Chapter 4: Free Resources Received
The closest major human city to the Misty Sect is Tiger Roar City.
Tiger Roar City is located in the eastern part of Panlong Continent and belongs to Donglai Kingdom. To be precise, the Misty Sect is also located within the territory of Donglai Kingdom.
However, as one of the oldest sects on the Panlong Continent, the Misty Sect holds a position that transcends the Eastern Lai Kingdom and is not bound by its rules.
Because of its proximity to the Misty Sect, Tiger Roar City is much more prosperous than several other nearby cities. Cultivators can be seen everywhere in the city, making it an important place for cultivators to exchange resources.
"Uncle-Master, we've arrived. Let me help you down."
Lu Danian attentively helped the white-haired old man behind him dismount from his flying sword.
They stopped at the city gate. Human cities have a rule that swords are not allowed inside the city, a rule that all cultivators must abide by.
"Uncle-Master, where are we going to buy things?"
Lu Danian put away his flying sword, looked at the densely packed crowds of all kinds of people queuing at the city gate, and asked Xu Xiao.
The latter stroked his beard thoughtfully and said, "Let's go to the largest trading company in Tiger Roar City, Purple Come Trading Company. I know it well, and I can buy things quickly there."
"Yes!"
"Master Uncle, please wait a moment!"
Lu Danian touched his chest, and suddenly a small carriage appeared in front of the two of them.
The carriage was very exquisite, with a mechanical horse in front and a carriage in the back.
This is a Qimen magic tool, just like the previous communication talisman. It has no grade and is only for convenience in daily life.
Lu Danian invited Xu Xiao into the carriage and then drove the carriage from the front.
Tiger Roar City is very prosperous, with a large number of people.
Lu Danian's beautiful and exquisite mechanical carriage traveled through the streets, attracting the attention of many people.
"Oh! It's an elder from the Misty Sect!"
"Judging from his attire, he should be an outer sect elder!"
"What a beautiful carriage! I really want one... The Misty Sect certainly has the air of grandeur!"
"Sigh... If only I could join the Misty Sect in this lifetime..."
The motorized carriage weaved through the crowd and soon arrived in front of a magnificent three-story pavilion.
The pavilion, adorned with gold and jade carvings, stands out prominently on East Street.
The cultivators who came and went all had their divine light contained, and they were basically all high-level cultivators.
"Oh my! It's actually a distinguished guest from the Misty Sect!"
"Seniors! Please come in! Please come in!"
After putting away the carriage and entering, the old steward in the main hall immediately saw Xu Xiao and Lu Danian.
When the old steward saw Xu Xiao's face, he was immediately stunned and his face turned red.
"It's Elder Xu!"
"This humble servant greets Elder Xu!!"
The old steward excitedly bowed to Xu Xiao.
This Elder Xu's status in the Misty Sect is quite extraordinary; he is an inner sect elder!
Even the manager of Zilai Trading Company treated him with great respect.
Xu Xiao smiled warmly and said, "Haha, Manager Chen, I'm here to buy some things for the younger generation. There are quite a few items, so I think we should go up to the third floor to talk."
"Of course! Of course!"
The old manager said with a smile, "Please come, gentlemen! I will take you to the private room on the third floor. The manager will come to entertain you personally shortly!"
In a beautifully decorated and fragrant private room on the third floor, a charming woman in a purple dress leisurely entered.
"Hehe, I didn't expect it to be Elder Xu of the Misty Sect. It is truly an honor for our Zilai Chamber of Commerce that the elder has come to visit us personally."
The woman in the purple dress looked at the two people at the table, stepped forward to greet them, and extended her delicate, fair hand to pour them tea.
Xu Xiao looked up and saw that the woman was wearing a long purple gauze dress.
Her face was as beautiful and charming as a blooming flower.
Her skin was as white as snow, delicate and smooth.
She was tall and slender with beautiful curves, and her fair and shapely legs were faintly visible under her skirt, exuding a captivating charm.
Her neckline dropped slightly, revealing her stunning figure.
What's most striking is the beauty mark at the corner of her eye, which makes her even more charming and alluring, captivating all who behold her.
This is Zi Yun, the manager of Zi Lai Trading Company in Tiger Roar City.
"Manager Zi, it's been a long time. You've become even more remarkable," Xu Xiao said with a chuckle.
"How can anyone compare to Elder Xu? Hehe, Elder, what do you want from my Zilai Trading Company this time?"
Zi Yun sat to the side, smiling radiantly, and said, "As long as Elder Xu speaks up, my trading company will definitely give the elder a satisfactory price."
She looked at Xu Xiao, a glimmer of light flashing in her eyes.
Rumor has it that Xu Xiao, an inner sect elder of the Misty Sect, failed his tribulation a month ago, causing his cultivation to drop to the Foundation Establishment stage, and he is about to die of old age.
Judging from his current spirits, it doesn't seem as serious as the rumors suggested.
Just as Xu Xiao was about to speak, the system's voice rang in his ear.
[The woman of destiny has been detected: Zi Yun]
[Luck Level: A]
Return multiplier: 10x
[Bond Level: 1]
A-level woman of destiny?
Xu Xiao's eyes flickered slightly, a glint of light flashing within them.
Unexpectedly, Zi Yun, the owner of Zi Lai Trading Company, is actually an A-level woman of great fortune.
He also encountered many female cultivators in the past two days and discovered something.
Women blessed with good fortune are not common; they are quite rare.
Even women with the highest C-level fortune are rare.
Calming himself down, Xu Xiao laughed and said, "Haha, I want quite a lot this time, so I'll have to trouble Manager Zi."
Zi Yun's eyes lit up, and she smiled, "Elder Xu, just say the word, the price is negotiable."
Xu Xiao had already prepared what he wanted to buy when he arrived, and slowly said, "Twenty low-grade magic artifacts, two hundred Foundation Establishment Pills, and twenty Golden Core Pills, that should be about it."
After saying this, Zi Yun blinked in surprise.
Lu Danian, who was standing next to him, also looked over with wide eyes. "Uncle-Master, why are you buying so much stuff?"
Does my senior uncle have that many spirit stones?
He was a little confused. He had originally planned to pay for his uncle's meal himself to show his filial piety, but now he decided to keep quiet.
"How is it, Manager Zi? Is everything complete?" Xu Xiao asked with a smile.
Since it's a natural and reasonable way to give gifts, these items are relatively easy to give away.
Foundation Establishment Pill is a pill used by cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage, while Golden Core Pill is used by cultivators in the Core Formation stage.
There are also low-grade magic artifacts, which are necessities for cultivation and are considered hard currency.
Moreover, he himself now needs to use Foundation Establishment Pills to cultivate.
"Yes! Of course!"
Zi Yun was overjoyed; this was a huge deal. "Elder Xu, please follow me to the second floor. There are hundreds of low-grade magic artifacts there. Elder Xu, just take your pick!"
Fifteen minutes later, at the main entrance of Zilai Trading Company.
Xu Xiao successfully spent fifty high-grade spirit stones to buy what he needed.
Among them, twenty low-grade magic artifacts cost a total of twenty high-grade spirit stones.
Two hundred Foundation Establishment Pills, totaling twenty high-grade spirit stones.
Twenty Golden Elixir Pills, totaling twenty high-grade spirit stones.
The original price was sixty high-grade spirit stones, but because Xu Xiao was an inner sect elder of the Misty Sect and a regular customer, he received a discount and was only charged fifty high-grade spirit stones.
The alluring Zi Yun and Steward Chen saw them off at the door, their eyes filled with joy. Fifty high-grade spirit stones—that was a huge sum of money!
Lu Danian invited Xu Xiao into the car, but the latter looked at the beautiful Zi Yun and asked Lu Danian to wait a moment.
Afterwards, he took out a low-grade golden hairpin magic artifact that he had specially selected earlier and placed it in front of Ziyun.
Stroking his white beard, Xu Xiao smiled, his wrinkles disappearing, and said, "Manager Zi, this hairpin is so beautiful, I think it's perfect for a lady like you."
"Your esteemed merchant has given me a discount of ten high-grade spirit stones. I will present this hairpin to Manager Zi as a token of my gratitude."
Xu Xiao finished speaking.
The smiles on Zi Yun and Manager Chen's faces instantly froze.
Even Lu Danian behind him blinked his bull-like eyes, seemingly unable to believe what he was seeing.
What is my senior brother doing?
Picking up girls...?
