"Fellow Daoist Bai, please!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Lan'er did not say anything more, but simply invited Bai Cang into the Wanxiang Tower.
However, judging from her micro-expressions, Bai Cang felt that she didn't seem to appreciate his "quite wealthy" demeanor.
It's like a city dweller seeing a country bumpkin from the countryside; although they don't explicitly say, "Look at you, you've never seen the world before," they're secretly hoping to teach him a lesson.
Bai Cang didn't really care about this: being a country bumpkin was one of the personas he wanted to create.
Otherwise, how could Tianhe Zhenjun feel "disgraced" and thus be showered with gold coins by him?
"The Wanxiang Building has six floors, and the items on each floor are different."
Ye Lan'er explained in detail, introducing to Bai Cang: "The first floor is full of magical artifacts. Fellow Daoist Bai may wish to take a look and see if there is anything that catches your eye."
Bai Cang looked around and saw that there were swords, jewelry, handkerchiefs, folding fans, musical instruments and other items hanging all around, with faint ripples, which were obviously all magical artifacts that had been refined.
However, Bai Cang only glanced at it before losing interest. He pursed his lips almost imperceptibly, as if to say: Is this all there is to Wanxiang Tower?
Most of these magical artifacts have only nine or fewer layers of restrictions, with the highest being no more than thirty-six layers.
Moreover, most of them were just second-rate unorthodox magical artifacts, not even as good as those recorded in the Heshan Scripture, so Bai Cang naturally looked down on them.
Upon seeing this, Ye Lan'er frowned slightly, but she understood Bai Cang's unspoken meaning and immediately couldn't help but laugh and say, "It seems that Fellow Daoist Bai has high standards, but Lan'er has done poorly."
"Bring out the finest items, please have Fellow Daoist Bai take a look."
Before he finished speaking, dozens of Taoist-style boys emerged one after another, each carrying a white jade plate.
On each white jade plate was a magical artifact, each with at least thirty-six layers of restrictions. The one with the brightest radiance was actually a powerful earthly magical artifact with seventy-two perfect restrictions.
Moreover, it's not a combined magic weapon, but a quasi-magic treasure with the potential for advancement.
However, Bai Cang's gaze shifted only once before locking onto another white jade plate.
A quasi-magical treasure with seventy-two forbidden attributes at its peak is certainly good; it could even be considered one of the prized possessions of the Myriad Elephant Pavilion.
But for Bai Cang: what use is this thing? He can't afford it anyway.
Although he considered himself "quite wealthy," he still harbored some resentment towards Bi Shu.
He wouldn't even patronize the most beautiful courtesan in Pingkangfang, so why would he dare to ask about the price of such a treasure?
These "treasures of the store" are like "the ancestral master's money"—they're meant for others to see, not for them to buy.
On the white jade plate that Bai Cang had his eye on lay thirty-six bluish-white beads the size of longan, faintly shrouded in a precious light, and crackling with tiny electric snakes as they rolled back and forth.
Upon seeing this, Bai Cang's eyes lit up. "How much is this item?"
Ye Lan'er smiled faintly, "It's just a few thunder pearls. Fellow Daoist Bai, why don't you guess its origin? If you can guess correctly, Lan'er can decide to give it to you."
Upon hearing this, Bai Cang's eyes lit up, and a faint light gathered between his brows. He had already activated the "Zhaoling Heavenly Eye".
After a moment, Bai Cang chuckled and said, "Thank you for your generous gift, Miss Lan'er. I will accept it with a smile."
"If I'm not mistaken, this thing looks like a Gangsha Thunder Pearl, but it is actually a Yuan Magnetic Sha Qi, made by mixing it with the Arctic Xuan Gang."
Ye Lan'er truly lives up to her position as the head of Wanxiang Tower; she has a remarkable grasp of interpersonal relationships and social etiquette.
From the moment they met, she deliberately flirted with Bai Cang, causing the two to "challenge each other." In reality, however, they were just teasing each other, and unknowingly, they had already grown closer.
Then, through this seemingly provocative method, he "freely" gave Bai Cang the treasure he wanted, saving Bai Cang's face while subtly presenting a gift, leaving Bai Cang with no choice but to accept the favor.
Even though Bai Cang had seen through her "trick," he still had no choice but to accept her kindness.
How can it not be considered an astonishing method?
But Ye Lan'er was quite "professional." Upon hearing this, she was shocked and her face was full of disbelief. "Fellow Daoist has discerning eyes. Lan'er admires you."
After saying that, she personally held the white jade plate and handed it to Bai Cang, giving him so much emotional value that it was almost overflowing.
"Please accept the Arctic Thunder Pearl, Fellow Daoist Bai!"
Bai Cang bowed in thanks and followed Ye Lan'er to the second floor of the Wanxiang Tower.
This place, however, sells all sorts of elixirs!
This time, however, Ye Lan'er didn't try anything fancy and directly presented various kinds of high-quality elixirs.
Bai Cang was overwhelmed by the sights, his eyes burning with desire.
Especially two of the elixirs: Qian Yuan Bone-Changing Pill and Tian Gang Acupoint-Fixing Pill.
One Qian Yuan Bone-Changing Pill is worth eight million spirit pearls. It can change one's physical constitution, promote the growth of immortal seedlings, and improve one's aptitude. Each person can take a maximum of three pills in their lifetime.
A set of Tiangang Fixed Aperture Pills consists of thirty-six pills, known as "one pill to fix one aperture." It is one of the best spiritual pills for breaking through to the upper-grade Dao Foundation stage. It can help cultivators fix their Xuan Aperture and maintain the stability of their fundamental diagram. Each pill is worth one million spirit pearls.
Ye Lan'er also very "thoughtfully" gave Bai Cang an 8.8% discount, so one Heavenly Gang Qi-Fixing Pill "only" cost 880,000 spirit pearls, which was truly "good value for money".
The only downside is that the Heavenly Gang Fixed Aperture Pill can only be sold in sets, each set costing 31.68 million spirit pearls, which is exactly 30 million spirit pearls after rounding down.
Bai Cang was deeply moved by this, and then shed tears of poverty.
The country bumpkin, who thought himself "quite wealthy," was given a harsh lesson by the "city people."
"Wanxianglou truly lives up to its reputation as one of the largest trading companies in the Dragon Palace Sea Market."
"Unfortunately, I have no intention of taking on disciples. Spirit pills at the Qi Refining level are still a bit lacking."
Bai Cang said, "Let's go down to the next floor and take a look."
Upon hearing this, Ye Lan'er smiled, but she didn't intend to embarrass Bai Cang by offering him a Foundation Establishment Pill on the spot.
Through this "demonstration" alone, she had already made a fairly accurate estimate of Bai Cang's "quite wealthy" resources.
Leaving aside the Heavenly Gang Fixed Aperture Pill, the Qian Yuan Bone Changing Pill has no cultivation level restrictions.
It can be effective for anyone below the Golden Core True Monarch level, and Bai Cang's excitement is also visible to the naked eye.
Since Bai Cang didn't make a move, there's only one explanation: he's short of money.
Thinking this, Ye Lan'er led Bai Cang to the third floor of the Wanxiang Tower.
The layout here is exactly the same as the first and second floors, but the goods displayed here are all kinds of martial arts techniques.
However, all these techniques were shrouded in the spiritual light of the array, making them difficult to see clearly.
However, each of these methods of interrupting cultivation has a commentary.
Although it is only a few hundred words or so, it is easy to understand at a glance.
This time, however, Ye Lan'er did not have any exquisite items presented. Instead, she smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Bai, all the cultivation techniques collected by our Myriad Manifestations Pavilion are here. Do you see anything that catches your eye?"
[Thanks to "skil", please give me a free gift!]
