Reborn as a Mountain: I Defy the Heavens with a Smile-Chapter 50: Second Floor

Just as Ye Chen arrived at the stall, an old figure sitting on the third floor of Blue Moon Pavilion suddenly opened his eyes with surprise.

"These four youngsters had good talents," the old man muttered as he gazed into Ye Chen’s direction.

Naturally, the youngsters were Ye Chen, Li Mei, Lan Ming, and Li Zhenyuan.

After evaluating them, he looked straight into the void.

"Fellow Daoists, why not come chat with me? This way you can also keep an eye on your disciples," he said with a faint smile.

Hearing this, the two figures didn’t continue to hide and directly appeared on the third floor.

One of them was a beautiful woman with a cold face. She was none other than Zhen Yunqi, who was following Ye Chen silently.

As for the other person, it was a middle-aged, fat Buddhist with a serene face.

His name was Wei Sun, and he was the master of Li Zhenyuan.

Watching the two of them, the old man’s face stiffened a little.

He was bored and wanted to chat with someone who had similar cultivation as him. But looking at the cold and serene face, he knew this was just his wish.

Nevertheless, he didn’t show any dissatisfaction and welcomed them.

"Greetings, Daoists. My name is Hong Fang, and I welcome you to sit and chat here," he greeted them with a polite look.

In response, both Zhen Yunqi and Wei Sun nodded, introducing themselves in a few words.

After that they ignored him and turned their gaze towards the first floor.

Zhen Yunqi was worried that Ye Chen would cause trouble in the core area.

As for Wei Sun, he was also worried about his fat disciple causing trouble.

However, in the eyes of Hong Fang, they were worried about their disciple’s safety.

"Fellow Daoists, you don’t need to be anxious about your disciples; no one would be able to harm them here," he assured with a confident look.

Hearing him, both Zhen Yunqi and Wei Sun nodded without any change in their expression.

"Manger Hong Fang I am not worried about my disciple’s safety; it’s just I am afraid he might cause trouble," Zhen Yunqi explained.

"I am also worried about my fat disciple causing trouble," Wei Sun added shortly.

Hearing them, Hong Fang was speechless.

He never expected that two Nascent Soul cultivators like him would worry about their disciple causing trouble.

However, thinking about how Ye Chen and Li Zhenyuan were unafraid of Mo Chongsheng, he thought their worries were right.

’Good thing I didn’t take any disciples,’ the old man thought with relief, and just like them, he also looked on the first floor.

…

As soon as Ye Chen entered the stall, he was greeted with a spacious hall. The size of the hall was different from what it should be; clearly, space formations were at work.

Although this surprised him, he didn’t care too much and walked towards the counter-level display shelves.

There were several rows of it, and each item was placed inside a glass box along with a wooden tablet that had the short introduction of the items inside as well as the cost of it.

Just as Ye Chen was about to look at the items, both his hands were suddenly squeezed by softness.

Before he could find out what was going on, he heard soft footsteps behind him and found a group of young and mature women walking towards his direction.

"Senior sister Liu, look, that brother is so handsome! I wonder if I can marry him."

"Litter brat, you haven’t even grown your hair; you better not think about such things."

"Uwwu, that’s unfair!"

"Humph! What unfair! You better not think about such things; if not, I will leave you in the cold palace!"

"Senior sister Liu! If you want that handsome brother, then just say so; there is no need to threaten me?!"

"You brat! When did I say I wanted him?!"

One young girl and one mature woman bickered with each other, causing others in their group to giggle sweetly.

However, they had to admit that Ye Chen was quite handsome. There was no one who could compare with him.

Nevertheless, they just gave him an appreciative look and followed their senior sister Liu, who was blushing faintly.

Only when they did pass did Li Mei and Lan Ming let go of his hands.

"There is no need to protect me like this. I am not that fickle," Ye Chen said with a speechless look.

In response, both Li Mei and Lan Ming snorted.

"Who is protecting you? We are protecting those young girls from getting harmed," Li Mei stated with a pout while Lan Ming agreed with a nod.

Hearing this, black lines appeared on Ye Chen’s forehead, and he hurriedly led them towards the shelves.

Honestly, just now he was quite attracted to the youthful group because all of them had ratings of 9/10. The senior sister was even 10/10.

Of course, he was just appreciating their beauty and had no intentions of striking up a conversation.

’I calculated that I would meet them in the future, so there is no need to be in a hurry,’ he thought silently and started to look through the items with Li Mei and Lan Ming.

There was also Jing Xiao behind them; however, she made her presence low; people could see her, but they would not pay too much attention unless they knew her.

Just like that, they started looking through the shelves and were attracted by a lot of items.

Ye Chen almost wanted to buy everything, but since they were just rare and of no use to him at this moment, he resisted the urge to purchase them.

After looking for a while, he finally arrived at the area where cauldrons were sold.

Unlike the onside stall, the cauldrons here were more antique and sturdier. Their grade was also above tier 2.

It’s just they were expensive.

However, to Ye Chen it was not a problem; hence he carefully observed the very cauldron, trying to find a good one.

"Sir, have you found a cauldron to your liking?" A female attendant who was overlooking this area inquired with a smile.

Just now she was stunned by his handsomeness, but since he didn’t unleash his immortal AOE buff, she regained her calm and inquired.

"I didn’t find anything to my liking yet," Ye Chen replied with a disappointed look.

Although the cauldrons here were high grade, the metals used in forging them were all normal.

It can be used for normal refining, but if you want to refine some special pills, then the cauldron might cause some problems, especially with the ice flame.

"Don’t you have any cauldrons that are made with special metals like green iron or flaming gold?" he asked.

Hearing him, the female attendant was stunned a little. After all, such cauldrons were bought by middle-aged and old alchemists.

It was the first time seeing someone young as him looking for a special-grade cauldron. However, she didn’t delay and nodded.

"Sir, we do have such special-grade cauldrons, but they are on the second floor. If you like, feel free to go up and find the cauldron you wanted," she suggested.

Hearing her, Ye Chen nodded, and after taking a short look, he brought Li Mei and Lan Ming to the second floor.

Of course, Jing Xiao also followed him but with curiosity in her eyes.

…

The second floor of the Blue Moon Pavilion was a little smaller; however, it was luxurious and well decorated.

There were even some middle-aged elder figures looking through various items along with their disciples.

Because the number of people on the second floor was less, the arrival of Ye Chen and them immediately attracted attention.

They were even stunned to see Jing Xiao tagging along with them.

Of course, not everyone recognized her, especially the young disciples.

"Lan Ming, you are here too!"

At this moment a young, handsome male walked towards Lan Ming with a smile while secretly taking a look at Li Mei and Jing Xiao.

As for Ye Chen, he completely ignored him.

"Who are you?" Lan Ming inquired with a frown, not recognizing the male disciple in front of him.

"Haha, Lan Ming, did you forget the alchemist gathering from a year ago? My master was the judge there, and he even published a new pill formula," the male disciple stated with a proud look.

"Oh! So you are that grandmaster’s disciple, but what does it have to do with me knowing you?" Lan Ming said with displeasure.

Watching her, the young man wasn’t discouraged at all and chuckled faintly.

"Haha, I know that you don’t know me, but I know you because my master wanted to take another disciple, and I heard that you have a mutated fire spiritual root. It is great for refining pills, so my master was thinking about taking you as a disciple."

"In the future, we will be fellow apprentices," the male disciple said with a smile, extending his hand to pat her shoulder.
