Chapter 5 9 God Phoenix Hairpin
Manager Chen and Lu Danian stood awkwardly in place, while the charming Zi Yun was also somewhat stunned.
A highly respected, white-haired old man actually gave Ziyun a gift?
Or is it something as personal as a hairpin?!
Dare not speak.
Neither Steward Chen nor Lu Danian dared to utter a single word. Given Elder Xu's status in the Misty Sect, they wouldn't dare to utter a peep...
Zi Yun snapped out of her daze and looked at the warm and natural smile on the other person's withered old face, blinking her beautiful eyes several times.
There was surprise and doubt, but then came a hidden hint of joy.
The old man... he's almost dead, and he's still thinking about pretty girls...
Zi Yun chuckled inwardly; she was a woman of the world.
What else could it mean for such a highly respected elder to give her a hairpin?
Isn't it just that you have those kinds of thoughts?
But... he's just too old... she can't accept it.
Of course, even if she weren't old, she wouldn't accept a man for no reason.
"Thank you very much, Elder Xu. Elder Xu, if you need to buy anything in the future, please be sure to patronize my Zilai Trading Company!"
Ziyun still put the hairpin into her bosom right in front of everyone.
Even if they don't accept it, they can't embarrass this highly respected inner sect elder of the Misty Sect in front of so many people.
Seeing this, Xu Xiao stroked his beard and laughed, "Hehe, of course, with Manager Zi here, I will naturally come to your esteemed business to support you if I have any needs in the future."
[Congratulations, host, on successfully gifting a low-grade magic hairpin. This is your first gift of Purple Aura, triggering a thousandfold critical hit and returning the top-grade magic artifact, the Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix Hairpin.]
[Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix Hairpin: A top-grade magical artifact. When infused with spiritual power, it unleashes a fire phoenix attack, the power of which increases with the user's cultivation level.]
A peerless magical artifact, the Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix Hairpin?!
Looking at the shimmering Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix Hairpin in the spatial storage, Xu Xiao felt a surge of joy.
This refund is so exciting!
Although a top-grade magic artifact is inferior to a magic treasure, it is still a supreme magic artifact that is extremely rare and hard to come by in the cultivation world.
He was previously at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage, but he didn't have a single top-grade magic weapon to his name.
Even the sect leader's junior sister, Dugu Ling, only possessed two top-grade magic artifacts.
If it were sold as spirit stones, it would be an astronomical price.
Looking at the other person's otherworldly and righteous appearance, Zi Yun felt a hint of mockery.
The old man, he's putting on quite a show...
After they parted, Xu Xiao, with Lu Danian's help, got into the carriage.
The carriage slowly made its way along East Street toward the city gate.
At the entrance of the Zilai Trading Company, Manager Chen watched the departing carriage with a strange expression and said, "Manager, I heard Elder Xu only has a year left to live... I didn't expect him to still have such thoughts... He's truly vigorous for his age..."
Zi Yun puffed out her proud figure and said with a hint of pride, "Hehe, doesn't this prove that I, the shopkeeper, am quite charming? Alright, Old Chen, let's get to work. Elder Xu doesn't have much time left, and I reckon he'll come back to spend spirit stones here again."
"We must treat him well; he's a big, fat sheep."
......
East Street is bustling and prosperous, with all kinds of shops teeming with people.
Inside the carriage, Lu Danian glanced at Xu Xiao, who was meditating, with his ox-like eyes. His honest face showed some concern as he said, "Uncle-Master... hang in there a little longer... Master is already helping you find a Daoist partner. She will definitely be no worse than that Zi Yun!"
He was a man too, and he understood the helpless loneliness in his senior's heart.
Now that my master is on his deathbed, it's perfectly normal for him to want to experience being with a woman.
He understands from the bottom of his heart!
Xu Xiao opened his eyes and looked at Lu Danian as if he were a fool.
The latter continued, "Senior Uncle! If all else fails, I'll have a few beautiful female outer sect disciples serve you tomorrow. I'm an outer sect enforcement elder; they won't dare refuse!"
Xu Xiao's face darkened, and he let out a heavy sigh.
Then he slapped Lu Danian's big head, "You brat! What are you saying! You want to take advantage of our sect's female disciples?"
Xu Xiao said disdainfully, "Is your senior uncle that kind of person? I was just being polite when I gave Zi Yun the gift."
“You wouldn’t understand even if I explained it to you more, Da Nian. Your senior uncle isn’t that kind of person. He had other reasons for sending things to Zi Yun. It’s not what you think. Just trust your senior uncle.”
Looking at the other person's sincere old face, Lu Danian nodded emphatically.
He said, "How could someone as virtuous and respected as my senior master be interested in those pretty faces?"
It turns out he misunderstood!
However, he didn't ask for the specific reason, because he chose to unconditionally believe his senior master!
As the carriage approached an intersection, a group of people were gathered on the road ahead, and it seemed that arguing could be heard coming from within them.
"Boss! These three Foundation Establishment Pills are mixed with so many impurities, the quality is so poor, how dare you sell them to my junior sister?!"
Outside a shop, a young man in a light blue long robe shouted angrily at four or five employees, "You're cheating your customers!"
There was one man and three women standing next to the man.
They were also wearing light blue robes, which was the uniform of the outer disciples of the Misty Sect.
These five people are all outer disciples of the Misty Sect.
One of the female disciples, who was slender and pretty, was holding three white pills in her hand. She was looking at the shop assistants with a wronged expression, and her eyes seemed to be a little red.
At the shop entrance, the middle-aged shopkeeper, who was leading the group, smiled politely and said, "Esteemed customers, once you've placed your order, it's done. The transaction was just completed in the shop."
"Now that you've been gone for so long, you've finally come back saying you want to change the pills. Who knows if you've actually switched these three Foundation Establishment Pills yourselves to extort money from us?"
The male disciple who stepped forward frowned and fell silent.
The pretty female disciple who bought the pills immediately explained, "I didn't switch them, I didn't switch them... I bought these three Foundation Establishment Pills from your pharmacy... You lied to me..."
The female disciple looked aggrieved, her fair and beautiful face flushed slightly; she was very sad.
I finally managed to collect three mid-grade spirit stones and was preparing to buy three Foundation Establishment Pills to help me establish my foundation.
As a result, she encountered an unscrupulous merchant... This was all her savings.
The male onlookers around, seeing that the female disciple was beautiful, all stepped forward to speak up for her.
These damned, unscrupulous merchants even cheat beautiful women; they are utterly shameless.
Didn't you see that they are disciples of the Misty Sect?
Aren't they afraid that the Misty Sect will cause them trouble?
Amidst the accusations of the onlookers, the middle-aged shopkeeper calmly smiled and said, "Please don't be anxious, everyone! My shop has always been an honest business and would never sell defective pills. I think someone must have switched the pills for this young lady."
"Young lady, I think you should hurry up and find the thief who switched the pills. He probably hasn't gone far, so you can catch him and get them back."
These words enraged not only the five outer disciples of the Misty Sect, but also the onlookers around them.
This pharmacy is clearly ripping people off!
Seeing that these people still hadn't left, the middle-aged manager slightly revealed a hint of the aura of a Core Formation cultivator.
Immediately, the expressions of the five Misty Sect disciples among the onlookers changed.
This manager is actually a Core Formation stage cultivator!
Fighting is forbidden within the city, but those with higher cultivation levels naturally have more right to defend themselves.
The pretty woman's face paled. She realized that she would probably never get her three mid-grade spirit stones back...
"what happened?"
On the carriage, Xu Xiao looked at the crowd of people blocking the way ahead and asked.
Lu Danian said, "Senior Uncle, several of our sect's outer disciples have had transaction disputes with shops."
"We don't need to pay attention to it, it should disperse soon."
Tiger Roar City has many outer disciples of the Misty Sect, and these disputes happen every day.
Generally, sects don't concern themselves with minor matters like spirit stones and pills; they have to handle them themselves, otherwise they'd be too busy to manage.
Xu Xiao nodded.
[Detected: Lin Yan'er, the woman of destiny]

Return multiplier: 10x
[Bond Level: 1]
[Note: Your luck level will increase with special opportunities.]
"Oh?"
The system voice sounded in his ear, and Xu Xiao's expression changed slightly.
