Chapter 51

These few people were not far from where Jing Yan was standing, and their voices were quite loud, so Jing Yan could hear their conversation clearly.

Hearing what these few people said, Jing Yan only frowned.

People like this are everywhere, common as dirt.

In the past, Jing Yan was hailed as the number one genius of Donglin City, envied, hated, and resented by countless martial artists. Now, falling from the clouds, it's unrealistic to expect no one to kick him while he's down.

The mentality of these people is: weren't you, Jing Yan, very awesome before? Weren't you very high-profile? Weren't you unmatched?

What about now?

Now, aren't you not so awesome anymore? Even we ordinary martial artists are far better than you.

Hmph, serves you right for being so awesome!

Such thoughts and ideas probably exist in the minds of more than half of the martial artists in Donglin City.

Jing Yan also understands this. If he were to pursue every single one of them, he wouldn't have time to cultivate.

So he doesn't bother with it. As long as he returns to the Xiantian realm, these voices will naturally disappear.

Jing Yan looked at the black-robed guards again and shook his head slightly.

It seems I can only buy the Nine Yin Fruit elsewhere.

Actually, although the Nine Yin Fruit is very expensive, due to its low demand, it can be bought in many larger resource trading institutions in Donglin City. Jing Yan came here because going to other places might not have much stock, and he would have to visit each place one by one, which would obviously waste a lot of time and might introduce many variables.

"Master Jing Yan?"

Just as Jing Yan was about to leave, a voice sounded from behind.

Jing Yan turned around.

"Manager Qin?" Jing Yan's frown relaxed, and he smiled when he saw the middle-aged man in a blue robe behind him.

This person is the manager of the First Floor. In the past, Jing Yan had met this person with his grandfather, Jing Tian, and had a good impression of Manager Qin.

"Are you buying resources?" Manager Qin nodded at Jing Yan and asked.

"Yes, I want to buy some resources at Qizhen轩, but I don't have the VIP token here." Jing Yan shook his head helplessly.

"Oh? Don't they let you in?" Manager Qin's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he glanced at the two guards standing outside Qizhen轩.

These two guards immediately lowered their heads when Manager Qin gave them that look.

Manager Qin is an extremely powerful Xiantian expert and the manager of the First Floor, with great authority, being a close associate of the City Lord.

Even if Qizhen轩 is strong, they wouldn't dare to be impolite to Manager Qin, let alone these guards of Qizhen轩.

If they were disrespectful to Manager Qin, they would certainly be dismissed from here without waiting until tomorrow.

"Jing Yan, go in. I want to see who dares to stop you." Manager Qin said in a deep voice.

"This..." Jing Yan was slightly stunned.

"Manager Qin..." One of the black-robed guards, though fearing Manager Qin's authority, still raised his head and mustered the courage to explain, "According to the rules..."

"Shut up, do you want me to show you the VIP token of your Treasure Pavilion?" Manager Qin shouted sternly.

Those with VIP tokens can naturally bring companions into the Treasure Pavilion.

With Manager Qin's status, even if he doesn't have the VIP token of the Treasure Pavilion, would the owner of the Treasure Pavilion not give it to Manager Qin if he asked? Not to mention, Manager Qin definitely has the VIP token of the Treasure Pavilion.

"Thank you, Manager Qin." Jing Yan bowed to Manager Qin.

"Don't be so formal. Your grandfather is my friend, so this is no big deal. By the way, if you need any help, just let me know." Manager Qin smiled and waved his hand.

Manager Qin was clearly very friendly to Jing Yan. Although Jing Yan's realm had fallen and he no longer had his former glory, Manager Qin didn't mind this.

"Is that the manager of the First Floor of Donglin?"

"Really, it's Manager Qin Yu of the First Floor! He's actually so polite to Jing Yan!"

"Tsk tsk, the children of noble families really have privileges. Even a waste is better than us ordinary people!"

The martial artists who had mocked Jing Yan earlier now shook their heads jealously.

With Manager Qin's words, the two guards of the Treasure Pavilion naturally didn't dare to stop Jing Yan.

Jing Yan stepped into the main entrance of the Treasure Pavilion. Being able to buy enough Nine Yin Fruit in one go, Jing Yan naturally didn't want to run around and search from place to place.

If the Ruyi Pavilion in the West District Market had enough Nine Yin Fruit, Jing Yan wouldn't have come to the First Floor of Donglin.

As soon as Jing Yan entered the Treasure Pavilion, several pairs of burning eyes immediately fell on him.

Then, several figures moved slightly, and their eyes quickly turned cold.

Jing Yan's eyes also looked over. He saw five young women in long dresses, with beautiful faces, standing about ten meters away.

Although Jing Yan had never been to the Treasure Pavilion, he had heard about the situation inside. He knew that these women were the receptionists of the Treasure Pavilion. Moreover, these receptionists were all intermediate martial artists, none below the Fourth Heaven of Martial Dao.

The moment Jing Yan entered, most of these women's eyes lit up, ready to vie for the opportunity to serve Jing Yan. However, very quickly, the women who moved the fastest slowed down.

Because they all recognized Jing Yan.

Their work required them to have a good understanding of the young masters and other important figures in Donglin City. So, after recognizing Jing Yan, they couldn't hide their disappointment.

Most of the time, they were actually very proactive in their work. Because their salaries here were very low, and even new employees had no base salary. Their income mainly relied on commissions.

If they served a big client, they could earn a substantial commission, so how could they not be proactive? Therefore, their attitude towards customers was usually very warm, hoping that these big clients would buy all the resources in the Treasure Pavilion. That way, they would also become wealthy.

"Zixuan, you go. Be careful and don't upset the guest." The woman at the front slightly turned her head and whispered to the woman in a green long dress behind her.

Although her voice was very low, it didn't escape Jing Yan's ears. Since practicing the first divine skill of the Cangqiong, his five senses had improved to an astonishing degree. When he was at the Fourth Heaven, he could easily track and hunt spirit beasts in the Blackstone Mountains, and his sharp senses played a significant role.

Hearing what the woman said, Jing Yan smiled inwardly. He knew what this woman was thinking. Clearly, she looked down on him. Probably, these women all thought he was now a pauper, unable to afford the treasures in the Treasure Pavilion, which cost thousands of spirit stones.
