Not only Chen Qi, but all the disciples of this generation haven't had the chance to enter the Treasure Pavilion yet. In contrast, Shi Xuan has already entered and freely chosen items based on her own abilities. How can the difference between people be so vast?
The treasure pavilion of the Hidden Sect is located on the main peak, not far from the sect leader's main hall.
At this point, it was said that Shi Xuan could choose whatever he wanted, and the most precious items that could not be given away had already been put away. Even so, the remaining items were still enough to satisfy the needs of a Golden Core cultivator.
Shi Xuan already had experience selecting items in the Treasure Pavilion. Last time in Qingshui City, he was invited to select items in the Treasure Pavilion because he helped repel the monster tide, but in the end, the spot was given to Lu Shenzhi.
This time there's no limit on the number, but precisely because there's no limit, most people won't choose too many. This saves face for the sect and also gives those who make the selections a good reputation for not being greedy.
Shi Xuan plans to select three; things shouldn't happen more than three times, three is just right.
The treasure pavilion of the Hidden Sect is also multi-level. Shi Xuan wandered around the lower levels for a while before heading straight to the fourth level. To avoid having to choose a Soul Gathering Stone and then being presented with one, Shi Xuan decided to check first. If a Soul Gathering Stone was available, he would choose it directly to avoid any trouble.
Seeing her movements, Lu Shenzhi already knew what she was thinking. He smiled happily and said, "Junior Sister, you are so righteous!"
Even the eldest brother has joined in; this "righteous" label is now impossible to shake off. At this moment, Shi Xuan suddenly felt a deep empathy for Chen Qi's insistence on his own way.
He must have accepted this new nickname just as happily as I did...
"Senior Brother, I admire your optimistic spirit, like a dead pig that isn't afraid of boiling water."
Lu Shenzhi looked relaxed and smiled smugly.
“Junior Sister is right. As the saying goes, debts are not a burden, and that’s absolutely true. Senior Brother is in that situation right now.”
"Alright then," Shi Xuan suddenly couldn't stand his excitement. He flicked the Soul-Nourishing Wood at his waist and said, "Since that's the case, let's collect some lodging and transportation fees first. Five thousand high-grade spirit stones. I've already written it down in my little notebook. Senior Brother, you must remember to pay it back."
Lu Shenzhi's smile froze instantly.
He could barely understand the boarding fee, but what the heck is this transportation fee?! The cost of carrying him around? Does he even have weight?
Moreover, this soul-nourishing wooden plaque hanging on his body already charges spirit stones; charging a movement fee on top of that would be double charging, wouldn't it? Could he protest?
Seeing Shi Xuan's smug dimples, Lu Shenzhi remained silent.
We can't afford to offend them, we absolutely can't afford to offend them at all...
Shi Xuan circled the fourth floor of the treasure pavilion but did not find the Soul Gathering Stone. He also checked the lower and upper floors, but still found nothing.
She shrugged and sighed regretfully, "Sigh, such a good opportunity to take on even more debt is gone."
Although Lu Shenzhi was somewhat disappointed, he was mentally prepared for this.
He laughed and said, "Theoretically speaking, Junior Sister could take all the treasures off this floor."
"Why don't you just let me uproot the whole building?"
"It's not impossible," Lu Shenzhi joked. "If my junior sister becomes too wealthy, could you forgive some of my debts?"
“One thing at a time. Even if I take over all the treasure pavilions of the six sects in the Qian Yuan Western Region, your debt will still be owed to you.”
Lu Shenzhi let out a mournful cry and then disappeared in sorrow.
Although it's said they could empty an entire treasure vault, the Lianfeng Sword Sect would truly have no shame. Shi Xuan maintained his original plan and chose three items.
Choose only three items, then you don't need to look at the lower levels.
Shi Xuan went straight up to the fifth floor, where the items were of the highest grade and were the best in the entire treasure vault.
As soon as Shi Xuan went upstairs, she saw a very beautiful red robe and liked it very much at first glance.
Shi Xuan favored bright colors, especially gold and red. The bright red color of that dress suited her perfectly, and she fell in love with it at first sight.
Phoenix Feather Armor, an eighth-order magic weapon, is light and soft, impervious to water and fire, and can withstand a blow from a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.
This is exactly what she was made for.
Without hesitation, Shi Xuan chose it as the first item.
Walk a few steps further in, and you'll see a section on the left filled with all sorts of high-end materials, while the right side contains some finished products.
Shi Xuan first walked around the finished product area, but didn't find anything that particularly appealed to her.
He then turned to the left and focused on reading the materials.
This floor isn't very big, but it's decorated very exquisitely.
The materials area is particularly important because some precious materials have very strict requirements for storage environment. It is divided into separate areas to simulate the growth environment of those materials.
Being there feels like entering a dream world, a dazzling experience.
Shi Xuan first went through the entire materials area. As expected of the top floor of the treasure pavilion, there were really a lot of good materials here.
But what attracted Shi Xuan the most was a point of purple light in the darkest corner.
The purple light was so faint that it was almost imperceptible; one would miss it if one did not look closely.
However, Shi Xuan could not overlook anything in this treasure trove just because it seemed insignificant.
As she walked, she unleashed her divine sense, leaving no corner unchecked.
Even Lu Shenzhi, who had been feigning death for a while, was drawn to the faint light and asked, "This... is fire?"
Shi Xuan nodded: "It is Netherworld Fire, but it is a bit injured and not very strong."
"Would the Netherfire be of any use to you?" Lu Shenzhi asked.
Shi Xuan nodded again and replied, "It's more useful to you than to me. This fire is the best spiritual fire for refining the Rejuvenation Pill."
Lu Shenzhi laughed loudly and said, "See? Although there are no Soul Gathering Stones, in the end, Senior Brother's luck has turned this year. No matter what, he can still get some."
Shi Xuan raised an eyebrow, but did not refute him. Instead, he walked directly to the Netherfire and reached out his hand towards the dim light.
As he reached out, Shi Xuan said to Lu Shenzhi, "This fire was for our senior brother, so your debt will be increased by another 50,000 high-grade spirit stones."
"How about... we reconsider?"
Fifty thousand? She really dares to ask for that much.
"No need to think about it, I'm willing to take this risk for my senior brother!" Shi Xuan said with a resolute expression, his fingers already touching the spiritual fire as he spoke.
What's there to consider? This Netherworld Fire is not only the most suitable spiritual fire for resurrection pills, but also for refining all yin-yang related pills and magical artifacts.
Even if Lu Shenzhi didn't use it, she would still choose the Netherworld Fire.
But it's quite fun to extort the senior brother for the time it takes to collect this spiritual fire.
Recently, Shi Xuan has developed a wicked sense of humor, enjoying watching Lu Shenzhi's nonchalant expression gradually crack, which is very stress-relieving.
Therefore, even if Shi Xuan wanted to take the Netherfire, she would still have to rely on her senior brother's Resurrection Pill. Even if Lu Shenzhi could never repay these spirit stones, Shi Xuan would still increase his debt. Even if Shi Xuan didn't need Lu Shenzhi to repay the spirit stones at all, she would still bring up his debts in front of him every few days...
Shi Xuan found amusement in Lu Shenzhi's expressions and never tired of it.
If Lu Shenzhi had known this day would come, he certainly wouldn't have been so strict when instructing Xuan on sword practice...
