Things are different now; Ye Li is now wealthy and powerful.
As long as it's not his mythical-level equipment, he can give it any amount of gold coins he wants.
Ye Li was worried about what to do with the gold coins in his spatial ring.
Ye Li took out 300 gold coins, wrapped them in a piece of cloth, and handed them to the old man.
The old man took the gold coin and carefully weighed it in his hand.
A barely perceptible glint flashed in his cloudy eyes as he inwardly marveled, "This gold coin definitely weighs over 10 pounds!"
Is that enough?
Ye Li asked.
The old man snapped out of his daze and nodded vigorously, saying, "Enough, enough!"
Then, he quickly handed the Eternal Pointer in his hand to Ye Li.
Ye Li took the pointer and examined it carefully.
The pointer has an antique brass color and is engraved with some mysterious runes and patterns.
The pointer is pointing south.
At the same time, all the information about the pointer appeared in Ye Li's mind.
【Eternal Pointer】
[Quality: Perfect]
[Introduction: This is a truly magnificent invention. Unaffected by any external influences, it guides navigators, making it an indispensable tool for seafaring.]
[...]
“That’s right, the old man wasn’t lying!” Ye Li tossed the pointer to Xiao Ai and said, “Just follow the direction the pointer is pointing.”
"Yes, Master!" Xiao Ai replied and continued driving forward.
Suddenly, the old man called out again, "Young man, wait..."
"Hmm? Is there anything else?" Ye Li asked.
The old man walked back to Ye Li's car window and said, "Young man, let me tell you something. There's a terrifying legend in this sea area..."
"A terrifying legend?" Ye Li frowned and asked, "What terrifying legend?"
The old man took a deep breath and lowered his voice, saying, "This sea is cursed with death. Every morning at eight o'clock, all sailors who go out to sea must pay a tithe, or they will be left in the sea forever and never come out again!"
"Tithing? What does that mean?" Ye Li asked, looking puzzled.
The old man explained, "Every morning at eight o'clock when we set sail, we had to throw a gold coin into the sea first. That's what's called the tithe. If you didn't do that, you couldn't even think about going out to sea!"
At this point, the old man sighed and shook his head, saying, "Before, some people didn't believe this legend and insisted on going to sea, but in the end, none of them came back!"
"Ah, this is the legend of this sea, and also the law of this sea!"
Ye Li clasped his hands in thanks to the old man and said, "I see, thank you for reminding me, sir!"
You're welcome, you're welcome!
The old man waved his hand, carrying the heavy gold coins, and walked into the city.
Ye Li watched the old man leave, picked up the screen, and sent a message to Li Qingge and Bai Yuekui, asking, "Did you encounter anyone trying to sell you the Eternal Pointer after you left the city?"
Li Qingge and Bai Yuekui sent messages one after the other, saying, "We ran into each other."
Ye Li asked, "Has it been changed?"
The two said, "We'll trade! It's not expensive, only 10 gold coins."
"10 gold coins?"
Ye Li stared at the message on the screen, feeling somewhat dazed.
He began to recall his conversation with the old man.
Trying hard to recall whether the old man meant 10 gold coins or 10 jin of gold coins.
"That damn old man!"
Finally, Ye Li confirmed that the old man had said 10 jin (5 catties), and muttered a curse under his breath.
