Suddenly hearing Zhu Fei’s words, the Dark Energy Martial Artist couldn’t help but give Zhu Fei a peculiar look, then he retorted, "Do you really not know where this is?"
Zhu Fei nodded, then saluted the man slightly and said, "I hope this friend can help clear up my confusion."
Seeing that Zhu Fei truly seed unaware, the Dark Energy Martial Artist didn’t say much else, but nodded and said, "It is no harm in telling you."
Then, pointing at the shop’s signboard, he said, "Look, you should have seen the inscription on that signboard, right? Yes, this treasure shop is part of the Treasure Pavilion, the largest comrcial guild in the Ancient Martial World."
At this point, the Dark Energy Martial Artist looked Zhu Fei over, seemingly recalling sothing, and then said, "From your appearance, you should also be a Martial Artist; you must have heard of the Treasure Pavilion’s na, right?"
Without waiting for Zhu Fei’s response, he continued to talk nonstop about the legends related to the Treasure Pavilion.
Finally, he said, "According to the Treasure Pavilion’s regulations, each of their branches holds an open day every month, specially to sell so rare treasures."
"Not only that, during the open days of the Treasure Pavilion branches, there are Artifact Refiners and Alchemists stationed to provide services for us Martial Artists."
"However, to attend these open days, one must possess a mbership card of the Treasure Pavilion. As you have seen just now, those of us without a mbership card have a hard ti getting in."
After saying this, the Dark Energy Martial Artist spread his hands in a helpless gesture.
Zhu Fei’s gaze flickered slightly as he asked again without a hint of change in his expression, "Then may I ask this friend another question—during these open days, what is the quality of the items on sale? And for purchasing items, can Huaxia Coins be used?"
Hearing Zhu Fei’s question, the Dark Energy Martial Artist gave him another peculiar glance.
However, he didn’t think too much about it and nodded straight away, "The items sold inside are of course good; so are even rchandise we usually don’t see."
"As for your question about paynts, Huaxia Coins can certainly be used, and so can US Dollars. But many people go there mostly for the Artifact Refiners and the Alchemists. After all, as you know, in our current Ancient Martial World, not many have these two skills..."
As he spoke, he seed to realize sothing, showing a surprised and questioning look again at Zhu Fei and the woman standing next to him, Qiu Ruoxue.
Just as he was about to speak, a sudden commotion arose among the crowd.
Just a short distance from them, three people approached.
Leading them was a proud-looking young man, accompanied by two Power Realm Martial Artists.
As soon as he arrived, many people recognized his identity.
"Look, isn’t that Young Master Jin Tao of Jinyuan Sect?"
"Yes, that’s definitely him. I heard he’s quite arrogant. We better step aside quickly to avoid offending him."
...
In no ti, a pathway was cleared for Jin Tao as the crowd discussed among themselves.
Even the man previously known as Manager Zhao, upon seeing Jin Tao, stepped forward with a smile to greet him:
"Hehe, it turns out to be Young Master Jin. Are you here today to request weapon forging or alchemy?"
Seeing Manager Zhao, Jin Tao slightly relaxed his arrogance and greeted Manager Zhao with a salute, smiling:
"Manager Zhao, hello. Today I ca to ask Master Chen to craft so Pills for . I have personally prepared the ingredients. Is Master Chen available now?"
As he spoke, Jin Tao discreetly slipped two Spirit Stones into Manager Zhao’s hand.
Manager Zhao saw the situation and his smile grew even wider, nodding as he said,
"Alright, consider it handled by ; I’ll arrange everything for you as soon as possible."
"Hehe, then I must thank Manager Zhao in advance," Jin Tao said with a smile.
"Mm, right this way, Young Master Jin."
Manager Zhao smiled, extending his hand and then personally led Jin Tao and his two companions towards the shop entrance.
...
"This friend, does Jin Tao also have a mbership card? Can one card really bring along two additional people?"
Zhu Fei, watching Jin Tao and Manager Zhao approaching them, quietly asked the Dark Energy Martial Artist.
Zhu Fei had already noticed the tricks played by the two n earlier.
However, these matters were of no concern to him; what he cared about now was whether the Treasure Pavilion had the items he needed and how many people a mbership card could admit.
"Hey, my friend, it’s not your first day in the Ancient Martial World, is it? How do you not know even this?"
The Dark Energy Martial Artist was obviously speechless at Zhu Fei’s earlier question.
Still, he finally explained to Zhu Fei, "I heard that regular mbership cards can’t bring outsiders, but Jin Tao seems to be very familiar with Manager Zhao, so this is how... hehe, I haven’t said anything, okay?"
This Dark Energy Martial Artist seed cautious about this topic, hinting discreetly to Zhu Fei without stating it explicitly.
Zhu Fei nodded, smiling as he said, "Mm, I got it, thanks for that just now, and actually, I was thinking of bringing you along..."
"Mm."
Before Zhu Fei could finish, his gaze suddenly darted towards Jin Tao and Manager Zhao who had just reached their side.
At that mont, Jin Tao simply stood there, staring blankly, his eyes fixed on Qiu Ruoxue standing beside Zhu Fei.
"Young Master Jin, Young Master Jin..."
It wasn’t until Manager Zhao urged him that Jin Tao snapped out of his daze.
But right after regaining his composure, Jin Tao didn’t imdiately follow Manager Zhao but instead went straight up to Qiu Ruoxue.
He looked at Qiu Ruoxue, dressed in a fresh and attractive outfit, and couldn’t help but reveal an intense gaze, smiling as he said to Qiu Ruoxue,
"Miss, I am Jin Tao from Jinyuan Sect, may I know your na? Would I be fortunate enough to invite you to browse the Treasure Pavilion with later?"
"Don’t worry, as long as you like sothing, I, Jin Tao, will definitely ensure you obtain it."
As soon as Jin Tao spoke, everyone around them imdiately "whooshed" away, creating a noticeable distance from Zhu Fei and Qiu Ruoxue.
They were all well aware that Jin Tao had a very poor reputation. Whatever he took an interest in, be it things or won, few could escape from his grasp.
The Dark Energy Martial Artist who had been conversing with Zhu Fei seed to be kind-hearted.
Seeing Jin Tao act this way, he imdiately pulled Zhu Fei and urgently whispered in his ear, "I’m telling you, my friend, Jin Tao is not soone easy to ss with. I think you should hurry and take your friend away now, or it might really be too late."
