After breaking off the engagement with Long Aotian

On the steward's chubby face, a pair of shrewd eyes gradually became dull. This, who wouldn't want this as a gift?

He wants it if I give it to him!

"You are joking, Fairy." The steward said with an apologetic smile, "Thank you for your high regard, Fairy. I will make a small change for you and only charge 166,000 Spiritual Stones. After the discount, it will only cost 130,000 Spiritual Stones."

"Give me a 50% discount. I'll take it at 50% off." Shao Yin said.

The steward immediately complained: "Fairy, please don't embarrass me. I am just a steward and cannot make this decision. Otherwise, with my respect for you, you can use whatever you want in this building!"

"Okay. Then take it." Shao Yin raised her foot and walked down.

The manager was delighted. This was such a great relief!
I was so happy that I said quickly, "Okay! I'll pack it for you right away!"

"Miss!" Elder Jin was immediately angry when he saw that she was insisting on doing what she wanted. "Don't waste your spirit stones!"

Shao Yin had many spiritual stones on her, but she had only walked less than one-tenth of them all the way to the Holy City.

She has spent all her spirit stones now, what will she spend on next?
"Manager." Shao Yin turned her head and asked, "Do you guys collect spiritual flowers and herbs?"

Although she had a lot of spirit stones on her, they were all given by her ancestors, and they would be gone once they were all spent.

Elder Jin's worries are not without reason. We need to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.

"Look at what you said." The manager smiled, "We have many customers in Tianbao Pavilion and the demand is also great. Our own production is far from enough. In fact, only a small part of the spiritual herbs we sell here are grown by ourselves, and the rest are consigned by the monks."

When Shao Yin heard this, she immediately asked, "Will you accept the Phoenix Feather?"

Hearing the word "Phoenix Feather", the steward's eyes lit up immediately: "Fairy has Phoenix Feathers? Take them! How many does the fairy have? We'll take them!"

Sounds like a good market?
"Tell me the price first." Shao Yin said.

The steward cleared his throat and said, "Now, outsiders are selling them for 200,000 spirit stones each. We charge 160,000 here. Don't be upset, fairy. Although selling the phoenix feather to us is cheaper, it also saves a lot of trouble."

As he spoke, he whispered, "Tianshui City is not safe now. Fairy, you don't know that many monks outside took Phoenix feathers to sell. At that time, they paid for them, but not long after leaving the city, they-"

He used his eyes to understand, "This has happened several times. Just earlier this month, a Jindan cultivator died."

As he spoke, he nodded and bowed to Elder Jin: "No offense."

Elder Jin had been silent all this time, but now he suddenly asked, "Why has the price of Phoenix Feather increased so much?"

The waiter was packing the items Shao Yin bought. The manager took the two to the VIP room and poured tea for Shao Yin while saying, "Senior, you may not know that the price of Phoenix Feather has changed every day in recent years."

"In the early years, this Phoenix Feather was just a good detoxification material. When I first came to Tianbao Pavilion 20 years ago, I remember clearly that it was only sold for more than 40,000 spirit stones."

"But in the past few years, I don't know why, suddenly many people want Phoenix Feathers, even..." He paused, glanced around, and lowered his voice and said: "Even those big sects have sent disciples to purchase them."

"There is a rumor that a certain True Lord who has passed the tribulation was poisoned. Other medicines are difficult to cure, but Phoenix Feather has some effect. So we bought them all to honor that True Lord."

"This is nothing but a rumor. The price of phoenix feathers has indeed risen in the market right now." After explaining, the steward asked Shao Yin eagerly, "Fairy, are you willing to sell them to us?"

Shao Yin picked up the teacup and said with a smile, "No. Not for sale."

The steward was a little anxious: "Does the fairy think the price is low?"

"I think the price of this phoenix feather will go up further." Shao Yin took a sip, "I'll wait until it reaches one million spirit stones."

The manager was speechless. He was dreaming! The price had already risen to the sky, and he wanted to raise it further? However, his persuasion was useless. Shao Yin had already changed the subject: "Have you cleaned it up?"

"Little one, go and take a look."

After the steward left, only Shao Yin and Elder Jin were left in the VIP room.

Elder Jin immediately said, "Sell the Phoenix Feather."

Before he retired to Liucheng, although the Phoenix Feather was the material for the elixir that could cure thousands of poisons, the price was only more than 20,000 spirit stones. Now that it has increased tenfold, why not sell it?

She had spent so many spirit stones today, it was time to make up for it, so Elder Jin asked her to sell it.

"Not for sale." Shao Yin said calmly, "I won't sell it even if I eat it."

I won’t even sell it if I throw it away.

If they fall into the hands of a bunch of bad people, will they be able to survive?
"You——" Elder Jin was furious when he saw that she was not willing to listen to him. "Whatever you want!"

He was angry, but Shao Yin didn't try to comfort him and just drank her tea calmly.

"Fairy, this is your stuff." The steward pushed the door open and handed her a storage ring.

Shao Yin bought a lot of things, including pills, talismans, formation materials, and some small miscellaneous items.

Tianbao Pavilion put it in a storage ring for her. The manager said, "This storage ring is our Tianbao Pavilion's VIP identification. From now on, no matter which branch of Tianbao Pavilion you go to, you will be treated as a VIP."

"Please take inventory and see if there is anything missing."

Shao Yin scanned it with her consciousness, compared it to the list, and nodded: "Yes."

"Then please settle the bill, fairy." The steward smiled respectfully, as if Shao Yin was the closest person to him in the world.

Shao Yin glanced at the table. There were many spare storage bags on the shelf. She took one and transferred the corresponding spirit stones into it.

Five million, eight hundred and sixty-three thousand spirit stones.

With such a huge order, the manager wanted to kneel on the ground, kowtow to her three times and call her "grandmother".

"Take care." He walked her to the door respectfully.

Before leaving, he gave Shaoyin a card. Upon learning that Shaoyin had no place to stay in Tianshui City, he introduced her to a cooperating inn, offering her three months of free accommodation and a 20% discount on renewals.

"If there is any news about rare treasures, I will keep an eye out for you!" The manager kept shouting behind him as he watched Shao Yin walk away.

So, come and visit our store when you have time!

Even after Shao Yin disappeared, the manager was still smiling. Today, he was really lucky, and his promotion was a foregone conclusion!
Turning around and walking into the threshold, he paused - how could the little aunt be from an ordinary family with such great wealth? She absolutely shouldn't be afraid of that Miss He?
Perhaps she is cautious by nature and doesn't want to cause trouble outside.

The housekeeper thought about it and felt uncomfortable thinking about the cause of the incident. The young lady of the He family was really abominable. If she hadn't indulged the maid to speak ill of her, how could she have angered the young lady?

If the young lady comes happily, given her generosity, why would she need a 20% discount?

How many spirit stones did I lose? ! Whose fault is this? The housekeeper thought to himself and actually felt bad for Miss He.

*
"You are too impulsive!" After walking a long way, Elder Jin began to lecture her, "Don't show off your wealth, that's the first. Don't know how to restrain yourself, buy things on a large scale, waste money, and spend spirit stones on useless things, that's the second, third, and fourth!"

Do I need to buy so many pills? Ten bottles at a time, or twenty bottles at a time?

Did she have to buy so many different kinds of talismans? She bought 100 of each kind. Did she know how many kinds she bought?

All in all, the materials consumed for the formation were the least, costing only 600,000 spirit stones.

Elder Jin became angrier and angrier as he thought about it, but Shao Yin was confident: "I will need these things sooner or later. If I don't buy them today, I will have to buy them tomorrow. But if there is a discount today, will there be a discount tomorrow?"

% off!
Where can I pick it up?
Elder Jin paused, pointed at her, and was unable to refute.

"I'll give it back to you." He flipped his wrist and handed over the tree of life seeds. "I don't need them."

She can buy whatever she wants, it's her family's spiritual stones after all. But he doesn't want the rare treasure that cost hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones.

Shao Yin lowered her eyes and saw a pale hand reaching out from the black sleeves, with long, slender joints and well-proportioned and strong body.

"Brother, how old are you this year?" she asked, looking up.

Elder Jin didn't react for a moment. When she looked at his hands again, he withdrew them and put them behind his back.

"Call me senior!" he said hoarsely, "When I formed the elixir, your father was not even born yet!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the little girl looked over at him worriedly: "Brother, are you going to die soon?"

Elder Jin almost choked and raised his hand to the back of her head: "Little girl. What did you just say?"

"The life span of a Jindan cultivator is 500 years." Shao Yin's worry was real. "You are not even in the late Jindan stage. Can you still break through to the Yuanying stage?"

Elder Jin finally understood what she was talking about. He rolled up his sleeves and brushed them behind him: "Let's go."

Shao Yin followed him and explained seriously this time: "Brother, I heard your voice was hoarse and your internal energy was insufficient, which must be a hidden injury in your body. This seed of the tree of life is not a very good thing to nourish. But I didn't encounter the wood spirit today, so you can use it for now."

Elder Jin paused, his body stiffened, and he slowly turned to her: "You, bought it for me?"

He knew that she bought this thing for him.

But he originally thought that she had spent too many spirit stones and bought him one just for the sake of convenience. Or she might have intended to win him over and use this to win his heart.

So this is what she thought?

For a moment, an indescribable feeling surged in my heart.

"I appreciate your kindness, young lady." He said in a hoarse voice, with a strange tone, "but you don't need to worry about my affairs."

Shaoyin.

Shao Yin: ...

"Hahahahaha!"

Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter on the street. The spirit beasts strolling leisurely on the street were startled and looked over curiously.

I saw a girl in gorgeous purple clothes, with skin as white as snow and eyes as beautiful as a painting, standing on the street. People were coming and going around her, but she was not affected at all and was laughing loudly.

The person closest to her was a male cultivator in a black robe and a mask, so her couldn't see his expression clearly. She only saw the corners of his robe fluttering, and he didn't look happy.

"Enough!" Seeing her laughing endlessly, Elder Jin finally couldn't help it.

Shao Yin wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "Senior Brother. My senior brother. It's urgent, so I called you like that. Are you angry?"

Angry? If he was angry, why would he let her scream for so long?
"Brother, you are older than my father. Why do you have to argue with a kid like me?" She smiled with her eyes curved, leaned over and looked at him intently.

Elder Jin was angry and annoyed, but he couldn't express how soft-hearted he was.

"Let's go." He strode forward and never mentioned returning the tree of life to her again.

"You were bumped into by that ignorant servant today, but you did not act impulsively. That's good." After walking for a while, Elder Jin mentioned this.

Shao Yin smiled and said, "I'm not stupid. With a talent like me, I must survive to the end and be the best in the world. If I get defeated early, wouldn't that be unfair?"

Listen.

This stinky look.

"They got away with it!" Elder Jin's voice was grim, and he obviously bore a grudge against this incident.

Shao Yin had the ability to turn this loss into an advantage, but this was a matter between her and Tianbao Pavilion. The master and servant did not receive any lesson at all.

"Not necessarily." Shao Yin laughed, took out the spiritual fruit from Tianbao Pavilion from the storage bag, and ate it in his hand, "Brother, do you think that the manager is a fool?"

"He's very smart!" Elder Jin snorted coldly, and he disliked everyone in Tianbao Pavilion from top to bottom.

What a snob.

"Then Senior Brother, would it be a pity if he didn't give me a 20% discount when his excitement faded? "

Elder Jin paused.

Shao Yin was very excited and said, "I didn't have the chance to ask for a 20% discount. Even if I did, they wouldn't have to pay attention to me. What's going on now? They gave me a 20% discount. Why did they give me a 20% discount?"

Elder Jin's eyes widened and he stretched out his slender, smooth hand and pointed at her.

"How can a genius like me be provoked by just any Tom, Dick or Harry?" She raised her chin, full of pride.

For the first time, Elder Jin didn't want to teach her a lesson.

Instead, she thought, yes! A genius like her should speak her mind freely, feel free and unfettered, and dodge the wind and clouds while her sword flies thousands of miles away.

"Let's go to Tiangong Pavilion." Shao Yin said with high spirits, turning to another street.
