Qin Yi curiously examined the strange chair the old man was sitting on. Just the two mechanical legs were seven or eight meters long. How did it maintain balance? Moreover, these gears were intricately crafted, interlocking seamlessly, with each one performing its own task.

It was the first time he had seen machinery in this world, technically a machine.

The most crucial part was, the old man was wearing a pair of goggles, with a wooden frame and lenses made of some kind of transparent stone material. But they definitely were goggles.

At this moment, the old man, like an old monkey, jumped directly from the strange chair to in front of Yin Qianqian, his thin face full of excitement, "Fairy Qianqian, why have you come to see me? This is unbelievable, have you accepted my love?"

Qin Yi almost choked on his own saliva, his gaze becoming increasingly strange, playfully looking at Yin Qianqian.

Yin Qianqian's delicate face blushed slightly, glaring at the old man, "Old ragamuffin, stop spouting nonsense here, or I'll smash this broken thing of yours."

The old man was clearly nervous for a moment but still looked at Yin Qianqian affectionately, "Fairy Qianqian, as long as you're happy, you can do whatever you want. Look, this is my invention, the 'Thousand Miles a Day' machine. Just sit on it, move your hands, and you can travel fast."

Yin Qianqian looked at the strange chair with disgust, "With my cultivation, I can cover a hundred meters in one step. Do I need this broken thing?"

"But those Qi Refiners with less cultivation need it. I plan to mass produce it, then sell it to them, maybe I can save enough to marry you."

Qin Yi was full of curiosity, "Senior, may I ask how much you need to save to marry her?"

The old man looked at Qin Yi, seeing that Qin Yi was extremely handsome, he instantly became nervous, "Who are you?"

"Qin Yi."

"Oh, right, I've heard you're challenging the Sin Tower. I know you. What are you doing here? Why are you with Fairy Qianqian?"

Qin Yi was speechless, knowing he was challenging the Sin Tower and still asking why he was here? Is this old man dumb?

Qin Yi smiled, "Senior, don't be nervous, I won't compete with you for Fairy Qianqian, I'm just simply asking how much money you need to marry her."

The old man curled his lips, "Why's it your business? I'm telling you, Fairy Qianqian is mine."

"Hmm, I agree, you two are indeed a match made in heaven."

"Really?" The old man's eyes lit up, happily saying, "I've always thought so, no one but me can match Fairy Qianqian."

Qin Yi smiled widely, "Of course, look at you, handsome and charming, definitely destined to be with Fairy Qianqian, no one is more compatible than you two."

The old man happily looked at Yin Qianqian, "This young man really has a keen eye. Fairy Qianqian, just wait, I will definitely save enough money."

Yin Qianqian was speechless, glaring at Qin Yi, "Stop stirring things up here, or I'll leave you stuck here with just one word."

Qin Yi: "..."

"I'm just curious, how much does it cost to marry you?"

Yin Qianqian opened her mouth, "One hundred billion gold coins."

Qin Yi widened his eyes in shock, blurting out, "A hundred billion, you're really daring. Are you deliberately making it difficult for him, or do you plan to never get married?"

"What kind of talk is that? Fairy Qianqian is priceless, I don't think even a hundred billion is enough," the old man said angrily.

Qin Yi was bewildered, this old man really wasn't in his right mind, Yin Qianqian was clearly making things difficult for him.

"Senior, I'm really curious, how much have you saved now?"

The old man thought for a moment, "About ten billion gold coins."

Qin Yi's mouth dropped open, only wanting to exclaim, "Wow!" Looks can be deceiving; this old man, dressed like a beggar, is insanely rich. He toiled away, swindling and scheming, and hasn't even amassed ten million gold coins yet.

Even if he succeeded in the Sin Tower challenge this time, plus the gold coins stolen from Xiao Jian, he still wouldn't have more than the old man.

Qin Yi was hit hard.

Then, the old man looked at Qin Yi, "Qin Yi, are you here to challenge me?"

Qin Yi nodded slightly.

"Then come on." The old man assumed a stance, saying, "But before we start, can we negotiate a bit?"

"Senior, please speak."

The old man said, "If I win, I won't kill you, but you have to give me the gold coins you won below."

Qin Yi: "..."

The first, second, and third-layer Tower Masters were all defeated by him, and their assets automatically transferred to his name. Although he didn't know how much, Qin Yi estimated it wouldn't be a small amount. He hadn't even seen it yet, and the old man was already eyeing the money.

"Dream on."

The old man thought for a while, "How about splitting half with me?"

"No way, that money was earned with my life on the line."

"Then give me a billion gold coins, is that okay?"

Qin Yi ignored him, thinking this old man was dreaming if he wanted money from him.

The old man was persistent, "Then give me fifty million, how about that? Or ten million is fine too? Five million? How about one hundred as my final offer? Hey, don't push it, isn't your life worth at least a hundred gold coins?"

Qin Yi said, "My life is priceless."

The old man was ecstatic, "You agreed?"

Qin Yi nodded slightly, "I agreed, but the price needs to come down. Ten thousand gold coins, no more."

"Ten thousand? Are you bargaining with a beggar?" The old man was furious, but quickly muttered, "Fine, ten thousand is better than nothing."

Qin Yi was speechless, this old man really had no bottom line when it came to money.

"Senior, how about this, I'll give you twenty thousand gold coins, let's not fight, and you let me go to the seventh level, okay?"

The old man was stunned, looking down, really thinking about it.

"What the heck, not a single gold coin needed, just let Qin Yi go to the seventh level," Yin Qianqian said.

The old man looked at Yin Qianqian, full of distress, "Twenty thousand gold coins, that's one step closer to marrying you."

Yin Qianqian: "..."

"Old ragamuffin, do you dare to go against my words? Are you itching for a beating?"

"I..." The old man looked distressed, looking at Qin Yi with a crying face, "Alright, go ahead then."

Wow...

Qin Yi was speechless, this guy really had no bottom line.

Qin Yi used Divine Thought to message the old man, "In a bit, when your Fairy Qianqian isn't looking, I'll give you the twenty thousand gold coins."

The old man's eyes lit up immediately, looking at Qin Yi gratefully, using sound transmission technique, "You're an honorable person, thank you."

"No need to be polite, it's the least I can do, I wish you to win the beauty soon."

"Haha... When I marry Fairy Qianqian, I'll definitely invite you to the wedding banquet."

Qin Yi laughed, "It's a deal then."

Yin Qianqian glanced at the two of them, "What are you two whispering about with those sly looks? Do you think I'm not here?"
