"Please take a look, Master. The male one is called 'Wild Lord' and the female is called 'Taboo Observation'. The robe is named 'Changli', meaning 'long separation'. This seal is the Wild Lord's, matching the one you have, the Taboo Observation Chapter, they are a pair."

The shopkeeper of Linglong Pavilion held a tray, presenting a square stone seal. The seal was roughly an inch in size, made from the twisted beak of a scarlet bird, and when pressed into a clay cover, it left the ancient seal characters 'Jiuxiao'.

On closer inspection, it was clearly not a bird. The engraving on the seal showed a single-winged, single-eyed Union Bird, just like the one on Huangfu Yi's stone tablet, only this one had scarlet wings, while Huangfu Yi's had blue feathers, truly a pair.

The shopkeeper flatteringly explained,

"The Concord Wingbird can connect destinies, flying and feeding together without parting. Even if one token is destroyed, it can be reborn and recast.

With the Taboo Observation Chapter, you are the true master of Jiuxiao Linglong Pavilion. All the treasures in this building are at your disposal. All expenditures and supplies, just give a word, and we will immediately prepare everything for you."

"Uh, really...?"

To be honest, at this moment, Huangfu Yi was already a bit dumbstruck.

What exactly was going on? Wasn't this task supposed to just swap a hard drive? How did he become the master? Is someone scheming against him again?

Yet the shopkeeper was extremely respectful, explaining,

"Master, you may not be aware, but Linglong Pavilion is an old establishment of Qianyang, originally crafting gold and silver utensils for the clan of Qian Country. Later, with the protection of the Immortal, we have been offering tribute to the Mystic Sect for 6,400 years.

The Immortal had instructed us to prevent disciples from being troubled by livelihood issues, hindering their cultivation studies. Hence, we Outer Door offerers were ordered to conduct commerce and accumulate resources.

Therefore, every few hundred or thousand years, whenever there is a disciple inheriting the Immortal Cultivation Path, born to undergo training, carrying the Taboo Observation Chapter and Wild Lord's seal, they can enter our Linglong treasure vault.

Heavenly Materials Treasures, resources, use what you need, all for cultivation."

"I see..."

Could it be that the immortal behind Linglong Pavilion is that old Immortal Bone from the Immortal Tomb? Is this enterprise the cultivation resources passed down to subsequent generations?

Also, they even made the token into Concord Wingbirds? Are these items meant for his Daoist companion? Uh, could it be that the lady boss he met earlier is the reincarnation of that woman in the mural? Didn't they say her soul had been scattered...

For a while, Huangfu Yi was full of doubts, utterly bewildered, pondering over and over, yet he couldn't understand the cause and effect.

However, the shopkeeper, being shrewd, knew that empty words wouldn't convince anyone, so he tentatively asked,

"Why don't I take you to see the storeroom first?"

"Uh, might as well have a look."

"Very well, Master, please come inside."

The shopkeeper, recognizing Huangfu Yi as the current generation's master coming forth, didn't conceal anything and familiarly led him to a large cypress wood door with gilded bronze nails. He offered the Wild Lord's seal on a yellow talisman, then slapped the talisman on the door, seemingly unlocking some seal.

As the door opened, Huangfu Yi was suddenly blinded by a hall full of golden gleam, his eyes dazzled. Blinking, he saw under the ever-burning candles on golden candlesticks, mountains of gold and silver, glazed jade, sparkling gold lights, and the luminous Treasure Tree.

Looking closer, box upon box, hang upon hang, mounds of Divine Gang coins piled like hills, the strings tying the coins had rotted and scattered on the floor. On rows of white jade shelves, various golden-threaded ornaments, jeweled drinking vessels, colorful bejeweled hairpins, large jade-carved pagodas, dragon-patterned jade bracelets studded with emerald gold, gold cups inlaid with glaze, silver-scaled rhinoceros horn cups, crystal boxes, white jade basins filled with luminous jade, large pearls, luxurious silk as thin as cicada wings, multicolored treasure light of bracelets and rings, dazzling and endless...

Huangfu Yi was momentarily speechless, turning to look behind him. Seeing such a treasure vault protected by just one door, he couldn't help but ask,

"Are these things... just left like this?"

"Even though they've been treasured for 6,400 years, they're still just mortal world objects."

The shopkeeper was quite open-minded, introducing,

"Qianyang City has been peaceful for years, who dares to cause trouble under the eyes of Mountain Man.

Moreover, gold and silver have little use for cultivators, and mining for spirit stones in the mountains is common. They're softer than iron or steel for making weapons, though their appearance is more attractive.

At Linglong Pavilion, we've been in the jewelry business in Qianyang City for many years. The skills of our craftsmen have been handed down for generations, often crafting for Gate Valve noble families inside and outside the mountains, so these gathered sample scraps are little sold, naturally accumulating here.

Usually, only when a Mountain Man needs to create a personal Magic Artifact or storage jewelry, do they come to our pavilion to select some ornaments, engrave talismans, and wear them for a more aesthetic look.

If the Master fancies any, please feel free to take them."

"No need..."

In that case, upon closer look, although treasures abound in this vault, in the end, they're just treasures. There's barely any genuine Magic Artifact, at most they can only be considered raw materials. Not just in the system's rating, but even Huangfu Yi doesn't hold them in high regard.

After all, trivial gold can't be used for cultivation, nor for extending life. Holding them or piling them up only takes up space, what's the use of it then?

"Master, the cultivation materials are stored here, with the Taboo Observation Chapter in hand, you may enter and take what you need."

Then the shopkeeper led Huangfu Yi deeper into the treasure vault, pointed to an item by the wall for him to see, and then took his leave, allowing Huangfu Yi to choose freely.
