Chapter 101: Shifu's Sister?
"Hello!" Chen Hao greeted in a calm tone.
The woman smiled slightly, her eyes fluttering imperceptibly, and then the smile on her face grew thicker. "Hello, let's talk in the VIP room?"
"Good. I'll take all these flying knives. Can I take them away first?"
"Of course." Upon hearing Chen Huan's words, the woman looked at the attendant behind the counter and smiled: "Help this gentleman put it away."
Under the gaze of many fiery eyes, Chen Huan walked into the VIP room with nine flying knives in hand, shoulder to shoulder with the woman. After they sat down, the woman smiled and said: "Your voice sounds very young, it's rare for someone of your age to be promoted to Wu Huang... If I'm not mistaken, you should be a disciple of the Imperial New Star Hall, right?"
"Huh?"
The girl's first sentence made Chen Hao frown.
"Hehe, don't worry. Our Flowing Clouds Chamber will keep all customers confidential. You should know that we are the imperial family, an official organization. The new Xiu Tang is not a secret to our high-level members of the Flowing Clouds Chamber. The disciples of the new Xiu Tang are also one of our main clients here. My name is Yun Fei Yan, one of the managers of the Flowing Clouds Chamber, nice to meet you!" Yun Fei Yan's beautiful eyes gazed at Chen Huan, a faint fragrance like orchid wafted around her, as if it still contained a hint of strange fluctuations.
This is not some kind of enchanting skill, but rather Yun Fei's natural charm and innate aura. If it were an ordinary man who was in such close proximity to her, he would probably be more or less captivated by this charm.
However, Chen Huan, who was gazing at the enchanting and alluring woman through his veil, slightly curled up the corner of his mouth and said straightforwardly: "Sorry, Cloud General Manager. Since I've come out like this, it's natural that I don't want to reveal my identity. Let's talk about the main issue. I need a storage ring!"
Upon hearing Chen Huan's words, Yun Fei Yan slightly froze, but immediately smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. We have storage rings here, but they are all low-level and mid-level storage rings. High-level ones may only appear during the auction."
"Can you tell me specifically? Capacity, price and so on. I have never been in contact with a storage ring before." Chen Hao asked.
"Of course. The low-grade storage ring is five feet square, and general weapons and items are enough to be placed, the price is one thousand sixth-grade spirit dan. The intermediate storage ring has a square of one zhang, the price is two million sixth-grade spirit dan! High-grade ones are all above three zhang square, not fixed, the larger the space, the higher the price."
"So expensive?" Chen Hao exclaimed in surprise.
"This is already the special price given by the new Xiu Tang disciples. If ordinary people come to buy, they won't have such a low price!" Yun Fei Yan said: "Which one do you need? For low and medium levels, you can buy now. For high-level ones, you'll have to wait for the auction, it's not certain when there will be."
"I want a lower one, I'll take three. Can you give me a better deal?" Chen Hao said, haggling without regard for the beauty's identity.
"Hehe... I told you, little brother. For the new disciples of the Royal New Show Hall, Liuyun Chamber of Commerce has always been selling at the bottom price. You will all become big shots in our Zhenyuan Kingdom in the future, can we still ask for high prices from you?"
"Alright. Can I buy it with this dan medicine?" Ruan was Chen Hao's early knowledge of the storage ring price is absolutely not cheap, but also did not think that it would be expensive to such an extent, a low-grade storage ring actually costs one thousand six-level spiritual medicine.
What is the concept of a thousand? It's probably not enough even if all the spiritual medicines in Xiao's family are added up.
"Huh?" Yun Fei Yan saw the elixir in Chen Huan's hand and suddenly revealed a hint of surprise, saying: "Five Elements Spirit Elixir? You... used this to buy it?"
"Is there something wrong?"
"No problem! Of course not..." Yun Fei Yan hastily said, but was very surprised in her heart. The Royal New Star Hall's matter in Xuan Huang Ancient City, the Liu Yun Chamber of Commerce had already learned about it at the first time. At this moment, someone from the Chamber of Commerce's high-level had gone to the Royal New Star Hall to make contact, to see if they could buy out a part of it.
"How about this? One top-grade Six-Level Spirit Dan for several? Our New Show Hall is one to ten. Since you're familiar with the New Show Hall, you should also know that when I exchange for points at the New Show Hall, it includes a mandatory component and can also obtain corresponding welfare level rewards. This isn't something that dan medicine can measure..."
"Don't worry, I'll give you a satisfactory price. One for thirty! One Five-Line Spirit Dan is worth thirty six-grade spirit medicines."
"Deal. This is two hundred Five-Line Spirit Pills, equivalent to six thousand sixth-grade spirit medicine. Deducting the three storage rings' three thousand pills, there are three thousand left. Deducting the nine flying knives', help me exchange them for seventh-grade spirit medicine." Chen Huan said succinctly and efficiently. One to thirty, but it's actually a bit better than he imagined. It seems that what Yun Fei Yan said is true, as a new disciple of the Imperial Family's New Star Hall, he indeed receives special treatment here. Therefore, he didn't dare to haggle over the price.
"No problem... Hehe, how about I give you the flying knife as a gift?" Yun Fei Yan suddenly said with a charming smile, her eyes full of temptation.
"Is it conditional?" Chen Hao smiled slightly and said directly.
"Really clever, hehe... the condition is very simple. The master sister just wants to get to know you. It's also good for more cooperation opportunities in the future." Yun Fei Yan smiled, her tone natural and intimate but not coquettish, yet her self-address seemed a bit strange. How did it become master sister? How did it become so intimate?
Yunfei naturally saw the value hidden in Chenhao's body. As for the matter of the Xuanhuang Treasure Trove, she had already learned about it in detail at the first moment. The vast majority of disciples only obtained twenty or thirty five-element spirit pills. But Chenhao handed out two hundred. Such generosity, how could it be just two hundred? Being able to obtain so many spirit pills among a group of talented disciples, naturally has abilities that ordinary people do not have. This kind of person, if a good relationship is established, will definitely bring great benefits in the future. As for calling herself "Shi Jie", she naturally had her reasons.
"Eldest sister? If I have an eldest sister as beautiful as you, I naturally won't object. But..."
"Hehe... Don't be surprised yet. You'll understand later why I call myself Shifu Jie. Shifu Jie knows what you want to say. It's just that you don't want the people of the Imperial Newcomer Hall to know that you got so many Wu Xing Ling Dan. Don't worry about this, the Chamber of Commerce has its own rules, and any information about buyers or sellers will not be disclosed. Of course, even if you refuse to answer, Shifu Jie knows who you are..." Yun Fei Yan interrupted Chen Huan, her alluring face shining with confident light, smiling as she spoke.
"Guess it?"
"Your voice, physique prove that your age is probably under 15 years old. The aura you emit should be a mid-to-low grade cultivation of the imperial level. So, you should be one of the new disciples who just joined the Imperial New Star Hall, and you should be a direct disciple. Among this group of direct disciples, there are thirteen people in total among the three major halls. Thirteen people, four females, nine males. Among the nine male disciples, I recognize five, only four have not been seen before. Two are from the Zhang family, one of the strongest families outside of the top three families in our country, and they all cultivate the 'Crazy Knife Heart Classic', which can be ruled out at a glance. The remaining two were personally selected by President Fangyuan in Yunzhou County, Lanzhou Province, one named Moyu Yi, the other Chenhao, and also took Chenhao as his disciple. Moyu Yi has a hint of sword intent, always carrying a sword with him. Chenhao, you have both literary and martial qualities, you are Chenhao! And I am also President Fangyuan's direct disciple!"
"Cough...cough..."
Chen Hao was slightly stunned, he never thought that the charming woman in front of him would be so familiar with the new disciples of the royal family. It seemed like she had a clear understanding of each and every disciple's name and characteristics in her mind. Even those who were hiding their true selves couldn't escape her eyes.
"Is what Shifu said right? Little Brother Chen Hao?"
"I've got the flying knife, thanks! I'm in a hurry, can you please help me get the storage ring and spiritual elixir quickly..." Chen Hao shrugged his shoulders, somewhat speechless.
"I've received the gift, I should show it to my senior sister, right? The new star hall's senior sister still visits often!" Yun Fei Yan's mouth corners slightly curved upwards as she gazed at Chen Huan. She was very aware of her own charm, but the Chen Huan in front of her seemed to be oblivious to her beauty. Having been seen through by herself, he didn't even have any intention of revealing his true appearance, instead having an anxious look on his face as if eager to leave."
"Alright?" Chen Hao took off his bamboo hat and said.
Seeing Chen Huan's clear and handsome face, Yun Fei Yan was slightly stunned, but immediately glared at Chen Huan: "You're very annoying, Shifu?"
"No. I just don't like women who are too beautiful and too clever..."
"Hehe... thank you for the compliment. Sister is clever only to outsiders, in the future if you need something or want to sell something, remember to come find sister. Sister will definitely take care of you..." Yun Fei said with a smile: "At just thirteen years old, you're even more cunning than sister... alright, sister will go prepare for you, it'll be ready soon!"
"This should be the area, right?"
Thirteen days later, Chen Huan appeared in a desolate mountain forest, standing at the top of a mountain peak, gazing at the distant towering peaks, cross-referencing with the task map, and secretly thinking to himself.
The Demon Cloud Mountain Range, stretching for tens of thousands of kilometers, spans across several countries. This region is where the Four Great Kingdoms border each other and also where the aura of ancient relics appears. After bidding farewell to the enchanting and extraordinary sister, Chen Haoyu traveled day and night, taking a full thirteen days to finally arrive at his destination. At this moment, he still wore a black robe, having only removed his conical hat. Gazing from afar at the figure that occasionally darted into the forest, Chen Haoyu was basically certain that this was the edge of the mission area.
After determining the direction, Chen Huan transferred the "Ku Jigong" from the remaining volume of Changsheng jue to the third layer, and his breath was completely retracted. He plunged into the wild mountains and forests.
There are only a few days left before the relic's aura fluctuates, Chen Huan doesn't want to waste time, let alone whether he can find the relic is just a matter of luck. Chen Huan didn't have too much hope, after all, the Treasure Sword Spirit said that most relics are super high-level masters' seals, even he couldn't sense the entrance to the relic, this requires opportunity and luck.
So, Chen Huan's main purpose was to gain experience and also to search for the Sword Spirit. Obtaining some spiritual medicine would be a bonus... But as Chen Huan ventured deeper into the core of the region, after two whole hours, he surprisingly didn't sense any demonic beast aura, but instead sensed many cultivator auras, as if all the demonic beasts had vanished into thin air. This was an extremely strange phenomenon for the Magic Cloud Mountain Range...
