Chapter 142 - 20-Year Employee Contract
Chapter 142: 20-Year Employee Contract
Within the Trading Hall, Li Xiandao met the new guest.
It was an old man, a sage-like old monk, with a bright red face.
Li Xiandao swept the old man’s hands with a weird expression.
It was perfect!
Li Xiandao knew that he had fallen for his tricks.
The face hidden under the mask was filled with emotion as Li Xiandao anticipated how the old monk would react after he saw him.
….
What kind of expression?
He looked like he had just eaten shit!
The old monk totally didn’t expect the person behind the red watch to be the world crosser who all of them had gone to attack!
Was there something more unbelievable than that?
He had sacrificed one of his arms in order to escape and now that he had recovered it, he felt a bit awkward.
“I want to leave now… Can I?” The old monk muttered.
“Please sit.” Li Xiandao didn’t bother about him and spoke calmly.
The old monk reluctantly sat opposite Li Xiandao.
“Guest, since you have entered the Bank of the Universe, what wish would you like to fulfil?” Li Xiandao acted as if nothing happened before and asked in a normal voice.
“I don’t have a wish.” The old monk hesitated and said.
“Okay, then I will send you out. Moreover, I will never receive you for the rest of your life. You will also forget about the watch and everything about this.” Li Xiandao said calmly and didn’t try to persuade him.
The old monk was stunned. He didn’t expect things to be so simple?
He let him go just like that?
“Then, I will leave?” The old monk stood up and asked.
Li Xiandao nodded and stretched his hand out, “The door is there, go out.”
The old monk hesitantly walked towards the door. He turned his head every three steps to see whether or not Li Xiandao was going to stop him.
If Li Xiandao did, then he wouldn’t stay.
Li Xiandao didn’t even look at him; he stood up and was prepared to leave too.
There were just too few people who entered the Bank of the Universe and left without trading anything.
That was because no one with no desires would be able to enter the Bank of the Universe.
The red watch wouldn’t find such a person either.
The old monk walked to the entrance and Li Xiandao still didn’t try to stop him. He turned his head and saw that Li Xiandao was about to leave too. He felt really anxious.
“Haiz, let me understand this situation.” The old man turned around and sat in the chair.
Li Xiandao sat down too and looked calmly at the old monk.
As he wore the dark, gold mask, the old monk’s psychological trauma surfaced and he was terrified. “I want to know whether or not you can help me block the tribulation?”
Li Xiandao immediately thought about his cultivation.
The old monk was really strong and apart from the Great Ocean Saint Turtle, he was the strongest in the entire Ancient Desolate Land.
The key was that due to his passive nature and long lifespan, if he tried to fly, the tribulation would be terrifying.
“Of course.” Li Xiandao smiled confidently.
“My tribulation is really terrifying.” The old monk reminded Li Xiandao.
Li Xiandao nodded his head. Of course, he knew that it would be terrifying.
But so what?
The old monk frowned, “What solution do you have?”
“Isn’t your goal just to leave Ancient Desolate Land and head to higher worlds to cultivate?” Li Xiandao asked.
The old monk nodded his head and said helplessly, “When I broke through in the past I was unsure and didn’t fly up right away. When I got much stronger and wanted to fly, the tribulation was already too thick.”
Li Xiandao asked, “I can solve your problem but what can you give to me?”
The old monk went silent.
“Since ancient times, there has been give and take. If I help you solve the tribulation, what repayment can you give me?” Li Xiandao asked calmly.
The old monk frowned and thought about it.
What treasures did he have?
God Source? He had scattered them all on the flowers and trees.
The old monk did have some treasures that had been nurtured for over 10,000 years. They were connected to his aura and couldn’t be given away.
What else did he have?
The old monk thought about it and had no idea. He asked Li Xiandao, “What do you think I can pay?”
Li Xiandao pointed and said firmly, “You!”
The old monk took a step back and his expression froze, “I am already 10,000 years old and have become ancient and tired. I can’t battle anymore. I can’t do that with you.”
“Moreover, your taste is a little heavy. I am so old and you can do it. That is just such a special taste.” The old monk looked at Li Xiandao in amazement.
Li Xiandao’s expression turned black. Luckily, he wore the mask, otherwise, his expression would have been extremely ugly.
“If it was 5,000 years ago I could maybe just accept it. But now I need to think about it before I can give you an answer.” The old monk touched his butt and had a feeling that he was about to suffer.
Slice!
Seven couldn’t help but cover her mouth and she left.
Li Xiandao stood up and said furiously, “Your thinking is really problematic. Seven, take a 20-year employee contract for him and let him consider it.”
After saying that, Li Xiandao angrily walked out of the Trading Hall after talking to the old monk.
Seeing Li Xiandao walk away, the old monk muttered, “Did I understand it incorrectly? You were the one who described it incorrectly, okay?”
Seven passed the old monk a contract.
“What is this?” The old monk was shocked.
“A 20-year employee contract. Look at it yourself.” Seven said softly. After saying this, she ran after Li Xiandao.
….
Outside the Trading Hall, Li Xiandao stood with his arms behind his back. He looked at the mountains that were all sealed. As of now only, three were unsealed.
Clouds and mist circled them and they were a beautiful sight. Even with the restrictions, Li Xiandao could see how beautiful the scenery was.
If he unlocked the restrictions, how beautiful would the Bank of the Universe be?
Li Xiandao couldn’t help but anticipate the future.
“Are you looking at the scenery?” Seven walked beside Li Xiandao. One tall and one short person admired the view, shoulder to shoulder.
“How is he?” Li Xiandao asked.
“He is reading it.” Seven said, “You are paying a lot of attention to him.”
“He is one of the few abnormalities that I have seen in the entire Ancient Desolate Land.” Li Xiandao said. He didn’t show any rage that he had shown previously.
“Abnormality?” Seven didn’t understand what Li Xiandao was saying.
“This person’s lifespan is at least 50,000 years.”
“That is impossible. He is only at Countless Sands Realm, so at most, it should be 15,000.” Seven shook her head.
Li Xiandao said, “I also think that it is impossible but that is the truth. With his current improvement speed in the technique he is cultivating, after leaving Ancient Desolate Land and obtaining large amounts of spiritual energy and resources, his lifespan will continue to increase.”
“That is weird. What technique is he cultivating?” Seven frowned.
“Constant Youth Celestial Technique!” Li Xiandao said.
“Isn’t that technique really basic?” Seven was surprised. This was the most basic of techniques and the monk was able to reach his current realm?
“Is he a treasure?” Li Xiandao asked.
Seven nodded. “He really is.”
“That’s why I pretended to be angry to pressure him. As long as he signs, this treasure will be mine. After 20 years, he definitely won’t want to live in the Bank of the Universe.” Li Xiandao said confidently.
