Chapter 372: Received Another Incomplete Scroll

It was a magnificent building. The people who came in and out were all dressed luxuriously. There were two gold-plated stone lions on both sides of the door. On the plaque above it, there were shining golden words carved — Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.

This was the largest Chamber of Commerce in the world. There were many kinds of things involved. The branches were spread across the four continents as well as Central Plains. It could be said that it was the best in the business field.

Gu Xi, Little Nine, Qing Zhu, and Song Qingluan stood side by side outside the gate. They looked at the building in front of them with some surprise.

“I didn’t expect there to be a branch of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion here.”

Qing Zhu was the first to speak, and her tone seemed to be quite familiar with the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.

“I hope we can find the spirit herbs we need here.” Gu Xi glanced at the three women beside him and shook his head helplessly.

Originally, he only thought that he and Little Nine would come out to buy things. However, he did not expect that Qing Zhu and Song Qingluan would also request to go with them. The reason was to take this opportunity to take a good look around the city. After all, this was the first time the two of them had come to the Eastern Continent.

Elder Gu was naturally worried about Qing Zhu. Originally, he wanted to personally follow and protect her. However, because he was injured, Qing Zhu allowed him to recuperate in the inn. Moreover, she said that with Little Nine around, nothing dangerous would happen.

This was indeed true. She had a divine beast at the peak of the Saint stage traveling with her. Moreover, Qing Zhu’s strength was also quite extraordinary, so he naturally did not need to worry too much.

Thus, Elder Gu and Elder Yun both stayed in the inn. As the host, Gu Xi had no choice but to take on the task of guiding them.

Along the way, the three women were extremely interested in all sorts of new things. They strolled around and looked around, causing Gu Xi to almost forget his official business.

“Sure enough, no matter which world it is, women are always so troublesome.”

Gu Xi had already sighed with emotion for the umpteenth time in his heart.

When they entered the Thousand Treasures Pavilion, the first thing they saw was the magnificent hall. There was an endless stream of people inside. There were all kinds of strange and strange things on the stalls, spirit tools, spirit herbs, spirit arrays, and the like were all available.

As soon as they entered the door, they were greeted by a slim, revealing maid. She bowed slightly to them and asked with a smile, “May I know if you are here to sell or buy?”

Gu Xi subconsciously sized up the maid in front of him. Then, as if he had noticed something, he turned his head to the side and saw the three women staring at him with different eyes. He immediately coughed awkwardly, “Buy.”

“May I know what kind of goods you want to buy?” the maid asked with a smile, as if she did not care too much about Gu Xi’s sizing up just now. Instead, her eyes glanced at the three women at the side from time to time.

As a woman, she could not help but feel that she was eclipsed in front of the three women.

“Do you have these spirit herbs here?” Gu Xi took out a piece of paper from his storage bag and handed it to the maid in front of him. On it was a portion of the spirit herbs needed for the Soul-casting Pill.

He was not stupid, so he naturally would not take out the recipe for the Soul-casting Pill and show it to others. This piece of paper was written by him previously. As for why it was a portion, it was also to prevent people who were interested in it from recognizing the Soul-casting Pill and bringing trouble to himself.

“These spirit herbs are relatively rare. I’m afraid I’ll have to go to the storehouse to verify it. During this period, you can take a stroll on the second floor. The entire floor there is a special place for spirit herbs. I’ll inform you as soon as I’m done verifying it.”

The maid silently memorized the spirit herbs written on the paper. She then bowed to them once more before turning around and slowly leaving.

When she left, she did not forget to move her enchanting figure while walking. Just looking at her back was enough to make any man’s imagination run wild.

Similarly, as a normal man, Gu Xi could not help but glance at her.

“Tsk tsk tsk, men are indeed all bad.”

Qing Zhu gave Gu Xi an extremely disdainful look.

Song Qingluan played with the corner of her clothes with her jade-like hands while Little Nine, who was on the other side, stared fixedly at the maid’s swaying waist. No one knew what she was thinking in her heart.

Being caught red-handed again, Gu Xi could not help but laugh bitterly. He did not intend to open his mouth to explain anything. Instead, he took the lead and walked toward the second floor.

This was because he was very clear that opening his mouth to explain was a sign of a guilty conscience in the eyes of women. No matter how reasonable his words were, they were all excuses!

The hall on the first floor was vast. Most of the stalls here were set up by individual merchants. Although there were various types of stalls, most of them were not of good quality, if they were unlucky, they might even be cheated by others.

Along the way, Gu Xi kept looking left and right, trying to pick up some of these inferior goods. However, it was not so easy to get a free lunch. Moreover, this kind of casual observation was not enough for him to seize a good opportunity.

Soon, the stairs leading to the second floor appeared in front of them. When Gu Xi took the first step, his whole body paused slightly.

He hid well, so that Qing Zhu and Song Qingluan, who followed closely behind him, did not notice it at all. Only Little Nine, who was connected to him, raised her head and looked at him.

Gu Xi used the corner of his eye to glance at a stall not far away, and his gaze locked onto a black scroll on it.

For some reason, this scroll gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

“You guys go to the second floor to take a look first, and search according to the requirements on this scroll.”

After thinking for a moment, Gu Xi took out a piece of paper and handed it to Little Nine. “Remember, you have to buy at least two sets of all the materials. If you can get more, naturally the more the better.”

“Okay.” Little Nine did not ask further. She nodded lightly and walked to the second floor.

Although Qing Zhu and Song Qingluan were puzzled, they did not care too much. The former even thought that Gu Xi was going to find the maid to have a beautiful encounter. For a moment, she could not help but despise Gu Xi more and more.

After the three women completely disappeared, Gu Xi turned around and slowly moved. He did not go directly to the stall. After all, his goal was too strong. Instead, he walked around the area for two rounds before arriving at the stall.

“Boss, how much is this thing?” Gu Xi pointed at a scroll on the stall and asked casually.

At the moment, he was only referring to an extremely ordinary mystic-grade spirit array.

“10,000 middle-grade spirit stones. No bargaining.”

The boss was a middle-aged man. He stretched out a finger and shook it.

Gu Xi shook his head as if he felt it was too expensive. At the same time, his gaze fell on the pitch-black scroll.

[Ding! The Savage Beast Array remnant has been detected!]

[There are a total of 85,413 impurities in it!]

[Would the host like to withdraw it?]
