Chapter 211: Chapter 152: Finally Obtaining the Spiritual Artifact, Qiankun Qi Bag

“This young man, he’s from the Wei Mansion?”

Watching Lu Qing’s retreating figure, everyone’s face was full of surprise.

They had not expected his background to be so significant.

After their surprise, they looked at the mustached man who had fainted with delight in their eyes.

This Chen Chailang usually bullied and swindled in the workshops, relying on his uncle who worked at the County Lord Mansion.

Now that he had offended someone from the Wei Mansion, let’s see if he could still be so arrogant in the future.

...
You have to understand, most families and powers in the city have to show three points of respect towards the County Lord Mansion.

But there was one exception, and that was the Wei Mansion.

Wei Mansion didn’t have to be wary of the County Lord Mansion, on the contrary, the County Lord Mansion had to yield three points to the Wei Mansion in everything.

In front of the Wei Mansion, what was his uncle who worked there? Even the Lord County Master had to be polite.

“What’s happened here, the County Lord Mansion is handling matters, move aside quickly!”

Just as everyone was happily taking misfortune for pleasure, a series of shouting voices came over, as several county retainers in their uniforms, led by the two previous shop assistants, ran towards them.

It turns out that these two had disappeared earlier to find reinforcements.

Among the retainers, people recognized Chen Chailang’s uncle, Wang Yi.

Despite showing disdain, they still gave way.

“Brother-in-law!”

When Wang Yi saw the sorry state of his brother-in-law, he could hardly believe his eyes.

Half of his face was swollen like a pig’s head, which was shocking to look at.

“Who dares to hurt people recklessly in the workshops, this is blatant contempt for the County Lord Mansion’s laws, come out at once!” Wang Yi roared in anger and grief.

Around him, there was dead silence; no one spoke up.

“Fine, no one will talk, huh? Then take everyone back and interrogate them one by one, I refuse to believe no one will confess!” Wang Yi shouted loudly.

His companions who had come with him were startled and hurriedly stepped forward to urge him in a low voice, “Brother Wang, calm down. Arresting so many people, if it really escalates, neither you nor I can handle it.”

The people around heard that Wang Yi wanted to crazily arrest everyone.

Beyond their fear, they also couldn’t help feeling a surge of indignation.

Someone immediately shouted, “What does this have to do with us? The person who hit your brother-in-law has already named his household; he said he was from the Wei Mansion and named himself Lu Qing; if you have the guts, go find him. What kind of ability is it to bully us?”

“What, someone from the Wei Mansion?!”

Wang Yi’s heart suddenly felt as though it had been doused with cold water, and he shivered all over.

His companions were even more startled and quickly asked, “Are you telling the truth, that man claimed to be from the Wei Mansion?”

“Why would I lie to you? That young man is dressed in fine clothes and carries an extraordinary aura; it’s clear he’s not from an ordinary family. Even if he isn’t from the Wei Mansion, he must come from an exceptional background. Wang Yi, if you don’t believe me, go to the Wei Mansion and ask for yourself; don’t wrong a good person here!”

The shop owner who spoke was clearly ready to stake everything, his speech laden with sarcasm.

Wang Yi’s face turned ashen, his fists clenched tight, and he couldn’t speak.

Seeing the bad turn of events, a companion stepped forward, “Brother Wang, involving someone from the Wei Mansion is not something we can deal with. The pressing matter is to send your brother-in-law to the medical hall. After he wakes up, we can inquire about what really happened.”

Wang Yi took a deep breath, his clenched fists slowly unclenching, and he nodded, “Let’s do as you say. Trouble my brothers to lend a hand and carry my brother-in-law to the medical hall.”

“It’s no trouble, but since this involves the Wei Family, it’s beyond what we can handle. When we return, I’m afraid we’ll have to report to the higher-ups.”

Wei Mansion’s independent status in the County demanded respect from the County Lord Mansion, and they couldn’t be careless.

Watching Wang Yi and his group arriving with a fierce momentum and then leaving dejectedly,

The merchants in the workshop applauded and cheered.

These retainers had no shortage of extorting and swindling them on normal days, so seeing them humbled now couldn’t be more satisfying.

Lu Qing was unaware of what had transpired after he left.

At this moment, he was in a private room of a tavern.

“Old Sir, come, have some wine to steady your nerves.”

After ordering a table full of good dishes, Lu Qing poured a cup of wine for the old man and said with a smile.

“Young Master, if there’s something you need, just tell this old man straight; your kindness is almost too much for me to handle.”

The old man felt uneasy seeing the table full of dishes.

Coming from a poor background, he had never been to such a high-end tavern or seen such exquisite food.

The cost of any of these dishes was likely equal to a month’s income for his entire family; how could he dare to eat?

If it wasn’t for Lu Qing’s luxurious attire and him having saved his life and helped him retrieve his silver earlier,

He would never have dared to enter such an expensive place.

“Old Sir, there’s no need to panic.” After giving Little Yan a piece of chicken to eat, Lu Qing continued with a smile, “I won’t hide it from you; actually, I do have a favor to ask of you.”

“A favor to ask of me?” The old man looked astonished, almost thinking he had misheard, “Young Master, you jest. Someone like you, what could I possibly help you with?”

“Old Sir, I wonder if you could show me that money pouch of yours?”

“The money pouch?”

The old man was taken aback, only then realizing that Lu Qing was referring to the small pouch he used to carry his silver.

Though unsure why Lu Qing would want to see that old pouch, the old man still took it out and handed it to Lu Qing.

Naturally, he wasn’t worried about Lu Qing having any ulterior motives.

With the silver he had, he probably couldn’t even afford the pot of wine in front of him, let alone catch Lu Qing’s eye.

Sure enough, after Lu Qing took the money pouch, he poured out the small silver pieces onto the table. He didn’t bother to give them more than a glance, instead closely examining the pouch itself.

Upon a close look, Lu Qing immediately noticed something amiss.

The money pouch was old but exceptionally sturdy with not a single sign of damage.

Moreover, its material didn’t seem to be cloth but rather resembled some kind of animal hide, naturally adorned with faintly discernible and bizarre patterns that were difficult to make out without a careful look.

After inspecting it, Lu Qing finally activated his Superpower to look at the pouch.

Before long, a faint purple light emerged from the money pouch.

[Qiankun Qi Bag: Low Grade Spirit Artifact, forged by a Great Divine Power possessing Mana, using the outer skin of the Space Cloud Beast as the primary material.]

[Containing a microcosm inside, it has a vast space within it capable of storing items, along with the capability to absorb and exhale clouds and mist, and inhale and exhale wind, with the ability to refine living creatures.]

[The Space Cloud Beast is naturally gifted with a Space Divine Ability, and the natural patterns on its hide contain a hint of the Law of Space.]

[Due to the depletion of Spiritual Energy, the spiritual nature has greatly declined, the powers of the Spiritual Objects have dimmed, and their might is hardly a hundredth of what it once was.]

Reading the words that had appeared on the money pouch, Lu Qing was pleasantly surprised.

Indeed, this was a Spiritual Artifact, named the Qiankun Qi Bag.

Additionally, according to the information on the words, it was one of the legendary space-related items.

What surprised him was that, unlike the Leaving Fire Tripod, there was no inheritance left on this pouch.

Even so, it was already enough to make Lu Qing thrilled.

The elderly man on the other side, seeing Lu Qing examining an old pouch over and over, was completely perplexed.

He didn’t understand. Wasn’t it just an old bag? What was there to look at?

“Old sir, may I be so bold as to ask where you got this money pouch from?”

After confirming it was truly a Spirit Artifact, Lu Qing suppressed his elation and asked the elderly man.

“I found this money pouch when I was young, digging in the fields one time. I saw that it was old but not damaged, so I took it home, cleaned it up, and started using it. Strangely enough, although it looks old, I’ve used it for many years without it ever going bad; it has always been like this.”

As he said this, the old man also began to suspect something.

Could it be that this money pouch was special?

Seeing his expression, Lu Qing knew he must have guessed something.

He spoke candidly, “Old sir, I must tell you the truth, the material of this money pouch is quite special and useful to me, so I would like to buy it. What price would you ask to part with it?”

“Son, is this money pouch really a treasure?” the old man asked with widened eyes.

“To someone like me who practices Cultivation, yes, it is. But to an ordinary person like you, aside from holding money, it has no other use,” Lu Qing implied.

Upon hearing this, the old man understood that this was something for Martial Artists and had no relation to ordinary folk like him.

He immediately said, “If the young master likes it, just take it. After all, this thing isn’t of much use to me. Besides, if not for you, I might have lost my life just now. This money pouch, consider it my way of saying thanks for your help.”

The old man was not a fool.

Since the object was something even Martial Artists desired, it wasn’t something an ordinary person like himself could keep.

It was only because Lu Qing was good-natured that he asked so politely.

Had it been any other Martial Artist, not forcibly taking it would have already been a kindness, let alone being so considerate as to not endanger his life.

“One thing for another, this item indeed has use for me, but I can’t simply take it for nothing. Here’s the deal, old sir, take this piece of gold as payment for your money pouch.”

Lu Qing took a small gold ingot from his bosom and placed it on the table.

The dazzling glint of gold caught the old man’s eye instantly.

He had lived for so long but never encountered such a large piece of gold.

However, he quickly waved his hands in refusal, “I couldn’t, I couldn’t. Son, it’s just a money pouch, and you’ve just saved my life. How can I possibly take your money!”

“Don’t decline, old sir. Let’s settle it this way, I will buy the money pouch from you.”

Without further discussion, Lu Qing stuffed the gold ingot into the old man’s hand.

The old man wanted to refuse again, but found himself unable to let go once the gold was in his grasp.

He suddenly thought that with such a large piece of gold, many problems at home could be solved.

There’d be enough for his granddaughter’s dowry and his wife’s persistent illness; they could afford better medicine.

They might even build two more rooms, so many family members wouldn’t have to crowd into their small home, struggling to find a place to rest.

With this in mind, the old man found himself unable to voice his refusals.

Seeing this, Lu Qing knew the old man was tempted.

He smiled lightly, “It’s just a piece of gold, of no great concern to me. Old sir, rest assured and accept it.”

Seeing that Lu Qing insisted to this extent, the old man eventually accepted the gold ingot.

“Old sir, are you hungry? It would be a waste to let this lavish spread of dishes go uneaten.”

Seeing that the old man had taken the gold ingot, Lu Qing then put away the money pouch and smiled.

The old man, having accepted the gold, naturally felt less constrained and joined Lu Qing in enjoying the feast.

After satisfying their hunger and thirst, Lu Qing personally escorted the old man out of the city and discreetly followed him at a distance to ensure no one was tailing them before returning to the city.

After all, it was better to be thorough in good deeds. The last thing he wanted was for his kindness to result in misfortune for the old man.

Just as he reentered the city, Lu Qing’s expression suddenly became grave as he looked ahead.

He saw a man with a smile on his face, sauntering toward him not far ahead.

The man was a handsome middle-aged individual, whose Phoenix Eyes were particularly striking.
