805 A Pity Its Not You! (1/2)

That person was Wang Baole's old acquaintance… Xie Haiyang!

The mysterious man who claimed that he was a businessman in the Ethereal Dao College, Xie Haiyang, then later disappeared. He reunited with Wang Baole in the Vast Expanse Dao Palace and then disappeared again after that…

That was, until now. When Wang Baole saw Xie Haiyang at this place, although he was shocked, he discovered that he didn't feel that surprised. It was as though he subconsciously thought that he would meet Xie Haiyang at any point in time.

I'm afraid… this person has an even larger background than I previously guessed. Wang Baole was deep in thought. On the one hand, he thought of the game that Xie Haiyang popularized in the Vast Expanse Dao Palace. Now that he remembered it, whether it was his feelings then or now, he felt that the supposed wandering star was obviously a… colony!

Wang Baole pondered in his heart and remained cautious, but he didn't show it on the surface. He only turned his head to take a sweeping glance before turning around. But with that sweeping glance, other than identifying Xie Haiyang, he also got a clear look at the Divine Armaments and Dharmic treasures on Xie Haiyang's body.

He wore a Divine Armament that was made in the shape of a face cloth on his head, had nomological robes on his body, and his paper fan contained the suppressive force of an Eternal Star realm cultivator. Any of those Dharmic Artifacts would be enough to make everyone green with envy and wish to snatch it. But if they all appeared together on the body of one person, such greed would be mostly suppressed.

Because… someone who owned all three items at once obviously had an extraordinary status and position. It also meant that the person definitely had a horrifying background that could shake the heavens. Hence, he could wear all three items on his body so freely.

Those three items made Wang Baole more sure of his previous judgment. But he had no intention of recognizing Xie Haiyang. Wang Baole felt that it was best for him to avoid such a mysterious character.

At the same time, he was now disguised as Long Nanzi, so he wasn't scared of being found out. As for Little Wu and the donkey, they were within the Dharmic Battleship that had already been stored away by Wang Baole. So now, he could make use of this opportunity to indirectly understand Xie Haiyang's background.

For example, this shop, which could be considered the largest shop with the most comprehensive collection of items in this place, was obviously owned by Xie Haiyang. If not, the salesman opposite him couldn't possibly call him Young Master so courteously.

Maybe because Wang Baole's acting skills were indeed superb, coupled with the uniqueness of his essence technique, but Xie Haiyang only took a cursory glance after entering the shop before he headed for the stairs leading to the second floor. On the way there, all the other salesmen greeted him. In fact, many customers there also bowed slightly towards him as a sign of respect.

This scene made Wang Baole's heart skip a beat. He deliberated on whether to leave that place after a while and go to other shops to ask tacitly and indirectly learn about the background of this shop.

While Wang Baole was pondering, Xie Haiyang had already gone up the stairs. However, just as his silhouette was about to disappear, right before he stepped onto the second floor, he stopped for a moment unnoticeably. He then continued walking, stepping onto the second floor afterward.

As there were obstacles involved, and since the place didn't allow one to spread their consciousness to check, Wang Baole didn't notice Xie Haiyang's action. But from the slight pause in his footsteps, Wang Baole still felt that something was amiss. Therefore, he didn't stay for long. After choosing all of the items that caught his fancy, he picked out a portion from them and looked at how much he had. He tolerated the pain of spending and purchased them.

But when he was checking out, the salesman looked thoroughly at Wang Baole's receipt, raised his head, swept his gaze towards Wang Baole, and spoke while shaking his head.

”Fellow Daoist, there are many materials among the items you chose that our shop won't sell to any old customer. You need to spend a certain amount at our shop first before we can provide them to you according to their level.”

Wang Baole was stunned. After inquiring, his expression turned sour. Out of the materials he chose, most of them were like this. If he was unable to purchase them, he might as well not buy anything.

That was especially so considering that there were three types of materials that he couldn't find previously in other shops. If he couldn't buy them here, then he didn't know when he would get a chance to buy them again.

So the salesman's reply made him unwittingly furrow his eyebrows.

”How about this, our young master returned just now. Wait for me, Fellow Daoist, I'll go up and communicate with him. Our young master loves making friends and is very easy going. I believe he'll agree to sell those items to you.” Obviously, the salesman could get a commission from Wang Baole's purchases. That was especially so considering that Wang Baole's order was decently large. So after thinking, he got Wang Baole to wait there while he turned around and went up to the second floor.

Wang Baole didn't prevent the salesman from doing so. Instead, he stood there with narrowed eyes and waited silently, hoping to see how things would develop afterward. It would be best if things turned out successfully. If not, he would have to think carefully about how to handle the situation.

Not much time passed, only around 100 breath's of time, before the salesman came down from the second floor smiling and spoke after reaching Wang Baole's side.
