Chapter 5: Could It Actually Be a Top-grade Spirit Stone?

The two paced toward the upper floors, and as they walked toward the eighth floor, guards stood before the stairs.

Seeing that they were people from the Lingerie-Sect, they did not block them; after all, the Lingerie-Sect was certain to be able to produce High-grade Spirit Stones.

The tenth floor.

The tenth floor had only one empty room, about one hundred square meters; this was a place people only came to when discussing major business.

After entering, Jiang Xun sat before the tea table, while Gu Qing stood to the side brewing tea for Jiang Xun.

After about two minutes, a middle-aged man walked up from the floor below.

"So it is Elder Jiang who has come; I failed to welcome you, I failed to welcome you." The middle-aged man arrived beside Jiang Xun, cupped his hands, bowed, and offered greetings.

"Shopkeeper Mo, it has been a long time." Jiang Xun nodded and smiled.

"Elder Jiang has come today, is it to...?" Shopkeeper Mo sat opposite Jiang Xun and asked with a smile that did not reach his eyes.

"Coming to the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, it is naturally to buy things." Jiang Xun reached his hand into his sleeve, his heart stirred, and a Top-grade Spirit Stone appeared in Jiang Xun's hand.

As Jiang Xun took out the Top-grade Spirit Stone, which radiated dense Spirit Power, the eyes of Shopkeeper Mo and Gu Qing widened into perfect circles.

"Th-th-th-this..." Seeing the Top-grade Spirit Stone, Shopkeeper Mo could not even speak, pointing at the spirit stone with trembling fingertips.

"This is a Top-grade Spirit Stone, Master!" Gu Qing looked at the spirit stone in Jiang Xun's hand and cried out.

"Exchange this Top-grade Spirit Stone entirely for pills, talisman paper, Dharma Artifacts, and all sorts of Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure for me." Jiang Xun placed the spirit stone on the table and pulled ten Universe Bags from his sleeve: "Put them all inside these."

"Yes, yes! I shall go handle it right away!" Shopkeeper Mo hurriedly accepted the Top-grade Spirit Stone and tucked it into his bosom, fearing that Jiang Xun would go back on his word, and also fearing that others would see it.

"Wait." Seeing that Shopkeeper Mo was about to leave, Jiang Xun spoke up to stop him: "Regarding the matter of the Top-grade Spirit Stone, do not speak of it; you know what I mean, right?"

"That is only natural! That is only natural!" Shopkeeper Mo bowed and nodded repeatedly: "I ask Elder Jiang to wait a moment; in about the time it takes for one stick of incense to burn, I will have everything you require prepared."

Having said this, Shopkeeper Mo ran quickly down the stairs.

"Master! A Top-grade Spirit Stone, how could you just give it to him! It's such a pity." After Shopkeeper Mo left, Gu Qing hurriedly said.

"It doesn't matter; if you want one, Master can give you one too." Jiang Xun nodded and smiled.

"Really!" Hearing this, Gu Qing's eyes lit up.

"Really." Jiang Xun nodded: "But I don't have one on me right now; I will give it to you after we return."

Currently, Gu Qing still had one chance for a critical hit; if she just used that chance on a Top-grade Spirit Stone, it would be too much of a pity, as Jiang Xun was not lacking in these.

"Master~ Master~ Master is the best!"

Gu Qing happily squatted on the ground, hugging Jiang Xun's thigh and shaking it coquettishly.

One could not tell how many people this little look would bewitch.

"But Master, if you don't give him a detailed list of goods, aren't you afraid he will just take some random things to fob you off? What if the value isn't enough for a Top-grade Spirit Stone?"

Gu Qing then said with concern.

"He wouldn't dare." Jiang Xun said with certainty: "Being able to become a manager of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, I believe he knows what he is doing."

Jiang Xun waited for Gu Qing's reply, but there was no response for a long while.

Looking down, Gu Qing's face was red again, looking at Jiang Xun with a pitiful expression, exposing her fragrant shoulders, sitting on the ground with her legs in an M-shape: "Master..."

"It's only been how long." Seeing this, Jiang Xun could not help but raise an eyebrow.

"Master, my cultivation is getting deeper and deeper now, and I need it more and more." Gu Qing said coyly.

"Oh?" Hearing this, Jiang Xun stood up and flicked out the Liu Hong Sword.

The Liu Hong Sword lay horizontally before the door, forming a barrier; unless it were a Sacred Artifact, it would be absolutely impossible to break through.

"Then you haven't been behind Master's back, finding other men, have you?" Jiang Xun squatted in the M, hooked Gu Qing's chin, and said with a fierce look in his eyes.

"How could that be, Master? I would never do such a thing; in this life, I belong only to Master alone."

Gu Qing looked at Jiang Xun with an expression of enjoyment.

"That is a good disciple."

Jiang Xun nodded and curled the corner of his mouth.

One hour passed, and after Jiang Xun had brought Gu Qing to submission and the two had tidied their attire, the Liu Hong Sword vanished from before the door.

"Oh my! Finally, I can come in." Seeing the barrier before the door vanish, Shopkeeper Mo hurriedly walked in.

Seeing the scene before him, he also knew what had happened.

After all, they were people from the Lingerie-Sect.

But he did not dare to say anything more.

"Elder Jiang, the things you wanted are all here." Shopkeeper Mo respectfully placed the ten Universe Bags on the table and bowed as he spoke.

Yet he suddenly smelled the spring air filling the room, and his gaze could not help but look toward Gu Qing; this scent was too fragrant, too bewitching.

"If you look at her again, be careful she uses you for dual cultivation." Seeing this, Jiang Xun smiled.

"No, I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare!" Hearing this, Shopkeeper Mo hurriedly lowered his head; if Jiang Xun had not spoken, he would have already fallen into an illusion just now.

Shopkeeper Mo fished a piece of paper from his bosom and held it up with both hands before Jiang Xun: "This is the manifest for these items."

Jiang Xun took it and glanced at it.

Treasure Grade Dharma Artifacts: Danyu Baojian, White Mist Sword, Seven Absolutes Sword, etc...

Treasure Grade Protective Gear: Eight-Treasure Jade Robe, Seven-Treasure Gilded Boots, Five-Fire Flame Bracelets, etc...

The grade of these treasures was above Spirit Grade, and they were also the highest-grade Dharma Artifacts that could be bought at the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion.

Remaining were many High Grade and Middle Grade pills, and a small amount of Top-grade pills.

Thick stacks upon stacks of miscellaneous talisman paper.

Ores for increasing cultivation, and medicinal ingredients for alchemy.

Dharma beads for combat, and various accessories.

Generally speaking, the value of these items was still worthy of a Top-grade Spirit Stone.

"Thank you for your hard work, Shopkeeper Mo." Jiang Xun nodded and waved his hand; the Universe Bags on the table all vanished from sight, and then Jiang Xun stood up: "Let's go."

"Yes, Master." Gu Qing nodded and quickly followed behind Jiang Xun.

"To be at such an age and still be favored by a beauty like Gu Qing, and to even be able to stay firm for so long... it really makes one envious." Watching the two figures leave, Shopkeeper Mo sighed in his heart.

Watching Gu Qing's swaying, perky buttocks, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

It was simply mouth-watering.

"Mommy! Don't you want me anymore! Mommy!"

Just as Jiang Xun and Gu Qing walked out of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, the man who had been rendered a simpleton by a single glance from Gu Qing earlier lunged toward her.

Gu Qing kicked him in the chest, sending him flying more than ten meters away with a single kick.

He rolled across the ground several times like a rubber ball.

He had already fainted.

"Just kill him," Jiang Xun said upon seeing this.

"It's better to make him wish he were dead," Gu Qing said with a smile, hugging Jiang Xun's arm.

"You," Jiang Xun smiled helplessly, "let's go back."

"Okay." Gu Qing nodded, then flew on her sword, taking Jiang Xun with her as they departed.

"After we go back, you must not reveal that I have Top-grade Spirit Stones, understand?"

"Of course." Gu Qing nodded repeatedly.

With her favorability at one hundred, there was absolutely no possibility of Gu Qing betraying Jiang Xun.

"This is for you." Jiang Xun then took out a medicinal pill from his Universe Bag and handed it over from Gu Qing's waist.

"What is this, Master?" Gu Qing asked as she took the pill.

"This is a Barrier-Breaking Pill; it can make it easier for you when you break through to the Nascent Soul Late Stage."

【Ding, gift of Barrier-Breaking Pill successful!】
