“Do I need to repeat myself?” Su Jingzhen asked, puzzled, as he gazed at the girl in the window, who looked dazed.
“Ah? Oh… please wait a mont, I’ll go get it,” the girl replied, her face flushing as she hurriedly got up to prepare the items.
It was clear that the girl’s mind had wandered off a bit.
Su Jingzhen didn’t rush her, though. Although they were in the first-floor hall, the transaction window was protected by the Treasure Gathering Pavilion’s array of forbidden spells.
The people queuing behind them might be close, but they couldn’t see what was happening here. It was like being in an open-air private room.
As for whether the people behind them were anxious or not, that wasn’t sothing Su Jingzhen and his companions needed to worry about.
“Heh, it seems like even without going upstairs, we still can’t escape,” Shuang Jiang suddenly chid in.
Just then, Su Jingzhen was about to ask what he ant, but his gaze was drawn to the window, where a beautiful scenery seed to have appeared.
A slender figure, with a gentle and elegant deanor, was walking towards them, her smile hinting at a playful mischief. It was none other than Feng Qingya.
Su Jingzhen’s expression was equally stunned. He hadn’t expected the girl to go prepare the items, only for Feng Qingya to appear instead.
Feng Qingya’s gaze also faltered for a mont when she saw Su Jingzhen and the others. Then, she broke into a bright, flower-like smile.
“I thought how could this small Linjiang City continuously produce excellent alchemists, and it turns out to be the two of you. Are you two not satisfied with the second floor? Why didn’t you co directly to find ?”
Feng Qingya walked over to the window, her gaze lingering on Su Jingzhen with a playful, teasing air.
The Treasure Gathering Pavilion girl behind her looked even more shocked.
“It turns out they know Lady Feng? No wonder…”
The little girl murmured to herself.
Su Jingzhen chuckled and said, “This ti, we need so ordinary items, and we didn’t want to trouble you on the second floor, Lady Feng.”
He was telling the truth. If they went upstairs for every little thing, it would be too much of a hassle. Su Jingzhen had always wanted to keep a low profile.
Feng Qingya smiled and nodded, not pursuing the topic further. A suitable joke could bring people closer, but overdoing it would be counterproductive. As she spoke, the blue gemstone ring on her hand flashed with a hint of light.
A pile of items was placed on the windowsill. Su Jingzhen’s requested dicinal materials were already prepared. There was also a white jade plate, which was likely the Green Spirit Pill formula. The rest were various magical tools.
There were swords, spears, blades, and halberds, as well as magical robes, shoes, and other items. As long as Su Jingzhen was willing to pay the spirit stones, he could be fully equipped from head to toe.
It was clear that Feng Qingya had prepared extensively after hearing that the alchemist wanted to buy these items. Su Jingzhen narrowed his eyes, and from this, he could see the extent to which the Treasure Gathering Pavilion valued these special professionals.
After seeing Su Jingzhen, her enthusiasm seed to rise even higher. “These magical tools, according to the master’s requirents, are all priced below 100 lower-grade spirit stones, but they are all high-quality. They will be sufficient for use in the Qi-refining Stage.”
This was the truth, at least these magical tools looked relatively new, and they all had corresponding array symbols engraved on them. They should provide a decent boost when used.
It was well-known that in Linjiang City, many cultivators, like Su Jingzhen in the past, were from poor backgrounds. They might spend their entire lives as cultivators and still not be able to afford a decent spiritual artifact.
Su Jingzhen picked up the magical tools, comparing them. However, whether it was a sword, gun, or halberd, he seed to be unable to find the feeling he was looking for.
At this ti, he couldn’t help but think of that night when he killed Lin Ping, and the wind-like sensation of his black brick.
He recalled the perfect hand feel, and when he looked at these items, they seed to pale in comparison.
Su Jingzhen chose a white magical robe and asked, “Uh, Lady Feng, do you have any thick, heavy, and honest attacking magical tools? Preferably sothing like a brick.”
He was straightforward, directly stating his request.
In reality, Su Jingzhen could have gone to a Linjiang City magical tool shop to customize one. However, the credibility of those small workshops couldn’t compare to the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
Doing sothing like throwing a brick was rare in the cultivation world, and if he wanted to hide his identity and do sothing, buying from the Treasure Gathering Pavilion would reduce the risk of exposure.
However, his request had left Feng Qingya stunned. “Magical brick? This is extrely rare… I’ll have to keep an eye out for it. If I find a suitable one, I’ll reserve it for you, Master.”
Feng Qingya’s smile hinted at a slight apology.
Su Jingzhen’s request for a magical brick had left her stunned, but she wouldn’t care about his peculiar preferences. The Treasure Gathering Pavilion’s motto was that as long as you had the money, they had the goods, and they wouldn’t ask about your motivations.
Su Jingzhen nodded, and this result was within his expectations. He casually picked up the white magical robe, and gathered up the alchemy formula and all the dicinal materials.
“Let’s calculate the total,” he said, and then took out the alchemist’s token.
Feng Qingya had ntioned that with this token, he could get a discount when buying from the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, and a premium when selling.
Although he had enough spirit stones for now, Su Jingzhen was accustod to living a hard life, and saving a little was still a good thing.
Feng Qingya smiled faintly.
“Earlier, Master, you paid for the alchemy formula with 140 lower-grade spirit stones. Since you’ve taken out the alchemist’s token, the Green Spirit Pill and Qi-replenishing pill, totaling 100 doses of dicinal materials, will be 90 lower-grade spirit stones. This magical robe will be 50 lower-grade spirit stones.”
“You’ve already paid 150 spirit stones, and you just need to pay an additional 130 lower-grade spirit stones.”
The spirit stones in his pouch were still not depleted, which was unexpected for Su Jingzhen.
However, this was even better, and he could settle the bill quickly.
The transaction was complete, and Feng Qingya smiled at Su Jingzhen and the others, saying, “Next ti, no matter what you buy, you can co directly to the second floor to find .”
“I’ll definitely do that,” Su Jingzhen replied, and then left with Shuang Jiang.
…
“This ‘Zhe ‘ is getting more and more interesting,” Feng Qingya chuckled to herself, still standing at the window.
A talented alchemist, who was also a novice cultivator, wanting a magical brick… Feng Qingya was really curious about what kind of existence this was.
At this ti, her distracted expression made the next custor who ca to the window stare in awe.
“Uh, miss, I… greeting…”
The nervous and stuttering voice brought Feng Qingya back to her senses.
“Little Flower, you’re next,” she called out to the previous window girl, and then left.
Not everyone was qualified to be served by her.
