Chapter 641

When the guard opened the door, Li Yi immediately saw the merchant Lie Hou and the God-Blood Warrior Dong Chong waiting outside the door. At this moment, they didn't have the slightest hostility, but instead carried a bit of awe.

Sure enough, after being beaten, their eyes would become clear, and people would know how to be polite, knowing how to wait outside the door instead of attacking like yesterday.

"Lord Dayi, according to yesterday's promise, I have prepared the eighty thousand gold." The merchant Lie Hou endured the pain of losing money and lifted a box in front of Li Yi.

After opening it, under the sunlight, red light flickered.

Pieces of red gold were piled together, a full eight hundred pieces. Although the quantity didn't look large, these eight hundred pieces of red gold were incomparably heavy, like some kind of rare divine iron, and were excellent materials for refining divine weapons.

Even if this thing is not currency, its value is huge.

"Eight hundred pieces of red gold, not much, not much. Please count them, Lord Dayi." Lie Hou said seriously: "As a merchant, I will definitely do what I promised, so please fulfill your promise and let me and Dong Chong live."

Li Yi grabbed a handful of red gold. The warm and heavy red gold collided, making a crisp and pleasant sound, as if it were beautiful music.

Having crossed borders so many times, he has always regarded money as dirt, but he really can't help but love the money of this world, because this is not just money, but pieces of treasure.

You must know that E Ji and Su Ji, the two beauties, were only worth two pieces of red gold. I don't know how many precious things these eight hundred pieces of red gold can be exchanged for.

"Since your promise has been fulfilled, I will naturally fulfill the promise I made. From today on, I forgive your and Dong Chong's lives, but it is limited to my personal forgiveness. Whether the merchant Xiu Xiang will find trouble with you and retaliate afterward, I can't control."

Li Yi then put the box of red gold directly into the Five-Element Bracelet and stared at them seriously: "Also, such a promise only happens once. If you find trouble with me again next time, I will not let you go again."

"Of course." Lie Hou breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this: "Thank you for your forgiveness, Lord Dayi."

"Don't thank me, this is just a transaction between us." Li Yi said: "You can leave now. I hope we won't meet again in the future."

Lie Hou nodded slightly, then didn't say much, took Dong Chong and several other servants, and turned to leave. He didn't return to the previous house because it had been destroyed by the battle, and he didn't leave this area immediately, but continued to go to the homes of other merchants nearby to make compensation.

Because quite a few places were damaged by the battle, Lie Hou didn't want to offend other merchants because of some house problems, so he had to spend a sum of gold to appease others.

In short, he lost a lot today.

After getting the gold, Li Yi returned to the courtyard where he lived.

At this moment, E Ji and Su Ji, the two women, had already gotten up. They combed each other's hair, tidied their clothes, and displayed their most beautiful side. As concubines, they didn't need to do anything usually, just dress themselves up and practice music and dance.

However, after seeing Li Yi, they immediately put down everything in their hands and knelt down to worship him: "Lord Dayi."

"Get up, teach me how to read today." Li Yi said.

"Understood." E Ji and Su Ji responded.

"Lord Dayi, do you have bamboo slips?" E Ji asked again.

Li Yi said: "I don't have bamboo slips. You can use arrows to write on the ground and teach me all the characters you have learned."

Then he threw out two golden arrows.

These were arrows at the level of high-grade magic tools refined by the bald Daoist, very sharp, and there was no problem using them for writing.

"Understood."

E Ji and Su Ji responded, picked up an arrow each, and then began to write from the simplest characters, and then taught them to Li Yi.

The arrows were indeed sharp, and there was no difficulty in writing on the hard stone.

The characters of this world are very ancient and primitive, a bit like the pictographs of Earth before, but they are different from pictographs. Although Li Yi has no culture and is a vulgar martial artist, his ability to never forget after cultivation is just the foundation. If he uses it for learning, he can also get into a good university and perhaps become a lawyer or doctor in the future.

"This is water, this is mountain, this is stone..." E Ji read every character she wrote on the ground.

Su Ji also did the same, and the two wrote different characters separately.

In just a short moment, the ground in the courtyard was covered with characters.

It has to be said that even as slaves, they know quite a bit of knowledge. No wonder the slave owner sold them for a high price of two hundred gold. In this world, women who know knowledge and are beautiful are indeed relatively precious.

And Li Yi's learning ability did not disappoint.

They wrote a character, and Li Yi learned a character. By the time they finished writing all the characters they had mastered, he had learned the characters of this world and could understand some bamboo slips.

"Lord Dayi is indeed a direct descendant of the gods. He actually mastered all the characters in such a short time." After putting down the arrows in their hands, E Ji was very surprised.

"This is not a difficult thing, as long as your memory is good." Li Yi said: "Since the characters are learned, I want to ask how much you know about divine art? Someone mentioned divine art yesterday, and I want to understand it."

But E Ji shook her head: "Lord Dayi, the slave is incompetent and doesn't know about divine art. We are not God-Blood Warriors, and there have been no God-Blood Warriors in the tribe before, so we cannot obtain this knowledge."

Su Ji said softly: "Perhaps the slave owner knows. They have even sold God-Blood Warriors as slaves."

Slave owner?

Li Yi's expression flickered, and he was reminded by this.

In North Waste City, if you want to say who is the most powerful, it is definitely not merchants or warriors, but slave owners.

In any place, in any world, those who dare to do the slave business are definitely not good people, and they are definitely people who can reach the sky with their hands.

He looked up at the sky.

It is still early, just noon.

Thinking that he still had eighty thousand gold in his hand, he thought he should go to the market to take a look, consume a bit, and at the same time find a slave owner to ask about divine art. As for the matter of Jiang Mingtian and Zhao Fangji, he planned to wait until Hu Fei arrived in North Waste City before making plans.

After all, before coming here, Li Yi had already sent a message to Hu Fei. I believe that as long as he is free, he will arrive soon.

"I'm going to the market to take a look. You two are tired from teaching me how to read, so take a good rest." Li Yi said immediately.

E Ji and Su Ji looked at each other, and then immediately said: "If Lord Dayi wants to find out about divine art, please take the slave with you. The slave knows that slave owner, and perhaps can introduce him to you, Lord Dayi."

It seems that after thinking about it last night, they have understood some truths and know that they should seize the opportunity to show their value.

Hearing this, Li Yi thought for a while and said: "Okay, you two come with me to the market."

Seeing the agreement, E Ji and Su Ji felt happy again.

Soon.

Li Yi explained the situation to others in the house, telling them that he was going to the market to take a look and would be back in the evening. However, the guards indicated that they wanted to escort him when they heard this.

But Li Yi refused.

Before, when his strength was weak, he needed guards to protect him, fearing that something would happen in North Waste City, but now, he is already in the Five-Qi Realm, and he is also a God-Blood Warrior. The guards here are not as strong as him, so bringing guards is useless.

He had been to the market once before, so he knew the way.

It's just that he was poor before and couldn't afford anything. Even if he saw some treasures that moved him, he could only watch eagerly. But this time is different. This time he has quite a lot of assets. If there is anything he likes, he will buy it without hesitation.

Soon.

Li Yi took the two concubines through the main road of North Waste City and arrived at the location of the market.

His appearance attracted the attention of many merchants in the market.

Because Li Yi was wearing Red Feather Purple Gold Armor, his whole body was steaming with red clouds, and he was carrying concubines. He looked like a very wealthy person, no, he should be a very wealthy God-Blood Warrior.

Even from a distance, one could feel the rich God-Blood aura.

"At least a direct descendant of the divine blood." The merchants revealed awe in their eyes.

A direct descendant of the divine blood in North Waste City still has a lot of weight.

Because a direct descendant of the divine blood never lacks the funding of merchants behind him. As long as that descendant is willing, North Waste City will soon have an extra God-Blood family.

In this world, a direct descendant of the divine blood represents wealth, status, and power, and is very respected.

So people like Li Yi will never become slaves, and will never be down and out, unless they are killed.

Of course, ordinary God-Blood Warriors are an exception, because ordinary God-Blood Warriors cannot pass on their divine blood, so their value is very limited.

When Li Yi walked in the market with E Ji and Su Ji, the people passing by would intentionally avoid them a little, not wanting to offend them, and also showing respect for the God-Blood Warrior.

Besides that, merchants are more willing to take out their treasured good goods to sell to God-Blood Warriors.

In their concept, good goods should be sold to powerful warriors, not wasted by weak and incompetent people.

It is precisely because of this that any merchant with strength must have a God-Blood Warrior behind him, otherwise he will never be able to grow big.
