Bab 588: Pay To Embarrass

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After about two hours, she finally put out the fire of the alchemy furnace.

Gu Xijiu stopped what she was doing and slowly opened the lid of the furnace. She looked inside and then pushed it towards Jing Lanyao, "Please examine it personally."

Jing Lanyao looked inside. He blinked a few times and looked again. He ended up examining the pills very closely for a while. Then, he used his sleeves to fan and cool the pills. This was so he could put the pills in his palm and observe them thoroughly.

The spectators were also looking at the glittering green pills of different intensities. They could not help but hold their breaths at the scene.

Some experienced alchemists were already calling out, "One level-five pill, two level-four pills, two level-three pills and two wasted pills!" Their voices were filled with disbelief.

The people gasped, one after another. They turned their attention to Gu Xijiu.

The quality of this mysterious alchemist was comparable to Master Jing's. Who was she exactly?

The people had been questioning her identity since her last outstanding performance. They were trying to find out who she really was.

Some had speculated that she was actually Jing Lanyao in disguise based on the quantity of the pills that she had made and her stubbornness. They thought that the master must have been putting up a show, as he could not use his true identity to sell the pills. It was suspected that he had run short of spiritual stones.

Since Master Jing had presented himself now, who could this mysterious alchemist be? Could she be one of the other few alchemists? The only flaw here is that they had not heard of any other alchemist who possessed such a high capability in their alchemy. Who was she?

Their eyes lingered on Gu Xijiu.

They wished their vision were able to penetrate through the long robe and reveal her true identity.

Jing Lanyao turned his attention to Gu Xijiu and finally asked, "Who exactly are you?"

"You’re not entitled to know who I am," said Gu Xijiu, calm and collected.

Qian Lingyu was tensed, but he stood up for Gu Xijiu and said, "Exactly, everyone comes to the night market wearing a long robe and a mask to conceal their true identity. Thus, if we're not willing to expose ourselves, you cannot force us to."

He began putting the things together, "Alright, now that we’re done with both of the alchemies, we can pack our things and leave."

"Hold on!" Jing Lanyao took a step forward and placed his palm on the alchemy furnace. He fixed his eyes on Gu Xijiu and said, "Is there any reason why you find it hard to disclose your identity?"

Gu Xijiu smiled. She then crossed her arms and said, "Nothing, I am just obeying the rules here."

Jing Lanyao frowned, but immediately started guessing her identity, "Are you, Brother Qiu?"

"Brother Jing, I am here." One of the men in the crowd took off his mask. He was the Brother Qiu that Jing Lanyao had called out.

Jing Lanyao frowned again. Just when he was about to start guessing again, Alchemist Qiu already began to talk, "Brother Jing, there’s no need to guess anymore, all of us are here."

He waved at the crowd. Three other men then emerged from the crowd and took off their masks. They were the remaining alchemists from the alchemy hall. All the alchemists from the Tianju Hall were there. There was no one left.

Tianju Hall did not allow any outsiders to move in. Everything would be recorded in the books even when there were some occasional stays.

Although the people present were wearing long robes and masks, all of them were the internal staff members of the Tianju Hall.

Now that all the alchemists from the Tianju Hall were present, the one standing in front of them was clearly not one of them. Therefore, who was she exactly?

Could she be a spy that was harboring evil intentions? The people started to get closer and closer as they were trying to prevent them from leaving.

Jing Lanyao’s eyes were tensely focused on Gu Xijiu, "This is a serious matter, so I advise you to take off your mask and reveal yourself. Your alchemy ability is certainly brilliant. You must be someone mighty from somewhere. You should show yourself so we can be friends."

Gu Xijiu gently touched her mask with her fingers, "Are you trying to break the rules here?"

Jing Lanyao took a deep breath and said, "This matter is related to the safety of the Tianju Hall. Hence, I can no longer tolerate. If you are in any way offended, please forgive me for my shortcomings. If it is true that we have been wrong about you, we will definitely make an official and public apology to you."

Gu Xijiu laughed. "I am only following the rules. It is not a big deal for me to take off my mask, you just have to do one thing."

"What’s that?" Asked Jing Lanyao, frowning,

Gu Xijiu stretched out her hand. "Pay! 2,000 spiritual stones to see my face once!"

Jing Lanyao did not know what to respond.

The crowd was speechless.

Silently, Jing Lanyao took another deep breath. In fact, it was them who broke the rules first. However, they really had to see what she looked like.

"Alright, deal! Two thousand spiritual stones to see your face once." Jing Lanyao agreed to it. He looked at Gu Xijiu and said, "Now, can you take off your mask?"

Faintly, Gu Xijiu squinted her eyes, "Pay first; then you’ll get to see."

Jing Lanyao was frustrated. He took out all the spiritual stones that he had, but the amount was insufficient. He did not even have a thousand stones.

After witnessing the scene, other alchemists also chipped in, one after another. However, they only managed to raise the amount to 1,800 stones. There were 200 stones left.

Jing Lanyao placed all of the 1,800 in front of Gu Xijiu and said, "We only have these at the moment."

Gu Xijiu refuted him instantly, "Not one stone less!"

Jing Lanyao became green with rage, but he could not refute her.

The bystanders in the crowd had given in to their curiosity. Some of them who were well off helped to raise the amount by contributing two or three stones each.

Seeing such a scene, the Firmament Stone could not help but express itself, "Master, you are really good at making money! This seems like a fundraising just to pay for your revelation. You were so poor a few days ago that you did not even have a magic stone with you. No one would have ever thought that you are going to become a rich lady in just a few days."

Gu Xijiu simply smiled at it, without making further comments.

She had no other way. The mussel had been dying to feast on the meals from the Ziyun class. It had been talking about it again and again for a few days already, so she had to make enough money to fulfill its request. It was not easy to feed three big eaters.

2,000 spiritual stones were finally collected and presented to Gu Xijiu.

The stones were almost the size as beans, and the bag was quite full with 2,000 stones in it. Gu Xijiu sighed, as she put her hand into the bag to grab the stones, "Actually, we always meet each other during the day, but unfortunately, you have to pay for me to reveal myself now."

She placed the stones into her storage bag. Then, she took off her mask without extra hassle and revealed her true face.

"Hahahaha, it's so hilarious. I have never seen such a brilliant expression on Jing Lanyao's face. I think that his face must have turned completely green the moment he saw your face!" Qian Lingyu was still indulging himself in the excitement, with eyes brighter than the stars. He was so full of excitement and could not contain it so he jumped as high as could!
