But still, it brought a somewhat uncomfortable feeling to his heart.
Taking a stroll now seemed like a good idea.
At least, it could somewhat soothe his mood.
On the streets, a constant stream of pedestrians bustled to and fro.
Among these pedestrians, some belonged to the Luo Family, while others were from different powers.
After all, this was one of the busiest areas of Qingshi City.
It was normal to see such a busy crowd.
“Uncle Chen, is there any news of the Qin Family in Qingshi City?” Luo Yao asked as he walked.
Young Family Head, rest assured,” Uncle Chen replied as he looked at Luo Yao, “The Qin Family has no significant influence here in Qingshi City.” freёweɓnovel.com
“What is the current situation of the Qin Family?” Luo Yao inquired indifferently.
“Young Family Head, given the great distance between our Luo Family and the Qin Family, I am not too clear on some specific information…”
Uncle Chen spoke in a low voice.
“It doesn’t matter.”
Luo Yao shook his head, then no longer concerned himself with the Qin Family affairs.
He then wandered leisurely around the Inner City of Qingshi City with a calm demeanor.
As Luo Yao walked, he suddenly came upon a stall displaying all sorts of antiques and jade objects.
The stall was surrounded by a fair number of people, each carefully examining the antiques and jade items.
Luo Yao glanced over indifferently, then withdrew his gaze.
“Young friend, I see your demeanor is extraordinary; certainly, you must be a man of great destiny,” said a voice suddenly beside Luo Yao at that moment.
Luo Yao turned his head and saw an elder wearing a gray robe and a hat standing beside him.
The elder appeared extremely old as if a gust of wind could knock him over.
“Oh? The old gentleman flatters me,” Luo Yao replied indifferently. “I possess no such destiny; I’m just an ordinary person.”
“You’re being modest, young friend,” the elder said with a slight smile. “I feel a connection with you, and I have a treasure that I would like to bestow upon you.”
With that, the elder took out a jade bottle from within his robes.
The jade bottle looked very ordinary, as if one could buy it from any roadside stall.
But when the elder handed the jade bottle to Luo Yao, he felt… a faint trace of Qi-Blood Force emanating from it.
“This is a priceless treasure,” the elder told Luo Yao. “Please, I insist that you accept it.”
Upon hearing this, Luo Yao’s expression became somewhat strange.
A treasure?
Was this old man joking with him?
Or had the old fellow gone mad?
This thing, a treasure?
Luo Yao thought for a moment and then took the jade bottle from the old man’s hands.
He was curious to see what this old fellow was up to.
Seeing Luo Yao accept the jade bottle, the elder showed a satisfied smile.
“Young friend, this object is something I found in a relic years ago,” the elder spoke slowly. “For you, this jade bottle may not be a treasure, but it certainly is a rare item.”
“Oh, is that so?” Luo Yao asked the elder, his face showing little emotion.
The elder nodded.
The next moment, the elder’s figure flashed, and he appeared directly in front of Luo Yao.
He extended a hand and placed it on Luo Yao’s shoulder.
“Young friend, what I am about to tell you, remember it well,” the elder said. “Contained within that jade bottle is a Spiritual Beast with bloodlines from Ancient Times.”
“Spiritual Beast?” Luo Yao frowned slightly.
“Yes,” the elder nodded. “Furthermore, this Spiritual Beast’s bloodline is exceptionally powerful, not something common beasts can compare with.”
“What bloodline is it exactly?” Luo Yao asked curiously.
“Have you heard of the Nine-turn Blood Phoenix?” the elder inquired.
“Nine-turn Blood Phoenix?” Luo Yao frowned slightly. “It does ring a slight bell…”
“That’s right,” the elder nodded. “Enclosed within that jade bottle is a Nine-turn Blood Phoenix cub.”
Hiss…
As soon as the elder said this, many of the bystanders around them gasped.
The Nine-turn Blood Phoenix…
That was a genuine Ancient Spiritual Beast!
Such a powerful bloodline in a Spiritual Beast had already gone extinct in ancient times.
Who would have thought that within Qingshi City, one could still encounter its young cub?
If one were to raise the young cub to maturity, wouldn’t there then exist a terrifying power at their side?
“However, because of my old age, I came to this city and offered this Jade Bottle to the young master, at the cost of a huge amount of assets.”
“So…”
As he spoke, the greedy look in the old man’s eyes flashed more intensely.
Apparently, all that had come before was just a prelude.
Now, this moment was when the old man’s true intentions were revealed.
“So, I hope the young master can pay a price,” said the old man, looking at Luo Yao. “As long as the young master pays a price, then I shall gift the Nine-turn Blood Phoenix cub to the young master.”
Upon hearing this, the corners of Luo Yao’s mouth couldn’t help but curl into a somewhat mocking smile.
This old thing, to actually dare to scheme in front of him?
Did he really think he was some kind of fool who knew nothing?
“Price? What price?” Luo Yao asked indifferently.
“A hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones, and then I will gift the Nine-turn Blood Phoenix cub to the young master,” the old man replied, looking at Luo Yao.
“A hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones?”
Luo Yao’s brows slightly furrowed, then he retorted, “Spirit Stones are precious resources, how could you think I would have a hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones on me?”
The old man laughed confidently and said, “If I say the young master has them, then you must have them.”
Luo Yao’s expression gradually turned colder as he replied, “Even if I really did have them, why should I believe you?”
“Just on the strength of those few muddled words you are spouting?”
“Young master, this is the cub of an Ancient Spiritual Beast,” the old man said, looking at Luo Yao. “If you can get this Nine-turn Blood Phoenix cub, then in the future, you surely will gain an unimaginable benefit.”
Upon hearing this, Luo Yao spoke mildly, “If you so desire this Nine-turn Blood Phoenix cub, why not keep it for yourself instead of gifting it to me?”
“This…”
The old man, upon hearing this, was momentarily at a loss for words.
“Hmph.”
Luo Yao snorted coldly, then turned around and walked away.
What a joke, this old thing clearly intended to manipulate him.
Though Luo Yao was no peerless genius, he was certainly no fool.
Such a crude trick, and he was expected to fall for it?
Onlookers who had watched Luo Yao turn around and walk away suddenly crowded around him.
They forcibly squeezed Luo Yao back to the side of the old man.
It turned out that these spectators were not real spectators at all.
They were… shills found by the old man.
If a normal trade could be conducted, that would naturally be the best outcome.
But if not…
Then these people would have to resort to more aggressive measures.
As for whether this matter would come to the knowledge of the Luo Family, the overlords of Qingshi City?
The old man could only plan to make a clean escape after this deal.
After the dust settled, he would return.
What could the Qingshi City Luo Family possibly know?
And even if they did find out, what then?
As long as he didn’t harm any member of the Qingshi City Luo Family, would they really stubbornly keep their eyes fixed on him relentlessly?
“Gentlemen, this youngster definitely has Spirit Stones on him,” the old man said to the people he had forcibly pulled over, a vicious smile appearing on his face.
As long as he could get the Spirit Stones, then his trip would not be in vain.
Everything else was irrelevant.
Once he left Qingshi City, wasn’t the world vast enough for him to do as he pleased?
As for the Luo Family…
As long as he could get his hands on those Spirit Stones.
He didn’t care about the Luo Family.
“Kid, just hand over the Spirit Stones you have on you, and this Jade Bottle is yours,” the old man said, looking at Luo Yao. “Besides, I can also agree to a request from you, free of charge.”
