Mortal To Immortal (Book 1)
MTI 042 - Jade Treasure Store

The people who were in the harbor were still talking about Yao Han. Because it shows the ability to walk on lake water, people are curious about its true identity.

"If he's a newcomer, he shouldn't have entered the city from the direction of the lake..."

"You're right, I think so too. If viewed from the direction it came from, it was most likely him from Star Moon Island."

"Impossible, the Star Moon Island has long been invisible. At least ten years... After all, there's only one person who lives there and he's still shutting himself down."

"Heh, it's not impossible that he's reopened the island and we know it."

"Well that's right, then who is that young man? His student or his son? At first glance I saw his aura like the aura of the East Wind..."

"Murid or son. If that's true, it must be a very big news."

"Or maybe he's not human. It could be a demon or a spirit animal in disguise."

"It could be, it could be... He was also acting strange earlier when he reached the mainland..."

"Hush, watch your words. We don't know who he is or what his character is. If he's an irritable person and turns out to be strong, we're done with our history..."

"Aish, you have a point. Forget about him."

While people were talking about it, Yao Han was instead enjoying the hustle of the city that he had not seen and felt for a long time. Meirong and Yutian clucked in awe with the Moonlight City.

"I've only heard of it, it's more crowded than I thought." muttered Yutian.

"I've been here once, almost twenty years have passed, the city is getting crowded" Meirong said.

"You ever? What business are you doing here?"

"Enjoying the view of the lake of course," Meirong replied lightly.

"Ah, I thought you had some important business, but it wasn't. You're weird."

"You're a freak, you ugly snake." Meirong snorted in annoyance.

In the end the two argued about the trivial and Yao Han who heard that ignored the two, focused more on what he saw.

"So this is a city of cultivators..."

Yao Han had heard stories several times about the city of cultivators, who were usually set up in a place with a fairly high Qi density. However, if comparing with Star Moon Island, the Qi density of Moonlight City was nothing.

On the way to leave the island, Yao Han could feel increasingly distant with the island, hence the thickness of Qi was decreasing. At the very least, the thickness of Qi in the lake region that was about ten kilometers away from the shoreline equaled the thickness of Qi in Star Moon Island.

"The Qi condition in this city is offsetting the establishment of even a large seven-to-eight-star sect." Meirong said.

After being satisfied observing and quite adapted to the surrounding conditions, Yao Han started walking back and looking for a building from a famous cultivator's merchant shop named the Jade Treasure Shop.

Meirong thought there were some things that changed in the city, so he did not tell the direction of the store and suggested Yao Han ask someone.

"Uncle, sorry if I'm interrupting, can I ask you one thing?"

"Oh, please young man." What Yao Han asked was the man who looked to be in his forties. He was also a cultivator with a level nine Basic Realm practice.

"Where is the Jade Treasure Shop?"

"Thank you very much Uncle, take this."

"Eh, there's no need. You just ask, young man. I think it's overkill." The man subtly refused as Yao Han thrust out a jade bottle. He thought Yao Han was giving him a reward.

"No problem, Uncle. This bottle contains pills to improve practice. Must be very useful to Uncle."

Hearing Yao Han's remark, the man did not resist any further. The resources for the practice increase were extremely important and he did not feel Yao Han was lying to him.

"You're so good, young man. I accept your gift."

Yao Han laughed softly then resignedly to continue the journey. After Yao Han was some distance away, the man checked the contents of the bottle.

"It's..." The man was extremely shocked to see the pill emitting light and strongly scented. He hurriedly closed the bottle so that no one would realize the contents of the pill, "The shining Pill... Who exactly is this kid?" The man was very sure Yao Han had an unusual identity.

It didn't take long for Yao Han to finally find what he was looking for. A few meters in front of him stood a large and luxurious building. On the signboard it says 'Giok Treasure Shop' in gold.

Yao Han also saw that there were two male guards in front of the entrance of the Jade Treasure Shop and both of them had peak stage Earth Foundation practices.

Everyone who wanted to enter this shop wherever this building stood, was required to pay an entrance tax of ten yellow spirit stones.

"Is there something wrong with me?" yao Han asked in astonishment as the two guards looked at him quite intensely when he had already paid the entrance tax.

"Ah, I'm sorry. Please come in." Yao Han nodded slowly then stepped in.

One of the guards whispered to his friend, "The aura around him is strange. Like it reminds me of someone..."

"Yes, I feel it too."

Yao Han was greeted by a neat and attractive looking girl. She was one of the servant girls who worked in the Jade Treasure Shop.

"Welcome, Young Master. Is there anything I can help you with? You can name the item you're looking for and I'll get it." The girl smiled sweetly and avenged Yao Han's thin smile.

"I'm sorry, Miss. I came here not looking for anything. There's someone who left this letter and medal to give to the person who has the most important job title in this store." Yao Han took out two things he was referring to.

The girl tried to digest Yao Han's remark, "The most important position here is the manager, who is in charge of managing the shop and each shop will have one manager."

"Yes, that's what I mean."

The girl looked at the letter and medal in Yao Han's hand, "At this time our manager is in the room. Not just anyone can meet the manager. I'm sorry, Young Master..." The girl was a little scared.

Before Yao Han responded, the girl spoke again, "However, you can leave that to me and I'll drop it off to the manager. If you don't mind, you can wait here for a while."

"Oh, all right, no problem."

Yao Han handed over the letters and medallions, then the servant girl left Yao Han who began to observe the surroundings.

As far as he was concerned, this shop was the most luxurious building, beating the best building of Flower Hill City. There were also dozens of cultivators shopping this place.

In less than five minutes, someone approached Yao Han hurriedly.

"I'm sorry we made you wait, Young Master. This is really a surprise. Come with me to my room."
