Chapter 84

"Who could possibly warrant Zuo Wanjin, the proprietor of Fengxianlou, to greet him in person?"

"But that girl by his side, she's simply enchanting, like a celestial being!"

These were the murmurs of the new diners.

Many had heard of Luo Chuan's exploits from the previous day.

However, most didn't recognize Luo Chuan and Yao Ziyan as the central figures of the rumors.

"Heh, daring to have designs on that girl, you must not value your life!" someone scoffed.

"Why do you say that?" Find the latest novels on novelbin.com

"Yesterday, because of that, the Second Prince was banished to Nanjiang. Do you think your status is more prestigious than his?"

As soon as this was said, the room fell silent, the proverbial pin drop echoing.

At that moment, they recalled a rumor that had spread like wildfire throughout Jiuyao City today!

"The girl with purple hair and purple eyes, the mysterious powerhouse who made the Heavenly Star Emperor bow, could it be them?!"

"It seems so. I didn't expect this elder to grace us with their presence again..."

Countless eyes were fixed on the room Luo Chuan had entered, flickering with curiosity.

Some cultivators contemplated whether they should try to curry favor.

After some time passed without seeing Luo Chuan and Yao Ziyan emerge, confusion gripped them.

Someone brazenly pushed open the door, only to find the two had long vanished...

After their meal at Fengxianlou, Luo Chuan and Yao Ziyan tore through space and returned to Origin Mall.

Now, Luo Chuan was becoming more proficient in tearing space instead of walking...

Of course, not all cultivators were capable of traversing space solely with their bodies.

The Questioning Realm could barely withstand the various spatial turbulence and rifts, avoiding the risk of getting lost in the endless expanse of space.

Only those at the Venerable Realm could freely move through the spatial channels.

However, no venerable individual would idly tear apart space instead of walking...

Back in the shop, with no customers around, they both entered the Tower of Trial.

Without system tasks, Luo Chuan was content.

Why bother with advertisements when one could peacefully play games in the store every day?

At the same time, Luo Chuan looked forward to the so-called Arena Mode.

A fair duel between various cultivators, without the fear of injury, was an exhilarating thought...

Upon returning to the imperial city, Mr. Bai paid Ji Wuhui a visit for the first time.

Initially, Ji Wuhui felt somewhat anxious.

Old Bai had been absent all morning, leading Ji Wuhui to worry that the esteemed elder might be displeased with something he had done.

Could he be here to voice his grievances in person? Ji Wuhui couldn't help but wonder.

Ji Wuhui had long harbored no familial affection for Ji Tianhao after the events of the previous night.

The emperor had no kin!

After last night's events, Ji Wuhui had severed all ties with Ji Tianhao.

Now that Mr. Bai had returned safely, Ji Wuhui breathed a sigh of relief.

"Old Bai, how did it go?" Ji Wuhui inquired.

A smile graced Mr. Bai's face. "Life remains unblemished."

Ji Wuhui heaved another sigh of relief. "That's good..."

Having known Lao Bai for decades, Ji Wuhui could easily discern the elder's mood.

"Lao Bai, you seem quite pleased?" Ji Wuhui asked with a smile. "Could something good have happened? Care to share?"

"I purchased an item that can restore vitality from the boss's shop."

With that, Elder Bai produced Qiongyelu and cradled it carefully in his palm.

"Vitality restoration? That enigmatic powerhouse actually possesses such an item?!"

Gazing at Qiongyelu, Ji Wuhui couldn't contain his excitement.

Such an item was truly a rarity!

"In that case, I must congratulate Bai Lao," Ji Wuhui said with a smile. "It seems a breakthrough to the Ninth Grade is within reach."

After regaining his composure, Ji Wuhui inquired, "Lao Bai, I fear this jelly lotion might have been quite expensive?"

At this, Mr. Bai's expression turned somewhat peculiar.

Puzzled, Ji Wuhui pressed on, "What's the matter? Old Bai, please do share."

"Your Majesty might be surprised," Lao Bai shook his head, "Qiongyelu, like all other items sold by the boss, has a fixed price."

Under Ji Wuhui's curious gaze, Mr. Bai revealed a price that left him dumbfounded.

"One hundred thousand spirit crystals."
