690 Give Me a Reason Not to Kill You (3)

Such an expert could be killed with 300 spiritual pearls?

Han Muye saw the young man’s background from the thin sword, how the Life Stealing Tower trained a.s.sa.s.sins, and how someone offered to buy his life.

He had only been on the Scattered Stars Island for two days, and the only people he had offended were Zhu Wus.h.i.+ and Zuo Tianya.

“How many spiritual pearls is my life worth?”

Han Muye looked at the young man playfully.

The young man’s name was Shao Tianyi, and he could be considered an elite of his generation in the Life Stealing Tower.

The steward had entrusted him with the mission, which meant that he valued it.

“Three, three hundred spiritual pearls…” Shao Tianyi said as he took out the jade box he carried with him.

Han Muye smiled.

How stingy.

The life of a great sword cultivator like me is only worth 300 spiritual pearls?

However, thinking about it, perhaps there was a middleman who earned the difference.

Thinking of how the sect had earned the difference in price when he was refining pills on the Nine Mystic Mountain of the Western Frontier, Han Muye looked at Shao Tianyi sympathetically.

He was also exploited.

“Give me a reason not to kill you.” Han Muye slowly pointed the thin sword in his hand forward.

A murderous aura instantly enveloped Shao Tianyi.

His arms trembled as he gritted his teeth.

Whether he would survive or lose his life depended on what he said now.

No one would care if someone in this dirty business was caught and killed on the spot.

In fact, the Life Stealing Tower wouldn’t even send people to collect corpses or take revenge.

Who would waste energy on the dead?

To such great sword cultivators, his death was nothing more than crus.h.i.+ng an ant.

If he wanted to survive…

“If I don’t die, no one in the Life Stealing Tower will come to kill you.”

Shao Tian stared at Han Muye and gritted his teeth.

He was gambling.

He was betting that a great sword cultivator like Han Muye would not want to be embroiled in trouble when he opened a shop on this small Firefly Island.

The Life Stealing Tower was located in the Three Palaces and Seven Pavilions. Today, if Shao Tianyi died, there would be other a.s.sa.s.sins coming for Han Muye.

As long as Shao Tianyi didn’t die, no one else would come for at least a year or so.

The sword intent in Han Muye’s hand condensed, as if it was about to penetrate Shao Tianyi’s heart.

The chilling power numbed Shao Tianyi’s limbs.

He closed his eyes slightly and waited for the sword to pierce his body.

When he completed the mission and fought with his companions, was it always like this?

“Clang—”

The faint sound of a sword being sheathed could be heard.

Shao Tianyi felt his arms tremble. When he looked again, his thin sword had been thrown back into its scabbard by Han Muye.

Watching Han Muye turn around and walk back to the Imperial View Sword Shop, Shao Tianyi heaved a sigh of relief and reached out to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead.

It turned out that he was also afraid of death…

He looked up at the Imperial View Sword Shop and squeezed out a smile as he slowly walked over.

Just as Zeng Daniu was about to close the door, Shao Tianyi stopped him.

“We’re closing today. If you want to buy a sword…” Before Zeng Daniu could finish, Shao Tianyi said softly, “Brother, I’m the shopkeeper’s new employee.”

New employee?

This palm-sized shop needs two workers?

Zeng Daniu recalled that he had made a mistake in his business. He was illiterate and had never seen the world. He was not even a cultivator. His heart was in a mess.

Am I going to lose this job?

By the time he woke up, Shao Tianyi had already squeezed into the shop and locked the door.

“Brother, my name is Shao Tianyi. Let’s team up in the future.”

Shao Tianyi looked around and his gaze landed on the blanket that he had just laid out.

Zeng Daniu scratched his head and muttered, “Don’t blame me for snoring…”

On the second floor of the sword shop, Han Muye retracted his spiritual sense and raised his hand to set up a golden array disc. Then he sat cross-legged and cultivated.

Shao Tianyi was quite smart. He knew to guard his shop and not give the Life Stealing Tower a chance to send more people.

The array disc was enveloped in golden light, and the spiritual energy in Han Muye’s body surged.

He was not far from Heaven Realm now, but his acc.u.mulation before Heaven realm was still not deep enough.

Lu Yang had forcefully suppressed his cultivation for a hundred years. When he broke through, he entered the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Stage in one day.

Even Qian Yiming suppressed his cultivation and soared into the sky.

Unfortunately, Han Muye did not have much time to suppress his acc.u.mulation during the hundred-year Dao Compet.i.tion.

However, he could try his best to increase his resources.

Spiritual light flowed, and the medicinal pills around him turned into nothingness.

These were all at least sixth level medicinal pills. Their quality was also extremely high. One of them was worth a million spiritual rocks.

One cultivation session cost nearly 10 million spiritual rocks. Only Han Muye could do such a luxurious thing.

Zeng Daniu and Shao Tianyi were in charge of the business in the shop. Han Muye only went downstairs to take a look every day before cultivating and meditating.

The spiritual energy on the Scattered Stars Island was quite rich and contained water spiritual energy, which was very suitable for cultivation.

Zeng Daniu secretly begged Shao Tianyi to teach him cultivation techniques. Unfortunately, he didn’t seem to have the apt.i.tude for cultivation and couldn’t sense spiritual energy at all.

More than half a month pa.s.sed since the Imperial View Sword Shop quietly opened. They did three business deals.

A mortal weapon was sold for 10,000 spiritual rocks.

Two low-grade spiritual weapons were exchanged for a bag of spiritual pearls and some spiritual herbs.

It was possible to barter on the Scattered Stars Island.

There were many such cases in the cultivation world.

When the third deal was done, Han Muye threw a spiritual pearl to Zeng Daniu and asked him to go home to visit his family.

For the better part of the past month, this fellow would sometimes hug Shao Tianyi at night and happily call him his wife.

Zeng Daniu happily hid the spiritual pearl in the corner of his clothes. Then he hugged the other small items he had saved and prepared to bring home and ran off.

On the Scattered Stars Island, a spiritual pearl was worth a thousand spiritual rocks. This spiritual pearl alone was enough for them to live for the rest of their lives.

“Shopkeeper, aren’t you afraid that he won’t come back again?” Seeing Zeng Daniu run away, Shao Tianyi turned to look at Han Muye.

“You can go too.”

Han Muye said calmly.

Shao Tianyi squeezed out a smile.

Do I dare?

In the afternoon, the light screen in front of Han Muye flickered with golden light.

He put away the disc array and went downstairs. Shao Tianyi hurried forward.

“Shopkeeper, this person is looking at swords in the shop and is asking if you can evaluate his sword.”

Shao Tianyi pointed at the green-robed old man standing in front of a painting and spoke in a low voice.

At this moment, the old man seemed to have sensed something. He turned to look at Han Muye and nodded with a smile.

“Are you the shopkeeper of the sword shop?

“Are you selling this painting?”
