"What do you think? Have you made up your mind?" The Naga continued to pressure him.
"Sir, I don't want this child anymore …" The old man gritted his teeth. Compared to the child, his and his father's livelihood was more important.
"Hmph! Wouldn't it have been over if you had done this earlier? The most important thing in doing business is honesty. If you go back on your word, how are you going to continue doing business with others? "The Naga said.
"Yes! Yes! Yes! Sir, you're right! " The old shopkeeper nodded. Although his heart was bleeding, he had no choice but to lower his head.
"Old shopkeeper, I won't take this child for free. Here are two thousand Wood Crystals. Consider it compensation for your loss." At this time, Jiang Fei walked up and handed a large bag of Spiritual Stones to the old shopkeeper.
"This …" The old shopkeeper was dumbfounded. He did not expect Jiang Fei to be so generous. That was two thousand Spiritual Stones. That was enough to buy his entire shop!
"Thank you, sir …" At this time, the old shopkeeper had nothing else to say. Although the little boy was not an ordinary person, he was already in Jiang Fei's hands. There was no way he could get him back. Now that Jiang Fei was willing to pay such a large sum of money, he was satisfied.
After settling the payment with the old shopkeeper, Jiang Fei walked out with the little boy. At this time, the Naga who was guarding the Thousand Beasts Gathering came over.
"Brother, come to my place for a chat." The Naga said to Jiang Fei.
"Sure." Jiang Fei nodded, then said to Hong Yun, "Alright, now that you've sent me to the Wanshou Gathering, we're even."
"Yes! Sir. " When Hong Yun saw how close Jiang Fei was to the Dragon Clan, she did not dare to stay by his side anymore. She handed the bag of illusion stones to Jiang Fei and turned to leave. After all, she had brought Jiang Fei to the Mega Beast Gathering and helped him collect illusion stones, it was all to repay his kindness.
"Let's go." Jiang Fei turned around and said to the Naga.
"Alright!" The Naga nodded, then brought Jiang Fei to his place.
As the place guarding the Thousand Beasts Gathering was only the Naga's temporary base, the decorations were very ordinary. Usually, the Naga would transport all the treasures they obtained back to their own lair. They would not waste money on a temporary base like this.
"Go sit in that pavilion for a while. I have something to talk to him about," Jiang Fei said as he pointed to a small pavilion in the middle of the courtyard.
"En!" The little boy nodded obediently, then went to the small pavilion alone to wait.
"How should I address you, brother? You're also a member of our Dragon Clan, right? "After entering the living room and taking their seats, the Dragon Clan member asked.
"My name is Jiang Fei," Jiang Fei said as he released his aura.
"Greetings, milord!" As soon as Jiang Fei's aura was released, the Naga could not sit still. After all, he was just an ordinary Naga, and Jiang Fei's aura was indeed that of a pure Upper-Level Naga.
"Alright, no need to be so polite. What's your name?" Jiang Fei smiled and waved his hand, then retracted his aura.
"This subordinate is Qi Meng," the dragon replied.
"Alright." Jiang Fei nodded.
"My lord, is there anything important that brought you to the Ten Thousand Beasts Gathering?" Qi Meng asked.
"I've been collecting Fantasy Stones recently, so I came here to take a look." Jiang Fei said.
"Fantasy Stones? What's the use of those things? "Qi Meng was stunned. Normally, Nagas would not be interested in such things that had no practical use.
"I want to make a small toy, so I need some." Jiang Fei said casually.
"My lord, as long as the Thousand Beasts Gathering has it, I will get it for you as soon as possible!" Qi Meng said as he patted his chest.
"Then I'll have to trouble you." Of course, Jiang Fei would not turn down such a good opportunity.
"It's just a small matter, my lord." Qi Meng laughed. Then, he changed the topic and asked Jiang Fei, "My lord, why are you fighting with that old man over this child? What's his background?"
"This little boy?" Jiang Fei smiled, then said, "He's very important!"
"Oh? Then can you help me clean my ears? "Qi Meng asked curiously.
"Hmm … That's really hard to say …" Jiang Fei hesitated. He did not want to tell others about this little boy's background.
"My lord, if it's not convenient for you to tell me, it's fine …" Although Qi Meng was curious, he did not dare to ask too much. After all, Jiang Fei was an Upper-Tier Naga Royalty. An ordinary Naga like him could not afford to offend such a person.
Moreover, Qi Meng could also see that the old man probably knew about this little boy's background. Even if Jiang Fei did not say anything, he could still ask the old man.
"Hoho, it's actually nothing. This kid is just a natural weapon spirit." When Jiang Fei saw Qi Meng's expression, he knew that Qi Meng would ask the old man about it. However, Jiang Fei did not want to kill him, so he simply said it.
"A natural weapon spirit? What do you mean? " However, Qi Meng did not understand at all. In this era, the art of equipment forging had not yet become popular. Who knew what a weapon spirit was.
"Let's put it this way. This little boy was not raised by his mother. He is some kind of artifact that was nourished by the heavens and the earth." Jiang Fei gave a simple explanation. However, he did not reveal the real origin of this little boy.
This was because this little boy was none other than the weapon spirit of the Nine Revolving Astrolabe!
When Jiang Fei first obtained the Nine Revolving Astrolabe, it was actually already a defective product. A large part of it had been damaged and most of its functions had also been lost. That was why it could only be used to travel between the Five Worlds and the outside world.
Because of the damage, the weapon spirit of the Nine Revolving Astrolabe had also disappeared. Jiang Fei did not know if it was dead or if it had run somewhere else.
However, today, when Jiang Fei saw this little boy, he had a strange feeling about him. Similarly, the little boy also felt that Jiang Fei was extremely close. This was because Jiang Fei had too many parts of the Nine Revolving Astrolabe.
Because of this, after Jiang Fei met this little boy, he refused to let go. Without this little boy, even if he gathered the complete form of the Nine Revolving Astrolabe, he would not be able to use it to its fullest potential.
As for the old shopkeeper of the slave shop, he did not know how he knew that the little boy was a weapon spirit. Therefore, he felt that the little boy was not ordinary and wanted to keep him in his hands. However, he definitely did not know that the little boy was the weapon spirit of the Nine Revolving Astrolabe. Otherwise, he would have hidden the little boy away a long time ago.
To put it bluntly, the old man knew that this little boy was not ordinary, so he just wanted to wait for the right price. Now that Jiang Fei had given him 2,000 Spirit Stones as compensation, the old man was satisfied.
"I see …" After listening to Jiang Fei's explanation, Qi Meng nodded. However, he still could not understand why Jiang Fei would spend such a large amount of Spirit Stones for this little boy.
"These high-ranking people always like to collect those strange things. These guys are really rich. They can spend thousands of Spirit Stones in one go …" Qi Meng muttered to himself.
