Loans!
Ye Guan was somewhat speechless.
He had not expected the Immortal Treasure Pavilion to play such a trick.
And this interest rate, it had to be said, was truly a bit terrifying!
Nalan Jia smiled. “Shall we borrow?”
Ye Guan shook his head. “This is too much of a pit. No borrowing!”
At this point, he paused, then said, “However, the Immortal Treasure Pavilion should accept items, right?”
Nalan Jia asked, “Do you want to sell that inner core?”
Ye Guan nodded. He still had one earth-tier inner core and one heaven-tier inner core. Keeping them was not of much use!
As for that earth-tier spiritual vein, he naturally would not sell it!
That thing had to be kept for the Ye clan!
Of course, only when no one in South Province dared to covet the Ye clan!
Nalan Jia said, “We can. By the way, sell my two as well!”
Back then, Ye Guan had given her two, and she had kept them on her.
Ye Guan nodded. “Let’s go!”
The two left the Xiao residence and headed straight for the Immortal Treasure Pavilion!
The Immortal Treasure Pavilion was located in the most prosperous central area of the Upper City, covering nearly a hundred acres.
When Ye Guan and Nalan Jia arrived in front of the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, both were shocked by the sight before them!
Two words: luxurious!
This Immortal Treasure Pavilion was built with extraordinary grandeur and luxury. It stood nine storeys high, with a bustling crowd at the entrance, people coming and going, extremely lively.
As Ye Guan and Nalan Jia stepped through the main door, a woman with delicate features immediately approached them.
The woman smiled. “How may I assist you two?”
Nalan Jia said, “Selling items!”
The woman smiled faintly. “Please follow me!”
With that, she led Ye Guan and Nalan Jia to a long counter. There were twelve counters, each with a long queue.
Ye Guan was taken aback. “Are they all here to sell things?”
The woman smiled. “Yes!”
Ye Guan hesitated for a moment, then took out the heaven-tier inner core. “Take a look at this!”
Upon seeing the heaven-tier inner core in Ye Guan’s hand, a gleam appeared in the woman’s eyes. She smiled. “Understood! Please follow me!”
With that, she brought Ye Guan and Nalan Jia to a private room. Inside sat an elder, carefully examining a scale in front of him.
The woman smiled. “Elder Fu, there is something good!”
Upon hearing this, the elder looked up at Ye Guan and Nalan Jia. “Let me see!”
Ye Guan opened his palm, and the heaven-tier demon beast inner core appeared before the elder.
The elder glanced at it, then shook his head directly. “A heaven-tier inner core, and you call it something good?”
With that, he continued observing the scale in front of him.
At this moment, the woman suddenly said, “Elder Fu, take a closer look!”
Upon hearing this, Elder Fu frowned slightly. He looked at the inner core again. As if discovering something, his pupils suddenly contracted. “This is… the inner core of a Thunder-Swallowing Beast!”
With that, he grabbed the inner core.
Ye Guan and Nalan Jia exchanged a glance, both somewhat puzzled.
When it came to demon beasts, the two of them were complete novices.
At this point, Elder Fu suddenly looked at Ye Guan. “How much are you planning to sell it for?”
Ye Guan said, “You name the price!”
Elder Fu sized up Ye Guan. “How should I address you?”
Upon hearing this, Ye Guan’s expression immediately darkened!
Here it comes!
Damn it!
The same old routine again!
No need to think. If he and Nalan Jia came from some obscure small force, this old man would definitely offer a conscience-defying low price!
In this era, background and backing mattered!
Nalan Jia suddenly opened her palm, and a special power surged from within her body.
Seeing this, Elder Fu was first stunned. In the next moment, his expression changed dramatically. “This is the legendary Holy Spirit Physique… Heavens! This…”
With that, he looked at the delicate woman. “Xiao Xiu, quickly serve tea to our two honoured guests!”
The delicate woman hurriedly withdrew!
Elder Fu quickly smiled. “Young lady, please sit!”
Nalan Jia nodded slightly, then sat down with Ye Guan. At this moment, the delicate woman brought in two cups of tea.
Nalan Jia picked up a teacup, took a gentle sip, then said, “They all say the Immortal Treasure Pavilion is fair, which is why I came here. Please name your price!”
Elder Fu hesitated for a moment, then held up five fingers.
Nalan Jia stared at Elder Fu. “Five million gold crystals?”
Upon hearing this, Elder Fu’s expression froze. He smiled awkwardly. “Young lady, your words truly frighten a person. It is fifty thousand gold crystals!”
Nalan Jia was somewhat displeased. “If it is fifty thousand, just say so. Why play charades?”
Elder Fu fell silent.
He was also speechless. Logically, should you not know the market price?
Nalan Jia set down her teacup. “Add a bit more!”
Elder Fu hesitated, then said, “Cannot add more!”
Nalan Jia opened her palm, and the heaven-tier demon beast inner core immediately flew back into her hand. She looked at Ye Guan. “Let us go!”
Upon hearing this, Ye Guan nodded.
The two stood up to leave!
At this point, Elder Fu quickly said, “Wait! Wait! We can negotiate!”
Nalan Jia turned to glance at Elder Fu. “Negotiate your head, you black-hearted old fellow!”
Elder Fu’s expression froze.
But he did not dare to get angry!
Because the other party not only had the Holy Spirit Physique but was also so arrogant!
There must be someone backing her!
Although the Immortal Treasure Pavilion was powerful, that was the pavilion, not him. If he offended someone he should not, his job would be gone!
Seeing Nalan Jia and Ye Guan about to leave, Elder Fu quickly said, “Eighty thousand! Eighty thousand gold crystals!”
Nalan Jia’s brows furrowed slightly. Elder Fu smiled bitterly. “Young lady, this is already the limit price!”
Nalan Jia stared at Elder Fu. “Ninety thousand!”
“Deal!”
Elder Fu immediately said, “Sold!”
With that, he took out a storage ring and placed it in front of Nalan Jia. Inside the ring were exactly ninety thousand gold crystals!
Seeing this, Ye Guan and Nalan Jia both fell silent!
A miscalculation!
Of course, a bet lost is a bet lost!
Nalan Jia put away the storage ring, then took out two more heaven-tier inner cores. “How much are these two worth?”
Seeing this, Elder Fu’s expression froze.
In the end, Ye Guan and Nalan Jia left the Immortal Treasure Pavilion with three hundred thousand gold crystals.
In front of the Immortal Treasure Pavilion gates, Nalan Jia took out a storage ring and handed it to Ye Guan. Inside were three hundred thousand!
Ye Guan was about to speak when Nalan Jia stared at him. “Just like this!”
Her tone left no room for argument.
Ye Guan hesitated, then said, “Little Jia, you need money!”
Nalan Jia shook her head. “Not needed for now!”
Ye Guan wanted to say more, but Nalan Jia said calmly, “I might get angry!”
Ye Guan was helpless. He put away the storage ring.
Nalan Jia smiled faintly, then said seriously, “Do not casually sell that emperor-tier pill!”
Ye Guan nodded. “I understand!”
The value of an emperor-tier pill far exceeded that of a heaven-tier demon beast inner core. Unless absolutely necessary, he planned to keep it for himself!
In the future, if he absorbed it directly, it could greatly enhance his strength!
Nalan Jia said, “Let us go!”
Ye Guan turned to glance at the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, then said, “People who do business are all so shrewd!”
Nalan Jia nodded slightly. “I heard the founder of the Immortal Treasure Pavilion comes from a place called the Milky Way Galaxy. People from that place are extremely cunning and like to exploit the working class!”
Ye Guan was somewhat puzzled. “Milky Way Galaxy?”
Nalan Jia smiled. “Yes! A place quite far from us. I only learned about it when looking up information on the pavilion master! Apparently, that place also has many special people!”
Ye Guan nodded slightly and said no more.
After the two returned to the Xiao residence, they parted ways and returned to their rooms to cultivate!
Looking at the three hundred thousand gold crystals before him, Ye Guan sighed softly.
Truly poor!
At this moment, the small tower suddenly said, “Do you want to break through to the Imperial Sky Realm?”
Ye Guan nodded. “Yes! I have less than two months left. I want to reach the Imperial Sky Realm!”
The small tower said, “Your sword flight technique is already very fast. Do you know how to make it even faster?”
Ye Guan quickly said, “Please teach me, Tower Master!”
The small tower said, “After reaching the Imperial Sky Realm, one can master the power of space-time. A person can perform space-time shuttling within a small range. Actually, a sword can too!”
Ye Guan was stunned.
The small tower said, “A sword can shuttle through space-time. And I have a sword flight technique targeted at space-time, called: Instant Kill Sword! Within a certain range, the sword shuttles through space-time, allowing one sword to instantly kill the opponent.”
Ye Guan quickly asked, “What tier is it?”
The small tower said, “Why do you care about the tier?”
Ye Guan was stunned.
The small tower said, “If cultivated to the extreme, even an ordinary sword can destroy heaven and earth!”
After a moment of silence, Ye Guan said, “I was too attached to appearances!”
The small tower said, “After you reach the Imperial Sky Realm, you can cultivate this Instant Kill Sword. As for how far you can cultivate this sword, it depends entirely on yourself!”
Ye Guan nodded slightly. “Good!”
The small tower continued, “The Imperial Sky Realm focuses on comprehending space-time. Those so-called Imperial Sky Realm experts you encountered before had a lot of water in their cultivation. They only grasped a bit of the surface of space-time and called it mastering space-time. This is simply a joke. If you reach the Imperial Sky Realm, remember to thoroughly study this realm before moving to the next!”
Ye Guan nodded. “I understand!”
The small tower said, “I happen to have a cultivation method regarding space-time. It is some insights from predecessors on space-time. You can take a look.”
Ye Guan quickly said, “Yes, yes!”
As his voice fell, streams of information suddenly flooded into his mind.
A moment later, Ye Guan’s expression became solemn. He sat cross-legged, then began to comprehend the surrounding space-time!
Space-time!
Simply put, it is time plus space.
The two are one, yet separate.
The aspect of time is very profound and not something Ye Guan could comprehend now. Therefore, the small tower only gave him the space aspect.
Space, simply put, is an objective form of material existence. However, once you begin to touch it, you discover it is far more than that simple.
Gradually, Ye Guan became engrossed.
He had never imagined that space could be so profound.
And in the space cultivation method given by the small tower, it detailed how to sense space-time, then integrate into it, and finally fully master it.
After an unknown time, Ye Guan’s right hand slowly lifted. At this moment, the space-time in front of him began to distort with his right hand!
A while later, Ye Guan suddenly reached forward with his right hand. In an instant, his hand appeared several zhang away!
Seeing this, Ye Guan was overjoyed!
So mastering space-time was this simple!
Then, he began to fly his sword directly. Soon, a bizarre scene appeared in the room. His Path Sword appeared on the left one moment, then on the right the next, unpredictable and ghostly.
Seeing this, Ye Guan became even more excited!
Sword shuttling through space-time!
Inside the small tower, the small tower said solemnly, “This guy’s talent… is just outrageous! Who exactly did he inherit his talent from… Even if it is the young master’s talent, it should not be this way! The young master was not this heaven-defying, and the young master’s mother, apart from making pills all day, hardly cultivated…”
The mysterious voice suddenly said, “She does not cultivate, but many realms in this universe were created by her! She just dislikes cultivating. That does not mean her talent is poor!”
The small tower fell silent.
Almost forgot about that!
At this moment, Ye Guan suddenly fetched paper and brush, then began writing quickly.
The small tower was puzzled. “Why are you writing down the space-time cultivation method I gave you?”
Ye Guan smiled. “Such a good thing, I have to share it with Little Jia!”
The small tower hesitated, then said, “This is very precious!”
Ye Guan grinned. “This is my wife. What is mine is hers… Tower Master, you do not have a wife, do you?”
The small tower: “???”
