Scum Of The Demonic Sect

Chapter 51 Becoming a VIP

"Young Miss, you haven't done business for about three months. The Pavilion Master ordered you to complete a transaction of no less than five thousand spirit stones every three months. That Qi Refining stage kid you successfully traded with last time is here again today. Why don't you go and see him?"

With the fourth layer of the Spirit Gathering Pearl's seal broken, Lin Haoming can obtain one mid-grade spirit stone per day. In just over two months, he has earned seven or eight thousand spirit stones again. So, before going to Red Leaf Mountain, he visited the Treasure Pavilion again.

Led by the same petite girl from last time, Lin Haoming arrived at the Kunjia room again.

Looking at this room he had visited before, Lin Haoming had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, after pushing open the door, he found the same icy beauty from last time sitting inside.

"Senior!" Lin Haoming greeted her with a forced smile, then sat down in the seat Qin Aorou had offered him last time.

"Hmm, what do you need today?" Qin Aorou asked coldly, showing none of the professionalism expected of a businesswoman.

"This junior came today to inquire whether you have any pills to nourish the divine sense, or cultivation techniques for cultivating the divine sense?" Lin Haoming asked.

"We naturally have pills to nourish the divine sense, but as for cultivation techniques for the divine sense, your cultivation level is too low. Cultivating them would be harmful to you, so they're useless to you!" Qin Aorou said frankly.

Lin Haoming was speechless. This icy beauty was just like last time; she seemed to have trouble even interacting with people, let alone doing business. Could it be that she was deliberately bullying him because he was only a Qi Refining stage outer disciple, using someone like him as a business partner?

Lin Haoming's thought turned out to be correct, though he never imagined it would actually be true.

"Senior, do you mean I can't improve my divine sense anymore?" Lin Haoming asked again.

He was seeking a method to improve his divine sense because he was desperate. His own divine sense was already beyond that of ordinary people, but according to the *Divine Bone Technique*, the higher the level of cultivation, the greater the requirements for divine sense. Only with a strong divine sense could one ensure that extreme pain during cultivation wouldn't lead to accidents. The old man with the Divine Bone Technique felt he started cultivating his divine sense too late, so he couldn't continue after reaching the seventh level.

Actually, Lin Haoming knew that there were no methods for cultivating divine sense during the Qi Refining stage, so hearing this was understandable.

He hadn't expected that Qin Aorou would reply so readily to his casual question, "Of course not. Actually, there are many things that can directly enhance a cultivator's spiritual sense, such as the Heaven-Reaching Pill and the Dao Embryo Fruit. Some can offer slight assistance, like the Nourishing Spirit Pill. With long-term consumption, it can significantly enhance spiritual sense over time!"

Hearing this, if Lin Haoming wasn't certain this woman was genuinely like this, he would have thought she was just teasing him. The Heaven-Reaching Pill and the Dao Embryo Fruit were legendary items; if he had one, he could easily reach the Foundation Establishment stage, let alone condense a Golden Core.

"Senior, could you please give me some Nourishing Spirit Pills?" Lin Haoming said helplessly. He knew about Nourishing Spirit Pills; they were pills that could nourish spiritual sense, but he'd heard they were very expensive, and even Foundation Establishment cultivators mostly couldn't afford them.

"One Nourishing Spirit Pill costs 350 spirit stones, three would cost 1000 spirit stones. How many do you want, fellow cultivator?" Qin Aorou asked.

Upon hearing this, Lin Haoming was speechless. This item was even more expensive than he'd imagined; no wonder he'd only heard of it but never seen it.

He only had a little over seven thousand spirit stones. Lin Haoming decided to pass. "I don't want the Nourishing Spirit Pills, give me some Bone Strengthening Pills instead."

"Bone Strengthening Pills?" Qin Aorou, upon hearing this, took out another jade slip and began searching right in front of Lin Haoming. After a while, she said, "Bone Strengthening Pills are thirty spirit stones each. How many do you want?"

"Give me thirty. Do you also have any talismans priced around seven thousand spirit stones?" Lin Haoming asked with a wry smile. He finally realized that this icy woman hadn't made any progress at all.

After Lin Haoming finished speaking, Qin Aorou didn't answer immediately. She took out another jade slip and began searching.

After a while, Qin Aorou finally put down the jade slip and said, "There are two more talismanic treasures, also costing seven thousand spirit stones. One is called the Demon-Slaying Sword, and the other is called the Mystic Crystal Bead."

"I wonder which one you think is better, Senior?" Lin Haoming asked humbly.

"Neither is very good, and both are talismanic treasures split into ten, so their power is limited!" Qin Aorou said directly, offering her opinion.

Lin Haoming inwardly cursed himself for being so talkative. Wasn't this a pointless question?

"I'll take the Mystic Crystal Bead!" Lin Haoming didn't have time to think further. In terms of price, it was probably similar to the Mountain-Splitting Axe, so there wasn't much difference between the two.

Just like last time, after exchanging money for goods, Lin Haoming took his items and immediately left.

As soon as Lin Haoming left, Elder Lu immediately returned to Qin Aorou, smiling broadly, and asked, "Miss, how was it?"

"Similar to last time, that person bought another talisman!" Qin Aorou remained as cold as ever towards this Golden Core cultivator at the Great Perfection stage.

"That kid certainly has quite a few spirit stones on him!" Elder Lu couldn't help but feel curious upon hearing this.

Since Lin Haoming's visit, Elder Lu had specially arranged for several Qi Refining stage cultivators to come to Qin Aorou. However, these cultivators were either short of money or didn't know how to trade with Qin Aorou, which had thoroughly annoyed Elder Lu. Now, thankfully, that kid had come again, at least he could report back to his superiors. He just hoped that the kid would come more often in the future.

Thinking of this, Elder Lu's mind stirred, and he immediately disappeared from Qin Aorou's side, appearing before the delicate young woman.

"Elder Lu... Elder Lu!" The young woman was very nervous upon seeing Elder Lu appear. "I remember your name is Jasmine, right?" Elder Lu asked.

"Yes, Elder Lu, your memory is excellent!" the girl replied timidly.

"Don't be afraid. Give this VIP jade token to that boy who went to the young lady earlier!" Elder Lu said.

"Ah! Isn't this VIP jade token only obtained by accumulating transactions exceeding one million spirit stones?" Jasmine asked, somewhat surprised.

"I know that, but if you encounter some outstanding juniors, you also have the right to give one! Don't ask any more questions, if you don't go now, they'll be leaving!" Elder Lu said.

"Yes!" Jasmine didn't hesitate and immediately took the jade token and left.

A quarter of an hour later, Lin Haoming walked out of the Treasure Pavilion, feeling puzzled himself.

He had come here to trade, so naturally he had inquired about the Treasure Pavilion's situation very thoroughly. He knew that only those who traded over one million spirit stones could obtain the VIP jade token, and that outstanding young talents would also be given it. He didn't seem to have any reputation in the sect, so why would they give him one? Could it be because he bought two talisman treasures?

Lin Haoming couldn't figure it out, but he still accepted the VIP jade token. Jubao Pavilion had an excellent reputation throughout the Chuyun Continent; they wouldn't try anything funny with a mere Qi Refining stage kid like him. It seemed they genuinely had their eye on his future; after all, how could an ordinary person buy two talisman treasures in such a short time?

With this, he could buy things at Jubao Pavilion at a 10% discount in the future, which was a good deal.
