Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Eight The Hundred Treasure Flying Pavilion (2/2)

They didn’t need to put on any airs. Those fourth and fifth-grade ling plants were just planted there. If the customers that came in did not have full purses, they would have to be careful when they lifted their feet in fears of stepping on a plant. They couldn’t afford to pay the price.

A place like the Hundred Treasure Flying Pavilion never had to worry it would be too crowded. When Zuo Mo arrived, there was only one guest inside.

The person that received Zuo Mo was a storekeeper wearing a gold-embroidered black robe. His eyes were very keen. When he saw Zuo Mo, he enthusiastically came over, “Hey, isn’t this Mister Zuo? Such an honor to have you as a customer! Mister Zuo, your match really helped us Dong Fu gain some honor! That was a good fight. Tsk tsk, three chain, I was really shocked when I saw it. Receiving you today, it is this one’s good fortune!”

The storekeeper’s voice was warm but not fawning. His words touched Zuo Mo’s pride but didn’t exaggerate. Even the volume was controlled at an appropriate level, and wouldn’t disturb the customer that was browsing through the talismans not far away. What shocked Zuo Mo even more was that this friendly-looking storekeeper was a ningmai!

At this time, Zuo Mo couldn’t help but look at the other shopkeeper. As expected, also in ningmai! There wasn’t just the two shopkeepers. There were two more shopkeepers waiting by the side, also ningmai cultivation.

Ningmai cultivators used asshopkeepers, this was enough to shock Zuo Mo!

He thought about the matches going on below, the ningmai xiuzhe fighting back and forth, extremely grand. Yet on the Hundred Treasure Flying Pavilion, the same ningmai level xiuzhe were only shopkeepers.

He wondered who was the owner of the Hundred Treasure Flying Pavilion. The other must have a very big background.

There was one benefit to Zuo Mo’s zombie face. No matter what he was thinking inside, it would never show on the surface.

“I came to see if there was something suited for me.” Due to the other’s cultivation, Zuo Mo was also very polite.

“Oh, then look around. If you see something you like, this one can explain more.” The shopkeeper smiled as he said. He was not too warm but not cold.

With just a look, Zuo Mo’s eyes blurred.

Right now, he did own many good things, but other than the jade scroll at his waist that could barely be put in the Hundred Treasure Flying Pavilion, none of the other things were comparable. These were all good things! Good things! Zuo Mo swallowed continuously, his eyes lit up, wanting to sweep all the talismans on the shelves into his purse. However, when he saw the prices marked on the items, it was like a bucket of cold water was poured over his head.

“This flying sword uses the Deep Ocean Water Soul Crystals from ten thousand miles under the surface. Each Water Soul Crystal is above fourth-grade and was made by a famous master. This flying sword is made from seven swords and can be arranged in many ways. The [Big Dipper] on the body of the swords can easily set the swords to become the Big Dipper Sword Formation. If it is in the hands of those who are skilled in formations such as you, Mister Zuo, it would become even more powerful!”

Zuo Mo looked at the price, Six hundred pieces of fourth-grade jingshi. His little heart trembled and he hurriedly looked at another item.

“This is a Sky Cotton Woven Robe. It is woven out of sixteen thousand strands of complete Ice Sky Silk. The Ice Sky Silk is extremely strong and hard to break with a flying sword, and it can automatically absorb ling energy from the surroundings. There are seven formations on there, each with different effects, all of them useful. Also, this Sky Cotton Woven Robe is extremely strong in defense. We have done specialized testing… …”

Price, five hundred pieces of fourth-grade jingshi! Zuo Mo left without raising his head.

Zuo Mo walked around the different shelves as he scanned through superficially. Each talisman was so good, but the price of each talisman made him feel hopeless. By the end, he was completely numb, and just looked at the price first.

The shopkeeper did not hurry him and was not impatient. He showed extreme professionalism.

Zuo Mo suddenly saw an item priced at one hundred pieces of fourth-grade jingshi. He couldn’t help but stop in his stride.

A ring that was like a circle of metal laid there silently.

Noticing Zuo Mo’s gaze, the shopkeeper introduced dutifully, “This dimensional ring is half a failure. The forger had originally wanted to forge a fourth-grade dimensional ring but failed in the end. This dimensional ring is slightly bigger than normal third-grade dimensional rings, but it is smaller than fourth-grade dimensional rings. Because the owner is familiar with the forger, this dimensional ring was placed to sell here.”

Dimensional ring!

Glee rushed out of Zuo Mo’s heart! He hadn’t thought that the Hundred Treasures Flying Pavilion would sell dimensional rings!

The so-called dimensional rings were storage talismans. The hundred treasure pouch at his waist was a similar talisman that could store and transport items. However, the dimensional ring was a higher level storage talisman than the hundred treasure pouch. It wasn’t just that it could contain more items, but the items stored would not increase the weight. That was where it was much better than a hundred treasure pouch. However, it was much harder to make a dimensional ring than a hundred treasure pouch. It was hard to find one on the market and the price never dropped. If it wasn’t for his unexpected windfall, Zuo Mo didn’t know how long it would take before he could afford a dimensional ring.

The dimensional ring was an extremely useful talisman. Zuo Mo almost didn’t need to think and took out the jingshi, “I’ll buy it!”

Translator Ramblings: Isn’t Zuo Mo lucky? Well, he doesn’t think so. His plans of bankrupting himself was ruined and he’s being thrown off the deep end.

One of the staples of a Chinese fantasy novel shows up, the dimensional ring! Zuo Mo is relatively rich but not rich enough to sweep the high-end shops.

Thanks for all your comments!

As accurate as I can remember, the conversion for jingshi is:

1o first-grade = 1 second-grade

100 second-grade = 1 third-grade

500 third grade = 1 fourth-grade
