Capítulo 49: Black Crystal Card
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Chi Yan immediately felt shocked inside. "Wha—? A Black Crystal Card? In that case, please come with me to the rest area on the fourth story because I'll need to draw up an application. The requirements for a Black Crystal Card are not just about how much money you have, but it also has to be approved by management."
"Anyone with a Black Crystal Card will be able to enjoy the best service available in any of Treasure Trove Court's branches across the continent. There will be no service and handling fees for participating in an auction or any successful bids. You will get a 5% discount on anything you bid successfully for and a 10% discount on anything you buy from the display area. In order to prevent fraud or scammers, you must use your real name and your soul imprint to apply for the Black Crystal Card. Treasure Trove Court will keep all your information confidential," Chi Yan explained.
Qingcheng nodded in agreement to all of the conditions.
Chi Yan quickly showed her to the fourth story and then said to the assistant behind him, "Wang, pack all the storage rings and bring them up to the fourth floor." He then left with Qingcheng.
Even though only those with a Purple or Black Crystal Card could enter the fourth story, Chi Yan took out a special plaque and touched the barrier with it, and the barrier disappeared immediately.
The shop assistant, Wang, as well as everyone on the third story, got the shock of their lives. All the storage rings? They cost at least five million gold coins in total, and someone wanted them all just like that? And this person had gone up to the fourth story too? Everyone couldn't help but think, "This fellow must be printing money!"
Wang didn't dare to delay at all and quickly wrapped up the storage rings carefully.
At the Black Crystal Card holders' special lounge area on the fourth story, Qingcheng was slowly sipping tea with Chi Yan next to her. He was holding onto a special scroll, and he passed it to her.
"Mister Qing, this is a special scroll we use for all confidential documents. Only the owner's palm print can access the information inside here, and nobody else can open the scroll. Even if it is opened by force, it will be completely blank inside, so you can go ahead and record all your personal information inside. Once you're done writing, I will pass it to the owner. If he approves of your Black Crystal Card application, then I will get it done for you. If he doesn't approve, then I will only be able to get you a Purple Crystal Card," Chi Yan said respectfully.
"No problem. I'll go with this arrangement." She took the special brush from him. This brush could write as long as she filled it with Spirit Qi.
She wrote the following details: her name, Feng Qingcheng, female, from the Feng family of Wei City, Weiyang Nation, age 12. Once she had finished writing all this, she used her divine sense to imprint the picture of a phoenix and rolled it up. The scroll automatically sealed itself.
Throughout this entire process, Chi Yan stood far from her and didn't look over at all. Qingcheng was very pleased with this. She didn't want too many people to know who she really was right now. What about the owner of Treasure Trove Court? She didn't have anything that would make it worth it for him to plot against her, so it didn't matter if he knew who she was.
Chi Yan took the scroll from her and said politely, "Please wait here for a moment. I will be back shortly." Thankfully, the owner had returned to the capital city earlier that day. Otherwise, this application wouldn't be completed so quickly.
"Wait a minute. If it's possible, can I get my two servants to come up here? I'm afraid they're getting worried downstairs." She didn't know how long this process was going to take, either.
"Sure. Please wait here for a while. I'll get someone to bring them upstairs," he said. Then he turned and quickly left.
Ten minutes later, Tealwood and Yan Xuan were led to the room. They saw Qingcheng there drinking tea and having light snacks. They were a little confused. Weren't they supposed to be waiting for her on the second story? Why had she ended up waiting for them on the fourth story?
"Oh, you two are here. Sit down. It will take some time. Once they're done with this matter, we'll go back." Qingcheng felt like she was in her own home and just ate and drank whatever she wanted. It was all free anyway.
She thought to herself that those with a Black Crystal Card certainly got different privileges. A Purple Crystal Card holder didn't get their own private lounge, and only the Black Crystal Card holders did. This tea was high-grade stuff, and while the snacks weren't as delicious as the modern desserts she knew how to make, they were considered good in this universe.
"You don't want to sit? Then you can continue standing." She ate another handful of snacks and swallowed a mouthful of tea.
"Little Xuan, tomorrow morning, we'll go and take a look at the house next to Prince Chen Manor," she said.
"Yes, Master," Yan Xuan replied.
Tealwood quickly asked, "Master…then what do I do?" He looked like he really wanted something to do too.
Qingcheng glanced at him. "Work hard on cultivation and make sure you're full of energy. We might need you to fight pretty soon."
What goes around, comes around. Once Intoxicating Immortals Restaurant reopened, the Fan family wouldn't sit still. They were definitely the reason why the restaurant didn't have any customers previously. Now that they had renovated and changed the signboard, they would definitely be able to reopen in two months or less. That would be a good time to teach them a good lesson!
"Little Xuan, before this, you were saying that the sword ran away by itself? How did that happen?" She had wanted to ask while they were downstairs, but Chi Yan was around, so it wasn't a convenient time to talk.
"Master, it's like this. I went to Langya Magical Beast Forest to train myself and picked it up. At that time, I saw a reflection of light in the crack of a rock. When I went closer, I noticed a sword hilt exposed on the outside, and I thought it was probably just a broken sword. After I pulled it out, I saw clearly that the blade itself had very special engravings and that it was an extraordinarily beautiful sword. When I used it, the amount of Spirit Qi I could wield became much more powerful. But Fan Siming's subordinates saw that and wanted it from me. I refused to give it to them, and there were other cultivators around as well, so they didn't do anything to me. On my way home, the sword actually flew up toward the sky and disappeared at an extremely high speed." After he recounted this, he thought of what his family went through. Yan Xuan's hatred for the Fan family ran through his core now.
"You have to take revenge, but your cultivation level is even more important. If you aren't powerful enough, then you're just sending yourself to die. Everyone must learn how to endure and hold their temper down. I will say that, at your current level, Tealwood can squash you dead with just one finger," Qingcheng said. She didn't mince her words.
Yan Xuan replied respectfully, "Yes, Master! You are very right. I am simply too weak now, so I will work twice as hard to cultivate! I will not let you down!"
"All right, it's good that you understand. I'm going to take a short rest. Wake me up when Chi Yan comes back." She then leaned against the chair and fell asleep. She seriously fell asleep! She had a habit of wanting to sleep once she was full. She had polished off all the snacks and an entire pot of tea, so she started feeling sleepy.
Tealwood and Yan Xuan exchanged glances. They didn't know what to do with her.
Inside the study of Prince Chen Manor…
Chi Yan respectfully stood to one side, while Darknight and Darkshadow were on the other. There was a table in the middle of the study, and Dongfang Haochen was seated at the desk. He had a palm-sized black plaque in his hands with the word "Rui" carved on it.
That's right. Dongfang Haochen was the owner of both Treasure Trove Court and Ruifeng Bank. Once the scroll sensed the palm print from the plaque, it unsealed itself. His long, slim fingers unrolled the scroll, and the first thing he saw was the name Feng Qingcheng, and then he quickly scanned the rest of the information. He rolled the scroll up, and it sealed itself again. Then, he very naturally put it away into his own storage ring.
Chi Yan was puzzled. Normally, he was the one who would keep every bank customer's information inside a secret storeroom. So why didn't his Young Master give him the scroll for safekeeping?
"Young Master, what do you think after seeing the information? Do you want to approve this application?" Chi Yan asked politely.
Dongfang Haochen looked at him and used his attractively lazy voice to reply, "The Black Crystal Card application is approved. Also, you must give priority to this customer, no matter what item it is."
