Investment System In Xianxia Chapter 27

Chapter 27: Just an Experiment

The blood-colored bead was ice-cold to the touch and emitted a nauseating bloody scent.

With just one glance, Li Xun could tell that this bead was not a good thing. It should be a treasure refined from human lives, but its level seemed to be low. It should still be classified as an ordinary weapon.

"Another piece of junk. Doesn't Liu Sandao, as a disciple of the Blood Demon Sect, have any treasures on him?" Li Xun looked at Liu Sandao's corpse with disdain.

He wanted to crush the blood-colored bead with his fingers, but he thought better of it and gave up. After all, it was still a weapon, albeit a demonic one. He could hand it over to the sect and exchange it for some spiritual stones, right?

With the idea that every little bit counts, Li Xun put the blood-colored bead and Liu Sandao's corpse into the latter's storage ring.

Liu Sandao's corpse was the symbol of completing the mission. Without it, it would be impossible to obtain the mission reward when he returned. After confirming that there was nothing left behind, Li Xun turned and left the cave.

Instead of returning to the Xuan Yang Sect immediately, he headed to a nearby city called Panshi.

Fifteen minutes later, he arrived at Panshi City.

It was a small city with a population of only tens of thousands. Because it was close to the Canglang Mountains, many cultivators would enter the city to hunt down demonic beasts. As a result, the small city gradually developed.

While wearing a white robe, Li Xun casually walked on the street, scanning the people passing by with his eyes.

Soon, he withdrew his gaze with disappointment.

"Perhaps... there may be some restrictions on the so-called investment by the system, but I just haven't figured it out yet," Li Xun thought to himself.

After confirming that he couldn't find any investable people, he didn't waste any more time and headed straight towards the end of the street.

In no time at all, a towering and magnificent loft with a pearl-like luster appeared before Li Xun's eyes, with a plaque hanging above it.

The plaque read "Treasure Pavilion" in three large characters.

Treasure Pavilion was a powerful force, and as for how powerful it was, Li Xun couldn't say for sure. He only knew that neither his own Li family nor Xuan Yang Sect could afford to provoke Treasure Pavilion.

Even in Panshi City, such a small city.

The gatekeepers of Treasure Pavilion had all reached the tenth level of the Body Tempering Realm. If they advanced one step further in their cultivation, they could become inner disciples of Xuan Yang Sect.

"I'm afraid that only this Treasure Pavilion in the whole Panshi City can provide me with everything I need," Li Xun looked at the plaque and walked inside.

As soon as he entered the building, a servant quickly greeted him.

Upon seeing Li Xun's attire, a fervent smile immediately appeared on the servant's face.

An inner disciple of Xuan Yang Sect!

This identity may not mean much in other places, but in this small place of Panshi City, it was undoubtedly a big customer.

"Sir, what would you like to have?" the servant asked with a friendly smile.

"Can you gather everything on this paper?" Li Xun casually tossed out a piece of paper filled with dense text to the servant.

The servant took the paper and scanned it roughly, and was immediately amazed.

He didn't misjudge. This Xuan Yang Sect disciple was indeed a big customer!

On his paper, there were almost everything, such as elixirs, spiritual herbs, treasures of heaven and earth, martial arts, weapons, etc. Buying all of these things would probably be enough to establish a small organization in any city.

"Please wait inside, I will go and get the items for you," the servant quickly said.

"Okay."

Li Xun nodded and then found a secluded spot in the Treasure Pavilion and sat down at a table and chair.

Just when he was bored, a noisy voice came from the entrance of the Treasure Pavilion.

"Get out of here right away. Treasure Pavilion is not a charity. If you want to buy Lingzhi grass, you must use spiritual stones to buy it!" A guard at the entrance frowned and pushed a young girl out.

It was obvious that the guards of Treasure Pavilion had good character. Although their tone was cold, they did not resort to violence against the girl or insult her using foul language. They just kept her outside the door while keeping choosing to warn the girl verbally. "I have spiritual stones, really! Please, please sell me a Lingzhi grass!"

The girl was young, about fifteen or sixteen years old, and she was wearing patched clothes. Despite the strange looks that she got from passing passersby, she still stood outside of the door and kept pleading.

The young girl opened a patched bag and handed it to the guard, her voice full of hope: "I really have spirit stones."

"Five pieces of low-grade spirit stones are far from enough."

The guard behind the door shook his head and said in a warning voice, "If I were you, I wouldn't take out the spirit stones! It’s dangerous"

People in the cultivation world are unpredictable. For a girl like her who has no strength and has revealed the fact that she has spirit stones, it is not a good thing.

After all, Panshi City is not a sect, and people killing girls, the elderly, and even childrens for treasure that they have is not uncommon to see.

Even though this girl looks pitiful, so what?

There are many pitiful people in this city, some that are more pitiful than her.

No one cares, whether there is one more or one less.

"I only have this much, please sell me a Lingzhi grass, my mother...my mother really needs this Lingzhi grass."

The girl took two steps forward again and tried to enter the Treasure Pavilion.

But as soon as she took a step forward, she was blocked back by the guard at the door.

"Treasure Pavilion has its own rules, and personal problems are something that it can’t help with." The guard said expressionlessly.

"I..."

The girl pleaded again, pitiful and helpless, but the two guards stood there, doing their job as the building gatekeepers, completely unmoved by the girl's pleading words.

At this time, inside Treasure Pavilion...

The servant who had just left came back from the back hall with a storage ring.

"Honored customers, your things are all ready for you. It costs a total of eighty-nine high-grade spirit stones."

"Okay."

Li Xun took the storage ring and scanned the contents with his divine sense. He nodded in satisfaction, then looked back at the door and continued, "Also, Please fetch me a Lingzhi grass."

"What?," the servant asked in confusion, looking at Li Xun and then at the girl at the door. "Are you going to give it to the girl at the door?"

"No, it's just for an experiment of mine," Li Xun said indifferently.

"Understood." The servant nodded, didn't say anything else, and quickly left.
