#291 - His Royal Highness Qi Bai
Just as Zhongli Meiying was about to answer, City Lord Wang Mang walked over at the right time, patted Li Chengfeng on the shoulder, and laughed: "Isn't this a coincidence? Princess Zhongli Meiying has already sold the Blood Nether Stone to me.
If this young master is interested, we can discuss the price further."
Li Chengfeng raised an eyebrow and said, "That's really great. There's no time like the present. Let's take a look at the rare stones first. If the City Lord intends to sell, I will definitely not be stingy with spirit stones."
City Lord Wang Mang naturally wanted to sell these rare stones for a good price. Although these rare stones were of little use to him, it would be excellent if he could take this opportunity to fleece Qiu Fengyue.
He smiled and agreed, leading Li Chengfeng and Zhongli Meiying towards the treasury.
On the way, Li Chengfeng secretly cast the Tracking Subtlety Technique, vowing in his heart: "When my strength becomes strong enough, Zhongli Meiying, no matter where you escape to, I will capture you and properly deal with you, letting you know that the price of dealing with me, Li Chengfeng, is unbearable for you."
The treasury was built exceptionally large, covering more than ten acres. Special formations were arranged around it for protection, and its defense was even more rigorous than the protection formation of Tianluo Bazaar.
At the entrance, a cultivator in the early stage of the Golden Core realm guarded the place. Seeing the City Lord arrive, he immediately bowed and saluted, his armor emitting a dazzling light, and the formation patterns on it were alarming, obviously a valuable set of armor.
City Lord Wang Mang ordered: "Open the treasury."
The cultivator nodded in agreement, took out a token, and with a wave, the gate of the treasury slowly opened.
Li Chengfeng looked inside with bright eyes, only to see it piled with all kinds of stones. This was the treasury where the rare stones were stored.
City Lord Wang Mang smiled and said, "I have a total of one thousand three hundred stones here. Does this young friend intend to touch them one by one?"
Li Chengfeng laughed loudly: "No, no, no, I will only touch the stones that I am interested in. What's the point of touching those that I am not interested in?"
City Lord Wang Mang nodded: "Then please do as you please, young friend."
Li Chengfeng immediately began to search, with Qi Yan closely following behind, looking like a docile bird, even taking out a small fan to fan Li Chengfeng.
In the eyes of outsiders, Yu Yan seemed to have left Tianluo Bazaar and joined the big tree of Qiu Fengyue. This was also understandable. After all, such a big thing happened in Tianluo Bazaar, and Qi Yan was responsible for not going back.
Zhongli Meiying, on the other hand, was not interested in this kind of playboy immortal second generation. She was too lazy to take another look and began to examine the surrounding rare stones.
She also intended to be like Li Chengfeng, hoping to find a stone suitable for her, which might also be an opportunity.
City Lord Wang Mang had an expression of being in control, quietly watching the two.
Li Chengfeng stood in front of a pile of messy stones, his expression calm, revealing a calm and unhurried temperament.
He casually patted this stone and touched that one. Although he knew nothing about the origins of these stones, he was full of confidence in his choice.
He knew that although he might not understand the mysteries of these stones, someone did, and that was the old demon in his sea of consciousness.
The old demon, a former expert in the Tribulation Transcending Stage, was now just a wisp of remnant soul, but his knowledge and experience were still unmatched.
Li Chengfeng had long ago collected his soul in his sea of consciousness. What courage and魄力! Who else would dare to put the soul of an old demon who once dominated the world in their body?
But Li Chengfeng did it, and he even made the old demon afraid.
In the eyes of the old demon, Li Chengfeng's soul was like a scorching sun, and he would be evaporated into air if he got too close.
He could only obediently stay in the corner and asked, "Fellow Daoist, why did you call me into your sea of consciousness?"
Li Chengfeng smiled slightly and said, "Old demon, the reason I called you here this time is to ask you to help me choose some stones.
See which materials are rare and which are just waste.
If it's a good thing, I'll buy it. If it's waste, you can help me skip it.
If we cooperate in this way, we will definitely get a lot of benefits."
When the old demon heard this, he was immediately excited. Through Li Chengfeng's sea of consciousness, he could see the strange-shaped stones outside.
Although he was a little puzzled and confused at first, he quickly cheered up.
He knew that if he could help Li Chengfeng choose a few treasures, and Li Chengfeng was happy, he might reward him with thousands of mouthfuls of ghost energy. At that time, his strength would be restored.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but let out a smug laugh.
Li Chengfeng's methods were unique, and with the old demon's profound knowledge, the two of them could definitely pick out real treasures from a pile of stones.
Li Chengfeng knew very well that City Lord Wang Mang was not a kind person. He deliberately mixed some useless stones in it to attract buyers.
And take the opportunity to earn high price differences, harming many people. Li Chengfeng naturally didn't want to be the next victim.
Whenever his palm touched a stone, even if the old demon couldn't see anything, he would use his unique Cauldron Bottom Source Method to try to extract the power from it.
If the power was successfully extracted, it meant that the stone was extraordinary; otherwise, it was an ordinary stone.
Just as Li Chengfeng touched the tenth stone, a noisy sound suddenly came from outside. There were fourteen or five people, all young people from the sound of their voices.
One of them flattered: "Young City Lord, we are all relying on you this time.
I want to buy a rare stone and send it back to my father as a birthday gift.
In ten years, it will be my father's millennium birthday, and as the one hundred and sixty-fourth son, I have to show a little sincerity.
My father lacks nothing, but he lacks sincerity, so I came to you to take a look."
Listening to this tone, this person was obviously a prince.
The emperor of Qi State had more than three hundred children, and the emperor mentioned by this prince was nearly a thousand years old, with extremely terrifying strength, reaching the realm of a great cultivator in the late stage of the Nascent Soul stage, otherwise, how could he suppress the various sects of the entire Qi State.
A hearty and generous voice responded: "Your Highness Qi Bai, don't worry, the rare stones collected here can be said to be the sum of the entire Qi State. No one has more than me here.
My father likes to collect these precious stones, and he also leads me to be very interested in this.
No matter what stone, as long as Your Highness finds something you like, I will give it to you for free, which can be regarded as a little sincerity from a minister."
Qi Bai immediately said displeasedly: "What are you talking about? Do I lack this little thing from you?
However it should be calculated, just calculate it. It is giving me face that you can let me come to your family's treasure house to choose."
Qi Bai, the prince of Qi State, arrived gracefully, and the one who led the crowd and generously offered help was Wang Jun, the young city lord of Jinfeng City, Wang Mang's direct son.
The two talked happily, surrounded by the immortal second generations of other sects, who were surrounded by them, flattering them, and praising the prince for his unique vision and the young city lord for his generosity.
A group of people stepped into it, but saw that there were already figures inside.
Wang Mang quickly stepped forward and respectfully clasped his fists in salute: "Wang Mang, the city lord of Jinfeng City, pays his respects to Your Highness."
Qi Bai waved his hand and smiled kindly: "Why does the city lord need to be so polite? I heard that the city lord has treasured many rare stones, so I came here to purchase them."
City Lord Wang Mang quickly said: "Your Highness is wrong. You can choose any stone here, and I won't charge a penny."
Although Wang Mang was generous on the surface, he secretly felt pain in his heart. Seeing Wang Jun squandering like this, he couldn't help but cursed this prodigal son in his heart. How could he set up a trap to trick people if he brought His Highness to choose?
