The girl ran over while crying. However, Old Ying turned a blind eye to this and only looked at Ling Tian as he whispered,""What keen perception." The young lady ran behind Ling Tian without saying a word.
Seeing this, Ling Tian asked,"You want to follow me?”The girl nodded. "Why?" Ling Tian asked again. What awaited him was the girl's silence. Old Ying smiled when he saw this. Kid, accept it."
Seeing how happy Old Ying was, Ling Tian said,""Then why don't you accept it, Old Ying? You can even be a granddaughter.”
Old Ying's face immediately fell when he heard that.""How can that do? I already have a granddaughter. I think you should take her in. It's not bad to be a maidservant.”
"I have a granddaughter!" Hearing this, Ling Tian was taken aback and shook his head,""Then we can only do that. However, we should still sell her some things. The sky is getting dark. After buying things, we still have to find an inn.”
Old Ying only regained his composure after seeing Ling Tian acknowledge him,""Suit yourself." Seeing this, Ling Tian could only shake his head.
The three of them came to a shop that sold clothes. "What do you want to buy?" The waiter said dutifully. Buy her some clothes and pick a few pretty ones from the clothes of the 13 to 18 year old girls." Ling Tian looked around and pointed at the girl behind him,""By the way, you can pick whichever one you like.”
The girl didn't move when she heard that. Instead, the owner of the clothing shop came out and said,""If you buy like this, you will buy a lot.”Hearing this, Ling Tian replied indifferently," Money is not a problem. I don't want to waste my time on such matters in the future. Boss, you just need to take the clothes."”After saying that, he threw a Purple Crystal Coin to him.
When the shop owner saw this, he smiled and asked the waiter to get the clothes. When Ling Tian saw that the clothes had been brought over, he took out a new storage ring and stored them away. He then casually took out a set of clothes and passed it to the young lady, telling her to change out of her clothes.
After a while, the young girl came out. She was washed clean and changed into beautiful clothes. She looked much better. The young lady was dressed in the purple clothes that Ling Tian had chosen for her, looking like a violet flower that was about to bloom.
Seeing this, Ling Tian nodded his head and said," There's no need for your previous name. From now on, you will be called Violet Orchid."”The girl nodded, her face slightly red, as if she was not used to this purple dress.
Seeing this, Ling Tian nodded his head and did not say anything else. After asking for the location of the jewelry store, he brought the young lady to the jewelry store. The moment he entered the jewelry shop, Ling Tian said to the shop owner,""See if there are any accessories that suit her and choose a few more.”He pointed at Violet Orchid.
The boss was quite direct. He quickly picked out a large pile of jewelry, many of which were packed in exquisite boxes. "What do you want, sir?" The boss asked with a smile. "By the way, I forgot to introduce it to you. This jade hairpin is…" As he spoke, the boss prepared to publicize it.
Seeing this, Ling Tian immediately cut off his words," Alright, there's no need for introductions.”"Full package?" The boss thought he had heard wrong and repeated himself. "Yes, it's all included.”Ling Tian replied without any emotions.
"This…" After the boss confirmed that there was no mistake, he took out a small abacus and began to calculate. After a while, the boss said," Alright, the total is 2,838 gold coins. I'll round it up for you. It's 2,800 gold coins in total."”Hearing this, Ling Tian tossed three Purple Crystal Coins to the shop owner before leaving with the young lady. "There's no need to look for it." Ling Tian said to the shop owner after they walked out of the shop.
After arriving at the inn, they booked two suites. One for Ying Lao, one for Ling Tian and one for Zi Lan. However, after Ling Tian and Violet Orchid returned to their room, Ling Tian said to Violet Orchid,""If you really want to follow me, think about it carefully. If you follow me, you will lose your life at any time. Because I am a cultivator, and my goal is to become stronger, so if you follow me, you will lose your life one day.
Of course, if you follow me, I will also let you cultivate so that you have the power to protect yourself.”Violet Orchid was silent for a long time before she said,""You bought me, so I'm yours. No matter if I'm a maid or something else, this will never change.”Her voice was very pleasant, but it revealed the persistence of a young girl.
Ling Tian looked into Violet Orchid's eyes for a long time before saying,""Alright, you can go rest."
On the second day, before Violet Orchid woke up, Ling Tian was already drinking alone on the rooftop.
After a long while, Ling Tian let out a long sigh," What are you sighing for? You don't look young at all. Also, drinking alone would cause one's intestines to rot.”As soon as he finished speaking, a green light flashed and a person appeared on the roof. It was Old Ying.
Seeing this, Ling Tian didn't find it strange and threw the wine pot in his hand to Old Daoist Ying,""Then you should drink it too." Old Ying took the wine and drank it without hesitation,""What are you thinking about, kid?"
"It's nothing. By the way, it's good that you're here. I want to ask what will happen to Violet Orchid after I go to Huanan University.”Ling Tian avoided answering and changed the topic. "What do you mean what to do? Let's go together." Old Ying gulped down the wine and said nonchalantly,""However, you definitely have something on your mind. It's fine if you don't say it.”
"But she has never cultivated it." "It's because you haven't cultivated it that you can bring it in.”Old Ying shook his head. "Why? Can I bring people into the academy?”"Of course, but only one or two people with cultivation can enter.”"But I plan to teach her fighting spirit." Ling Tian asked.
"What's the big deal? What can she cultivate in such a short time? Don't worry, leave her admission to me.”"But you said you wanted to teach her fighting spirit?" Old Ying waved his hand as he drank his wine.”
"Why? Is there a problem?" Ling Tian was slightly puzzled. "There's no problem. It's just that her Heavenly Body Charm Bones should be cultivating magic or cultivation techniques, and it's best if it's of the water attribute or if she cultivates a Charm Technique.”
Hearing this, Ling Tian cupped his fists towards Old Ying and said,"Thank you for your guidance.”"It's nothing." Old Ying shook his head." Oh right, with your strength, you can enter the inner court directly. I can help you enter the inner court directly. However, you will have to go through an assessment. How about it?"”
"No need. I will go to the Inner Academy, but not now. I want to stay in the Outer Academy for a while before entering the Inner Academy.”Ling Tian shook his head. "In that case, forget it. You have to know that many people in the outer court can't enter the inner court even if they want to.”Old Ying shook his head as if he felt pity for her.
Seeing this, Ling Tian shook his head and remained silent.
When dawn came, Ling Tian returned to his room and saw Violet Orchid. He then got up and saw Ling Tian lowering his head in embarrassment. Seeing this, Ling Tian didn't say anything and walked to her side,""Let's go eat." He then took out the jade slip from his storage ring and began to read it. Soon, he found a mid-tier Heaven Rank cultivation technique that could be cultivated all the way to the Saint Rank.
However, Ling Tian only took out an ordinary jade slip and recorded it down, only stopping when he could cultivate it to the King tier. He suddenly remembered that magic also required a basic meditation technique, so he could only ask Old Ying for another one. He called Zilan, who had just finished her meal, and said," Alright, this is the spell I chose for you first. Since Ying Tiyi wants you to practice water magic, I can't teach you. You can practice it yourself. If you don't understand, ask Old Ying. He should know." Also, you'll be able to find a very good teacher when you follow me to the South China Academy. Although you can still become an official disciple, you can still listen in. There will definitely be many books on magic experience.”
"Got it." Violet Orchid nodded her head, but Ling Tian did not notice the worry and resentment in her eyes.
Half a month later, in a high-class inn in Lan City, an old man and two young men sat at a table. "Old Ying, are you going to the auction tonight?”Ling Tian put down his bowl and chopsticks and asked. "An auction? What good stuff can there be in an auction of this level? It's not an auction in South China City.”"Of course, the triennial auction is an exception." Old Ying shook his head.”
"What about you, Violet Orchid?" Ling Tian was not surprised to see this. After all, Old Ying was an intermediate Dou Huang. "Me?" Violet Orchid did not expect Ling Tian to ask her if she wanted to go. She pointed at herself and said," Can I?”
"Of course, you can go and take a look even if you don't buy anything.”Ling Tian nodded his head and said,"Since that's the case, let's go together."”
At the Lan City Auction House, Ling Tian brought Zi Lan to the entrance and saw that the guards at the entrance were charging one Purple Crystal Coin for each person. However, there was still an endless stream of people entering.
Ling Tian didn't line up and directly walked to the front of the line and said to the staff,""Where is the private room?" " Over there," the staff member pointed to the side. Ling Tian thanked her and brought Violet Orchid over. The staff asked,""A private room?"
"Hmm, what types of private rooms are there and how much are they?”Ling Tian nodded and asked. "We have three types of private rooms here. Heaven, Earth, and Human. Heaven Level, 10,000 Purple Crystal Coins. Earth Level, 1,000 Purple Crystal Coins. Human Level, 100 Purple Crystal Coins.”the staff member explained.
"Alright then, I want an Earth Grade private room. Here's 1000 Purple Crystal Coins.”Ling Tian nodded his head as he took out a bag of Purple Crystal Coins from his storage ring and tossed it to the staff member. "Okay, this is your waist token, Earth Grade 32. Please keep it.”The staff member counted the Purple Crystal Coins and passed a silver token to Ling Tian.
"Okay, let's go." Ling Tian nodded his head and called out to Zi Lan, who was still in a daze. " Oh," Violet Orchid replied and quickly followed behind Ling Tian. She sighed in her heart at how expensive it was. It was enough for her family to live on for the rest of their lives. But now that she no longer had a home, she lowered her head, not wanting Ling Tian to see the tears in her eyes.
Entering the private room made Ling Tian feel extremely comfortable. Although the private room wasn't big, it was decorated in a luxurious manner. Furthermore, the floor was filled with the fur of low-level demon beasts, as well as a luxurious table and sofa, making Ling Tian feel extremely comfortable.
"Do as you please." After informing Violet Orchid, Ling Tian sat down on the sofa made of demonic beast fur and started drinking tea. Violet Orchid, on the other hand, was looking around. She felt that everything was so beautiful, so flashy, and so unfamiliar. Ling Tian didn't mind and allowed her to do whatever she wanted.
An hour later, the auction started and the person who came up was actually someone familiar to Ling Tian-Ya Xuan. "It's her! Oh right, this auction house was organized by Ziwei Pavilion, so it was not strange for her to be here.”At first, Ling Tian was a little surprised, but he soon calmed down.
Ling Tian didn't notice that Zi Lan, who was tired from playing, saw Ling Tian staring at Ya Xuan before looking at her again. For some reason, she lowered her head in sadness.
At this moment, Ya Xuan's charming voice filled the entire place.""I believe that everyone must be very unfamiliar with home. However, the first half of today's auction will be hosted by me, and the second half will be auctioned by Old Chen and everyone else. First, let me introduce myself. My name is Ya Xuan. Of course, the reason the auction house sent me up here is to train me, so please don't laugh at me if I'm not good at explaining.”
After saying that, she revealed a sweet smile to everyone and continued,"Then the first item is a high grade Black Rank spirit ore. This is a fire attribute Flowing Flame Ore produced in a volcano. It is the basic mineral for making fire attribute spirit tools. The starting price of this 200-pound Volcanic Flame Ore is 500 Purple Crystal Coins, and each increment must be no less than 10 Purple Orchid Crystal Coins.”
"I bid 600 Purple Crystal Coins,""650,""I bid 700,""I bid 800 Purple Crystal Coins,""850 Purple Crystal Coins,""880,""900,""920,""I bid 950."
In the end, this Flowing Flame Ore was bought by someone for 950 Purple Crystal Coins. The following items were mostly worth a few hundred purple coins. Ling Tian did not look at them and instead lowered his head to slowly sip his tea.
After a while, the price of the items finally began to rise, and the majority of the items sold were in the thousands of purple coins. Two hours later, Ya went down. An old man in his sixties came up. As soon as he went up, the crowd kept saying," Hello, Old Chen. Hello, Old Chen."”
It was obvious that everyone was more familiar with him, and their enthusiasm was even more enthusiastic than the beautiful and alluring Ya Xuan.
Of course, most of the people who were passionate about Ya Xuan were young men, but this Old Chen knew almost everyone, because this was the reputation he had accumulated over the years.
