Tianbao Pavilion stood ten Zhang high and consisted of five floors, its golden splendor was dazzling. In contrast, the prefecture city hall located not far from it looked incredibly simple, almost like a slum.
The grand entrance was flanked by two pretty maids on each side, their faces adorned with welcoming smiles for every custor. What shocked Xu Yan most was the fact that all four maids were Seventh Grade Martial Artists.
“If a small prefecture city like this has a Tianbao Pavilion of such grandeur, I wonder how magnificent the one in the capital city must be?”
Xu Yan couldn’t help but sigh in amazent.
He stepped towards the Tianbao Pavilion.
“Welco, Sir!”
The maids smiled and gestured him inside.
Once inside, Xu Yan looked around. A maid approached him with a smile, “Sir, may 1 assist you with sothing? Let guide you.”
Being an experienced attendant of Tianbao Pavilion, she instantly recognized Xu Yan as a greenhorn who was visiting Tianbao Pavilion for the first ti.
So, she promptly approached him to offer assistance.
“What do you have here?”
Xu Yan asked straightforwardly.
He did not bother hiding his inexperienced appearance.
“Please co this way, sir. This is the product list of our Tianbao Pavilion’s first floor.”
Guided by the maid, he ca to a counter.
The maid handed him a product list book.
Xu Yan began flipping through it. Various dicines, spiritual dicines, weapons, cultivation techniques and so on, all sorts of items required by Martial Artists were listed.
Upon reaching the last page, he did not find any Storage Bags.
Xu Yan closed the book and asked, “Don’t you have storage bags?”
The maid instantly froze, staring at him in disbelief as if he were so strange creature. She took quite a while to recover from her shock.
Martial Artists who were selecting items around them all suddenly looked up, their faces a picture of stupefaction.
Storage Bags?
Did this young man actually want to buy a Storage Bag?
Many powerful forces and even the Great Grandmasters could not afford them!
This young man truly did not know his place!
Xu Yan completely ignored these gazes, not blushing in the slightest. He firmly believed in one principle, you might not have money when traveling outside, but you must have thick skin!
Had he not been thick-skinned, how could he have succeeded in finding a master?
“S-sir, we don’t have Storage Bags here!”
The maid finally managed to respond, her face filled with embarrassnt.
The person who asked wasn’t embarrassed, but the one replying ended up feeling embarrassed.
“You don’t have them?”
Xu Yan’s face fell in disappointnt.
Although he couldn’t afford it, it would have been nice to at least have a look at it. But they didn’t even have it!
Such disappointnt!
The maid forced a smile, “Anything else you need, sir?”
Xu Yan took out five Spirit Crystals, his entire fortune gifted by Xie Lingfeng.
“I’ll buy so Spiritual dicine.”
After a mont’s thought, Xu Yan ntioned the na of a Sixth Grade Spiritual dicine, which was listed in the catalogue of required ingredients by Su Lingxiu.
The maid’s face darkened a bit, “Sir, we don’t have Sixth Grade Spiritual dicine here!”
Sixth Grade Spiritual dicine, what was he thinking, this is just a local branch in the Iron Mountain County, how could we possibly have it!
No one in the entire Iron Mountain County could afford it.
Moreover, how could he with just five Spirit Crystals think of buying a Sixth Grade Spiritual dicine?
“What about Seventh Grade Spiritual dicine then?”
Xu Yan stepped back a little in disappointnt and asked.
“No!”
The maid’s face grew even darker.
The surrounding Martial Artists looked on with strange expressions. Not only did this young man not know his place, but he also was incredibly thick-skinned!
“You must surely have Ninth Grade Spiritual dicine, right?”
Xu Yan displayed a look of helplessness.
It seed Iron Mountain County was indeed a poor county. The local branch of Tianbao Pavilion did not even carry Seventh Grade Spiritual dicine.
“Yes, we do have Ninth Grade Spiritual dicine.”
The maid looked a bit relieved, “May I know which kind of Spiritual dicine you want, sir?”
Xu Yan pondered a bit. Among the Ninth-Grade Spiritual dicines, one of the more expensive ones was a main ingredient used to concoct an Elixir of Youth, so he asked for it, “Green Yuan Fruit.”
Looking at the five Spirit Crystals on the counter, the maid smiled, “Sir, Green Yuan Fruit costs one hundred Spirit Crystals.”
“That expensive?”
Xu Yan’s eyes widened, “Are you fooling ?”
Su Lingxiu had told him many things, but she hadn’t ntioned the rough value of various Spiritual dicines.
The maid frowned a bit, “Our Tianbao Pavilion has an unparalleled reputation for honesty. We never deceive anyone, sir. Please don’t make false accusations!”
Xu Yan scratched his head, realizing for the first ti that he was quite poor!
He felt himself rich in the frontier, but after coming to the Inner Domain, he realized he was so poor he couldn’t even afford a single Green Yuan Fruit!
“Then, can you check what kind of Spiritual dicine I can buy with these five Spirit Crystals?”
Xu Yan asked, feeling downcast.
The maid flipped open the product list book, stopped at a page and said, “With these five Spirit Crystals, sir, you can buy a Water Spirit Herb, or a Bone Strengthening Flower. A Water Spirit Herb costs three Spirit Crystals each, while a Bone Strengthening Flower costs five Spirit Crystals each.”
Xu Yan was dumbfounded. Could the five Spirit Crystals only buy these two low-grade Spiritual dicines?
“That’s all? Only these two?”
He asked, feeling sowhat unwilling.
“While there are naturally more than just these two types of Ninth-Grade low-grade Spiritual dicines, our Iron Mountain County branch only has these two available. Would you like to purchase any sir?”
The maid asked, smiling at him.
“I won’t buy them!”
Xu Yan pulled back the Spirit Crystals on the counter, feeling utterly dejected, “I am too poor! I must figure out a way to earn more Spirit Crystals. Otherwise, how else am I going to buy Spiritual dicines to take back with ?
“Without Spiritual dicines, how will my junior apprentice sister concoct pills? How will my parents cultivate and improve their strengths?”
As for going out to find Spiritual dicines, it would require going to so desolate places. He did not co to Inner Domain for this sort of adventure.
After thinking over it, his only solution was to figure out how to earn Spirit Crystals, as buying directly was the most convenient and fastest option.
“Hahaha, look at this greenhorn. Doesn’t know a thing about the world, strutting around with his five Spirit Crystals, thinking he’s rich..”
