Chapter 192 - Cunning Businessman
Tian Guangming was extremely envious as he looked at Heaven Heart.
This was a Celestial Artifact!
Everyone else was envious to a certain degree except for Moon Angel Usuna and Archangel Gabriel.
With this celestial artifact, Heaven Heart"s strength would increase further.
Heaven Heart was also really delighted. He held the beads in his hand and played around with them. The beads gave out a crisp sound as they b.u.mped into one another which helped to calm him down!
A random b.u.mp with a celestial artifact could give rise to extraordinary effects.
"Thank you, Master. Your kindness is the blessing of our Bank of the Universe!" Heaven Heart bowed and felt really grateful.
Tian Guangming felt really sour and he muttered to himself, "This guy only knows how to suck up!"
Li Xiandao waved his hands. All these people were his direct subordinates and they were all really talented. As for celestial artifacts, if he placed them in the bank treasury, that would just be a waste.
Now that all of them had fake celestial cultivation, they would easily be able to use celestial artifacts.
Li Xiandao looked at Tian Guangming and asked, "You took three contracts by yourself, so did you complete all of them?"
Tian Guangming saw that it was finally his turn, so he stepped out and said, "Master, I have completed the three contracts. Apart from the Duanmu Family old ancestor who had only three days of life left which I didn"t take from him, I got everything else back along with the compensation amount."
"You placed the items into the treasury?" Li Xiandao asked Seven.
Seven nodded. "They are all here."
"You worked very hard, you were in charge of three contracts, and even came back in second place." Li Xiandao said towards Tian Guangming.
"It wasn"t tiring. It is my honor to serve Master. I would go all out to please you! To be able to complete a task for Master is a blessing of mine, I also need to thank Master for giving me this chance." Tian Guangming spoke proudly and loudly.
It was as if what he did for Li Xiandao wasn"t a simple mission but a very supreme ideal.
At that moment, apart from Li Xiandao, everyone else cursed, "This guy only knows how to suck up!"
Li Xiandao waved his hands and his face that was hidden by the mask had turned red. This was just too blatant and he couldn"t handle it.
"Okay, I know you have worked hard. You are the only one who completed three contracts, so I shall reward you with something." Li Xiandao thought about it and took out the celestial artifact Heaven Emperor Brush that had been placed aside for a long time.
At this moment, Tian Guangming felt that his good luck had finally arrived!
He recognized this thing!
It was a celestial artifact!
Heaven Emperor Brush!
The celestial artifact that he dreamt about getting was right in front of his eyes.
"It is a waste for me to place the Heaven Emperor Brush here. Now, I am pa.s.sing it to you in hopes that you will be able to utilize it well and help me clear the debts." Li Xiandao said solemnly.
He didn"t give it to him just because he s.u.c.k.e.d up to him.
Li Xiandao had contemplated this deeply. Tian Guangming was so excited and had worked hard to catch up with everyone. He even faced some problems and had nearly turned into a woman and was a sissy for a period of time. Li Xiandao gave him the Heaven Emperor Brush because of all his hard work.
It definitely wasn"t because Tian Guangming s.u.c.k.e.d up to him!!!!!
"Don"t worry, Master, I swear that I shall protect Master"s pride and the interests of the Bank of the Universe!" Tian Guangming knelt down on the ground and held his both hands up to receive the Heaven Emperor Brush.
Li Xiandao tossed the Heaven Emperor Brush over and stood up, "From today on, we have finally gained a foothold in Eternal Land. We have drawn first blood but we must not relax. Eternal Land is huge and Feather Transformation G.o.d Dynasty is just one small area. There is still a huge area for us to cover. The other lands connected to Eternal Land is also our development goals."
All of them were really solemn as they listened to Li Xiandao"s instructions.
"You have done well tonight and I am really satisfied. Everything is collected and all of you should be rewarded for that. But as we have limited Celestial Artifacts, once we get more then I shall reward all of you." Li Xiandao made a promise.
The old priest and everyone else without celestial artifacts looked on emotionally.
They all willingly accepted Li Xiandao"s promise.
That was because Li Xiandao had given all the celestial artifacts he had to the others.
Moon Angel"s Great Xia Dragonfinch was now called Full Moon!
Heaven Heart"s Ten Thousand Buddha Beads!
Tian Guangming"s Heaven Emperor Brush!
Archangel Gabriel"s celestial artifact sword!
All of them belonged to the Bank of the Universe and to Li Xiandao. Li Xiandao didn"t take it and continued to let Gabriel use it!
Li Xiandao didn"t have a single celestial artifact for himself and didn"t even have a weapon he could use.
This was the most convincing thing as everyone trusted and believed in their Master.
"All of you can leave. I shall open the Ten Thousand Country Book Depository to all of you and you can head in to increase your knowledge." Li Xiandao thought about it before he spoke.
This could be considered a small reward for the other people.
"Thank you, Master!" All of them shouted in unison and walked in one by one.
Seven praised Li Xiandao, "You really are generous. You didn"t even leave a single celestial artifact for yourself."
Li Xiandao stood there with his arms behind his back and slowly walked out of the Trading Hall. He said while walking, "I don"t need one."
"Everyone in the world chases riches and fame. That is a celestial artifact, a weapon that only celestials use. Don"t you feel heartpained about it?" Seven followed Li Xiandao out and asked.
Li Xiandao pushed open the entrance of the Trading Hall. Tian Guangming and the others went out through a side entrance.
Hong!
The moment the entrance opened, the morning sunlight shone in which made Li Xiandao squint. He stood under the sunlight, took off his mask, and smiled at Seven. "Isn"t the weapon that celestials use, only a weapon?"
"If they use the weapons that celestials use, then to the people, they are celestials. If celestials do my bidding and follow my orders, doesn"t that mean that I am stronger than a celestial?" Li Xiandao asked Seven.
Seven stood there and looked at Li Xiandao. Li Xiandao"s confident and charming smile caused her heart to race.
"You really are scheming!" Seven praised Li Xiandao.
Li Xiandao laughed out loud and walked to the entrance. He looked at the many mountains that were sealed. Sunlight shone from the distance and chased away the darkness.
"The quant.i.ty of weapons doesn"t matter. What matters is whether or not it is suitable. Even if I have 100 of them, they are still useless. People must use them to increase their strengths and only then will they bring me 200, 300 or even 3000 weapons!" Li Xiandao said confidently.
"I just used a few celestial artifacts to make them grateful to me and make them willing to sacrifice their lives for me. Isn"t that worth it?" Li Xiandao asked Seven.
"You really are a cunning merchant." Seven stared at Li Xiandao, etching his image into her mind.
Li Xiandao was really handsome!
"Do you like... a cunning merchant like me?" Li Xiandao panted and asked.
Seven turned around and didn"t want to reply.
For some reason, her heart was beating a little quicker.
