Mesmerizing Ghost Doctor

Chapter 1810: Treasure Gathering Pavilion

“Didn’t I ask you to wait for me? Why are you walking so fast!”

An old man in grey came slowly. After seeing Feng Jiu standing there, he said to the guard, “He’s coming with me.”

“So, it’s Elder Tan.” The two guards knew the man. Only after seeing the old man, saluting him, and glancing at Feng Jiu, did they step aside.

She stood there stupefied for a moment, looking in a baffled manner at the old man in grey.

“Let’s go!” The old man spoke and stepped inside.

Seeing this, she followed him silently. It’s just going into a building. She didn’t expect it would be very troublesome. What were the rules inside this place? Who was the old man? Why did he help her?

“Treasure Gathering Pavilion is a place to barter goods. There are no rules to enter. It’s just that some people are arrogant and look down on others. They won’t let you in because you wear simple and unadorned attires and look impoverished.”

The old man seemed to know what Feng Jiu was thinking. When they entered the building, he explained in a slow voice. He stopped and looked at Feng Jiu, then glanced at the medicine basket on Feng Jiu’s back. “You are gathering medicine! If you want to widen your knowledge, just look around freely. I have something else to do, so I’ll leave first.”

Without asking Feng Jiu’s name nor telling her his identity, the old man turned around and walked away.

Feng Jiu raised her eyebrows and her lips curved up in a smile. This person was cold-faced but warm-hearted. His face was taut with a solemn look, but he would open his mouth to help a total stranger like her.

She shook her head inwardly and walked in, intending to look around.

A place to barter goods? What good things would there be inside?

She walked inside with a bit of curiosity. When she got inside, she saw a lot of things being displayed in transparent cabinets. Everything was marked to indicate what the item was, its function, and what thing to barter it with. It was clear at a glance.

After a round, she didn’t see anything that took her fancy. But, as she walked around here, she noticed that a pair of eyes were staring at her all the time. It gave her the sense akin to staring at the prey and made her frown slightly.

When she arrived here, she kept a low profile and hid her appearance. Her cultivation was also suppressed. Now, in the eyes of strangers, she was just a delicate and handsome young man. Such a person was a dime a dozen on the street and wouldn’t attract much attention. How could anyone still stare at her?

Instead of searching for that line of sight, she went to a counter where some ornaments and some common magical tools were displayed.

“Please show this mirror to me!” She said to a woman at the counter.

The woman only glanced at Feng Jiu, then handed out the mirror. “This is a precious refraction mirror, which is more suitable for women to carry. It is a mirror and also a magic weapon that can reflect the sun to attack.”

Feng Jiu used the mirror to look at the person who was staring at her. Through the mirror, she saw an old man in magnificent clothes standing on the second floor staring at her. It was this old man who looked at her like looking at the prey.

After seeing the man, she saw that the mirror in her hand was exquisitely carved, so she took a look inside the cabinet and saw the items to barter it with. She smiled and asked, “Does this mirror only require a Foundation Building pill to barter with?”
