Chapter 157 : Early Peopleâs Nine Languages (1)
The shopkeeper returned to his senses and immediately looked at Li Qiye, then he said: âIf Young Noble wants it, then this chest will be given to Young Noble.â
âShopkeeper, no matter how much money he spends, I will use Enlightened Being Refined Jades to buy this item.â Seeing the sudden change in the shopkeeperâs attitude, Leng Chengfengâs expression sank, and he coldly spoke.
The shopkeeper shook his head and said: âDear customer, this is embarrassing, but we are no longer selling this chest. My small shop will give you an item, instead, to show goodwill.â
âYouâ¦â Leng Chengfengâs expression immediately changed. He was at a loss for words after hearing the shopkeeperâs answer.
The shopkeeper then continued with a deeper tone: âDear customer, at this moment, our little shop is closed. Please leave, please forgive us for the bad hosting.â
âYouâ!â Leng Chengfeng was absolutely livid and glared, but the shopkeeper was very calm and seemed to not feel the wrath of Leng Chengfeng.
Finally, Leng Chengfeng took a deep breath and brushed his clothes then left. Even though Leng Chengfeng was aggressive, he understood the basic truth that there were dragons mixing with serpents in Ancient Sky City. To be a merchant at the Ancient Intent Fasting, their status might be frightening. Otherwise, it would had long been robbed!
âWhat is so good about having money!â As Leng Chengfeng was leaving, Nan Huairen exclaimed: âCompared to our biggest brother, your money isnât even worth a fart!â
Leng Chenfeng was shaking in anger from Nan Huairenâs words. His face became pale and ugly, yet he still eventually left.
âYou brat, such poisonous words.â Li Qiye shook his head and smiled. His scolding was more like a compliment.
âHeh, Oldest Brother, I am just not used to his newly rich attitude. Nothing good about having dirty money.â Nan Huairen smiled and said.
At this moment, the shopkeeper quickly packed the item himself and gave it to Li Qiye, and he said: âThis lowly person had eyes but couldnât see Mt. Tai, and I didnât know how great your knowledge was. Please be happy and accept this small gift.â
The shopkeeper being so polite, along with his respectful tone, surprised not only the group of Nan Huairen, but also the group of Li Shuangyan. Li Qiyeâs one phrase had completely changed the shopkeeperâs attitude â this was really unbelievable.
âShopkeeper, each of my oldest brotherâs phrases is worth tens of millions.â The group of Qu Daoli didnât say much, but Nan Huairen â as a hound â licked his tongue and couldnât help but say: âHey, Shopkeeper, I will also say âmy descendantâs yellow bell, one cry will shake the heavens.â Will Shopkeeper give me an item as well?â
Li Qiye slapped his neck and smilingly scolded: âLittle Brat, what do you know about my descendantâs yellow bell, one cry will shake the heavens? This is a secret of the ancient Early People.â
âHeh, Oldest Brother knows, I donât know.â Nan Huairen cheekily said.
But he immediately shut up after Li Qiye glared at him. He certainly knew what could be said and what couldnât.
âWill Master come inside the hall? This lowly one wants to learn from Master.â The shopkeeper very respectfully inquired.
âIt is fine.â Li Qiye nodded his head and brought Li Shuangyanâs group into the inner hall of the Ancient Intent Fasting. The shopkeeper told the workers to close the shop; there will be no more business today.
After sitting down in the inner hall, the shopkeeper was very welcoming and quickly gave Li Shuangyanâs group a treasure jewel, and he said: âThis is the highest ranked jade seal of the Ancient Intent Fasting. If you all do business here, everything is only seventy percent!â
The shopkeeperâs enthusiasm surprised everyone. One had to know that the Ancient Intent Fasting was a high-end shop; everything was worth millions of refined jades. Seventy percent of the price was very frightening.
At this moment, they realized that Li Qiyeâs words were worth ten thousand gold! Truly a mouth made of gold and words made from jade.
âMy little shop has some puzzling matters and need advice from Master.â The shopkeeper sat down and rubbed his hands together while seriously speaking to Li Qiye.
âIf Shopkeeper wants the Early Peopleâs nine languages, then just go ahead and say it. In my opinion, Shopkeeper is someone who can be in charge.â Li Qiye smiled and said.
The shopkeeper was in distraught. âEarly Peopleâs nine languagesâ â these words were too shocking to him. Other people didnât know, but his clan knew how valuable these things were!
âWise Masterââ The shopkeeper quickly bowed his head and said: âI donât know the title of Master?â
âI, ah.â Li Qiye smiled and replied: âThe Cleansing Incense Ancient Sectâs disciple, Li Qiye. Is Shopkeeper the grand administrator of the Gu Clanâs first branch or not?â
âI donât dare, I donât dare.â The shopkeeper was moved, and he quickly replied: âThis lowly one was assisted by fellow clan members and barely qualified to be the clan master.â
âThis makes me a bit surprised.â Li Qiye said with a smile: âThe clan master of the Gu Clan personally attending the shop â truly not an easy matter.â
As for the group of Nan Huairen, they glanced at each other. Li Qiye speaking with the shopkeeper was perplexing to them. What about the Gu Clan? What about the grand administrator? They essentially couldnât understand.
âThe Gu Clanâs laws, I am very well aware of.â Li Qiye comfortably continued: âI also know the Gu Clanâs Yellow Bell. Clan Master, the Gu Clan is an ancient shop, and Iâm also aware of the Gu Clanâs reputation and business.â
âThe Early Peopleâs nine languages⦠Master, please name a price.â Shopkeeper Gu was truly a businessman. He didnât waste time so he immediately asked.
âI donât want too much, how about this.â Li Qiye smiled and said: âJust your three sheets of paper, what does Shopkeeper think about this?â
âThisââ The shopkeeper changed his expression. The truth was that not only the shopkeeper, but the group of Nan Huairen was also alarmed. One had to know that the three ancient pieces of paper were Emperorâs Possessions.
Li Qiye shook his head and said: âShopkeeper, to the Gu Clan, I have given a fair price. Otherwise, I would have already taken the three papers and the rock. Shopkeeper should know the importance of the thing that your Gu Clan requires.â
âI donât dare to hide it from Master.â Shopkeeper pondered for a moment, then he finally said: âWe need some guarantees. Because this matter is too important, just words arenât enough.â
Li Qiye stared at the shopkeeper, then he laughed and said: âRight, your Gu Clan has been in the business for tens of millions of years, and your reputation is gold-plated. I can still trust the Gu Clanâs honor. Take out a brush and paper; I will write a sentence for you all, then you can go back and discuss. I have quite a lot of trust in your Gu Clan.â
âMy gratitude to Master for trusting the Gu Clan!â The shopkeeper paid his respect and left, then he brought a brush and paper to Li Qiye.
Li Qiye held the brush and thought for a moment before dancing with his brush in one go. He then gave it to the shopkeeper and said: âGo, donât let me wait for too long, my patience is limited.â
The shopkeeper ordered the workers to take care of Li Qiyeâs group, then he quickly left without a trace of neglect!
After Shopkeeper Gu left, Li Shuangyanâs group was full of questions and looked at Li Qiye. Even now, Nan Huairen didnât dare to ask.
âWhat is the Early Peopleâs nine languages?â Finally, it was Chen Baojiao who opened her mouth. She couldnât contain her curiosity.
Li Qiye looked at her and shook his head: âThis isnât something that you all should know. This is a matter relating to an ancient era!â
Hearing Li Qiyeâs answer, Chen Baojiao stopped her inquiry. If Li Qiye wanted to say it, then she didnât need to ask as he would have told her.
âThe Yellow Bell is the key?â The normally quiet Tu Buyu asked. He normally was very reserved and attentive, and he was a lot more trustworthy than Nan Huairen.
âGood eyes.â Li Qiye praised Tu Buyu.
âThe three papers are Emperorâs Possessions, is the Yellow Bell an Immortal Emperorâs True Treasure? Or is it something even more valuable than an Immortal Emperorâs True Treasure?â Nan Huairen said: âSuch an important thing displayed outside, are they not afraid of being robbed?â
As the shopkeeper said, the three yellow papers were Emperorâs Possessions. To use the three papers to exchange for the âEarly Peopleâs nine languagesâ, and that the nine languages had something to do with the Yellow Bell, this meant that this item was even more valuable than Emperorâs Possessions. It could even be more important than an Immortal Emperorâs Life Treasure or True Treasure.
âRob?â Li Qiye bursted out in laughter and shook his head: âThe Yellow Bell placed right there â not many people are capable of taking it. Besides, not too many people dare to rob from the Gu Clan.â
âWhat is the origin of the Gu Clan?â Qu Daoli couldnât help but ask. To be able to open such a store with so many treasures, it definitely had to have a heaven-frightening origin.
âAn extremely ancient existence. And the whatever ancient Nantian Clan⦠Compared to them, they are way too far apart.â Li Qiye smilingly said: âNot coming into being doesnât mean that they are not powerful! In the Nine Worlds, there are some existences beyond your imagination. In this world, the strongest existences are not Immortal Emperorâs lineages!â
âThere are stronger existences than Immortal Emperorâs lineages?â Luo Fenghua emotionally asked. As a young disciple, in his eyes, Immortal Emperorâs lineages were supreme and could even be considered as monstrous behemoths.
âStronger than Immortal Emperorâs lineages, and even stronger than the Azure Mysterious Ancient Kingdom⦠They do exist, and there are ones stronger than the Eternal River School as well. Howeverâ¦â At this point, Li Qiyeâs eyes narrowed, and he didnât say anything else.
âThe Eternal River School is very powerful? Legends has it that the Azure Mysterious Ancient Kingdom had two generations of Immortal Emperors.â The quiet Xu Pei softly asked.
âThe Eternal River School is even more terrifying than the Azure Mysterious Ancient Kingdom.â Li Qiye didnât say anything, nor did Li Shuangyan, but the quiet Tu Buyu sighed and said: âThe Eternal River School is one sect, three Emperors. It is located in the Eastern Hundred Cities. It can be considered a true behemoth, and no one could shake it!â
âOne, one, one sect, three Emperorsââ The honest Zhang Yu was shocked and began to stutter. In reality, everyone else was also astonished.
âOne sect, three Emperors!â Since they never left the Grand Middle Territory before, the group of Luo Fenghua had to take a deep breath.
