Chapter 132: The Service in Divine Will City is Impressive

After leading Ye Chen into one of the well-known cultivation technique stores in Divine Will City, Yun Qianyue stood idly outside the door, feeling a sense of boredom. Inside, she couldn’t help but feel a bit dismissive of Ye Chen.

An outside Foundation Establishment cultivator, maybe even a wandering cultivator—what was so impressive about that? He had the nerve to throw a tantrum at me… Such a country bumpkin from a small place. And now he looks down on the shop I brought him to. How much spiritual stone could a wandering cultivator like him possibly have? What’s he pretending to be, acting all high and mighty? It was laughable.

Though Yun Qianyue was only at the 7th Layer of Qi Refining, she still felt a subtle sense of superiority over Ye Chen. After all, she was a disciple of the Divine Will Sect. The immense status of Divine Will Sect gave Yun Qianyue a massive sense of pride.

However, after waiting for more than an hour, Yun Qianyue’s patience began to wear thin. Was Ye Chen, this Foundation Establishment cultivator from the outside world, still haggling over the price? Was that why it was taking so long?

Divine Will City was nothing like those local markets. The shops here had fixed prices and never accepted haggling.

What an embarrassment.

Yun Qianyue inwardly complained. If it weren’t for the fact that her commission hadn’t been paid yet, she would have already turned and left.

“Fellow Daoist Ye, please take care. We hope to see you again next time!”

After an unknown amount of time had passed, the Foundation Establishment cultivator in charge of the store smiled and respectfully escorted Ye Chen out, showing an unusual level of enthusiasm.

This display surprised Yun Qianyue. The shopkeeper had always been known for his attitude—wealthy customers were treated like royalty, but those without money weren’t even given the time of day.

Many out-of-town cultivators had cursed and complained about the poor service. But now, to see such warmth toward Ye Chen? What had Ye Chen bought inside?

Yun Qianyue, curious, saw the shopkeeper spot her and flash a smile.

“You’re the one who brought Fellow Daoist Ye here, aren’t you? I bestow upon you one medium-grade spiritual stone!”

With that, the shopkeeper tossed a medium-grade spiritual stone toward her.

Yun Qianyue’s eyes widened in surprise as she hurriedly caught it. “Thank you, Senior, for the generous gift!”

She looked at Ye Chen, her expression now filled with astonishment. How much had Ye Chen spent to receive such a generous gesture from the shopkeeper? Though she couldn’t figure it out, Yun Qianyue’s gaze toward Ye Chen became much warmer.

Ye Chen paid no attention to Yun Qianyue’s musings. He simply pondered for a moment before speaking. “Take me to Heavenly Evolution Pavilion.”

At this shop, Ye Chen still hadn’t found the Earth-grade Foundation Establishment cultivation method he was looking for. However, he did spend two high-grade spiritual stones to purchase a few decent Foundation Establishment spells.

The shopkeeper informed him that Earth-grade Foundation Establishment methods were extremely rare, even in Divine Will City. Heavenly Evolution Pavilion would be holding an auction in two weeks. One of the items on the auction list was a mid-tier Earth-grade Foundation Establishment method. But to attend the auction, one needed an invitation.

Foundation Establishment cultivators in the city would typically receive an invitation, but for those from outside, they would need to go to Heavenly Evolution Pavilion in person.

…

After receiving the medium-grade spiritual stone tip, Yun Qianyue realized that Ye Chen’s financial strength was far greater than she had initially imagined. Her enthusiasm was instantly reignited, and she eagerly led the way.

As she guided him, she introduced various customs, stories, and interesting anecdotes about Divine Will Sect, all while smiling brightly at Ye Chen. Her service attitude had improved significantly from before, now brimming with genuine warmth.
