Walking on the street, Yi Tian revealed a relaxed expression. If he had known that his patrol status would have such a use, he would have revealed it earlier.
Previously, in the Thousand Tempering Workshop, Xue Liqi had reminded him that as long as he was a flag officer of the Inspection Department, he could enjoy some privileges and discounts.
Yi Tian now knew, but he didn't want to use his status to suppress others. After all, he didn't know much about the forces in Luoxia City in the new spirit world.
If he met someone who pretended to be a pig to eat a tiger, it would be difficult. Without absolute strength, it was better to keep his tail between his legs and behave.
After coming out of the refining workshop, he went to a few pill stores and found that the pills suitable for Spirit Formation cultivators were all sold at very high prices.
After asking around, he found that the Tongtian Pavilion had the most variety of pills in Luoxia City. However, in the past few days, the Tongtian Pavilion's caravan had been attacked. He didn't know how they would deal with it.
As Yi Tian thought about it, he involuntarily walked towards the Tongtian Pavilion's banner in the city. Not long after, he arrived in front of a five-story building.
After taking a closer look, in the entire Luoxia City, apart from the city lord's mansion, the main department of the Inspection Department was the highest.
Since he was here, he didn't want to miss it. He directly walked into the Tongtian Pavilion's shop. As soon as he entered, a shop assistant came forward to greet him. After Yi Tian stated his request, he was invited to the VIP room on the third floor.
Knowing this, he didn't waste time and directly walked in. In any case, there would be cultivators with similar cultivation to him coming to greet him.
Sure enough, in less than a moment, the door was opened and a female cultivator wearing a palace dress and a veil walked in. Yi Tian saw that this person was only in the middle stage of Yuanying. He wondered if the Tongtian Pavilion looked down on him and only sent such a person to greet him.
When the female cultivator walked into the room, she said, "I'm the shop's second shopkeeper, Ji Wen. May I know what senior wants?"
Yi Tian heard her introduce herself and expected that her identity wasn't simple. Moreover, there should be formations in these rooms to isolate his divine sense.
Since Shopkeeper Ji dared to face a cultivator who was a level higher than her, she naturally had nothing to fear.
After pondering for a moment, Yi Tian did not waste his breath. He took out a jade slip and wrote down the medicinal pills and high-grade materials that he needed to purchase before handing it over to Ji Wen.
After a while, she said, "Senior, please wait a moment." Then, she took the jade slip and left.
Yi Tian always did things neatly, while this female cultivator was also not sloppy. An hour later, when she knocked on the door again, she came in with a few storage bags and handed them over. However, he said, "Senior, there are three high-grade materials in your list. Overlord Dragon Spine, Hundred Refined Soft Essence, and Inky Jade Bamboo, which my humble shop cannot provide."
"I can't provide them," Yi Tian muttered, but he thought to himself, "It's not that I don't have them, it's just that I'm not willing to take them out. It seems like those three items are also in short supply. If I'm too deliberate, it'll easily arouse suspicion."
After thinking for a while, he said, "That's fine. I'm just asking on behalf of someone else."
As a result, he swept the storage bags with his Divine Sense. The ordinary medicinal pills he needed were all available. However, even the ones used to recover spiritual power in the entire city were not as effective as the White Jade Lotus Root.
However, right now, he only had a complete White Jade Lotus Root in his spiritual plant pouch. He was still hoping to transplant it so that he could use it in the future.
Right now, the main materials for the Radiant Separation Sword, Fiery Wheel, and Li Fire Fan were nowhere to be found. Even if he had the Fire Phoenix Feather, he would not be able to refine it into a spiritual tool.
After thinking for a while, he could only give up for now. It would be better for him to find an opportunity to look for these natural treasures in the future.
Then, he took out his Internal Affairs Office identity jade slip and waved it. "I'll pay with merit points. Does your shop have a discount?"
Ji Wen opened her mouth to make up an excuse, but when she saw the words on the identity jade slip, her expression changed. "Senior, is your surname Yi?"
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind. Hua Yuxin had mentioned that she had a close friend who was the shopkeeper of the Tongtian Pavilion. It seemed that it was her.
However, he did not want to be associated with the Tongtian Pavilion, so he could not deny it. Thus, he said in a deep voice, "You know Hua Yuxin?"
"Sister Yu Xin mentioned some time ago that you took care of her many times in the patrol team," Ji Wen said with a knowing smile on her face.
He was afraid of getting involved in the disputes between these factions. As such, he could not just leave like this. After a moment of silence, he said, "Shopkeeper Ji, you should quickly settle the bill. I still have matters to attend to, so I will not disturb you."
Ji Wen was stunned for a moment. Then, she looked at the jade token for a moment before accepting it. Then, a spiritual light flashed and deducted the merit points from it before returning it to Ji Wen.
Yi Tian took the identity jade slip and scanned it with his Divine Sense. He frowned slightly. Only 50 merit points were deducted from the jade slip. After calculating the value of these pills, it seemed that they were only charged at cost price.
He felt that something was wrong and directly said, "Shopkeeper Ji, with the way you do business, I'm afraid your Tongtian Pavilion will soon suffer a loss."
Who knew that Ji Wen didn't mind at all. She smiled and said, "That's better than being targeted and restrained. I have to thank Senior Yi first."
"I don't deserve a reward. I don't have much interaction with the Tongtian Pavilion, so there is no need for Shopkeeper Ji to thank me," Yi Tian said indifferently.
Ji Wen waved her hand and replied, "I have already understood Senior Yi and Sister Hua's teachings. I have also followed Senior's instructions to thoroughly investigate the interior and stop the external goods."
"Shopkeeper Ji, isn't it a bit inappropriate for an outsider to say so much?" Yi Tian said with a playful expression.
"This matter happened because of me. I have implicated the Tongtian Pavilion. Also, other than Sister Hua, there is no one else who can help me," Ji Wen said helplessly.
"Oh, aren't you the shopkeeper of the Tongtian Pavilion?" Yi Tian asked, "Could it be that the faction behind you can't deal with it?"
Ji Wen sighed and slowly explained. It turned out that the Tongtian Pavilion was jointly managed by three great clans, namely the Ji Clan, the Huo Clan, and the Mei Clan.
This time, in order to avoid the marriage contract with the Huo Clan, she came to Luo Xia City. She did not expect the Huo Clan's second young master, Huo Jiong, to secretly follow her. Moreover, this person's thoughts were extreme. If the Tongtian Pavilion's shops in Luo Xia City suffered any damage to their reputation, she would definitely be punished by the Zong Clan. In the end, Huo Jiong would have to step in and clean up the mess.
To be honest, Yi Tian had already guessed that there was something going on, but he did not know that it was his own people in the Tongtian Pavilion who did this. As a result, there were hidden sentries everywhere in the Tongtian Pavilion. This Ji Wen was clearly trying to find outside help.
Yi Tian had no choice but to privately chat with Ji Wen through voice transmission. An hour later, Yi Tian put away his storage bag and swaggered out of the Tongtian Pavilion's main entrance.
