Lin Feng showed no expression as he picked up a cup of tea before him and took a careful sip. A refreshing and delicate fragrance pleasantly greeted his palate.
Lin Feng placed the cup back down, addressing the Caiyi woman: "Your tea is indeed good, miss. However, I have urgent matters to attend to, so I won’t disturb you further."
The Caiyi woman quickly replied to Lin Feng: "I can see that the gentleman is not from Biyao City, and must have traveled from afar. If you don’t mind, could you tell what has you in such a hurry? If you’re looking for soone, perhaps I can offer so help."
The Caiyi woman was the Princess herself and it’s naturally a turbulent ti in Biyao City, so she chose to hide her identity. Thus, she initially didn’t ntion it to Lin Feng, but as he entered for tea, she closely observed him and deduced he wasn’t a native of Beijing. Carefully recalling, she couldn’t rember which family Lin Feng might belong to.
Hence, she determined Lin Feng wasn’t there to find her. If he’s looking for soone, it’s likely a woman. The white-clad young man in front of her must have mistaken her for the person he’s searching for, thus she openly offered assistance. Lin Feng, being new to the city, thought if he could get help from soone like the Caiyi woman, he might soon learn of Su Liqian’s whereabouts.
He then responded to the Caiyi woman:
"Indeed, I’m searching for soone, a young woman from the Giant Wood Clan with a similar stature to yours."
Upon hearing Lin Feng ntion the Giant Wood Clan, the Caiyi woman was a bit startled. She thought about how the Giant Wood Clan had just helped the Human Realm fend off the Archaic Army, and felt increased determination to help Lin Feng in his search.
Receiving assistance from the Caiyi woman, Lin Feng’s heart gradually settled.
After further conversation between Lin Feng and the Caiyi woman, she promised to use her resources and influence in the city to help Lin Feng uncover Su Liqian’s whereabouts. However, she still didn’t reveal her identity as the Court’s Princess to Lin Feng, who continued to believe she was rely a noble young lady from Beijing.
Lin Feng departed the residence, and the Caiyi woman saw him off. He hadn’t walked far before encountering a confused Qian Hua. Lin Feng stopped and called out:
"Where are you headed, boy?"
His tone was bland, seemingly teasing.
Qian Hua, upon hearing Lin Feng’s voice, imdiately halted. He took several deep breaths and replied: "It’s wonderful to find you! Let’s continue looking for your wife."
Lin Feng responded: "Co with to a place, I have another task for you."
Upon hearing this, Qian Hua earnestly replied: "Alright."
However, he truly didn’t understand why Lin Feng was urgently looking for soone and then appeared occupied with sothing else. With this thought, Qian Hua shook his head in confusion.
Subsequently, Lin Feng led Qian Hua to the entrance of a mysterious store, guarded by two attendants. Lin Feng had heard from the Caiyi woman that this place was frequented by visitors, so he took Qian Hua there to check it out.
He hoped to encounter Su Liqian there or gather relevant clues. Lin Feng believed Su Liqian must have been taken or faced so unexpected incident; otherwise, why would she pass through Ping City without contacting him first?
The two arrived at the store’s entrance, and Qian Hua asked Lin Feng: "What kind of place is this, could there be any leads here?"
Lin Feng didn’t answer, instead advancing toward the store’s interior.
The two attendants imdiately stepped forward to block Lin Feng, saying: "Are you intending to enter the store? You must demonstrate your capability before entering our Six Realms Treasure Pavilion."
Qian Hua gaped, saying: "What! You need to show your capability just to enter this place..."
The attendants laughed, saying: "We see you both are travelers. Our Treasure Pavilion offers storage of items or certificates for passage, providing a plethora of Immortal Pills, Immortal Elixirs, and handling tasks issued by sects or individuals. Our Six Realms Treasure Pavilion is omnipotent and universal; if you can afford it, there’s nothing we can’t manage."
Listening to the attendants expound on the "Six Realms Treasure Pavilion" and its magnificence, Qian Hua felt increasingly indignant, defiantly retorting: "I’ve seen braggers before, but never anyone boasting as much as you! Hahaha."
The attendant, offended by Qian Hua’s rudeness, said angrily: "Humph! With an attitude like yours, you’re unworthy of entering our Six Realms Treasure Pavilion. Leave now."
Just then, a refined young man erged from the store, exhibiting a graceful and exceptional deanor. As he walked, he waved his folded fan, addressing Qian Hua and Lin Feng:
"Hahaha, our Six Realms Treasure Pavilion has existed in the Human Realm for a thousand years. I see you, young man, must be in your early twenties—and likely visiting such a bustling city for the first ti. Not understanding our pavilion’s reputation isn’t surprising."
Confronted with the eloquent young man, Qian Hua could only grumble, feeling unheard. Though young, he’d witnessed grandeur, especially due to his experience battling in the desert. Despite this, worldly affairs remained foreign to him, inducing sha and making him lower his head.
Lin Feng stepped forward and said: "You jest, sir. The Six Realms Treasure Pavilion is renowned; though we are ignorant, we do know of it. We’re here for a specific purpose and wonder if you welco our visit."
The refined young man noticed Lin Feng’s manner and recognized his quality, replying:
"Entering our Six Realms Treasure Pavilion is simple. You need only ignite this entrance stone lamp, then you may enter freely. Without this capability, wealth is irrelevant."
Qian Hua questioned them: "This simple task will suffice?"
While the refined young man spoke, Qian Hua had already approached the stone lamp and ignited it. Both attendants watched wide-eyed, astounded.
Only those above Six Spirit Knot can ignite that stone lamp, marking them as true experts here.
However, the refined young man wasn’t surprised, understanding it’s rely a formality, regardless of visitors’ strength.
"I apologize for our formality; it’s a customary practice."
Without further comnt, Lin Feng entered the store, followed by Qian Hua, leaving the two attendants dumbfounded.
"This Six Realms Treasure Pavilion is indeed marvelous; once inside, the items displayed are treasures of the Fifth Rank and above."
Admiring the rare treasures laid out, Lin Feng praised them, hoping they could aid in finding soone.
Led upstairs by the refined young man, Lin Feng arrived in a more elegantly arranged suite.
This space, compared to others, featured exquisite décor, including ceramics produced in the Human Realm and imported golden artifacts from the Jiuxiao Realm, all exuding a unique nobility.
Visitors naturally fell under its influence, creating a refined atmosphere.
Yet, Qian Hua remained unfazed and inquisitive, quickly exploring and fiddling with the items.
"I wonder, how much gold was used for this Golden Toad?"
Qian Hua asked the refined young man while continuing to examine the object.
The refined young man responded: "That’s not rely a toad; it can answer any question."
Qian Hua was amazed, "Any question..."
Such capability was beyond his imagination. He then asked the refined young man: "Could I ask how long soone might have left to live, and this toad would know?"
