Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 1302 - 580: This Is Not Scrap Metal (Part 2)

"Then I advise you, it’s best to hand over the person behind you."

"Otherwise, he’ll have to collect your corpses for you."

Ning Qi also wore a disdainful look, watching the few people in front of him.

Just like looking at a bunch of corpses.

Murderous intent was already surging around him, clearly ready to make a move.

"Hmph, don’t be arrogant, you’ll see what happens to you later."

The assistant snorted coldly, then said to the person beside him, "Go and call the shopkeeper."

"Alright, I’ll go right away."

That person answered and then quickly left.

"Let’s see how arrogant you can be now."

The previous assistant laughed triumphantly at Ning Qi and Xu Qingqiu, "Not appreciating kindness!"

"Poof!"

However, before he could say anything more.

He was directly punched through the chest by Ning Qi.

He didn’t even know what happened before he died.

"How bold!"

"Daring to kill our people!"

"..."

The others saw this and were instantly enraged.

However, they only dared to shout here, none dared to step forward to fight.

They were well aware of Ning Qi’s strength, they were no match for him.

For now, they could only wait for their shopkeeper to come out.

"I’ll leave, let’s see who can stop me!"

Ning Qi snorted coldly, indifferent.

He gestured to Xu Qingqiu, "Let’s go."

"Alright!"

Xu Qingqiu agreed and followed Ning Qi out.

"Stop."

Just as they were about to leave, an old voice came from the side.

Hearing this, Ning Qi turned and saw an elderly man with graying hair walking over to them.

His eyes were full of solemnity.

When he reached Ning Qi, he sized him up.

"You’re the shopkeeper."

Ning Qi also looked at him, a hint of wariness in his eyes.

He could sense the old man’s strength, but compared to him, it was still slightly inferior.

Most importantly, with Xu Qingqiu by his side, he didn’t want to cause trouble that would be disadvantageous to her.

"Young man, you killed my people and saw my merchandise, and now you leave like this?"

The shopkeeper looked at Ning Qi, speaking coldly.

"Oh? You’re doing business, and not letting people see the goods?"

Ning Qi looked at the old man, then said, "Then why don’t you close your doors? Are you here just to extort?"

"Outrageous!"

Before the shopkeeper could speak, an assistant behind him said, "If you dare to rant again, you’ll pay the price."

"Bang!"

However, before he could finish speaking.

He was directly sent flying by a fierce aura from Ning Qi.

He crashed heavily into the wall, coincidentally being pierced by a sword.

The assistant, who was just jumping around and shouting, was killed just like that.

"How bold!"

The old man was furious at the sight, stepping forward to attack Ning Qi.

His withered hands were already reaching for Ning Qi’s chest.

Clearly, he was about to crush his chest directly.

"Slap!"

Ning Qi, instead of retreating, advanced, using just one hand to send the old man staggering backward a few steps.

"Be careful."

Xu Qingqiu, behind him, warned worriedly.

The old man staggered a few steps back but didn’t give up. He mustered his aura again, sweeping towards Ning Qi.

He intended to crush Ning Qi with his strength, showing him his power.

"Bang!"

However, before his momentum could fully unfold, it was blown away by a wave of energy, sending him flying backward.

He crashed into a nearby counter, immediately spewing a mouthful of blood.

"You!"

Only now did the old man realize that Ning Qi’s strength far surpassed his.

The arrogance in his eyes had vanished.

His face was full of disbelief.

"Me? What’s wrong?"

Ning Qi smiled, then stepped forward, "Speak."

"You’re a Heavenly Immortal master!"

Only now did the old man react, a hint of panic appearing on his aged face.

No one would have expected Ning Qi to be a Heavenly Immortal master.

In a sect, this would denote a Sect Leader, why would he come to such a place? Shouldn’t he be in seclusion for cultivation?

"Glad you have eyes."

Ning Qi smiled, then looked at the old man, "So, are you still asking me for spirit stones?"

"The adult jests, we were blind just now."

The old man quickly responded, pasting on a smile.

In front of a Heavenly Immortal, he didn’t have the heart for resistance, this was the absolute gap in strength.

He believed that if he made even a slight mistake, Ning Qi could directly finish him off.

That would be too unjust a death.

They had listened to that assistant, which brought them this calamity.

But that assistant was killed by Ning Qi, seeking reprisal was impossible now.

"Compensate me with a billion spirit stones, and I’ll forgive the incident."

"Otherwise, I’ll turn your shop upside down."

Ning Qi extended a finger, showing a playful expression, "Otherwise, you won’t learn your lesson."

"We don’t have that many spirit stones."

"Please, sir, forgive us."

"All the armor and weapons here, pick any you like."

The old man shook his head hastily, pointing at all the armor and weapons for Ning Qi to choose from.

"None of these can catch my eye."

Ning Qi shook his head, then continued, "But if you have something useful, if I’m in a good mood, I might spare you."

"This..."

The old man hesitated upon hearing this.

He hadn’t expected Ning Qi to be so demanding.

At this point, he could only make a financial sacrifice to avoid disaster.

"What? Unwilling?"

Seeing his hesitation, Ning Qi’s face turned cold.

His eyes were already surging with murderous intent.

"Sir, please... come to the backyard with me."

In the end, the old man made a decision, leading Ning Qi to the backyard.

"Alright!"

Ning Qi agreed and followed the old man to the backyard.

Xu Qingqiu followed, not hesitating, and walked over as well.

They quickly reached the backyard, with Ning Qi following the old man into a study.

After Ning Qi and the old man entered, she followed them directly inside.

Once inside, the old man invited them to sit down.

"Here are our treasures, you can have a look."

The old man said, taking a brocade box from the shelf behind.

He placed it on the table and spoke to the two of them.

"Open it and see."

Ning Qi wasn’t in a rush to open it; he let the old man open it for him.

That way, even if there was danger, it wouldn’t affect him.

"Swoosh."

The old man opened it.

A beam of light shone out.

After the light flickered, a treasure tower appeared inside.

But it looked quite ordinary, like a piece of scrap metal.

"Master, he’s mocking us."

The medicine spirit became upset at this sight.

After entering, they were being played with a piece of junk.

"Don’t be angry, sir, this is not an ordinary tower, it’s truly from the Upper Realm."

"But... it has restrictions inside, we cannot unleash it."

Hearing his explanation, the old man hurriedly explained.

"Oh? Let me see."

Ning Qi was intrigued by this.

He stepped forward and picked up the iron tower, feeling it in his hands.

It felt heavy, unlike anything ordinary.

Holding it in his Heavenly Immortal-powered hands, this scrap metal should supposedly bear no weight.

Yet, upon holding it and channeling his power, it still had some heft.

"How is it?"

Xu Qingqiu asked, curious.

"I’m not sure yet; let me try."

Ning Qi shook his head, circulating his immortal power, allowing it to flow into the tower.

As his immortal power surged, the treasure tower experienced a slight tremor.

It finally reacted a little.
