At this time, outside Tianqing Pavilion.
Liang Su was leading people to set up a formation around the quiet room. The previous nervousness on his face was gone, only a faint smile remained.
At first, she did have the idea of gambling, but after thinking about it, she came up with a better idea.
Since this female cultivator was very likely to have a special identity, she could have used another method to capture her and then slowly interrogate her about her value. Why would she risk being expelled from the Tianqing Pavilion and gamble with her?
Sword cultivators are famous and cannot be judged by common sense.
She was not sure she could catch him, so she simply used the Heavenly Dao Covenant to restrict him, relax his vigilance, and give herself some time.
A hint of pride appeared on Liang Su's face.
Half a day was enough for her to set up a tight net around this quiet room. Even if this woman really had some skills, she would be unable to escape!
…
At the same time, Fangcun gathered in Tianqing Pavilion.
Seeing Xiang Sheng standing there motionless for a long time, a servant finally came forward and asked, "This distinguished guest..."
The servant was halfway through his words when he saw the white paper mask in Xiang Sheng's hand. His respect suddenly dropped by half. "Do you want to hire an appraiser? Your mask is only good for half a day, which is too short. If you don't have an appraiser to accompany you, I'm afraid you will return empty-handed."
Xiang Sheng was slightly surprised when he heard this, "We need to hire someone specifically?"
The servant immediately smiled, his smile tinged with contempt. "Sir, only tokens of the seventh rank or higher will be specially appraised by our Tianqing Pavilion. Your token is the lowest rank, the ninth rank, and its value in spirit stones is only a hundred. If we have to arrange this specifically for you, will we still be able to do business with our Tianqing Pavilion?"
"Ninth-grade token..."
Xiang Sheng smiled and said, "We need to hire an appraiser. Does the young man have any recommendations for a master?"
"Guest, you are joking again."
The servant shook his head, his words becoming increasingly sarcastic, yet still polite, making it difficult to find fault with him.
"Appraisers are very busy, so how can they have the time to accompany you to the market? For your needs, you don't need high-level knowledge; an appraiser apprentice will be enough. Besides, appraisers are cheap and won't be a burden to you."
As he spoke, the servant took out a jade register and sifted through it for a moment. Then he looked up and said, "Sir, you're in luck. There's an apprentice appraiser who's free and willing to accompany you for half a day. The reward is ten spirit stones. I'll send him over right away."
As the servant spoke, he quickly sent out a communication talisman, leaving no room for Xiang Sheng to refuse.
Xiang Sheng raised his eyebrows but said nothing more.
Not long after, a young man came hurriedly. He had a handsome face and a scholarly air. He was wearing a green Taoist robe that was washed so white that he looked more like a scholar.
"Why are you so slow?"
The servant rudely thrust the card into the young man's arms and said impatiently, "This is your guest. Please treat him well."
After saying this, the servant put on a smiling face without waiting for the young man to nod, and hurriedly went to greet another guest who was dressed in luxurious clothes.
The young scholar clutched his card awkwardly, walked up to Xiang Sheng, and bowed, saying, "My name is You Chengfeng. Your Excellency, please call me 'Chengfeng'. May I ask which market you'd like to go to?"
Xiang Sheng waved the paper mask in his hand and said, "With this token, where can I set up a stall to sell my goods?"
"Selling?"
You Chengfeng was stunned for a moment. Wasn't it just about buying? How did it become selling?
What can you sell in just half a day?
Although he was puzzled, You Chengfeng quickly replied, "As long as it's a token, you can set up a stall anywhere in the market. However, most of the tokens in the East Market are of the seventh rank or higher, which have a long shelf life and are not easy to find a stall. The West Market is less crowded and has many vacant stalls, but most of the cultivators who go there are from independent cultivator backgrounds and have low wealth..."
"Then let's go to West Market."
Xiang Sheng interrupted and stared at You Chengfeng.
You Chengfeng blushed and quickly lowered his head to lead the way.
The street outside Tianqing Pavilion is the bustling city of Fangcunji, where monks from all walks of life gather and monsters roam the streets.
Xiang Sheng had seen it from afar before, but now that he was looking at it up close, his heart no longer beat as fast as before.
She glanced at him indifferently, then looked away and said, "Chengfeng, you are also a servant of the Tianqing Pavilion?"
You Chengfeng was walking in front and turned back in surprise: "Your Excellency has good eyesight. It turns out I was indeed a waiter. Because I wasn't very good at speaking, I was transferred to the Appraisal Department as an apprentice."
At this point, You Chengfeng's expression suddenly changed slightly, and he quickly added, "But rest assured, sir! I've been working in the Appraisal Department for eight years, and I've never slacked off even for a single day. Although it's cheap, my appraisal skills will definitely not disappoint you."
After saying that, You Chengfeng looked at Xiang Sheng anxiously, feeling secretly regretful in his heart.
What nonsense are you talking about?
I've been waiting for an order for over half a month. If it falls through because of what I said, it would be really...
"Lead the way quickly."
Xiang Sheng's voice was flat and without any fluctuations, but to You Chengfeng's ears it sounded like the sound of nature.
His expression relaxed slightly, and he immediately quickened his pace without saying a word along the way.
A moment later, the two arrived at Xifang City.
Compared to the bustling East Market, West Market is indeed much quieter, but there are still quite a few cultivators coming and going.
You Chengfeng chose a relatively spacious empty stall and said, "If you think this place is suitable, just insert the token into the groove of the formation, and the stall will be yours."
"Right here."
Xiang Sheng replied and inserted the paper mask into the groove, only to find that the burning speed of the paper mask immediately doubled.
Xiang Sheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he turned to look at You Chengfeng.
"Dear guest, don't you know?"
