“How is it? Have you thought about it?”The Dragon Clan continued to pressure him.
“Sir, I don’t want this child anymore…”the old man finally gritted his teeth. Compared to this child, the livelihood of the father and son was more important.
“Humph! Wouldn’t it be over if it was like this earlier? The most important thing in doing business is honesty. If you go back on your words, how will others do business with you?”The Dragon Clan said.
“Yes! Yes! Yes! Sir, you are right!”The old shopkeeper nodded repeatedly. Although his heart was bleeding, he could not help but lower his head.
“Old shopkeeper, I will not take this child for free. Here are 2,000 wood crystals. Consider it as compensation for your loss.”At this time, Jiang Fei walked forward and handed a large bag of spirit stones to the old shopkeeper.
“This…”the old shopkeeper was dumbfounded. He did not expect Jiang Fei to be so generous. This was 2,000 spirit stones. It was enough to buy his small shop!
“Thank you, Sir…”at this moment, the old shopkeeper had nothing more to say. Although the little boy was not ordinary, he had already fallen into the hands of the other party. He had no chance of getting it back, now that the other party was willing to give him such a large sum of money, he was already satisfied.
After settling the spiritual stones with the old shopkeeper, Jiang Fei brought the little boy outside. At that moment, the dragon race that was guarding the ten thousand beasts gathering came over.
“Brother, let’s have a chat at my place,”the Dragon Race said to Jiang Fei.
“Sure.”Jiang Fei nodded and said to Hong Yun, “Alright, you have already sent me to the ten thousand beasts gathering. The matter between us is settled.”
“Yes, Senior.”Hong Yun saw that Jiang Fei was so close to the dragon race, naturally, she did not dare to stay by his side anymore. Therefore, after she handed the bag of illusion stones to Jiang Fei, she turned around and left. After all, she had brought Jiang Fei to the ten thousand beasts gathering and helped him collect the illusion stones. All of this was just to repay his kindness.
“Let’s go.”Jiang Fei turned around and said to the dragon race.
“Okay!”The dragon nodded and then brought Jiang Fei to his residence.
As the place that guarded the thousand beasts gathering was only the temporary residence of the dragon race, the decorations were also very ordinary. Usually, the dragon race would bring the treasures back to their own lair. They would not waste their treasures in such a temporary residence.
“You go and sit in that pavilion for a while. I have something to say to him,”Jiang Fei pointed at a small pavilion in the middle of the courtyard and said to the little boy.
“Okay!”The little boy nodded obediently and went to wait in the small pavilion alone.
“May I know your name, brother? You are also a member of the Dragon Race, right?”Asked the dragon after entering the living room and taking a seat.
“My name is Jiang Fei,”said Jiang Fei as he released his aura.
“Greetings, my Lord!”Once Jiang Fei’s aura was released, the dragon race could not sit still anymore. After all, he was just an ordinary dragon. Jiang Fei’s aura was indeed that of a superior Dragon Royal!
“Alright, there’s no need to be so polite. What’s Your Name?”Jiang Fei smiled and waved his hand. Then, he withdrew his aura.
“I’m Qi Meng,”the Dragon replied.
“HMM.”Jiang Fei nodded.
“My Lord, is there anything important that you came to the ten thousand beasts gathering for?”Qi Meng asked.
“I’ve been collecting illusion stones recently, so I came here to take a look,”Jiang Fei said.
“Illusion Stone? What’s the use of that thing?”Qi Meng was stunned. This kind of thing did not have any practical use. The dragon race generally would not be interested in it.
“I want to make a small thing, so I need some,”Jiang Fei said very casually.
“Don’t worry, sir. As long as it’s in my thousand beasts gathering, I will get it for you as soon as possible!”Qi Meng patted his chest and said.
“I’ll have to Trouble You Then.”Of course, Jiang Fei would not reject such a good thing.
“It’s just a small matter. You Don’t have to be so polite, my lord.”Qi Meng laughed. Then, he changed the topic and asked Jiang Fei, “My Lord, you’re fighting with that old man over this child. What is his background?”
“This little boy?”Jiang Fei smiled and then said, “His background is very big!”
“Oh? Then, can you pick my ears?”Qi Meng asked curiously.
“HMM… it’s hard to say…”Jiang Fei hesitated for a moment. He did not want to tell others about the little boy’s background.
“Sir, if it’s not convenient for you to tell me, then forget it…”although Qi Meng was curious, he did not dare to ask too much. After all, Jiang Fei was a superior dragon royalty, a person with such a status was not someone that an ordinary dragon like him could afford to offend.
Moreover, Qi Meng could also tell that the old man probably knew about the little boy’s background. When that time came, even if Jiang Fei did not tell him, he could still ask the old man about it.
“Hehe, actually, it’s nothing much. This kid is just a natural weapon spirit.”Jiang Fei saw Qi Meng’s expression and knew that he would go back and ask the old man about it. Moreover, Jiang Fei did not want to kill the old man to silence him, therefore, he simply said it out loud.
“Natural tool spirit? What does that mean?”In the end, Qi Meng did not understand it at all. This was because in this era, the path of crafting had not yet taken off. Who knew what a tool spirit was.
“Let’s put it this way. This little guy was not raised by his mother and father. He was some kind of tool. He was nourished by the heaven and earth and eventually transformed into something,”Jiang Fei explained briefly. However, he did not reveal the true origin of this little guy.
This was because this little boy was no other than the artifact spirit of the nine revolutions astrolabe!
When Jiang Fei first obtained the nine revolutions astrolabe, the nine revolutions astrolabe was already a defective product. It had lost a large portion of its functions and functions, therefore, it could only be used to travel between the five directions of heaven and earth and the outside world.
Because of the damage, the artifact spirit of the nine revolutions astrolabe had disappeared. Jiang Fei did not know whether it was dead or had gone to another place.
However, when Jiang Fei saw the little boy today, he had a strange feeling towards him. Similarly, the little boy also felt extremely close to Jiang Fei because Jiang Fei had too many accessories for the nine revolving astrolabe.
It was precisely because of this that Jiang Fei was determined not to let go of the little boy after he met him. Without the little boy, even if he had the complete nine revolving astrolabe.., it would not be able to bring out its full potential.
As for the old shopkeeper of the slave shop, he did not know from where he found out that the little boy was an artifact spirit. Therefore, he felt that he was not ordinary and wanted to keep it in his hands. However, he definitely did not know that the little boy was the artifact spirit of the nine revolving astrolabe, otherwise, he would have hidden the little boy long ago.
To put it bluntly, the old man knew that the little boy was not ordinary. Therefore, he wanted to wait for the price to be sold. Now that Jiang Fei had given him 2,000 spirit stones as compensation, the old man was satisfied.
“I see…”after listening to Jiang Fei’s explanation, everyone nodded vigorously. However, they still could not understand why Jiang Fei would spend so many spiritual stones for this little boy.
“These upper-cla.s.s people always like to collect strange things. Moreover, these guys are really rich. They are selling for thousands of spiritual stones…”Qi Meng muttered to himself.
