Chapter 51

"Miss, you haven't done any business for about three months. The Pavilion Master ordered you to make a deal worth no less than five thousand spirit stones every three months. The young man from the last successful transaction has come again today. What do you think about going to see him?"

The fourth layer of the Spirit Gathering Pearl's seal had been released, allowing one to obtain a medium-grade spirit stone per day. Over two months, Lin Haoming had earned another seven to eight thousand spirit stones. Therefore, before going to Red Leaf Mountain, he came to the Treasure Pavilion again.

Under the guidance of the same petite and graceful girl as last time, Lin Haoming arrived at the Qun Jia room once more.

Looking at the room he had visited before, Lin Haoming had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, when he pushed the door open, he found the same icy beauty sitting inside.

"Senior!" Lin Haoming forced a smile and greeted her, then sat in the same spot Qin Aorou had indicated last time.

"Hmm, what do you want today?" Qin Aorou asked Lin Haoming with no warmth, her usual cold demeanor.

"Junior is here to ask if there are any pills that can nourish the spirit or cultivation techniques for enhancing the spirit," Lin Haoming inquired.

"Of course, there are pills to nourish the spirit, but cultivation techniques for enhancing the spirit are not suitable for you at your current level. Practicing them would be harmful, and it would be useless for you to obtain them!" Qin Aorou said frankly.

Lin Haoming was speechless. This icy beauty was just as cold as last time, and it seemed she had no idea how to deal with people, let alone do business. Could it be that she was deliberately bullying him because he was just an outer gate disciple at the Qi Condensation stage, and thus assigned to do business with him?

Lin Haoming thought this, and it turned out he was right, though he didn't expect it to be true.

"Senior, does that mean I can't improve my spirit?" Lin Haoming asked again.

He was looking for a way to enhance his spirit because he had no other choice. In fact, his spirit was already above average, but according to the "Divine Bone Technique," the higher one's cultivation, the greater the requirement for the spirit. Only a strong spirit could ensure that one wouldn't suffer unexpected accidents due to extreme pain during cultivation. The old man with the divine bone had regretted not cultivating his spirit earlier, which is why he couldn't advance beyond the seventh layer.

Lin Haoming knew that at the Qi Condensation stage, there were indeed no cultivation techniques for enhancing the spirit. Hearing this, he found it normal.

However, he didn't expect that when he casually asked, Qin Aorou would directly respond, "Of course not. There are many things that can directly enhance a cultivator's spirit, such as the Heaven-Connecting Pill and the Dao Fetus Fruit. There are also some that can provide some benefit, like the Spirit Nourishing Pill. If taken regularly, it can significantly enhance one's spirit over time!"

Lin Haoming, hearing this, would have thought she was just teasing him if he didn't know her character. The Heaven-Connecting Pill and the Dao Fetus Fruit were legendary items. If he had one, he could directly consume it, and without even needing a Foundation Establishment Pill, he could directly reach the Foundation Establishment stage.

"Senior, then please give me some Spirit Nourishing Pills!" Lin Haoming said helplessly. He knew that the Spirit Nourishing Pill was a pill that could nourish the spirit, but it was very expensive, and even Foundation Establishment cultivators couldn't afford it.

"One Spirit Nourishing Pill costs 350 spirit stones, and three cost 1,000 spirit stones. How many do you want?" Qin Aorou asked.

Lin Haoming, hearing this, was speechless. The price was even higher than he expected, which explained why it was only heard of but never seen.

He had only about 7,000 spirit stones in total. Lin Haoming decided to give up on the Spirit Nourishing Pills. "I'll take some Bone Strengthening Pills instead."

"Bone Strengthening Pills?" Qin Aorou took out a jade slip and searched it in front of Lin Haoming. After a while, she said, "One Bone Strengthening Pill costs 30 spirit stones. How many do you want?"

"Thirty, and do you have any talisman treasures worth about 7,000 spirit stones?" Lin Haoming asked with a bitter smile. He had realized that this icy woman had made no progress.

After Lin Haoming spoke, Qin Aorou didn't answer immediately but took out another jade slip to search.

After a while, Qin Aorou put down the jade slip and said, "There are two talisman treasures, both costing 7,000 spirit stones. One is called the Demon-Slaying Sword, and the other is called the Mystic Crystal Pearl."

"Which one do you think is better, Senior?" Lin Haoming asked humbly.

"Neither is particularly good, and both are divided into ten parts, so their power is limited!" Qin Aorou said bluntly.

Lin Haoming, hearing this, cursed himself for asking. Wasn't this a waste of time?

"I'll take the Mystic Crystal Pearl!" Lin Haoming decided. Since the price was the same, it didn't matter which one he chose.

Just like last time, they exchanged money and goods, and Lin Haoming left immediately.

As soon as Lin Haoming left, Elder Lu immediately came to Qin Aorou and asked with a smile, "Miss, how did it go?"

"About the same as last time. That person bought another talisman treasure!" Qin Aorou said coldly to the Great Perfection Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"That kid has quite a lot of spirit stones!" Elder Lu thought curiously.

Since Lin Haoming's last visit, Elder Lu had specially arranged for a few Qi Condensation cultivators to deal with Qin Aorou. However, these cultivators were either poor or didn't know how to conduct transactions when they saw Qin Aorou, which frustrated Elder Lu. Now that the kid had come again, he could finally report to his superiors. He hoped the kid would come more often.

Thinking this, Elder Lu had an idea and immediately disappeared from Qin Aorou's side, appearing in front of the petite and graceful girl.

"Jasmine... Elder Lu!" The girl was very nervous when she saw Elder Lu.

"Do you remember your name is Jasmine?" Elder Lu asked.

"Yes, Elder Lu, you have a great memory!" The girl answered nervously.

"Don't be afraid. Give this VIP jade token to the kid who just went to see Miss!" Elder Lu said.

"Ah! Isn't the VIP jade token only given to those who have made transactions worth over a million spirit stones?" Jasmine was surprised.

"I know, but if we encounter an outstanding junior, we have the right to give one. Don't ask more questions. If you don't go now, he'll be gone!" Elder Lu said.

"Yes!" Jasmine didn't hesitate and immediately took the jade token and left.

Fifteen minutes later, Lin Haoming walked out of the Treasure Pavilion, feeling puzzled.

He had thoroughly investigated the Treasure Pavilion and knew that the VIP jade token was only given to those who had made transactions worth over a million spirit stones, or to outstanding young talents. He didn't have much reputation in the sect, so why would they give him one? Could it be because he bought two talisman treasures?

Lin Haoming couldn't figure it out, but he still accepted the VIP jade token. The Treasure Pavilion had a good reputation in the Yun Continent and wouldn't play tricks on a small Qi Condensation cultivator. They must have seen potential in him, as it was rare for someone to buy two talisman treasures in a short time.

With this, he could get a 10% discount at the Treasure Pavilion, which was a good deal.
