Capítulo 1420: Chapter 1294: Saint Heir of the Treasure Pavilion
Anyone who can do business in Fire Spirit City, a holy city in the minds of cultivators, even if they are ordinary people, must have a deep background, otherwise it’s impossible to survive here.
Even a seemingly insignificant beggar on the street might have a surprising origin, so everyone in the holy city must act cautiously.
But Bai Yan Wolf doesn’t care about these things. He directly stole two at buns and ate them while running. In the blink of an eye, both buns were gone.
Thankfully, Bai Yan Wolf didn’t sell out Ye Fan. He darted east and west among the crowd, quickly leaving the knife-wielding man far behind.
Ye Fan and the others walked closer and saw a big sign outside a small storefront with five flamboyant characters: “World’s Best Dragon at Bun.”
“Whoa! That’s quite the claim! Looks like none of us have eaten yet; let’s go taste what these world’s best dragon at buns are all about,” Shen Xin said with great interest, stepping into the bun shop.
“In all my years, I’ve never had dragon at. Ti to try sothing exotic!” Shen Tu said, shaking his head and following inside.
The other three contestants from other sects or clans also went inside. The group, eight in total, picked two tables and sat down.
“Shopkeeper, how much are these world’s best dragon at buns?” Shen Xin waved to call the shopkeeper over and asked with a smile.
“Five copper coins each! How many would you like?”
The burly-faced shopkeeper, who hadn’t caught Bai Yan Wolf, returned disappointed but put on a respectful smile upon seeing big business co in.
“What? Did I hear wrong? Dragon at is an extrely rare thing; how can it be just five copper coins? It’s so cheap!” Shen Xin rubbed his ears in disbelief.
“Hehehe…”
The shopkeeper chuckled and explained, “You might not know, but this isn’t real dragon at. Besides, not just my small shop, even the Emperor Clan can’t produce real dragon at. It’s good enough to have serpent at!”
“Then what is this…”
Zhang Taiyi pointed at the big sign outside and asked.
“It’s just puffing up one’s importance!”
The shopkeeper explained, “Although my small shop doesn’t have real dragon at, it does have real donkey at. Isn’t there a saying, ‘Dragon at in the sky, donkey at on the ground’? My shop actually sells donkey at buns, but donkey doesn’t sound appealing, so I changed it to dragon at!”
So that’s how it is!
Everyone felt relieved and admired the shopkeeper’s ingenuity for coming up with such an idea, no wonder business was booming!
“Alright then, let’s taste your so-called world’s best dragon at buns. If they’re truly delicious, we’ll spread your na. Serve them up, and stop only when we say we’re done.”
Shen Xin motioned generously for the shopkeeper to serve the buns, indicating that if Bai Yan Wolf found them worth his interest, they must have a unique charm.
Although they hadn’t been with Bai Yan Wolf for long, Shen Xin highly trusted Bai Yan Wolf’s taste; this fellow had picky taste, and ordinary good stuff couldn’t catch his eye.
“Damn it, you went in to eat buns without inviting !”
From among the crowd outside, Bai Yan Wolf ground his teeth silently, very annoyed that Shen Xin and the others seed to have forgotten him.
Soon, a smart kid about twelve or thirteen years old ca over carrying two big trays. Each tray held a heap of buns piled high like a small hill, glistening with oil and golden, looking spectacularly appetizing.
“Let try one first!”
Shen Xin, looking like a gourt seeing fine food, grabbed one, took a big bite, chewed twice, then his eyes lit up and he praised repeatedly, “Not bad, not bad, fatty but not greasy, the flavor is great!”
Hearing him say that, the others couldn’t resist anymore. They all grabbed chopsticks and joined the bun-eating frenzy.
Perhaps it was because everyone was truly hungry, or maybe because the buns from this shop genuinely tasted exquisite, but soon the group devoured an entire tray like a whirlwind.
In the end, after finishing three trays, they were finally full, and the shop assistant appropriately brought over a big teapot, pouring everyone a cup of clear tea.
After eating such greasy food, a cup of clear tea to reduce heat, fire, and moisten the lungs was wonderful!
When leaving the bun shop, Ye Fan specially packed forty or fifty buns to give to Bai Yan Wolf, knowing he must be furious watching them go into the bun shop while he could only drool outside.
Crossing several streets, the group arrived at the palace floating in the air, and imdiately soone ca out to greet them and took them inside the palace.
This was an incredibly grand aerial palace, with carved beams and painted pillars, dazzling and splendid, exuding a mystical aura. Only a grand entity with enormous power and financial resources like the Treasure Pavilion could own such an aerial palace.
“You’ve finally arrived!”
As soon as they stepped into the palace, a familiar voice reached Ye Fan’s ears, and upon closer look, it was indeed Yaling, the head of the Xuanwu City branch of the Treasure Pavilion.
At this mont, Yaling was wearing an elegant long dress, her waterfall-like black hair styled into a bun with a wooden hairpin inserted across it, giving her an ethereal, immortal-like appearance.
“Oh! Isn’t this Miss Yaling? Long ti no see, Miss Yaling is becoming more and more like an immortal!”
Shen Xin greeted her with a smile. He and Yaling were old friends, so he spoke very casually.
“Fatty Shen, you’ve gotten fatter!”
Yaling subtly used a movent technique to avoid Shen Xin and said with a smile, “There are six days left until the competition starts. If you don’t mind, please stay here! The Treasure Pavilion may not be wealthy, but we can certainly host you for a few days.”
“That’s great! If I couldn’t eat and drink for free here, I wouldn’t bother making this trip!” Shen Xin imdiately agreed.
The three people from other Sects and clans were more than happy to stay here. It saved money and allowed them to establish connections with a powerful force like the Treasure Pavilion; they certainly wouldn’t refuse.
“And who might these gentlen be…?”
At that mont, a tall young man walked in from outside the main hall. He had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, exceptionally handso, enveloped in a faint glow of Holy Light, like a divine figure walking amongst mortals!
Seeing Ye Fan and the others, the young man asked Miss Yaling with a puzzled expression.
“Changgeng, you’re here. Let introduce you!”
Seeing the newcor, a gleam flashed in Yaling’s eyes, and she then smiled and said to Ye Fan and the others, “This is Jin Changgeng, the Saint Heir of our Treasure Pavilion. He will also participate in this competition.”
Upon hearing that this person was the Saint Heir of the Treasure Pavilion, everyone couldn’t help but be moved, Ye Fan included. Jin Changgeng gave him a very special, indescribable feeling.
In any case, this Saint Heir was extraordinary and must have exceptional abilities; otherwise, he couldn’t have stood out among the many disciples of a vast force like the Treasure Pavilion and beco a Saint Heir.
Every Saint Heir is one of the most outstanding disciples of the younger generation in powerful forces like the Holy Land and the Wu Shang Sect. They must not only be strong in power but also possess extraordinary luck and comprehension.
“These two are the Supre Elder of the Xuanwu Sect, Elder Wang Qingshan, and Fatty Shen, whom you’ve t before, so there’s no need for further introduction!”
Before Yaling’s voice faded, Shen Xin cut in discontentedly, “Yaling, you little girl, this is discrimination, severe discrimination! Why is he, Wang Qingshan, called ‘Elder’, and I am just ‘Fatty’?”
“Because you’re indeed a fatty!”
Yaling smiled mischievously, completely ignoring the hopping-mad Shen Xin, and then proceeded to introduce Ye Fan and the others to Jin Changgeng.
“So you are Ye Fan?”
Upon hearing the na Ye Fan, Jin Changgeng’s eyes imdiately lit up and he stared at Ye Fan intently, questioning him.
“That’s right!”
Ye Fan calmly t his gaze, his eyes clear as water and deep as a well.
“Are you the Ye Fan who stirred up endless waves in Qing Province?” Jin Changgeng continued to ask.
“Not really. I just had to do what was necessary to survive!”
Ye Fan still didn’t know that his actions in Qing Province had already made him famous throughout the Southern Domain.
“So it is you!”
Jin Changgeng laughed heartily, “Well done, the Qing Family flaunted their connection with the Emperor Clan Ling Family as if they were invincible. I’ve long wanted to teach them a lesson, but I didn’t expect you to step in for .”
“They wanted to kill , so for self-preservation, I had to let those who wanted dead et their end first!” Ye Fan said.
“Domineering, truly domineering, I like it!”
Jin Changgeng nodded and said to Ye Fan, “It’s too late today, so have a good rest first. Tomorrow I’ll host you and introduce you to a few people.”
“Then I’ll be in your debt!”
Ye Fan’s heart was stirred; those valued by a Saint Heir like Jin Changgeng must have at least comparable status, likely other Saint Heirs.
In the Thunder Venerable master’s tomb, Ye Fan had a brief encounter with the Ancient Saint and the Tianxuan Saint, but they were eting for the first ti. At that ti, Ye Fan’s strength, aside from being attributed to good luck, was far from being recognized by them!
