#495 - Chapter 494 You've Asked the Right Person
The Underworld Emperor put down his crossed legs and asked calmly, "What makes you say that?"
Ying Xiu gestured with his eyes towards the file in his hand: "Take a look first!"
The Underworld Emperor leaned forward and carefully flipped through the file in his hand.
A few minutes later, he frowned and threw the file on the table, leaning back into the sofa.
Ying Xiu said with a smile: "009 Wang's ability is very special. All five elements are related to him. It's no exaggeration to say that he has five abilities. The Emperor has seen this, right?"
The Underworld Emperor did not reply.
Ying Xiu was not annoyed, and still had a smile on his face: "Wang's flame is dark red, and Li Chenqiu's flame is dark red. Besides, if I remember correctly... Li Chenqiu has more than one ability, right?"
The Underworld Emperor sneered: "I didn't expect your rusty brain to be so flexible. I really underestimated you. Although what you said makes sense, it's all just your guess and there is no factual basis.
This Wang has the strength of Eleven Forbidden, while Li Chenqiu is currently only a Nine Forbidden Awakened. The difference in strength between the two is so great, how could they be the same person?
Moreover, before this, I went to the Third Division of Antong to find Li Chenqiu. His smile was very natural and could not be Shadow Locust Possession. After all, with his current strength, it is impossible to do it flawlessly."
What the Underworld Emperor said was very decisive, but what he didn't know was that Li Chenqiu, after devouring a wisp of Fu Yuesheng's soul, could achieve flawlessness with Absolute Control.
"Dare to guess boldly, verify carefully. I said this just to ask you to re-verify whether Li Chenqiu of the Third Division of Antong is really Shadow Locust Possession." Ying Xiu picked up the teacup and took a sip.
The Underworld Emperor said lightly: "So what if he is, so what if he isn't? If this Wang is Li Chenqiu, am I going to personally tie him back to Antong Division and tell him that saving Li Ji will destroy the Underworld's plan?"
"I just want you to confirm it."
The Underworld Emperor waved his hand: "There is nothing to confirm. If this Wang intervenes in Li Ji's affairs, then it proves that your guess is correct."
Ying Xiu frowned slightly: "Is it a bit dangerous to use this matter to verify Wang's identity? What if..."
"Don't worry, there will be no danger. Just do what you are supposed to do." The Underworld Emperor turned his head, his deep eyes gazing at the blue sky.
...
The sun scorched the earth, creating waves of heat in the air. Li Chenqiu, wearing a white short sleeve, wiped the sweat from his forehead and stared straight ahead.
Rows of low buildings were tightly packed together, and figures walked among them, making mosquito-like buzzing sounds, which seemed very lively.
This is a gathering place located on the edge of the Sand Sea, and can also be said to be a material supply point.
Although the Sand Sea is extremely dangerous, high risk often means high return.
The fish living in the quicksand have a loess-colored pearl in their bodies. This thing is called Sand Pearl. Grinding it into powder and taking it can beautify the skin, prolong life, and even treat some incurable diseases!
It is very precious, which also leads to a wide demand from the outside world. Even the sand pearl in the body of a First Forbidden fish can be sold for hundreds of thousands of Federal currency!
Driven by interests, more and more people came here, and over time, such a gathering place appeared on the edge of the Sand Sea.
"Finally arrived."
The corners of Li Chenqiu's mouth raised slightly, and he strode forward.
The buildings in the gathering place are very close together, which also leads to the streets not being very wide. Coupled with the large number of people and the presence of stalls on the roadside, Li Chenqiu was soon submerged in the surging crowd shortly after arriving.
"Two First Forbidden sand pearls, 500,000 Federal currency will take them all, cash transactions, no credit!"
"The fleet is recruiting people, 300,000 Federal currency a day, Third Forbidden Destiny Awakened are preferred!"
"Anyone want to go to sea together? 50-50 split of the profits, I am a Fourth Forbidden Ordinary Awakened!"
Waves of shouts came from the street. Li Chenqiu squeezed out of the surging crowd, came to a stall and stopped, squatted down and picked up a loess-colored pearl.
"Brother, a First Forbidden premium sand pearl, if you sincerely want it, I'll sell it to you cheaply!" The originally listless, thin young man quickly sat up and said excitedly.
Li Chenqiu played with the sand pearl for a while and asked curiously, "How much is it?"
The thin young man carefully extended two fingers: "Two hundred thousand... what do you think?"
"This price is reasonable."
Li Chenqiu nodded, and was about to put down the sand pearl to inquire about information from the thin young man when a credit card machine suddenly broke through the wind and stopped just before his eyes.
"Thank you for your support, let's swipe the card!" The thin young man's eyes were eager and he seemed very excited.
Li Chenqiu reached out and pushed the credit card machine away: "You misunderstood, I just said the price is reasonable, I didn't mean to buy it."
Saying that, he put the sand pearl back on the cloth under the thin young man's gaze.
Crack!
That was the sound of a heart breaking.
"You are a..." The thin young man stopped talking, and finally swallowed the curse back into his stomach, waving his hand impatiently at Li Chenqiu: "Hurry up and leave!"
Li Chenqiu smiled slightly: "I have plenty of time, no need to rush."
The thin young man looked speechless, tore off his sun hat and pointed at his nose and cursed: "Are you sick? I think you're an eyesore and I'm telling you to leave. Who cares if you have plenty of time!"
"I want to ask you about some things, I don't know if it's convenient." Li Chenqiu said while putting his hand into his pocket.
"Then you've come to the right person, I'm particularly inconv..."
The thin young man's voice stopped abruptly, his eyes fixed on the bank card that Li Chenqiu handed over.
"100,000 Federal currency, can I ask you about some things?" Li Chenqiu said in a light tone.
His money had already been transferred in batches to different unregistered bank accounts through several rounds of turnover months ago, so he was not worried about being tracked by Antong Division.
The thin young man's Adam's apple rolled slightly, and the gloomy face instantly bloomed with a smile, smiling and taking the bank card: "Then you've come to the right person, when it comes to being well-informed, it's no exaggeration to say that no one on this street can compare to me, Zhao Long!"
"Then I'm very lucky, swipe the card!" Li Chenqiu gestured, and there was no trace of the usual heartache between his eyebrows.
It's not that his stingy personality has changed, but now he doesn't need Federal currency anymore. He can just use his fists to pay for whatever he needs. What's the use of Federal currency?
He can't buy high forbidden awakened beasts, nor can he buy top-level profound artifacts. The billions in his account are almost moldy, and he just can't spend them!
After Zhao Long swiped his card, he stopped setting up a stall and took Li Chenqiu to a fairly quiet restaurant, generously ordering several dishes made with First Forbidden awakened beasts.
"Brother, you must try the Flame Pig Crispy Bones in this restaurant, the taste is absolutely amazing!" Zhao Long stood up and poured a cup of tea for Li Chenqiu, who didn't drink alcohol.
