Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“The Purple Light Pavilion is a famous store in Tianjing specializing in heavenly materials, earthly treasures, and mysterious artifacts and elixirs. If you don’t like the items in the treasury, shall we go and see what the shopkeeper from the Purple Light Pavilion has brought?’ Feng Tianlan asked for his opinion.
Since he didn’t have anything to do here, why not go and take a look?
Gu Xiaonan casually nodded.
The master and servants arrived in the front hall.
Sitting in the hall was a middle-aged man dressed in a brown gown embroidered with golden ingots.
Seeing Feng Tianlan enter , he immediately stood up respectfully to greet him.
“Please feel at ease, shopkeeper. No need to be polite.”
The shopkeeper secretly sneered, thinking that the prince had instructed him to entertain the esteemed guest properly, so he couldn’t be casual. However, he responded with a smile on the surface, agreeing without hesitation.
“Mr. Lan, your desire for unique treasures has led you to the perfect place. The Purple Light Pavilion stands as the most renowned store in Tianjing City, offering the finest selection of treasures. Today, I have brought three items for your perusal. Would you like to take a look?’
“Alright.”
The shopkeeper gestured for his attendant standing behind him to place a square metal box on the table.
He stood up and took out a small key, carefully unlocking the lock and lifting the lid.
In an instant, a scent of soil filled the air.
Gu Xiaonan blinked curiously, looking at the object inside the box. “What is this?”
It was a black lump, similar to the soil in his family’s medicinal field.
The shopkeeper smiled and said, “Young master, don’t underestimate this inconspicuous thing. It’s called Spirit Soil.”
“Spirit Soil?”
“Yes, Spirit Soil can be used to cultivate spirit herbs. Most spirit herbs can thrive in it, and they grow at an extremely fast pace. It may not be easy for you to appreciate it just by my words. How about we try it out right here?’
Seeing that everyone agreed, the shopkeeper took out two seeds from his sleeve and planted them in the soil.
Soon, the seeds sprouted and grew visibly fast, shooting out of the soil.
Before long, a knee-high Flamevine Grass appeared before them.
As the name suggested, the Flamevine Grass shimmered like flames.
Amidst the green grass leaves, there were blossoms resembling flames, emitting a radiant glow.
Gu Xiaonan widened his eyes, looking amazed.
The shopkeeper of the Purple Light Pavilion smiled and asked, “Young master, do you like it?”
“I love it!’ exclaimed Gu Xiaonan.
Observing this, Feng Tianlan said calmly, “I’ll take this item.”
He didn’t even inquire about the price.
The shopkeeper’s eyes lit up instantly. “Great! How about the next item?”
With permission granted, the shopkeeper set aside the golden box containing the Flamevine Grass and had his servant bring forward the second treasure.
The second item was an offensive-type mysterious tool, which Gu Xiaonan had little interest in.
However, the shopkeeper of the Purple Light Pavilion was undeterred. They still had their trump card—the Heavenly Heart Qin!
The Heavenly Heart Qin was extraordinary in every aspect, except for its hefty price tag of ten Xuanling Crystal Hearts.
One Xuanling Crystal Heart was equivalent to one thousand Xuanling Stones, or one million taels of gold!
Ten Xuanling Crystal Hearts amounted to ten million taels of gold!
It was so exorbitantly priced that it remained unsold for many years. Today, however, they encountered a customer who wasn’t short on money. They were determined to sell it, no matter what.
Of course, they couldn’t express it so bluntly.
The shopkeeper of the Purple Light Pavilion embellished the qualities of the Heavenly Heart Qin, speaking of its status as a treasured centerpiece that was never sold before. They made an exception this time due to the extraordinary status of the esteemed guest.
“Enough with the chit-chat. Show it to me,” Gu Xiaonan impatiently interrupted the shopkeeper’s boasting.
With a smile, the shopkeeper instructed someone to bring the Heavenly Heart Qin forward.
The box containing the Heavenly Heart Qin was approximately four feet long and two feet wide.
With slight trembling in his hands, the shopkeeper unlocked the box and slowly lifted the lid, taking a deep breath.
A radiant burst of light dazzled their eyes.
“It’s so beautiful!” Gu Xiaonan exclaimed, his eyes wide open and fixed on the qin inside the box.
The instrument, known as qin, resembled a zither, with a silver base that refracted colorful light under the illumination of starstone.
Gu Xiaonan had never seen such a beautiful qin before. His first thought was to buy it and give it to his mother as a gift.
Such a stunning instrument would surely make his mother very happy!
“I want this!” he exclaimed, casting a longing look at Feng Tianlan.
The previous items, like the Lingtu, didn’t evoke such excitement in him.
He hadn’t even considered taking them with him.
But this qin suited his taste perfectly. He wanted to buy it and give it to his mother.
However, such a fine instrument must surely be expensive, and he didn’t have that much money on him.
Since this man had taken on the role of a cheap father, wouldn’t it be appropriate for him to buy his son a gift?
His eyes sparkled as he pleaded, “Will you buy it for me?” “Do you really want it?” Feng Tianlan asked calmly. ‘Yes, yes! I really want it!” Gu Xiaonan replied eagerly.
Feng Tianlan said, “Jingfeng, pay for it..”
