Scum Of The Demonic Sect

Chapter 79 Big Sale

Lin Haoming was a little puzzled. Why was this girl so happy to see him? Judging from her appearance, she didn't seem interested in him.

"Junior Brother Lin, it seems you really are a regular at the Treasure Pavilion!" Jasmine's attitude towards Lin Haoming made Ling Shengjie's suspicions dissipate, and he even made a point of saying it.

"Of course!" Lin Haoming naturally nodded in acknowledgment.

Jasmine didn't care about Ling Shengjie, but just looked at Lin Haoming and asked with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Lin, how about we go upstairs?"

"Okay!" Lin Haoming agreed again, following Jasmine towards the stairs.

Upon reaching the stairwell, Lin Haoming and Jasmine went up, but Ling Shengjie was stopped by a Foundation Establishment cultivator who said, "Fellow Daoist, Qi Refining disciples are forbidden from going up there!"

Hearing this, Ling Shengjie was immediately annoyed and said, "I am the great-grandson of Patriarch Ling of the Blood Refining Sect! I've been to the upper floors, let alone the second floor!"

"Patriarch Ling? If you really came with your ancestor, you can naturally go up!" The Foundation Establishment cultivator simply said this, without any intention of letting him go up.

Seeing this, Lin Haoming was overjoyed, but worried that Jasmine might let them go out of respect for him. So, he deliberately turned his back to Ling Shengjie and winked at Jasmine, signaling her not to let Ling Shengjie go up.

Jasmine didn't know why Lin Haoming was doing this, but since the person Elder Lu had instructed had given such a signal, she deliberately said, "Fellow Daoist, this is the rule of our Treasure Pavilion. Please don't break it. This Fellow Daoist Lin was only allowed to go up because one of our seniors specified the transaction. You can wait downstairs for a while!"

Faced with this attitude from the people of the Treasure Pavilion, Ling Shengjie was annoyed, but he didn't dare to really lose his temper, at least not without the Ancestor's company.

Seeing that Ling Shengjie could also be at a disadvantage, Lin Haoming's suppressed mood eased somewhat. After exchanging a few more pleasantries with him, he went upstairs.

As they ascended the stairs, Lin Haoming held a mid-grade spirit stone in his hand, which he directly placed in Jasmine's hand, smiling as he said, "Thank you for your help earlier, Fairy. I didn't want anyone to know about this transaction, and that person's status in the sect is quite high. I'm so sorry, Fairy!"

Jasmine was somewhat surprised. The other party was merely a Qi Refining stage disciple, yet he had generously given her a mid-grade spirit stone as a reward. She had worked at the Treasure Pavilion for so long, and the total rewards she had received didn't amount to that much. She was momentarily embarrassed to accept it.

Seeing her reaction, Lin Haoming felt reassured and said, "Fairy, don't worry, just take it. I earned quite a bit participating in the sect's spirit stone mine competition this time!"

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lin. My name is Jasmine. Please don't call me 'Fairy,' just call me by my name. If you need anything in the future, please feel free to come to me!" Jasmine smiled as she accepted the spirit stone. She knew this was a considerable resource; if used on herself, it might even give her hope of reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.

Upon seeing Jasmine, Lin Haoming became exceptionally friendly, knowing his tip had worked. However, he also found himself following Jasmine to the Kunjia wing again.

This time, however, he found the room empty.

Just as Lin Haoming was wondering, Jasmine spoke first, "Fellow Daoist Lin, please rest a moment. Senior Qin will be here shortly!"

Hearing that it was indeed that woman again, Lin Haoming asked curiously, "Jasmine, who exactly is this Senior Qin? She doesn't seem like an ordinary person."

"I can't say for sure, but Fellow Daoist Lin, please be very polite to Senior Qin!" Jasmine said after thinking for a moment.

Hearing this, Lin Haoming understood somewhat. He nodded and sat down at the table, while Jasmine withdrew.

Not long after sitting down, with the sound of the door opening, Senior Qin appeared.

The two times he had seen this Senior Qin before, she had been seated. Watching her gracefully enter now, he felt a momentary illusion.

Qin Aorou's every step was so light, as if she were walking on clouds. Coupled with her ethereal, otherworldly beauty, she seemed like a fairy from a painting, stepping out of a masterpiece.

However, while a fairy in a painting is beautiful, she is not real, lacking the emotions and desires of a human. That was the impression Lin Haoming had of Senior Qin.

Sitting in the same spot she had occupied the previous two times, Qin Aorou glanced at the opened room's protective barrier and then said calmly, "Fellow Daoist Lin, what do you intend to buy this time?"

Her words were still devoid of any emotion; Lin Haoming had grown accustomed to them.

In fact, Lin Haoming did indeed have quite a few things he wanted to buy this time.

Having acquired so many storage bags and collected far too much stuff—far more than the Blood Refining Sect disciples could possibly consume in the short term—Lin Haoming decided early on to sell everything at a 30% discount.

While the Spirit Gathering Pearl could create spirit stones, yielding a staggering twelve mid-grade spirit stones daily, mid-grade and even high-grade waste spirit stones were far more difficult to obtain. Selling the useless items was therefore crucial.

Lin Haoming placed five storage bags on the table, saying, "Senior Qin, I'd like to sell these to the Treasure Pavilion at a discount."

Upon hearing this, Qin Aorou scanned Lin Haoming's five storage bags with her divine sense, her expression immediately stiffening.

Because Qin Aorou found the sheer quantity and variety of items this young man had brought out almost unbelievable.

Looking at all these things, she took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and after a long while, finally spoke, "All these things were given to you by Elder Lu, weren't they?"

Suddenly hearing this unexpected question, Lin Haoming was stunned for a moment before scratching his head in confusion, "Who is Elder Lu?"

Qin Aorou looked at Lin Haoming's expression, her face showing a different expression for the first time in front of him.

At this moment, she showed a hint of surprise and asked, "Not from Elder Lu?"

"These were snatched from others during the sect's spirit stone mine competition. Of course, I heard that the Treasure Pavilion doesn't easily leak information about traders!" Lin Haoming said truthfully.

"Of course, I misunderstood you before. I'm sorry. It's just that you have too many things; it might take me a long time to collect them all!" Qin Aorou seemed to believe Lin Haoming's words and made a special apology, but still without any emotion.

"That's alright!" Lin Haoming said without any concern.

In fact, Qin Aorou didn't care about Lin Haoming's attitude. At this moment, she had already taken out several jade slips and began her work. Lin Haoming didn't urge her, but simply watched her meticulously pricing the items in her storage bag.

Observing Senior Qin's focused expression, Lin Haoming suddenly realized that this woman possessed an indescribable beauty when she was engrossed in her work.

Her already exquisitely beautiful face shone even brighter when she was focused, her eyes sparkling with brilliance. She transformed from a fairy in a painting into a real-life goddess, even possessing a captivating allure.
