92: Chapter 92: Searching for the King-grade Elixir

“Yes, Old Man, I'll go keep an eye on him now,” the Old Man outside the door respectfully replied, then turned and quickly departed.

“Young Miss, doesn't that Zhang Bufan dare to provoke people like that, isn't he afraid of losing his life after leaving East City?” Xiao Ling asked, puzzled. “Is he truly not afraid of death, or is there something wrong with his head?”

“Hehe, I don't think it's that simple,” the girl in the pink dress chuckled.

“Oh? Did Young Miss see something?” Xiao Ling became even more confused.

“Hehe, heavenly secrets must not be revealed,” the girl in the pink dress chuckled, then put on a profound and mysterious air.

In truth, she hadn't seen anything either; she just had a hunch that this Zhang Bufan was not simple at all, definitely not the type who was afraid of death and brainless.

Seeing that the girl in the pink dress refused to speak, Xiao Ling tapped her chin and pondered deeply.

Fourth floor.

Fire Qingrou followed behind Zhang Bufan, her face filled with joy. Senior Brother was truly mighty just now; with a single word, he made those two fellows flee in disarray.

“Senior Brother, what did that Move of yours just now express?” Fire Qingrou remembered Zhang Bufan's strange Move and quickly asked.

Xiao Qian, standing by the side, also perked up her ears. Could this be some powerful ultimate Move that could increase the power of a verbal spat?

“This... how should I put it? Actually, I don't know what it expresses either.” Zhang Bufan didn't know how to explain it. Seeing Fire Qingrou and Xiao Qian still staring at him, he thought carefully for a moment, then said somewhat awkwardly, “This Move is something I secretly learned by watching village women bickering when I was back home.”

Fire Qingrou didn't ask further. She then remembered another matter and asked, puzzled, “Senior Brother, why is the number 250 unlucky? Is there any special meaning?”

“That's also a saying from back home. It means betrayal. In short, it's not a good thing,” Zhang Bufan continued to explain.

“Oh.” Fire Qingrou didn't ask anymore. Instead, she began to ponder Zhang Bufan's Move from earlier, even secretly gesturing with her small hand. Although not very skilled, she had a feeling that when arguing with someone, adding this gesture would increase one's combat power by at least thirty percent.

Zhang Bufan wandered all over the fourth floor but didn't find anything he liked. Baldy, however, had a look of resentment on his face, staring at the Spirit Medicine with drool flowing!

Zhang Bufan ignored him and even threatened him, saying that if Baldy dared to steal food, he wouldn't care and would let the people of Wanbao Pavilion catch him and roast him to eat. Baldy was so scared that he could only obediently follow at Zhang Bufan's heels.

Hundred Li Jingang was very quiet. He wasn't very picky. His round eyes scanned everywhere, finding everything new.

From time to time, Fire Qingrou picked up the Mind-Clearing Profound Bamboo Necklace around her neck and looked at it, her face beaming with happiness. Her small hand would occasionally secretly gesture that Move. Her strength wasn't strong enough yet, so she couldn't help Senior Brother for the time being. However, in this East City, she couldn't use her hands, so she had to learn more about using her mouth.

“Xiao Qian, why haven't I seen any Wang Rank Spirit Medicine here on the fourth floor?” Zhang Bufan asked. By now, he had almost all the low-grade medicinal ingredients on the Spirit Medicine list to revive Old Man, but he hadn't found a single Wang Rank or higher one.

“Young Master Zhang, we do have Wang Rank Spirit Medicine and above in our Wanbao Pavilion, but they are all on the upper floors. I'm not sure if they are what you're looking for,” Xiao Qian explained with an apologetic look. “But as far as I know, Wang Rank Spirit Medicine is extremely precious. Even major powers probably only have two or three plants, and they are all considered sect- trấn treasures, very precious. Even if someone were to sell them, the price would not be something ordinary people could afford.”

“Is that so?” The surprise on Zhang Bufan's face quickly faded. He had some Spirit Stone, but hearing Xiao Qian say that, it should still be far from enough. However, he wanted to see the Wang Rank Spirit Medicine in Wanbao Pavilion to see if it was what he wanted, so he could prepare the exact amount of Spirit Stone needed.

“Yes, Young Master Zhang,” Xiao Qian nodded with a smile.

“Xiao Qian, can you take me to see the Wang Rank Spirit Medicine in your Wanbao Pavilion?” Zhang Bufan inquired.

“This...” Xiao Qian said apologetically, “Young Master Zhang, I cannot fulfill your request. Ordinary people do not have permission to go to the upper floors of Wanbao Pavilion. Even I don't know what's up there. I only heard the steward mention Wang Rank Spirit Medicine by chance.”

Zhang Bufan looked disappointed, then asked again, “Xiao Qian, what conditions are required to go to the upper floors?”

“You need to become a VIP of our Wanbao Pavilion,” Xiao Qian replied.

“Then how does one become your VIP?”

“Young Master Zhang, I'm not very clear about the specifics, but if you want to know, I can take you to see our Steward on the fourth floor.”

“Alright,” Zhang Bufan nodded.

“Young Master Zhang, please follow me,” Xiao Qian smiled and led the way.

Soon, Xiao Qian led Zhang Bufan into a pavilion on the fourth floor. Inside the pavilion was a White-haired Old Man leisurely brewing tea.

“Steward Chen, this Young Master Zhang Bufan wants to consult you about something,” Xiao Qian respectfully bowed to the Old Man.

“Hehe, so it's Young Master Zhang, who bought the Mind-Clearing Profound Bamboo Necklace,” Steward Chen sized up Zhang Bufan, then gestured to the chair opposite. “Please, have a seat first. What can I do for you?”

“Steward Chen, I want to know how to become a VIP of your Wanbao Pavilion,” Zhang Bufan was not polite. He walked over and sat down casually. Steward Chen opposite him was a King Sealing Realm expert, but Zhang Bufan appeared very calm, while Fire Qingrou, sitting beside him, was a little unnatural.

Steward Chen looked at Zhang Bufan in surprise and explained, “Young Master Zhang, there are three conditions to become a VIP of our Wanbao Pavilion. Fulfilling one of them is sufficient.”

Zhang Bufan didn't press further, waiting for Steward Chen's next words.

Steward Chen poured each of them a cup of tea and slowly said, “The first condition is to spend ten billion Mid-Grade Spirit Stone in my Wanbao Pavilion. The second condition is to complete a large-value business deal with my Wanbao Pavilion. The third condition is to gain the approval of a high-level Elder or above from my Wanbao Pavilion.”

Zhang Bufan frowned, shaking his head with some disappointment. “I understand, Steward Chen. Sorry to have bothered you.”

After speaking, Zhang Bufan stood up and left the pavilion with Fire Qingrou.

After Zhang Bufan left, a Xuan-robed Old Man walked out from behind Steward Chen.

Steward Chen saw the newcomer and quickly bowed respectfully, “Wan Gebi.”

Wan Qingshan waved his hand and said casually, “It's nothing, you can go back to your work.”

As soon as Zhang Bufan came out of the fourth floor, a young girl informed him that the items he sold had been tallied and asked him to come over.

Zhang Bufan returned to the third floor and came to the Goatee Old Man.

“Young friend, we have finished tallying your treasures. Their value is 120 million Mid-Grade Spirit Stone, and they are all here. Please see if you have any objections,” the Goatee Old Man said, placing a Storage Ring on the counter.

Zhang Bufan checked it, and the amount was correct. He said with a smile, “No objections, thank you, Old mister!”

“Hehe, you're welcome. If you have anything else to sell in the future, feel free to come to me,” the Goatee Old Man chuckled, stroking his beard. Although Zhang Bufan's treasures were not of high Rank, their quantity was enormous. Having completed this transaction, his commission was also considerable, making him extremely happy.

“Good, good, good. Next time I have treasures to sell, I'll still come to you.” Zhang Bufan was also very happy in his heart. He didn't expect those miscellaneous things to sell for so much Spirit Stone.

After bidding farewell to the Goatee Old Man, Zhang Bufan went downstairs with Fire Qingrou. Baldy had already urged him several times, thinking about his Spirit Medicine.

Just as Zhang Bufan was about to walk out of Wanbao Pavilion, a young girl walked over and called out to him, “Young Master Zhang, please wait, someone is looking for you.”
