Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion
Sang Ying had no idea what Su Fuyun was planning.
After leaving the dock, she went back to her residence to prepare for her trip to Gleaming Gold Island in a few days.
Although Gleaming Gold Island is an island in the sea, it is mostly inhabited by Fire Element and Metal Element Demon Beast, which counteract her. It can be said that danger and opportunity coexist.
Sang Ying already had many pills given to her by Nan Gurong, so she didn't need to prepare any more in that regard. As for array formations, she already knew how to do them, and the array plates her mother made were all in her Storage Bag. So, she only needed to prepare some talismans, and that would be enough to make things safe.
She made a simple list of what she needed to buy, and just needed to get everything ready before leaving the house the next day.
By the time Sang Ying snapped out of her work at her desk, the sun was already setting.
Just then, a knock came at the door, and Sang Ying got up to open it.
"Fairy, I've brought you porridge!" A fresh, youthful face appeared in sight. Xiao Liu was holding a wooden lunchbox, presenting it to her like a treasure.
A faint aroma soon wafted from the lunchbox, and smelling the food, Sang Ying suddenly felt a little hungry.
She welcomed Xiao Liu in and led him through the Mystifying Formation outside.
Xiao Liu diligently laid out a table full of porridge and side dishes before urging, "Hurry and try some, fairy! My mother even made some special side dishes to go with the porridge for you!"
Sang Ying didn't stand on ceremony with him and quickly picked up a spoon to take a bite.
Just as Xiao Liu had said, the porridge was fragrant and the fish was delicious. There wasn't a single bone in it, which made Sang Ying, who doesn't like picking out bones, feel very comfortable eating it.
Before she had even finished her bowl of porridge, Xiao Liu exclaimed in surprise, "Fairy, the Spiritual Qi in this courtyard is so dense! It's like there's Spirit Gathering Formation!"
He took a deep breath, his little face filled with amazement.
"You're quite perceptive," Sang Ying complimented.
Xiao Liu's eyes widened immediately. "So, there really is Spirit Gathering Formation in this courtyard? Is the fairy a master of arrays?!"
"I'm not a master of array formations, I just know a little about them." After quickly finishing a bowl of fish porridge, Sang Ying patiently explained to Xiao Liu.
I thought that Xiao Liu would ask more questions after hearing Sang Ying admit it, but he just exclaimed a few times and then stopped.
This surprised Sang Ying somewhat.
When Lao Liu came to help Sang Ying clear the table, she remembered that he was a native of Haizhou City, so she casually asked, "Xiao Liu, do you know where is the best place to buy talismans and Law Artifact?"
Xiao Liu's eyes lit up instantly. "You've come to the right person! I know these places in the city best! There are two places in Haizhou City that sell these things: Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion and Idle Cloud Pavilion. The latter is specifically for Rogue Cultivator like us, and they usually sell low-level Law Artifact and talismans made by apprentices, or even semi-finished products."
As Xiao Liu spoke, he drew a simple route map for Sang Ying.
"Someone like you, Fairy, should definitely go to the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. They have connections with the city lord, so they sell a wide variety of the latest and greatest. As long as you don't look at the prices, you're guaranteed to find something you like!"
Sang Ying nodded and put away the route map Xiao Liu had drawn. "Thank you."
"You're welcome!" Xiao Liu quickly waved his hand, "I should be the one thanking you."
After seeing Xiao Liu off, Sang Ying went back to her room to continue her meditation and cultivation. The rich Spiritual Qi in the courtyard made her practice and meditation very smooth.
She slept soundly through the night, and the next morning, Sang Ying got ready and headed to the East Market that Xiao Liu had mentioned.
As a shop backed by the city lord, Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion enjoys the best location in the bustling city center.
The tall, three-story, gleaming building is easily visible from afar. Looking at it this way, Xiao Liu's route map seems almost superfluous.
Perhaps because the Shimmering Gold Island Secret Realm was about to open, the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion was packed with people. However, most people were limited by the price and just wandered around the first floor.
Sang Ying glanced at them casually, but looked down on the talismans and Law Artifact, and didn't find any that caught her eye.
The manager of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion quickly noticed her and even came over to greet her, saying, "What would this fairy like to buy? I might as well give you some recommendations."
"Thank you for your trouble. I need some talismans and Law Artifact. But what's displayed here doesn't seem to be the best that Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion can offer, does it?" Sang Ying looked at the shopkeeper with a half-smile.
The chubby shopkeeper immediately put on a smiling face, "You flatter me, fairy. Of course, everything in our Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion is of good quality, but those that are too valuable are not suitable for the first floor. Why don't you come with me to the second floor and take a look? Perhaps you will find something you like there."
As he spoke, the shopkeeper made a gesture to lead Sang Ying upstairs.
Sang Ying naturally wouldn't refuse the shopkeeper's invitation and went with him to the second floor of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.
There were far fewer people on the second floor, and Sang Ying noticed at a glance that the quality of the goods here was much higher than downstairs.
She browsed around casually this time and found quite a few things she liked. It didn't take her long to gather all the necessary items.
The items at the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion are not cheap, and someone like Sang Ying who buys so much at once is obviously a very important customer.
After calculating the price for Sang Ying, the shopkeeper approached with a beaming smile, "Seeing how generous you are, Fairy, would you be interested in attending our Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion's auction in two months?"
He handed out a gilded invitation, as if he was certain that Sang Ying would not refuse.
Sang Ying certainly wouldn't refuse. The items displayed on the shelves of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion were already so outstanding; the treasures at the auction would definitely be even more extraordinary. Sang Ying didn't have much else, but she had plenty of Spirit Stone.
Two months later, she should have already left Gleaming Gold Island.
After the matter was settled, the shopkeeper personally escorted Sang Ying to the door.
As soon as the two came downstairs, they heard a commotion coming from the first floor.
When the shop assistant saw that the manager had finally come down, he quickly stepped forward to explain the situation—it turned out that two young ladies had come to buy things, and one of them had her Storage Bag stolen, and now she was making a fuss about demanding compensation from the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.
"Call your manager here! If you don't give me an explanation for what happened today, I'll smash up your Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion!" The spoiled voice echoed throughout the first floor, and many people quietly left Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion because of this commotion, not even wanting to buy the items they had already chosen.
After hearing the shopkeeper's explanation, the shopkeeper's face immediately darkened. He had been running his business in Haizhou City for so many years, and this was the first time he had encountered someone so audacious.
Before he could even leave and suppress the matter, another familiar voice reached Sang Ying's ears:
"Stop fooling around, Hongyi. Come back with me soon, or Brother Zhao will get angry."
Sang Ying paused, a sudden wave of annoyance washing over her. Why was it Su Fuyun again?!
