Exclusive Identity Jade Token, Moon Gazing Tower

"You want them all?"

A trace of surprise was clearly visible on Xue Yuling's pretty face.

But she quickly replied, "Although these Second Order Hundred Arts of Cultivation inheritances are rather scattered, they still aren't something one can casually obtain elsewhere.

So if you want them all, Daoist Ji, I'm afraid it will have to be this much."

As she spoke, Xue Yuling held out one jade-like finger toward Ji Haoyuan.

"Ten thousand Spirit Stones?"

"That's right."

Xue Yuling nodded lightly.

Ji Haoyuan could not help but smile bitterly to himself at the sight.

He knew that these so-called Hundred Arts of Cultivation inheritances would not come cheap.

But he had not expected that even these relatively scattered inheritances of the Hundred Arts of Cultivation would cost ten thousand Spirit Stones.

Still, in this world, cultivation inheritances were the hardest things to acquire.

Being able to gain all this now was already quite good.

With that thought, Ji Haoyuan no longer hesitated and immediately completed the transaction with Xue Yuling.

Sure enough.

Earning Spirit Stones was not easy, but spending them took only moments.

On this trip to the Exquisite Treasure Pavilion, aside from the Spirit Stones he had earned from selling the Demonic Cultivators' possessions and the Earth Spirit Demonic Python's flesh, he had even paid out more than seven thousand Spirit Stones of his own.

Fortunately, he had obtained quite a few Spirit Stones from Sun Renzheng, Han Pengshan, and the two Demonic Cultivators.

Otherwise, after this, he probably would not have had many Spirit Stones left on him.

Of course.

Now that he had these Jade Slip inheritances, once he raised his artifact refining and other Hundred Arts of Cultivation skills later on,

earning back the Spirit Stones he had spent would not be particularly difficult.

When Ji Haoyuan and Xue Yuling came downstairs together,

Bai Qingshuang and the young man downstairs were both shocked to see that Xue Yuling, the manager of the Exquisite Treasure Pavilion, was treating Ji Haoyuan with extraordinary courtesy.

This was not mere polite formality, but genuine respect.

Though, on second thought, it made sense.

If someone completed a transaction worth over ten thousand Spirit Stones at your establishment in one go, Xue Yuling, as the manager, would naturally be extremely courteous to them.

"Oh, right..."

At that moment, Xue Yuling seemed to recall something.

She took an Azure Jade Token from her person and handed it to Ji Haoyuan, saying,

"Daoist Ji, this jade token is an Exclusive Identity Jade Token of our Exquisite Treasure Pavilion.

With this jade token, the next time you purchase items at our Exquisite Treasure Pavilion, you will receive a five percent discount.

More importantly, whenever our Exquisite Treasure Pavilion lists new goods in the future, we will send you a Message Talisman at once.

This includes news regarding Auctions and the auctioning of Foundation Establishment Pills."

That last point was the greatest value of this Exclusive Identity Jade Token.

Naturally, Ji Haoyuan had no reason to refuse.

After he and Bai Qingshuang walked out of the Exquisite Treasure Pavilion together, Bai Qingshuang tentatively asked Ji Haoyuan,

"Senior, may I ask if there is anywhere else you wish to go next?"

To be honest, the goals he had expected to accomplish on this trip to Crimson Cloud Immortal City had all been achieved.

Even regarding news of the Foundation Establishment Pill, he had gained something, more or less.

At this point, he could have chosen to return.

However, since he had come to Crimson Cloud Immortal City, there was no harm in taking a walk around and having a look.

With that in mind, Ji Haoyuan said to Bai Qingshuang,

"Take me around Crimson Cloud Immortal City for a stroll.

By the way, do you know of any trade gatherings or cultivator trade fairs here?"

"Trade gatherings? Cultivator trade fairs?"

Hearing Ji Haoyuan's words, Bai Qingshuang thought carefully for a moment before replying somewhat uncertainly,

"As for trade gatherings, I do know of several places.

But those trade gatherings are mostly for Qi Refining Stage cultivators like us. Very, very few people like you, Senior, ever go there.

As for cultivator trade fairs...

Senior, you mean trade fairs for cultivators of your level, right?

I'm really not too sure about that. However, I heard that cultivators like you, Senior, often visit Moon Gazing Tower.

I just don't know whether they go there to attend the sort of trade fair you mentioned."

"Moon Gazing Tower?"

Ji Haoyuan knew that the Moon Gazing Tower Bai Qingshuang mentioned was the most famous restaurant in Crimson Cloud Immortal City.

It was said that even the Golden Core True Person of Crimson Cloud Immortal City had patronized that restaurant.

It presumably did possess some uniquely outstanding qualities.

"Then take me there first."

With nothing pressing to do for the moment, Ji Haoyuan did not mind seeing more of Crimson Cloud Immortal City and learning more about it.

When Bai Qingshuang led Ji Haoyuan to Moon Gazing Tower, a young man dressed in the establishment's uniform immediately came forward to greet them.

"May I ask if you two have a reservation?"

"A reservation?"

Clearly, Bai Qingshuang had not known about this beforehand either.

Ji Haoyuan simply released a faint trace of his aura.

The young man's previously businesslike expression changed at once, and his attitude immediately became respectful.

"So it is Senior who has graced us with your presence. Please forgive this junior's lack of attentiveness. Senior, please come inside and take a seat."

As he spoke, he courteously extended a hand to invite Ji Haoyuan in.

Ji Haoyuan nodded, then led Bai Qingshuang into Moon Gazing Tower.

It had to be said that Moon Gazing Tower truly deserved its reputation as Crimson Cloud Immortal City's most famous restaurant.

Both its atmosphere and decoration were exceptionally exquisite.

Luxurious without losing its elegance.

When the young man brought the menu before Ji Haoyuan,

Ji Haoyuan gave it a cursory glance and could not help feeling secretly astonished.

Even the cheapest dish here cost around ten Spirit Stones.

Anything slightly more expensive cost fifty or sixty Spirit Stones.

One meal would cost at least a hundred or so Spirit Stones.

For something a little better, spending two or three hundred Spirit Stones was perfectly normal.

No wonder most of those coming and going here were Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Ordinary Qi Refining Stage cultivators truly could not afford to spend money here.

With that thought, Ji Haoyuan casually ordered four or five dishes, spending a little over one hundred Spirit Stones.

To him now, this naturally amounted to nothing.

But Bai Qingshuang, watching from the side, secretly clicked her tongue in amazement.

As expected of a Foundation Establishment senior. This kind of spending is truly beyond anything we low-level Qi Refining cultivators can compare to—or even imagine.

After Ji Haoyuan finished ordering, before the young man could leave, he asked,

"By the way, I heard that cultivators like me often come and go from this place.

Apart from providing food, does your Moon Gazing Tower offer anything else?"

Upon hearing Ji Haoyuan's question, the young man immediately seemed to understand something.

With a smile on his face but no lack of respect in his tone, he said,

"To be honest with you, Senior, aside from providing food and lodging, our Moon Gazing Tower also often hosts trade fairs organized by cultivators such as yourself.

As far as this junior knows, half a year from now, a trade fair for Foundation Establishment seniors will be held on the top floor of our Moon Gazing Tower.

If you wish to attend then, Senior, you may take this jade plaque to the top floor of Moon Gazing Tower."

As he spoke, the young man took out a yellow Token roughly the size of a palm and handed it to Ji Haoyuan.

Judging by his practiced movements, this was clearly not the first time he had done something like this.

Brothers, remember to keep following along. Whether this can go further depends on you all. Please, please.
