Tianya City.
Within the majestic Tianya Pavilion, the yellow-robed elder followed closely behind Liu Xi as they stepped inside. He barked an order toward the elegant maid at the counter.
"Don't just stand there like a fool! Honored guests have arrived—go invite the Second Elder at once!"
The maid froze momentarily before quickly regaining her composure. Bowing slightly, she turned and hurried toward the staircase.
"No need, I'll come down myself."
An aged yet dignified voice echoed from above. A moment later, an elderly man clad in a blue robe descended the stairs, his white hair and beard gleaming faintly beneath the lantern light. Passing the maid, he approached Liu Xi and the others with a calm smile.
"Second Elder…" The yellow-robed elder bowed deeply.
"That's enough, you may leave."
The blue-robed elder waved him away before turning toward Xiao Yixian with a friendly smile. "I am Luo Jia, Second Elder of the Luo Family, currently managing this Tianya Pavilion. May I ask if the esteemed guests have come to purchase a Space Boat?"
He couldn't afford to be careless. From his perception, both Liu Xi and Zi Yan radiated powerful Dou Huang auras, and Xiao Yixian's presence was deep and unfathomable—calm like a vast sea, yet impossible to gauge. 'A Dou Zong at least,' he thought, inwardly startled.
Xiao Yixian did not respond. Instead, her gaze drifted toward Liu Xi.
Liu Xi spoke calmly, "That's right. Give us the details."
Luo Jia's eyes brightened instantly. 'A big customer!' Every Space Boat was worth millions of gold coins—this was a sale he couldn't miss. He began enthusiastically,
"Space Boats are crafted only by the great forces of the Central Plains. For my Luo Family to obtain them was no easy task."
"They are divided into nine Tiers—9th Tier being the highest, 1st Tier the lowest. Our Tianya Pavilion only sells 1st Tier through 4th Tier. The higher the Tier, the faster the speed through the Wormhole, and the better the resistance to spatial turbulence, ensuring a safer journey—"
Liu Xi interrupted him with a faint smirk. "That's enough, Second Elder. I'll take a 4th Tier Space Boat. Just name your price."
Luo Jia's heart leapt with excitement. 'A 4h Tier sale! We barely sell a few of these in a year!' He forced an expression of hesitation before replying, "Ordinarily, a 4th Tier Space Boat sells for six million gold coins, but since three honored guests have graced us today, I'll make an exception—only four million nine hundred eighty thousand. Take the treasure ship home!"
"Fine."
Liu Xi nodded. Back in the Jia Ma Empire, he had refined countless pills—even at friendship prices, his accumulated wealth was immense. His gaze swept over the shelves lined with crystal cases. "I'll take it. Bring me the ship."
"Haha, splendid choice! The vessels on display are only low-tier models. The true 4th Tier is right here—please, take a look!"
Luo Jia, barely concealing his delight, took out a palm-sized wooden model from his Storage Ring. Though small, its craftsmanship was exquisite, far superior to the crude ones around it.
Liu Xi received the model and examined it carefully. Faint silver light flickered across its surface—it indeed contained a trace of spatial power.
With a flick of his wrist, he retrieved a purple-gold card and handed it over casually. "No password. Swipe as you please."
Luo Jia accepted it solemnly. The maid beside him stepped forward with a crystal terminal. After a few swift operations, she slid the card through, her eyes widening slightly as she saw the transfer complete. Luo Jia's smile deepened.
Returning the card respectfully, he asked curiously, "Sir, if I may—what is a password?"
"Ah, nothing important." Liu Xi waved it off. "By the way, does this ship come with a manual? Or perhaps some after-sales service—returns, exchanges, repairs?"
Luo Jia blinked, bewildered. "Er… I'm not sure I understand."
"It means," Liu Xi said matter-of-factly, "if the ship malfunctions, I can come find you to fix it."
"This…" Luo Jia's smile stiffened, utterly speechless. Who would dare promise that?
Liu Xi sighed in mild disappointment, shaking his head. "Forget it. Let's go, Xian'er, Zi Yan. We'll make do with this one."
"Please, wait!" Luo Jia quickly stepped forward. "If the ship doesn't interest you, perhaps you'd like to see our other goods. Though our Luo Family started with Monster Core trading, we now deal in Qi Methods, Dou Techniques, Monster Cores, weapons, armor, and even mounts—"
"Oh?" Liu Xi paused mid-step, turning back. "Monster Cores? Do you happen to have a 7th Rank Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast Core?"
Luo Jia frowned thoughtfully, recalling the family's high-grade stock. "That beast is exceedingly rare. We don't have a 7th Rank core, but there is one of the 6th Rank in storage. Would that suffice?"
A spark of excitement lit up Xiao Yixian's eyes. That core was precisely the final material needed to stabilize her Woeful Poison Body. She opened her mouth, but before she could speak—
"I'll take it."
Liu Xi's firm response cut her off.
Her lips curved into a tender smile, eyes soft as she gazed at him, warmth overflowing in her chest.
Liu Xi continued, "Since you deal in Monster Cores, I assume you also have Beast Flames?"
Luo Jia's smile widened. "Indeed, we do. We have 5th and 6th Rank Beast Flames, though no 7th Rank ones. How many would sir like?"
Liu Xi intended to refine the True Flame Technique and condense the Transmuted Flame. Beast Flames were invaluable for that purpose. Though these flames lacked spiritual intelligence, they were more than suitable for practicing the Five Ring Flame Expelling Technique and the Five Ring Flame Expelling Formation. Later, they could even be used to nourish his Green Lotus Core Flame.
"As many as you have," Liu Xi said simply. "That 6th Rank Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast Core—and all the Beast Flames you possess. I'll take them all."
"Excellent, excellent!" Luo Jia said eagerly. He whispered a quick command, and one of the Dou Huang guards immediately left to fetch the items. "Sir, please, come upstairs and wait for a moment. The core and flames will arrive shortly."
"Very well."
Liu Xi followed him upstairs, with Zi Yan and Xiao Yixian at his side. They entered a luxuriously furnished guest room on the second floor, sat down, and sipped tea while waiting.
After about half an hour, the sound of footsteps echoed outside. A yellow-robed elder entered, holding a Storage Ring, and handed it respectfully to Luo Jia.
"Second Elder, the 6th Rank Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast Core and the five collected Beast Flames are here."
Luo Jia inspected the ring briefly before smiling. "Sir, since you're our esteemed customer, I'll give you the best price—three million. How about it?"
Liu Xi chuckled softly. "Three million? Done."
With a flick of his hand, he tossed over the purple-gold card, while Luo Jia simultaneously threw him the Storage Ring.
Liu Xi caught it and drew out a small wooden box. Opening it revealed a faintly glowing violet Monster Core, its surface etched with intricate patterns. As his Spiritual Power brushed over it, he confirmed the poisonous energy within matched perfectly with the records in the Poison Pill Formula.
He nodded with satisfaction, closing the box and storing it away. Luo Jia returned the card to him respectfully. "Sir, please keep this safe. The Tianya Pavilion holds countless treasures—should you need anything else, you are always welcome."
"That won't be necessary."
Liu Xi rose smoothly, his robe fluttering as he turned toward the door. "Xian'er, Zi Yan—let's go. We leave the Northwest and head for the Central Plains."
