Chapter 5166: I Know A Little Bit
Li Qiye flicked the disobedient ginsengâs head as if he was disciplining it.
âBam!â The ginseng immediately closed its eyes and let out two pitiful cries. It lay in his hand like a well-trained pet.
âWhat?â She became slack-jawed after seeing this.
According to the scrolls, this type of ginseng was violent. Her master would need to use a special seal in order to imprison it. What was that flick just now?
If it were so docile, no one would need to learn alchemy and special techniques.
âWas that an alchemy technique?â She asked.
âNo, just a flick.â Li Qiye shook his head.
â...â She had no response but thought that he didnât need to lie to her. Plus, it didnât matter even if it was an alchemy technique since she learned nothing from it.
âYoung Noble, are you an alchemist?â She asked with uncertainty, thinking that he was a hidden master.
âNo, I just know a little bit about alchemy.â Li Qiye smiled.
Of course, he wasnât a simple alchemist since he was the one who taught Alchemy Ancestor.
âI seeâ¦â She murmured.
âBoom!â Their conversation was interrupted by someone landing from the sky.
He wore a red robe while pulsing with a frightening demonic aura. The vegetation nearby withered due to his presence.
âCrimson Dragon Monarch.â She became alarmed after seeing him.
âMiss Shao Yao? Excuse me.â he politely said.
He was a crimson serpent who later on attained the dao. His venom had slain numerous foes before.
His affiliation was Divine Alliance. As a two-fruit dragon lord, he didnât need to be polite to a junior like her. However, her background was unique and he might even need to ask her sect for help in the future.
âA one-million-year-old blood ginseng.â He gazed at the ginseng in Li Qiyeâs hand.
She didnât bother correcting his mistake because she made the same one.
âYou caught it?â He asked Li Qiye, thinking that the guy got lucky.
âYep, came across it by chance.â Li Qiye answered.
The monarch didnât hide the greed in his eyes. This ginseng was extremely nutritious. Eating it might give him a third fruit or at the very least, prolong his life considerably.
âAre you a member of Alchemy Dao?â He hesitated, not wanting to provoke the wrong person since Alchemy Daoâs influence couldnât be understated. Everyone wanted to please this sect so they would be more than happy to take care of its enemies.
âNo.â Li Qiye smiled and shook his head.
The monarch glanced at the saintess, hoping to see the truth.
She shook her head as well since this was the truth.
âLittle Brother, I can feel a fateful connection between the ginseng and myself.â The monarchâs greed triumphed after receiving confirmation.
âHow so?â Li Qiye asked.
The monarch took out a pot and said: âThis is a priceless vessel. Would you like to make a trade?â
He paused for a bit before adding: âIt can create a treasure each day for you and will guarantee a lifetime of wealth.â
The saintess thought that this was ridiculous. The monarch must be thinking that he was talking to a naive junior.
He was right about the potâs effect. It could produce a treasure each day but this was limited to the mortal level. For example, a shining pearl or jade - completely worthless in the eyes of masters.
âIâm not interested in trading it.â Li Qiye shook his head.
âLittle Brother, let me know what you want. How about joining Divine Alliance? I can give you a glowing recommendation.â The monarch insisted.
âNo need.â Li Qiye flatly refused.
This infuriated the monarch. If it wasnât for the saintessâ presence, he might have just taken it already.
âIt is meant to be with me.â He repeated.
âYes, you brought this up already.â Li Qiye nodded.
âSo I must have it.â The monarchâs eyes became fierce.
âThatâs your issue.â Li Qiye ignored the implication.
âBrat, be smart and hand it over.â The monarch changed his tone and uttered coldly.
âAnd if I refuse?â Li Qiye smiled.
The monarch was surprised, thinking that there was something wrong with the bratâs brains. Did he not know how to act before a dragon lord?
âDo you know who I am?â He asked.
âJust a nobody.â Li Qiye shook his head.
âHahaha!â The monarch trembled with rage before bursting out in laughter.
The saintess thought that the monarch was indeed relatively famous. However, the guy didnât even know her master, let alone him.
âBrat, donât you know your impudence is deserving of death?! Hand the blood ginseng and take the pot right now or I will end your life!â The monarch shouted, still insisting on a trade instead of robbing Li Qiye.
âYou really want this blood ginseng?â Li Qiye smirked.
âYes, hand it over now!â The monarch thought that Li Qiye was finally about to give up.
