Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Exclusive Identity Jade Talisman, Moon Viewing Tower
"You want them all?"
Xue Yuling’s charming face clearly showed a hint of surprise.
But she quickly replied, "Although these second-grade ’Hundred Skills of Cultivation’ are fragmented, they still aren’t something that can be easily obtained outside.
So, if you want them all, I’m afraid it will also take this amount."
As she spoke, Xue Yuling extended a jade-like finger towards Ji Haoyuan.
"Ten thousand Spirit Stones?"
"That’s right."
Xue Yuling nodded gently.
Seeing this, Ji Haoyuan couldn’t help but smile wryly in his heart.
He knew that these so-called heritage of the ’Hundred Skills of Cultivation’ weren’t cheap.
Yet he hadn’t expected that even these relatively scattered skills would require ten thousand Spirit Stones.
However, in this world, the hardest to obtain is the heritage of cultivation.
To have gained so much now is actually quite decent.
Thinking of this, Ji Haoyuan no longer hesitated and immediately completed the transaction with Xue Yuling.
Indeed.
Earning Spirit Stones isn’t easy, but spending them, well, that’s something that happens in a matter of minutes.
On this trip to the Exquisite Treasure Pavilion, besides selling items from demon cultivators and Kunling Demon Python meat, he had spent over seven thousand Spirit Stones.
Luckily, he had acquired quite a few Spirit Stones beforehand from Sun Renzheng, Han Pengshan, and the two demon cultivators.
Otherwise, he might not have had many Spirit Stones left after this trip.
Of course.
This time, with these jade slip heritages, he plans to improve his Artifact Refining and other skills of cultivation.
Wanting to earn back those Spirit Stones isn’t too difficult a task.
When Ji Haoyuan and Xue Yuling came down from upstairs together,
Bai Qingshuang and the young man present were astonished to see the steward Xue Yuling being extremely courteous to Ji Haoyuan.
This courtesy wasn’t just the usual politeness but rather genuine courtesy.
But then again, who wouldn’t be courteous when you’ve just completed a transaction worth over ten thousand Spirit Stones?
"Oh, that’s right..."
At this moment, Xue Yuling seemed to recall something.
She took out a cyan jade talisman from her person and handed it to Ji Haoyuan, saying:
"Ji, this jade talisman is the exclusive identity jade talisman of our Exquisite Treasure Pavilion.
With this talisman, the next time you come to our pavilion to purchase items, you can receive a 5% discount.
Most importantly, in the future, whenever we list new items, we will be the first to inform you.
Including news about auctions and the auctioning of Foundation Establishment Pills."
This last point was the greatest value of the exclusive identity jade talisman.
Ji Haoyuan certainly wouldn’t refuse this.
When he and Bai Qingshuang walked out of the Exquisite Treasure Pavilion together, Bai Qingshuang tried asking Ji Haoyuan:
"Senior, may I ask if there’s anywhere else you plan to visit next?"
Honestly, during this trip to Crimson Sunset Immortal City, he had basically achieved all his intended goals.
Even the news about the Foundation Establishment Pills wasn’t without some gains.
At this moment, he could actually choose to go back.
However, since he had come to Crimson Sunset Immortal City, it wouldn’t hurt to take a stroll and look around.
Thinking this, Ji Haoyuan said to Bai Qingshuang:
"Just take me for a walk around Crimson Sunset Immortal City.
By the way, do you know of any trading gatherings or cultivator trade fairs here?"
"Trading gatherings? Cultivator trade fairs?"
Upon hearing Ji Haoyuan’s question, Bai Qingshuang thought for a moment and then, somewhat uncertainly, said:
"As for trading gatherings, I know there are a few places.
However, those gatherings are mostly for us Qi Refining Stage cultivators, and rarely, if ever, does someone like you attend.
As for cultivator trade fairs,
Senior, what you refer to should be a trade fair for cultivators at your level, right?
I’m really not particularly sure about this, but I have heard that over at the Moon Viewing Tower, people like you often go there.
I’m just not sure if they’re attending the kind of trade fair you mentioned."
"The Moon Viewing Tower?"
Ji Haoyuan knew that the Moon Viewing Tower Bai Qingshuang mentioned was the most famous tavern in Crimson Sunset Immortal City.
It’s said that even Golden Core True Men of Crimson Sunset Immortal City have visited that tavern.
Presumably, there must be something unique about it.
"Then take me over there to have a look first."
Presently having nothing urgent, Ji Haoyuan didn’t mind spending more time exploring Crimson Sunset Immortal City.
When Bai Qingshuang brought Ji Haoyuan to the Moon Viewing Tower, a young man dressed in the tower’s attire immediately greeted them.
"May I ask the two of you if you have a reservation?"
"Reservation?"
Evidently, Bai Qingshuang wasn’t aware of such a requirement beforehand.
Ji Haoyuan simply let out a slight hint of his aura.
The young man’s previously formal expression immediately changed, and his attitude turned respectful at once.
"So it’s the esteemed senior who has graced us with your presence. I apologize for the oversight, please follow me inside."
As he spoke, he gestured politely, inviting Ji Haoyuan.
Ji Haoyuan nodded and led Bai Qingshuang into the Moon Viewing Tower.
It must be said, the Moon Viewing Tower is truly worthy of being the most famous tavern in Crimson Sunset Immortal City.
Both the environment and its decor are exceptionally exquisite.
Luxurious, yet still retaining elegance.
When the young man brought a menu to Ji Haoyuan,
Ji Haoyuan glanced at it briefly, and couldn’t help but be secretly surprised.
The cheapest dish here costs about ten Spirit Stones.
Slightly more expensive ones could be fifty or sixty Spirit Stones.
A meal here would require at least over a hundred Spirit Stones.
If one were to opt for something a bit nicer, it wouldn’t be unusual to spend several hundred Spirit Stones.
No wonder most patrons here are Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Ordinary Qi Refining Stage cultivators really couldn’t afford to spend here.
With these thoughts, Ji Haoyuan casually ordered four or five dishes, spending a bit over a hundred Spirit Stones.
For him, that wasn’t much at all.
But Bai Qingshuang, watching beside him, couldn’t help but be amazed.
Thinking to herself, it’s no wonder he’s a Foundation Establishment senior; such flair is beyond what us Qi Refining folks could even imagine.
Once Ji Haoyuan finished ordering, without waiting for the young man to leave, he asked:
"By the way, I’ve heard that people like me often come in and out of here.
Besides providing meals, is there anything else you offer at the Moon Viewing Tower?"
Upon hearing Ji Haoyuan’s inquiry, the young man seemed to understand something.
With a smile, yet maintaining a respectful tone, he said,
"To be honest with you, senior, besides providing food and lodging, we often have cultivators like you host trade fairs here at Moon Viewing Tower.
From what I know, in half a year, there will be a trade fair for Foundation Establishment seniors at the top floor of Moon Viewing Tower.
If you’re interested in attending, you can bring this jade token to the top floor of the Moon Viewing Tower."
Saying this, the young man took out a palm-sized yellow token from his person and handed it to Ji Haoyuan.
Judging by his skilled movements, it was obvious this wasn’t the first time he had done something like this.
