Chapter 257
“I won’t sell him, no matter how much you offer,” Jiang Chen said firmly.
The girl had fair skin and thin lips. Her eyebrows were arched, her mouth small. She was a lovely girl.
Not until then did she set her eyes on Jiang Chen. She was surprised at the refusal, but she found it interesting.
“Are you sure?” Her voice sounded beautiful. She was smiling.
“I’m sure.”
“What about 10 million low-grade yuan stones?”
The girl was beaming, looking at Jiang Chen slyly.
“And you?”
“Jiang Chen.”
“And?”
Gao Tian’ai was surprised that Jiang Chen had only told her his name without mentioning his background.
“Okay. Let’s go.”
Then she took Jiang Chen to the Sacred Wind Chamber of Commerce.
With the introduction of Gao Tian’ai, Jiang Chen came to learn this was one of the biggest chambers of commerce in the Sacred City.
“I can’t guarantee you’ll find what you want here, but if you can’t find it here, you won’t find it in other parts of the Nine Heavens Continent, either,” Gao Tian’ai said.
The chamber of commerce was full of people, very busy.
It was much bigger than what Jiang Chen had imagined. There were six floors. On each floor, there were a great variety of goods.
The price and rarity of the goods were different on each floor.
“How much are the spiritual herbs you want to buy?” Gao Tian’ai asked.
She would know which floor they should go to based on the price.
“Let’s go to the top floor first,” Jiang Chen said.
Gao Tian’ai didn’t hesitate. She took him to the fifth floor and said, “The sixth floor is for auction. Usually, it’s not open.”
Jiang Chen found a bizarre scene on the fifth floor. More than half of the shops on this floor had nothing to do with practice, but they were the most popular ones.
There were many customers in a shop called Battle Suit. It was a clothes shop.
There were suits for adventures. The men’s suits looked handsome and the women’s looked exquisite. Besides the good design, they could be used as spiritual weapons, too.
They could be called spiritual suits, very similar to spiritual armor, but a spiritual suit was ten times the price of a spiritual armor set, and its defense was worse.
“Just because they’re pretty?” Jiang Chen asked curiously.
“Of course not. The spiritual suits sold in this shop are all designed by Master Yun Lan. It represents good taste!” Gao Tian’ai said.
“Taste?”
Jiang Chen shook his head. The Sacred City was the biggest city in the Nine Heavens Continent. It was so rich that the people here were questing for different things.
Suddenly, they heard a woman’s harsh voice.
“Since when does Gao Tian’ai have a boy-toy?”
Some rich ladies walked out of the shop. They happened to see Gao Tian’ai and Jiang Chen.
They sized Jiang Chen up with their sharp eyes, then gave a meaningful smile.
Jiang Chen realized that in a place like the Sacred City, one’s social position could be decided by his clothes.
He didn’t feel anything weird when he was walking with Gao Tian’ai, but the local people could see they weren’t a good match.
On the other hand, Jiang Chen was young and handsome, so many people had assumed he was Gao Tian’ai’s boy-toy.
“So that was why people were giving me strange looks on our way here.” Jiang Chen found it both funny and annoying.
