Chapter 276 Black Crystal VIP
Treasure Pavilion Auction
Now that Shang Yanting was of a certain status, he no longer needed an invitation to enter. They sat in a VIP box on the fourth floor, from where they could overlook the entire Treasure Pavilion.
"Wow! Host, we have such a big influence now."
Jia Xitong couldn't help but sigh at the small mound of earth.
Shang Yanting's lips curled slightly as he pulled Jia Xitong, who was looking around aimlessly, back to sit beside him.
The auction has begun.
That colorful, gilded, wide-sleeved fairy dress, just as its name suggests, was dazzling and incomparably gorgeous. Moreover, it had its own cleaning function, was fireproof, waterproof, and impervious to swords and spears, making it a rare earth-rank treasure garment.
Shang Yanting set his sights on this item and bid without hesitation.
In the blink of an eye, this item was auctioned off for 800,000 low-grade spirit stones.
The thrifty raccoon quickly calculated the price and realized it was almost enough to buy a precious robe from Hsien Loong Peak...
"So expensive."
Jia Xitong shook her head. Buying land is fine, but buying a piece of clothing is unnecessary.
"fine."
Shang Yanting waved his hand.
Liang Ting is a shrewd businessman; his monthly tribute alone now amounts to millions of spirit stones. Shang Yanting has reverted to his former extravagant and wasteful young master.
No, it's the privileged generation now.
Inside a private room on the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion
A group of wealthy disciples sat among them, with the man at the very center being Wanqi Jie, the patriarch of the Wanqi family.
"Brother Jie, this treasure robe has already increased to 800,000 low-grade spirit stones. Maybe we should just forget about it."
The woman beside him nestled against his chest and whispered, "Ya'er being with Brother Jie doesn't mean she belongs to Brother Tu Jie."
"Junior Sister Jingya, what are you saying?"
The henchmen nearby looked at them upon hearing this, "Brother Jie is the young master of the Wanqi family, would he lack such a few spirit stones?"
Wan Qijie glanced at the man who had spoken, then stuck the price increase sign out the window: "820,000 low-grade spirit stones."
Shang Yanting followed closely, "850,000 low-grade spirit stones."
Both sides kept raising prices.
It's approaching 1 million low-grade spirit stones.
One million low-grade spirit stones is no small sum for Wan Qijie. Even as a young master from a prominent family, it would take him a long time to accumulate that many spirit stones.
Just as the auctioneer's gavel was about to fall, Zhuo Jingya pinched Wan Qijie's arm, "Brother Jie."
Brother Jie couldn't afford or was unwilling to spend that much money, so he pretended to be lost in thought.
Bang--!
The hammer struck with a crisp sound, and Wan Qijie snapped out of his daze. He reached out and patted Zhuo Jingya on the back. "Never mind, these flamboyant clothes don't suit you. I heard that the Treasure Pavilion has recently acquired several sets of fairy robes made of white shark sand. I'll take you to see them later."
White shark sand isn't white shark satin; it's just slightly better than ordinary fabric. How can it compare to this Earth-rank treasure robe being auctioned?
Zhuo Jingya naturally felt a sense of loss.
But she knew that Wan Qijie was vain, arrogant, and liked obedient women. She leaned against Wan Qijie's chest obediently, her fingers hooking around his belt, "Ya'er also thinks this precious dress is too flashy. Ya'er likes anything Brother Jie gives Ya'er."

Fourth floor
A multicolored, gilded dress was brought out, and Jia Xitong felt like she was about to be blinded by its brilliance. The entire dress was incredibly heavy, almost as heavy as her two pairs of wings.
Have you been looking at it for too long...?
"Actually, it's quite pretty!"
Over time, the raccoon's aesthetic sense was assimilated by Shang Yanting.
"I'm glad you like it."
Shang Yanting stared at her, and staring at her for so long made her feel a little embarrassed.
Jia Xitong twisted her fingers, feeling somewhere.
It's weird, it makes me want to turn back into a raccoon.
"Next up for auction is the Spirit Gold Sword – Qian Tong."
"Starting bid: 500,000 low-grade spirit stones. Each bid must be at least 5,000 low-grade spirit stones."
The auction continued.
This time, the item up for auction is a weapon.
Jia Xitong craned her neck to look outside. The longsword looked similar to the one Shang Yanting had used before, which happened to be the reason she had come here.
"Dear host, if you buy me clothes, I'll buy you a sword!"
As Xianlongfeng gradually became wealthier, Jia Xitong's private savings were no longer needed, and she now had over a million in her pocket.
"good."
Shang Yanting nodded.
He would never refuse her kindness.
The longsword is a spirit gold magic weapon, and the treasure robe is an earth-rank magic weapon. Although the robe is a level higher than the longsword, the weapon is more sought after. Jia Xitong spent 970,000 low-grade spirit stones to buy the magic weapon.
The Treasure Pavilion brought over the magical artifact, along with a black crystal.
"What's this?"
Jia Xitong looked over curiously. Are there free gifts with purchases now?
"Guest, this is Black Crystal."
The staff at Treasure Pavilion said respectfully, "This gift is only given to Treasure Pavilion's most distinguished guests. With the Black Crystal, you can receive the best service."
so……
Does this mean VIP?
Jia Xitong took the black crystal. "Dear host, do you want it?"
"Keep it."
Shang Yanting took the longsword and twirled it in his hand, clearly very satisfied with it.

After spending the whole day with her host, Jia Xitong sneaked out again!
Today is a welcome party for the new teachers. We'll have lunch together at noon, and then discuss important matters related to teaching in the afternoon.
"Teacher Bucket."
"Hello, Teacher Tong."
...
Although Jia Xitong deliberately kept a low profile, her wealthy appearance, adorned with gold and jewels, was quite eye-catching among the group of ordinary teachers.
Moreover, she doesn't live in the teachers' dormitory.
The group of cultivators, who had been living together for quite some time, were very curious about her mysterious identity.
"If Teacher Tong doesn't live in the teachers' dormitory, where does he mainly stay?"
"Hmm...over there at the school dormitory."
Jia Xitong replied, "Actually, the distance isn't far from everyone else's."
"Schoolhouse?"
A teacher who had only met him once or twice came over and asked, "Is Teacher Tong's relative a student of the academy?"
"It used to be, but it's not anymore."
Seeing how detailed their questions were, Jia Xitong felt like she was being interrogated. "My friend is doing some small business at the academy, and also practicing martial arts and stuff. Don't just talk about me, what do your families do?"
"We are just ordinary cultivators who have come all this way to find a wage and make a living."
"Same as above."
She fools others, and she fools others in return.
Jia Xitong left the crowd with her standard smile, then turned to find a secluded place to stay.
The workplace is like a battlefield.
Socially adept Bear sensed a slight hypocrisy in his interactions with these new colleagues.
She took some food, walked to a corner of the flower bed, and squatted down under the shade of a large tree. Just as she was about to be alone for a while, she heard the sound of crumpling oil paper behind her.
She stood up and looked around the trees, where she saw a thin man behind one of them. Several sheets of oil paper were laid out on the ground, with food taken from the luncheon on them.
