Chapter 334: Chapter 296: Artifact Spirit Avatar

On the next leg of a journey, Master Fatty seemed to transform into Doraemon.

Whenever the group arrived at an important scenic spot or resting place, he would always promptly pull all sorts of merchandise from his Storage Bag to show everyone.

The goods included a wide variety of Magical Artifacts.

There were intricately carved Flying Swords, Talismans imbued with Thunder Power, and Defensive Spiritual Artifacts with outstanding defensive power.

There was also a wide assortment of Elixirs, including Nourishing Yuan Pills to improve one’s Cultivation, life-saving Rejuvenating Pills for healing injuries, and Spirit Gathering Pills for boosting Spiritual Power, among others.

Furthermore, Master Fatty even brought out quite a few small Spirit Beasts for everyone to choose from.

Some were small and delicate, others adorably clumsy, but each had its own unique traits and uses. Some could help Cultivators scout for enemies, while others could assist with Cultivation.

Master Fatty’s sales tactics were brilliant. His pitch was incredibly persuasive, and he always knew exactly how to tap into each person’s needs and desires, making it impossible to resist wanting one of the items he offered.

Moreover, while the things he brought out weren’t top-tier treasures, they were highly practical and offered excellent value, making them affordable for most people.

This made Master Fatty’s wares very attractive.

Even Jiang Xu couldn’t resist buying one or two small trinkets.

These little interludes didn’t make Jiang Xu forget his original purpose.

He needed to go to Xiao Jin Island and return the item to Xiong Liangsheng’s family.

However, achieving this goal was proving more difficult than he’d imagined.

Throughout the journey, Jiang Xu had been looking for a chance to break away from the group and head to Xiao Jin Island.

Unfortunately, Master Fatty and the General Manager were watching him too closely.

Whenever Jiang Xu searched for the right moment in the crowd, planning to slip away from the group, he would always feel the vigilant gazes of Master Fatty and the General Manager fixed on him.

Whether he pretended to admire the scenery, attempting to evade their sightlines, or claimed fatigue to find a corner to rest, their watchful eyes seemed glued to him, leaving him no opportunity to escape.

Faced with this predicament, Jiang Xu was incredibly anxious, but he could only suppress his impulse for now and choose to cooperate with the group’s itinerary on the surface.

Secretly, however, he remained vigilant, watching for any opportunity to leave.

After the group had toured several famous scenic spots, the atmosphere gradually began to change.

Master Fatty and the other guides suddenly dropped their previous relaxed and cheerful demeanor, their expressions turning solemn and serious.

They stopped joking around and, with grave expressions, led all the crew members toward the center of the island.

This time, the destination was clearly different. The group had to travel a long distance, flying at high speed for a full hour before they gradually approached their target.

As they drew closer, a towering pagoda that pierced the clouds gradually came into view.

Under the sunlight, the entire pagoda shone brilliantly, emitting a gentle yet solemn luster. It blended seamlessly with its surroundings, yet also stood aloof and transcendent.

This was the Wenqu Pavilion.

The exterior of the Wenqu Pavilion was built in an ancient imperial style, with vermilion-lacquered pillars, a roof covered in glazed tiles, and upturned eaves inlaid with gold and jade, all reflecting the dazzling sunlight.

The outer walls of the pavilion were carved with exquisite patterns, depicting auspicious clouds, mythical beasts, and Immortals imparting their arts, all carrying profound meaning.

Surrounding the pavilion was a flight of steps built from white jade, rising layer by layer, symbolizing the arduous journey of a Cultivator climbing to the peak of knowledge.

This time, Master Fatty did not pull out anything to sell as he had before.

With a respectful expression, he bowed deeply toward the Wenqu Pavilion from a distance.

Then, he turned back to Jiang Xu’s group and began his introduction.

"Ahead of us is the pillar of our Wenqu Island, the Wenqu Pavilion."

As Master Fatty spoke, Jiang Xu and the others gained a deeper understanding of the Wenqu Pavilion.

The Wenqu Pavilion has ninety-nine floors.

At the entrance on the ground floor of the Wenqu Pavilion, the towering vermilion gates are always open, welcoming every seeker of knowledge.

As one ascends the floors, the quality and depth of the displayed texts increase accordingly.

At the same time, each successive floor also imposes various requirements on those who seek knowledge.

If you cannot meet the requirements, you cannot advance any higher.

The ground floor mostly stores basic Beginner Cultivation books and general knowledge texts for novices to consult and learn from.

But the higher one goes, the more profound the content of the texts becomes, covering a wide variety of advanced Magic and Divine Powers, rare Arrays, and even research on the Heaven and Earth Laws.

Next, Master Fatty announced that this was their final destination.

The guided tour, for now, had come to an end.

From now on, everyone was free to enter the Wenqu Pavilion.

Furthermore, their stay on Wenqu Island would be for two months, and during that time, no one would interfere with any of the crew members’ activities.

However, they were not to cause trouble on the island, or they would be handed over directly to the Seven Stars Association for punishment.

Everyone was stunned that Master Fatty’s tour guide business had ended in less than a day.

But at this moment, that was no longer important to them.

After hearing the introduction to the Wenqu Pavilion, all the crew members were eager to try it out, extremely curious whether the Wenqu Pavilion truly lived up to its name.

It all sounded so unbelievable.

Quite decisively, after announcing the end of the tour, Master Fatty headed straight for the Wenqu Pavilion himself, looking very eager.

At the same time, the General Manager and the others also hurried forward.

Jiang Xu and the other crew members were also very interested in the Wenqu Pavilion.

However, he was in no hurry to go over, choosing instead to observe the others.
