After Favorability Is Maxed

Chapter 123: ‘Supreme Starshift’, Xiahou Cenyi

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Liu Yuan stepped into the branch of the Sky Treasure Pavilion in the City of Ten Thousand Swords. The first thing he saw was a dazzling array of treasures.

As expected of the Immortal cultivation sect’s eBay, it was much more impactful than the game.

This sect just made people want to chop off their hands to stop themselves from overspending.

“May I ask if you want to exchange, appraise, or exchange items for spirit stones?” The receptionist at Sky Treasure Pavilion was a woman who looked to be in her twenties. She had a kind smile on her face.

“I’ll exchange stuff for spirit stones,” Liu Yuan simply said, “You can’t make the decision. Please ask Elder Zhang Qishan.

He took out a paperweight from his sleeve that was carved into a Xuanwu.

The most worthless things that came from the Xuanwu Secret Treasure were probably the decorations inside.

He wanted to use this item to explain where the item he wanted to exchange came from. Elder Zhang Qishan was one of the tools that had conquered, with max favorability.

The maidservant was stunned at first because the person in front of her was young and was obviously a wandering cultivator.

She had thought that it was probably another person who had rushed over to watch the Tideviewing and Sword-listening event. However, he had run out of money and wanted to exchange some of his belongings for money.

However, Liu Yuan seemed to be very familiar with the exchange process of the Sky Treasure Pavilion. He even called out the name of the branch elder, so she knew that it might not be the case.

“Please wait a moment,” the maidservant said respectfully. Then, she took the paperweight and left in a hurry.

On the other hand, some of the Immortal cultivators who were also watching and choosing only saw that there was no paperweight in Liu Yuan’s hands that could be described as ugly, and that it had become a little rough and ugly due to the passage of time.

All of them had curious or strange expressions on their faces.

Li Huaian was close by and could see it clearly. It was just an ordinary paperweight. It had been old for a long time and was no different from a brick. He wondered where this poor fellow came from to dare to come up with such a paperweight to invite an elder.

Perhaps it was because the maidservant was good-looking that he wanted to tease her…

However, the price to pay was too great.

He was also an itinerant cultivator, but he did not have the guts to take liberties with the maidservant. He only dared to watch from here.

A few years ago, there was a man who held his sword in the Sky Treasure Pavilion and said that he had obtained it from some powerful secret treasure. In the end, his leg was broken on the spot.

This was going to be interesting.

Li Huaian gloated as he looked at the fellow who was still minding his own business and waiting here. He was afraid that he did not know that the maid was going to call the guards to kick him out.

Liu Yuan stood on the spot and looked around. The relevant information about the Sky Treasure Pavilion flashed through his mind.

[Take in all the heavenly treasures.]

It was one of the three pavilions of the Central Plains, the Sky Treasure Pavilion.

The three pavilions referred to the Sword Pavilion, the Sky Treasure Pavilion, and the Taiqing Pavilion.

The Sword Pavilion was a well-known sect in the five regions and eight seas. Most of its members were swordsmiths.

Otherwise, the Singing Sword Meet, which was prepared for young Immortal cultivators, would not have attracted so many new generations of various sects to come from thousands of miles away.

To a certain extent, this showed the reputation and prestige of the Sword Pavilion.

Naturally, Taiqing Pavilion needed no introduction. As one of the two great Daoist sects, they would naturally know as long as they reported their names.

After all, the Taiqing Pavilion did not only represent the pavilion, but also the power, connections, and strength accumulated by countless high-level Immortal cultivators.

It was the same for the Jade Mirage Sect.

For example, Ling Yu’s cultivation level was not high. Because she had been traveling all year round, she was not famous.

However, because she was officially wearing the Daoist robe of a true disciple of the Jade Mirage Sect, people automatically made way for her when she went to register at the Signing Sword Platform.

This was also the reason why many people desired to enter a large sect.

In the Central Plains of Shangyang, the more top sects were, the less competitive they were. Because of the vast resources and the strong foundation of the predecessors, it was not difficult to practice any Immortal method, and there were no obstacles.

However, it was one thing to be able to learn it, and another thing to be able to actually comprehend it.

There were all kinds of small tests and big competitions every year. Once they fell behind, they would be greeted with fear and uneasiness.

It would even be embarrassing if he could not defeat the disciples of other sects when he was outside.

Therefore, the disciples of the big sects faced even greater pressure.

On the other hand, it was also a form of survival of the fittest. However, compared to the small and medium-sized sects and demonic sects, it was a virtuous cycle.

However, the threshold to enter was even higher. The disciples who could join were basically the best in ordinary sects.

If one had to make an analogy, it would be like the modern Advanced Academy. You may have entered it, but it did not mean that you had succeeded. A more outstanding person would have to face an even more outstanding enemy. One might even have to put in more effort than the average person in order to obtain more.

The Sky Treasure Pavilion was similar to the Sword Pavilion to a certain extent.

The Sword Pavilion was a sect of swordsmiths, and forging swords was their inherent skill. Thus, they had accumulated a lot of sword-type weapons within the sect.

It was also possible to hold a sword-type weapon exhibition.

As the name suggested, the Sky Treasure Pavilion was a sect that collected all kinds of natural treasures.

Their basic cultivation technique, Object Receiving Technique, was to collect these treasures and use their natural Bell Spirit Qi to cultivate Immortality.

The Bell Spirit Qi was not spiritual Qi, but a mysterious aura that naturally settled after these treasures absorbed the essence of the sun and moon and underwent the baptism of time.

Immortal cultivators could also exchange items for money in the branches set up by the sect. Of course, the Sky Treasure Pavilion would also regularly take out the treasures that had been eliminated from the sect and hold auctions.

It was called the Heavenly Treasures Meeting.

However, even though it was said to have been eliminated, to the Sky Treasure Pavilion, it might be a piece of trash. To ordinary immortal cultivators, it was still a treasure that was in good condition.

Losing the Bell Spirit Qi did not mean losing spiritual energy.

Other cultivators could also use it, but it was said that the effect would be reduced by 10 to 20 percent, but it was not a big deal.

Once the Heavenly Treasures Meeting was held, cultivators would flock to it, especially the itinerant cultivators who lacked resources.

Liu Yuan had always felt that the Pavilion Masters of this force were all collectors.

Especially the First Pavilion Master, who was able to come up with the method of cultivating by gathering items. He was simply a talent.

Speaking of which, his ‘Sword in the Scabbard — Evil Heart of Killing’ was still hanging in the main pavilion of the Sky Treasure Pavilion.

He definitely had to go to the main pavilion of Sky Treasure Pavilion. He just had to go down the main stream of the White Dragon River for 3,000 miles and he would be able to pass by it.

However, the problem was that Sky Treasure Pavilion’s Grand Elder… ‘Supreme Starshift’, Xiahou Cenyi was also one of his conquered targets.

Speaking of this Xiahou Cenyi, one had to mention the current Pavilion Master of the Sky Treasure Pavilion, Xiahou Su.

From their surnames, it could be seen that the two were relatives.

In fact, in terms of seniority, Xiahou Cenyi was Xiahou Su’s great-aunt, an old monster of unknown age. At least, she was on the same level as Xie Qian.

Xiahou Su was headstrong, but he would definitely obey the words of his great aunt, who had raised him, and would not dare to disobey.

“Xiahou Cenyi should still be in closed-door cultivation. She hasn’t come out of the Shang Shi Secret Realm discovered by the Sky Treasure Pavilion. That plot will take some time, but I don’t know if she will come out early…”
