Chapter Twenty Jade Pavilion

  I forgot to put the draft in the mailbox yesterday, second update. I'm on a midnight shift, from 4 pm to 12 am, so both updates rely on the mailbox.

  I was wrong, the update volume will never be less!

  The entire city of fallen leaves, what attracts attention most is still the towering jade building in the center of the city.

  This building is called Jade Pavilion, mainly engaged in consignment, purchasing and tasks, with excellent reputation. It's not just one pavilion, but the Jade Pavilions are all over the nine states, rumored to be backed by a certain elder of the Four Holy Halls after his death.

  6 Chen and Zhang Dageng parted ways with several others, agreeing to meet at the city gate at a certain time. As for He Wu, Zhang Dageng and Zhu Gan might be worried, but 6 Chen already had a plan in mind.

  "It's forbidden to make a move in the city, but it's okay outside; now that I've bought the talisman, what is there to fear?"

  Sixth day of the first month, one road and four directions, occasionally inquiring, finally eyes fell on the Jade Pavilion.

  The Jade Pavilion's grand entrance was five meters wide, decorated with luxurious furnishings. Monks came and went, nodding slightly as they passed by. With a deep breath, he strode in, already knowing that the Spirit Gathering Grass could be exchanged for contribution points at the Qingyun Gate, but outside, it would be exchanged for spirit stones.

  Ling Stone, a unique stone formed by the convergence of spiritual energy, has a wide range of uses and is the most common item traded among cultivators.

  Not long after, the 130 first-class spirit stones exchanged for all the gathered Aggregating Spirit Grasses made him almost faint from sudden happiness. He was very glad about his decision to kill the demon snake!

  "Sir, would you like to buy something?"

  Before his eyes, a woman with a stunning beauty said. The woman was wearing a pink gauze skirt, with curves that were as slender as a willow branch. If she were to be placed in the mortal world, she would undoubtedly be a beauty capable of toppling cities and kingdoms. However, in the eyes of a cultivator, she merely belonged to the upper echelons.

  "Let me take a look!" 6 Chen tried to lower his voice, appearing somewhat mysterious and profound. In reality, he was still feeling delighted and proud of himself for becoming the master of the estate!

  "Follow me!"

  The woman in pink was slightly surprised, she had great confidence in her own charm, and most of the time when she met a cultivator, they would make some moves on her and then give her some spiritual stones as a reward, unless it was an old monster who had lived for thousands of years or someone who killed people like flies.

  However, this young boy is only in his teens, in the prime of youth, and since he is unmoved, let alone his low cultivation, not a noble son, and the beautiful women he has seen should not be many.

  "May I ask what you'd like to buy?" The woman in pink clothing spoke softly, giving off a gentle and moving aura.

  With a cold and detached expression, he glanced at the woman, his eyes falling on her white twin peaks, and his heart felt like it was being scratched by a cat. He thought to himself: "No wonder she's from the Jade Pavilion, even the maids are so bold and unrestrained. The necklace around her neck must be extremely expensive."

  "I want to buy Ling Bao, can you introduce some?"

  The woman in pink clothes showed a professional smile: "Please follow me!" She was extremely impressed by the boy's calmness, although he had lost his mind earlier, but he quickly recovered and became indifferent.

  Arriving on the second floor, all kinds of ritual objects are scattered everywhere. In the corner, colorful talismans hang high.

  The woman in pink began to introduce, 6 Chen followed closely behind, he couldn't bear it anymore, his eyes shining brightly. After familiarizing himself with the effects of several spiritual symbols, he immediately said: "One spiritual symbol for one spiritual stone, Water Explosion Symbol 50 pieces, Fireball Symbol 10 pieces, Lightweight Symbol 10 pieces, Flash Symbol 10 pieces, Body Protection Symbol 10 pieces, a total of 100 spiritual stones!"

  The 6th coin calculation made the woman in pink clothes slightly surprised, she smiled slightly, just about to leave, but immediately felt that this boy who had been indifferent before showed a moved expression, his eyes were teary, as if he was about to cry.

  "This little guy is so weird..."

  She thought for a moment, then stepped forward lightly and handed him a small jade box.

  "All the Ling Symbols you mentioned are here!"

  He handed over the spirit stone with a satisfied smile after glancing through it, then he surprisingly smiled at the woman and headed towards the third floor.

  The woman in pink was taken aback, her jade-like hands slightly moving, as if she wanted to pinch someone's face: "This smile is too weird, there's a dimple on the right side but not on the left..."

  The law enforcement officer on the third floor saw 6 Chen and felt a pang in his heart, having an urge to buy everything back home, but unfortunately it was too expensive, so he continued upstairs.

  The fifth floor is where tasks are received, as the name suggests. Some urgent materials or difficult things can be solved here.

  He rubbed his chin, looking at each one with some expectation. At present, he had a thousand Qingyun contribution points, some elixirs, 100 spiritual symbols, and five first-class law enforcement instruments. The small warehouse at the bottom of the pond had been thoroughly cleaned out.

  As for the spirit stones, he only had thirty left and became a poor ghost again, so he wanted to find suitable tasks to exchange for money.

  At 6 o'clock, after a few glances, his eyes suddenly lit up, and one of them read: Xi Ling River collects water spirit sand, one vehicle for one low-grade spirit stone, as much as you collect!

  "This seems easy, but why doesn't anyone take it?" 6 Chen left a heart eye, but did not rush to take over, the Spirit River made him think of what was said in the envelope, the Spirit Insect, but didn't know if it was the same.

  If so, it's indeed very dangerous, after all that is something even Xuan Tian fears.

  Further down, one of the task records: Urgently needed cloud ink snake unicorn, price is negotiable!

  He was overjoyed and thought to himself, "What's the use of this unicorn? Now that it can be exchanged for money!"

  After receiving the task, someone immediately inspected the goods. Once confirmed, they immediately let 6 Chen Jing wait for the master and set up incense and tea to serve.

  Not long after, a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes came up to the third floor. He looked anxious all over his face. After paying the deposit, he immediately walked towards 6 Chen.

  There are two types of missions in Jade Pavilion. One is through the Jade Pavilion as an intermediary, with spirit stones as rewards, and the other is a direct conversation with the mission giver.

  "This Daoist friend, how much for the Cloud Ink Horn?" The young man's expression was slightly anxious, apparently he had been waiting for this thing for a long time. No wonder, the Cloud Ink Snake appeared in the Chaotic Demon Sea and possessed the mysterious Cloud Ink Divine Ability, which made it difficult for cultivators to capture.

  He glanced at it lightly, took a sip of tea, and Yun Mo had already inquired clearly that the material was first-rate, with a price around 100 low-grade spirit stones. Although it was rare, its use was not widespread, and it was generally refined for use as spiritual armor.

  "A fixed price, one spiritual stone, 150 pieces!" 6 Chen was like an old shopkeeper.

  "Isn't this too expensive?" The young man's face changed, and he immediately took out his storage bag to calculate, a moment later, bitterly saying: "Fellow Taoist, I only have eighty spirit stones, this..."

  "Otherwise, I'll borrow some from relatives for a few days!"

  Sixth Tathagata shook his head slightly, a penny for a penny's worth of goods, who has an account to borrow?

  "This Daoist friend, I am a disciple of the Feather Transformation Sect. When the time comes, you can come to my door to find me. For now, I really don't have enough spirit stones." The thick-browed youth looked very anxious, his spiritual armor had almost all the materials gathered, and was only missing the Cloud Ink Horn.

  At 6 o'clock, he took a sip of tea: "Do you have any valuable items on you, such as Ling Jia, Fa Ju, or even second- or third-grade magical instruments?"

  The young man with thick eyebrows said bitterly: "Fellow Taoist, what you're saying has long surpassed the price of Yunmo's corner. I do have a technique, but our sect has rules, right? Alright, I have a set of techniques that didn't come from our sect, how about adding this one?"

  Upon hearing this, 6 Chen felt somewhat expectant.

  That young man said, "This magic trick is called 'Three-Part Divine Awareness'. It's actually a small trick. You're also new to the immortal sect, right? Have you heard of this before when you were a kid? An immortal waves his hand and the door closes automatically, raises an eyebrow and teacups and chopsticks float everywhere, it's that kind of thing."

  Here is the translation:

  "Speaking of which, the young man felt a bit awkward: "This is just a trivial technique, not very effective against enemies, and it requires strict control over one's spiritual energy. Unless you have a spirit-gathering artifact, it's just a waste of spiritual power."

  The young man did not want to cheat 6 Chen, after all, this trick was very ordinary and could be bought everywhere.

  At 6:00, the method of refining and grinding is simply to divide the divine consciousness into hands, controlling all kinds of things. However, if the controlled objects have no spiritual energy, the attack will be like ordinary objects, and the requirements for divine consciousness are also high.

  "Right, the Sword Controlling Technique emphasizes one sword, I've learned three parts of the Divine Sense, controlling five swords at once. Adding to that, the five flying swords have an Array of Gathering Spirit, even if I'm facing a Qi Refining fourth or fifth layer cultivator, relying on the flying swords not consuming spiritual energy, I can exhaust him to death!" 6th Zhen said quietly.

  He is extremely familiar with the realm of practicing Qi, from the fourth to the fifth layer. Ordinary moves come with spiritual energy, increasing attack power, and the Array Flying Sword has this effect too, it's just expensive, plus the disciples in the sect are used to using spiritual energy to attack, so no one uses it.

  "Seeing how sincere you are, I can accept this 'Three-Part Divine Sense' after all. However, the price is still too low. Do you have anything else?"

  The young man hesitated and took out a pearl: "Avoid water pearl, entering the bottom of the water, can form an isolation membrane, and thus never drown." As soon as he finished speaking, he was extremely embarrassed.

  Bring out two objects that are useless, three points of divine consciousness playing around, avoiding water droplets. After practicing the four-layered skin membrane, it becomes strong and powerful. When entering the water, cover with spiritual energy, and you will not drown at all.

  "Hmm, neither of these is very good for meeting people. How about this, I'll take both, and if you help me with one more thing, that's fine." 6 Chen shook his head in disappointment, but his eyes sparkled like a small fox, evading the water droplets. He had heard of it before and had wanted to get one for a long time.

  Ordinary cultivators, once in the water, need to control their spiritual energy to cover their entire body. But as soon as they put on the small black fish on their body, their true self falls into a deep sleep. Where is the control over spiritual energy? Once you fall into the water, just wait to be drowned.

  While avoiding water droplets can solve this shortcoming, in the future when someone is unable to win, Xiao Hei Yu will take a bite of its own body and run away quickly, neither drowning nor running slowly.

  "Daoist friend, what's...what's going on?" The thick-browed youth was in the Condensing Spirit stage, but when talking to this Qi-refining junior fellow practitioner, he felt like he was always at a disadvantage.

  "Don't worry, it's not a bad thing!"
