Chapter 34.1
The medicinal pills used after advancing to the third level of Qi Condensation had to be upgraded. Li Tianyan, facing financial constraints, hadn’t taken a medicinal bath for a long time. Yet, he couldn’t abandon the halfway point of body training. The matter couldn’t be delayed for too long.
“Yes, young master.” After Li Tianyan’s instructions, Li Wu abandoned his work, clapped his hands, and rushed to the stable in the backyard.
Cheng Qi, standing next to Li Tianyan, kept his head down, curiously studying the green bag in his hand. Given by Li Tianyan early that morning, it was called a storage bag, capable of containing items as large as four cows. Cheng Qi couldn’t fathom fitting cows into such a small bag.
Seeing Li Wu bringing the carriage, Cheng Qi quickly stowed the storage bag. It contained five hundred taels of silver notes, pocket money from Li Tianyan for him to use as he pleased.@@@@
This time, the three of them ventured out together, attracting considerable attention upon entering the city. It was Li Tianyan’s first appearance after separation, sparking curiosity and inquiries from the people of Jincheng.
Li Tianyan disregarded the surrounding comments and headed straight to Laibao Pavilion, the city’s finest treasure shop. If he couldn’t find something suitable here, he might have to go to Yuncheng.
Previously, when Li Tianyan visited Laibao Pavilion, the shopkeeper personally attended to him. After all, few young men from aristocratic families in Jincheng would casually purchase a hairpin worth over 10,000 taels. However, today, as soon as the shopkeeper saw them, he immediately feigned busyness and dispatched a clerk to greet them.
The clerk, noticing the shopkeeper’s signal, hastened forward and greeted, “Young Master Li, what are you looking for today? I can introduce it to you.”
Li Tianyan didn’t mind the change in the shopkeeper’s attitude. He simply told the waiter, “Is there anything outstanding? I need a better cauldron.”
The waiter responded enthusiastically, “Young Master Li is seeking a cauldron, so you’re in luck. We just received some good-looking ones yesterday. I’ll show you.”
“Lead the way.” Li Tianyan nodded.
He couldn’t afford the 180,000 taels, and Li Tianyan really didn’t like the others. When he was about to leave, the waiter who received him said at the right time, “If Young Master Li doesn’t like these, we still have some foreign items in Laibao Pavilion. Why don’t I take you to see those treasures?”
“Yes.” Li Tianyan became interested when he heard about the foreign items and also wanted to see what other places in the Hengwu Continent had.
.
The shopkeeper, who had been secretly observing the group, wore a look of disdain on his face. How could Li Tianyan afford items from their Laibao Pavilion now? He was just pretending.
“Shopkeeper, I heard that you received a batch of new goods yesterday. Unpack and let me see them,” Mu Nanfeng and Cheng Si walked into Laibao Pavilion. Seeing the shopkeeper still stunned, they raised their hands and leaned on the counter.
“Young Master Mu and Young Lady Cheng are here.” The shopkeeper greeted them with a smile and retrieved a rectangular box from the shelf behind him.
“Knowing that Young Master Mu excels in using swords, I’ve kept a this one for you. Check if it meets your standards,” Mu Nanfeng, currently unable to use semi-spiritual weapons, found a soft silver sword in the box. The hilt was adorned with a few blue rock pine stones, adding an aura to the sword.
“Yes, it’s indeed a fine sword.” Mu Nanfeng couldn’t resist touching the blue rock turquoise stones on the sword.
Seizing the opportunity, the shopkeeper suggested, “If Young Master Mu likes it, I can offer a discount. This sword is priced at fifteen thousand taels. Don’t worry about the higher cost; the blue rock pine is used for crafting semi-spiritual weapons. We also have a cauldron here, worth 180,000 taels.”
Mu Nanfeng hesitated. Despite bringing out all his savings, it was just over 10,000 taels. To buy the sword, he might need credit from Laibao Pavilion.
“Laibao Pavilion’s offerings are improving,” remarked Cheng Si, impressed by the sword. However, having recently spent a lot on a favorite hairpin, she resigned herself to admiration.
