Chapter 153: Finally Obtained the Spiritual Weapon, Qiankun Yiqi Bag

“This young man is actually from the Wei Mansion?”

Everyone was shocked as they watched Lu Qing’s receding figure.

They didn’t expect his background to be so great.

After the shock, they looked at the unconscious man with a mustache with eyes full of gloating.

This Chen Chailang usually ran rampant in the market, cheating and deceiving people.

He relied on his brother-in-law who worked in the County Magistrate’s Mansion.

Now that he has provoked someone from the Wei Mansion, let’s see if he can still be so arrogant in the future.

You know, most of the families and forces in the city need to be in awe of the County Magistrate’s Mansion.

But there is only one exception, and that is the Wei Mansion.

Not only does the Wei Mansion not need to be afraid of the County Magistrate’s Mansion, on the contrary, the County Magistrate’s Mansion needs to be courteous to the Wei Mansion in everything.

In front of the Wei Mansion, his brother-in-law who works as a servant is nothing. Even the County Magistrate has to be polite.

“What’s going on? County officials! Get out of here!”

Just as everyone was gloating, shouts were heard. Several county officials in official uniforms, led by the two former officers, came running in.

It turned out the two men had disappeared, having gone to fetch reinforcements.

Among the officials, they recognized Wang Yi, Chen Cailang’s brother-in-law.

Despite a look of disdain, they stepped aside.

“Brother-in-law!”

Wang Yi couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw his brother-in-law’s miserable state.

Half his face was swollen like a pig’s head, a shocking sight.

“Who dares to injure people in the market? This is a blatant defiance of the county’s decree! Show up right now!”

Wang Yi roared in anger.

Silence fell, no one spoke.

“Okay, so you won’t tell me? Then take them all back and interrogate them one by one. I don’t believe no one will confess!” Wang Yi shouted.

His companions were startled and quickly stepped forward to whisper, “Brother Wang, calm down! If you take so many people back, if this gets to the higher-ups, neither you nor I will be able to handle

it.” When the people around heard that Wang Yi was so desperate to arrest everyone,

they were filled with fear and anger.

Someone immediately shouted, “What does this have to do with us? The man who beat up your brother-in-law has revealed his identity, saying he’s from the Wei Mansion, named Lu Qing. Go find him if you dare. What’s the point of bullying us?” “

What? Someone from the Wei Mansion?!”

Wang Yi’s heart suddenly felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured down, and he shuddered.

Several of his companions were even more shocked and asked hurriedly, “Are you telling the truth? That man claimed to be from the Wei Mansion?”

“Why would I lie to you? That young man is dressed elegantly and has an extraordinary demeanor. It’s obvious he’s not from an ordinary family. Even if he’s not from the Wei Mansion, he must be from a distinguished family. Wang Yi, if you don’t believe me, go to the Wei Mansion and verify it yourself. Don’t wrongly accuse a good person here!”

The shopkeeper, who had spoken, was now desperate and spoke in a sarcastic tone.

Wang Yi’s face turned pale, his fists clenched, and he was speechless.

Seeing the situation was dire, a nearby companion stepped forward and said, “Brother Wang, this involves someone from the Wei Mansion, and we can’t handle it. The most urgent thing is, I think we should take your brother-in-law to the infirmary. After we revive him, we can then investigate what’s going on.”

Wang Yi took a breath, slowly unclenched his fists, and nodded. “That’s what we’ll do. Brothers, please help me carry my brother-in-law to the infirmary.” “

It wouldn’t be a big deal, but since this involves the Wei family, it’s beyond our ability to handle. I’m afraid we’ll have to report it to the higher authorities when we return.”

The Wei Mansion held a preeminent position in the county, and even the county magistrate had to show some courtesy, so they couldn’t help but be cautious.

Watching Wang Yi and his companions arrive with such a swagger and then depart in disgrace,

the merchants in the market applauded.

These officials had often extorted and blackmailed them, and now seeing them humiliated was incredibly satisfying.

Lu Qing was unaware of what had transpired since he left.

He was currently in a private room at a restaurant.

“Old man, come, have some wine and calm yourself down.”

After ordering a table full of delicious dishes, Lu Qing poured the old man a glass of wine and said with a smile.

“Young Master, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly. You are so polite, but it is really embarrassing me.”

The old man looked at the table full of dishes, but he was fidgeting.

Coming from a poor family, he had never been to such a high-end restaurant and seen such exquisite dishes.

These dishes before him, I am afraid that each one is equivalent to the income of his family working hard for a month, how could he dare to pick up his chopsticks?

If Lu Qing had not been dressed in luxurious clothes, saved his life before, and helped him get the money back,

he would never dare to follow him into such an expensive place.

“Don’t panic, old man.” Lu Qing helped Xiaoyan eat a piece of chicken before smiling. “I won’t hide it from you, I actually have something to ask of you.”

“Something to ask of me?” The old man was stunned, almost thinking he had misheard. “Sir, you’re joking. How can an old man like you help me?”

“Old man, could you please show me your purse?”

“Purse?”

The old man was stunned, then realized that Lu Qing was referring to the small bag he used to carry his silver.

Although he didn’t know why Lu Qing wanted to see the old bag, the old man took it out and handed it to Lu Qing.

He naturally didn’t worry that Lu Qing had any intentions towards him.

With that little money, he couldn’t even afford the pot of wine in front of him, so how could he possibly catch Lu Qing’s eye?

Sure enough, after Lu Qing took the purse, he poured out the small change inside and placed it on the table. He didn’t even glance at it, but just examined the purse carefully.

Upon closer inspection, Lu Qing immediately noticed something unusual.

Though old, the purse was remarkably resilient, without a single tear.

Furthermore, it didn’t appear to be made of cloth, but more like some kind of animal hide, with a faint, strange, natural pattern that was difficult to discern without close inspection.

After examining it briefly, Lu Qing activated his supernatural power to peer at the purse.

Soon, a faint purple light emerged from it.

[Qiankun Yiqi Bag: A low-grade spiritual artifact, crafted by a powerful individual using the skin of a space cloud beast as its primary material.]

[Containing the universe within, the bag boasts a vast space capable of storing items, as well as the ability to inhale and exhale clouds, breathe in air, and refine living beings.]

[The space cloud beast possesses innate spatial magical powers, and the natural patterns on its hide contain traces of the laws of space.]

[Due to the depletion of spiritual energy, its spiritual power has greatly diminished, and the spiritual creature has become dim, retaining only a fraction of its former power.]

Lu Qing was delighted to see the note emerging from the purse.

As expected, it was a spiritual artifact, known as the Qiankun Yiqi Bag.

And judging by the information on the note, it was also a legendary spatial artifact.

He was somewhat surprised to find that this bag didn’t carry any legacy, unlike the Lihuo Ding.

Even so, it was enough to surprise Lu Qing.

The old man across from him was bewildered as he watched Lu Qing turning over and over an old money bag.

He didn’t understand. It was just an old bag, what was so good about it?

“Old man, may I ask where you got this money bag?”

After confirming that it was indeed a spiritual artifact, Lu Qing suppressed his joy and asked the old man.

“I accidentally dug this money bag up while reclaiming wasteland when I was young. It looked a little worn, but it wasn’t tattered, so I took it home, cleaned it, and used it. It’s strange, this little bag looks old, but I’ve used it all these years and it’s never broken. It’s always been this way.”

At this point, the old man finally understood.

Could there be something special about this money bag?

Seeing his expression, Lu Qing knew he must have guessed something.

He said frankly, “Old man, to be honest, your purse is made of a unique material and could be of some use to me, so I’d like to buy it. I wonder what price you’d ask for it?”

“Sir, is this purse truly a treasure?” the old man’s eyes widened.

“For a cultivator like me, it is, but for an ordinary person like you, it’s useless besides just storing money,” Lu Qing said, hinting at something.

The old man immediately understood. This was something only martial masters could use, not ordinary people like them.

He said bluntly, “Since you like it, take it. It’s of no use to me anyway, not to mention that if it weren’t for you, I would have been dead just now. Consider this purse my way of thanking you for saving my life.”

The old man was no fool.

If this item was a treasure even martial masters coveted, it wasn’t something an ordinary person like him could keep.

It was Lu Qing’s good nature that led him to ask so politely.

Any other warrior master would have been lucky not to have directly snatched it; a more ruthless one might have even taken his life.

“Let’s be clear. This item is indeed useful to me, but I can’t just take it away for nothing. So, old man, take this ingot of gold. Consider it my purchase of your purse.”

Lu Qing pulled a small ingot from his arms and placed it on the table.

The gleaming gold instantly blinded the old man.

It was the first time in his life that he had ever seen such a large piece of gold.

But he quickly shook his head, “No, no, sir, it’s just a purse. You just saved my life, how can I ask for your money?”

“No need to refuse, old man. It’s a deal. I’ll buy you the purse.”

Lu Qing pressed the ingot into the old man’s hands without hesitation.

The old man tried to refuse again, but once the gold was in his hands, he couldn’t bear to let it go.

He suddenly thought that if he had such a large ingot of gold, many of the family’s problems would be solved.

He’d have a dowry for his granddaughter, and he’d have money to buy better medicine for his wife’s chronic illness.

He could even build two houses, freeing up the family from having to squeeze so many people into the tiny house, struggling to find a place to stay.

With this thought, the old man couldn’t bring himself to refuse.

Seeing this, Lu Qing knew the old man was tempted.

He smiled faintly, “It’s just a mere ingot of gold. It’s nothing to me. Old man, please accept it with confidence.”

Seeing Lu Qing’s sincere words, the old man finally accepted the ingot.

“Are you hungry, old man? You’ve ordered such a large table of food. If you don’t eat, it will be wasted.”

Seeing the old man about to accept the gold ingot, Lu Qing put away his money bag and smiled.

Since the old man had accepted the gold, he naturally relaxed his restraint when he saw the food and wine.

He joined Lu Qing in enjoying the meal.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Lu Qing personally escorted the old man out of the city. He even followed him quietly for a distance, confirming that no one was following him, before returning.

After all, a good man should always be a good person; he

didn’t want to be followed and retaliated against right after he escorted someone out of the city. Wouldn’t that be a double-edged sword?

Upon entering the city, Lu Qing’s expression suddenly froze, and he looked ahead.

Not far ahead, he saw a man walking slowly toward him, smiling.

He was a handsome middle-aged man with a pair of almond-shaped eyes that were particularly striking.
