Chapter 2929: Wooden Buddha
She wasn’t being unreasonable . The majority would give the same answer when asked who was the strongest right now in Immortal Lineage .
This seemed logical because he was the first to become a progenitor in this generation - completely unfathomable and peerless in strength .
Li Qiye didn’t bother correcting her this time around, only revealing a faint smile .
“Why are you smiling?” She was dissatisfied with his attitude .
“A frog only thinks the sky is as big as the mouth of the well . ” Li Qiye answered .
“So how big is your sky?” She retorted, furious .
“Boundless, exceeding your imagination so you can’t imagine it . ” Li Qiye leisurely said .
“Are you saying that I’m stupid?” She glared at him in response .
“I didn’t say that, although I would absolutely believe you if you were to say that you’re stupid . ” Li Qiye replied .
“You!” She almost vomited blood from anger and glared at him again .
Unfortunately, he ignored her and casually strolled down the street .
“Your commander is Tai Yinxi, right?” Li Qiye suddenly asked .
“Yes, and?” She angrily said .
“Nothing . Go tell him that I want to see him . ” Li Qiye replied .
This attitude rendered her speechless . He was treating her like a servant at his beck and call .
“Why should I listen to you? I’m not your servant or anything . ” She said .
“Oh? That’s fine . I’ll just go meet him then . ” Li Qiye didn’t mind .
“You think you’re a progenitor? Not just anyone can come and see our commander . He’s in isolated cultivation right now . Few actually get to meet him . ” She said .
“No problem, I’ll pay him a visit . ” Li Qiye added .
“You gotta be insane . Sky Pass is not the same as before, if you do anything stupid, our legion will surround you . And I’ll warn you now, it won’t feel good then . ” She gave him the side-eye .
“I heard that your legion is the strongest in Immortal Lineage . Let’s see how strong it is . ” He responded .
“ . . . . ” She became speechless .
“Why do you want to see our commander?” It took a while for her to calm down .
“Just want to chat with him for a bit . ” Li Qiye replied .
Bai Jinning didn’t know whether Li Qiye was crazy or just insanely egotistic . Not just anyone could have an audience with their commander . His nonchalant attitude about the whole thing was just too arrogant .
“You’re insane if you think you can go wherever you want in Sky Pass . ” She said with a mean glare .
Li Qiye only smiled and didn’t answer .
“Our commander will show up in a few days . ” She didn’t know why she wanted to help him: “There is a big banquet with numerous guests . Maybe I can get you a seat so that you can meet our commander . ”
She immediately regretted this potentially foolish move . To sneak a stranger inside? She wouldn’t be able to handle consequences if something were to happen . Alas, it was too late to take it back . She wondered if there was something wrong with her right now .
“Sounds good . ” Li Qiye nodded and accepted the suggestion .
His casual demeanor was simply infuriating to her . Did he not know that she was risking her life to do this favor?
“Don’t cause any trouble or, or I’ll be the first to deal with you . ” She gritted her teeth .
He answered with the same smile .
They have been walking for a while and just happened to come across a store with a display window .
He didn’t really care but the content of the store made her stop for a bit .
He walked several steps ahead before noticing and stopping to look at the dazed girl .
“Let’s go in . ” Li Qiye opened the door and was greeted by an enthusiastic worker .
Jinning regained her wits and also followed along . The two of them were next to the display window now .
“It’s not bad . ” Li Qiye knew exactly the item that stole her attention .
“Esteemed Guests, you have keen eyesight . This carving is in the form of Lankavatara Buddha . Our Shopkeeper has identified it as authentic . ” The worker told the two .
“I’m aware . ” Jinning jumped in .
The item on the window display was a wooden Buddha, small in size, and had a cute smile - looking quite merciful .
“Lankavatara Buddha . ” Li Qiye chuckled while looking at it .
“Yes . ” The worker said: “It has been blessed by Buddhist arts and able to expel evil and subdue fiends . It might come from the Buddha himself, a very fine item . ”
Lankavatara Buddha was a progenitor in Immortal Lineage, one of the few that didn’t have an official title . He started a temple with the same name at first . This eventually became an entire system .
For a long period of time, some said that only he could rival Desolate Saint in terms of illuminating and saving the people . His Buddhism affected many generations in history .
“Definitely high-grade . ” Li Qiye nodded .
It was clearly treasured by its previous master - shiny and clean .
“Would you like to buy it?” The worker asked .
“Yes . ” Li Qiye smiled, not bothering to look at the price .
“Are you crazy?” Jinning became startled and pointed at the price plaque beneath: “It cost 300,000 Eternal stones . ”
Her reaction was justified . This was a monstrous sum to her, not something she would even dare to dream about . She thought that he didn’t see the price .
“Oh? That’s fine . ” Li Qiye glanced at the plaque and still didn’t care .
Jinning was astounded . Not to mention regular cultivators, even the successors or princes of systems wouldn’t be able to produce such a large sum in one go . However, Li Qiye acted as if he was only paying three pebbles found on the street .
“Amitabha . ” Right when Li Qiye was about to grab the wooden Buddha, the threads of a whisker coiled around his arm to stop him .
Two young men were standing next to him now, both wearing the robe of a novice monk and had orderly dots on their forehead .
They had a bright glow behind their head, looking like two little Buddhas . Their robes were simple but still glowed all the same, making them look freed from a single speck of dust .
They looked very similar; one would easily mistake them for twins . There were distinct differences - the one on the left had long arms while the one on the right had big palms .
The one using a whisker to stop Li Qiye was the left monk .
“Amitabha . Benefactor, this wooden carving is connected to us through fate . ” The left one placed his palms together and told Li Qiye .
“What does that have to do with me?” Li Qiye seemed slightly annoyed .
On the other hand, Jinning was nervous and hurried pulled on his sleeve while whispering: “Don’t argue with them . ”
