"Okay, I won't keep you in suspense. I'll tell you."
The guy who claimed to be a half-immortal thought for a moment and continued:
“As everyone knows, our Lord Emperor is not only the God of Rock, but also has other titles such as God of War and Immortal, and one of them is the God of Wealth.
“As the God of Wealth, he naturally knows how to find treasure.
"Your chance will not appear in your destiny in this life, but as the immortal who is the true disciple of the Emperor, I decided to use his treasure-hunting method to awaken your chance!"
"Okay, please!" The young man nodded.
The half-immortal figure flipped out a yellowed piece of paper from the stall.
Then he started drawing something similar to a talisman on the spot. Every stroke was done neatly and looked very serious.
Soon.
After finishing drawing a talisman with black characters on a yellow background, he threw it directly towards the young man.
Just when it hit the man, the talisman suddenly burst into flames, and burned out in the air with a "fu" sound, leaving behind a little ash that fell on the young man.
"This, this, this is the Void Burning Talisman! This is the legendary immortal technique!"
A few steps to the right of Li Qiuzhi and the others, a fat man with a big belly and a round face spoke excitedly.
"What? This is the method of the immortals!"
The onlookers were talking about it, and the use of talismans and the like was indeed in line with their imagination of the style of immortals.
"Ah, I feel it, I'm going to be rich! Haha, I'm going to be rich!"
The young man over there seemed to have received some inspiration after Fu Huiluo, and started dancing with joy.
Not long after, he calmed down, took a breath and said to the half-immortal:
"Thank you so much, Master Banxian. Just now, a treasure worth at least 10 million Moras appeared in my mind. Is this my chance? It's incredible!"
"That's right, opportunities don't wait for anyone, go get it quickly, bring it back and let everyone know that I am not a liar!"
The middle-aged man waved his hand and said in a relaxed manner.
"Okay, by the way, how much does this fortune-telling cost, Master Banxian?"
The young man did not seem to be overwhelmed by the tens of millions of Mora-level treasures. Instead, he looked very grateful and said.
"Well, mundane things like Mora are useless to an immortal like me, but in order to prevent the world from losing its gratitude, I will symbolically accept 100,000 Mora."
The middle-aged man said this with one hand behind his grey robe and the other stroking his beard.
"What? You only charge me 100,000 Mora for helping me find a treasure worth 10 million? That's too good of a bargain!"
The young man said in surprise.
Then he readily took out a bag of Mora, handed it to the Half-Immortal Lord, and ran out, looking eager to find his own opportunity.
Could you please not act so awkwardly?
Li Qiuzhi complained in his heart.
Li Qiuzhi admired their courage to cheat under the name of the Rock King. If the old man knew about it, he would definitely make them taste the punishment of "eating rock".
But perhaps it is precisely because they dare to do things that others dare not do that everyone, especially the elderly, believes in them.
"Is he really an immortal? And he can actually use that kind of talisman!" Paimon said in surprise.
"I didn't detect any elemental fluctuations. It was probably done with gunpowder or something like that. Perhaps it's similar to the principle of quenching rockets."
Ying folded her arms and placed it under her chest, guessing with a thoughtful look on her fair face.
She just couldn't figure out how it was done specifically.
"Okay, who else would like my guidance? In order not to abuse the fortune-telling technique passed down to me by the Emperor, the number of names per day is limited. Please hurry up!"
The middle-aged man wearing a square hat looked around at the growing crowd and said.
"I, Lord Banxian, please let me go first!" The fat man with a big belly and a round face stepped forward first and said, "I also want to know where my fortune lies!"
"This is not difficult." The middle-aged man performed the same operation again.
Then the round-faced fat man also ran away happily. With these two experiences as examples, the other people who were watching seemed to be tempted as well.
But they all looked hesitant.
Firstly, they don’t have any desires at their age, and secondly, one hundred thousand Mora is still too much for them!
Until then, a little boy dressed richly and beautifully suddenly spoke up:
"Master Banxian, I want to learn your magic, no matter how many Moras you have!"
Humph, he was finally fooled. The middle-aged man looked at the little boy and spoke, and he felt relieved.
That’s right, the first two were his agents, and all the fortune-telling and magic were fake.
If anyone else wanted to try it, the price of 100,000 Mora would be enough to dissuade them. The reason why I went to so much trouble to do all this was for this little boy.
Zhao Bing, the son of the leader of the "Five Swords Sect" in Shimen!
He has disliked martial arts and loved cultivating immortals since childhood, but how can a mere mortal learn the techniques of cultivating immortals?
The leader of the "Five Sword Sect", Zhao Kuo, doted on his son very much, so he made a big fuss about finding the method of cultivating immortality and promised a generous reward!
This made many people in the martial arts world excited, and immediately a trend of searching for immortals formed in Liyue.
As for why this “Five Sword Sect” has such great power?
Of course, it is because they are engaged in transportation in Shimen, the transportation hub between the two countries, and they are the most successful among several private transportation service agencies.
According to estimates by some people, the "Wudaomen" occupies at least 10% of the entire Shimen transportation market.
There is even a trend of radiating and growing outward.
This shows that the person is extremely rich, so the reward must be huge. However, the art of cultivating immortals is not so easy to find, and several months have passed without any result.
Moreover, these days, Qiu Shicai and his two companions have been searching for the art of cultivating immortals for them in the mountains and forests, but they have not found any and have no income from work.
They simply wasted several months of their time!
How could they tolerate this, so they approached the "Five Sword Sect" and asked them to pay them a few months' salary for finding the art of cultivating immortals for them, which was no more than three million Mora.
But it was obvious that the "Five Swordsmen" refused.
Please read, recommend, and vote monthly. Thank you all for your support!
Chapter 204 Kidnapping
There are so many people looking for magic for the "Five Sword Sect". If we ask them all for millions, they will go bankrupt on the spot!
After failing to get the money, Qiu Shicai and his companions had no choice but to leave. After all, it was impossible for him to force the money from them.
But after that day, they became angrier and angrier and couldn't sleep.
So the clever man came up with a plan.
Don’t you want to become an immortal? Then I will become an immortal and teach you. As long as we can successfully kidnap this little guy, why would we bother looking for the technique to become an immortal?
Just ask his father Zhao Kuo directly!
"Oh? You want to learn my magic?" Qiu Shicai looked at the little boy seriously.
"Yes!" replied the little boy Zhao Bing.
He grew up listening to stories about the Emperor and wanted to become like him, so he was very interested in immortal arts.
Today he unexpectedly met this man who claimed to be the true descendant of the Emperor. He felt surprised and his first reaction was disbelief, but there was a kind of hope in his heart that made him stay to see if he was genuine.
Reading the stories he told later on felt like his own experiences, and he even used talismans that only immortals could use!
What he saw with his own eyes made Zhao Bing believe that he must be the disciple who had received the true teachings of the Emperor, and there was no doubt about it.
He didn't want to miss this opportunity, so he asked the half-immortal to teach him immortal arts.
"Haha, I see your firm determination to seek the truth in your eyes.
"If you want to learn the method of cultivating immortals, I can teach you, and I won't even charge you any money, but you must pass my test."
The corners of Qiu Shicai's mouth rose slightly, and he kept telling himself in his heart that he was about to succeed, and he must perform well at this time and not fail.
"No matter what the test is, please tell me. I will definitely pass it!"
Zhao Bing clenched his fist and said.
Seeing that I was determined to seek the truth, this half-immortal refused to accept any money. He is indeed worthy of being a disciple of the Emperor. He must be looking for a successor.
You don't want the magic you learned from the Emperor to be lost.
I, Zhao Bing, am now fourteen years old. I have been seeking the truth unwaveringly for four years. Today, I finally received the mercy of the immortal!
“Hmph, the test is simple. Although I know that you are determined to seek the truth, if you want to practice immortal arts, you must stay away from the world and not be disturbed by the hustle and bustle of the mundane world.
"So, you must show me that you have the fortitude to endure a lonely life in the mountains before I can teach you the magic."
Qiu Shicai said while stroking his long black beard on his chin.
"Okay, Master Banxian, please tell me what I need to do?" Zhao Bing naturally agreed without hesitation.
"It's easy. You and Banxian go to the wilds of Dihuazhou and live there for a few days, eating dew in the morning and clouds in the evening. Then I can tell whether you have the talent to cultivate immortality."
Qiu Shicai said with a smile.
Once you come with me, you will be at my mercy!
Hehe, boy, why is the young master practicing Taoism?
Zhao Bing's eyes lit up. That's right, this is how cultivating immortality should be done.
Just when he was about to agree, the follower beside him said anxiously:
"No, Young Master. There are not only wild beasts but also many monsters in the wild. How can you live in such a place?!"
"Since immortals can do it, how can I cultivate immortality if I can't?"
Although Zhao Bing has a gentle personality, he is so stubborn that even ten oxen cannot pull him back, just like he is pursuing the way to immortality and wants to become an immortal.
"That's right. This Immortal is willing to give you a chance, and it's your destiny. It just so happens that I'm free now, so I can set out now to test you for two days. Otherwise, you'll miss it."
Qiu Shicai felt that he had grasped the little guy's emotions, and he was so excited that he almost laughed.
Next, there were no surprises.
What the young master of the "Five Sword Sect" wanted to do was something that no follower could persuade him to stop.
The crowd that was watching, mostly old people and children, seemed to be deceived. In fact, they were fooled by the fact that he used the Void Burning Talisman to instruct two people to find the treasure.
Seeing the so-called half-immortal leading the little boy away, and the followers being scolded by the little boy not to follow, Paimon also felt a little strange:
"Something seems to be wrong. Should we follow them secretly and take a look?"
"Didn't you think that guy was pretty powerful just now?"
Ying put her hands on her waist, her white fingers slightly bent and pressed on her lower abdomen covered by the white dress, and looked at her with a "disdainful" expression on her face.
"Isn't it because I don't know much about talismans? Later I thought that it wasn't that difficult to do this. It felt like some kind of 'magic' performed by street performers."
Paimon spread his hands and said.
"Well, we can't just stand by and watch something so obviously problematic. Let's follow them and see what they're up to."
Li Qiuzhi pondered for a moment and then spoke.
Just now, he briefly opened the Golden Eyes of Judgment and looked at the so-called half-immortal in the crowd. He was only level 17, similar to an ordinary Knight of Favonius.
There is no need to worry about any danger.
"it is good."
Ying and Paimon are also kind-hearted people. They have always had this idea. In short, they must not let the bad guys' conspiracy succeed.
After a while, the onlookers here gradually dispersed.
The young man who should be the little boy's follower should have gone back to inform the boy's family.
Being able to afford to hire followers, it seems that they are a wealthy family in Liyue.
If it really is a kidnapping, then rescue the naive little boy who has been deceived.
It would be unreasonable not to give 1.8 million Mora as a thank you.
