Chapter 1021: 1021 Selling Expert! (Chapter 4)
Late at night.
Ye Qiu hovered above the courtyard, holding the remaining crystal stones, silently placing them into his storage bag.
“I wonder if it will succeed this ti…” Ye Qiu murmured to himself, then began to activate the array he had just laid down. The courtyard beneath him started to beco faint and indistinct and vanished within two breaths.
It hadn’t truly disappeared; Ye Qiu used formation techniques to hide the courtyard, creating a re illusion.
This was just the simplest formation, a type of grand array called a “deceptive barrier,” designed to deceive others’ eyes to achieve the purpose of hiding and disappearing.
Previously, Ye Qiu could make the divine realm martial artist keep circling in the sky because of the formation. Ye Qiu had activated an array within the courtyard, perfectly encapsulating him, preventing him from escaping.
These days, Ye Qiu studied formations, and naturally didn’t just work behind closed doors but needed to experint himself. Every night when it was quiet, he would test his research results.
The formation that trapped the divine realm martial artist was Ye Qiu’s latest achievent, called the “Heaven Locking Array.” Although its na was powerful, the range it could lock was not large, and with Ye Qiu’s current formation skill, being able to lock within a five-zhang radius was already the limit.
Studying formations was an extravagant practice because every formation required energy stones to set up.
Ye Qiu didn’t have energy stones and could only use crystal stones as a substitute. Of course, the effect was basically the sa.
Just setting up a Heaven Locking Array consud ten top-grade crystal stones, showing how extravagant it was.
And that’s just Ye Qiu. If it were soone else, even if they understood formations, they might not be able to produce so many crystal stones.
A small array alone consud ten top-grade crystal stones. If setting up one of those super-grand arrays, the number of crystal stones required would be unimaginable. Ye Qiu even thought that the dozens of thousands of jin of crystal stones he had might not be enough.
“Although formations require a considerable amount of crystal stones, currently, I can still afford the consumption.”
“However, the power of the formation is indeed impressive. A small array can trap a divine realm, even if it costs ten crystals, it’s worth it.”
Ye Qiu was rather satisfied with the formation he laid down, as his first display could trap a divine realm, marking a considerable initial success.
Both the five maids and Jin Shanshun found Ye Qiu increasingly hard to fathom, because each ti, Ye Qiu would surprise everyone.
Whether it was the crystal stone pills previously or this ti’s formation, it made following such a young master not only interesting but also enviable.
Ye Qiu once more perford a formation technique to close the grand array, and the courtyard appeared again.
After finishing all this, Ye Qiu returned to his room as if nothing had happened.
The next day, soone spoke out for Ye Qiu, saying that Ye Qiu hadn’t acquired any treasures, and not to be used and beco a tool in soone else’s hands.
This statent made many people cautious, and they thought of many things. Actually, it wasn’t wrong, since Ye Qiu wasn’t the only one who returned safely from Barbaric Wilderness Forest; several other ancient clan mbers did too.
Although Ye Qiu seed to be alone and made a joke about one person being a clan, one shouldn’t underestimate him. After all, he has a close relationship with Yun Shang Palace, and he himself is a martial arts prodigy whose future achievents are unlimited. Striking against him now could lead to inevitable retaliation in the future.
When this ssage returned to the courtyard, Jin’er and others were surprised, as it was just as Ye Qiu had predicted, with soone coming forward to speak for him.
Shui’er whispered if it was really the divine realm martial artist she had kicked a few tis yesterday?
Thinking about this made Shui’er a bit worried, fearing that he might co for revenge, frightened her little face into a purple hue.
Ye Qiu laughed, “Don’t worry, he won’t do that, unless he wants to experience being a headless fly again.”
Hearing this, Shui’er laughed.
…
“Clan Leader, soone has spoken out on behalf of that rogue, disrupting our plans, how should we handle this?”
“Kill.”
“Understood.”
Within a day, the martial artist who spoke out disappeared without a trace, and discussions about Ye Qiu began again, urging many people to take action against Ye Qiu to seize the treasures on him.
Ye Qiu sat on the stone chair in the courtyard, with Jin’er occasionally feeding him a grape.
“Young Master, this is already the third one,” Jin’er said.
Ye Qiu laughed, “I want to see how many more people want to make a move on . This ti, no matter how many co, I will let them co but not leave.”
Jin’er felt a chill in her heart, hearing the killing intent in Ye Qiu’s words. Previously, Ye Qiu was rciful and didn’t harm anyone, but now these people continue to plot against him, and Ye Qiu isn’t prepared to be rciful anymore, otherwise, it would be cruel to himself.
All martial artists who ca to attack at night, without exception, entered into the formation, with Ye Qiu continuously consuming crystal stones, maintaining the formation, so that whoever entered was trapped.
At this mont, he hoped more people would co. Although Ye Qiu doesn’t like to provoke others, he also isn’t afraid of them. If they want to seize treasures from him, he doesn’t mind the reverse, extracting other things from them.
As ti went on, many martial artists who went to the courtyard didn’t reappear, gradually drawing others’ attention.
“Why hasn’t our clan leader returned, is there an incident?”
“Perhaps we should go to that rogue’s place and take a look, feels like sothing bad might have happened.”
Before long, a crowd gathered in front of Ye Qiu’s courtyard, but no one moved forward.
Because under everyone’s gaze, not just one person disappeared without a sound after entering, as if they never existed, vanishing silently.
“This courtyard is strange, like a beast, swallowing people.” Soone thus described Ye Qiu’s residence.
“What’s really weird, so many people went in, but there’s not even a sound.”
Many were puzzled, the increasingly mysterious courtyard beca daunting, with nobody wanting to seize Ye Qiu’s treasures now; more wanted to understand what was happening. Did those who ca disappear? Were they alive?
Finally, the courtyard’s gate opened.
Shi Da, Shi Er, and others carried out several human-shaped black bags, with a note attached.
On them was written: Selling divine realm martial artist, this person, five hundred third-grade crystal stones.
“This is…”
Many people were stunned by this scene. What a spectacle, selling experts?
And even clearly priced.
When soone ca closer to identify the divine expert, they suddenly found it was their ancient clan’s missing leader, instantly dumbstruck.
Their clan leader being priced by the seller at five hundred crystal stones!
But this scene hadn’t ended; several more black bags were soon carried out, all with price tags attached.
The crowd was animated, soone ventured into the courtyard, negotiating to pay fewer crystal stones to redeem their experts.
And such matters couldn’t be conducted openly; otherwise, if other ancient clans knew, buying back their clan leader would be utterly embarrassing.
“No bargaining, all fixed price, if you can’t pay, please leave.” Seeing a few trying to buy at a lower price, Shi Da directly refused, unconcerned with these ancient clan’s faces.
Many had flushed faces but could only acquiesce, paying crystal stones to redeem their clan leaders.
