155: Taibai Sword Immortal is a celestial being
Night.
East of Tianqi City, there is a peculiar market called Dongxuan Market. This market has many pavilions, all selling items for cultivators.
Xie Weilou changed his face and walked calmly through the market. He browsed many places, but none had what he wanted.
He glanced around, found a Treasure Artifact Pavilion, and walked inside.
Inside the Treasure Artifact Pavilion, there were many items: weapons, cultivation techniques, treasures, spiritual medicines, and so on—everything imaginable. Of course, most of what was displayed were ordinary items.
“Esteemed guest, what can I help you with?”
The owner of the Treasure Artifact Pavilion was a middle-aged man with a Shackles Realm cultivation. He looked at Xie Weilou with a wide smile, appearing extremely enthusiastic.
Xie Weilou said indifferently, “I’ll just look around!”
The owner nodded with a smile, “Alright! Just let me know if you see anything you like.”
“……”
Xie Weilou walked forward expressionlessly. He looked at the items around him, his brows slightly furrowed. These items were all very common and did not catch his eye.
After a thorough search, he found nothing he wanted.
Xie Weilou looked at the owner and frowned, “Don’t you have any alchemy furnaces here?”
“Alchemy furnace?”
Upon hearing this, the owner's eyes lit up. Ordinary cultivators wouldn't buy alchemy furnaces. He quickly explained, “Esteemed guest, an alchemy furnace is essential for alchemists. Ordinary cultivators don't come to buy them. Although I have some, they aren't displayed. Please wait a moment!”
Having said that, he walked to the side.
After a while.
The owner returned. With a wave of his hand, four alchemy furnaces flew out of his storage bag. He smiled and said, “These four alchemy furnaces were all obtained through special channels, and their quality is excellent. Please take a look, esteemed guest.”
Xie Weilou glanced at the four alchemy furnaces and couldn't help but feel a bit speechless: “Your alchemy furnaces must have been spiritual treasures before, but now they are damaged, and all spiritual essence is gone.”
“Uh……”
The owner gave an awkward smile and shook his head, “If they were complete spiritual treasure alchemy furnaces, with my strength, I wouldn’t be able to get them!”
His Spiritual Treasure Pavilion was jointly opened by a group of cultivators, but their cultivations were not strong. The items they could obtain were all very common, and occasionally, when they found good things, they would be snatched up by powerful cultivators.
“Never mind!”
Xie Weilou sighed softly. He casually picked up one of the three-legged round bronze furnaces: “How much is this furnace?”
Along the way, he had encountered many alchemy furnaces, all of which were ordinary items. Although these four alchemy furnaces were damaged, at least the materials were good, and he could try one out.
The owner extended a finger: “Ten thousand taels of silver. Of course, you can also exchange it for spiritual herbs, spiritual medicines, or other cultivation resources.”
“……”
Xie Weilou waved his hand, and stacks of silver notes flew towards the owner.
The owner took the silver notes, quickly counted them, and his smile grew even wider: “Does esteemed guest need anything else?”
“No, thank you.”
Xie Weilou said indifferently and left the pavilion.
Afterward, he browsed the market again and bought many items.
After leaving the market.
It was already an hour later.
He had returned to his original appearance, walking leisurely down the street with a relaxed expression.
“This Young Master!”
Just then, a surprised voice rang out.
Xie Weilou looked over and saw Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, and the others walking quickly towards him. They had all changed into casual clothes and were holding folding fans. To an outsider, they might have looked like young masters from some prominent family.
Xie Weilou looked at them in surprise: “What are you doing?”
Zhang Long said with a beaming smile, “Brother and I are planning to go for a drink. Would This Young Master like to join us? This time, it’s our treat!”
This Young Master had just given each of them a thousand taels, which was enough for a long time of enjoyment. Listening to music in pleasure houses and embracing beauties—this was the joy of countless men.
Xie Weilou’s eyes lit up: “To White Jade Capital?”
“Uh……”
Zhang Long and Zhao Hu exchanged glances, then gritted their teeth and said, “Alright! We’ll go to White Jade Capital. Tonight, it’s our treat.”
“Then let’s go!”
Xie Weilou’s smile deepened.
The group immediately rushed towards White Jade Capital.
— — — — — —
In front of White Jade Capital.
When Xie Weilou and the others arrived, they saw a middle-aged man dressed in white robes, looking extremely refined.
The middle-aged man stood with his hands behind his back, silently gazing at White Jade Capital, muttering to himself, “White Jade Capital in the heavens, twelve towers and five cities. Immortals touch my head, binding my hair for eternal life… What kind of existence was the Immortal Sword of Taibai? To be able to write such a poem, his strength must also be very powerful. I am truly ashamed of my inferiority!”
Xie Weilou looked at the middle-aged man and said with a smile, “The Immortal Sword of Taibai is a heavenly being.”
The middle-aged man paused for a second. He looked at Xie Weilou, smiled, and cupped his fists, “This humble one is Wang Ruoxu. May I ask who the young brother is?”
Xie Weilou cupped his fists and said, “This humble one is Xie Weilou.”
“Xie Weilou? You are Xie Weilou!”
Wang Ruoxu narrowed his eyes and said with a faint smile, “I heard that the poem I just recited was copied by Young Brother Xie from the Immortal Sword of Taibai. May I ask, Young Brother, what does the Immortal Sword of Taibai look like?”
Xie Weilou replied, “It’s hard to describe what he looks like, but he is a drunkard. Every time he drinks, he can compose poetry effortlessly, extremely unrestrained and uninhibited, like a banished immortal descending to the mortal world.”
Wang Ruoxu heard this and said with a smile, “A Sword Immortal, it should be so.”
Xie Weilou said, “Let’s not talk about that. I came to White Jade Capital to drink. Since we met, why don’t I treat you to a drink, Brother Wang?”
Wang Ruoxu laughed in spite of himself, “How can I let you treat? I’ll treat you all!”
Having said that, he walked towards White Jade Capital.
The middle-aged beautiful woman from White Jade Capital immediately came out to greet them. She subtly glanced at Xie Weilou and the others but did not say much.
Wang Ruoxu said with a smile, “The expenses for these guests tonight will be charged to my account.”
“Alright.”
The middle-aged beautiful woman nodded quickly.
Wang Ruoxu walked upstairs with his hands behind his back.
“This Young Master, please!”
The middle-aged beautiful woman showed a warm smile to Xie Weilou. She was somewhat puzzled as to why this person would treat Xie Weilou and the others.
“This Young Master has good connections.”
Xie Weilou was beaming. He glanced at the middle-aged beautiful woman: “The beauty is very curvaceous.”
Having said that, he entered White Jade Capital with a smile.
“……”
The middle-aged beautiful woman’s mouth twitched.
Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, and the others also held their heads high and puffed out their chests. This time, they weren't short on money and feeling embarrassed; this time was different.
Entering White Jade Capital.
Fine wine and delicious food were served, but there were no beauties to accompany them; they could only listen to music and watch the beauties dance.
Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, and the others drank wine while staring intently at the dancing beauties, a hint of regret in their eyes: “What a pity… The beauties are right in front of us, but we can’t have them!”
Xie Weilou held his wine cup, took a sip, and said with a faint smile, “A lotus, it emerges from the mud unstained, cleansed by the clear ripples without being seductive. It can be admired from afar but not defiled. Beauties are the same. Dancing gracefully and charmingly, they are most pleasing to the eye. This is elegance, but you do not understand it; you only want to enter their bodies…”
“This Young Master is right.”
Zhang Long and Zhao Hu and the others gave an awkward smile.
Xie Weilou looked at the middle-aged beautiful woman: “Big beauty, find a girl to drink with me!”
Zhang Long, Zhao Hu: “……”
What about the elegance he just spoke of?
The middle-aged beautiful woman looked speechless: “This Young Master, as I said before, the girls of our White Jade Capital sell their art, not their bodies, and do not accompany guests for drinks!”
