Chapter 58: Sumei'er

Su Zhangqing had just entered Tiannan City when seven or eight errand boys quickly surrounded him; sensing the aura on Su Zhangqing, these people dared not get too close, stopping at a distance of two zhang away.

"Hmm?"

Seeing this scene, Su Zhangqing's brows could not help but furrow slightly.

"Senior, we are the 'Wind Whisperers' of Tiannan City. We have lived in Tiannan City since we were young and are very familiar with it. If you hire us, Senior, it can save you time."

"That's right, Senior."

"We beg you, Senior, to grant us a bite to eat. We don't ask for much; just accompany you for a day, and three or five Spirit Stones will do."

Soon, these errand boys spoke up one after another, each diligently recommending themselves.

Su Zhangqing's expression softened slightly, and he quickly understood what was going on.

These people had lived in Tiannan City since childhood; some of their parents and ancestors had come to this Tiannan City for various reasons to survive and develop.

However, in cultivation, one cultivates for resources; without resources, one can be said to be unable to move an inch. These people sought their own livelihoods to survive in this Tiannan City.

And being a "Wind Whisperer" was one such profession.

Having understood the reason, Su Zhangqing had a plan in his mind.

Since it was his first time coming to this Tiannan City, finding a Wind Whisperer to lead the way could save him a great deal of time.

"Fine, you'll do."

Having made his decision, Su Zhangqing did not hesitate in the slightest, pointing randomly into the crowd and selecting a young man with a blocky, honest-looking head.

This person wore a long black robe and a round leather cap on his head, his whole person looking like a round ball.

"Thank you for choosing me, Senior. My name is Xiaohuzi. Let me lead the way for you from now on."

A happy expression appeared on the little fatty's face, and he immediately bowed to Su Zhangqing with utmost respect.

"Damn it, that guy Xiaohuzi is really lucky."

"Ain't that the truth. Sigh, why didn't the Senior pick me?"

Seeing this scene, everyone shook their heads and sighed, not daring to continue crowding around, and scattered one after another to look for new targets.

"Senior, where would you like to go?"

"Hmm, first find a general store so I can process some items, and while you're at it, introduce me to Tiannan City."

"Very well, Senior. For a general store, I recommend the Myriad Things Tower; they are honest with young and old alike, and their prices are fair."

Soon, Xiaohuzi led Su Zhangqing toward the Myriad Things Tower.

Under Xiaohuzi's introduction, Su Zhangqing gained a rough understanding of the layout of the entire Tiannan City.

The entire Tiannan City is divided into four areas: the far east is the largest auction house, the west is the pet beast shop, the south is where the Market and shops are located—where people from all walks of life gather and various sects have opened shops—and the far north is where cultivators set up stalls; the treasures here are of varying quality, depending entirely on one's eye and luck.

The Myriad Things Tower is in the east; after walking for about three quarters of an hour and passing dozens of luxurious shops, a six-story-high pavilion appeared before his eyes.

The Myriad Things Tower is in the central area of the east, occupying a vast space, spanning over a thousand zhang in length and width, and standing dozens of zhang tall.

The entire building is carved with beams and painted rafters, appearing extremely luxurious, and it is built with very precious Spirit Materials, with powerful arrays carved all around to firmly protect the entire pavilion.

"Myriad Things Tower!"

Three golden, glittering characters appeared before his eyes.

"We have arrived, Senior. I will wait for you here."

Xiaohuzi said respectfully.

"Hmm."

Su Zhangqing nodded slightly and walked straight inside.

Inside the Myriad Things Tower, it was very spacious, with rows of shelves displaying various Spirit Materials and treasures.

The first floor of the Myriad Things Tower was bustling with people coming and going.

Just after Su Zhangqing entered the Myriad Things Tower, a young errand boy in a green robe with a keen eye quickly approached him.

"Senior, welcome to the Myriad Things Tower. I am very happy to be at your service."

"Hmm, I would like to sell some monster materials." Su Zhangqing nodded slightly, revealing a hint of satisfaction; the service attitude of the Myriad Things Tower was quite good.

"Senior, please head up to the fourth floor."

The errand boy made a gesture of invitation, leading Su Zhangqing toward the fourth floor.

"Hmm?"

As soon as Su Zhangqing arrived on the fourth floor, he felt several powerful auras enveloping him.

This aura was retracted as soon as it was released, as if it did not exist at all.

"Four Golden Core cultivators, the highest one is at the late stage of Golden Core."

In an instant, Su Zhangqing understood what was going on.

This was the other party giving him a show of force, warning him not to act recklessly.

"We have arrived, Senior."

The errand boy made a gesture of invitation, led Su Zhangqing into a private room, and then took his leave.

Su Zhangqing was left alone in the entire private room.

Su Zhangqing carefully examined his surroundings; the room was decorated in an antique style, with an Eight Immortals table, four chairs, and some flowers and plants placed around, with a faint floral fragrance permeating the room.

"Greetings, fellow Daoist."

After a short while, a red shadow flickered.

A woman dressed in red with a charming appearance walked in, smiled lightly, and bowed to Su Zhangqing.

"I am Sumei'er, greetings, fellow Daoist."

"Greetings, fellow Daoist."

Su Zhangqing cupped his hands and bowed to her.

"Giggle... may I ask for your name, fellow Daoist?"

Sumei'er giggled, then lifted her head, her pair of bright eyes fixed on Su Zhangqing.

The Su Zhangqing before her had sword-like brows and star-bright eyes, dressed in white as snow; he looked extraordinarily handsome, as if he were an Immortal who had walked out of a painting.

Sumei'er was stunned for a moment, a flush of red flashing across her face.

Although she had seen many men, there were few who were more handsome than Su Zhangqing.

"What a beautiful woman!"

Su Zhangqing felt his eyes light up.

He hadn't looked closely just now, but looking now, the other party was beautiful, truly a first-class beauty.

Beneath her red clothes, her figure was proud, her jade peaks heaving, making one unable to tear their eyes away at a single glance; her eyes were like stars, her brows like crescent moons, her teeth were white and flawless, and her long hair draped over her shoulders, adding a touch of allure.

"My surname is Su, and my given name is Zhangqing."

Su Zhangqing smiled slightly.

"May I ask, fellow Daoist Su, what is it you wish to sell? Is there anything I can do for you?"

A blush appeared on Sumei'er's face as she gave a charming smile, and a faint, delicate fragrance wafted from her body.

"Hm?"

Su Zhangqing's brows furrowed slightly, but he returned to normal in an instant, then spoke with a cold expression.

"I am selling some monster beast materials; please provide an estimate, fellow Daoist."

Sumei'er's expression changed slightly.

Just a moment ago, she had employed her Heavenly Demon cultivation technique, and a trace of alluring aura had surged out, enveloping Su Zhangqing.

In her view, the other party should have fallen into her charm technique, allowing her to take some advantage in the upcoming transaction.

She never expected that the other party's strength would be so remarkable, recovering to normal in just a few breaths.
