After some time, the shopkeeper came with the invoice. “Sir, here is the full invoice. Please take a look.” He was beaming from ear to ear.
Qingcheng scanned the invoice and said, “Your prices are considered reasonable. That will do. Please pack all the clothing for me.” She flicked her wrist, and a hundred gold coins appeared in her hands.
The shopkeeper smiled so brightly his eyes nearly disappeared…
“Thank you, sir! I’ll get everything packed for you right now.” He ran off after putting the money away carefully, and soon enough, the clothes were packed into two large boxes. Qingcheng put them away, left an address with the shopkeeper, then left the shop.
The shopkeeper watched the three of them leave, and he wiped off the smile and placating manner he had earlier. He now looked serious and collected. “When did such an impressive young man appear in Wei City? He most certainly did not draw these patterns randomly. This is really incredible! It’s amazing!”
The three of them left Embroidered Robes.
“Master, where are we going now?” asked Yan Xuan.
“Treasure Trove Court,” she replied.
The moment Yan Xuan heard they were going there, he said, “Master, Treasure Trove Court has a lot of rare and strange treasures, so if you take a look, you might find something you like there.”
Qingcheng replied, “That’s right. I do want to go and see if there’s anything good in there.”
The three of them walked to the front of Treasure Trove Court. It had been designed to look serious and luxurious, and Qingcheng could see that there was a protective formation around this standalone building. “Looks like this Treasure Trove Court is not simple at all.” The level of this formation was above her current capabilities.
They entered the main hall of the building, and the carvings on the pillars were incredibly stylish. Tealwood was a Magical Beast and was curious about these things but didn’t feel much of anything else. On the other hand, Yan Xuan had spent all his life in the capital of Weiyang Nation, but he had only had the chance to go there once before. All the treasures in this place were very valuable indeed.
After they walked in, a shop assistant immediately noticed them. A handsome looking man in a black robe came forward and placed his hands in front of him politely as he said, “Dear sirs, sorry to disturb you. I am in charge of bringing customers around. Could I ask if this is your first time here? Is there anything I can help you with?” His pleasant smile and polite words showed that this man wasn’t just any shop assistant.
Qingcheng glanced observantly at him, then replied in a flat tone, “That is correct. I’ve heard that your shop is famous throughout the continent and you sell many strange and rare treasures, so I came to take a look.”
The man replied politely, “I see. Why don’t I bring you around to have a look? My name is Chi Yan. How should I address you?”
Qingcheng replied, “Then I’ll have to trouble Mister Chi Yan to bring us around. I am Qing Huang, and these two gentlemen are my servants.”
Chi Yan smiled back and said, “You’re too kind. It is my honor to be able to bring Mister Qing around.” Then he led them around the display area of the first floor.
“This is the display area of the first floor. The things here include Dark level weapons, some rare jewelry, low-grade herbs, and more than a hundred other things,” Chi Yan said, introducing the various items.
Qingcheng casually walked around to look at the items. She didn’t lack any of these things, so she wasn’t too interested, while Tealwood didn’t care for these things either. But Yan Xuan seemed a little more interested in weapons, so he took a few extra glances as they walked around.
Qingcheng had noticed the slight change in Yan Xuan’s expression. “Do you like these things?”
Yan Xuan quickly replied, “Master, no, that’s not the case. It’s just that seeing these things reminded me of that sword that I chanced upon back then. Actually, that sword had run away by itself. I know it sounds very strange. I still haven’t figured out what happened, either.” His expression was filled with bewilderment.
Qingcheng didn’t show much of a reaction, but she felt quite excited inside. She thought to herself, “It could run away by itself? It’s sentient? That makes it a Godly level weapon!”
Even though she had guessed as much, she didn’t say anything. Chi Yan was still standing with them, so it wasn’t convenient to talk about this. She quickly said, “Since you don’t have a weapon yet, why don’t you pick one that you like? You are not to refuse it!” Her non-negotiable words made Yan Xuan shut his opened mouth once again.
He just looked at Qingcheng in a daze and nodded. His expression looked hilarious.
Tealwood couldn’t resist teasing him, saying, “Little Xuan, our master is very pretty, but you don’t have to go into a daze, do you? Oh, my, my. You’re beginning to drool already! Come, come, let me help you wipe the drool away…” Tealwood pretended like he was really going to wipe Yan Xuan’s face.
Chi Yan couldn’t stop his lips from curling upwards as he thought, “This master and his two servants are really interesting.”
Yan Xuan snapped out of his daze and pushed Tealwood away. “Non… non… nonsense! Stupid Tealwood! Go away!”
He knew that his master was a woman, and she possessed an otherworldly beauty, but he didn’t dare to have any designs on her because otherwise, he wouldn’t have the chance to follow her. Any admiration of her beauty could only remain a secret in his heart.
Qingcheng watched the two of them bicker, and it put her in a rather good mood as well. “Alright now, let’s go. Mister Chi Yan is still here, you know. Mister Chi, I’m sorry you had to see that.”
Chi Yan smiled faintly. “Oh no, don’t worry about it. I do think these two servants of yours are rather interesting. Mister Qing, if you don’t see anything you like on the first floor, we can proceed to the second floor to have a look. This way, please…”
The group came to the second story, and there were others around who were looking at various items.
“Mister Qing, this is the second story of the shop. The weapons and equipment here are at Treasure level, and there are also mid and high-grade pills, herbs, and more. We also have some precious jewels, rare protective equipment, a few low-level cultivation techniques, and some equipment refining materials,” explained Chi Yan.
Every now and then, someone would walk by and greeted him, saying, “Mister Chi Yan.”
“Mister Chi Yan, you’re here.”
The other staff in the shop also bowed politely to greet him with a “Mister Chi.”
This made all three of them curious. What sort of status did Chi Yan have within Treasure Trove Court?
After walking around half the floor, they came to the weapons section. Qingcheng looked at the weapons on display and realized that she hadn’t started trying to refine equipment yet. She simply didn’t have enough time. She had so much to do every day, she had to cultivate, and she couldn’t even squeeze a bit of time out to refine pills. She didn’t have any spare time to refine equipment as well. She had to wait for things to settle down before trying to refine equipment.
“Little Xuan, see if there’s anything you like here. You can pick one that’s suitable for yourself,” Qingcheng said all of a sudden.
Yan Xuan’s lips twitched when he heard this. Little Xuan… Well, whatever. If his master liked to call him that, then so be it! It was all Tealwood’s fault!!
He cursed Tealwood in his heart, then politely replied to Qingcheng, “Thank you, master.” He walked around once and finally stopped at a long sword. He stared at it intensely.
Since Yan Xuan seemed to have something in mind, Qingcheng walked over and took a look as well. “Not bad. It does match your general aura. The sword is gentle yet sharp. It’s very suitable.” She appraised it very sincerely.
After hearing these words, Yan Xuan looked back at the long sword that gleamed silver and white. The blade itself was thin and long, while the handle was a dark gray. Did it match his aura? If his master said it matched, then it did! He was gleeful for a while until he saw the price. “Master, this sword is too expensive! It costs 100,000 gold coins! I think… forget it. I’ll go look at something else…” This cost too much. One hundred thousand gold coins could buy two restaurants.
“It doesn’t matter, as long as you like it.” Qingcheng didn’t allow him to say anymore. “Mister Chi Yan, how do we go about this transaction?” she asked.
Yan Xuan saw how Qingcheng was insistent and accepted it. Since his master was kind towards him, then he was going to accept her kindness, and he was going to put in his best effort to work for her!
