Chapter 419: Respect and Wors.h.i.+p 4
“You’re just rank six,” observed Qi Qingyao.
“Rank six…”
Hearing her tone… She still seemed to be looking down on a rank six? This woman had been made to think that cultivation was very simple because of the many powerhouses around her. Speechless, he reminded her, “It’s because I’m busy taking care of my businesses every day and my core duty isn’t in cultivation. The master who taught me said that I had too many distracting thoughts and that my heart was uncertain! That’s why my cultivation has been delayed. But being a rank six is enough to save one’s life! You’d have no problems dealing with a few everyday thieves.”
Lu Yan was too lazy to explain too much so he went straight to the point. “You should also know it now because of Si Jin’s mysterious circ.u.mstances. If he is not your children’s biological father, he will leave you one day.”
“…” She knew this. It was like the last time when Si Jin had disappeared for so long. If that were to happen again, she would be dead in no time.
She had to master skills on her own!
She could not leave her safety in the hands of others!
Lu Yan said seriously, “What you need to do now before he leaves is to get the Pill of Omnipotence!”
“So, how much does one pill cost?” Qi Qingyao asked casually.
Lu Yan glanced over at the courtyard and thought for a bit. Then he said, “You can probably get one Pill of Omnipotence by selling this house and all the antiques inside it.”
Qi Qingyao, “…”
Lu Yan restrained himself a little but eventually stretched out his hand and helped her close her jaw that was almost touching the ground. Once that was done, he said, “There’s no need to be that shocked. This is the price for turning an ordinary person with no knowledge into a cultivator.”
After a pause, he murmured, “Why else do you think cultivators are so valuable? Those that are rank eight or nine are even more valuable.” The fact that Si Jin and Jiang Yeqian killed so many rank eights last time was honestly a waste of nature’s resources!
A flaming s.h.i.+ne seemed to have lit itself inside Qi Qingyao’s dark eyes as she said hurriedly, “You’re saying so much, so you must be implying something in between the lines. Could it be that there are some Pills of Omnipotence on sale recently?”
“This is why I like talking to someone intelligent like you.” Lu Yan rubbed his chin leisurely and glanced at her sideways. Feigning an air of mystery, he said, “Hearsay the Crescent Auction House in Qingzhou City will be selling a Pill of Omnipotence on the 15th. The starting price is one million taels…of silver.” The Crescent Auction House was a property of the ghost organization.
“The starting price is already that high…” Qi Qingyao once again felt like throwing up blood. If the starting price was one million taels of silver, the final price might be ten times that.
Lu Yan remained indifferent as he said, “The people who will be there are the wealthy folk of Qingzhou City. However, this time…there are also the distinguished guests from Eastern Ling and some powerhouses from Dazhou and Daming who are lying low in Qingzhou City. So, the final price this time around will undoubtedly be high.” The fight would definitely become big with so many rich people around.
Qi Qingyao muttered with dissatisfaction, “All these powerhouses can already cultivate, so why are they still fighting for this?”
“Didn’t I already mention it just now? This item is really rare. Things that are rare have great value, and many children of the influential officials of capitals of each country lack talent. So they want to use the Pill of Omnipotence to broaden their horizons! That’s why it is inevitably so expensive.” Saying this, Lu Yan unconsciously stretched out his hand to pat her head. Qi Qingyao raised her head to look at him in surprise. Lu Yan only then realized his subconscious actions. He withdrew his hand swiftly and coughed somewhat awkwardly.
Qi Qingyao, “…”
This person could already pat other people’s heads without thinking.
It seems that his illness has alleviated a little.
She did not say much about it. Lu Yan, being the thin-skinned person he was, suddenly got shy and angry…
