Chapter 4126: That Easy
Translator: ImmortalEmperorBao
âIt wasnât hard at all. I kicked an old man down there and the legacy just opened by itself.â Li Qiye casually responded, prompting the group to ruminate.
They heard this story before but remained skeptical. After all, no one else in history had done it and the opening method sounded ridiculous.
Nonetheless, they didnât doubt that it had actually happened since Li Qiye was the main character in this story.
Snowcloud Princess felt the same way. She believed in his recollection but refused to attribute it to mere luck.
âIt couldnât have been luck, Young Noble Li.â She stared at him with a half-smile filled with implication.
She checked numerous records documenting the experiments at the legacy before. With that, she absolutely knew that luck was not a factor. The issue here was getting Li Qiye to reveal his actual method. It had nothing to do with kicking an elder from Sea Emperor down there.
Perhaps others didnât spot the underlying mysteries or Li Qiye performed something special back then. She found it regrettable that she wasnât there in person.
âHow do I know, thatâs just how I opened it. Seems simple and easy enough to me.â He played coy and said.
It was hard to argue against Li Qiye because he actually managed a feat that had eluded dao lords. Worst of all, his nonchalant attitude annoyed the crowd.
âI spent 3.6 million on that legacyâ¦â A big shot complained. All of his money belonged to Li Qiye now.
âI spent 5.8 million, Iâm still in debt over it.â An ancestor added.
In order to become rich overnight, people threw their money into it only to return empty-handed. Some even went into debt. Now, they have to endure listening to Li Qiyeâs bullsh*t.
âI heard All in all, Hundred-flower Sect spent fifty million, theyâre broke now. Their sect master back then was so confident too.â One cultivator said.
Some experts spent thousands of years researching the plate and became confident, thinking that they knew everything about it. Misery awaited them next.
âHmph, just a blind cat coming across a dead mouse.â Illusory Princess interjected.
âTrue, I guess I really am the heavenâs favorite.â Li Qiye ignored her insult: âI can do whatever and still win. Sigh, you all cultivated so hard your entire life while pinching coins. All of that only to still be poor. As for me, I have no cultivation to speak or and virtually zero dao comprehension, but my luck alone turned me into the richest in the world. Life is truly unfair.â
He seemed to be asking for it. The crowd glared at him with both jealousy and hatred. His words struck them where it hurts.
In their mind, Li Qiye wasnât worthy of the Preeminent Legacy. He had no talent and power to speak of, no determination and ambition eitherâ¦
Calling such a cultivator âtrashâ wouldnât be an exaggeration. But now, just a casual reward of his exceeded their lifelong savings.
âCultivators rely on their own power. Our fate is our own, not the heavenâs. We donât need luck, power alone can grasp the universe.â The princess uttered coldly.
âWell said, Your Highness!â Applauses and praises popped across the floor.
âYes, cultivators change their fate with power! Sheâs so articulate!â
âWow, amazing.â Li Qiye clapped as well before adding: âToo bad youâre still poor.â
The princessâ rage only grew the more she talked to Li Qiye.
âAm just telling the truth, you can see that my wealth is in the trillions while what you have is insignificant. Even your sect isnât as rich as me. An idiot still knows better than to compete with me yet you still tried. Know your place and stop seeking further embarrassment.â Li Qiye suddenly became sharp.
Cultivators usually underestimated the power of wealth. However, Li Qiyeâs case was extreme. His own power was nothing but his legion right now was comparable to any great sectâs.
Why were people afraid of Sea Emperor and Nine-wheel while feeling disdain towards Li Qiye? The guy had beaten Ninth and taken down Dark Dragon Island not long ago. This should have been enough to prove his capabilities.
Nonetheless, the princess still disagreed: âExternal items donât matter to cultivatorsâ¦â
âStop lying to yourself, is it that hard to admit that youâre poor?â He interrupted her with a hand wave.
âYou!â Being the junior sister of Void Saintess of Nine-wheel, she has grown accustomed to praises and love. Therefore, she couldnât tolerate Li Qiyeâs insults.
