Longevity: Starting from the Qi Tags

Chapter 545: Chapter 340: A Large Amount of Spiritual Stones Accounted for, Ritual Officer of The Treasure Pavilion! (Extra monthly update 4/9)
 

Several hours later.

Jiang Yuan left his room and headed straight for the Treasure Pavilion.

As soon as he stepped into the Treasure Pavilion,

A waiting maid jolted, stepping forward to greet him quickly.

“Young Master Jiang, Manager Cui is waiting in the VIP room for your arrival!”

Jiang Yuan nodded slightly and said, “Lead the way!”

“Understood!”

The maid curtsied and led Jiang Yuan straight to the VIP room.

A surprised voice came from behind him.

“Who is the young man? How is it that he had Miss Luo Yu waiting here specifically to greet him?”

“Didn’t you hear Miss Luo Yu call him Young Master Jiang? Who on the Supreme Rankings has the surname Jiang?”

“Could it be… Jiang Yuan?”

“Who else could it be! He’s the ninety-ninth ranked Jiang Yuan on the Supreme Rankings!”

“I see now, no wonder Miss Luo Yu is waiting here to greet him. Based on the evaluation of the Supreme Rankings, if Jiang Yuan can grow smoothly, he can potentially enter the top twenty, and even the top ten of his generation. His talents are indeed extraordinary!”

“Yes! He is the youngest prodigy on the rankings! I heard that he’s not even 20 yet! The next youngest is the daughter of the current Human Emperor, who’s already thirty-five!”

“Jiang Yuan’s cultivation talents truly are admirable! I wonder if he can maintain this cultivation speed!”

“Uncertain! But I feel it’s pretty risky! To breakthrough to the Four Extremes Realm, you need to have precise control over your strength and a high mastery over the Five Elements rules. The condensation of the aura of chaos is not easy! Not to mention the steps after that!”

“But I’ve heard that he has an extremely high grasp of the Five Elements rules. He had comprehended the Small Five Elements Fist to perfection a long time ago!”

“Eh! So that’s the case! It seems breaking through to the Four Extremes Realm might not be too difficult for Jiang Yuan! Daoist brother, your information is indeed more accurate than mine! It seems there is a master behind him!”

“That’s what I’m guessing too. Otherwise, how could the tiny Supreme Mystery Sect raise a prodigy who ranks on the Supreme Rankings? He’s been cultivating the Small Five Elements Fist a long time ago, probably in preparation for breaking through to the Four Extremes Realm!”

“…”

Hearing the arguments of those two people, Jiang Yuan couldn’t help but chuckle.

These people sure do have some imagination.

It seems that ever since I got on the rankings, information about me has been dug up extensively.

Jiang Yuan felt a little helpless.

This world is too powerful, what’s known to the heavens and the earth often becomes known to everyone.

There’s nothing he can do about this.

The way to face such a situation is to increase his own strength.

If the strength is strong enough, most ghosts and demons are no longer scary.

As for the other things, Jiang Yuan is happy that he joined the Holy Institute.

He has the protection of the Dean and Senior Brother Bei Heng and others.

Speaking broadly, it’s not yet up to me to face it.

There’s a lot less trouble, invisibly!

Moreover, my status panel has never been revealed, so no one knows about it yet.

As for my strong innate qi movement being discovered by others, it doesn’t matter to me.

It’s just one kind of talent!

Even if the double pupil is discovered by others, it’s not a big deal.

But to hide it if he can, after all, the human race is weak.

It’s necessary to hide when it’s appropriate!”

A moment later.

Luo Yu took a few quick steps to open the door of the VIP room for Jiang Yuan.

Cui Wanru inside also stood up to welcome him.

“My respects to Young Master Jiang!” Her expression gentle.

Jiang Yuan nodded, then asked, “Can items still be arranged for the auction list at this point in time?”

Having been reluctant to wake Shu Xiaoxiao just now, he had less than three hours left before the auction began, hence he asked this.

Cui Wanru nodded: “There’s no problem if it’s Young Master Jiang, I can arrange it right away!”

“Thank you, Manager Cui!”

Cui Wanru smiled softly: “Serving distinguished guests is my duty!”

Jiang Yuan then waved his hand and conjured three objects.

One was the Dividing Light Spirit Mirror, a superior-grade spiritual treasure.

After much consideration, Jiang Yuan decided to give up using this item.

Although its effect was good, it wasn’t of much use to Jiang Yuan.

Most importantly, the item was a spiritual treasure for soul attacks, and its selling price would be very high among superior-grade spiritual treasures.

Jiang Yuan estimated that it may be auctioned off for about five thousand superior-grade spiritual stones.

Such a large sum of wealth can significantly enhance his cultivation progress.

He had already weighed it out, at present, the most important thing was the breakthrough in his cultivation realm.

The enhancement of the realm is the basis for everything.

Under such circumstances, it’s the best choice to sell the Dividing Light Spirit Mirror — a high-value spiritual treasure of little use to him — in exchange for spiritual stones to improve his cultivation.

As for the other two items, one was a long knife, also a superior-grade spiritual weapon.

The other was a pair of giant axes, also superior-grade spiritual weapons.

Both of these superior-grade spiritual weapons were given by Gongye Lie.

Apart from this, there were numerous middle-grade and lower-grade spiritual weapons.

Cui Wanru accepted these three items.

“Young Master Jiang, please wait a moment. I will take these three items to Elder Mo and arrange for them to be auctioned off!”

Jiang Yuan nodded, “Okay! I have some more items to sell later!”

“Alright!” Cui Wanru agreed, and hurried off after excusing herself.

Shu Xiaoxiao said, “Young Master, I overslept!”

Jiang Yuan smiled, ruffling her hair, “It’s fine!”

Less than the time it took to drink half a cup of tea, Cui Wanru knocked on the door of the VIP room and returned.

“Young Master Jiang, everything has been arranged properly.”

Jiang Yuan nodded, then said, “Thanks for your trouble, Manager Cui!”

Cui Wanru smiled lightly, “Serving Young Master Jiang is my duty!”

Jiang Yuan waved his hand again, and a Heaven and Earth Bag appeared on the table.

“Manager Cui, please count it. How much are the items in there worth?”

“Okay!”

A couple of hours later.

Manager Cui Wanru drew up a detailed list.

“Young Master Jiang, please take a look. I wonder if you can accept this price!”

Jiang Yuan took the list and quickly scanned it.

Soon, his gaze landed on the total at the bottom.

A total of seven thousand eight hundred and ninety-three top-grade spiritual stones, sixty-seven middle-grade spiritual stones, and twenty-two lower-grade spiritual stones.

After seeing this number, Jiang Yuan nodded.

“There’s no problem. I trust Manager Cui to handle things.”

Cui Wanru gently nodded, handing over a Heaven and Earth Bag prepared in advance.

Then she said: “Young Master Jiang, there are a total of seven thousand nine hundred top-grade spiritual stones in here, please count them!”

Jiang Yuan took the Heaven and Earth Bag, scanned it and confirmed the amount was correct.

Then he handed it over to Shu Xiaoxiao.

“Nice doing business with you!” Jiang Yuan said with a faint smile.

Cui Wanru also smiled softly: “It was a pleasure working with you! If Young Master Jiang has anything else to sell in the future, please consider Treasure Pavilion, we are bound to offer you the fairest price!”

Then she hesitated for a while, she continued: “I was wondering if Young Master Jiang might consider becoming a ritual officer for the Treasure Pavilion!”

Jiang Yuan looked at the Cui Wanru in front of him and laughed: “If anyone else were to invite me, I would say no! But since Manager Cui is the one asking, I could consider it!”

Hearing Jiang Yuan’s words, Cui Wanru’s eyes brightened, and she felt overjoyed.

Co-opting the young heaven geniuses ranked on the Supreme Ranking to become a ritual officer for the Treasure Pavilion, had been the Pavilion’s consistent strategy for tens of thousands of years.

The relationships established during the youth of these heaven geniuses are the most solid.

It is because of this strategy that today, behind the Treasure Pavilion stand numerous Saints of the human race.

Originally in the rivalry with the Million Treasure Pavilion, they had been evenly matched, but now they had lost the upper hand and once again reached an equilibrium.

As for Jiang Yuan, the opinion given by the Pavilion was to pay extreme attention to him.

Just the fact that he had reached this step at his age, without considering other aspects, made him a top tier young heaven genius of his generation.

Especially since Jiang Yuan didn’t have a deep background, in the eyes of many powerful factions in the Eastern Region, the Supreme Mystery Sect was a small power that couldn’t be smaller.

Were it not for Jiang Yuan, the Supreme Mystery Sect would not even be worthy of their attention.

This was all the more proof of Jiang Yuan’s heaven-defying talent and qi movement!

Otherwise, how could he have reached this level with his background without the support of powerful talent and good fortune?

After receiving the notice from the Pavilion, Cui Wanru thus made today’s attempt.

Knowing Jiang Yuan’s intention, Cui Wanru naturally felt overjoyed.

For her, this was, of course, a great accomplishment.

Cui Wanru quickly suppressed her excitement, then said.

“Don’t worry, Young Master Jiang, I will certainly fight for the best conditions for you!”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Jiang Yuan nodded: “Good! You help me to negotiate this matter, if the conditions are good, I can agree.”

“You can rest assured, Young Master Jiang!”

Cui Wanru nodded again and again.

Then she said: “Young Master Jiang, there is a little over two hours left before the auction starts. Please come with me!”

Upon reaching the second floor.

Cui Wanru opened Box Number Three.

The interior was luxuriantly decorated, not far behind Yun Muyao’s Box Number One.

After helping Jiang Yuan open the door, she stepped back.

The two of them stepped inside, took off their shoes, and walked barefoot on the soft carpet.

“Young Master, do you intend to become a ritual officer for the Treasure Pavilion?”

Shu Xiaoxiao asked.

“Hmm!” Jiang Yuan nodded, and continued: “The business of the Treasure Pavilion is spread across the Three Domains of the Human race, and only Million Treasure Pavilion can be compared to it.”

“They have a wide range of channels, can find all kinds of earthly treasures I need, and they are quite wealthy. Joining them would be beneficial!”

“But…” Jiang Yuan smiled and continued: “We still have to see the conditions they offer!”

Shu Xiaoxiao nodded: “You’re right, Master!”

Jiang Yuan sat on the couch, picking up the crystal screen in front of him to flip through.

Seeing that the first auction item was still the Yuqing Treasure Creation, he nodded slightly, feeling very satisfied.

Then he quickly browsed down.

At this time, Shu Xiaoxiao was also kneeling behind Jiang Yuan.

She was kneading Jiang Yuan’s shoulders: “Master, is this comfortable?”

“Call me husband!” Jiang said.

Shu Xiaoxiao immediately blushed: “I’ll… I’ll call you that in the evening!”

Hearing Shu Xiaoxiao’s soft voice, Jiang Yuan’s heart was momentarily on fire.

He immediately exhaled a breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart.

This was not the place for this!

Then he continued flipping through the crystal screen, checking to see if there was anything new that suited him.

In a moment, he had scanned everything, and then put down the crystal screen.

There were about twenty more items compared to the previous auction list, some of which were decent treasures!

But there wasn’t any treasure that made him feel moved.

Ordinary items were not worth him spending spiritual stones to buy.

After all, to him, spiritual stones were far more useful than to others.

Spiritual stones were equivalent to his cultivation power.

As long as there were enough spiritual stones, he could break through to the fourth stage of Four Extremes Realm in a single day.

This was one of the reasons he was considering joining the Treasure Pavilion and becoming their ritual officer.

He had previously learned that the Treasure Pavilion had always been generous to its ritual officers.

Every year they would allocate a handsome amount of spiritual stones.

Especially in the first year of joining, they were even more generous.

Equivalent to a signing fee.

As for the obligations after joining, it was just to take action when the Treasure Pavilion faced a crucial crisis, apart from this, there were no hard and fast requirements.

After all, for the Treasure Pavilion, their focus was on the future of these heaven geniuses.

Once a heaven genius achieved enlightenment, for the Treasure Pavilion, even the biggest of investments was worth a Saint-level ritual officer.

Any Saint, even placed among the Five Realms and Four Seas, among the human and demon races, would be a highly significant existence.

For a massive structure like the Treasure Pavilion, the only thing they valued and deemed worthy was the world’s top combat power like the Saints.

Huge wealth, without the corresponding strength, would only invite disaster.
