Sword Rises in the Blue Lagoon, Why Are All the Sword Cultivation Families Older Than Old Six?

Lu Ming, along with Ye Xuan, rode in his family's beast-drawn carriage. On the way, Lu Ming explained the rules of the Tianbao Pavilion to Ye Xuan, which basically had all kinds of resources needed for cultivation.

Ye Xuan revealed to Lu Ming that he needed quite a few resources.

After two quarters of an hour, they arrived in front of a magnificent阁楼(ge lou - pavilion/閣樓), above the door of which were engraved the three characters 'Tianbao Pavilion' in array runes.

Ye Xuan followed Lu Ming into the treasure pavilion, and a Tianbao Pavilion clerk came over and said to Lu Ming with a smile, "Young Master Lu, what do you need today?"

"I'm here to see Steward Huang today. Please inform him."

"Alright," the clerk said and left. Ye Xuan thought that this clerk must have received a lot of benefits from Lu Ming usually.

After a while, a middle-aged man with a kind face came to the first floor lobby.

Lu Ming greeted him and walked over: "Steward Huang, it's been a few months, you look even better than before."

Ye Xuan scanned him with his divine sense and found that he was at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm.

He thought that even a steward of this treasure pavilion had such cultivation. He had heard from Lu Ming that above the steward there were also elders, and above that there was the pavilion master.

Ye Xuan was thinking when Steward Huang said, "Lu Ming, what brings you here this time? I won't give you credit anymore."

Lu Ming laughed and said, "Steward Huang, don't worry. I brought a friend here this time. It's a big business. Let me introduce you,"

Saying that, he pointed to Ye Xuan beside him.

Ye Xuan also smiled slightly and cupped his hands: "Greetings, Steward Huang. Just call me Ye Xuan."

Steward Huang looked Ye Xuan up and down. He was calm and without any aura emanating from him, especially the two people wearing masks behind him. Although they did not have a strong aura, he felt an incomparable danger.

He said, "Fellow Daoist Ye, you're too polite. Please follow me."

Saying that, he led a few people into a private room.

"This place is simple, and we can only treat you with light tea."

Steward Huang said, taking out his treasured spiritual tea and brewing it for Ye Xuan and the others.

Ye Xuan sat down and took a sip. The strands of spiritual power from the spiritual tea merged into his body, making him feel incomparably comfortable.

Lu Ming took a sip and exclaimed: "Steward Huang, you have such a treasure, I've never had it before. You're clearly treating us differently."

"Like this, I also have a few treasures," Steward Huang replied.

"Then I'm benefiting from Brother Ye's light," Lu Ming said with a look of grievance.

Ye Xuan looked at Lu Ming and the two of them talking and laughing, then took out a list of various cultivation resources and handed it to Steward Huang: "Steward Huang, see if you can help me collect all the resources on the list. Spirit stones are not a problem."

Steward Huang casually took the list and glanced at it, freezing in place. After a while, he asked uncertainly, "Do you want all of these?"

The list included several types of elixirs from the first to sixth grade, with a huge quantity of each type, as well as various spiritual fruits, defensive magic tools, and dozens of types of talismans.

Ye Xuan nodded and said, "Does Steward Huang have any difficulties?"

"No, no, no, this is the first time I've handled such a big transaction. Please wait a moment, I'll check the inventory," sometimes even asking the maid to pour tea for Ye Xuan, not neglecting the guests.

Lu Ming also glanced at the list and was shocked by the quantity of items on it, smiling and saying to Ye Xuan: "Brother Ye, you are indeed rich and generous. Can you accept me as a follower? I am willing to be your vanguard."

"Brother Lu, what are you saying? When I first came, Brother Lu said that Mu Bai's brothers are my brothers. I will also return it to you here. You, Lu Ming, are Mu Bai's brother, so you are also my, Ye Xuan's, brother. Since we call each other brothers, why do you say such a thing?"

"Thank you, Brother Ye. I was shallow," he said with a smile again.

He, Lu Ming, would later rejoice that it was such a correct thing for him to befriend Ye Xuan.

After a while, Steward Huang hurriedly walked back: "Sorry to keep you waiting. It's like this, we don't have enough stock of three kinds of high-level elixirs here. We need to transfer them from other places. It will take at most two days to collect them all. What do you think, Fellow Daoist Ye?"

Ye Xuan thought for a while. This time he came out to buy all the resources back at once and then hide to develop. Two days didn't matter, so he waited.

Immediately, Ye Xuan said, "It doesn't matter, Steward Huang. Then I'll wait for two days."

"Okay, I've calculated it for you. The total of all the resources is 213.6 million mid-grade spirit stones. With my authority, I can help you wipe out the 3.6 million change. You only need to pay 210 million mid-grade spirit stones. Do you want to pay together in two days or now?"

Ye Xuan directly said, "No need to bother, I will pay you two million and one hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones now, and come back in two days to take away the resources. I am still assured of the reputation of Tianbao Pavilion."

Saying that, Ye Xuan handed Steward Huang a space ring. Steward Huang checked it with his divine sense and found that it was indeed full of high-grade spirit stones. He thought to himself, where did this big money come from? What kind of strength uses all high-grade spirit stones?

He had been in this Great Qin Dynasty for a hundred years, and had never seen such a person with such a big hand. Even the Xuan Yi Sect, the overlord of Dongzhou, rarely used high-grade spirit stones for transactions. Thinking of this, he didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Immediately, he took out an unusual purple-gold card and handed it to Ye Xuan: "Fellow Daoist Ye, this is our Tianbao Pavilion's purple-gold VIP card. With it, you can get a 10% discount on purchases in Tianbao Pavilion in the future."

Ye Xuan put away the card and said to Steward Huang: "Then thank you, Steward Huang. I won't bother you anymore. I'll come back in two days."

Steward Huang quickly stood up and cupped his hands: "Fellow Daoist Ye, you're too polite. This is originally the rule of Tianbao Pavilion. Those exceeding 100 million mid-grade spirit stones are purple-gold VIPs. I'm just doing things according to the rules."

Ye Xuan also cupped his hands, considering it a return gift, and walked out of the private room.

He thought that ten million high-grade spirit stones would be almost enough, but he didn't expect the purchasing power to be so high. Ye Xuan planned to give the remaining spirit stones to his clansmen for cultivation.

How extravagant it would be to directly absorb the high-grade spirit stones in his hand. In this way, only a part of the spiritual energy in the spirit stones could be refined, and 60% would be lost.

Therefore, generally no one would directly absorb spirit stones, especially precious high-grade spirit stones. They would all use spirit gathering arrays and then slowly absorb the spirit stones.

Thinking, the four of them walked out of Tianbao Pavilion. Just as they walked to the front of the beast cart and prepared to get in, an untimely voice sounded: "Oh, isn't this yesterday's stray dog? Why are you here at Tianbao Pavilion today? Do you have spirit stones to pay your debts? Oh, right, right, right, did you come to buy healing pills, hahaha…"

Ye Xuan saw that this person was dressed in brocade clothes, unrestrained and unruly, and his right hand was still holding a beautiful female cultivator.

When he walked up to Lu Ming, he whispered, "Lu Ming, remember yesterday's lesson. If you go against me, next time it won't be as simple as a small injury,"

Saying that, he pushed Lu Ming away and walked straight into Tianbao Pavilion.

Lu Ming just clenched his fists and said to Ye Xuan: "Brother Ye, let's go back to the restaurant first."

The four of Ye Xuan got on the beast cart and returned to the restaurant all the way. Lu Ming rarely spoke on the way. When they returned to the restaurant and entered a private room, Lu Ming said: "Brother Ye, just wait here for two days. If you need anything, just look for me. I won't bother you anymore,"

Saying that, he prepared to close the door and go out.
