Chapter 980 Skyone Pavilion

Miss Le couldn’t help asking, “What exactly is the treasure?” 

She was surprised because she had carefully checked that the bunch of items that Lin Xun bought was nothing special and not of great value.

“An array stone. The surface is stained with blood so even an old monster of the Life Death Stage can’t see what’s special about it, but in the eyes of a rune founder, it is a precious treasure,” Lin Xun whispered. “This is because it involves supreme forbidden power. It looks ordinary, but it contains mysterious secrets.”

At the same time, the purple-robed youth frantically hurried to the stall, shouting, “Boss, where’s the pile of things I looked at just now?”

“I just sold them. Why? What’s wrong?” the stall owner asked suspiciously.

“How can you sell them?” The purple-robed youth’s face darkened and he yelled in exasperation, “Didn’t I tell you to not sell them?” He grabbed the stall owner by the collar and asked through gritted teeth, “Then tell me, who bought them? Where is that person now?”

The stall owner tried to wrestle him off in a panic. “Do you know where this is? How dare you attack me?“

“I come from the Heaven Axis Holy Land, do you think I won’t dare to attack you?” The purple-robed youth’s expression was ice-cold.

His one sentence made the stall owner’s expression change, and his attitude completely curbed. He told him the truth about what happened just now.

“You dishonest bastard! You ruined my plan. If I can’t find the Dao Forbidden Stone, then I am going to skin you alive!” The purple-robed youth threatened before he stormed off. 

Dao Forbidden Stone?

The stall owner blankly watched him leave. 

Although he didn’t know what it was, he knew it couldn’t be an ordinary treasure since it could make a successor from the Heaven Axis Holy Land so anxious and worried.

“Damn it, I hunt geese all the time, but today I was blinded by a goose!” The stall owner beat his chest and stamped his feet in frustration. He even felt his heart was in tears.

……

The purple-robed youth searched the vast sea of people, but it felt like he was looking for a needle in a haystack. In the end, he failed to find the buyer described by the stall owner.

“Argh, I was only one step too slow, but I missed out on such a huge opportunity!” The purple-robed raged, almost going crazy. 

In the end, he calmed down and sighed, “I can only report back now.”

……

The Skyone Pavilion. 

The most prestigious business in Jade Flame City.

It was an eye-opener for Lin Xun and the others when they arrived. 

The thousand-foot-tall building was constructed from some kind of mysterious amethyst, glowing a magnificent purple hue as it towered into the clouds. 

Strings of azure glass lanterns were hung under the eaves of the pavilion, releasing a divine brilliance that complemented the wondrous purple light reflecting off the wall, which made the building all the more dreamy.  

Lin Xun also couldn’t help marveling in his heart. Given his ability, he could tell that the entire building was enveloped in rune arrays that resonated with each other to form a defense comparable to a king array, which was miraculous.

The array was not too terrifying, but to operate the array required an astronomical amount of aeth essence daily!

This fact alone showed how rich and powerful the owner of the Skyone Pavilion was. 

After stepping into the building, it was another world. The inside was just as impressive as the exterior with the ground and walls all constructed from pale golden gemstones that were polished as smooth as a mirror. Under the lights of the golden-bronze lanterns, it looked as grand as a palace.

“I need to go in first to find someone, why don’t you wait here with Xiaohe?” said Miss Le.

“Okay.” Lin Xun nodded. 

Immediately, Miss Le called an attendant, whispered something, and was guided to the depths of the building.

Lin Xun guessed that Miss Le was likely preparing for her return to the sect.

He had nothing to do, so he and Xiaohe wandered around the Skyone Pavilion.

The building was indeed very extraordinary, and all kinds of rare treasures, aeth herbs and rune materials were on display...There were so many magnificent items in every corner that it dazzled their eyes. 

Even Lin Xun, who was used to seeing all kinds of treasures, couldn’t help but marvel at the sight. The Skyone Pavilion indeed deserves its reputation. All its treasures are high-quality goods and not a single one is ordinary.

For example, one of its treasures, the Underworld Light Cloud Armor, was cast from a combination of hundreds of rune materials under the wonder underworld qi from a bottomless abyss. In addition, it was inscribed with many complex rune arrays that made it invulnerable to water and fire. 

Another example was a pair of boots. Although its appearance was simple, it was crafted from the hide of the golden-eyed black sparrow, so it was extremely rare and precious.

However, their prices were eye-watering. No ordinary cultivators could afford them.

Unknowingly, they came to the treasure exchange area.

A thought struck Lin Xun. He organized the items in his storage ring, intending to exchange all the unused treasures into aeth essence. 

It was at that moment that a girl’s voice rang not far away, “Hey, are you Xiaohe? It’s been a while since I’ve seen you. Why are you not begging on the streets? Why did you come here? Could it be that you can’t survive any more so you want to ask me for a bite of food?”

Her tone was bitterly sarcastic, and her words were unkind. Xiaohe went stiff, and her pretty face reddened with anger. 

Lin Xun turned his head to see a beautifully dressed girl coming their way. 

She was only around fourteen to fifteen years old, but she already had such an icily arrogant air around her. Her long shapely eyebrows were raised, and her thin lips were slightly pursed together. Her face was gorgeous, but it was twisted with undisguised contempt.  

As she came over, the nearby attendants all bowed respectfully. “Greetings, Miss Pei.”

Pei Wen strode straight towards Xiaohe with her chin up, ignoring the attendants’ greetings. 

“Tsk tsk, look, you are still so shabby. Didn’t you swear that you would rather die than beg for food, but I see that you are no different from when you were a beggar last year.”

She looked Xiaohe up and down with narrowed eyes and spoke with disdain, “Tell me, what are doing in the Skyone Pavilion?”

“Pei Wen, I don’t want to argue with you about the past. Different people have different aspirations. You have your way of living, and I have my own way of living. Why do you need to mock me the moment we meet?” Xiaohe’s fists were clenched subconsciously.

Clearly, she and Pei Wen were acquainted.  

Pei Wen giggled, “I just can’t stand you. So what if I mock you? You and I both come from a poor background, but I have better luck than you and I met a life-changer. My fate also changed from then on, but you...haha, you are still so pathetic.”

“You went too far!” Xiaohe snapped, “Don’t forget how you changed your fate!”

Pei Wen sneered, “The process is not important, the most important thing is the result. Look, I am respected everywhere I go now, but you are still a beggar!”

She suddenly frowned and said coldly to the attendants, “Who let this beggar in here? This is the Skyone Pavilion, can anyone come and go as they please here?”

Those attendants were all as silent as cicadas in the winter.

“Why are you all still standing there? Throw her out!” Pei Wen scolded.

It was an undisguised attack and humiliation.

“You...you went too far!” Xiaohe was so angry that her body was trembling and she almost bit her lips. 

Lin Xun couldn’t stand watching any longer. He had roughly guessed what was going on. Although he didn’t know the specific reasons, that was not important anymore.

The important thing was that Xiaohe was being bullied in front of him!

He couldn’t tolerate that.
