493: Guzheng

Guzheng

As the group from the 3rd elder of the Alchemy Association move forward with the Shu's, they were chatting quite lively.

Nantian and the other disciples couldn't help but just enjoy the sight. Since many powers are entering the shire, the shire actually started some events, like auctions, opening shops, and many more.

The Old Shu led the 3rd elder alchemy group's people to a shop.

Shu Tianan couldn't help but always steal glances at Fei Lin, not only is her face comparable to the fairies in the fairy tales but her demeanor and movements are quite a sight to see as well.

Old Shu had been noticing it and couldn't help but smile and spoke: "We're heading to a shop later, there's a really interesting shop that sells a lot of good artifacts. Since there are so many young brave people with bright futures in our group."

"Finding one or two artifacts for them will definitely aid them with their future endeavors." Old Shu added.

As the owner of the Grand Herb Pavilion, his wealth is already comparable to a quarter of the alchemy association's, and that's not little at all.

With alchemists mostly buying herbs from their pavilion, they are already quite the heavyweight. And a quarter of the Alchemy Association's wealth? Well, that's definitely a lot. 

Unlike the Alchemy Association which their wealth is divided into more than thirty individuals and the majority of it goes to funding the association, Old Shu is much wealthier than Lee Yuei, the 3rd elder of the association by so many folds.

They can't compare to both the Alchemy Association's status and strength, but as for wealth, Old Shu felt that no more than ten people can compare to him in the entirety of the Myriad Earth Abyss continent.

And to help his son get the one he fancies, spending half of it would definitely be something that he'll definitely do!

Lee Yuei, of course immediately caught at what Old Shu's intentions, she immediately nodded and smiled: "Then, we will be troubling you, Old Shu."

Old Shu chuckled and smiled: "No trouble, no trouble at all."

After a few more chatters, they were about to arrive, Old Shu immediately advice: "Right, there may be people that had arrived it for the first time."

"Of course, that Includes my own son." Chuckling, he continued: "But after we enter the shire's outer circle,

"Be mindful of your attitudes, no maiden of the shire should be taken advantage of else, even the Empire will not be able to protect you."

"I've only been able to enter the shire for two times, yet, one of those instances, I've witnessed a peak-stage Celestial Phenomenon ranked expert vanish without a single trace remaining, so I hope everyone can be respectful towards everyone from the shire, even the ones in the lowest standing has about the same standing as I do."

Lee Yuei smiled: "To think Old Shu was also there at that time, I also witnessed it, but I couldn't even see how it happened."

She then looked at her group and warned: "So, everyone, be respectful, okay?"

Everyone nodded their head.

As they were speaking amongst themselves, they finally arrive.

Old Shu and Lee Yuei handed their token to a maiden of the shire then proceeded inside.

As soon as they entered, they immediately saw a compendium of artifacts, ranging from soul weapons to the highest of 10-star soul weapons and armaments.

There are also herbs, pills, and potions that even members of the Alchemy Association couldn't help but stare at awe.

Of course, the prices of these things are awe-striking as well.

9-star Soul Weapon

Soul Seering Blade

50 high-grade spirit stones.

8-star Soul Weapon

Ocean Severing Fan

5 high-grade spirit stones.

7-star Immortal Grade pill

Expelling Yin Pill

33 high-grade spirit stones.

The prices are quite high, even great clans would feel a pinch whenever they'll buy a piece of artifacts from here.

It was a spectacle that a lot of people would never have a chance to see even if they have ten lives.

Shu Tianan smiled, his father had given him a minimum of 100 high-grade spirit stones, that's about 5% of their family's wealth, he felt rather proud of it.

He started talking to Wu Tao and the others, checking the treasures of the shop one by one.

As they are all tight on budget, they wanted to choose what they needed the most.

After a while, an elder approached them and smiled: "Hello dear customers, it seemed to me that you're not able to pick what you want."

All of them smiled rather awkwardly, it's not that they can't pick, if it's left to them, they'd probably get everything. But almost everything here is already out of reach for most of them. Out of the 30 of them, there's only a handful of people that can actually buy some things.

The elder then asked: "There's a grand hall on the second floor, we've brought out treasures from the inner sanctum to display here for a month, if any guests can buy the treasures, they are free to do so."

"Only, the entrance fee is one high-grade spirit stone for each individual."

Lee Yuei felt a pinch hearing this, just for sightseeing, they are needed to pay a high-grade spirit stone? That's already a 100% profit!

But of course, who wouldn't want to witness the sight of the shire's inner hall's treasures?

There would definitely be a large number of treasures that can not only help them individually but help their whole organization as well.

After all, this is the shire that not even the Emperors and rulers of the four great factions can visit whenever they please. Also, the shire is famous for one more thing, for generations since its establishment, they had majorly only accepted treasures, and those treasures are being sold back for an exorbitant amount of spirit stones, and for some reason, they know when to sell it...

Lee Yuei felt excited, but spending so many high-grade spirit stones isn't possible.

"Only five from the alchemy association will go up." Lee Yuei said after much thought into it.

"Five?" Fei Lin asked. After all, just her fellow disciples already counted as four, her sisters, mother, and grandmother counts as three.

Lee Yuei nodded her head: "Yes, your sisters, mother, and me, together with you, all five of us will go up."

Fei Lin immediately shook her head: "Don't worry, I'm fine, I'll stay here with my fellow disciples, you all go enjoy your time."

Lee Yuei furrowed her brows hearing this, but when she's about to speak, Old Shu chuckled and spoke: "Lady Yuei, how about I shoulder half of your association's fees? That way, we can all enter as well and enjoy the sight together."

Lee Yuei immediately shook her head: "No need, no need, we can't trouble you with something this expensive."

Old Shu chuckled: "No problem at all, you're an elder of an association, your budget is already being cut with maintaining your position and doing your family's alchemy, please don't reject."

"After all, other than herbs, we only have money to show." Old Shu continued, expressing his goodwill to them, he immediately handed the fees to the elder who received them wholeheartedly.

Seeing this, Lee Yuei couldn't reject anymore and handed the rest of the payment.

Fortunately, Old Shu's plan didn't fail, after all, in order for his son to show off, the one he needs to show off his wealth to needs to be present.

Seeing the battle of wealth, Yan Meng felt a pinch on his heart, truthfully, which men in this world of theirs don't want to show off? He only knew one, and that is his master who always keeps a low profile.

Checking his storage ring that only has 24 pieces of mid-grade spirit stones, he couldn't help but feel helpless.

Fei Lin saw this and smiled, she held his arms and spoke: "We're not really poor, it's just that, our master had decided to keep a low profile, if he didn't, the shire would probably give everything to our master just for a few words."1

She herself didn't believe it so, after all, what existence is the shire? How can their master compare to it?

Yan Meng smiled and nodded, but of course, that is just to relieve Fei Lin of her worry.

All of them followed the elder up.

Nantian and Xuan Yuan sighed, all of them are as poor as a rat in front of these people, especially Nantian who only have a hundred spirit stones, not even a low-grade spirit stone!

As soon as they reached the second floor, they were assaulted by a massively strong spiritual energy.

Shu Tianan wanted to buy something but almost puke a mouthful of blood when he saw the first item.

Tier 10 Soul Weapon

Tyrant Emperor's Grande Sword

9,000 high-grade spirit stones.

Tier 1Royal Quasi Armament

Robe of the Flame Emperor

81,911 high-grade spirit stones.

Too expensive!

But he's willing to stake it all, if he can really afford to buy something that Fei Lin fancies, then, it'll definitely be worth it.

His father had already given him the go for it, money can be earned, but a permanent connection with one of the five families of the Alchemy Association is something that's really hard to get! 

But as soon as he looked at Fei Lin, she was staring at a weapon on display.

Ancient Chaotic Era

Tier 6 Royal Quasi Weapon

Guzheng, Serenity of the Heavenly Spring

10,000,000 high-grade spirit stones.

Trade is also possible.

Shu Tianan immediately puked out blood
