Chapter 54: To the Heavens and Into the Seas
Dream Weaver
“Fellow Daoist Wan, you and I both cultivate in pursuit of eternal life, where the sun and moon may fall but I do not, where heaven and earth may perish but I do not. Right now, the foundation of my Dao is within sight, and I must have it.”
“Never mind a mere spirit vein. Even if I had to exhaust everything I have, I would not hesitate.”
Lin Qi truly did not care about becoming the sucker in Wan Hai’s eyes. Right now, he only wanted to immediately obtain the Ten-Thousand-Li Map of Mountains and Rivers and then comprehend it on the spot.
As for everything else, it could all be discarded. It was nothing but worldly possessions.
Besides, that spirit vein he had discovered at the undersea volcano was, to him, somewhat useless anyway.
Going to exchange it for Contribution Points himself?
Too troublesome.
He had no Foundation Establishment Elder backing him. It would inevitably draw the covetous eyes of others. Trying to exchange it for Contribution Points would certainly bring a series of complications.
After all, Xiao Mingcheng and his group had already proven to him the consequences of wealth stirring the hearts of men.
And once he reached Foundation Establishment.
The value of a natural pure crystal spirit vein would become negligible.
After all, even Zhao Yueru could casually bestow one upon Zhao Qingxue.
So if Wan Hai was willing to accept this trade condition, it would undoubtedly be a happy occasion for all.
But unfortunately, Lin Qi sighed inwardly.
“Fine. Words are empty without proof. Since you are unwilling to accept this trade condition.”
“Then it will still be five high-grade artifacts.”
“But you need to give me some time to gather them.”
“Fine, I can wait another half month for you.”
Wan Hai had no idea what he had just missed out on. Seeing that Lin Qi was willing to accept the trade condition of five high-grade artifacts, a smile rose on his face once more.
“No need to wait that long.”
Lin Qi reluctantly returned the Ten-Thousand-Li Map of Mountains and Rivers to Wan Hai. After exchanging contact methods with Wan Hai, he turned and left.
Seeing Lin Qi and Wan Hai part ways, Steward Chen, thinking the deal had been settled, hurried over.
“Old Chen, you came back just in time. Help me entertain Fellow Daoist Wan properly.”
“I’ll be back in a moment.”
After saying this to Steward Chen, Lin Qi suddenly soared into the air. Under the stunned gazes of the two men, without a shred of hesitation, he flew toward the starry sky.
“You two didn’t reach an agreement? Where is he going?”
Steward Chen asked instinctively.
“How would I know!”
Wan Hai answered irritably, watching as Lin Qi flew higher and faster, soon completely vanishing into the dark starry sky.
Wan Hai felt an inexplicable sense of unease and spoke up. “Just what is this guy’s background? Does he have companions waiting for him in the starry sky?”
“No. I’m the only one who came with him.”
Steward Chen was equally bewildered, unable to understand why Lin Qi had suddenly flown into space.
“Then why did he fly out—”
