20: Chapter 20 Lingbao Pavilion

Xuanfeng City!

Xuanfeng City is the prefecture capital of Xuanfeng Prefecture. Its city walls are tall and sturdy, having withstood the baptism of countless years, yet they still stand firm.

The city walls are constructed from basalt and are covered in mottled moss, full of the traces of time.

Above the city walls are various watchtowers. These towers are towering and overlook the entire city, with soldiers guarding each one.

The city gates are composed of two massive iron doors. Each door is inlaid with a metal lion head, looking both majestic and domineering.

Standing on both sides of the city gate are two rows of Martial Artist soldiers clad in iron armor, most of them at the Body Tempering Realm. They hold long spears and look awe-inspiring.

People entering the city must pass their inspection before they are allowed to enter.

Walking into the city, the first thing that comes into view is a wide main street, with various shops and taverns on both sides.

Some shops display all kinds of weapons, while others sell daily necessities.

Iron swords, long spears, bows and arrows, and so on can all be found in these shops.

The taverns are even more crowded with a diverse crowd of people, including Martial Artists, merchants, rangers, ordinary people, and so on.

It is incredibly lively, far more prosperous than Spiritwind City.

"System, search for me and see if there are any major Luck individuals here!"

Qin Xiao circulated his Qi and blood to restore himself to a middle-aged state. As he walked through the city, his consciousness spoke to the System in his mind!

"Ding, consumed 50 qi luck value, searching..."

"Ding, returning to Host, unfortunately, the System has not discovered any major Luck individuals within a thousand-mile radius!"

"Sigh! Such a large prefecture capital, with a population of millions, yet it still hasn't managed to produce a major Luck individual? It seems these major Luck individuals are quite rare! And yet, in Spiritwind City, I actually discovered two of them, and the key is that they were both very weak. I have to marvel at my own dumb Luck!"

Qin Xiao thought silently to himself!

Soon, Qin Xiao stopped in front of a tall pavilion. Hanging above the entrance of the pavilion was a huge plaque with the three large characters for Lingbao Pavilion written on it—three characters crafted from gold!

"Tsk tsk! This Lingbao Pavilion is truly rich! Even this plaque is made of gold."

Qin Xiao looked at this gold-crafted plaque and sighed with admiration in his heart.

It is said that Lingbao Pavilion is a powerful force with businesses spread throughout the entire Hundred Territories, with complex and intricate connections. Every city with a population reaching the millions has a Lingbao Pavilion!

Walking straight into Lingbao Pavilion felt just like entering a high-end club. A cool breeze blew, giving people a refreshing feeling. The hall was resplendent and very spacious.

"Sir, hello, is there anything I can help you with?"

A maid wearing a cheongsam, with a delicate face and a curvaceous figure, walked up to Qin Xiao and asked respectfully!

"I want to purchase some Spirit Medicine. They are quite precious, so take me to see your manager. I want to talk to him directly!"

Qin Xiao said. The Spirit Medicine he wanted to buy was quite precious and not something a mere maid could decide on; it was more convenient to go directly to their manager.

"Very well, this way, sir!"

The maid looked Qin Xiao up and down, and seeing his extraordinary demeanor, she immediately agreed!

"Deacon, this gentleman wants to buy some Spirit Medicine. It is quite precious, so he wants to talk to you in person."

After passing through several long corridors, the maid brought Qin Xiao to an old man, explained the situation, and then retreated.

"This gentleman, I wonder what Spirit Medicine you need?"

The deacon, an old man in a green robe with shrewdness flashing in his eyes, stared at Qin Xiao and asked.

"Let me see if you can gather all of these Spirit Medicine ingredients?"

Qin Xiao took a piece of paper recording various Spirit Medicine ingredients from his pocket and handed it to the deacon.

"Very well, sir, please wait a moment while I take a look for you."

The deacon took the paper and said politely.

"Sir, most of the Spirit Medicine on your list are available at our Lingbao Pavilion. However, a few of the Materials are quite precious and are not available at our Xuanfeng City Lingbao Pavilion. If you need them, sir, you could go to the Lingbao Pavilion in Tianyang City to take a look; they might have them there!"

After a while, the deacon spoke slowly!

"Which kinds of Spirit Medicine are missing?"

Qin Xiao frowned and asked.

"Innate Grass, Purple Cloud Flower, Golden Pattern Spirit Mushroom, and Phoenix Tail Bamboo—these ingredients are not in stock!"

"As expected, these are the main ingredients."

Qin Xiao sighed inwardly after hearing the deacon's words! Obviously, he had been prepared for this in his heart.

Although Xuanfeng City is a prefecture capital, its strongest expert is only at the Innate Realm. How could one possibly buy the Spirit Medicine needed for a Martial Artist at the Magic Power Realm to Cultivate!

"In the Lingbao Pavilion in Tianyang City, are these ingredients really available?"

Qin Xiao looked at the deacon and asked softly!

"Sir, the ingredients you require are quite scarce, even in the Lingbao Pavilion in Tianyang City. Even if they are not in stock at the moment, sir, you can place an order, and our Lingbao Pavilion can have them transferred from elsewhere!"

The deacon was silent for a moment, then spoke!

"Fine! I understand."

Qin Xiao nodded and was about to turn and leave!

"Sir, please wait a moment."

Just at this moment, the deacon stopped Qin Xiao, took out a token from his pocket, and handed it to him!

"Sir, this is our Lingbao Pavilion's Black Iron-grade VIP token. Holding it, you can enjoy a 20% discount whenever you shop at our Lingbao Pavilion!"

The deacon could tell from Qin Xiao's aura that Qin Xiao was not simple, plus the Spirit Medicine he was purchasing was also precious.

He naturally understood that this was a major client, so he was willing to befriend him and, incidentally, help Lingbao Pavilion solicit a customer.

"Very well, thank you!"

Qin Xiao took the token and looked at it briefly. The token was crafted from refined iron, with the character 'Ling' on the front and the character 'Bao' on the back. Besides that, there was a special pattern that looked very exquisite.

Putting the token into his pocket, Qin Xiao walked out of the Lingbao Pavilion!

...

Three days later, Qin Xiao appeared in Tianyang City. Tianyang City was an even larger city than Xuanfeng City; the population in the city reached nearly ten million—it was immense!

"System, search this Tianyang City for me and see if there are any qi luck children around!"

Arriving at the center of Tianyang City, Qin Xiao said to the System in his heart!

"Ding, consumed 50 qi luck value, searching..."

"Ding, returning to Host, unfortunately, the System has not discovered any major Luck individuals within a thousand-mile radius of Tianyang City!"

"Sigh! Still nothing. This is a population of nearly ten million, yet there's still nothing. These major Luck individuals are just too rare!"

Qin Xiao sighed again in disappointment and lamented in his heart!

Disappointed, he plunged into the Lingbao Pavilion in Tianyang City again. After taking out his token and stating his purpose, Qin Xiao was led by a maid to the door of a room.

The maid first went over to knock on the door, walked inside, bowed, and said, "Manager, this gentleman wants to buy some Spirit Medicine that is quite precious; he needs you to meet with him personally."

"Oh! I understand, please have the guest come in!"

A pleasant female voice came from inside, full of charm!

"Please, sir!"

After receiving permission, the maid opened the door and gestured for Qin Xiao to enter!
