Capítulo 1190: Chapter 529: The World Is Complicated_3
Subsequently, a piece of insider information began circulating.
“During the training camp, anyone who performs excellently will have the opportunity to enter an Abyss to seek out fragments of special weapons, which can be temporarily possessed.”
As soon as this rumor spread, Sky City was in an uproar, and many people were extremely shaken inside.
“Weapons that even Earth Immortals envy are now being given out, and we have a chance to obtain them?” The crowd could hardly believe it.
“Everything is for the upcoming great war, and they are only temporarily given out, most likely intended for the True God. However, the younger generation, perhaps a few special individuals needing protection, will be granted them.”
However, the Golden List quickly responded: “Obtained by fate!”
Even it cannot intervene.
All those weapons have issues; they’ve been dormant for too long, and the artifact spirits have eroded and revived more than once. Outsiders are unaware of these items’ “Magic.”
Unless those weapons awaken voluntarily and encounter someone destined, no one can wield them.
Countless people were excited, all eager to try. Who wouldn’t want to be the destined one? Many believed themselves to be special and capable of gaining recognition.
Zhexian Tower, a tavern overlooking the entire bustling area, Qin Ming arrived there upon invitation and met an elder with a head full of silver hair at the twenty-first floor in a private room.
At first glance, the other party tried to appear polite, but there was an underlying assertiveness in his demeanor.
“I am Xie Muzhe, from Star Mountain,” he said succinctly, then took out a contract and said, “Take a look, if suitable, just sign it.”
Qin Ming frowned; this Grandmaster was indeed direct.
“Senior, isn’t this too fast?” Bai Meng asked, wasn’t this somewhat coercive?
This time, both he and Pei Shuyan had the opportunity to be involved.
“I wasn’t talking to you,” Xie Muzhe glanced at him lightly, immediately suppressing Bai Meng to the point he couldn’t move or open his mouth.
“Senior…” Pei Shuyan spoke up, wanting to mediate the situation.
As a result, he too felt overwhelming pressure as Xie Muzhe glanced at him.
Initially, Qin Ming thought this Grandmaster had a straightforward character and didn’t like long speeches. But now, he believed the other party was purely overly domineering.
He said, “Senior Xie, they are my friends.”
He was invited here for a discussion, yet Bai Meng who spoke for him got suppressed. What kind of nonsense was this? It was disrespectful to him and them.
Xie Muzhe withdrew the Grandmaster Domain, and Bai Meng was immediately free to move again.
Qin Ming gestured for Bai Meng not to speak.
He quickly scanned the contract, and instantly felt unhappy; was this a slave contract? It either involved Magic Chains or required serving Star Mountain for five hundred years after signing.
And what he could gain in return was unclear. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
In another setting, Qin Ming might have slapped him.
Qin Ming said, “Senior Xie, I’m sorry, I cannot sign this contract.”
Xie Muzhe said, “You should think it over, missing out on Star Mountain would be a major loss for you, immeasurable.”
Qin Ming put down the contract, thinking that being treated like a beast of burden, refusing it meant incalculable loss to himself?
Xie Muzhe looked at him and said, “I understand your rebirth system; this path is difficult. Now, Star Mountain offers you an excellent opportunity to transform you into an Immortal Body Refiner, don’t you treasure it? It involves treasure medicine and top True Scripture. In life, it is rare to encounter a chance to change one’s fate; it depends on whether you grasp it.”
Qin Ming realized that if he signed such a contract, he would truly lose control over his own destiny.
Hence, he firmly shook his head, even if it wasn’t courteous and might displease the other party, leaving them under no illusion that he could ever agree to this matter.
Xie Muzhe gazed at Qin Ming calmly and said solemnly, “The world is complex, you are an adult, you must be responsible for your words and actions, think it through.”
Was this a hint or a threat? Qin Ming met his gaze and said, “The senior formed by the Golden List once told us to act according to our true intentions.”
Xie Muzhe scrutinized him and said lightly, “I did not intimidate you, as long as you don’t regret it. Think it over, ponder it for yourself, for your future, for your family and friends. Star Mountain is powerful enough to elevate you and those around you.”
Qin Ming calmly responded, “I come from Black and White Mountain, someone around me is familiar to you, none other than the former Beast God, now the Sword Immortal!”
Xie Muzhe stared at him and said coldly, “Make sure you’ve thought it through!”
The evening gathering was doomed to end unhappily.
The dishes had not been ordered, no one touched the tea, and Xie Muzhe rose to leave. As he was about to push the door, he took a deep look back at Qin Ming.
“Squeeze… the clay.” Bai Meng said angrily, shouting that Tai Xu is unafraid of the Old Mountain above.
Qin Ming gestured with his hand, “No need to be angry, come, let’s order some dishes and taste the specialties of Sky City.”
Since the other party claimed the world is complex and adults must be accountable for their words and actions, time will tell and the truth will eventually be revealed.
“Brother Qin, this is too extravagant, this is flood dragon meat. Although it’s a great tonic, it’s staggeringly expensive!” Pei Shuyan was astonished.
“No need to be polite; my finances are a bit more flexible recently,” Qin Ming laughed. Having just returned from the Otherworld, although his main haul was Big Medicine and Exotic Gold, the storage bracelets of several Grandmasters contained plenty of Day Gold.
That night, the three feasted thoroughly, sweeping away the previous dissatisfaction and ultimately returning satisfied.
The next day, the Golden List opened a massive Abyss, deep within the Night Fog Sea, with no restrictions, allowing everyone to attempt to awaken the broken mysterious weapons.
“Wow, so soon, Xiao Jinye has dashed out wearing Liquid Armor, his body flying skyward, capable of unleashing terrifying Divine Power. It’s terrifying. He is the grandson of the Old Barbarian God, could there be some dark dealings?”
“Don’t talk nonsense, everything depends on ‘fate.’ Word is that another succeeded today, without a powerful background, moreover, he is a… weakling!”
This immediately triggered a sensation, from Earth Immortal level old monsters to young Disciples, everyone was excited, all wanting to strike it lucky with great “fate.”
Qin Ming also arrived with mixed feelings, seizing the opportunity to access the special Liquid Weapons, something he had long been coveting.
“I suspect he’ll get nothing,” said Xie Muzhe, the Star Mountain Grandmaster, standing far away, who also participated in the training camp and only met Qin Ming in town at night.
The people around him were naturally Grandmasters.
Someone first looked surprised, then understood and laughed, “Are you so sure?”
Xie Muzhe remained indifferent and said, “Of course, he is destined to gain nothing. If you don’t believe it, we can have a small bet for entertainment.”
In the Night Fog Sea, the Abyss was vast and boundless, like a prehistoric giant beast opening its mouth wide, ready to swallow the world.
As Qin Ming approached, he began to resonate, unwilling to miss any valuable clues.
“You… have finally arrived…” Suddenly, he heard such a voice at his ear, seeming to originate from the deepest part of the Abyss.
Finally, it’s back to normal update timings. Calling for the minimum guaranteed monthly tickets, thanks to all Book Friends.
