, Master. In my opinion, of all the Masters in the entire Wanjie City, you alone can rightly face such praise; the others fall a bit short.”
Huang Feixu laughed heartily at Qi Tian’s words and after a while, he said, “The Great Elder is quite entertaining, which isn’t entirely consistent with the stories I’ve heard about you. The credibility of outside rumors is debatable. Now that we are sitting face to face, it’s an excellent opportunity for us to have a clear and in-depth understanding of each other.”
Qi Tian said, “I have long admired the Master, and you may not know that several years ago, I actually made use of a magical tool that you personally crafted.”
Huang Feixu quickly inquired, “What kind of magical tool? And when was this?”
Qi Tian replied, “Years ago, I served as one of Wanjie Comrce’s contracted explorers, working in cooperation with their team. Thanks to the Thousand Miles Mirror you designed and created, our entire team avoided many needless troubles. Since then, I’ve known that you are a legendary figure.”
