Boarding Life

Qin Qi, naturally not doubting the mysterious woman’s words, almost without hesitation, shook his head immediately and said, "I’m afraid I won’t be able to comply with that request!"

Duan Changfeng was suddenly taken aback.

Earlier looking at Qin Qi, it was clearly a sign of being deeply moved, so why the sudden refusal again?

After pondering for a moment, Duan Changfeng directly said, "Little friend, do you feel there’s anything inappropriate?"

Qin Qi explained, "As I mentioned just now, this ice sculpture, with my current strength, it might take three to five years to melt."

"Even if I have the intention to agree, it’s impossible for me to spend all my time here every day!"

Upon hearing this, Duan Changfeng was nonchalant.

He slowly said, "Your concerns are quite reasonable. Nonetheless, melting this ice sculpture is not a matter of urgency, it can be done gradually!"

"Gradually?" Qin Qi became curious, knowing there must be more to follow.

Duan Changfeng sincerely said, "Little friend, at present, melting this Nine Nether Cold Crystal is beyond your capabilities, but if your cultivation improves later and reaches the Core Formation Stage, the efficiency of melting this Nine Nether Cold Crystal should increase severalfold!"

"By then, you can come back to melt it. Our commerce requires just a commitment from you!"

Hearing this, Qin Qi found this deal extremely worthwhile.

After all, it’s merely a commitment.

Once my cultivation reaches the Core Formation Stage, I can return to help them with this Nine Nether Cold Crystal!,

Thus, obtaining an invaluable cultivation material worth eighty thousand for no reason.

However, the mysterious woman did not speak.

Qin Qi naturally understood the significance of it, hesitatingly shook his head, "I’m really not confident about things I’m unsure of, thus daring not to make a promise hastily to senior!"

Duan Changfeng’s mouth twitched.

Unable to induce this young man to agree?

Could it be that this lad really sees through the precious nature of the Nine Nether Cold Crystal? Surely not the match of our commerce’s treasures?

Duan Changfeng slowly said, "How about this, I let you freely take away two treasures from our commerce, how about it?"

Qin Qi’s heartbeat increased.

He nearly agreed.

Yet the mysterious woman suddenly said, "Just with these little things, do you think you can retrieve the Black Armored Tortoise for him? Tell him about the ’inner treasury’ matter, if he is willing to let you pick any item from the inner treasury, it wouldn’t be too late to agree!!"

"Inner treasury?" Qin Qi blankly said.

The mysterious woman lazily said, "Do you really think what’s outside are all the good things at Xingyuan Commerce?"

"Those are merely for show, Xingyuan Commerce also has an inner treasury, which is not open to the public usually. Only when dignitaries’ experts arrive, is it shown!"

"The real valuable treasures are stored inside here, far beyond those from outside!"

Qin Qi inquired, "Will he really let us choose from the valuables here?"

"Rest assured, though the inner treasury’s items are quite precious, they are nowhere near as valuable as the Black Armored Tortoise. That Duan Changfeng knows this clearly!" The mysterious woman continued.

Qin Qi was still not entirely reassured, "But rejecting a Nascent Soul Stage expert like this, won’t infuriate him?"

"Nobody dares act rashly in public in Feiliu City. Moreover, he does business, he’s a commerce head, really want to cause trouble, can he still conduct business?" The mysterious woman confidently replied.

Seeing her as such, Qin Qi felt assured.

With Qin Qi still in silence, Duan Changfeng had to say, "Little friend Qin Qi, if you have any needs, or desires, feel free to speak!"

"This guild head will naturally do everything possible to satisfy you. As long as you agree to retrieve this Black Armored Tortoise for me!"

Seeing this, Qin Qi hesitated no longer and said, "I heard your commerce has an inner treasury. This is where the real treasures of your commerce are stored!"

Duan Changfeng heard this and was stunned.

He obviously didn’t expect that Qin Qi would even know about the inner treasury!

Eyes widened slightly, voice carried a touch of seriousness, "Little friend plans to aim at our inner treasury then, but don’t you think it’s a bit too presumptuous?"

"The Black Armored Tortoise is indeed precious, but I have no reason to open the inner treasury just for this and let you select at will, right?"

Qin Qi hearing this, laughed, "Guild Head Duan wouldn’t think with my shallow cultivation, I am easily fooled, right!"

"The weight of the Black Armored Tortoise and the treasures within the inner treasury, Guild Head Duan knows best!"

"If Guild Head Duan truly thinks I’m too bold, then I think it’s best not to do this deal!"

Such words fell on ears.

Duan Changfeng was completely dumbfounded.

This lad even knows the preciousness of the Black Armored Tortoise?

Mind you, this Nine Nether Cold Crystal put outside, openly melted, is precisely because not many understand the weight of the Black Armored Tortoise!

Yet this young man, not only can clearly describe the weight of the Black Armored Tortoise but even knows that the treasures from the inner treasury are not as valuable!

He gave a deep look, became more curious about Qin Qi’s origins.

But on the surface, he immediately adjusted his previous attitude, heartily laughed out loud, "Haha, little friend is joking around. We were just joking before!"

"How about this, I’ll let you freely select one item from the inner treasury. But, it must be after you successfully melt this Nine Nether Cold Crystal for our commerce in the future!"

Qin Qi continued, "And I want to take another item from the commerce’s exterior. Of course, as a condition, I can swear with my Heart Demon!"

"Supposing one day my cultivation is sufficient, I will surely return to your commerce to dissolve this Nine Nether Cold Crystal!"

Duan Changfeng’s mouth twitched.

This lad certainly is meticulous!

However, considering the situation, he naturally saw no further reason to waste time, "Fine, everything as little friend said!"

A moment of tea’s time passes.

Look outside Xingyuan Commerce once again.

Huang Wanshan and Luo Yanran standing together.

The latter evidently had a heavy expression, eyes full of worry. Seemed to fear Qin Qi would suffer losses negotiating with Duan Changfeng.

Just at this moment!

Qin Qi and Duan Changfeng came out together.

Upon seeing Qin Qi, Luo Yanran was visibly delighted, quickly approached, "Qin Qi..."

Qin Qi naturally saw the worry in Luo Yanran’s eyes, smiling reassuringly, "No worries!"

Duan Changfeng waved his hand widely, "Someone, bring the Thousand Thunder Vine to give to little friend Qin Qi!"

The subordinates naturally complied dutifully.

In no time at all, the item worth a full eighty thousand Spirit Stones, the Thousand Thunder Vine, was directly handed by the subordinates into Qin Qi’s hand.
