Chapter 301: Chapter 0241: Quite a Few Friends Have Co Today_2 Chapter 301: Chapter 0241: Quite a Few Friends Have Co Today_2 Qi Tian found such a price quite vexing. He could indeed pay one million low-grade spirit stones. The last ti he was in Wanjie City, he had slain several butchers who had attempted to kill him. He had seized a large number of spirit stones from them, which he hadn’t really touched since then. Now, if he were to really use them, plus the other gains he had made elsewhere, he wouldn’t have any trouble getting a million low-grade spirit stones together.
However, Qi Tian didn’t do this. For one thing, he wouldn’t risk nearly his entire fortune on just one flying sword. On another hand, he wanted to keep so spirit stones for his future cultivation. But neither of these reasons was the main issue. The reason he didn’t dare to do this was that he wasn’t sure if there were any special marks on the spirit stones he’d taken from the butchers. If there were, spending those stones recklessly in Wanjie City would only invite insurmountable trouble for himself.
With that, the funds that Qi Tian could use were relatively limited.
Qi Tian had no choice but to set his sights on flying swords that cost less in spirit stones, planning to pick an affordable one. But unfortunately, none caught his fancy. And the Heavenly Dao Engine’s response to these swords was also weak, showing little interest in absorbing them. This heightened the impression that these flying swords were diocre in quality.
Qi Tian left the shop and headed for another only to encounter a similar situation. Either the regular swords were below his standards, or the ones he liked were too expensive for him to afford.
After a few shop visits yielded similar results, Qi Tian was at a bit of a loss. If all else failed, he’d have to settle for a regular flying sword in the anti. The first priority was to solve the problem of flight; how well it flew could be addressed later.
As Qi Tian exited another shop, planning to go to his last destination, a Qi Cultivation Period cultivator suddenly dashed out from a street corner and stopped in front of him.
“Sir, are you looking to buy a flying sword?” The Qi Cultivation period cultivator fawned, flashing a sycophantic smile.
Qi Tian raised an eyebrow, and asked, “Indeed, what can I do for you?”
The Qi Cultivation period cultivator chuckled and said, “I’ve been watching you for a while. I know a place where they’ve got a lot of treasures and the prices are fair. As far as I know, one custor even found a top-grade, Human Grade Spirit Treasure level flying sword there. When they resold it, they made a fortune. Would you like to give it a try, Sir?”
Qi Tian stared at the Qi Cultivation period cultivator, released his pressure of the Foundation Establishnt stage onto him and asked, “Do you know what happens if you try to deceive ?”
The Qi Cultivation period cultivator wilted under Qi Tian’s pressure, but he managed to squeak out, “Sir, why would I dare to deceive you? The treasures we have aren’t exactly clean, either they were from tomb raiding or they’re stolen goods. Wouldn’t it be better for us to keep them if we weren’t afraid of their forr owners or relatives coming for us? The reason we don’t dare to use them and choose to sell them to soone like you, a superior person, is because you, as a cultivator at the Foundation Establishnt Stage, won’t be afraid of these troubles, isn’t it right?”
Qi Tian snorted and pulled back his released pressure, saying, “You wouldn’t dare to deceive . Lead the way.”
The Qi Cultivation period cultivator quickly got up from the ground, turned around with a triumphant smile on his face and respectfully said, “Please follow , Sir. I guarantee you’ll be satisfied.”
The Qi Cultivation period cultivator led Qi Tian through several streets and into a small alley. At the entrance, two cultivators were stationed- one at the Qi Cultivation period and the other at the first stage of Foundation Establishnt.
The Qi Cultivation period cultivator led Qi Tian straight into the alley and after a short walk, they arrived at a door in the middle of it. Like at the entrance, two cultivators were guarding it, one at the Qi Cultivation period and the other at the Foundation Establishnt Stage.
Qi Tian led in a Qi Cultivator, saying to Qi Tian, “Elder, right here. You go in. I have other things to deal with, so I’ll leave first.”
Qi Tian reached out, gripping the Qi Cultivator who had guided him in his hands, and said indifferently, “Accompany in. Until I buy what I want, you are not allowed to leave.”
The Qi Cultivator’s face changed dramatically. After several unsuccessful attempts to break free, he gave a wry smile and said, “Elder, isn’t this a bit inappropriate?”
“Less talk, follow in.” Qi Tian slightly tightened his hold on the Qi Cultivator’s arm. The latter yelped in pain, didn’t dare to say anymore, and quickly led the way to further into the yard with Qi Tian.
It was bustling in here. The yard was already occupied by dozens of cultivators. There were old and young, n and won. Upon seeing Qi Tian’s arrival, few cultivators glanced at him before turning their heads back.
Inside the yard, there were several cultivators whose faces were veiled who were standing at quite high places.
The Qi Cultivator brought Qi Tian directly to a Foundation Establishnt Stage cultivator with a veiled face, he bowed and said, “Elder Zhang, I have brought you another guest. Look, this one besides . He is worried that I will harm him and won’t let go by holding onto my arm. Can you help clear this up?”
That veiled Foundation Establishnt Stage cultivator laughed, clasped his hands towards Qi Tian and said, “Sir, welco. Although we deal in things that can’t be made public here, this is an absolutely legitimate business place. You can be completely assured about this. If you don’t believe it, you can ask a few people to see if we have fooled you.”
Qi Tian snorted, letting go of the arm of the Qi Cultivator. He now was fairly certain that this was not a shadowy place aiming to rob and kill, so, whether he held onto that Qi Cultivator or not was not very important. However, this doesn’t an that this was a place that welcod newcors like him politely. He still needed to stay vigilant to avoid being deceived or disadvantaged.
After being released by Qi Tian, the Qi Cultivator quickly thanked him profusely and rushed away. He had other jobs to do. Only by doing so, he could get more commission rewards.
Zhang Yang, the Foundation Establishnt Stage cultivator surnad Zhang, seeing that quite a few people had arrived in the yard, said, “There are already many friends who have arrived today, so we won’t wait for others. Soone, please close the main gate and activate the Defensive Array. Everyone, don’t worry, we are doing legitimate business here. All of this is just to fend off the coveting of outsiders and ensure the safety of everyone.”
Qi Tian remained silent, but he had already gripped onto an Explosive Thunder Talisman, ready to ignite at any ti, take down an advanced Foundation Establishnt Stage cultivator first, to ensure his own safety.
However, very quickly, Qi Tian realized that he worried too much. These veiled people really just wanted to do business, and the Defensive Array activated was just a regular one, aiming to block the view from outsiders. It had no attack ability against those inside the Array.
Qi Tian heaved a sigh of relief. Among those present, there were not few who sighed just like him. Clearly, they ca here for the sa reasons as Qi Tian.
This didn’t an Qi Tian would lower his guard. On the contrary, his vigilance has risen to an unprecedented level. Back in his past life, during the information explosion, there were endless scams, which Qi Tian learned about from various sources.
The tricks these Foundation Establishnt Stage cultivators were playing were very much like the thods of scam groups in his past life. Qi Tian initially didn’t want to co, but when he thought about how he slew those butchers last ti, similar thoughts crossed his mind. He made up his mind, if his gains this ti could not satisfy him, he would not mind staging another pickpocketing action. Anyway, he had no qualms about killing scamrs.
