I awakened my god-tier passive skill early on and took off instantly

"Hmph, country bumpkin, coming in here without money."

It turned out to be the gaudily dressed woman from before, who happened to be walking by arm in arm with a man. Seeing Lu Xin's frown, she assumed he couldn't afford anything.

Adding to that, she saw he was plainly dressed, so she casually made a mocking remark.

Lu Xin stopped, glanced at the woman, and didn't intend to pay her any attention. After all, he wouldn't lash out at someone just for a taunt. But who knew, the woman sensed disdain in his eyes and immediately snapped:

"What's with that look?"

Then she coquettishly said to the man, "Brother Lin, he's looking down on me."

She was originally a rogue cultivator. Although she had no background, she was quite attractive and always proud and arrogant. The thing she hated most was being looked down upon.

The man also felt Lu Xin's gaze, the kind of look one gives to an ant. This made him very unhappy. He also checked Lu Xin's cultivation level: Qi Refining Stage, fifth level. Time to get angry.

"Boy, apologize to Miss Qian."

The commotion quickly attracted the attention of those around.

"It's Young Master Lin. Someone's offended him again."

Lu Xin didn't care about the surrounding chatter, his eyes slightly narrowed. He hadn't expected that his generosity would be taken advantage of.

Without another word, he coldly snorted. A massive surge of magical power suddenly erupted from his body, directly blasting the man and woman away.

Since learning so many spells, he had become even more skilled at using the magical power within him.

Blasting away two small Qi Refining Stage cultivators was easy.

This sudden turn of events directly frightened everyone. Feeling Lu Xin's aura, they quickly backed away.

"It's a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Young Master Lin has really kicked an iron plate this time."

The surroundings became silent.

"What's going on?" Just then, a steward with early Foundation Establishment cultivation ran out.

A servant quickly whispered a few words in his ear. The steward nodded, walked over, didn't even look at the two groaning on the ground, and directly cupped his fist at Lu Xin, saying:

"This fellow Daoist, our store has been negligent. I wonder if you could give me some face and let them go?"

"I will have them apologize to you."

Lu Xin thought for a moment. It wasn't good to hit someone with a smiling face, and he still needed to buy magical artifacts here, so he gave the other party some face and nodded in agreement.

"Thank you." The steward cupped his fist again and had people help the two lying on the ground. He directly said to the man, "Young Master Lin, this senior is magnanimous. Why don't you quickly apologize?"

Lin Shaoquan only felt sore all over and dizzy. Hearing the voice, he finally regained some clarity. Thinking of what he had just experienced, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat. After barely calming down, he softly said:

"Steward Zhao, my grandfather…"

But before he could finish speaking, Steward Zhao interrupted him, "How old is your grandfather? If I didn't have some friendship with your grandfather, I wouldn't bother with you."

"Apologize quickly, and don't bring disaster to your Lin family."

Lin Shaoquan was awakened by this reminder and didn't dare to delay. He quickly stepped forward to apologize. As for the woman, she was already terrified and frantically bowed a few times, then was carried away.

Seeing that the matter was over, Steward Zhao stepped forward and said, "My surname is Zhao, and I am the steward here. May I ask this fellow Daoist's name?"

"Lu Xin."

Lu Xin reported his name and directly cut to the chase, "I wonder, Steward Zhao, do you have any magical artifacts suitable for me here?"

"Please follow me." Steward Zhao didn't delay, and gestured for him to come.

The two went upstairs, only to see that the space here was much smaller than downstairs, and there wasn't a single customer.

"Cloud Mountain City is just a small market. Although there are many cultivators coming and going, there are not many Foundation Establishment customers, so the second floor is usually quieter."

Steward Zhao led Lu Xin to sit down at a tea table. Seeming to see the confusion in Lu Xin's eyes, he poured tea while explaining.

"I wonder what kind of magical artifact Fellow Daoist Lu needs?" Pushing a cup of spiritual tea in front of Lu Xin, Steward Zhao asked.

"Axe-shaped, I guess." Lu Xin thought for a moment. He was used to using axes.

"Oh?" Steward Zhao revealed a surprised expression upon hearing this, then chuckled.

"What, don't you have any here?" Lu Xin asked in confusion.

"How could we not?" Steward Zhao shook his head. "It's not that I'm arrogant, but in the Yan Kingdom's cultivation world, if Star Cloud Pavilion doesn't have a magical artifact, you definitely won't find it anywhere else."

Then he explained, "It's just that I saw that Fellow Daoist has a dignified appearance. Although you are plainly dressed, your whole body exudes an ethereal and refined temperament. I thought you would choose a magic sword and become a sword immortal."

"Who knew…"

Saying this, he shook his head with a smile again.

Lu Xin's old face flushed red from his praise. He coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment, and quickly took out the axe he had named 'Kaitian' from his storage bag, saying:

"I'm just used to using it."

Steward Zhao put down his teacup and quickly took Kaitian Axe. While carefully examining it, he unconsciously began to comment, "The materials are okay, but the refining technique is crude, and the plasticity is not strong. It can barely be considered a mid-grade magical artifact."

Then, realizing that this was the customer's item, it wasn't good to belittle it like this, so he quickly apologized.

Lu Xin waved his hand to show that he didn't mind.

Then the two chatted for a few more sentences, and Steward Zhao stood up and brought a few long wooden boxes, opened them one by one, and introduced them one by one, "The high-grade axe-shaped magical artifacts are all here. See which one you like."

After listening to the introduction, Lu Xin picked them all up and looked at them, and thought about the price. Finally, he set his sights on an axe that was red all over.

"Does this one have a name?"

"It has a name, called Red Shadow. You can refer to it and choose a name you like."

"This one then." Lu Xin nodded, took out three thousand five hundred spiritual stones, and put Red Shadow into his storage bag.

Steward Zhao didn't bother to count them, put away the spiritual stones, and then said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Lu, do you need anything else? We not only have offensive magical artifacts, but also many flying magical artifacts."

Lu Xin thought about his empty storage bag and decisively shook his head and refused. He had a total of four thousand spiritual stones, and he had just spent three thousand five hundred, leaving him with no spare money.

Steward Zhao wasn't disappointed, "Then Fellow Daoist Lu, if you need anything next time, welcome to visit again."

"Definitely." Lu Xin nodded in agreement and stepped forward to leave, then thought that he would be forming his Golden Core soon, so he tentatively asked:

"May I ask Steward Zhao, I wonder if you have any magical treasures for sale here?"

"Magical treasures?" Steward Zhao sensed Lu Xin's cultivation level again. Early Foundation Establishment, not yet the time to use magical treasures. So he asked in confusion, "Isn't it a little early for Fellow Daoist Lu to ask about this now?"

Lu Xin explained, "I'm just planning ahead."

Steward Zhao immediately understood and admired, "Fellow Daoist Lu is truly far-sighted."

Then the two chatted again. Half an hour later, Steward Zhao personally escorted Lu Xin to the door.

"I didn't expect that magical treasures have so many tricks." On the street, Lu Xin walked and thought.
