Chapter 101: Chapter 83 Baiyan Trading Company_2
“This… no work, no pay, is really too precious!”
Zhang Xuan quickly waved his hand in refusal, his eyes filled with confusion, “City Lord, I am just an ordinary teacher. Even if I am honored to impart knowledge to Miss Yu, aren’t you being too polite…”
Although he didn’t know the value of the token, just from the fact that it allowed credit and could mobilize guards, it was clear it was extraordinary. Even as a teacher of Yu Xiaoyu, wasn’t directly giving this a bit too much?
Furrowing his brow, Zhang Xuan carefully recalled.
Their interactions included helping to subdue the Cangbai Eagle and accepting Yu Xiaoyu as a disciple. As for things like igniting the Furnace, he used Qingguang Beast’s Essence Blood, which wasn’t too extravagant at the Spirit pinnacle level…
He had always hidden it well, never exposing any issues; logically, the other party shouldn’t have any suspicions, right?
Upon hearing this, Yu Longqing then realized his actions had been excessive, and immediately gave an awkward smile, “It’s like this… Xiaoyu is a bit careless. She didn’t listen carefully in class today, so, I was hoping Zhang laoshi could give her some individual guidance…”
Zhang Xuan then breathed a sigh of relief, silently admiring the other’s affection for his daughter, and nodded immediately, “If she can fulfill the requirements on the Silk Pouch tonight, I will naturally guide her tomorrow. Please rest assured, City Lord Yu.”
The love of parents, a deep and far-reaching plan.
The dignified City Lord, in order to help his daughter, didn’t mind explaining everything along the way and even intended to offer a City Lord Token… It really wasn’t easy.
“Of course!”
Seeing that he had fooled the situation, Yu Longqing also breathed a sigh of relief, clasped his hands together and bowed, “Since that is the case, I won’t disturb Zhang laoshi any longer, I take my leave!”
After saying this, he turned around and left.
He had only taken a few steps when he saw the young man waving goodbye. With a slight smile, he raised his hand in return, and then saw Dao Li under him also lifting a hoof and waving continuously.
“…”
Does a horse also say goodbye? Was this creature serious?
“Okay, stop showing off…”
After slapping Dao Li, Zhang Xuan jumped down from the horse.
This guy was good in all aspects, but he loved to show off, always wanting to flaunt in front of anyone… Remember, you’re just a horse!
When could he be as low-key and reserved as himself?
Seeing the Baiyan Trading Company did not refuse to lead the horse, Zhang Xuan confidently walked in with Dao Li.
Because he had asked in advance, he bypassed some stalls and soon arrived in front of a spacious hall.
At this time, the hall outside was already full of people, with as many as hundreds, all were wandering cultivators who had come for the Source Pool evaluation. Looking at their ages, the youngest were about twenty-seven or twenty-eight, and the oldest, sixty or seventy.
Being able to practice not only extended lifespan but also increased the ways to make money significantly. Such temptation was irresistible to anyone.
“Everyone, please don’t worry. The manager has already reported to Patriarch Liu to find Destiny Plates at Baiyan Academy! Those who haven’t registered yet, please come this way to pay the registration fee and prepare to enter…”
Seeing the noisy crowd, a manager shouted out.
Zhang Xuan walked over.
Most of the hundreds of people had pre-registered, so there weren’t many like him who were here for the first time, hence there were not many in front of him in the line.
While queuing, Zhang Xuan felt someone tugging at his clothes, turned his head, and saw Dao Li rubbing his arm with its head.
“You want to try too?”
Zhang Xuan was startled.
This creature in front of him had submitted willingly during spirit awakening, and they could communicate normally on a mental level.
Dao Li’s massive head nodded.
“That’s right!”
Zhang Xuan nodded, “I found you the Source Pool, arranged your meridians, and although you can cultivate now, you actually haven’t undergone a proper evaluation. Since there’s Heavenly Mandate Vitality, let’s absorb some and give it a try…”
“Heir, heir!” Understanding him, Dao Li snorted loudly, clearly delighted.
Zhang Xuan said no more, followed the crowd, quickly reached the front, took out 400 Origin Currency prepared in advance, and handed it over, “I want to register, two of us…”
The manager looked up with a puzzled expression, “Where’s the second person? It’s about to start soon, and they must be present in a while. Once the evaluation starts, there are no refunds.”
“It’s already here!”
Zhang Xuan smiled and patted Dao Li, “It’s this horse, it wants to try too…”
After a moment of stunned silence, the manager’s face turned odd, and he snorted with laughter, “You want a horse to occupy a spot for the Source Pool evaluation?”
Zhang Xuan nodded, “Yes! Is that possible?”
Manager: “As long as you pay, it’s not a problem, not just a horse, you could bring a whole group! However, I must say beforehand, the horse is quite large, almost taking up four people’s space, so, it will be four times the price.”
“That’s fine!”
Zhang Xuan nodded.
“Really someone with money to burn…”
Muttering under his breath, the manager no longer persuaded but instead began to introduce, “Our company’s evaluation is divided into the inner field and the outer field, each having three tiers: inner one, inner two, inner three, and likewise, outer one, outer two, outer three. Which spot would you like to purchase?”
“There are tiers?” Zhang Xuan was surprised.
Manager: “Of course, the closer you are to the Destiny Plate, the denser the Heavenly Mandate Vitality, and the higher the chance of achieving a high tier. If you have the money, naturally, you should buy a better spot.”
“I see!” Zhang Xuan suddenly understood.
It was just like the concerts in his previous life, the closer to the idol, the higher the price, and they could even be sold at sky-high prices.
Thinking it over, Zhang Xuan asked, “How much for a spot in inner one? I’ll take a spot for me and one for Dao Li.”
Previously at the academy, sitting pitifully on the outer circle, he hadn’t absorbed much. Now that he could buy a spot, naturally, he wanted the best position.
