Towards the Path of Heaven
Chapter 8

Carefully approaching the counter, Yan Chutian was increasingly convinced that the iron plate at the corner was the Energy Gathering Plate. What made him even more shocked was that the price of the Energy Gathering Plate was not spirit crystals, but silver!

To Yan Chutian, this was simply a pleasant surprise. He could imagine that no one in the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion knew the true identity of the Spirit Gatherer Plate. Just because it looked a bit strange, they decided to sell it here.

And this is an opportunity for him!

Especially in times like these, Yan Chutian kept telling himself to stay calm. He could not let anyone see anything strange about him. Otherwise, he might not be able to purchase the Energy Gathering Plates.

Yan Chutian approached the counter and pretended to be an idiot. He was curious to see many things on the counter and pointed at them from time to time. However, when he opened his Qiankun Bag, there were no spirit crystals inside. This made him depressed, and also made the servant who was secretly observing him look at him with disdain. He had not expected that this poor child who did not even have a single spirit crystal would have a Qiankun Bag.

Yan Chutian, who was also quietly observing the servant, smiled faintly in his heart. He slowly raised his head with a depressed expression and stared expectantly at the round plate in the corner. He said to himself in astonishment, "It can be bought only with silver?"

As he spoke, he excitedly looked at the servant who was looking at him with disdain. This made the servant even more insulting. He felt that this poor boy who had only become a cultivator due to luck did not have a distant look ahead. Looking at the broken iron plate on the counter that was not priced with the spirit crystal, he was greatly shocked.

"I. .. I want to buy it!"

Yan Chutian did not know how to read people's expressions and continued to speak excitedly. However, the maid did not have a good temperament and did not care about her at all. He continued to serve other cultivators who wanted to buy them.

At the same time, the other cultivators who wanted to buy it also looked at Yan Chutian with ridicule. In their eyes, this poor boy must have thought that the broken iron plate was some kind of treasure. He did not even have the most basic knowledge about cultivators.

If they knew that the broken iron plates in their eyes were more valuable than the entire Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, they would be shocked and speechless for a long time.

The servant ignored him, but Yan Chutian was in no hurry. He maintained his original expression and waited in front of the counter. However, at this moment, his heart was in turmoil, and he was extremely nervous. Thinking about it, it was quite funny. In the past, he had never been this nervous even when facing a treasure that surpassed Saint Level. Now, he was nervous as he faced the small Energy Gathering Plate.

After a long wait, when the last customer in front of the servant also left, he finally looked towards Yan Chutian. However, even when he looked towards Yan Chutian, his eyes were filled with disgust as he said impatiently, "Five hundred taels of silver."

"All right!"

Yan Chutian pretended to be naive and took out five hundred taels of silver from his Qiankun Bag. The amount of money Zhou Teng had collected was truly staggering. Even after taking out five hundred taels of silver, the amount of gold and silver in his Qiankun Bag was still piling up like a small mountain, occupying over half a cubic meter of space.

The waiter took the silver points and checked them. After confirming the amount, he reached out to take out the Energy Gathering Plate at the corner of the counter under Yan Chutian's gaze. At this moment, Yan Chutian's mind stiffened as he became increasingly nervous. What he feared would happen. Just as the attendant's palm was about to touch the edge of the Energy Gathering Plate, a proud sneer suddenly sounded from behind.

"Wait, I want this broken iron plate!"

When the arrogant mockery came, the servant stopped. This naturally made Yan Chutian's expression change. However, right now, he knew that he could not show his impatience.

Therefore, after calming himself down, he turned his thin body around and looked in which direction the ridicule was coming from.

Looking up, he saw a young man with an oily face standing half zhang behind him. The man was almost the same height as Yan Chutian, but his body was much fatter, like a round ball.

Yan Chutian asked in confusion. The question made the fat man sneer again. However, before he could reply, Yan Chutian heard the flattered laughter of the servant behind the table.

"Young Master Zheng, what brings you here?"

"Haha.it's okay, I'm just taking a walk. However, I only liked this iron plate, so I wanted to buy it. What say?"

"Of course I sold it to Young Master Zheng!"

The servant had completely "forgetted" the deal with Yan Chutian just now and smiled apologetically to the fat young man. This way, even if Yan Chutian wanted to hide his emotions, he could not only see the Energy Gathering Plate in front of him disappear. He argued, "I liked this iron plate a long time ago, and I've already paid 500 taels of silver."

Yan Chutian tried his best to suppress his emotions. Even if he is not afraid of threats, he does not want to easily get into conflict with others. This was not because he knew that he was too weak right now. Even if his cultivation was very high, such as when he became the first disciple of the God Palace in his previous life, he would still be like this.

Moreover, at special events like the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, Yan Chutian believed that everyone should follow certain rules. Otherwise, how could the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion be a place for cultivators to trade?

However, even if Yan Chutian thought this way, it did not mean that the servant and the fat man were of the same mind. The fat man looked at him coldly and did not hide the coldness in his words. He slowly said, "Haha .. It has been a long time since I met such an arrogant man."

"If you don't know who I am, then I'll be compassionate and tell you. I am the eldest son of the Zheng Family, Zheng Qiufeng. My grandfather was the father of the City Lord's wife, and my father was the City Lord's brother-in-law!"

Zheng Qiufeng raised his head and looked at Yan Chutian condescendingly. Because of his identity, no one in Kai Yuan City dared to point the finger at him. They're all respectful. However, this poor man in front of him actually dared to retaliate against him?

However, what happened next made Zheng Qiufeng even more unbelievable. Even though he reported his identity, the poor man in front of him acted as if he had not heard him and continued to say, "Even if you are the City Lord's son, you still have to follow the rules. Since I saw this iron plate first and have paid for it, of course it's mine."

"Hmph, be stubborn!"

Zheng Qiufeng gave a cold snort and did not say anything more. He just looked at the waiter. Seeing this scene, the maid instantly knew that the opportunity to flatter had arrived. The son of the City Lord's brother-in-law and the poor man who came out of nowhere. It would be strange if he didn't know who to flatter.

He quickly straightened his back and shouted coldly at Yan Chutian.

"Get out of here. The Heavenly Treasure Pavilion does not welcome a poor person like you!"

With a cold snort, he threw out five hundred taels of silver and spread them throughout Yan Chutian.

At the same time, Zheng Qiufeng smiled in satisfaction. The cold laughter slowly sounded again.

"Haha. How's it feel?"
