After Favorability Is Maxed

193 I’ll Give You a 15 Percent Discount for the Sake of Taiqing Pavilion

After making up their mind, they explored the hall on the lower floor.

However, out of caution, they did not clean up the area, and they did not dare to touch the lush exotic flowers and plants.

It was unknown whether the species here had been here for a long time or had mutated, but no one present could recognize it. There was no one here who was proficient in herbology, so they were afraid that it was some poisonous plant.

If someone was poisoned, he would die without a doubt in this situation. There was no need to save him, so it was better not to touch anything.

As for the remaining places, they were all places that had no cover or had been completely destroyed, so there was no value in exploring them.

A few people in Tang Yuanhua’s team found a display room along the corridor. It seemed to be the place where the Martial Emperor kept his weapons. There were many high-grade weapons of all kinds in the room, but they were all for the sake of appearance.

Liu Yuan’s expression was strange. The pavilion and the pool outside were elegantly decorated, and there were only women’s items on the table. He felt that this was a place that He Junhao had built to please his wife.

Just thinking about it made him feel like he was being fed dog food. It was extremely sour.

At this moment, Mr. Liu, who was very disdainful of the old senior, didn’t seem to remember that he was a player who had gone even further and opened up a harem.

However, no matter what he was thinking, the others were overjoyed. They each picked a suitable weapon, and the situation where they had no iron in their hands was finally improved.

In addition, Liu Yuan had an unexpected surprise.

He walked back and forth around the pool at least three or four times before suddenly noticing that the lotus patterns on the edge of the pool made of ten victory stone were somewhat familiar.

After staring at it for a long time, he finally dug out the impression in his mind from his memory.

F*ck, isn’t this one of the four ingredients that old man Xie Qian gave me? That one, that’s the Fish-scaled Lotus Seed, right?”

Liu Yuan squatted down and touched the embossed lines on the edge of the pool. The more he looked at them, the more familiar they looked. He was more and more certain.

Looking at the mud below, Liu Yuan made up his mind and went down directly. As expected, he found three lotus seeds the size of longan fruits in the mud.

The teardrop-shaped lotus seed looked like a small flower bud, and its surface was covered with a hard scale-like pattern. It looked like a delicate and exquisite piece of art.

Although it was dug out from the mud, there was not a single stain on it. It was indeed out of the mud without being stained.

It was exactly the same as Xie Qian’s drawing.

Oh, no, the paper that Old Man Xie had written down at the beginning had drawn the specific characteristics of the materials used to hatch the Golden Crow True Yang, as well as where to get them and the method to get them. It was very detailed.

The four materials were the Mirror Moon Jade, the Greenwood Demon Blood, the Fish-scaled Lotus Seed, and the Mountain Sea Treasure Heart.

Liu Yuan had already obtained three of them.

However-

None of them were obtained according to the strategy given by Old Man Xie.

Liu Yuan even felt that he had let down Xie Qian’s painstaking efforts. He had obtained the Mirror Moon Jade from a woman at Water Moon Dock (crossed out), the Mountain Sea Treasure Heart was with him (although it seemed like he couldn’t take it), and he got the Fish-scaled Lotus Seed in the Martial Emperor’s Tomb Secret Realm by mistake.

Liu Yuan thought to himself that he should at least give the old man some face and follow the rules for his last Greenwood Demon Blood.

Although everyone was stunned by Liu Yuan’s sudden action, when they saw him dig out the three lotus seeds, their shock turned into admiration.

“Fellow Daoist’s observation is sharp. I’m not as good as you.” Tang Yuanhua flattered him and said with some envy, “The Fish-scaled Lotus Seed bear fruit every 5,000 years. It’s very beneficial to the soul. Even if I can’t get the Martial Emperor’s inheritance, I won’t lose out.”

“You want it? Since you’re from the Tai Qing Pavilion, I’ll give you a 15 percent discount. 8,500 spiritual stones for one seed,” Liu Yuan said.

This was the System’s price. Liu Yuan was not clear about the specific price of goods in Shangyang, but he would always be right to listen to the System.

Tang Yuanhua was stunned at first, then he quickly nodded and said, “Thank you for giving it up, Fellow Daoist.”

A deal was made very quickly, but the cash would have to wait until they left.

Looking at the expression on his face, Liu Yuan knew that he had set too low a price.

However, he was actually very straightforward. 8,500 was originally the price of the System store, but after he said it was a 15 percent discount, it made it seem like he was doing a big favor.

In fact, this was the difference in perception between players and NPCs.

To players, such precious items could be bought from the System, with limited quantities at most. However, to NPCs, it was a treasure that could only be found by luck.

Apart from joy, Tang Yuanhua also felt a trace of doubt.

“Fellow Daoist, you said you’re doing this for the sake of the Taiqing Pavilion, but what relationship do you have with the Taiqing Pavilion?” Tang Yuanhua’s desire to befriend this young man was far greater than his initial vigilance. He had already begun to guess whether it was some hidden sect or aristocratic family that was about to enter the sights of the Central Plains.

Would you believe me if I told you that the Green Lotus Swordsman of your Taiqing Pavilion is my wife?

Although a month ago she was still holding a sword to my neck, if I were to appear in front of her now, even if I were to press her to the ground and spank her butt, she would probably only bite her lips and endure it.

Liu Yuan’s expression was very subtle. “It’s a long story. Maybe I’ll have to pay a visit to the Taiqing Pavilion in the future. You have to be the host then.”

Hearing this, Tang Yuanhua felt that his guess was more or less confirmed. He repeatedly agreed and became even more curious about Liu Yuan’s identity.

He did not find anything else.

Before leaving, Hong Luan had a general understanding of the mechanism function represented by the eternal flame. Combined with the instructions of the large pool in the scroll, she found the correct way to use this garden and pavilion.

The little puppet stood in the center, and the threads on her fingertips extended out and pulled on almost all the eternal lamps on all four sides. Except for some defensive killing mechanisms, she controlled all of them and pulled them in a specific order as if she was playing a musical instrument.

Ka ka ka ka ka!

The golden patterns on the ground and walls cracked open, and the bricks began to move slowly. Except for the central pavilion, the floor bloomed like lotus petals, and golden light shone through, shining on the flowers and trees. It was dazzling, as if they were inlaid with a layer of gold, very beautiful.

Everyone’s eyes widened slightly. Just such an opening was already too much for their eyes to take in. It was not that the Immortal cultivators were country bumpkins, but that no one among the Immortal cultivators knew how to play with such a thing. It was useless to be fancy.

But now that they suddenly saw it, they still felt very shocked.

“This place was originally called ‘Baoguang Pavilion’. It was where Lord Puppeteer and Lord Martial Emperor used to rest.” Hong Luan stopped and retracted her silk thread.

With a creaking sound, the floor returned to its original state.

Everyone, who was originally anticipating what wonderful changes would happen in the future, was stunned. They held onto a trace of hope and silently waited for a moment. When they saw Hong Luan naturally turn around and pull Liu Yuan away, they finally recovered from their daze.

“Eh, Fellow Daoist Hong Luan, that’s it?” Tang Yuanhua could not help but ask.
