Chapter 647: Earning a Fortune Before Buying Anything

When Yu Xian appeared in Qilin City with four women, he immediately drew many sideways glances, achieving a hundred percent turn rate.

Although Qilin City was the main city of the Demon Cultivation Sea, with a complex flow of Cultivators, a man like Yu Xian, possessing an extraordinary temperament and entirely devoid of any Devilish Qi, was already rare, let alone the four uniquely beautiful yet peerlessly graceful women following him.

Ning Zhongze was dignified and grand, Huang Rong was lively and bright, Shui Yue was as cold as the moon, and Su Ru was gentle and quiet. The four of them standing together were like cranes among chickens, instantly becoming the most dazzling scenery on the street.

Many passing Devil Cultivators couldn’t help but stop, their gazes lingering over the five of them—some filled with amazement, some with greed, and a few with apprehension.

After all, those who could traverse the Demon Cultivation Sea were mostly not easy targets. Yet, these five, though seemingly harmless, faintly exuded an unfathomable Aura that deterred those with ill intentions from approaching rashly.

Yu Xian had anticipated this. He merely swept a faint glance over the surrounding gazes and led the four women directly toward the largest Refining Artifact Pavilion in the city, completely undisturbed by the outside world.

“Why are they looking at us so strangely?” Su Ru asked Yu Xian.

Being stared at by so many people made her somewhat uncomfortable, and she subconsciously leaned closer to Shui Yue.

“This place has many Devil Cultivators, and their style of conduct is inherently direct. It’s normal for our appearance and temperament to attract attention; don’t worry about it,” Shui Yue gently held her hand and whispered.

Ning Zhongze also nodded. “Sister Ning said before that there are especially few female Cultivators in the Demon Cultivation Sea. Now that we have four all at once, it naturally invites covetous eyes. We just need to act cautiously,” she said.

“Sister Ning, you worry too much. With our little husband here, we don’t need to be so cautious,” Huang Rong said with a smile.

Yu Xian nodded appropriately. “Mmm, no need to be so cautious. When we get to the Refining Artifact Pavilion later, buy whatever you like; don’t worry if your husband can’t afford it.”

“You said that!” Huang Rong gave a cunning smile.

“I said it!” Yu Xian thumped his chest boastfully.

This action drew a burst of laughter from Ning Zhongze and the others.

Ning Zhongze gave him a playful glare. “Since you’ve said so, we won’t be polite.”

The group arrived before the Refining Artifact Pavilion in Qilin City, gazing at the magnificent building. Its surface was carved with intricate flame patterns, faintly glowing under the dim light of the Demon Cultivation Sea.

The pavilion soared dozens of zhang high, with upturned eaves that seemed to have the phantom image of a Qilin coiling around them, emitting a heart-palpating pressure.

Above the gate hung a massive black plaque inscribed with the three ancient and vigorous characters “Refining Artifact Pavilion,” the brushstrokes imbued with a torrent of Spiritual Qi fluctuations.

“We’re here,” Yu Xian told the Ladies.

The Ladies also looked at the Refining Artifact Pavilion, their hearts filled with anticipation.

Yu Xian brought the four women into the Refining Artifact Pavilion and immediately released his Soul Transformation Stage pressure.

The Cultivators inside the Refining Artifact Pavilion instantly changed color upon sensing this powerful pressure. They all stopped what they were doing and respectfully lowered their heads.

The previously noisy hall instantly fell silent; even the sound of breathing became cautious.

As Yu Xian entered, the System also delivered the sound of a successful check-in.

【Ding, congratulations to the Host for successfully checking in at the Refining Artifact Pavilion. Reward: Burning Heaven Artifact Refining Art, Positioning Restriction, Cultivation increased by 100 years.】

Oh wow, the Burning Heaven Artifact Refining Art, the Demon Cultivation Sea’s top Artifact Refining secret technique, capable of summoning the Nine Netherworld Fire, fusing a hundred types of Materials to refine high-grade Magic Treasures imbued with spirituality. This is also the core Cultivation Technique of Sun Dian, the Pavilion Master of the Refining Artifact Pavilion.

There’s also the Positioning Restriction, which can plant a tracking mark within another person’s body. How is this locator different?

And a 100-year increase in Cultivation.

Tsk tsk, I earned a fortune before even buying anything.

The shopkeeper saw Yu Xian and the others enter and hurried forward, his face plastered with a fawning smile. “I apologize for not greeting the Senior properly upon your arrival. What might the Senior require?”

“A private room, and then bring out everything precious and not precious, beautiful and useful, from your Refining Artifact Pavilion for my Ladies to choose freely,” Yu Xian said without any courtesy.

In this world, strength is supreme. A Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator was enough to warrant extraordinary attention from the Refining Artifact Pavilion.

The shopkeeper’s heart tightened upon hearing this, and he dared not show the slightest negligence. He quickly bowed. “Senior, rest assured, the private room is upstairs. I will personally escort you and the Ladies there. As for the treasures in the Pavilion, I will immediately order all the rare items to be presented for the Ladies’ selection!”

With that, he led the five of them through the main hall toward the private room on the second floor.

After entering the private room, the shopkeeper quickly ordered fragrant tea to be served and then cautiously retreated.

The private room was luxuriously furnished. Several landscape paintings imbued with Spiritual Qi hung on the walls, and an exotic incense that calmed the mind was burning in the corner. The air was filled with the faint scent of Ink Crystal Stones and Fire Spirit Grass.

Su Ru walked to the window, overlooking the bustling street below, and whispered, “The Refining Artifact Pavilion in this Qilin City truly is grand. Just the furnishings in this private room are more exquisite than the Immortal Caves of ordinary Cultivators.”

“These tea sets are actually made from Spirit Treasures. It seems the Refining Artifact Pavilion indeed has deep foundations,” Huang Rong remarked curiously while examining the tea set on the table.

Ning Zhongze sat beside Yu Xian and asked, “Are Spirit Treasures all very expensive?”

“It depends on what they are. But don’t worry, whatever is here, your husband should be able to afford it all. Moreover, these furnishings are just ordinary arrangements. I’ll let you see some truly good things later,” Yu Xian smiled.

As soon as his voice fell, the door to the private room was gently knocked upon. The shopkeeper led ten Disciples, each carrying a tray.

On the trays were various Spirit Treasures: shimmering magic robes, incomparably sharp Flying Swords, exquisitely carved jade pendants, and some Pill Furnaces and Spirit Medicines emitting dense Spiritual Qi.

“Senior, these are all the rare items from our Refining Artifact Pavilion, including defensive Black Tortoise Shells, offensive Wind-Splitting Blades, and Spirit-Gathering Pendants that assist Cultivation. Please allow the Ladies to choose freely,” the shopkeeper introduced respectfully.

Huang Rong’s eyes lit up, and she stepped forward first, picking up a long sword whose blade resembled autumn water. It felt light in her hand, intricately carved with wind patterns on the blade. A gentle swing produced a sharp sound of air being split.

“This sword is nice. It’s full of Spiritual Qi and very suitable for a woman to use,” she said, turning to look at Yu Xian with expectation in her eyes.

“If you like it, take it,” Yu Xian smiled and nodded.

Ning Zhongze, Shui Yue, and Su Ru also stepped forward. Whatever they looked at, the shopkeeper would give them a detailed introduction.

The items in the Refining Artifact Pavilion truly lived up to their reputation. Both the rarity of the Materials and the exquisite level of the refining craftsmanship far exceeded their previous imaginations.

Ning Zhongze and the others essentially liked everything displayed. Since they had many people back home, even if they bought things, they needed to buy enough to distribute evenly later.
