Chapter 873: Chapter 873: The Profligate Son
The Golden Core Flying Warship steadily descended in the outskirts of Lingyou City.
Like most Immortal Cities, Lingyou also prohibited foreign flying boats and warships from flying above the city to prevent sudden attacks by enemies or bandits.
Wang Chen stored the warship and entered the city with Su Ziling.
“I need to take care of some business.”
He handed a Storage Bag to Su Ziling, “You can wander around the city first, buy anything you like, and I’ll meet up with you in a while.”
This Storage Bag was filled with Spirit Stones, it being Su Ziling’s first time in Lingyou, naturally, he wanted her to enjoy her shopping spree.
Besides, Wang Chen did not want to bring her along to meet True Person Jingyun.
“Alright.”
Su Ziling joyfully took the Storage Bag, her heart leaping with excitement.
Shopping was undoubtedly a woman’s nature, the same across all the worlds and realms!
After parting with Su Ziling for the time being, Wang Chen then sent a Talisman Message to True Person Jingyun, making an appointment to meet at the usual place.
As for Su Ziling’s safety, Wang Chen was not worried; Lingyou City might only be a “yellow” grade Immortal City, but it was protected by a large Array. Moreover, the city was orderly with no rampant evil forces.
Upon reaching the high tower known as “Star Picking,” Wang Chen didn’t have to wait long before True Person Jingyun appeared.
He sensed something unusual about True Person Jingyun’s aura and couldn’t help but say apologetically, “Sorry for disturbing your cultivation.”
When Wang Chen sent the Talisman Message, True Person Jingyun was obviously in seclusion, and his message had startled her.
“It’s no trouble.”
True Person Jingyun smiled, “Taoist Friend Wang, no need for self-reproach.”
It was not a critical life-or-death seclusion she was in; if it had been a matter of fate and future, any Talisman Message would have been blocked outside her Cave Mansion.
Wang Chen nodded and handed over the prepared Storage Bag, “Please take care of these Spiritual Artifacts for me.”
True Person Jingyun took it and opened it to look inside, her eyes immediately brightening, “Excellent!”
She knew her stuff and recognized the exceptional quality of these Spiritual Artifacts at a glance, her heart itching with desire, “I’ll take them all at market price!”
True Person Jingyun didn’t need Spiritual Artifacts for herself. The Magical Treasure set custom-made by Wang Chen was good enough for her to use for decades or even a century with proper care.
However, she was not a solitary person; she had a large family, disciples, and friends behind her.
The top-quality Spiritual Artifacts brought out by Wang Chen could improve the strength or combat power of a Purple Mansion Cultivator, and if they were put on the shelves for sale and scattered, it would be a great pity.
How good it would be to keep them for one’s own people!
Wang Chen’s Artifact Refining skills were completely trusted by True Person Jingyun.
Wang Chen smiled and said, “Let’s just count it at a discount of thirty percent.”
Of course, he understood True Person Jingyun’s intentions, but it didn’t matter to him at all—whom to sell to if not to sell to her?
Besides, True Person Jingyun was considered a friend.
True Person Jingyun immediately took out Spirit Stones and bought all the Spiritual Artifacts.
Although she paid a discounted price, she additionally gifted Wang Chen a batch of Weapon Refining Materials to make up for it, not taking advantage of him.
Both parties were overjoyed with the transaction.
True Person Jingyun still had an eager tone, “Taoist Friend Wang, if you have such Spiritual Artifacts in the future, just sell them all to me!”
These Spiritual Artifacts could not only be kept for their own use but could also be given to elites of other communities for expanding their influence.
Most importantly, True Person Jingyun really wanted to tether Wang Chen to her own ship!
Meanwhile, as Wang Chen was negotiating with True Person Jingyun, Su Ziling found herself in a tailor shop in Lingyou City.
Despite Wang Chen’s exceptional skills in Artifact Refining, crafting a Taoist Robe or Magical Skirt was not something he could do.
One must know that magical clothes and Taoist robes need to be made separately, and tailoring is one of the hundred arts of Immortal Cultivation!
Su Ziling had not bought new clothes in a long time, and after so long, the few dresses she alternated between had significantly faded.
Today, following Wang Chen to Lingyou Immortal City, her main desire was to shop for clothing.
For herself, and for Wang Chen too!
Not only was this tailor shop large in scale, but the business was also exceptionally bustling; inside the main hall, there were about twenty or thirty customers selecting garments.
With her face veiled, Su Ziling moved from one rack to another, searching for styles she liked.
Before long, she had picked out two dresses and two Taoist robes.
“Esteemed fellow daoist…”
Just as Su Ziling was immersed in the joy of shopping, a somewhat greasy voice came from beside her, “I take the liberty to inquire about fellow daoist’s esteemed name, please forgive my boldness if I have been presumptuous!”
The words seemed polite, but there was an unmistakably frivolous undertone that was jarring!
Su Ziling turned her head to look and saw, a few steps away, a young man in a brocaded robe standing there.
The man appeared to be in his twenties or thirties, with a presence and looks that could definitely be described as suave and dashing, and his skin was fair and handsome.
However, the way his pair of eyes fixed on Su Ziling made her extremely uncomfortable.
She felt as if she was being targeted by a venomous snake!
Having suffered quite a bit in her youth, Su Ziling was no ignorant maiden unfamiliar with the ways of the world; she immediately recognized that this brocaded-robed cultivator was a scion of Lingyou City, the likes of an Immortal Second Generation, or third or fourth generation.
Such people were trouble!
Su Ziling grew wary in her heart and decided to pretend she hadn’t heard anything, turning to walk toward the exit.
If you can’t provoke them, evade them!
Little did she expect that after just a few steps, the brocaded-robed cultivator blocked her path, “Fellow daoist, aren’t you being a bit too disrespectful?”
“Get out of the way!”
Su Ziling knew well that showing the slightest weakness to such a person could easily lead to being manipulated.
Her response was fierce, immediately drawing the attention of nearby customers.
Some began to understand and showed disapproval.
“What are you looking at!”
The brocaded-robed cultivator met the gazes of those looking his way with a ferocious glare and arrogantly said, “Do you know who I am? Scram, all of you, or you won’t be leaving!”
His brazenness was fueled by confidence, and while speaking, he even flashed a shimmering golden talisman card.
A talisman card emanating the aura of a Golden Core!
At this, everyone averted their gaze, and some even hurriedly left.
Others’ business is none of my own—a wise choice not to provoke such a scion on behalf of a stranger.
“You…”
There were hot-blooded young cultivators who wanted to retaliate, but their companions forcefully dragged them away, “Don’t go looking for death!”
“Hahaha!”
The brocaded-robed cultivator laughed heartily, reaching out to grasp the veil on Su Ziling’s face, “Let me see what you look like!”
He had been instantly smitten upon seeing Su Ziling, enamored by her figure and aura. No matter how he looked at her, Su Ziling didn’t seem to be unattractive, which sparked his covetous desire.
Su Ziling dodged and stepped back, her eyes filled with anger.
Not in the slightest bit intimidated, the brocaded-robed cultivator became even more audacious, “Today, you won’t escape from the palm of my hand!”
As his words fell, a tremendous oppressive force suddenly enveloped him.
“Is that so?”
