Li Qian returned to the vicinity of the energy vortex.
According to the young boy, his grandfather had entered the small world with that man to seek fortunes. Since his grandfather obtained a precious Immortal Thunder Bamboo Root, it’s likely the Earth Immortal who had been chasing the boy also got something valuable.
After all, when seeking fortunes together, not finding good stuff can easily lead to conflicts over profit distribution.
So, Li Qian concluded that this man must also have something good on him.
Soon, after searching around the site, Li Qian indeed found that the man was still there.
He observed in secret for a long time, and after the man left, Li Qian followed him all the way.
"Master....."
The Earth Immortal, seeing Li Qian appear before him, shuddered and quickly bowed in respect.
"You should have obtained something good in the small world, right?"
Li Qian asked with a slight smile.
But to the Earth Immortal, this expression seemed sinister and terrifying.
Feigning calm, he replied, "Master, I’m just a small Earth Immortal. How could I possibly get anything good in the small world...."
"But that boy said you have something good on you....."
Li Qian said with a smile.
Fear arose in the Earth Immortal’s heart. The item in the boy’s possession had fallen into this Heavenly Immortal’s hands, and now the target was on him.
He cursed the boy inwardly, resenting him for being robbed and yet selling him out as well.
"Master, please don’t believe the words of that boy, he is framing me on purpose..."
The Earth Immortal quickly explained.
"Rest assured, I won’t resort to robbery. If the item is good, I will offer you a satisfactory price."
Li Qian said calmly.
But how could the Earth Immortal believe him? In the Cultivation World, the strong prey on the weak. Though he may not be at the lowest level, he is still like an ant in front of the upper cultivation forces.
"Master...I really don’t have anything good...."
He said with a mournful face.
"What? You don’t trust my integrity?"
Li Qian’s face darkened.
The Earth Immortal trembled in fear and quickly said, "Master, I didn’t mean that..."
He definitely didn’t trust him.
If he handed over the item, his biggest fear was that he wouldn’t just not be pensated, but might also lose his life.
"So what do you mean? Do you look down on me?"
Li Qian squinted his eyes and asked in a deep voice.
The Earth Immortal felt aggrieved and regretful. If he hadn’t tried to seize the boy’s opportunity, how would he have bee a target?
This was truly a case of losing both wife and soldiers.
He could only obediently take out his storage bag.
"I’m not robbing, just proposing a trade with you."
Li Qian said calmly, not taking the storage bag.
Exploiting the weak and seizing by force were things he never did.
This was considered a transaction...
The Earth Immortal cursed inwardly; this was clearly a robbery disguised under a pretense.... He could only take out the item from the storage bag.
Unexpectedly, it was a stone tablet....
"Oh, it turns out to be an inplete rare book?"
Li Qian showed a surprised expression.
"Master, it is indeed an inplete rare book..."
The Earth Immortal stated honestly.
He knew its value... If auctioned, it could fetch an astonishing price.
Of course, he certainly couldn’t reveal it.
Once revealed...he wouldn’t live to see the sunlight of the next day.
But now... he only hoped that after Li Qian takes the inplete rare book, he would spare his life.
Li Qian took the stone tablet, then gave the Earth Immortal a storage bag and turned to leave.
"He’s... really letting me go?"
The Earth Immortal breathed a sigh of relief.
Though he lost the inplete rare book, at least his life was spared.
As for the storage bag given by the other party, he didn’t expect anything good inside.
But when the Earth Immortal checked the contents of the storage bag, he was stunned.
He checked again carefully, taking a deep breath, and then looked around with a delighted expression.
Although the given items weren’t as valuable as the inplete rare book, he was more than satisfied.
"This master is truly a good person."
The Earth Immortal was full of emotion.
Suddenly, a thought struck him. Since this master was willing to spend such a large amount to exchange for the inplete rare book, the boy must have also got significant benefits.
"You little brat, with so many good things, how can a small Void Immortal like you use them all up without being targeted?"
A cold glint flashed in the Earth Immortal’s eyes as he contemplated finding the boy and taking away his items to make up for the loss of the inplete rare book.
.....
Li Qian, in a secluded place, returned straight to Chenzhong Cave Heaven.
He took out the piece of Immortal Thunder Bamboo Root. Although it was withered, it still concealed a trace of life, indicating a chance to revive it.
If he could revive it, the value of this Immortal Thunder Bamboo Root would increase more than a hundredfold.
Li Qian stroked his chin, "To revive this Immortal Thunder Bamboo Root, I’ll likely need to concoct a special growth-promoting Immortal Liquid..."
But he didn’t know the formula for this type of Immortal Liquid.
"Forget it, let’s try first."
Li Qian began looking for a piece of land inside the Grotto Heaven, preparing the soil by adding various special spirit plant pills, nurturing it with Immortal Energy throughout the meticulous process.
Fortunately, being a Ninth Rank Spirit Plant Master, it wasn’t too challenging for Li Qian.
After more than half a month, he had barely pleted the spirit land developed for the Immortal Thunder Bamboo.
The entire spirit land was covered by an Array to ensure the high concentration of Immortal Energy.
Li Qian planted the Immortal Thunder Bamboo Root into the spirit land and began nurturing it with various Spirit Plant techniques.
Not only that, he also used the sound of the Chen Bell to encourage its growth.
