Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Shen Tian stared at Little Spirit Fairy, as he wanted to see just how this girl was special.
“Your Highness, you’re interested in her?” Eunuch Gui suggested, “How about just bringing her back to the palace? Concubine Lan would definitely be happy as she rests in peace if she knew Your Highness will get married.” 4
Qin Gao also nodded his head and hurriedly gave his opinion. “That’s right. That Little Spirit Fairy has peerless beauty. She’s a perfect match with Your Highness.” He could see how Shen Tian was observing Little Spirit Fairy. 4
Qin Gao had already started to cultivate the Demon Book of Hyuga and improved greatly. After coming in contact with the cultivation world, Qin Gao had once again understood how fearsome and precious that cultivation technique was.
However, at the same time, Qin Gao became more and more anxious. His Highness had saved his life and even taught him such a one-of-a-kind sutra. He was unable to repay this kindness.
If His Highness makes me dedicate myself to him, what should I do!? 10
That was why Qin Gao had hoped for Shen Tian to set his sights on Little Spirit Fairy with all his heart—it would be better for everyone. 2
Of course, Shen Tian did not know what Qin Gao was thinking. Had he known, he would definitely eliminate him even if he was blessed by providence!
…
Currently, people were flooding the doors of the Sky Spirit Pavilion.
The three of them had a hard time as they squeezed in the crowd. It was only after they had taken out a few ingots of silver that they snatched a good spot and were finally able to see Little Spirit Fairy’s appearance.
If Little Spirit Fairy’s back could make one’s thoughts go wild, then Little Spirit Fairy’s front was enough to make people feel so inferior that not even a hint of improper thoughts would appear in their minds.
She wore an azure green dress, and her corset drew the curve of her thin waist, which could be held with one hand. 16
She looked light and graceful, resembling a fairy that had descended to the world. 3
Meanwhile, her appearance was so pure and beautiful that it was like the heavens’ most exquisite masterpiece. 5
Her gaze, her smile, just a look from her, and it was like she was shining. 1
Her appearance could even be compared to Shen Tian! 2
Surprisingly, not everyone wished to see Little Spirit Fairy—for example, the Sky Spirit Pavilion’s Shopkeeper Song!
“Fairy, why are you here again?” When Shopkeeper Song saw Little Spirit Fairy, his smiling face was even uglier than crying. “The Exquisite Sapphire Tripod that you obtained the last time made me distressed for a total of half a month!” 4
Little Spirit Fairy smiled slightly, mesmerizing countless people.
“I heard Shopkeeper Song had another batch of good quality Spirit Ores, so I specially came to take a look.
“Since the shop is not closed, it should be open for business. Why? Does Shopkeeper Song not welcome me?”
“Of course not, how would I dare! I just hope Fairy can be lenient on me.”
Shopkeeper Song wiped his sweat. There were really few people in Myriad Spirit Garden that would dare to offend Little Spirit Fairy.
If he dared to not let Little Spirit Fairy enter his shop, then those crazy fans would even block the entrance of his shop!
Little Spirit Fairy slowly walked into the Sky Spirit Pavilion, and her eyes scanned the shelves’ rows filled with Spirit Ores.
Her eyes were vaguely shining with a golden light.
Instantly, exclamations could be heard from the crowd.
“Eyes shining with golden light! Is it possible this is Spirit Ore Appraisers’ supreme godly technique—Ore Piercing Eyes?” 6
“Legends say that when one masters the Ore Piercing Eyes, then all ores will be clear as the sky is blue. One could see through the ores without any obstacles! It could be called invincible!” 4
“To be able to learn such a godly technique at just 16 years old, she’s indeed Little Spirit Fairy!” 3
After listening to the crowd’s exclamations, Shen Tian seemed to be deep in thought.
Is it because Little Spirit Fairy relies on her ability to choose ores? She’s not relying on luck like everyone else… Is that why I’m unable to see her fortuitous opportunity? 1
However, such an explanation still feels a little forced!
As Shen Tian was feeling doubtful, he stared straight at Little Spirit Fairy.
She had already found the Spirit Ore she wanted in the Sky Spirit Pavilion.
“I’ve finished choosing, just this one!”
That ore was approximately the size of a person’s head, grayish-black, unremarkable, and completely dull. It was not even placed on the shelves!
The price placed in front of it was 15 Spirit Stones. Even if it was converted to silvers, it was only 15,000 taels—extremely cheap.
“This…”
The instant Shopkeeper Song saw Little Spirit Fairy making her decision, he panicked.
She picked such a big one?!
Unfortunately for him, Little Spirit Fairy had already taken 15 Spirit Stones out of her purse and placed them on the counter.
She smiled gently and said, “Once chosen and paid, it’s mine now. Whether I gain something or make a loss, there’s no refund. Shopkeeper Song, you can’t renege on it!”
“Alright…”
Shopkeeper Song let out a sigh as if he knew it was unavoidable that he would make a loss this time.
“Fairy, are you going to cut it open yourself, or should I arrange for someone to help you cut it?”
In Spirit Ore shops, cutting open ores was also a form of craftsmanship. For the same Spirit Ore, if it was cut open properly and the Spirit Qi was perfectly retained, then it could be sold at the maximum price.
Meanwhile, if it was cut wrongly, then it might even damage the Spirit Stones’ core. In turn, that would allow Spirit Qi to leak out. It was impossible to contain it for a long time, so its value would drastically drop.
Therefore, the shop would also arrange for professional ore-cutters to help buyers cut open the ores they bought.
Naturally, such a service was not for free. If valuable Spirit Stones were obtained, the Spirit Ore shop would need to charge a 10% fee of the profit as the commission for cutting open the ore.
That was also one of the shops’ main sources of income. One could earn a fortune, but the shop would never make a loss.
Little Spirit Fairy put away her purse and said, “Shopkeeper Song, you should know my rule. I only choose and never cut open myself.”
After hearing that Little Spirit Fairy did not plan to personally cut open the ore, Shopkeeper Song’s expression became brighter.
Well, the shop would definitely sell such a big ore sooner or later, so it’s the same as selling it to anyone. If we sell to Little Spirit Fairy, we can at least earn the 10% commission.
“Fairy, please wait a moment. I’ll immediately arrange for the best ore-cutter to help you cut open your ore.”
Shortly after, the outer layers of the ore were carefully removed. When the remaining ore was the size of a fist, a shred of dark green light shone through the ore.
Its color and luster made one comfortable by just looking at it.
“She did it, she did it!”
“She’s indeed Little Spirit Fairy! This is a raw Spirit Stone the size of a fist! It can be cut into at least 100 Spirit Stones!”
“What the heck do you know!? A raw Spirit Stone that is as large as a fist? There might be Spirit Crystals inside!”
“If there really are Spirit Crystals inside, just one would be worth 1,000 Spirit Stones!”
“I’m so jealous!”
…
Finally, the ore’s outer skin was completely removed, and a crystal clear dark green raw Spirit Stone, which looked like jade, appeared before everyone.
In the raw Spirit Stone’s center, a faint luster could be seen from the green-bean-sized crystal.
“Spirit Crystals! Spirit Crystals were really produced!”
Shopkeeper Song put on a long face. “It looks like Spirit Crystals were produced within the raw Spirit Stone. The price is estimated to be between 800–1,200 Spirit Stones.”
Little Spirit Fairy smiled and said, “I’ll just count it as 800 Spirit Stones and sell it to Shopkeeper Song!”
Shopkeeper Song’s face was instantly filled with surprise. “Then I won’t collect Fairy’s commission fee. Please, wait a moment as I go and retrieve the agreed amount.”
“As expected of Little Spirit Fairy, she’s really generous.”
“Shopkeeper Song, you should be content! If you let Little Spirit Fairy pick the ores, then you can even earn 400–500 Spirit Stones.”
“That’s right. Only my Little Spirit Fairy would be so nice and generous. If it were others, they wouldn’t even let you earn half a Spirit Stone!”
“What do you mean, your Little Spirit Fairy? You’re thinking of bullsh*t!”
“Why? What are you looking at? Are you trying to pick a fight?” 2
…
Although the atmosphere was gradually becoming intense, Little Spirit Fairy was still calm and collected. It was as if even the fact of obtaining hundreds of Spirit Stones could not affect her.
She was as aloof as a fairy.
“Shopkeeper Song is very generous in doing business. I will come again next time.”
Upon seeing how Shopkeeper Song’s face darkened again, Little Spirit Fairy covered her mouth and smiled lightly.
“Also, there’s quite the number of good items within the ores that Shopkeeper Song has bought this time!” 1
Little Spirit Fairy turned and left leisurely.
“I had once vowed that I would only cut open one ore per day, so I will not pick another one today. 3
“If anyone is interested, you can try your luck, and maybe you might chance upon a fortuitous encounter!” 4
Before Little Spirit Fairy’s voice faded, she had already disappeared from everyone’s line of sight. 1
As she flicked her sleeve, she did not bring away even a wisp of dust.
