Hundred Treasures House
There were many families in West Wind City, and the Shui family was ranked at the top … even the city lord's residence had to be respectful to the Shui family.
Today, someone had actually dared to mock Shui Qianyue in the West Wind Auction House, and in public at that. This undoubtedly shocked everyone.
Shui Chongxian and Shui Qianyue stood where they were, their faces both angry and embarrassed. They felt their cheeks burn, as they had completely lost face.
"Hidden experts most likely have strange tempers, don't mind them, patriarch Shui." Meng Qing came back to his senses and hurried to save the situation.
Shui Chongxian's face looked better as he laughed dryly, "Manager Meng worries too much, I naturally won't take these words to heart. It's getting late, I'll take my leave first."
After speaking, Shui Chongxian took Shui Qianyue and left the auction house.
After they left, a wave of roaring laughter sounded within the auction house. The great Shui family had been mocked in public, but didn't dare to speak up. They had to swallow this grievance.
This news was too explosive and would absolutely shake the entire city!
Walking out of the West Wind Auction House, Shui Qianyue heard the laughter behind her and her face was extremely ugly. She gritted her teeth and said, "When have I, Shui Qianyue, ever suffered such humiliation. Father, immediately send people to investigate the background of that old fellow, I must take revenge!"
"Qianyue, be quiet."
Shui Chongxian made a shushing gesture and looked around, saying with a serious expression, "When I was inspecting the incantation just now, I discovered that the ink on it hadn't dried yet. My guess is that this incantation was written not too long ago."
"In other words, that hidden expert just now was able to copy a middle level Spirit level martial art. His strength is so strong that it's very likely that he has stepped into the earth spirit realm, or even higher!"
"Earth spirit expert?" Shui Qianyue's gaze focused slightly.
In the entire West Wind City, the strongest person was the lord of West Wind City, but he was only at the ninth level of Spirit Gathering, one step away from the earth spirit realm.
That black-robed old man actually had such a high cultivation. No wonder he dared to mock the Shui Clan in public.
"With such strength, even in the Dreamy Cloud Martial Palace, he could become an elder. We can't offend him because of a moment of anger, and we can't investigate him in secret. Otherwise, our Shui Clan will pay a heavy price."
Hearing Shui Chongxian's words, Shui Qianyue nodded her head repeatedly. The hatred on her face was replaced by fear and trepidation.
Shui Chongxian's eyes flickered with a sharp light. "You don't have to be so worried about this matter. These hidden experts come and go like the wind, and most likely won't stay in West Wind City for too long. Yue 'er, your Wu Ling is a black water spirit fox, it will be much easier for her to cultivate the [Nine Layered Waves of Blue Waves]. After returning, you should go into seclusion and cultivate, strive to break through the shackles of cultivation, and step into the spirit gathering realm."
"Alright!" Shui Qianyue nodded. She was now at the ninth level of Tempered Body, and was only one step away from stepping into the spirit gathering realm. At that time, she would be the undisputed number one genius of West Wind City.
However, while Shui Qianyue was deep in thought, Chu Xingyun's figure involuntarily appeared in her mind.
"The more I look at the back of that hidden expert, the more familiar I feel. It seems to be somewhat similar to Chu Xingyun."
As this thought flashed through her mind, Shui Qianyue's lips curled into a sneer.
"Chu Xingyun is only at the second level of Tempered Body. Wu Ling is useless, cowardly, and a complete piece of trash. How could he be related to a hidden expert? I must be overthinking."
Shui Qianyue muttered to herself and no longer let her imagination run wild. She quickly walked towards the Shui Family.
… …
After leaving the West Wind Auction House, Chu Xingyun entered the trading area and arrived in front of the Hundred Treasures Building.
The Hundred Treasures Building was located in the middle of the trading area. It was magnificent and had five floors, and was extremely eye-catching. Martial artists passing by would all come in to take a look. Some came to buy Spirit ingredients and pills, while others came to buy some weapons. There was an endless stream of people.
Just as Chu Xingyun entered the Hundred Treasures Building, a slightly plump old man walked over with a smile. "Young master, may I ask what you are here to buy?"
"Hmm?" Hearing this, Chu Xingyun's face was slightly startled.
At that moment, he was still wearing a large black cloak that covered his entire body. However, this old man was able to tell with a single glance that he was a youth. Just from his eyesight, one could tell that he was not an ordinary person.
The old man still had a smile on his face as he said, "I am Qin Shan, the Lord of the Hundred Treasures Building. If young master needs anything, please do not hesitate to ask."
"My surname is Chu." Chu Xingyun no longer lowered his voice and directly said, "I need to buy thirty Body Tempering Pills and ten Spirit Nourishing Pills. Does the Hundred Treasures Building have any in stock?"
"Body Tempering Pills and Spirit Nourishing Pills. The former is used to refine one's physique, while the latter is used to increase one's cultivation speed. Although they are both First Grade Pills, their prices are not cheap. If young master Chu Xingyun went to other stores, you may not be able to buy them." Qin Shan said with a smile. He stood up and welcomed Chu Xingyun into an elegant room.
Not long after, a green-clothed servant walked in, holding an antique wooden box in both hands. The wooden box had not yet been opened, but one could smell the fresh fragrance of pills, refreshing the mind.
"These are the Pills that young master Chu wants. Thirty Body Tempering Pills and ten Spirit Nourishing Pills. The total value is one hundred thousand taels of silver. After a ten percent discount, it is ninety thousand taels of silver." Qin Shan smiled slightly.
Chu Xingyun said with a smile, "Ninety thousand taels of silver, it is not expensive."
As he said this, he opened the wooden box and picked up one of the jade bottles, preparing to carefully inspect it.
However, when Chu Xingyun picked up one of the Body Tempering Pills, his eyebrows wrinkled and the smile on his face froze. Qin Shan was stunned and asked, "Young master Chu, is there a problem?"
Chu Xingyun did not immediately answer. Instead, he picked up the other jade bottle and poured out the Spirit Nourishing Pills.
Looking at the two Pills on the table, Chu Xingyun's tone became cold and said, "Shopkeeper Qin, the quality of these Pills is too low, isn't it?"
In his previous life, Chu Xingyun was the Tyrant Martial Emperor who made people tremble in fear upon hearing his name. His battle strength was unparalleled.
However, what people did not know was that he also had profound attainments in the Alchemy Dao and was ranked as an Eighth Grade Alchemist.
The quality of the Body Tempering Pills and Spirit Nourishing Pills in front of him were extremely low. Not only was the heat not enough, but even the impurities were not completely removed. In terms of medicinal efficacy, it was only a pitiful forty percent, or even less.
"Young master Chu, our Hundred Treasures Building has stood tall for a hundred years. The Pills that we refine are all made by experienced Alchemists. You can rest assured about the quality of the Pills." Qin Shan's tone became cold, thinking that Chu Xingyun was here to cause trouble.
