Myriad Treasures Building

Upon entering the city, they were greeted by bustling streets, still lively even at dusk.

Like someone who had never seen the world before, Ye Xinran wandered and stopped at every turn, pausing to look around and join in the excitement wherever she went.

"Latest Eastern Domain Prodigy Ranking! Only one Low-grade Spirit Stone! Don't miss it as you pass by!"

As they passed a shop, a hawker's cry caught Ye Xinran's attention.

"Information Bureau?"

She looked up at the name on the signboard, deep in thought.

She then entered the Information Bureau, where a young man in white wearing a hat was calling out with a smile.

Seeing Ye Xinran arrive, the young man in white smiled. "Miss, have you come to feast your eyes on the Eastern Domain Prodigy Ranking?"

"Of course. I'm here to see who's closest to my back."

Ye Xinran smiled confidently as she took out a Spirit Stone and handed it to the young man in white.

At once, the young man handed her a jade slip.

The moment he took the Spirit Stone, he froze.

"A Mid-grade Spirit Stone? Wait, I'll get you your change—"

When the young man looked up, Ye Xinran was already nowhere to be seen.

In the void.

"Temple Master, could it be that the Young Temple Master can't tell the grades of Spirit Stones apart...?"

Watching her take out the wrong kind of Spirit Stone twice in a row, Shangguan Shi held back his laughter.

"Ahem, ahem." Ye Chang'an pretended to cough. "She should be able to tell... Perhaps she simply doesn't have any Low-grade Spirit Stones. Yes, that must be it."

Ye Chang'an had actually guessed right. Ye Xinran truly did not have any Low-grade Spirit Stones.

But what he did not know was what Ye Xinran was thinking: This big sister has plenty of Spirit Stones. No need for change. This big sister doesn't want it.

What he knew even less was that Ye Xinran had learned this from the storybooks he had given her.

On the street, Ye Xinran carefully read the Eastern Domain Prodigy Ranking in her hand.

"First place, Heavenly Extremity Sacred Land, Xuanyuan Hao. Second place, Lin Clan's Lin Tianci..."

"When the time comes, I'll see just how strong they really are."

Putting away the jade slip, Ye Xinran continued strolling.

Yet she had already committed those two names to memory.

"Help! Help!"

Just then, a woman's cry for help rang out.

Following the sound, Ye Xinran saw a fierce-looking man inside a restaurant tying up a girl of seventeen or eighteen.

At once, Ye Xinran rushed over.

"How dare you commit such villainy in broad daylight! Release her at once!"

Ye Xinran's sudden appearance caught the man off guard.

The bound woman's eyes lit up upon hearing those words, but when she saw that the newcomer was merely an eleven- or twelve-year-old girl, the hope that had just flared within her dimmed once more.

"Little sister, run! He's a devil!"

Before Ye Xinran could reply, the fierce-looking man leered at her. "Little girl, it's the middle of the night. What broad daylight are you talking about? How about you also—"

Before he could finish speaking, his head had already fallen to the ground.

The entire place fell silent at once.

Ye Xinran withdrew her right hand and smiled with pride and confidence. "I am the sun."

Inside a private room on the top floor of the restaurant.

An elderly man and a young girl dressed in a golden gown took in everything that had just happened downstairs.

"This... this is sword intent. Even a casual strike carried sword intent, and I cannot see through this sword intent at all. It is exceedingly mysterious."

Recalling the scene of Ye Xinran making her move just now, the old man said in astonishment.

"Uncle Chuan, you're saying even you can't see through that sword intent?"

The astonishment in the girl's eyes deepened.

"Mm. Twelve years old, at the Heavenly Spirit Realm, with extraordinary sword intent. Even in our Central Domain, such talent would rank among the very best."

Jin Chuan said in amazement and admiration.

"Uncle Chuan, how about we invite her up for a chat?"

"Miss, you wish to befriend her?"

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you won't have trouble finding it next time.

Jin Chuan saw through the girl's thoughts at a glance.

At this, the girl merely smiled and nodded.

Downstairs.

After accepting the woman's thanks, Ye Xinran planned to continue browsing.

Just then, a voice transmission rang in her ears.

"Little girl, would you be willing to come to the top floor for a meeting? My young lady wishes to speak with you."

Hearing the old man's transmission, Ye Xinran's large eyes rolled around.

She wants to talk? And this is how she invites me? Not going.

With that thought, Ye Xinran continued skipping toward the street.

Upstairs.

Watching Ye Xinran leave, both the girl and the old man were stunned.

They had never expected this outcome.

"She really doesn't know what's good for her."

The old man said angrily.

Yet the girl beside him could not help but nod and smile. "She's quite interesting."

Then she looked at Jin Chuan again. "Uncle Chuan, we did put on too much of an air. But she's interesting too—she actually doesn't have the slightest bit of curiosity."

Jin Chuan's expression remained unpleasant. "Miss, our Myriad Treasures Building is one of the top powers on the Heavenly Desolation Continent. This..."

"Uncle Chuan, she's still a child. Perhaps she doesn't even know about our Myriad Treasures Building."

Before Jin Chuan could finish, the girl interrupted him with a smile.

Jin Chuan said no more, seemingly finding her words reasonable.

Although that little girl had reached the Heavenly Spirit Realm, that was due to her high talent. It did not necessarily mean she knew much about the Heavenly Desolation Continent.

In the void.

Watching the conversation between the old man and the girl inside the building, Shangguan Shi said disdainfully, "Tch, a mere Myriad Treasures Building. In this era, they don't even have a single Emperor Realm expert, yet they're putting on airs."

"Little Ten, no Emperor Realm expert has been born on the Heavenly Desolation Continent in this era yet. But it truly is trash."

Ye Chang'an chuckled as well.

He was rather satisfied with that girl.

For a spoiled young lady, such a personality was quite rare.

While Ye Chang'an and the others mocked the Myriad Treasures Building, Ye Xinran had already arrived at a Treasure Pavilion.

Looking at the dazzling array of weapons, Ye Xinran could barely take them all in.

Every sword drew her attention.

In the end, she set her sights on a pale blue long sword.

"Boss, how much is this long sword?"

Hearing this, the shopkeeper looked where Ye Xinran pointed. "This is the treasure of my shop—the Frost Sword. It's a Heavenly Spirit Realm-grade treasure, and it costs at least five hundred High-grade Spirit Stones."

"So expensive? Forget it."

Upon hearing the price, Ye Xinran turned to leave on the spot.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper panicked. "Hey, don't be in such a hurry to leave! You can bargain."

"Lower the price?"

"That's right."

"One hundred Mid-grade Spirit Stones."

"Just leave. I'm not selling it."

Hearing that price, the shopkeeper refused as well.

"Tch, fine if you won't sell it. Because of you, it has lost its chance to ascend to the peak and make its name shake the continent."

"Wait, I'll take this sword."

Just as Ye Xinran was about to leave, a sweet-looking, elegant girl who appeared to be sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed in a golden gown, spoke to the shopkeeper.

And the sword she pointed at was precisely the Frost Sword.

As she spoke, she placed a bag of Spirit Stones on the counter before the shopkeeper.

Then, carrying the Frost Sword, she walked up to Ye Xinran and smiled. "Do you like it? Then I'll give it to you."
