Chapter 365 - Level 7The Gesun Trading Company was one of the few large trading companies in the entire Tiger City that opened all night. Because there were very few customers at night, the trading company only had a few Barbarians guarding the night, as well as a few tellers on duty.
It wasn"t that the Gesun Trading Company was careless, but that they were the largest trading company in Tiger City. Even if they didn"t have any guards, no one in Tiger City would dare to cause trouble or steal from them.
The first floor of the Gesun Trading Company was very large, and it was filled with a myriad of display cabinets that were arranged in an orderly manner. Most of the first floor was filled with ordinary jewelry, and there was no lack of low-grade beast crystals and cloud artifacts.
Seeing Xiang Yun walk in, the two barbarian storekeepers from the first floor greeted him. Xiang Yun smiled as he responded to them, looking rather familiar with them. Xiang Yun wandered around the first floor, but did not discover anything.
"I"m going to patrol up there. Both of you, help me keep an eye on the door!" Xiang Yun said to the two of them very casually.
"You just came back from drinking and you want to be lazy again? You must be going up to take a nap, right?" The two teased."Haha, I"ll treat you guys to a drink when I get back. Help me keep an eye out for them." Xiang Yun pretended to be calm as he smiled at the two of them, and the two of them agreed without the slightest hesitation.
The Gesun Trading Company had a total of seven floors. These buildings were shaped like towers, and as they climbed higher and higher, the area became smaller. The less items they displayed, the more precious they became.
Xiang Yun came to the second floor, which was still very wide. There were two shop attendants in the hall, and the items displayed at the counter had also improved in quality. There were even cultivation techniques and martial skills sold here, but most of them were low grade martial skills and cultivation techniques.
Xiang Yun"s Divine Sense was quietly activated as he walked over, scanning the surroundings but still did not discover anything. Xiang Yun continued using the old method, pretending to patrol the area as he greeted the two tellers and headed upwards.
Xiang Yun continuously probed to the fifth level. Other than the increasingly good quality goods and the increasingly rich spiritual energy, Xiang Yun was still unable to discover anything.
It seemed that the Gesun Trading Company was really just a large trading company. They operated at a proper price without anything strange about it. Naturally, Xiang Yun would not give it up so easily. Instead, he continued to investigate.On the way to the sixth floor, as soon as he stepped foot on it, Xiang Yun could feel that the cloud energy in the air was actually several times richer than on the fifth floor. It was as if there was a gigantic spirit array here that was gathering all the cloud energy in the air.
However, when he looked at the goods displayed in the hall, he instantly understood. A large number of cloud crystals were also displayed in the display cases on the sixth floor. In the middle of the hall, there were even a few crystal like exquisite cloud crystals displayed by shopkeeper.
The surface of the cloud crystal was covered with dense fog. The cloud power surrounding it made the cloud power in the hall on the sixth floor much thicker than other places.
As for the items in the display cases on the sixth floor, they were all higher level monster crystals. There were even some general level cloud beast crystals, naturally there were also some cloud weapons, Xuan grade cultivation techniques, martial skills, and even pills.
Although the size of the sixth floor was several times smaller than the first floor, the value of the goods here was over a hundred times more. The guards had also increased in number.
Even Xiang Yun, who had a rather high standards of vision, felt a little dazzled by the sight of these things in the hall. He was slightly moved. If he could take everything away, his own sect would have enough resources to replenish itself.Although the Gesun Trading Company appeared to be on guard, he still would not believe it even if he killed Xiang Yun. With such a large trading company, they would only be guarded by a few Goliath tellers and shop a.s.sistants. There would definitely be some hidden experts inside!
Xiang Yun once again pretended to patrol the room, not revealing even the slightest bit of himself as he cast his gaze towards the staircase in the corner of the sixth floor. The entrance to the seventh floor was rather hidden and did not have any luxurious decorations, it was made up of a rather special kind of dark metal.
From the looks of it, the two of them appeared to be ordinary tellers. However, looking at their stance, which was as steady as a mountain, and the throbbing of their temples, Xiang Yun"s divine sense swept over them."Hmm?"
Xiang Yun"s heart skipped a beat. It was actually two Yellow Cloud realm barbarians guarding the door. Just what was on the first and seventh floors? Subconsciously, he walked towards the staircase, trying to keep his expression as calm as possible.
However, just as they reached the staircase, two large hands instantly appeared in front of Xiang Yun, blocking his way!
"What for?" The two barbarian men stared sharply at Xiang Yun as they asked.Xiang Yun was stunned for a moment before he immediately explained with a smile, "Eh, I"m going up to patrol for a while. Otherwise, I won"t be able to sneak into the trading company as a thief."
Naturally, Xiang Yun"s thieves were calling out to catch them. However, these two barbarians did not buy Xiang Yun"s money. Instead, they frowned and said, "b.a.s.t.a.r.d, how could someone of your status be able to enter the seventh floor so easily? Leave quickly!"
"Hiss!"
Hearing this, Xiang Yun subconsciously looked up the stairs, his heart filled with doubt. Could it be that the seventh floor of the Gesun Trading Company wasn"t a place to store goods? There were actually two Yellow Cloud Realm martial artists guarding the entrance. There must be some sort of mystery within. Xiang Yun immediately became curious.
"What are you blanking out for? Hurry up and get lost!" The two barbarians shouted impatiently."Hey, I"m going to f * * k off now. I"m going to f * * k off now."
Xiang Yun was worried that he would be exposed, so he immediately turned around, looking at the guards in the hall, acting as if he was going to leave.
At the same time, a flash of light shone from his left middle finger. A small wine jar appeared in his hand.
Xiang Yun had actually returned. He turned back to the two of them with a fawning expression and said, "Hey, two big brothers. What exactly is up to on the seventh floor of our trading firm?" Tell me about it. "The duo had not expected Xiang Yun to still be unwilling to give up, and a sullen look appeared in their eyes as they said, "Where did all this rubbish come from? Scram! If you dare hit me again, I"ll break your dog legs."
Xiang Yun was not the least bit annoyed by these words. Instead, with a fawning expression, he waved the wine jar in his hands at the two of them and smiled, "Don"t be angry, brothers. I"m just a little curious, that"s all.
Seeing the jar of wine in Xiang Yun"s hands, both of their expressions changed, but they still subconsciously refused. At this moment, Xiang Yun stealthily extended a finger and poked a small hole in the jar of wine. The aroma of wine instantly wafted into their noses.
"Hu!"
When the two of them smelled this delicate fragrance, they simultaneously retracted the reprimanding words that they were about to utter. The two of them looked at each other, and their eyes revealed greed.
Obviously, these two fellows were alcoholics as well. When they smelled such a fragrant aroma, it immediately aroused the Liquor worm within their bodies.
"Cough cough!" A barbarian hesitated for a moment before finally reaching out and grabbing Xiang Yun"s arm. He pulled him to the side of the stairs, blocking the view of the surrounding shop employees.He gestured at Xiang Yun to keep quiet, then s.n.a.t.c.hed the jar of wine from Xiang Yun"s hands. Raising his head, he gulped down a large mouthful of wine. As he gulped it down, the barbarian"s eyes immediately shone with impatience as he raised his head to drink once more.
The other barbarian immediately became anxious as he saw this. He grabbed the jar of wine and said in a low voice with dissatisfaction, "You want to keep it for yourself? I haven"t drunk it yet." After saying that, he drank the rest of the wine in one go.
"Aiya, this wine tastes so d.a.m.n good!"The two of them finished the wine in one gulp, yet their eyes were still clearly filled with insatiable greed. Both of them cast their gazes towards Xiang Yun at the same time. This time, it was obvious that they were much friendlier, one of them rubbing his hands and patting him on the shoulder as he spoke.
"Bro, where did you buy this wine? Is there anything else?"
Xiang Yun smiled and said, "Of course there is. However, can the two of you tell me what exactly is on the seventh floor, and why can"t you let us go up? If the two of you reveal even a little bit of it, I"ll go get some wine for you later. I still have a large vat of wine!"
However, when they thought of how this kid still had a vat of this kind of good wine, these two fellows whose brains had already been filled with Liquor worm, they stealthily discussed this matter for a while, finally speaking to Xiang Yun.
"Brother, this seventh floor is the president"s resting place. Only Steward Gu is allowed to enter and leave the store. The others can"t go up without any orders, and even we haven"t gone up before."
"However, I heard that it"s the president"s snack. He"s enjoying it extravagantly, but don"t ask around. If Steward Gu were to find out, we wouldn"t be able to handle it."The two of them spoke a few words without the slightest bit of pain, and the rumours they had heard before were naturally not the answers Xiang Yun wanted. However, he had no intention of truly finding anything of value from them.
"Bro, I"ve already said what I needed to say. Quickly go and get us some more wine. I can"t hold it in any longer, it must be unbearable!""Exactly!"
The two barbarians began to urge Xiang Yun to get the wine. However, only the two of them could hear the sound of his voice as the corners of his lips curled upwards, "You two can go drink in your dreams!"
Xiang Yun"s eyes suddenly turned cold, his hands shot out like lightning and pointed at the center of the two people"s foreheads!
The two barbarians were shocked. They wanted to use Yun Li"s counterattack. However, once they started to use their Qi, they discovered that their spirit roots were completely silent. Yun Li was like a pool of still water, and there was no response.
The next moment, both of them were hit by the finger at the same time. Their minds trembled and their eyes rolled back at the same time. Their bodies went limp and they were about to fall down again.
Xiang Yun instantly stretched out his hands and used Yun Li to lift up the two of them, gently hanging them on the arms of the armrest as if he were still standing upright. He immediately put away the wine jar and fled up the stairs.The wine just now was of course good wine. The osmanthus brew that Luo Ning had given Xiang Yun was still in stock. Of course, he had also added a drop of the snake venom from the Nine Poison Python, which was more than enough to deal with two Yellow Cloud barbarians.
As he stealthily made his way up to the seventh floor, Xiang Yun subconsciously activated his Turtle Aura Technique, concealing his aura to the extreme, not leaking a single bit of it.The moment he set foot on the corridor to the seventh floor, Xiang Yun realized that his actions were absolutely wise.
Just as he stepped into the seventh floor, he could feel seven to eight streams of tyrannical energy sweeping towards him. Unexpectedly, all of them were Yellow-Cloud Realm martial artists.
