Chapter 782: Chapter 782

"Master, I might not be able to fight for a while, I need to refine the Rock Python's power," the Blood Flood Dragon communicated to Qin Yi.

Qin Yi nodded slightly, "No problem, just focus on your cultivation. But let me remind you, don't disgust me again in the future."

Damn, this guy's words just now really disgusted him. Little Flood Dragon... Qin Yi shivered involuntarily.

Qin Yi glanced at Mo Wuji and the others, and laughed, "Hey, you're supposed to be the elites of each family, don't always look like idiots, it's really embarrassing."

Mo Wuji and the others: "..."

A weapon that's alive, such a strange thing would shock anyone, right?

Qin Yi's eyes flickered a bit, "Let's go, we'll find that black crow. If we don't roast and eat all those stupid birds of his this time, he won't know that I, Qin Yi, also have the potential to be a bad guy."

Also have the potential to be a bad guy?

Mo Wuji and the others didn't dare to say it out loud, but in their hearts: Do you really think you're a good guy?

Just as they were about to leave, Qin Yi suddenly stopped after walking a few steps.

Mo Wuji curiously asked, "Brother Qin, what's wrong?"

Qin Yi's lips curled up slightly, and he sneered, "They're coming pretty fast."

Mo Wuji and the others were a little stunned, just about to ask for clarification when they heard faint approaching footsteps.

Before long, a group of people appeared in their sight, and they were all acquaintances.

Leading them was the City Lord of Sand City, Lin Zhengnan. There was also Wang Zheng, the Black Crow, and a dozen Armored Warriors.

"Qin Yi, it seems there's no place you won't meet people in life, here we meet again." Lin Zhengguo had changed from the rough cotton clothing he wore when selling tofu pudding to a dark red robe, his gray hair meticulously combed, looking quite dignified.

This is what a City Lord should look like. Orıginal content can be found at 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝕟𝕖𝕥

Qin Yi's lips curled into a smile, "What a coincidence, just taking a walk and bumping into City Lord Lin."

Lin Zhengguo's lips twitched slightly. Looking around, when the Blood Flood Dragon and the Rock Python were fighting just now, the surrounding strange rocks were destroyed, and the ground cracked.

"It seems you've encountered some trouble?"

Qin Yi smirked, "Any trouble to Qin is not called trouble."

As he spoke, Qin Yi looked at the Black Crow, "Can I ask you something?"

The Black Crow was slightly stunned, then nodded slowly.

Qin Yi smiled brightly, asking, "How many heads do you have?"

The Black Crow looked bewildered, he only had one head, right?

"You damn crow, you dare to deceive me?"

The Black Crow softly said, "The Earth Spirit Stone Mine is too important, a single mine can nurture a Sand Sea Patrol Team. As a subject of the Gorge, I cannot hide this matter."

"Aren't you afraid I'll roast and eat those birds of yours?"

The Black Crow's face changed dramatically, those birds were his lifeblood.

Lin Zhengnan laughed, "Qin Yi, can you be reasonable? This Earth Spirit Stone Mine originally belongs to us. You outsiders still want to bully us locals, do you think I as the City Lord don't exist?"

"You're their City Lord, not ours," Qin Yi pouted.

Wang Zheng stepped forward and said, "Qin Yi, you know the situation in the Gorge. Earth Spirit Stones are very important to every warrior, as their cultivation improves, their self-preservation ability on the battlefield increases."

"Old Wang, stop with this kind of talk. The Gorge is vast and rich, do you really need this one Earth Spirit Stone Mine? Besides, who said this mine is yours. I heard from the old Village Chief that the treasures of the Gorge belong to whoever finds them."

Wang Zheng smiled bitterly, "That's not wrong, but this Earth Spirit Stone Mine was indeed discovered by the Black Crow first."

Although his cultivation was above the Black Crow's, he still called him senior. First, because the Black Crow was old. Second, because the Black Crow could communicate with birds to find resources. Therefore, everyone respected the Black Crow.

Qin Yi sneered, "You discovered it. But it was us who found the Earth Spirit Stone Mine first. So, please return home. Bon voyage, no send-off.

Also, Black Crow, I'll be hungry these days. I'll come to you to eat my fill when the time comes."

The Black Crow's face changed drastically, he knew Qin Yi meant he would eat his birds.

Wang Zheng opened his mouth, about to argue, but Lin Zhengnan waved his hand, looking at Qin Yi with a smile, "Alright. Since you say this Earth Spirit Stone Mine is yours, we won't compete with you. Let's go."

Lin Zhengnan waved his hand and turned to leave.

Qin Yi was stunned, this wasn't the situation he expected.

Mo Wuji and the others were also baffled, not knowing what Lin Zhengnan was up to.

"Hey, wait a minute," Qin Yi called out.

Lin Zhengnan turned to look at him, "The Earth Spirit Stone Mine has been given to you, is there something else?"

Qin Yi suddenly smiled broadly, stepping forward, "Old Lin, don't be in such a hurry to leave. I just thought about it, this Earth Spirit Stone Mine was indeed discovered by you first, but we were the first to find it.

I'm soft-hearted, seeing you make a futile trip truly makes me feel guilty. So, I've decided to sell this mine to you for one hundred pieces of Earth Spirit Stone. This is a friendship price, what do you think? Consider it."

Mo Wuji and Bai Jingqing exchanged a glance, immediately understanding what Qin Yi was up to. He planned to trick Lin Zhengnan since only they three knew there was nothing in the mine.

Lin Zhengnan looked at Qin Yi, "A hundred pieces of Earth Spirit Stone to buy it from us?"

Qin Yi nodded, "I consider Old Wang as my own friend. If I monopolize this mine, it'd seem too disloyal. So, at a friendship price, I'll sell it to you for one hundred pieces of Earth Spirit Stone.

Think about it, this is a whole mine, just imagine how many hundreds of Earth Spirit Stones can be extracted. This is a surefire profitable deal, if it weren't for my good relationship with Old Wang, I wouldn't sell it even for a thousand pieces."

Lin Zhengnan's eyes flickered slightly, lowered his head in contemplation, clearly tempted, and said, "Let me think about it."

Qin Yi laughed internally, the fish was hooked. Now it was crucial not to let Lin Zhengnan think it over too carefully, or else he might see through it.

"Old Lin, what's there to consider about such a lucky deal? A surefire win, if you extract ten thousand pieces of Earth Spirit Stone, that's a hundred-fold profit, and you're still hesitating over such a windfall?

You're a City Lord, at least make a decisive move, yes or no, give a straightforward answer? Ah, you're killing me with worry, refusing even a bargain. Forget it, you better go back to selling your tofu pudding. Such a promising career is more suitable for you."

Lin Zhengnan looked at Wang Zheng, then at the Black Crow, and finally gritted his teeth, "Alright, deal."

Qin Yi was overjoyed inside, thinking that a hundred pieces of Earth Spirit Stone were about to be in his hands, he almost laughed out loud.

"Great, give me the Earth Spirit Stones, and the mine is yours."

Lin Zhengnan hesitated, looking at Qin Yi, "You won't go back on your word, right?"

Qin Yi thought: I fear you'll back out.

"Old Lin, when I, Qin Yi, say something, it's set in stone. Once I say it, I'll do it, and I'm the spokesperson for keeping promises. If you still don't trust me, I can swear that if I break my promise, let Old Mo and Little White Fairy never get married in this life."

Mo Wuji and Bai Jingqing's lips twitched, secretly cursing Qin Yi for his shamelessness. Why take the two of us as an oath?
