A short while after the worker entered, a short and stout old man with a shrewd face walked out. Compared to the mortals and the young workers, the old man was rather calm when he saw the display of treasures. However, Xing Jue could see a trace of delight in his eyes.
"Hehe, dear customer, are you planning to exchange all of these treasures for Saint Stone Beads?" The old man asked with a smile as he walked to the front of the counter.
"Yes, I still have something to do. Please hurry up," Xing Jue said indifferently.
"Alright, please wait for a moment, it will be done soon."
"Go, hand over all the people behind you and let this customer account for them." Seeing that Xing Jue really wanted to exchange all the treasures, the old man was immediately overjoyed and yelled to the people behind him.
Then, a few waiters hurriedly ran out from the back room and began to count the treasures on the counter for Xing Jue. Looking at the scene in front of them, the people behind Xing Jue widened their eyes.
This was especially true for the ugly woman. She had been arrogantly looking down on Xing Jue, but at this moment, she was smiling ambiguously at Xing Jue. However, Xing Jue didn't dare to look at the ugly woman's smile directly, so he could only look outside.
As for the number of treasures, Xing Jue already knew when he took them out, so Xing Jue was not worried at all that the pawnshop would cheat him.
In the pawnshop, Xing Jue had caused quite a commotion. Outside the pawnshop, Uncle Pang was a little impatient. He paced back and forth anxiously, stopping from time to time to look at the pawnshop. After letting out a long sigh, he started pacing again.
As a citizen of the county, Uncle Pang knew that although the people who frequented the pawnshop were not high-ranking officials or nobles, they were still rather influential people. Therefore, he was really afraid that Xing Jue would cause trouble. However, with his status, he did not dare to go inside to look for Xing Jue, so he could only wait anxiously.
"Young Master Xing, if you want to pawn anything next time, you must come to my shop. I will give you a discount."
"Well said, well said!"
However, at this moment, Uncle Pang noticed a group of people walking out from the entrance of the pawnshop. Looking over, the person in the lead was none other than Xing Jue. Looking at the few people beside Xing Jue, Uncle Pang couldn't help but be startled, because that was actually the owner of the pawnshop.
This old man, who had always been overbearing and domineering, was now bowing and bowing to Xing Jue with an attentive smile on his face. As for those fellows who relied on their master's power, they were all smiling foolishly at Xing Jue.
What Uncle Pang couldn't believe was that Xing Jue didn't seem to buy their attentive smiles. He merely smiled faintly and walked towards Uncle Pang.
"Uncle Pang, let's go to the best inn in the county." Walking in front of Uncle Pang, Xing Jue patted Uncle Pang's shoulder.
"Okay!" Seeing this, Uncle Pang hurriedly turned around and quickly led Xing Jue towards the center of the county. The reason why he was in such a hurry to leave was not because he was in a hurry to find a place to stay, but because he was afraid of being recognized by the owner of the pawnshop. This was because Uncle Pang was innately afraid of such a powerful person.
"Hey, Boss, isn't that the tramp who came to exchange for a Totem?"
However, even though Uncle Pang turned around quickly and took large strides towards the distance, he still couldn't escape the gaze of the pawnshop assistant.
The reason why this shop assistant remembered him was because Uncle Pang had used all his belongings to exchange for a Spirit Tool at this pawnshop not long ago. However, that Spirit Tool was of inferior quality, so the shop assistant remembered him clearly.
"It really is that tramp. Damn it, he's really lucky to have received such a rich mortal." Seeing this, the owner of the pawnshop revealed a displeased expression. It could also be said to be an expression of jealousy.
"Scholar's Inn? Is this the best inn in the county? Not bad, it's quite imposing. "
Under Uncle Pang's lead, Xing Jue and the rest quickly arrived in front of a luxurious inn. Rather than calling it an inn, it would be better to call it a huge palace.
The richly carved beams and painted rafters, the imposing red walls and green tiles, formed a sharp contrast with the short and simple pavilions around it.
"Eh … No, no, Xing Jue, we've gone the wrong way."
At this moment, Uncle Pang was still immersed in fear of the pawnshop owner. However, Xing Jue's words woke him up. When he looked at the magnificent inn in front of him, he was instantly dumbfounded.
This was not the place he wanted to bring Xing Jue to. In other words, this was a place they shouldn't have come to. However, when Xing Jue told him to go to the best inn, he subconsciously brought Xing Jue to this place. Only now did he regain his senses.
"Wrong way? Isn't this an inn? "Seeing that Uncle Pang was actually pulling him away, Xing Jue asked in confusion.
"This is indeed an inn, but this is not an inn we can come to," Uncle Pang replied in a panic.
"What do you mean by this is not an inn we can come to?" Hearing Uncle Pang's words, Xing Jue became even more curious.
"Xing Jue, this Zhuang Yuan Inn is not an ordinary inn, because- because- it's too expensive. It's not something we can afford to stay in," Uncle Pang forcefully explained when he saw that Xing Jue insisted on asking.
"Expensive? Heh … "Hearing Uncle Pang's words, Xing Jue could not help but smile. However, his smile confused Uncle Pang.
Bang!
Suddenly, Xing Jue's Soul Devouring Token flashed and a blue sack landed on the ground. The heavy thud clearly showed how heavy the sack was.
"What's this?" Filled with curiosity, Uncle Pang extended his hand towards the unsealed bag. When he opened the bag and saw what was inside, the puzzled expression on his face instantly froze.
"Saint Stone Orbs, so many Saint Stone Orbs. My god, y-y-you …"
Looking at the countless pearl-sized, dark-blue Saint Stone Orbs in the sack, Uncle Pang was completely dumbfounded. Shock was written all over his face. This was the first time he had seen so many Saint Stone Orbs in his life. It was enough for him to live a carefree life for the rest of his life.
"Is this enough? I'll take all my expenses before I enter the Prophecy Unit from here. The rest is yours, "Xing Jue smiled at Uncle Pang, then walked towards the Zhuang Yuan Inn.
Xing Jue had used several thousand high grade treasures to exchange for two sacks of Saint Stone Orbs. He had given one sack to Uncle Pang and another for himself.
He also knew that the sack of Saint Stone Orbs was enough for his expenses before he entered the Prophecy Unit, and there would still be a lot left. The reason why he gave the entire bag to Uncle Pang was because he wanted to help Uncle Pang improve his living environment.
"It's enough, it's enough, it's more than enough." Uncle Pang was overjoyed when he heard Xing Jue's words. He was so excited that his heart was about to jump out of his chest. With so many Saint Stone Orbs, Xing Jue would probably receive more than the rewards from the Prophecy Unit if he successfully entered the Prophecy Unit.
After a moment of excitement, Uncle Pang hurriedly put the Saint Stone Orbs into his old storage bracelet and followed after Xing Jue.
Due to his excitement, Uncle Pang forgot to tell Xing Jue another reason why he should not come to the Zhuang Yuan Inn. It was because there were many powerful mortals from the inn, which was why it had such a name.
Currently, the Zhuang Yuan Inn was the residence of the top-ranked mortals from the mainland on the New Star Leaderboard.
In reality, the reception platforms in the Starfall Empire could only receive mortals from certain continents. Because of this, the empire already knew which reception platforms could receive powerful mortals from other continents.
However, the price of receiving mortals from those reception platforms was extremely high. It was not something that someone like Uncle Pang could afford to rent. Those who could rent reception platforms of that level were naturally rich and powerful people. Therefore, putting aside how powerful the mortals living there were, just the people who received them was extremely powerful.
When they entered the Zhuang Yuan Inn, it was time to eat. Because all the customers were eating in their rooms, the huge hall of the inn was rather quiet. After renting two good rooms, Xing Jue directly entered the guest room and lay down on the bed.
At this moment, Xing Jue was lying on the huge and comfortable bed. He finally showed signs of fatigue. How long had it been since he came to the Asura Continent from the Tianwu Continent? Even he himself did not know what he had experienced. However, the tattered clothes he was wearing told him that this journey was not as simple as it seemed. That was why he was so tired.
However, even though he was exhausted, he did not immediately fall asleep. Instead, he took out two unique tokens. One of them was the Imperial Wind Token of the Yufeng Pavilion, and the other was the Asura Token of the Asura Palace. Both tokens had a special function, which was to transmit information.
Although he did not know if he could successfully transmit information here, Xing Jue still wanted to inform Li Xiaohan, Nangong Shuiyue, and the others that he was safe. After transmitting the general situation of this place to them, Xing Jue finally closed his heavy eyes. With his body full of fatigue, he entered the sweet land of dreams.
"Oh ~ Oh ~ Oh ~"
"Hahaha, again! Again!"
However, not long after Xing Jue entered the land of dreams, a clamor of shouts came from outside the door. The noise was so loud that it forcibly woke Xing Jue from his dream.
"F * ck, it's already dark. Why aren't you sleeping? What are you doing?"
Xing Jue was already in a bad mood after being woken up. Looking at the starry night sky outside through the window, he became even more furious.
"Bang!"
With the anger in his heart, Xing Jue jumped down from the bed and kicked the door open. He walked out of the guest room, wanting to see who had disturbed his sweet dreams.
Looking around, Xing Jue was shocked to find that the hall, which was empty when they arrived, was now filled with dozens of people.
Because the execution took place on the second floor, the attic below could clearly see the attire of the group of people below. All of them were wearing Spirit Tools, but all of them were at the Initial Stage Battle-Saint level. It could be seen that they were all mortals who had just arrived on the Shura Continent, and they were indeed extraordinary people.
