Treasure Appraisal Fair

"Does this Treasure Appraisal Fair have different tiers?"

Ji Siyuan was unaware of the nuances involved.

Bei Bei took it upon himself to explain: "To be precise, the place you want to go cannot be called a Treasure Appraisal Fair; it is simply the Treasure Pavilion. Most of the time, the Treasure Appraisal Fair is an event for core disciples, and invitations are issued specifically to them."

Seeing the three of them lost in thought, Bei Bei did not dampen their spirits: "Even when it isn't the period for the Treasure Appraisal Fair, the Treasure Pavilion still holds many items. It would be good for you to go and take a look."

Some resources are best used as early as possible; holding onto millions of Gold Soul Coins in their hands served no purpose and would only become objects of envy for others. It was better to use them sooner.

After hearing their discussion, Xuan Zi said: "The academy will be holding a Treasure Appraisal Fair. You can wait two days."

Once these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.

It was obvious that this Treasure Appraisal Fair was being held specifically for the three of them.

Having high talent and connections meant exactly this; they had decided to attend the fair, and it would be held in the near future.

The opportunities you think you've found are merely fortuitous encounters arranged by those above.

However, this matter could not be made too obvious; they still needed a fair number of high-quality items to serve as a facade.

After the banquet ended and everyone bid farewell to Xuan Zi, they prepared to return to the dormitory building together.

Along the way, Huo Yuhao remained silent.

"What's wrong?" Ji Siyuan carefully pulled him aside and asked in a low voice.

"Siyuan, if the academy gives us whatever we ask for, isn't this kind of treatment unfair to the other students?"

Ji Siyuan certainly understood that this was unfair, but absolute fairness was impossible in this world; that would be unfair to those with high talent. "As a beneficiary, you might feel uncomfortable with me saying this. Yuhao, let me ask you: if Dai Huabin were given the same treatment as me, would you think that was normal?"

Huo Yuhao immediately retorted, as Dai Huabin was nothing and hardly deserved to be on his level: "That definitely wouldn't be right. Siyuan, your talent is so much higher than his; wouldn't giving the same resources to Dai Huabin just be a waste?"

"Exactly, that is the reason."

Throughout the journey, there was no need for consolation; Huo Yuhao was able to figure it out on his own. Upon reaching the dormitory building, Ji Siyuan, Huo Yuhao, and Wang Dong'er were called over by Mu En.

And it was there that Huo Yuhao witnessed what true unfairness looked like.

"So many good things?" The resources he received were exactly the same as Ji Siyuan's. Although Huo Yuhao was not his equal in terms of absolute Martial Soul talent, he currently possessed Twin Martial Souls and an Ultimate Martial Soul, giving him a higher baseline than Ji Siyuan's public persona. Coupled with his talent as a Soul Tool master, it was understandable that they were placed in the same tier.

"Siyuan, which one do you want?" Huo Yuhao did not choose to use them himself, but instead asked which one Ji Siyuan wanted first.

Ji Siyuan had already used many of these items, and the effects were not as potent as the first time, so he only took a few.

Huo Yuhao was slightly unhappy with Ji Siyuan's choice. He felt that he had already used many of Ji Siyuan's resources, and without Ji Siyuan, he would never have obtained these.

"Cultivate well and take your revenge as soon as possible." Ji Siyuan sat on the bed and began to circulate his energy, eight Lotus Seeds hovering in the air.

This sight made Huo Yuhao's heart ache. He then consciously climbed onto Ji Siyuan's bed.

They utilized their Martial Soul Fusion Skill to cultivate together, the fusion of ice and fire further accelerating their cultivation speed.

For several days, they waited for that invitation to the core disciple Treasure Appraisal Fair.

During these few days, Huo Yuhao successfully reached level 26, surpassing Ji Siyuan in cultivation for the first time. Before he could even enjoy it for two days, Ji Siyuan reached level 26 on the very day they received the invitation.

"Siyuan, is your cultivation speed a bit too fast?" Huo Yuhao lay on the table, looking at Ji Siyuan.

"I ate some of your fruit the day before yesterday, and the medicinal power has been refined by me," Ji Siyuan answered very seriously.

Compared to Ji Siyuan, Huo Yuhao's constitution was still lacking; his refining speed was inferior to Ji Siyuan's, and he required time intervals between doses.

A knock-knock-knock sound echoed at the door; there was no need to guess that it was Wang Dong'er.

"The Treasure Appraisal Fair is hosted by the Treasure Pavilion; the location is on the invitation, let's go." The three of them took out the stored-value card that had been silent for over a month: "Let's go."

The three walked side by side, as naturally as if they were just looking for a place to eat.

The location of the Treasure Pavilion was relatively remote, but fortunately, they had made preparations in advance and had brought along speed-enhancing Soul Tools.

Once they got close, the Treasure Pavilion was very easy to recognize; it covered a huge area, stood four stories and over twenty meters tall, and had a magnificent, golden exterior.

Walking to the entrance, there were four young women in long dresses greeting guests on both sides. They were seventeen or eighteen years old, with clear and beautiful features, quite a sight to behold.

As it turned out, he just took a step forward, and the two people beside him not only cast their gazes over but also reached out.

Huo Yuhao was still relatively normal, just grabbing him with his hand, but Wang Dong'er went straight to pinching him.

"No, what are you two doing?"

Wang Dong'er glared at him fiercely: "What do you want to do? Are you trying to ask for their names and where they live?"

Huo Yuhao: "Siyuan, you need to calm down. We are still young."

Ji Siyuan felt very innocent; these young women were just responsible for greeting guests, and the entrance was right there, so where else could he go?

One of the young women stepped out and said respectfully: "Are the three of you also here to attend the Treasure Appraisal Fair?"

Ji Siyuan rubbed the spot where Wang Dong'er had pinched him: "You two need to respect other people's work." After saying this, he handed over the invitation and let the girl in the white dress lead them into the fair.

Walking into the Treasure Pavilion, the interior was even more extravagant, with crystal chandeliers that had been bright for centuries illuminating the surroundings.

On both sides were even younger girls dressed in golden short skirts. Seeing the three of them, they called out in unison: "Welcome."

"Their age, height, and figure are all about the same; to be able to find so many, it really is extravagant." Before he could finish his lament, his vision went dark.

The two of them blocked his line of sight in perfect unison, even covering his eyes.

"Don't look!"

Ji Siyuan felt even more miserable: "What do you mean don't look? We came here to buy things; what kind of situation is it if you block my view and won't let me see anything?"

The child was in agony. The two of them weren't tormenting each other, so they ended up taking it all out on him instead.

Fortunately, the young greeter girls were well-trained and quickly led them up to the second floor, where there were far fewer attendants.

Only then did Ji Siyuan regain his sight.

The second floor was much quieter, but the items were no less numerous, and their quality was exceptionally high.

Right at the entrance lay three spirit bones; it was obvious they were prepared for the three of them.

The girl in the white dress guiding them said: "Welcome, three honored guests, to the Treasure Pavilion. The Treasure Appraisal Fair is held on the second floor, and you are free to browse as you wish. If you find any items you fancy, you may register them for purchase. If you require credit, you may request an appraisal at the same location. The results of the appraisal will affect the discounts and credit limits you are entitled to."

"We will evaluate and formulate different levels of treatment based on the specific circumstances of our guests. The details will be kept strictly confidential and will never be leaked."

The two of them looked at Ji Siyuan, waiting for him to make the decision.

"Let's go take a look. Honestly, this place is likely an industry owned by the school. There's no need to worry about safety." Ji Siyuan possessed a certain God's Eye View and was aware of this.

Wang Dong'er let out a cold snort: "I'm not worried about safety; I'm worried about someone getting so distracted they forget to leave."

Why was there an attack coming from this direction?

Ji Siyuan: "Let's go get our appraisal first."
