Chapter 56 Jade Pearl Pavilion
On the second day after entering the market, Zhang Yuanhua and his companion began to busy themselves with various family affairs.
Zhang Lingyu came to the so-called Jade Pearl Pavilion in order to gain access to the underground trading fair.
This place is not in a bustling area, and there are not many cultivators coming and going from the shops. Although most of them come out quickly after entering, they show a satisfied look on their faces.
"That's really impressive."
Zhang Lingyu raised an eyebrow slightly, put on a human skin mask, and with a flash of spiritual light, his entire face and aura changed.
This item was obtained from a heretical cultivator in Fire Cloud Valley, and it is quite useful.
In this situation, it's best not to expose yourself.
After making preparations, I stepped inside and was greeted by a dense array of shelves, but the items on display were very few and of low quality.
It's hard for ordinary people to imagine that this is doing business in a market.
"Senior, what do you need?"
As soon as he entered, a beautiful woman came forward to greet him. Zhang Lingyu was slightly surprised, not expecting that a maid would have the cultivation level of the fifth level of Qi Refining.
He had intended to look around the shop first, but there didn't seem to be anything of interest there, so he got straight to the point:
"Is Steward Wan here? I need to speak with him about something."
Upon hearing this, the woman immediately understood, her smile widening as she said, "So it's a distinguished guest. Please follow me."
Zhang Lingyu followed the other person up to the third floor, but the two stopped at the top of the stairs on the second floor. After a brief inspection, they discovered that there was a restriction.
The woman took out a token, a flash of light passing through it, and waited a few breaths before stepping forward.
Once on the third floor, there were significantly fewer shelves than on the first and second floors, but the variety of pills and magical artifacts on them was dazzling.
Moreover, there were quite a few monks selecting items here.
"This must be where Jade Pearl Pavilion actually sells its products."
Zhang Lingyu felt an overwhelming sense of curiosity; she would definitely take a good look at the underground trading fair once she obtained the qualification to enter.
The woman led him into the room, bowed, and said, "Please wait a moment, esteemed guest. Steward Wan is currently entertaining other distinguished guests and will be here shortly."
Thank you.
Zhang Lingyu didn't pay much attention. Most of the cultivators who could come to this third floor were like him, not to mention that the number of people would probably be even greater now that the auction was about to begin.
After waiting a short while, a fat cultivator squeezed in from outside the door, his face beaming, and bowed, saying:
"I am Wan Zhenshan from Yuzhu Pavilion. Greetings, fellow Daoist."
"Oh dear, I've had so many distinguished guests lately that I'm overwhelmed and that's why I'm a little late. Please forgive me if I've been inadequate in my hospitality."
"You're too kind, Steward Wan. My name is Zhang Chulan."
When he's out and about, he naturally won't use his real name.
However, Zhang Lingyu glanced over and discovered that the other party's cultivation level was actually comparable to that of his own Grand Elder Zhang Yuanhua. After a brief moment of shock, he smiled and said:
"It is I, Zhang, who have taken time out of my busy schedule to personally receive you, Steward Wan."
"No, no."
Wan Zhenshan poured him tea and got straight to the point: "Fellow Daoist Zhang, are you here this time for that underground trade fair?"
The underground trading fair of Jade Pearl Pavilion is famous throughout the entire market, but it's not something that just any ordinary cultivator would know about.
Those who can participate in the trade fair are all highly skilled cultivators or members of prestigious sects. Without their guidance, one would probably never know the tricks of the trade fair.
Wan Zhenshan was specifically in charge of this so-called trade fair. Since the other party specifically asked for him by name, what else could it be for?
"Exactly."
"In that case, Fellow Daoist Zhang should know the rules, right?"
"Don't worry, Steward Wan, I know the rules perfectly well."
Zhang Lingyu smiled and handed over the spirit stones she had prepared beforehand to the other party.
Wan Zhenshan weighed it in his hand, nodded in satisfaction, and then took out a token and a mask from his storage bag, instructing them:
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, this is the voucher for the trade fair. Our Jade Pearl Pavilion holds a trade fair every six months. I'm sure you've heard about it. The most recent one was on the night the auction ended."
"As for the ability of this mask to block divine sense, it is to protect the privacy of our valued customers. Once worn, no one can see it at the trade fair."
Zhang Lingyu accepted the items and nodded. Since Jade Pearl Pavilion could hold so many trade fairs, it must have a very good reputation; otherwise, so many people wouldn't want to participate.
After resolving a worry, he didn't leave immediately, but instead asked:
"Deacon Wan, I have some magical artifacts I wish to sell. I wonder if your shop would be willing to take them?"
"There's no inconvenience at all, fellow Daoist, just take it out."
Wan Zhenshan didn't care at all. Yuzhu Pavilion walked both the legal and illegal paths, so what wouldn't they dare to accept?
Putting aside other things, an unknown demonic cultivator even sold him a golden core from a cultivator of an immortal sect.
"it is good."
Overjoyed, Zhang Lingyu immediately took out all the items and pills belonging to the evil cultivator from Fire Cloud Valley and the Ming family. He had originally intended to hand these things over to his family, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.
"Alright, please wait a moment, fellow Daoist."
Although they are all Qi-refining magical artifacts and some second-tier spiritual items, since they are said to be collected, then they are collected.
After waiting for a while, a cultivator came in, examined the magical artifacts and spiritual objects, and then transmitted his voice to his steward.
After hearing this, Wan Zhenshan said:
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, these ten low-grade Qi-refining magic artifacts will cost you 1,500 spirit stones, the three mid-grade ones will cost you 1,300, and the remaining high-grade one, along with the various spiritual items, will cost you 2,000 spirit stones. That's a total of 4,800 spirit stones. How does that sound?"
"OK."
In fact, Zhang Lingyu's desired price was several hundred yuan higher than what the other party offered, but some of these magical artifacts were already damaged, so the price was naturally lower.
Seeing that he had no objections, Wan Zhenshan instructed a nearby cultivator to fetch spirit stones, and then introduced:
"If Fellow Daoist Zhang has some free time, why not take a stroll around our third floor? Jade Pearl Pavilion has all sorts of items; we guarantee you'll be satisfied."
To be honest, Zhang Lingyu's current magical artifacts are at least of the highest grade of Qi Refining, which is more than enough for his current needs. What troubles him are his cultivation techniques, spells, and some hidden methods.
Being well-prepared now will also help us prepare for the challenges ahead.
So he nodded and said, "Perfect timing, I also need to purchase some things, so I'll trouble your shop."
"No trouble at all."
Wan Zhenshan's smile widened, and he called in the woman from before, instructing her, "Rong'er, show Fellow Daoist Zhang around, and be sure to explain things in detail."
"Rong'er understands."
The woman bowed and gestured for them to follow, saying, "Please come with me, senior."
