Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Chapter 14: Chapter 14: Myriad Treasures Pavilion

The Myriad Treasures Pavilion was resplendent, its magnificence deterring ordinary folk at a single glance. Su Han strode right in. Although he was no celebrity, he was still a prince, so the female attendants guarding the door did not dare to stop him.

”Your Highness the Ninth Prince, what would you like to purchase?” a manager with a goatee came forward to greet him, a wide smile on his face.

The news of Su Han being deposed was known to only a few people. After all, stripping a prince of his Dragon Soul was hardly good news, and the Empress had already ordered it to be suppressed. As a result, very few outsiders knew of his current situation.

”I have a relative who has suffered severe blood loss, which has damaged her foundation. Do you have any treasures that can replenish blood and vital energy, or nurture life force? The higher the level, the better.”

Su Han didn’t waste words and got straight to the point. A visit to the Myriad Treasures Pavilion was for one of two things: buying or selling. He decided to see if they had what he needed before considering whether he had to sell any of his own treasures.

The manager’s eyes lit up. Recognizing a major client had arrived, he began his sales pitch with enthusiasm. ”Your Highness has come at the perfect time! Our shop just received a new shipment, and it includes a Spirit-Nurturing Flower. This flower is a Superior Grade Spiritual Medicine that nurtures the spiritual soul. Its medicinal properties are gentle, making it an excellent remedy for severe injuries.”

”Bring it out for me to see.” Su Han was not swayed by the manager’s flowery pitch. He wouldn’t believe it until he saw the item with his own eyes, knowing full well that merchants often wore friendly masks to hide their black hearts.

”Please wait a moment, Your Highness. I will go and fetch it at once.” The manager beckoned to a comely female attendant, instructing her to serve Su Han tea while he hurried off to the storeroom.

The Myriad Treasures Pavilion had nine floors, each selling different types of items. The first floor was for the general public, offering a wide variety of affordable treasures renowned for their good value. The higher one went, the more expensive and superior the items became. Of course, if one didn’t wish to browse, they could do as Su Han had: state their needs directly and have a manager or attendant find the item for them. This was far more convenient than searching on one’s own.

Soon enough, the manager returned, holding a Jade Box. This box was crafted from Spirit Jade, which prevented the medicinal potency of its contents from dissipating. The box itself was quite valuable.

”Your Highness the Ninth Prince, this is the Spirit-Nurturing Flower.” The manager carefully placed the Jade Box on the table and then opened it using a special technique.

Instantly, a rich floral aroma filled the air. It was not overpowering. On the contrary, it had a refreshing effect that cleared the mind and lifted the spirit.

The Spirit-Nurturing Flower was only the size of a palm. It was entirely pink with five petals and looked exceptionally fresh and vibrant, like a pure maiden waiting in her chambers.

The fragrance was suffused with vibrant Spiritual Energy, making one feel as if they were standing in a sea of flowers.

Although Su Han didn’t know if the Spirit-Nurturing Flower would be effective for Fairy Sister Yun Xian, it was undoubtedly a healing Spiritual Medicine.

”How much for this Spirit-Nurturing Flower?” Su Han was very satisfied with the flower and decided to buy it.

”Your Highness, the market price for an ordinary Superior Grade Spiritual Medicine is around 10,000 Spirit Stones,” the manager explained, not hiding anything. ”This Spirit-Nurturing Flower, however, is quite rare and in short supply, so its price is naturally higher. Our Myriad Treasures Pavilion has priced it at 20,000 Spirit Stones.”

Twenty thousand Spirit Stones is indeed expensive for a Superior Grade Spiritual Medicine, but given the rarity of the Spirit-Nurturing Flower and the prestigious reputation of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, the price is acceptable.

However, just as he was about to make the purchase, an unwelcome voice suddenly sounded from behind him.

”I offer 30,000 Spirit Stones. I’ll take that Spirit-Nurturing Flower!”
