Adventure, Treasure?

Sigh.

When would a minor Nascent Soul cultivator like herself ever manage to stand out?

Jiang Yujiu sighed inwardly, yet on the surface, she continued to answer the viewers' questions one by one with a sweet smile and a melodic voice.

A senior sister of hers had once performed "breaking a boulder on her chest" just to gain some popularity.

Truth be told, she had considered that plan herself, but ultimately gave up on it.

What if she ended up shrinking because of it!

As she thought this, she cast an inadvertent glance to the side.

Hm?

That person carrying the water tank over there... that looks like Chi Jiuyu from the Sword Sect.

If she looked like Chi Jiuyu, she would definitely have a massive amount of traffic.

Of course, Jiang Yujiu was only imagining it; after all, impersonating that mysterious little grand-aunt of the Sword Sect was no different from courting death.

During the previous Immortal Sect Grand Competition, her own senior brothers and sisters had been hung up and beaten by that very Chi Jiuyu.

She stole a few more glances.

No!

That really is Chi Jiuyu!

An ordinary person might not have been able to recognize her, but Jiang Yujiu was a disciple of the Immortal Sect and a charm cultivator skilled in observation.

That unique, abstract temperament could only belong to her!

Chi Jiuyu was actually here, and she was with someone she had never seen before!

Her heart immediately began to stir; this was a perfect opportunity to leech off some popularity!

However, just as she took a step forward, Jiang Yujiu stopped.

Hmm...

Given Chi Jiuyu's style, if she were to just walk up like that, the outcome would likely be miserable.

She wouldn't hold back just because Jiang Yujiu was a charm cultivator from the Joyous Union Sect; if anything, she might hit even harder.

Because of this hesitation, Chi Jiuyu and Xu Xing had already walked toward the opposite side.

Seeing this, she gave up on the idea.

Forget it, forget it. I'll just stick to leeching off the popularity of the ancient cultivator coming out of seclusion.

Immediately, Jiang Yujiu flashed a charming smile at her phone screen: "Alright, everyone, I'm heading to the hotel now, so let's end it here for today~ (づ￣3￣)づ╭~"

Closing the livestream, she once again commanded her colorful mist and slowly rose into the sky.

Most of the people around her looked up, their expressions dazed.

Although they claimed to look down on her, how many of them hadn't "critiqued" her in private?

If people truly didn't watch, the Joyous Union Sect wouldn't be the most popular sect on the Central Continent.

And the one before them was a living, breathing charm cultivator from the Joyous Union Sect, not someone behind a computer screen. The last time she had seen a charm cultivator in Mystic Sword City was when the Mystic Moon Pavilion first opened.

Unfortunately, the mayor had "harmonized" them under the pretext of tidying up the city's appearance.

Feeling the gazes coming from all directions, Jiang Yujiu felt smug; this was the effect she wanted, otherwise, she wouldn't have floated up so slowly.

"Still the same old personality." Chi Jiuyu looked back and couldn't help but remark, "But she recognized me, so why didn't she come over to leech some popularity?"

Yes, she had noticed her just a moment ago.

"You were just waiting for her to come over so you'd have an excuse to deal with her, weren't you?" Xu Xing exposed her directly.

"How could that be?" Chi Jiuyu blinked with an innocent expression.

On the other side, Xiao Fan had just quit his job. Since he was a temp who hadn't even signed a contract, it was easy enough to leave.

He just felt a bit bad for Brother Li, who had really looked after him.

Walking through the corridor leading out of the park, he felt a sense of helplessness.

He couldn't return to school, and he couldn't keep the job; it seemed his only option now was to go back and continue his cultivation.

Suddenly, a well-packaged, exquisitely patterned, and rustic cup fell at his feet. It was printed with the park's logo and a cartoon image of a Blazing Feather.

It was a souvenir sold by the park.

There was a souvenir shop not far to his right, so it must have accidentally fallen out from there.

Xiao Fan bent down to pick it up, intending to return it, but the moment his hand touched it, an inexplicable tremor stirred in his heart.

This is a treasure.

A highly absurd thought, one he found difficult to comprehend, appeared in his mind.

"I must be going crazy."

He shook his head, suppressing that absurd thought.

This thing had likely just come out of a factory not long ago; how could it possibly be a treasure?

Assuming he had just been overthinking, he picked up the cup and walked into the souvenir shop.

"You dropped something."

There was only one salesperson in the shop, a shy-looking girl of about sixteen or seventeen.

"Oh! So, sorry, thank you for the trouble!"

"It's nothing, just a small favor."

Xiao Fan glanced around the shop. Aside from the few on the counter, there was a row neatly arranged on the shelf to the side, every one of them looking exactly like the one in his hand.

He really had been overthinking it.

Just as he was about to hand the cup back to the salesperson, a strong palpitation surged in his heart once more.

If he handed it over, he would regret it.

"I think this cup is quite nice. How much is it?"

"Eh, ah! This is five Five Spirit Coins. Look, the pattern on it is modeled after an ancient magical artifact..."

The salesperson began to introduce it in a torrent, losing all the shyness she had shown just a moment ago.

From the craftsmanship to the patterns, and even the cup's supposed ancient history, she managed to talk up an ordinary cup into a one-of-a-kind work of art.

"..."

No wonder she could be a salesperson here; her professional skills were truly solid.

Not to mention, after her spiel, even without that absurd intuition, he felt a slight urge to buy it.

But... he still didn't buy it.

It couldn't be helped!

Who told him he only had three Five Spirit Coins in his pocket, and they didn't offer discounts.

Sigh~

Five Five Spirit Coins.

Even if this really were some kind of treasure, it wasn't meant to be his.

After comforting himself with that thought, Xiao Fan left.

Watching him leave, the salesperson was a bit stunned. She had acted shy and then spent so long hyping it up, yet he didn't buy it?

Where did this poor guy come from?

After grumbling to herself, she put the cup back in its place and poured herself a glass of water.

Her throat was parched from talking; it really wasn't easy to earn money these days.

Just as she was grumbling and sighing to herself, another person walked in—an ordinary-looking man with a gentle temperament, wearing casual clothes paired with polished leather shoes.

"I want everything in this shop."

Huh?

Was he really that rich?

"Certainly." The salesperson beamed with a radiant smile and hurried over. "That will be 879,603 Five Spirit Coins in total. I'll round it down for you to 879,600. May I ask if you are..."

"Charge it."

The man produced a jade card with a small golden sword emblem imprinted on it.

Issued by the Sword Sect; imitation is welcomed.

"You certainly have a great eye. Every item here is..."

As the salesperson boasted, she took out a device and inserted the jade card into it.

A string of numbers immediately appeared on the device's screen.

Units, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten-thousands, brother, big brother, daddy, grandpa, great-grandpa!

The long string of numbers made the salesperson dizzy.

Where did this big shot come from?

"Is it done?"

"Right away, right away!"

Facing such a big shot, the salesperson didn't dare have any extra thoughts. After deducting the 879,600, she respectfully handed the jade card back.

"Then everything here belongs to me now."

"Of course, they are yours. We can arrange for staff to help you..."

"No need."

The salesperson felt a blur before her eyes. When her vision cleared, she discovered that the super big shot, along with every single souvenir in the shop, had vanished.
