Chapter 882 Long Time No See!
"You guys, hurry up and put those things away."
"We can't let it interfere with tomorrow morning's grand opening ceremony!"
"And you guys standing over there, please hurry up! I always have to remind you!"
"Hurry up!"
"Isn't it just that the world has changed its appearance?!"
"What's so surprising?"
"Oh~!"
In a merchant guild building in Cangyun City on the Chongming Continent, Ji Qian was directing the guild's maids to organize goods and prepare for the upcoming grand opening ceremony of the Cangyun City Treasure Seeker's Shop. The entire guild was bustling with activity.
Cangyun City was originally Shenwu City, but after the Divine Cult was completely eradicated, the city was renamed.
Because Cangyun City has a teleportation array leading to the Illusionary Demon Continent, it has become the most important city on the Chongming Continent, attracting many cultivators from the Illusionary Demon Sealing Heaven.
Therefore, the Treasure Seekers, now the number one merchant guild in the Chongming Continent, would naturally not miss this opportunity.
Logically speaking, Ji Qian should be happy about the grand opening ceremony of the Mibaozhai Chamber of Commerce, but for some reason he felt weak all over and empty inside.
It seemed that only by keeping busy could he escape this feeling, which is why he kept directing the merchant guild maids to work and organize the goods together.
But actually... the goods in the chamber of commerce had already been mostly sorted out.
As soon as he stopped, that empty feeling in his heart resurfaced, causing Ji Qian to slump into a grand chair and sigh.
But the next moment!
Swish!
A figure appeared out of nowhere in front of him, startling him!
With a loud "bang!"
Ji Qian and the armchair fell backward.
"Who, who, who!"
"Who...who dares to frighten this old man like this!"
However, before Ji Qian could even get up, he immediately heard a familiar voice that he hadn't heard in a long time.
"Professor Ji, it's been a long time!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Qian's cloudy old eyes widened instantly, and he quickly got up from the ground. However, he was too short, so he could only look up. Then he jumped up happily!
"Ha ha!"
"Lin... Lin kid, it's you!"
"What brings you here? Quick, quick... sit down! Sit down!"
"Xiao Juan, quickly go and pour a pot of tea!"
Upon recognizing Lin Que as the visitor, Ji Qian was overjoyed. He quickly pulled up a chair and invited Lin Que to sit down, instructing a maid to prepare tea. He paid no attention to how Lin Que had appeared.
But the maids inside the merchant guild were different; they were already stunned by what they had just witnessed!
Fortunately, they still maintained their composure, and after hearing Ji Qian's instructions, they quickly came to their senses and went to the next room to prepare.
However, upon seeing this, Lin Que waved his hand and said, "Elder Ji, there's no need to go to such trouble."
"I'll be leaving soon."
"Then, Lin boy, what brings you to this old man's place..." Upon hearing this, Ji Qian immediately showed a hint of doubt.
"Of course, I've come to give you a surprise, Mr. Ji."
"Uh...surprise?"
Lin Que smiled but didn't speak. He simply raised his arm and waved it, and in an instant, the five-colored spiritual seal on his arm flashed with a dazzling light that illuminated the entire Chamber of Commerce building.
Fortunately, the Chamber of Commerce had not yet opened, so the doors of the pavilions were closed, preventing the radiant glow from being seen by the cultivators coming and going outside. Otherwise, they might have thought that some treasure had appeared in the world.
As the glow of dawn gradually faded, Ji Qian opened his eyes, but was instantly stunned!
"Grandpa...Grandpa?"
A long-lost call rang out, causing Ji Qian's short, hunched body to tremble violently, and tears of excitement flowed from his cloudy eyes!
The reason was that standing before him at that moment was a graceful and beautiful girl dressed in a colorful robe, someone he recognized so well...
"Xiao...Xiaorou!!!"
In an instant, after staggering, Ji Qian's old, withered hands tightly grasped the girl's delicate hand, as if afraid she would leave again.
"Great, it's good that you're back!"
"Over the years, Grandpa has so much to say to you..."
Soon, the two granddaughters seemed to have so much to say to each other, and although they were both in tears, they were extremely happy!
Seeing this, Lin Que did not disturb them. Instead, he smiled faintly and then disappeared silently once again.
"Ha ha!"
"Young Lin, this time this old man... wait?!"
"What about people?!"
......
In the Illusionary Demon Continent, in a remote mountain range unknown to the outside world, there exists a hidden spirit stone vein.
Furthermore, whether to prevent demon cultivators from finding out, or for some other reason, this spirit stone mine was actually concealed by a huge illusion array, so that even cultivators occasionally flying overhead could not detect it.
"hurry up!"
"You guys, can't you be a little more energetic?!"
"We've only dug up this few spirit stones today. At this rate, when am I ever going to be able to buy the Spirit Treasure Sect's latest new energy flying boat?!"
"Although I don't know what a new energy flying boat is either."
"But... damn it, pull yourself together and keep digging!"
"No one is allowed to eat today if we don't dig up at least one hundred spirit stones!!!"
In one of the mines, a human cultivator was scolding some low-level demon cultivators, leaving them angry but unable to speak out. This was because the human cultivator was at the Nascent Soul stage, while the highest level among them was only at the peak of the Life Sea stage.
At first, they just wanted to find a job to make a living and earn some spirit stones for cultivation. Who knew they would be tricked into coming here by this cultivator?
At first, the monk greeted people with a smile, giving them a very warm feeling, and introduced that the Myanmar shell mine here was the most conscientious mine!
Not only did he pat his chest and guarantee that he would treat everyone honestly, young and old alike, but he also promised that on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, the madam of the zoo would bring her courtesans here for team building activities.
On the 2nd, 4th, and 6th, elders and disciples from the Medicine King Valley's branch in the Illusionary Demon Continent would come to provide free medical consultations.
As for the end of the day, everyone will have a day off!
Upon hearing these conditions, those inexperienced low-level demon cultivators could hardly resist and were immediately moved!
But to their surprise, the man's expression changed instantly after they entered, making them realize that they had been tricked and exploited.
But who can be blamed for this? They were blinded by lust.
"Haha, this kind of scam is still effective!"
"Brother Lin, even though you tricked me."
"But...I miss you!!!"
"Brother Lin, what are you doing... Holy crap!!!"
As a figure appeared out of thin air, the human cultivator who was leisurely lying on the armchair eating spiritual fruit was startled!
"Oh my! Brother Chen, it's been so long!"
"You made it so hard for me to find you!"
The moment Lin Que saw this person, he immediately grinned, revealing a set of pearly white teeth!
"Holy crap!"
"You, you, you're either a human or a ghost!"
"How the hell did you find me, you son of a bitch!"
"I've already hidden so deep, you son of a bitch!!!"
Suddenly sprang to his feet, Luo Laolai stared in terror at the person who had appeared before him. He tried to point at him but found his body trembling uncontrollably!
"Hey~! No, Brother Chen, how could you swear at me?" Lin Que said with a grin, "Didn't you just say you missed me? Brother Chen, that's a bit unfair of you."
Upon hearing this, Luo Laolai stopped replying and immediately ran out of the mine.
But the next moment!
"Certainly!"
As soon as the words were spoken, Luo Laolai, who had originally wanted to escape, was horrified to find that he could no longer move!
This scene left all the demon cultivators who were still mining spirit ore dumbfounded, not understanding what had happened.
"Gentlemen, you are free!"
"If you are interested, you can go to the Fengtian Continent and find a person named 'Xu Fu'. He will arrange work for you."
After saying these words to the group of demon cultivators, Lin Que smiled and slowly walked to Luo Laolai, who looked terrified. He reached out and grabbed him, saying, "Alright, Brother Chen, come with me."
"After all, you should always keep your promises, don't you think?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Que grabbed Luo Laolai and disappeared from the spot...
