    Chapter 1322: Dragon Scale Grass

    Lingbao Pavilion, the biggest trading place in six lands, three continents, and one ocean, is usually open all night so that cultivators can exchange things they want anytime.

    "Who goes there!" The guard at the door held up his weapon and sternly shouted.

    Su Yi took out a black card and waved it in the air with a nonchalant attitude. When dealing with organizations like Lingbao Pavilion, which tend to look down on others, Su Yi had learned to put on a show.

    "Black… Black card VIP!" This move worked like a charm, and a hint of fear flashed in the guard’s eyes.

    "Please wait, I’ll go report to Pavilion Lord for you, sir!" The guard hurriedly ran into the building.

    "Hmm!" Su Yi didn’t even look, and made a deep, low sound from his mouth.

    Not long after, a graceful and charming woman followed behind the guard. Her figure was perfectly curved, with almond-shaped eyes and a goose egg-shaped face. She was wearing a light green silk dress and walked gracefully.

    As the woman approached, it could be seen that she had reached the sixth level of the Yuan Void realm and looked to be around twenty-one or twenty-two years old. If she were placed outside, she would definitely be considered a rare talent of her generation.

    The woman took light steps, with a gentle breeze carrying a pleasant scent. Her hands loosely overlapped, with the right hand placed over the left. She slightly bowed and softly spoke, "I am Yun Xiang. I have been ordered to bring young Master Su Yi to the Pavilion."

    "Do you know me?" Su Yi felt a flicker in his heart. Even before he entered, Lingbao Pavilion already knew he was coming. Their information network was truly remarkable.

    Yun Xiang covered her face and giggled, "Of course we know. Young Master, your talents are unrivaled. Black VIP cards are rare in the entire Six Lands, Three Continents, and One Ocean. If Lingbao Pavilion didn’t have any knowledge of the Chaos Realm’s black card, then their claim of understanding the universe would be in vain!"

    Yun Xiang’s voice was gentle and melodious, like the scent of orchids in a quiet valley. It was incredibly soothing.

    After speaking, Yun Xiang gracefully led the way, occasionally gesturing to the side. Before long, she brought Su Yi into a grand hall.

    The Lingbao Tower appeared small from the outside, but the Treasure Hall on the lowest floor was vast. It bustled with people, and there were not only Lingbao Pavilion’s sales counters, but also countless booths for independent cultivators and travelers to exchange and trade their abilities. Lingbao Pavilion only charged a small fee for these transactions.

    As Yun Xiang walked ahead, she patiently explained to the curious Su Yi.

    The further they walked, the more abundant the spiritual energy became. Compared to the shallow energy outside, this place was filled to the brim. Su Yi used his spiritual senses and was amazed to discover that this abundance of spiritual energy didn’t come from the heavens and earth.

    "There are all kinds of Spirit Weapons, elixirs, and wandering cultivators here, gathering spiritual energy within them. That’s why it’s more abundant than outside. But this enclosed space is so dense, there must be some treasures here!" whispered Ling Qianxue in her mind. With her cultivation at the Demonic Emperor Realm, sensing it quickly was no problem.

    Su Yi repeated Ling Qianxue’s words to Yun Xiang, and a hint of surprise appeared in Yun Xiang’s eyes.

    "Sir Su has sharp eyes! Places like Nine Star City are naturally gathering spots for powerhouses. To make each Lingbao Pavilion a trading center in these influential cities, the headquarters will build towers like the Spirit Treasure Tower, burying a vein of ore beneath it, suppressing it layer by layer, connecting with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, and possessing a continuous flow of spiritual energy."

    Su Yi was lost in thought as Yun Xiang continued to speak slowly.

    "The purpose of doing this is to demonstrate the Lingbao Pavilion’s strong financial resources and immense power, so that outsiders will not dare to act recklessly. In addition, every member of the Lingbao Pavilion can cultivate in the Spirit Treasure Tower. As for outsiders, as long as they pay sufficient fees or are disciples of major sects that have been cooperating with the Lingbao Pavilion for many years, they can freely enter the top of the tower to cultivate with the token of the sect."

    "Excellent!" Su Yi and Ling Qianxue exclaimed at the same time. It was evident that besides each major city having a vein of ore, the presence of the Lingbao Pavilion meant that there was an abundance of talented martial artists.

    The Lingbao Pavilion was almost equal in strength to the Yutian Palace in the current world.

    Su Yi’s heart skipped a beat as the image of the veiled woman in the Demon Woods appeared in his mind. Her elegant figure, covered with a sheer veil, and her long hair cascading over her slender waist.

    It was the same Luan Blue who had given him the black card at the beginning.

    The middle-aged woman dressed in plain clothes and a long skirt emitted an unfathomable aura. By hearing Deacon Wu call her "Immortal Aunt," it showed her status and position in the Lingbao Pavilion.

    Su Yi saw Lingbao Pavilion again, realizing once more that it was a world where the strong preyed on the weak. The Overlord Sect and Su Yi himself seemed very small in comparison. They needed to grow quickly.

    While thinking, Yun Xiang took Su Yi through the hall and across a flying corridor, leading them to a meditation room. This room was located in the deepest part of the first floor of the Spirit Treasure Tower.

    Upon entering the meditation room, a wave of spiritual energy greeted them. In the center of the room, there was a stone platform surrounded by a vibrant aura, shining brightly.

    "Is this a teleportation stone?" Ling Qianxue whispered softly.

    "Young Master Su, please wait here for a moment. The Lord is currently receiving guests. After a short time, I will take you to meet the Lord," Yun Xiang said.

    After speaking, Yun Xiang turned around and gracefully walked away, as if dancing on lotus flowers, exuding an ethereal charm. She soon disappeared in the distance.

    Su Yi couldn’t help but smile bitterly and whispered, "Do you think if I tell Pavilion Lord Ying that I’m just here to buy a piece of clothing, he would kill me?"

    "Haha, then just buy something else, since money is no problem for you!" Ling Qianxue’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, her emerald feathers curving like a new moon.

    Ling Qianxue appeared indifferent, as if she had nothing to do with it, thinking that it served Su Yi right for teasing her earlier. She wanted to see him being laughed at by others.

    "Hmm, just called this a teleportation stone? Below is the vein, so much energy. It’s okay to use more, just too extravagant!" Su Yi thought to himself.

    "It’s not extravagant, it’s because each layer here forms its own space!" Ling Qianxue said mysteriously, pursing her lips.

    Su Yi felt a tightness in his heart. The Spirit Treasure Tower has so many layers, and each one forms its own space?

    Upon careful consideration, it makes sense. Each layer of the Spirit Treasure Tower is different. For example, the first layer is a trading hall with complex and numerous people coming and going. The second layer displays elixirs, the third layer has various Dharma and Dao tools, and the fourth layer has formations and cultivation methods. Each layer is a treasure and forms its own space, not only to guard against petty thieves, but also for easy management and to prevent mixed spiritual energy.

    "But, this is really amazing!"

    Su Yi smiled wryly. He originally wanted to find some treasures in Lingbao Pavilion before returning to the sect, to buy a piece of clothing for Qianxue. He didn’t want to encounter Pavilion Lord Ying, but now it seems like a joke is going to happen.

    Su Yi quickly had a bright idea.

    "Hey, my big brother asked me to find the Nine-turn Dragon Scale Grass for him! I wonder if they have it here. I’ll ask later." Su Yi finally came up with an idea. If his big brother can’t find something, then it’s probably rare in the world. It’s a good opportunity to ask for help from Lingbao Pavilion.

    "Your big brother? He actually wants the Dragon Scale Grass?" Ling Qianxue asked.

    Ling Qianxue thought to herself that even though this cunning boy seemed unserious, he was always thinking about the people around him.

    Just as Su Yi was about to respond, he heard the sound of a nightingale behind him.

    "Sir Su, Lord Xing requests your presence!"
