Luo Die took the tree root he handed over and seemed to have vaguely understood something. Xiao Chen said, “It’s naturally impossible to conceal it from the people in front of the Golden Feather Pavilion, but what’s the difficulty in concealing it from the other employees? Especially when people see money, they are often mesmerized by it … Let’s go, go back to the city.”

On the second day, early in the morning, there were people gathered outside Golden Feather Tower. There were people from inside Sand Wind City, as well as people from some powers near Sand Wind City. They came here today to exchange for the things that their sect needed.

Xiao Chen had already disguised himself as an old man. He was dressed in a black robe. After entering the Golden Feather Pavilion, he immediately found the clerk in charge of the change. When the clerk heard that he wanted to change his Hundred Refinements Root, he immediately changed his attitude and smiled respectfully, “Old Master, take your seat!”

“No …”

Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and stroked his white beard. He looked at him and said leisurely, “Old man, I want to inspect the goods first.”

“This …”

The two attendants couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed when they heard this. The person on the left said, “Old sir, I’m afraid this isn’t possible. You should know the rules of the Golden Feather Pavilion …”

At this point, he hurriedly raised his head and shook his hand, “But please rest assured, old gentleman, everything that enters the Golden Feather Pavilion is absolutely true. Could it be that you suspect our Golden Feather Pavilion …”

“Cut the crap.”

Xiao Chen waved his sleeve and said impatiently, “If I can’t even look at it, then I won’t change it. In any case, the Golden Feather Pavilion doesn’t have a Hundred Refinements Root, but only I have this thousand-year-old Dragon Tendon. Forget it, Little Die, let’s go …”

“Old sir, wait!”

Seeing that he was about to leave, the two waiters became anxious. If the Hundred Refinements Root could not be exchanged, not to mention the loss of remuneration, the reputation of the Golden Feather Pavilion would also decline. Since they had accepted the order, they had no choice but to continue. Now that they had finally encountered someone who had traded the thousand-year-old dragon tendons for it, how could they let it go?

After an incense stick.

“Old sir, please.”

The two attendants respectfully invited Xiao Chen and Luo Die into an attic. There was a Old man Zi Yi sitting inside. When they saw someone enter, they immediately stood up and greeted him with a smile, “Fellow Daoist, please come in …”

In their eyes, those who could take out the thousand-year-old dragon tendons were naturally extraordinary people. The Golden Feather Pavilion naturally wanted to rope them in. Xiao Chen slowly walked forward and glanced at Luo Die. “Little Die, take out the dragon tendons,” he said.

“Yes …”

Luo Die took out a box from her battle robe and opened it. She casually formed an incantation. The “Dragon Tendon” inside immediately flew out and magnified it a lot. The specks of white light on the box shone brightly throughout the room.

“This …”

Old man Zi Yi and the two servants were stunned. Especially at this moment, the aura of divine power that permeated the entire room caused them to sigh in admiration. Was this the Millennium Dragon Tendon?

Of course, they couldn’t tell if the dragon tendons were real or fake, and they wouldn’t go to the front to appraise them. When they went to the front, someone would naturally be responsible for appraising whether the dragon tendons were real or fake.

Old man Zi Yi was stunned for a moment before he regained his senses and immediately asked the two attendants to take out a sandalwood box from the cabinet behind him.

Xiao Chen opened the box and saw that there was something that looked like Polygonum multiflorum inside. It was glowing with a faint red light. Xiao Chen held the box in his hand and took a deep breath. He closed his eyes and said, “Incense is 30% thick but not greasy. It is indeed a high-grade Hundred Refinements Root …”

After saying that, he returned the box. Old man Zi Yi took the box he handed over and finally heaved a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to put the box back in place, Xiao Chen suddenly picked up the box containing the Dragon Tendon and handed it to him. “This old man won’t take the thousand-year-old Dragon Tendon away. Store it here. You can take it out together later.”

“This …”

Old man Zi Yi was stunned for a moment. The thousand-year-old dragon tendon was worth more than ten times more than a hundred refined roots. He couldn’t afford to lose it. He immediately put the box in his hand. He took the box from Xiao Chen and carefully handed it to the two attendants, “Put it on the top floor.”

“Yes …”

The two attendants were also cautious, afraid of any mistakes. They went to put the box on the top floor of the cabinet. Old man Zi Yi turned around and was just about to get the box from before when Xiao Chen said, “I have something else to do.”

Old man Zi Yi was slightly stunned and immediately regained his senses, “Fellow Daoist, please say that if the matter of changing things today were to happen, there would definitely be no mistakes. Fellow Daoist, you can rest assured …”

“No.”

Xiao Chen looked at him indifferently and slowly said, “There are countless thousand-year-old dragon tendons like this in this old man’s family. I’m not here today for a hundred refined roots …”

Hearing this, the two waiters and Old man Zi Yi were stunned. They stared at him blankly. After a long time, Old man Zi Yi said, “Fellow Daoist … What do you mean?”

Xiao Chen turned around and said indifferently, “I heard that the Hundred Refinements Root of the Golden Feather Pavilion has been unable to be exchanged for it for a long time. Then, this thousand-year-old Dragon Tendon will be treated as a gift from me. Next, I have many of these Dragon Tendons that I want to store with you in exchange for what my family needs …”

“This …”

Old man Zi Yi came to a sudden realization. He was shocked and immediately said to the two attendants, “What are you waiting for? Why aren’t you showing Senior some tea?”

“No need, this … is a deposit.”

Xiao Chen took out a spirit stone and placed it on the table. He glanced at Luo Die and said indifferently, “Little Die, let’s go.”

Old man Zi Yi looked at the extraordinary spirit stones on the table before he reacted. He hurriedly said to the two attendants, “Send Senior to the Heavenly Throne!”

Even after a long time, his back was still covered in cold sweat. Fortunately, he did not refuse this person to come to “inspect the goods” just now. One must know that there was more than one Chamber of Commerce like Golden Feather Tower near Sand Wind City. If this person brought these precious dragon tendons to other Chambers of Commerce, how many customers would the Golden Feather Tower gradually lose? I can’t even imagine …

If a Chamber of Commerce wanted to grow stronger, it would need someone to exchange precious cultivation resources. If the resources were ordinary, or if they could not be exchanged for a long time, then the number of people coming would only decrease.

Old man Zi Yi wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. He shook his head and smiled. He turned around and picked up the box containing the Hundred Refinements Root. He put it back in place and waited for the change to begin in half an hour.

Outside, the two waiters became even more respectful than before. Their faces were full of smiles, “Senior, please take the Heavenly Seat.”

“No need, this old man doesn’t like to be high-profile. Let’s go to that ordinary seat.”

As Xiao Chen spoke, he walked towards the ordinary seats. There were already many people on the seats, and the two attendants didn’t dare to neglect them. They immediately went forward to welcome him.

When he got to his seat, Xiao Chen glanced at the two of them. Seeing that they were still standing by the side, he said indifferently, “You don’t have to be so reserved. Just do your things …”

“Yes, yes …”

The two attendants immediately smiled and nodded their heads. Anyway, standing beside such a big senior, they also felt uncomfortable. They simply went to another place to greet other guests.

A moment later, Xiao Chen sent a secret message to Luo Die beside him, “There’s less than half an hour left. Quickly leave the city.”

“What about you?”

“The people from the Golden Feather Pavilion are watching me from the shadows. If I leave, I will definitely arouse suspicion. Don’t worry about me. Quickly leave the city and wait for me at that place last night.”

“Alright … you must be careful.”

Luo Die frowned slightly and immediately turned around to leave. It was obvious that she had already quietly switched the Hundred Refinements Root while Xiao Chen and Old man Zi Yi were “negotiating” in the pavilion.
