Chapter 647

With the two beauties, E Ji and Su Ji, guiding the way, Li Yi found a slave owner named Gong Man before nightfall. This slave owner was also a major slave owner with a large stock of goods, all of which were valuable and high-quality.

"Guest, are you looking to buy slaves?" When slave owner Gong Man saw Li Yi, he was very polite. He then noticed E Ji and Su Ji behind Li Yi, and his eyes couldn't help but flicker.

Clearly, Gong Man recognized that these two beauties, E Ji and Su Ji, were the very same beautiful concubines he had sold.

He remembered selling them to the merchant Xiu Xiang for two hundred gold.

Li Yi said, "Do you recognize these two beautiful concubines beside me?"

"I recognize them. They are slaves from the Changshan Tribe. One is called Su, and the other is called E. Last year, they were the two most beautiful women I had here." Slave owner Gong Man said with a smile, "However, I have even more beautiful concubines now. Would you like to buy them, guest?"

"I am not here to buy beautiful concubines; I am here to rescue someone." Li Yi said, glancing at E Ji behind him.

E Ji immediately said, "There is a High Priest named Dou Kun from the Changshan Tribe in your possession. I hope you can sell him to my master."

Slave owner Gong Man said with a smile, "You are indeed very favored by your master, but the price of a High Priest slave is not cheap. They possess heritage and knowledge and know how to command the power of heaven and earth. They are rare and valuable goods in the market. A High Priest from a large tribe is even more precious than a God-Blood Warrior."

Li Yi directly interrupted him, "How much gold will it take for you to sell that High Priest Dou Kun to me?"

Slave owner Gong Man looked at Li Yi, his eyes turning slightly.

After all, this was a big business opportunity delivered to his door. He wouldn't sell it cheaply, but he couldn't set the price too high either, or else if word got out, it would affect his reputation and make it difficult for him to do business in the future.

Gong Man said, "I want three thousand gold for a High Priest."

Three thousand gold?

Hearing this amount, E Ji and Su Ji's bodies trembled. While feeling shocked, a wave of panic and unease surged up instantly because the price was too high.

One had to know that the Alien-Blood Warrior Long Yu was only worth one thousand gold.

Logically, a High Priest should be worth at most one thousand to two thousand gold. This slave owner actually dared to double the price.

Although Li Yi didn't know the prices in this world, he knew the other party had quoted a very high price, and he couldn't help but frown.

Gong Man immediately added, "This price is a bit high, but I can gift you five beautiful concubines."

Even if there were five beautiful concubines, they would only be worth five hundred gold at most, and that would only be if they were beauties of the same caliber as E Ji and Su Ji.

Clearly, the other party intended to bundle them together for a big deal.

"Two thousand gold, and I don't want the five beautiful concubines. How about that?" Li Yi said.

He had expected this Gong Man to continue haggling, but he never expected him to agree with a smile immediately: "Agreed!"

"." Li Yi.

This agreement was truly swift. It seemed that even two thousand gold was too high. As expected, he wasn't suited for business; it wasn't his specialty.

"Bring the person here."

Li Yi couldn't be bothered to argue. Fortunately, he had earned eighty thousand gold from the merchant Lie Hou earlier; otherwise, he really wouldn't have been able to afford anything. Now, he had to thank the merchant Lie Hou for making him a wealthy man in one leap.

He handed twenty pieces of red gold to Gong Man.

Although slave owner Gong Man was cunning, he was still very trustworthy. After accepting the gold, he immediately had his servants bring over the High Priest named Dou Kun.

Soon.

Li Yi saw an old man with a wrinkled face, leaning on a staff, and covered in various ancient totems, being sent out. The old man looked very old, his vitality failing and his body withered, but his eyes were extremely bright, like those of an infant, making him hard to forget.

"High Priest."

When E Ji and Su Ji saw this old man, they immediately knelt and bowed to him.

"Is it E and Su?"

High Priest Dou Kun sighed deeply, "You are truly two good children, but you shouldn't have rescued an old man like me who has few days left. You should strive to live your own lives well. Let me wither like autumn leaves and melt away like spring snow. Do not go against the laws of heaven and nature."

He was old, but not senile.

As fellow slaves, E and Su must have paid a very high price to rescue him, so the moment he was rescued, he felt no joy, only shame and helplessness.

"We are only alive today because of the High Priest. As long as there is a chance, we will definitely rescue the High Priest." E Ji said earnestly.

High Priest Dou Kun now raised his aged head to look at Li Yi.

He also saw at a glance that this Li Yi before him was a God-Blood Warrior, and very young. Within his powerful physique lay infinite potential. What was even more shocking was that he could feel two types of bloodline power within this person's body.

"An extraordinary young warrior. You will surely become a god in the future."

His assessment of Li Yi was exactly the same as that of Sage Nanshan Bo; both felt that Li Yi would definitely become a new deity in the future.

Li Yi just smiled and said, "I hope so. High Priest, do not blame E and Su. They view you as an important person, and your survival is very important to them. If you had just died in the hands of the slave owner like that, that would be what would make them regret it for the rest of their lives."

"You are right."

High Priest Dou Kun said, "But my mission and responsibility have been completed with the destruction of the Changshan Tribe. Even if I am rescued, the Changshan Tribe will not return. Just like how we destroyed other tribes in the past, rise and fall is the way of nature; no one can go against it."

"Then change your way of living. For example, follow me. How about that?"

Li Yi said, "You are an old wise man. If I were to leave you to wander outside, that would be a very cruel thing. Let me take care of your final years."

Hearing this, E Ji and Su Ji beside him immediately showed expressions of joy.

If the High Priest also followed Lord Dayi, that would be a great thing. The High Priest could assist Lord Dayi in managing everything well, and they themselves would be able to give birth to God-Blood offspring for Lord Dayi in the future.

Although the Changshan Tribe had perished, its bloodline and heritage had been reborn from the ashes.

E Ji and Su Ji understood this logic, and High Priest Dou Kun naturally understood it as well.

What is most important for the formation of a tribe? A High Priest, a powerful chieftain, and enough warriors and offspring.

Very coincidentally.

Now, all these conditions were met.

Like a tiny seed, one only needs to wait quietly, and in the future, it will take root, sprout, and eventually grow into a towering tree.

However, could he live to see that day?

To see a God-Blood tribe appear again?

But no matter what, he had to try.

At the very least, E Ji and Su Ji still had a future.

He was already old; perhaps he could still turn into dry wood and burn one last time.

"Young warrior, what is your name?" High Priest Dou Kun asked afterwards.

Li Yi said, "My name is Dayi."

"Dayi, that is a very good name. I am willing to follow your suggestion, follow you, and acknowledge you as my master. I hope you will not mind that I am old and useless. I will do my best to pass on everything I have mastered to help you strengthen your God-Blood family." High Priest Dou Kun said.

Li Yi smiled and said, "Old age is never a shortcoming to me. You will live a very prosperous and peaceful life; I guarantee it."

"Thank you for your generosity, Dayi." High Priest Dou Kun said sincerely.

Li Yi said, "Let's go. It's time for us to return. Perhaps while we have a little time left, we should go buy some wine and meat. We should have a good meal tonight. You don't need to do anything these days; you are all injured and your bodies are weak, so you need a good rest."

Shan Guo, Long Yu, and High Priest Dou Kun all looked at Dayi.

As expected, this was a natural leader of men, worth following, and he would not humiliate others but would give them enough respect.

This respect was worth repaying with one's life.

E Ji and Su Ji supported High Priest Dou Kun, their eyes flickering as they also looked at Dayi walking in front. They understood in their hearts now that from now on, this man would be their everything.

What the future would hold, they didn't know; they only knew that Dayi's fate was their fate.

On the way back, Li Yi indeed bought a lot of wine and meat. He bought over a dozen exotic beasts alone; after all, he wasn't just feeding one person now, but a whole group of people who needed to eat and drink.

As the master, he naturally had to be responsible for all the expenses.

So, being the boss also came with pressure.
