95: Celia's New Clothes
Lin Chuan thought for a bit and decided to release no. 28 in advance, just in case.
All the way back to his residence on Tianquan Peak, Lin Chuan used the no. 28 doll in his room. After a flash of golden light, a Fighter wearing shorts appeared in the room.
After no. 28 appeared, she first looked around, and seeing no danger, she just stood there quietly, motionless.
Lin Chuan called out curiously, "No. 28?"
The Female Fighter looked at Lin Chuan and lowered her head, "Master!"
"What can you do?" Lin Chuan asked curiously.
"I can protect Master!" No. 28 replied mechanically.
Lin Chuan sighed. It seemed that the intelligence of the no. 28 doll was not very high, far from a doll with independent thinking like Kelli.
But it didn't matter, as long as her combat power was high.
"In the future, don't call me Master, just call me Young Lord."
"Yes, Young Lord," no. 28 still replied mechanically.
Lin Chuan checked the time. The event was indeed almost over, so he immediately set off for Seria's location at the entrance of the Secret Realm.
As soon as Lin Chuan arrived, he noticed that Seria's place had undergone a huge change. The Grand Elder was directing the Disciples to set up a stage. A row of chairs was placed at the very front below the stage, and a Formation was set up behind each chair.
Lin Chuan asked curiously, "Grand Elder, what are all these Formations down here for?"
Seeing Lin Chuan's arrival, the Grand Elder gave some instructions for the Disciples to speed up the setup, then turned to Lin Chuan and said, "Those Formations are the Buddhist Sumeru Formations set up by Great Master Dehai."
Seeing Lin Chuan's still confused Face, the Grand Elder continued to explain, "There are too many people attending this event's award ceremony. So, using Great Master Dehai's Sumeru Formation can expand the space. When the people arrive, they will all enter the Formation. It creates its own space inside, yet doesn't affect the viewing of the ceremony outside."
Lin Chuan suddenly understood. It was like a storage ring; it didn't look big, but it was a Formation that contained its own space.
"Then what about this row of chairs in front?"
"Oh, those are for the Sect Heads and powerful figures of various forces. We can't very well ask them to enter the Formation, can we? We have to give them enough Face," the Grand Elder replied.
"Oh, oh, oh, I see, I see," Lin Chuan nodded immediately after hearing this.
Lin Chuan looked at Seria on the stage, who looked panicked and was searching everywhere for her shelf. He had an idea and walked over.
Seeing Lin Chuan appear, Seria quickly came over and said pitifully, "Master, my shelf is gone!"
Lin Chuan smiled and said, "Don't call me Master in the future, just call me Young Lord."
Seeing Celia nod, he comforted her, "Your shelf isn't lost, it's just temporarily blocked by the stage."
Seria felt a bit more relieved after hearing Lin Chuan say that.
Lin Chuan looked at the green dress Seria was wearing and asked, "Seria, do you only have this one set of clothes?"
"No, I can use Spirit Stones to buy other clothes. It's just that without the Young Lord's command, I didn't dare to spend them," Seria said.
Lin Chuan asked Seria to check how many Spirit Stones she had stored now.
Seria replied, "Young Lord, I've earned another 300,000 Spirit Stones these past few days. Should I take them out?"
Lin Chuan shook his head. It seemed he needed to plan more small events. Seria couldn't compare to Kelli at all; a few days ago, he had taken nearly 4 million Spirit Stones from Kelli.
Lin Chuan shook his head and smiled, "Don't take them out yet. There's going to be a celebration here in a while. Why don't you change into something suitable for a celebration? How many Spirit Stones will it cost?"
"A celebration?" Seria looked curiously at the busy Disciples around her.
"Ah, I know a dress that is very suitable, but it costs 50,000 Spirit Stones!" Celia replied.
Lin Chuan was dumbfounded. Good grief, as expected of Seria. One dress costs 50,000 Spirit Stones, which is enough for him and his two Disciples to eat the best ingredients for a month.
But thinking about his current wealth, Lin Chuan felt that 50,000 Spirit Stones was just a drop in the bucket.
Lin Chuan had eventually become the kind of evil capitalist he hated the most.
"Buy it! We're happy, so I'll allow you to buy it. Hurry up and change, the celebration is about to start."
Seeing that Lin Chuan agreed, Seria was also very happy. Ignoring Lin Chuan's staring eyes that wanted to explore some mysterious thing, she waved her delicate hand, and a beam of light enveloped her body.
Lin Chuan stood to the side with wide eyes and even circled around Seria.
A moment later, the light dissipated, and Seria reappeared in a new set of clothes.
Lin Chuan was a bit disappointed. Damn Holy Light, he didn't see anything!
Putting away his lecherous thoughts, Lin Chuan carefully looked at Seria's current clothes and couldn't help but marvel, "These 50,000 Spirit Stones weren't spent in vain!"
Seria had changed into a red cheongsam that perfectly fit the Eastern aesthetic. Her curvy figure was made even more sultry by the cheongsam. Her hair was tied high up, adorned with gorgeous gems and gold ornaments. Two emerald earrings made her skin look even fairer and more tender.
The cheongsam had a slit, revealing a section of her long and straight legs. On her feet were high heels that looked like they were woven from gold thread. Combined with the faint golden patterns on the cheongsam, she looked very noble.
"Yes, not bad, very beautiful!" Lin Chuan commented.
Hearing Lin Chuan's praise, Seria spun around happily, feeling very glad as well.
As they were talking, a large number of Cultivators suddenly began to arrive one after another. Under the guidance of the Spirit Realm Sect Disciples, they entered the Formation.
Spiritual Void Master also arrived. At this time, he was wearing that green robe, looking elegant, and he was actually holding a bouquet of roses in his hand.
Lin Chuan stepped forward and asked, "Sect Head, what are these roses for?"
Before Spiritual Void Master could reply, the Grand Elder hurriedly stepped forward, pulled Lin Chuan aside, and whispered, "I heard it's a custom from the Western Region. Don't ask too much, just watch."
Lin Chuan looked at the expectant Sect Head with a bewildered Face, unsure of what he was trying to do.
Just before the event ended, the big shots arrived one after another and sat on the chairs prepared below the stage.
Once everyone was seated, the Grand Elder walked onto the stage and announced, "The award ceremony for the Spirit Realm Sect Underground City Secret Realm upgrade event begins now!"
Thunderous applause came from below the stage. Lin Chuan was amazed; he didn't expect that Old Monk's Formation could not only expand space but also not block the transmission of sound.
Meanwhile, inside the Secret Realm, Jian Wuxie's group of four and the Second Prince were still frantically pushing through the Dungeon Instance.
They wanted to solidify their rankings before the event ended.
It wasn't until both parties had killed the boss once more that the notification for the end of the event finally rang out.
Jian Wuxie couldn't wait to leave the Dungeon Instance and ran to the bulletin board to check. Finally, he let out a long breath and said, "Hard work pays off, I've secured it!"
Quan Wudi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his name appear again after the fifth place. He had finally snatched it back; he almost had his spot stolen!
