Seven didn't reply to Li Xiandao's question and just took out a contract which she passed to Li Xiandao.
"Look at this!" Seven smiled and looked at Li Xiandao.
Li Xiandao looked at the contract and opened it.
'Ten Thousand Spirit Holy Land's 4th Sect Leader paid 10 million God Source to borrow 10 Spiritual Energy Dragon Veins. He will return it in 10,000 years!'
'Compensation price: Ten Thousand Spirit Holy Land will belong to the Bank of the Universe!'
These were the specific details on the contract.
But this contract had been signed 30,000 years ago.
30,000 years had passed and they still hadn't paid back the 10 Spiritual Energy Dragon Veins. They must have broken the contract.
Li Xiandao looked at Seven and said, "Is that person still alive?"
"He is, otherwise, I wouldn't have taken this out. I would have thrown the contract away when I was tidying everything up." Seven said.
Li Xiandao nodded and said, "What are these 10 Spiritual Energy Dragon Veins?"
"They are god spirit meridians from the Nine Lands and they're one grade higher than normal god spirit meridians." Seven explained.
"If you treat god spirit meridians as the God Source combination item in the Ten Lands, then the Spiritual Energy Dragon Vein is the combination of spiritual energy in the Nine Skies. One Spiritual Energy Dragon Vein can absorb spiritual energy to replenish itself and feed the sect. By placing down a seal to lock down a Spirit Vein, one will be able to obtain endless spiritual energy." Seven added.
Li Xiandao understood, "These 10 Spiritual Energy Dragon Veins are in this Ten Thousand Spirit Holy Land?"
"Yes!" Seven nodded and sat beside Li Xiandao. He pointed at the contract and said, "I think this Ten Thousand Spirit Holy Land has a good environment and is suitable for the Bank of the Universe to gain a foothold. This was why I took it out for you."
"Is the scenery good?" Li Xiandao asked. He had never been to this Ten Thousand Spirit Holy Land and didn't know about the specific situation.
Seven nodded, "30,000 years ago when the master before you took over, he signed the contract with this Sect Leader. I saw Sect Leader's design in Ten Thousand Spirit Holy Land. It was really beautiful."
Li Xiandao cursed, "That scumbag... The first contract was signed in the Nine Skies and he even wasted 10 Spiritual Energy Dragon Veins. I really envy him."
Seven laughed. Thinking about it, Li Xiandao's life wasn't easy.
His first contract was completed using 5 years of his own lifespan. Only then was he able to slowly strengthen the Bank of the Universe.
Compared to the last master, Li Xiandao's start was tough.
"How beautiful was Ten Thousand Spirit Holy Land?" Li Xiandao didn't want to talk about sad matters and changed the topic.
"Ten Thousand Spirit Holy Land is in the ocean. It is a dragon-like long island with hundreds of rare spiritual flowers. That place is near the continent. It's not too far away. It is really suitable for us." Seven replied.
Li Xiandao nodded. Hearing what Seven said, he was tempted too.
These grass plains were just too random and it wasn't suitable for the Bank of the Universe's identity.
Li Xiandao thought about it and said, "Continue tidying the contracts. I will head to that place myself."
Seven stood up and winked playfully at Li Xiandao, "Okay."
Li Xiandao smiled as he saw Seven leave. He took the contract and thought about it. He changed into a white robe and stepped out of the Bank of the Universe with an inked mask on his face.
It was already morning and the first sliver of sunlight shone down. It chased away the darkness on the grasslands.
Li Xiandao walked out of the Bank of the Universe and the first thing he saw was a pack of wolves that were tearing apart a wild cow.
It was a little gory to witness such scenes so early in the morning.
"These grasslands don't have any style and it's not suitable for Bank of the Universe." Li Xiandao frowned and muttered.
He stepped forwards and a six-star space crossing seal appeared. Li Xiandao rushed into the distance.
He brought the Bank of the Universe along with him when he left and he wasn't planning to establish the Bank of the Universe there.
....
On Li Xiandao's side, he was searching for a new location for the Bank of the Universe.
On the other hand, Qing Ling wasn't killed by Li Xiandao, but he felt worse than if he was killed.
He was being questioned by the head of the Qin Family!
Qin Kun went to be his guest and now that Qin Kun was killed and he wasn't, this was a huge problem.
Qin Family Head even wanted to kill Qing Ling to bury someone along with his son.
Fortunately, Qing Ling was an emperor aristocratic family too and didn't allow direct bloodline children to be killed. They agreed to trash Qing Ling's cultivation but they allowed him to live. They continued to question him about Li Xiandao.
The aggressive and valiant Qing Family 10th Tiger instantly fell to a piece of trash with no cultivation. One had to say that this was really ironic.
He didn't die at Li Xiandao hands. Furthermore, his cultivation was destroyed by his own family instead. All of this was done to suppress the rage of the Qin Family Head.
Qing Ling was abandoned.
He was dispirited and it was hard to describe his own emotions.
Li Xiandao's words had dealt a huge blow to him and he was prepared to recover confidence to work hard. After he returned, his family members didn't say a word and trashed his cultivation. They imprisoned him to be questioned.
The Qin Family Head looked on from above at Qing Ling. He didn't care about this so-called member of the 10 Tigers.
After forcing Qing Ling to say everything he knew, the interrogation ended. The Qing Family Head said coldly, "Your mistake caused the death of the Qin Family young master. You nearly spoiled the good relationship between our families. Now, I will destroy your cultivation as an answer to the Qin Family. In the future, you will just give birth to a kid for the family. We will assign you a wife."
Qing Ling's only use was to be a horse. If it wasn't for that use, he might have really been killed to suppress the Qin Family Head's anger.
Qing Ling looked at the Qin Family Head in despair. Disdain appeared at the corner of his lips. He was too lazy to explain. With such a father, no wonder he had such a lousy son. Qin Kun asked for his own death and now he was the one who was punished for it.
"When I capture that person, if he says that you were to blame for Qin Kun's death, don't blame me for being impolite." Qin Family Head didn't like his mocking smile. He waved his sleeves and said coldly.
Only
Qing Ling continued and didn't say a word.
A trash son... A father who protected the useless... what a bunch of nonsense!
"Scoff, even though you are trash, you still dare to behave so arrogantly. I really want to see how you survive your sad life." The Qin Family Head laughed coldly and left.
Qing Ling was then tossed into a courtyard. An old grandma served him. Not long later, an okay-looking girl walked in and said that she was his wife and that she wanted to give birth to a child for him.
Qing Ling stared at her coldly and she was so terrified that she didn't dare to get close.
"You are already handicapped and still so hot-tempered. If I wasn't instructed to do so, I wouldn't want to be your wife at all." The girl said in disdain.
"Then, leave. I don't mind." Qing Ling closed his eyes and said calmly. At this moment, his heart was empty.
