BXBX NOVEL Chapter 108: Selling the Painting
“Young Master, please come in! We have whatever you want at the Stargazing Tower!”
“Whatever you need, feel free to ask, we will satisfy whatever you desire.”
Seeing Sun Hao’s extraordinary clothes, the waiter quickly came forward and greeted him passionately.
Whatever you need? It seemed like he needed everything. The problem was that he didn’t have any spirit stones! Rumeng seemed to have them. As long as he asked, Rumeng would definitely bring it out. However, the accommodation was already paid for by Ruymeng, now that he had to ask Rumeng to buy something, he really can’t bring himself to open his mouth.
It was better to eat less soft food. An adult man lived, ate, and was protected by a woman. And now he still had the face to ask for money to buy things?
“We’re not going to buy, just looking around casually!” Sun Hao said.
“Young Master, feel free to look, I will not accompany you!”
Sun Hao was slightly stunned when he heard this. Surprisingly, he was not insulted for being poor? Big places were different, the quality(2) was really high.
“Rumeng, let’s go in!” Sun Hao led Huo Rumeng into the hall.
In front of Sun Hao was an engraved huge plaque that read, ‘Buy and sell all the treasures in the world!’ Below the plaque, there was a line of small letters: the most reasonable price, the most satisfactory service!
Simple and clear.
When he entered the hall, what was reflected in front of his eyes was a crowd of people, just like entering a big hospital in his previous life.
“Look, Young master(3) Zhan is here!” Someone exclaimed at this time.
“Swish ……” Everyone turned their gaze toward the second floor.
Sun Hao narrowed his eyes, and his eyes couldn’t help but shine.
On the second floor stairs, he saw a man dressed in white holding a fan, smiling at the crowd. The man has a dignified appearance, and his eyebrows contained a heroic spirit(4). He talked in a measured manner, very graceful. One look and it was obvious that he is a very cultured person.
This kind of person might like paintings. Give a painting, no, sell a painting to him, it wasn’t known if he would buy or no.
Wasn’t this a place to collect all the treasures in the world? His paintings, in the eyes of people who like paintings, could be considered priceless! As he thought of this, Sun Hao nodded his head faintly.
“Young Master, he is the one with the highest strength!” Huang Rumeng’s voice came. Sun Hao’s eyes shined even more intensely when he heard this.
“What?! The young master of the Stargazing Tower, Zhan Tianpeng, actually came here!”
“It’s him! No wonder this person is so handsome! I’m lucky to see Zhan Tianpeng, today’s trip is not a waste of time!”
“He’s so young, I wonder if he has a partner yet?”
A group of female cultivators stared dazedly at Zhan Tianpeng, their faces blushing.
Zhan Tianpeng snapped his fan shut and smiled while cupping his fist.
“Thanking everyone for the care and affection, I came to the Western Region to look for the Godly Cunning Immortal, if you have any information, please let me know, I will be grateful!” Zhan Tianpeng said.
When these words came out, the crowd below looked at each other—looking for the Godly Cunning Immortal? We also want to look for Godly Cunning Immortal! How could you find this kind of deity just because you want to? For a while, no one said anything. Zhan Tianpeng smiled awkwardly and continued to speak.
“This is just one of the things, another thing, I have come here to collect all kinds of treasures!”
“Starting from now, the price of the treasures collected by the Stargazing Tower will be increased by 10% from the original price, for three days only!”
When these words came out, the surrounding instantly quietened down. Many people picked their ears, full of disbelief. Stargazing Tower already collected their treasures at the fairest price.
More than 90% of the cultivators who obtain treasures would sell them to Stargazing Tower. Safe to say that the Stargazing Tower almost monopolized the cultivation-related sales in Tianluo Continent.
Stargazing Tower was making so much profit, naturally there were forces that were scheming against them. However, the forces that plotted against Stargazing Tower all disappeared quietly.
One hundred years ago.
The Ancient Family of the Central Region Holy Land, the Gu family, was not considered an evil family name. Their family land in a predicament as they then thought to strike out against the Stargazing Tower.
In that battle, they did win, obtaining countless treasures from the Stargazing Tower. However, they were not even able to be happy for a day. On the morning of the third day, the entire Gu family disappeared without a single person left. No one knew how they disappeared or where they had gone.
On the third day, the Stargazing Tower opened again. The Four Great Families of the Holy Land became Three Great Families from then on. Since then, no one dared to go against the Stargazing Tower again.
“Young master Zhan, are these words true?” There was a touch of disbelief that appeared on someone’s face.
“Oh, am I, Zhan Tianpeng, someone who tells lies?” Zhan Tianpeng pretended to be angry.
“Young master Zhan, you misunderstand, it’s just that your words are a little scary, making it hard to believe it!”
“Everyone, if you want to sell something, you can go to the counter now! Limited to only three days! You can bring any treasure, my Stargazing TowerI could afford to purchase them! If you think the treasure is extremely valuable, you can come to me on the eighth floor!” After saying that, Zhan Tianpeng clapped his closed fan to his palm, smiled, and went upstairs.
The crowd then reacted with a series of shouts.
“Great, I happen to have a few things to sell!”
“Don’t crowd everyone, line up and come one by one!”
“Don’t worry, there are three days, everyone doesn’t need to rush!”
The employee maintained the hall, and order was quickly restored.
Among them, there was no one going upstairs.
Sun Hao looked up to the eighth floor and smiled faintly, “This Zhan Tianpeng is looking for the Godly Cunning Immortal, then I have to get on good terms with him even more! When the time comes, it will definitely be much easier for me to meet Godly Cunning Immortal! He should have liked calligraphy and painting, right? Worth a try!”
After thinking this way, Sun Hao looked back at Huang Rumeng, “Rumeng, let’s go upstairs!”
“Yes!”
On the way, there was no one to stop him, and Sun Hao easily walked to the eighth floor. However, there was a long line in front of Zhan Tianpeng’s room.
“So many people?”
Sun Hao’s face showed a hint of displeasure. The most annoying thing was the queue. Even after transmigrating, he still encountered a queue. Troublesome!
Huang Rumeng looked at Sun Hao, walked straight to the front-most cultivator, and took out ten top-grade spirit stones, “I want this position.”
“What, top grade spirit stones?” The cultivator’s eyes glowed as he took the top-grade spirit stones, “Lady, please take it!” After saying that, he quickly backed up and lined up to the end.
“Young Master, please!”
“Rumeng, this ……”
Sun Hao showed a touch of embarrassment.
He made a woman pay for him again, this soft rice – really fragrant!
Sun Hao walked to the forefront, and Rumeng Huang accompanied him.
“Being rich is great ah? He can even buy queueing position!”
“Very sour, right? It’s really great to be rich, furthermore, you can do whatever you want!”
“Hmph, a mortal carrying so many spirit stones, be careful not to encounter misfortune!”
A group of cultivators whispered the sour smell kept coming. Huang Rumeng coldly swept her eyes, releasing a fracture of her aura.
“Buzz ……” Like a tsunami, this aura pressed the group of cultivators. At this moment, the cultivators’ faces changed drastically, cold sweat flowing steadily.
How was this a mortal? This was clearly an incomparably terrifying figure! So scary! They lowered their heads and did not dare to breathe loudly.
“Creak!” The door opened. Zhan Tianpeng shook his fan and walked out of his room. Behind him were two old men. These two people had strength that was not weaker than Zhan Tianpeng.
Zhan Tianpeng looked at Sun Hao and Huang Rumeng and frowned. Mortals? Both of them were mortals? That’s impossible! The aura emitted just now was incomparably terrifying. In that case, he couldn’t see through the two people in front of him.
These visitors were bad! Although the Stargazing Tower was not afraid, but he was afraid ah! For this kind of character, killing him would be very easy. Even if the forces behind him could take revenge, so what? What was their purpose for coming here? As he thought so, Zhan Tianpeng looked at Sun Hao’s party.
According to his years of experience, this man and woman, it was obvious that the male was the one in charge. The corners of Zhan Tianpeng’s mouth rose up, revealing a standard smile(5).
“This gentleman, I wonder for what reason are you looking for me?”
- 望星楼(Wang Xing Lou), lit. Star Gaze Place.
- This quality refers to morality, intelligence, and physicality.
- They call Sun Hao as 公子(Son of nobility) and this guy as 少(Son of the wealthy family). Both are usually translated as Young Master.
- Praise for male means bold and unrestrained, vigorous.
- Eight teeth smile. According to Baidu, a standard smile is the one where eight teeth are shown.
