Although he had failed to obtain the final rare material needed to refine the Blazing Sun Pearl at the exchange, being able to trade for the equally hard-to-find Universe Stone was still an enormous stroke of luck for Qin Fengming.
He went straight into Yunxiang Residence and, led by the Foundation Establishment cultivator he had met before, proceeded directly to a private room on the second floor.
Qin Fengming knew that drinking in the scattered seats below cost no spirit stones, but merely coming up to the second floor required paying two hundred spirit stones.
Thus, as soon as he sat down, Qin Fengming handed three hundred spirit stones to the Foundation Establishment cultivator. "Fellow Daoist, this old man will drink and rest here alone. Sorry for the trouble."
The Foundation Establishment cultivator was exceedingly shrewd. After accepting the spirit stones, he immediately bowed obsequiously and withdrew from the private room.
At this time, the auction had just ended, and quite a few Nascent Soul cultivators had arrived at Yunxiang Residence. They all wanted to sample the demonic beast dishes prepared there again. Thus, before long, all the more than twenty elegant private rooms on the second floor were occupied.
Qin Fengming had come to Yunxiang Residence for no other reason than that he knew the second floor was equipped with extremely powerful restrictions that blocked divine sense probing. Even the adjacent private rooms could not be investigated in the slightest.
Thus, upon entering the private room, he changed his appearance and put on a set of gray robes.
At the exchange, he had brought out a fifteen-thousand-year-old spirit herb to trade. This matter would inevitably draw the attention of ill-intentioned cultivators. Since he had been able to produce one herb, it was possible that he had another on him.
