Within the silent Trading Hall, Li Xiandao and Jin Jiu stood opposite one another. The sunlight cast long shadows of both of them.
Li Xiandao looked at Jin Jiu and then walked to his seat, “Your Master told you to find me?”
Jin Jiu nodded, “Master said that you can help us.”
“Sit down and speak slowly.” Li Xiandao reached out and invited.
Jin Jiu listened and sat down but he still looked at Li Xiandao anxiously.
“Is your Master in trouble?” Li Xiandao asked.
“My Master is trapped in the college.” When Jin Jiu talked about it, he started to become really anxious.
“College?” Li Xiandao looked at Jin Jiu in confusion.
“Celestial College, in Heaven Sky it is a top faction. The college develops many talents each generation and the college dean is the most intellectual person in Heaven Sky.” Jin Jiu was really anxious and clearly said the message.
“Celestial College has trapped Lady Ah Qing?” Li Xiandao didn’t understand. The two factions shouldn’t have any relation with one another.
“Why?” Li Xiandao asked.
“Master doesn’t want to ascend but they are forcing her to.” Jin Jiu gritted her teeth.
Li Xiandao frowned, “Why are they forcing her to ascend?”
Lady Ah Qing had failed to ascend because her mentality hadn’t reached the level required. She reached the final level but still failed.
But even then, she still had top talent and strength.
When the Celestial Gate was closed, there weren’t many who succeeded in ascending. Lady Ah Qing reached the final stage and nearly did it.
It was not because she was not strong but because she had regret in her heart.
If she didn’t overcome this regret, she wouldn’t be able to ascend.
Her strength had long reached the limit. As long as she fulfilled her regrets she could ascend at any time.
She still had over 90 years of time, more than enough to improve herself.
So, she wasn’t in a rush to ascend.
But now, Celestial College was forcing her to ascend. They even locked her up. What was the reason?
Jin Jiu gritted her teeth, “I don’t know the exact situation but others said that they want Master to open up the Celestial and Mortal Pathway to show them how difficult it was to ascend.”
Li Xiandao frowned. They wanted Lady Ah Qing to test out the strength of the heaven tribulation for them.
“Can’t they wait?” Li Xiandao asked.
“No. They are all really fierce and force my Master to ascend within three months.” Jin Jiu shook his head.
“Why did your Master go to Celestial College?” Li Xiandao asked curiously.
“Because she studied there in the past and she was invited back. Who knew that such a thing would happen? What nonsense Celestial College… They are just a bunch of fake people, forcing a girl to ascend.” Jin Jiu was furious.
Li Xiandao roughly understood what was going on.
But he still had to understand some details.
“Your Master gave you the watch?” Li Xiandao continued to ask.
“Right, when my Master was locked up, she told the Celestial College to let me out. She gave me a watch and told me to crush it when I was in danger. She said I would find the Master of the Bank of the Universe and trade with him to save my life.” Jin Jiu said honestly.
“So, are you in danger?” Li Xiandao asked.
“No, but I am also imprisoned in a small courtyard in Celestial College and can’t head out. I had no choice but to shatter the watch and come here.” Jin Jiu shook his head.
“This is Bank of the Universe. We can trade anything. Tell me what you would like to trade.” Li Xiandao said calmly.
“I want you to save my Master.” Jin Jiu said without hesitation.
Li Xiandao nodded. As expected, he couldn’t save a person without compensation.
“What price can you pay for you to save my Master?” Li Xiandao asked.
Li Xiandao was indebted to Ah Qing, so Li Xiandao would save her.
But he would do so in his personal capacity.
Now that Jin Jiu shattered the watch and came to the Bank of the Universe to tell Li Xiandao to save his Master…
This was work!
In terms of work, Li Xiandao wouldn’t give leeway. He would charge as much as it was worth. So, Li Xiandao was looking at Jin Jiu with a calm expression.
Li Xiandao also decided that even if Jin Jiu couldn’t pay a price and the trade didn’t go through.
He would save Ah Qing as a friend.
That was he himself and not the Bank of the Universe.
This wasn’t greed. But Li Xiandao was being professional.
Jin Jiu looked at Li Xiandao and asked, “What do you need to save my Master?”
“The price is different for different people. Your Master is trapped within a top faction. To save her you have to pay a lot. So, if you can’t take out huge amounts of treasures, I can’t agree.” Li Xiandao said.
“Is an Ancient Demon’s treasure enough?” Jin Jiu said solemnly.
“Ancient Demon’s treasure?” Li Xiandao’s brow rose up. He was shocked that such a black and thin kid actually had an Ancient Demon’s treasure.
“My grandfather left it for me. He went deep into the abyss and the demon world to notice the treasure. But he wasn’t able to take it and drew a map which he gave to me.” Jin Jiu collected his thoughts and told Li Xiandao about the background of the treasure.
“Your grandfather went deep into the abyss?” Li Xiandao asked.
“Right, my grandfather was from the same era as Master. My Master was my grandfather’s senior. My grandfather died two months ago and before he died, he passed me to her.” Jin Jiu gritted his teeth. No matter what price he had to pay, he had to save his Master.
“Where is the map?” Li Xiandao reached out.
“Here.” Jin Jiu passed a piece of leather that was soaked in butter to Li Xiandao.
On it, there was a clear map and the destination was the Ancient Demon’s treasure.
“How is it, can you save my Master with this?” Jin Jiu asked anxiously.
Li Xiandao looked at the map and was in deep thought.
He didn’t know how many treasures were in this place. Logically speaking, Li Xiandao should have rejected it.
But looking Jin Jiu’s anticipation and also the fact that it was bad luck if he failed his first two guests in Heaven Sky.
Moreover, if there was a huge gain from the Ancient Demon treasure, then Li Xiandao’s deal would be a huge win.
So, Li Xiandao pointed and said, “Seven, prepare the contract and let him sign it.”
Seven passed the prepared contract to Li Xiandao.
Li Xiandao took a look. No problem. He placed it on the table and then pushed it to Jin Jiu…
“Sign it, sign it and I will save your Master.” Li Xiandao said calmly.
“Okay.” Jin Jiu looked at the contract carefully and realized that it was written that he had to save his Master. He calmed down and signed it right away.
