Ancient Land Convenience Store - Chapter 4

“It’s a saint’s method! He is really demonstrating a saint’s skills!” An old man who had the honor of observing a saint casting magic stared at the Zixia Sword and roared with excitement.

His excited yell immediately woke the others hiding in the shadows. Some guys who had been waiting to use Luo Feng to vent their frustrations after Yang Jian leaves started shaking and immediately quenched any thought of it.

You’re kidding!

How can a guy who can dispel karmic fire be an ordinary person?

Like the others, Yang Jian stared in surprise at the Ziwei Sword that was constantly moving in the sky. Although he had initially just wanted to try his luck, who could have imagined that Luo Feng would actually do it.

“Even my master, the Immortal Yuding, can’t eliminate the karmic fire on the Ziwei Sword!” Yang Jian silently thought to himself. The next moment, he flew toward the Ziwei Sword in a blaze of white light.

The Ziwei Sword seemed to sense danger approaching and started trembling. It then emitted a wave that could be seen by the naked eye.

“Evil beast! Though I can let you see the light again, I can also send you to hell again. Don’t blame me for being merciless if you continue to resist!”

As Yang Jian’s ruthless voice resounded in the air, the Ziwei Sword trembled and sent out a burst of mourning before flying into Yang Jian’s hand.

Magic treasures have intelligence. The Ziwei Sword knew that if it weren’t for Luo Feng it would not have been able to avoid a terrible fate. He could have been trapped in the dark for all eternity. Although the Ziwei Sword really wanted to follow Luo Feng, it also knew that a great person such as Luo Feng would never care enough about itself. It didn’t have a choice but to belong to Yang Jian.

If Luo Feng knew what the Ziwei Sword was thinking, he would have probably yelled that he would never abandon it.

Yang Jian landed with the Ziwei Sword as well-behaved as a little kitten in his hand. This is the advantage to owning a magic treasure with its own intelligence. As long as it recognizes a master, it would let the master use itself wholeheartedly.

As soon as Luo Feng saw Yang Jian landing in front of him, he quickly moved forward and bowed. “Congratulations for obtaining such an incredible treasure. What a blessing!”

Since Luo Feng dispelled the karmic fire from the Ziwei Sword, Yang Jian dared not treat him as he would any normal person. He quickly bowed back, “This is all because of Taoist friend. Yang Jian will definitely keep my promise of reward!”

Within a moment, a small desiccated wood appeared in Yang Jian’s hands. “This is a piece of heavenly wood that I obtained coincidently. Would Elder be interested?”

Unconsciously, Yang Jian had started calling Luo Feng “Elder” instead of “Taoist friend.”

It’s not that Yang Jian is snobbish. After all, there are very few people who can remove karmic fire in the Ancient Land. Even his master has to respectfully call them “Elder.” So Yang Jian doesn’t feel that he degraded himself in any way by referring to Luo Feng as “Elder.”

What distressed Yang Jian was that Luo Feng took one look at the wood and immediately lost interest.

Could it be that Elder doesn’t care for it?

The moment this thought came to Yang Jian, he regretted his previous actions. An Elder such as this one in front of him would never care about a little thing such as heavenly wood.

If Luo Feng knew what Yang Jian was thinking at the time, he would have jumped up to yell,  “it’s not that I despise it, but more that I don’t have anything I can do with it.”

“Elder, please look at this origin fire metal. It’s invaluable for refining the greatest artifacts.”

Luo Feng didn’t move. He didn’t even lift his eyelids.

“Elder, look at this phoenix feather again. It’s a feather from the first phoenix that ever existed. Even a light swing would create thunder and wind.”

Yang Jian almost started crying when he saw Luo Feng like an old oak, standing there without moving. Luo Feng didn’t nod at anything, no matter what valuable treasure Yang Jian presented. He felt like a kid showing his toys to an adult.

Of course, Yang Jian considered breaking his promise. But the thought of Luo Feng’s “unpredictable” means made him immediately give up this ridiculous idea.

You’re kidding!

The other party is an existence that can erase karmic fire. If I make him unhappy, even my teacher, Immortal Yuding, wouldn’t be able to save me.

Hoo

Yang Jian let out a heavy sigh and opened his bag. With a bitter smile he said, “Elder, here’s everything I have. Why don’t you just take what interests you?”

Luo Feng pretended to look inside Yang Jian’s bag with an air of superiority and said, “These are common objects. I don’t care for them.”

Common?

Yang Jian’s lips twitched as he heard Luo Feng’s comment about his proud collection. He responded with a mournful expression, “Elder, what do you really want?”

“I want you…”

“No.” Yang Jian refused without hesitation before Luo Feng could finish. “My body is a gift from my parents. I can’t give myself to you.”

This time, it was Luo Feng’s lips that twitched. When did Yang Jian become so dirty?

Luo Feng shook his head. “Friend, you misunderstood. I just want your merits.”

As he said this, Luo Feng secretly looked at Yang Jian’s face. Merit is not a simple thing. Powerful immortals such as Nuwa and San Qing had punched a hole in the sky when they fought over merit. Could Yang Jian react by trying to kill him over this request?

However, Yang Jian’s reaction was much calmer than Luo Feng thought. He just frowned a little and asked, “How much merit do you intend to charge?”

Luo Feng looked at Yang Jian’s face, which was not very good-looking, and carefully stretched out five fingers.

Seeing Luo Feng’s five fingers, Yang Jian finally showed a smile on his face. “Five hundred merits. Deal!”

As he said this, Yang Jian grabbed at his chest and a white light appeared in his hand. Just as Luo Feng was about to ask what it was, he heard the system announce that he had received 500 merits.

Luo Feng couldn’t laugh or cry when he got such a prompt. Originally, he just wanted to ask Yang Jian for 50 merits to have enough to survive. He didn’t expect that Yang Jian would immediately offer 500 merits.

This created a sense of confusion within him. Is merit worthless in the Ancient Land?
