No Way People Find Cultivation Difficult, Right?

Chapter 197: Heavenly Apparel Pavilion, Worth 500,000 Superior-grade Spirit Stones?

Su Changyu was confused.

‘This is so damned outrageous.’

‘Northern County of Chen Nation?’

Even if it was the northern county of Jin Nation, Su Changyu definitely wouldn’t brag about anything.

But what kind of a place was the northern county of Chen Nation?

The two were worlds apart.

‘This is so damned absurd.’

‘I was just about eight minutes late and I got teleported to Chen Nation?’

‘Had I been late by another eight minutes, wouldn’t I have been sent away from the Great Xia Dynasty?’

It was really outrageous.

“Little friend, what are you doing?”

Taishang Xuanji looked at Su Changyu’s expression that had changed slightly and couldn’t help but be curious.

To be honest, if Su Changyu didn’t have such a striking resemblance to the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty’s younger self, he probably wouldn’t have bothered to pay attention to a stranger.

However, now, for the sake of the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, he had no choice but to speak up.

“It’s nothing, there was just a slight deviation when I was setting up the Teleportation Array.”

Su Changyu stubbornly continued pretending. He could be cowardly and admit defeat but he couldn’t not brag because he couldn’t kick the habit.

“Deviation? Where are you from then, little friend?”

Taishang Xuanji asked curiously.

“Jin Nation.”

Su Changyu said indifferently.

Taishang Xuanji was speechless.

The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was speechless too.

‘Jin Nation.’

‘That deviation is quite absurd.’

“If you want to go to Jin Nation from Chen Nation, you have to go straight to the capital of the Chen Nation. We happen to be from the capital, so why don’t we go together? That would make the trip less boring.”

Taishang Xuanji tried his best to force a smile.

However, as soon as he said that, Su Changyu got even more wary.

‘Must these old two fogies insist that I accompany them? Wouldn’t it be boring?’

‘Could it be that you guys...’

Su Changyu was a little flustered but still looked calm on the surface.

“Okay.”

Although there was definitely something wrong with the both of them, he didn’t have any other solution so he had no choice but to agree first.

“Okay, okay, okay. In that case, little friend, let’s go down the mountain before that.”

After getting Su Changyu’s reply, Taishang Xuanji smiled.

Su Changyu was very calm. Anyway, he was already ready to draw his sword. If the two of them dared to attack, he would kill them without hesitation.

After all, they were the ones who attacked first.

“Alright.”

The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, who had stayed silent for half a day, also said that it was good at this moment.

Just like that, the three of them embarked on the journey.

Along the way, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty had been staying silent but Taishang Xuanji, who was at the side, could feel that the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was in a state of turmoil.

Taishang Xuanji was astonished.

The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was a supreme existence.

What kind of a major scene had he not seen before?

Even if the Crown Prince died, he would not be able to react that way.

He would react that way only if his nation fell.

That showed how shocked he was by Su Changyu.

However, at this moment, Taishang Xuanji hoped that Su Changyu wasn’t the Tenth Prince.

If Su Changyu was really the Tenth Prince, the Great Xia Dynasty would really be in turmoil.

The crown prince of the Great Xia Dynasty had already been established. If the Great Xia Dynasty Tenth Prince had returned, there might not be any benefits.

Of course, if the Tenth Prince could bring blessings to the Great Xia Dynasty like the legends said, it would naturally be fine.

However, legends were legends and prophecies were prophecies. If prophecies really worked, there wouldn’t have been so many fallen dynasties.

The three of them walked side by side down the mountain.

Along the way, Taishang Xuanji tentatively asked Su Changyu about it, using the same reason.

“I have a pretty daughter who, unfortunately, hasn’t found a husband yet. I think you should be compatible with her.” Hence, he used that excuse to ask about Su Changyu’s origin and identity.

If it were a normal person, perhaps he would really be tempted.

However, unfortunately, Taishang Xuanji found the wrong person. He did not know that Su Changyu was not interested in romance or lust.

Besides, Su Changyu had a strong feeling that there was something wrong with the both of them, and hence, he didn’t want to bother about them.

Just like that, they arrived at the capital of Chen Nation.

The reason that Su Changyu changed his opinion about them was because they stayed in the Heavenly Fate Pavilion.

The Heavenly Fate Pavilion was the best pavilion in Chen Nation and even Su Changyu, a hillbilly, was aware of it. Clearly, the Heavenly Fate Pavilion was extraordinary.

In Heavenly Fate Pavilion.

There were several buildings that resembled sky palaces that were floating above the sky. Each sky palace seemed luxurious, and even when he was standing below it, Su Changyu was astonished.

The reason he knew about the Heavenly Fate Pavilion was not because he researched a lot on restaurants, but because there was something in the Heavenly Fate Pavilion that was most attractive to him.

It was the Heavenly Apparel Pavilion.

Yes, the Heavenly Apparel Pavilion.

The Heavenly Apparel Pavilion was the best apparel pavilion that was ranked first in the Ten Nations. They would release a new design each year that was not only cool but extremely valuable too.

Previously, Su Changyu bought a piece of clothing that was worth a hundred taels of gold, but in the Heavenly Apparel Pavilion, hundreds of taels of gold might only be enough for some thread.

Besides, Su Changyu’s biggest dream was to have a new set of clothing produced by the Heavenly Apparel Pavilion, which didn’t necessarily have to be a limited edition.

As long as it was the clothes of the Heavenly Clothes Pavilion, it would be good enough.

“Old Xia, Old Xuan, do you guys live here?”

Su Changyu looked at Taishang Xuanji and the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty with some surprise.

Along the way, Su Changyu also found out the names of these two people, so he addressed them as Old Xia and Old Xuan.

It was good to be casual.

However, if his words were to spread to the Great Xia Dynasty, it would be incredibly shocking because the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was being called ‘Old Xia’.

It sounded awkward.

“Yes, what’s wrong? Little friend, are you not satisfied with this place?”

The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty’s voice sounded.

His tone seemed rather cautious, causing Taishang Xuanji, who was at the side, to somehow feel scared.

It was because he had never seen the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty say such things before. Even if the emperors of the other four dynasties were in front of him, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty probably wouldn’t be that cautious.

“Of course I’m satisfied, but I just heard that there’s a Heavenly Apparel Pavilion there and I’m wondering if it was true or not.”

Su Changyu said with a smile.

It was the Heavenly Apparel Pavilion.

The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty frowned. He did not know much about that item.

However, Taishang Xuanji knew what the Heavenly Apparel Pavilion was.

“Your Majesty, the Heavenly Apparel Pavilion is a shop that specializes in producing clothing for the royals of the Ten Nations.”

Taishang Xuanji explained.

‘Oh!’

The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty nodded. He had understood.

“Little friend, do you like the clothes of the Heavenly Apparel Pavilion?”

The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty looked at Su Changyu with his eyes full of curiosity.

“I do like them but I can’t afford it.”

Su Changyu seemed rather casual.

Those were the words that he meant from the bottom of his heart. He definitely liked the clothes.

All the new designs of the Heavenly Apparel Pavilion would attract the attention of everyone present. As someone who liked bragging, cultivation was not the most important. The clothes he wore had to be the best.

“Can’t afford it? You can’t afford even a few pieces of clothing?”

The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty couldn’t help but continue to speak.

However, he was not being sarcastic, but rather, he took pity on Su Changyu for not being able to even afford some clothes.

“Not everyone is born with a golden spoon in their mouth. I might be a supreme Sword Immortal but I will never commit theft. Since I provide for myself, it’s normal that I’d be penniless.”

Su Changyu said in a calm voice.

However, after he said that, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty felt even more heartbroken.

He had already treated Su Changyu as his lost son, and hence, he somehow felt that Su Changyu must have suffered a lot of hardships outside.

The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty seemed even more heartbroken after Su Changyu said that.

Su Changyu obviously didn’t come from a rich family. Otherwise, how could he not be able to afford a few pieces of clothing?

He was the supreme emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty and all his children were pampered since they were born.

There might be some princes and princesses who were unfavored, but even then, they would still be able to afford a few pieces of clothing.

Yet, Su Changyu was stranded in the world of commoners and couldn’t afford to buy a piece of clothing. How could his heart not go out to Su Changyu?

Thinking of this, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty couldn’t help but take a deep breath before speaking, “Coincidentally, I am an honored guest of the Heavenly Apparel Pavilion, and I kinda feel that you and I are fated with each other. So, if you don’t mind, why don’t I give you a few pieces of clothing?”

The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty said with a calm smile.

However, after hearing his words, Su Changyu was a little stunned.

The clothes of the Heavenly Clothes Pavilion were not the same as the clothes sold at street stalls, and each piece was worth thousands of superior-grade Spirit Stones. Some that were made of good fabric would even cost more than 10,000 superior-grade Spirit Stones.

If it was a limited edition good, it would be priceless.

Yet, the emperor was giving him such a precious item.

Su Changyu couldn’t help but frown as he wondered if there was something fishy about it.

Sensing that Su Changyu was a little suspecting, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was suddenly at a loss for words while Taishang Xuanji, who was at the side, couldn’t help but speak up immediately.

“Little friend, my master is very generous and he likes helping aspiring youths.”

Taishang Xuanji felt that Su Changyu was bewildered, and thus he immediately tried to explain.

After hearing his words, Su Changyu immediately understood something.

He had heard of such things before too. In particular, there were some wealthy experts who had already reached the end and could not increase their cultivation levels further.

Hence, they liked to help some young and outstanding talents. If they one day could soar high and advance by leaps and bounds, they would ask them for benefits.

Of course, that was quite a good thing as both parties would benefit.

Thinking about this, Su Changyu couldn’t help but feel excited.

“Little friend, what do you think?”

Taishang Xuanji asked curiously.

“Since we are fated, sure.”

Su Changyu immediately nodded.

His master told him not to take small advantages of others.

However, if there were advantages, he ought to take them.

“Sure. Little friend, please come with us.”

Taishang Xuanji immediately smiled while the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty couldn’t help but smile too.

Soon, the three of them walked into the Heavenly Fate Pavilion while Taishang Xuanji took out a black ancient token, and in an instant, the woman, who received them at the Heavenly Fate Pavilion, immediately had a change of expression. She then hurriedly went to call someone over.

After a while, an extremely beautiful woman walked over. She had a mature charm and there was a golden phoenix hairpin in her hair. She didn’t seem tacky at all and instead gave off an inexplicable vibe.

She was the pavilion master of the Heavenly Fate Pavilion. She had come over personally, and upon sight of Taishang Xuanji, she looked extremely respectful.

“Greetings, distinguished guests.”

The Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Fate Pavilion did not know Taishang Xuanji’s identity, but she could recognize the ancient token in Taishang Xuanji’s hand.

It was the Great Xia Dynasty ancient token that could compel all those involved in military, political, and commercial affairs in the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty to obey and cooperate unconditionally.

Besides, there were only a total of five such ancient tokens in the Great Xia Dynasty.

The owner of each ancient token was definitely a person of power and authority in the Great Xia Dynasty. Naturally, she had to greet Taishang Xuanji personally.

She would be in trouble if one of her subordinates offended them.

“Go to the Heavenly Apparel Pavilion.”

Taishang Xuanji was still very polite to Su Changyu, but to the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Apparel Pavilion, his tone was very official and formal.

With just one sentence, the latter was even more certain that he was a big shot.

“Guests, please.”

She didn’t dare to say more and immediately led the three to the Heavenly Apparel Pavilion.

Soon after, Su Changyu stepped into the Heavenly Apparel Pavilion.

He was dumbfounded.

Every piece of clothing in the Heavenly Apparel Pavilion was extremely precious, and each piece was in a style that he had never seen before.

What made Su Changyu even more dumbfounded was that every single piece of clothing was priced as high as 5,000 superior-grade Spirit Stones.

What concept was 5,000 superior-grade Spirit Stones?

They were worth 50,000 middle-grade Spirit Stones which was equivalent to 500,000 inferior-grade Spirit Stones, which were worth 50 million taels of gold.

‘What kind of divine place is this?’

However, each piece of clothing in the Heavenly Apparel Pavilion was at the level of a supreme-grade spiritual artifact. Hence, it was not an exaggerated price.

In an instant, Su Changyu froze in shock.

Besides, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty did not know what was going on with Su Changyu, and hence, he subconsciously thought that Su Changyu was displeased.

He could not help but glance at Taishang Xuanji.

The latter immediately comprehended and looked at the Heavenly Fate Pavilion Master.

“Are there clothes that are of better quality? Show me the best item in the store that my little friend here will like.”

His tone was calm but his aura was still domineering.

“Alright, please wait for a moment, Lord.”

The Heavenly Fate Pavilion Master nodded and immediately asked someone to bring the best item in the store.

Soon, thirteen robes appeared in front of Su Changyu.

Each robe was protected by a glass cabinet.

Besides, each robe was considered a true treasure.

The functions of being insusceptible to fire and water, and the ability of getting rid of all sorts of bugs, all seemed a little low-end.

For example, the first one was the World Green Robe which was made of threads that was each sewn by nine hibernating ancient silkworms. Those silkworms would spit only ten threads of silk in their lifetime and there was a total of 100,000 threads of silk

The more terrifying thing was that there were 72 array formations in the robe, each with a Spirit Gathering Array and Five Elements Avoidance Arrays. Even the full-force strike of a Golden Core realm cultivator could not break the robe.

It was just that exaggerated and shocking.

“How much is this clothing worth?”

Su Changyu swallowed his saliva as he looked at the World Green Robe and couldn’t help but ask.

“Distinguished guest, this robe is worth 500,000 superior-grade Spirit Stones.”

The Heavenly Apparel Pavilion Master spoke up. She stood beside the Heavenly Edge Pavilion Master and looked rather careful.

“500,000?”

Su Changyu was dumbfounded.

Not to mention the 500,000 superior-grade Spirit Stones, he didn’t even have 500,000 copper coins.

That amount of Spirit Stones was massive to Su Changyu and he was completely dumbfounded.

“Little Friend Su, if you like it, just take it away. It’s just a piece of clothing, my master doesn’t care.”

Taishang Xuanji suddenly spoke, making Su Changyu come back to his senses.

In the eyes of outsiders, Su Changyu still remained calm. However, he would remain silent from time to time, making them feel strange.

Hearing Taishang Xuanji’s words, Su Changyu exhaled a breath and then shook his head. “We might be fated but I can’t accept such an expensive gift.”

Su Changyu shook his head as he turned down the gift.

Not to mention 500,000 superior-grade Spirit Stones, he didn’t even dare to ask for 5,000 superior-grade Spirit Stones.

He felt embarrassed to take something from others.

To be honest, Su Changyu was not a fool either.

“It’s alright, it’s just some Spirit Stones, don’t stand on ceremony with me, Little Friend Su.”

However, in an instant, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty immediately spoke. He had a good impression of Su Changyu and it was getting better and better.

In the beginning, he thought that Su Changyu was a boor, but after hearing that Su Changyu had turned him down, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty somehow felt that Su Changyu had a good character.

Besides, he even felt that Su Changyu had suffered a lot over the years.

Hence, regardless of whether Su Changyu was the Tenth Prince or not, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was still willing to give him a creation.

If not, he would at most take him in as a godson.

“Uh...”

Su Changyu was a little surprised.

It was a limited edition robe but he felt bad about taking things from others.

After some hesitation, Su Changyu gave in to pragmatism.

He went to try on the clothes.

After Su Changyu left, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty couldn’t help but look at Taishang Xuanji and said via a voice transmission.

“Xuanji, do you think he looks like that?”

The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty asked with some unknown emotions.

“Your Majesty, from the first moment I saw him, I almost thought I saw a younger version of you. Your Majesty, do you have a child who is stranded among the commoners?”

Taishang Xuanji looked at Emperor Xia with curiosity.

“Impossible.”

The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty shook his head.

“If I have a son, he should be the Tenth Prince. He really resembles him.”

The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty said.

“Your Majesty, there is in fact a way to test this. We can take a drop of his blood and mix it with yours. We will use the ancient True Blood technique as a paternity test.”

Taishang Xuanji suggested.

“No need for that, I... I’m still not prepared.”

“Also, if anyone else finds out about this, you should understand what I will do.”

The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty said calmly, turning down Taishang Xuanji’s suggestion.

However, there were reasons for his rejection.

One was that he was indeed not ready.

Secondly, the nation’s foundation was shaken. If he was really the Tenth Prince, it would not be a good thing for the whole Great Xia Dynasty once the news was spread, especially for Su Changyu.

Hence, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty did not want to verify it that way.

If he wanted to, he could always go and verify it. There was no need for Taishang Xuanji to suggest either.

“I understand.”

Taishang Xuanji nodded.

He took the initiative to propose that idea, not because he wanted to claim credit, but because he wanted to test what intentions the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty had.

Now that he knew what the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty thought, he also became more worried.

He hoped that Su Changyu was not the Tenth Prince.

The reason being, there could only be one outstanding person in the Great Xia Dynasty, and that was the Crown Prince.

If there was a second person to steal the limelight, there would be real trouble.

However, at the next moment, Su Changyu walked over.

In the blink of an eye.

In the Heavenly Apparel Pavilion, everyone froze in shock.

Not far away, Su Changyu slowly walked over, dressed in the World Green Robe.

At this moment, his aura became extremely noble. It was that of a supreme Sword Immortal and his stunning good looks were accentuated too.

All of a sudden, everyone in the entire Heavenly Apparel Pavilion suffocated.

Even Taishang Xuanji and the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty couldn’t help but be slightly shocked.

‘This is... too extraordinary, isn’t it?’

At the same time, in Wei Nation.

It was already late at night.

On the eaves of the pavilion, Ye Ping was sitting cross-legged, pondering about his realm.
