Fortune Pavilion was the largest merchant pavilion on the entire street nearby.
The moment Mo Hua entered, two beautiful maidservants bowed to him in greeting, their faces like peach blossoms and their figures like spring water.
Looking up again, he saw carved beams and painted rafters, with jade paving the floor.
Two pillars stood within the hall, carved wholly from raw Spirit Stone ore. One bore an engraving of the God of Wealth, radiating riches and splendor; the other was carved with all manner of treasure-gathering spirit beasts, auspicious cloud-fungus patterns scattered between them, their gleam dazzling to the eye.
Even Xiao Ju secretly clicked her tongue in amazement.
It was not as though she had never seen grand scenes before, but she had rarely seen decorations this "nouveau riche."
Ordinarily, great aristocratic clans, prestigious households, and recluses favored understated luxury and restrained elegance. They would not be so ostentatious.
But this was a merchant pavilion, open for business and seeking wealth to flow in from all directions. Naturally, the more extravagant and luxurious it was, the better.
Fortune Pavilion sought the wealth and glory of the mortal world.
Mo Hua brought Xiao Ju into Fortune Pavilion. Looking around, he saw a spacious hall filled with Spirit Artifacts, Talismans, Pills, and all sorts of cultivation manuals, Dao Method scrolls, and books—everything one could possibly need.
Fortune Pavilion was a major merchant pavilion that encompassed all things and sold everything. One look was enough to tell that none of its goods came cheap.
Not far away, there was even an exquisite flying spirit boat on display, carved entirely from refined jade, adorned with precious pearls, edged in agate, and spread with the pelts of superior exotic beasts.
One look made it clear that it had not been prepared for ordinary cultivators.
