The Thousand Clothes Shuttle is a mid-grade magical artifact, resembling a small shuttle that can easily fit in the palm of your hand.
Although its structure is simple, its utility is significant, as it can assist in shaping garments during the crafting of magical clothing.
It is said to contain thousands of exquisite clothing styles and also supports self-editing, making it quite practical.
Tang Muxi was overjoyed and immediately purchased it, followed by buying several eye-catching earth-grade materials.
However, she truly had no intention of making any more cold jade silk.
Since Senior Sister had a way, she would just wait for good news.
“Senior Sister, let’s go to the third floor for the lottery next!”
After wandering around the second floor, Tang Muxi’s purse had significantly thinned, and she felt quite pained, needing to think of a way to earn back the lost money.
How could the lottery be considered stealing?
She was just a bit luckier than others.
Jiang Yin saw the eagerness in her eyes and momentarily didn’t know what to say.
But it was fine; they had to draw anyway, and since there were fewer people now, it would be safer.
“Let’s go.”
The two made their way to the third floor.
Compared to the second floor, there were even fewer people here, and at a glance, one could hardly see any figures.
The attendant on the third floor was the same as last time; it was early in the morning, and with not many customers around, she was dozing off with her chin resting on her hand when she suddenly saw two young female cultivators approach her: “Lottery.”
The attendant lazily yawned, “Ladies, the treasure basin is over there, one mid-grade spirit stone per draw, prizes are limited, first come first served…” Before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly recognized the two and was startled awake.
“Ladies! You’re back again!”
Last time, it was these two who spent several mid-grade spirit stones and emptied the entire prize pool.
Their actions had drawn envy from others, and unexpectedly, they were guests of the shopkeeper, who personally escorted them out of the city and gifted them a bunch of spirit fruits as an apology.
Now, the entire Treasure Pavilion knew that these two were not to be trifled with.
The lottery on the third floor was a lucrative job, highly sought after in the pavilion.
He had only secured this position through connections.
Not long ago, he had earned a fortune just from the commissions of the lottery, but all of that ended when he encountered these two “VIPs.”
The second lottery pool had hardly attracted any customers before they took everything.
The attendant felt his heart bleed, and during the third lottery pool, he was constantly on edge, fearing the two would return.
Months passed, and the inevitable had come.
Tang Muxi’s face darkened: “What do you mean ‘aunt’? I’m not your aunt, don’t get too familiar.”
She was not even twenty yet, still young, and had no intention of suddenly being a generation older than others.
The attendant quickly cleared his throat, awkwardly chuckling, “I spoke too quickly, my apologies.”
Tang Muxi was too lazy to waste words with him: “I want to draw.”
Her tone was assertive and a bit aggressive; anyone who didn’t know would think it was a robbery.
But there wasn’t much difference, anyway.
The attendant felt a pang in his heart: “Can’t you wait a bit longer, miss? There’s still some time until this event ends.”
He hadn’t made enough money yet!
Upon hearing this, Tang Muxi hesitated.
However, before she could respond, Jiang Yin reminded her, “Don’t listen to his nonsense; there are only two or three days left until it ends. He’s just trying to scare you. Everyone in this line of work has signed a bet; if the prizes aren’t won, they’ll receive more rewards.”
The attendant was exposed, his face flushed, and he could only awkwardly retort, “You’re joking, my lady.”
However, his words were dry and lacked confidence, making it clear to everyone that he was just putting on a brave front.
Tang Muxi pursed her lips, thinking how annoying these vendors were, spouting nonsense.
She decided not to waste any more time with him and walked over to the treasure basin to check out this round’s rewards.
The Treasure Pavilion was wealthy and extravagant, and the items in the prize pool were incredibly precious.
The grand prize was a small piece of extreme cold ice marrow, said to be a byproduct of the extreme cold ice pool in the demon realm, capable of generating an ice pool.
Although the ice marrow was small and produced little, its grade was impressive, and it could continuously generate more, making it a worthwhile prize in every sense.
Aside from the grand prize, the remaining rewards were a mixed bag.
There were low-grade spirit veins, pulse-opening pills, coagulation grass, and so on.
Tang Muxi wasn’t particularly interested.
She already had a spirit vein close to the top grade on Floating Immortal Island, so a mere low-grade one was beneath her notice.
The pulse-opening pills were for cultivators who had gone astray, and she and her Senior Sister had no use for them.
The coagulation grass had some utility for emergency healing, but unfortunately, it had a chance of backfiring.
After looking around, aside from the extreme cold ice marrow, only two items caught her eye: a broken heavenly-grade magic tool and a swan tail feather.
The swan tail feather was exquisite and beautiful, suitable as an accessory for a magic robe, and could yield unexpected results at critical moments.
As for the broken heavenly-grade magic tool… it was somewhat intriguing.
The tool resembled a jade talisman, and its purpose was unknown.
However, since it was heavenly-grade, it naturally piqued her curiosity.
Without hesitation, Tang Muxi took out three medium-grade spirit stones and tossed them into the treasure basin.
While silently reciting the names of the three prizes in her mind, she reached her hand into the basin.
She still didn’t grab anything, waiting for the “willing to take the bait” moment.
The attendant nearby saw that she was only drawing three times and let out a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness, at least it wasn’t like last time when she took everything.
With ten rare prizes in total, seven remained, so she could still get quite a few rewards.
After a moment of waiting, as expected, three spirit talismans floated into her hand.
Although the talismans lacked spiritual awareness, for some reason, she felt as if they were eager to be chosen.
Pulling her hand out, she opened them all at once, and in an instant, golden and red lights intertwined.
The two golden lights were the broken heavenly-grade magic tool and the swan tail feather, while the red light was, of course, the grand prize, the extreme cold ice marrow.
It was exactly what she had wished for.
“Ding~ Congratulations! You have received one portion of extreme cold ice marrow, one broken heavenly-grade magic tool, and several swan tail feathers!”
The last three prizes flew in front of her one after another.
Tang Muxi smiled as she stored them in her dome-shaped jade.
The attendant felt a pang of regret, especially when he saw the former grand prize in the dome-shaped jade; the pain was even more profound.
It was truly a case of killing with a heart wound.
“Miss, will you draw again?”
His voice trembled as he asked.
Tang Muxi smirked, “Do you want me to draw again?”
This was a life-or-death question.
The attendant swallowed hard and after a moment, awkwardly laughed, “As for the fairy’s matters, how could I dare to speak out of turn?”
In truth, he had long wanted to chase her away.
Seeing his unwilling expression, Tang Muxi snorted lightly, “I won’t draw again.”
The attendant was taken aback, his face lighting up with joy, “Oh, good!”
His demeanor was truly infuriating.
Tang Muxi suddenly began to understand why she was often scolded by the big bad boss for being vain; even someone as good-natured as her felt the urge to lash out.
“Senior Sister, what are we going to do next?”
Jiang Yin asked.
“Hmm, we just need the Hanyu Silk,” Tang Muxi replied, her eyes sparkling with mischief.
Jiang Yin knew she was reminding her and patted her head with annoyance.
“I remember,” she said, pulling her towards the Exquisite Delicacies House.
Having learned from the last experience, this time she specifically reserved a private room on the second floor.
As Tang Muxi settled into the fragrant room, her stomach growled loudly, and she nearly drooled.
Fortunately, her rationality held strong.
“Senior Sister, aren’t we here for the Hanyu Silk? Why are we eating here? Besides, we haven’t even sold the Xianyuan Dan yet.”
Jiang Yin leisurely picked up her chopsticks.
“Let’s eat first; the person will arrive shortly.”
Person?
What person?
Tang Muxi was filled with doubts, but seeing Jiang Yin already enjoying the food made her crave it too, so she temporarily pushed her questions aside.
About a quarter of an hour later, the door to the private room finally opened, and a woman walked in gracefully, followed by a middle-aged man.
“Don’t tell me you invited me out just to have a meal,” Wen Mingyu said helplessly as she sat down.
Recently, she had been overwhelmed with work, and it seemed like everyone was seeking her out at this critical moment.
Yesterday it was the Xia family, and today it was Jiang Yin.
She was running around so much that her complexion had noticeably deteriorated.
“Junior Sister, have you been doing well lately?”
Upon seeing Tang Muxi, Wen Mingyu still greeted her with a smile.
After being immersed in complex relationships for too long, she preferred interacting with someone as straightforward and sincere as Tang Muxi.
There was no need for scheming, making it quite comfortable.
“Yeah, I’ve been doing great. Recently, I’ve learned a lot and just happened to have some newly refined pills I’d like to ask you to help sell,” Tang Muxi said, glancing at Jiang Yin.
Seeing that she didn’t object, she took out a small jade bottle.
Although there was only one pill, it was a high-quality Earth-grade Xianyuan Dan, so she felt it was better to package it nicely before showing it.
Wen Mingyu was surprised.
“You refined this? If you want to sell it, you can just find the staff; they will help you.”
That was indeed a good point.
After all, based on what Tang Muxi said, it was something she refined herself, so it should be an ordinary Yellow or Profound grade pill, and thus she didn’t think much of it.
However, that assumption shattered the moment she opened the jade bottle.
The pill inside emitted a faint glow, warm to the touch, and was as smooth as a fine jade pendant, with pure energy and intricate patterns.
Xianyuan Dan!
She hadn’t seen one in many years, and for a moment, she couldn’t believe it was in her hand.
Even Wu Yuan, who was standing beside her, widened his eyes in shock.
“Oh, so I can just find them directly?”
Tang Muxi chuckled awkwardly.
“I’ll remember that and won’t trouble Sister Mingyu in the future.”
Wen Mingyu panicked.
“No, no, no! It’s not a bother at all!”
She stumbled over her words.
“What did you just say? This Xianyuan Dan was refined by you?!”
Wen Mingyu’s tone shifted from polite to incredulous, her voice rising with excitement and disbelief.
Tang Muxi sensed her skepticism and pouted in displeasure.
“I already said it’s mine. The materials were from the last lottery at the Gathering Treasure Pavilion, and the furnace I used was also won in a lottery—the Liuli Dragon Bone Furnace. How could it be fake?”
Wen Mingyu naturally knew about her winning the lottery and had thought at the time that it was just her good fortune, but she was slightly surprised.
She hadn’t expected Tang Muxi not only to have good luck but also exceptional talent, capable of refining high-quality Earth-grade pills!
She didn’t know that Tang Muxi had only recently started learning alchemy, so she assumed the other was just hiding her skills.
If she had known, she might have questioned her own life choices.
Wen Mingyu prided herself on being good at reading people.
Since someone like Tang Muxi has admitted it, she wouldn’t stoop to lying.
She was momentarily dazed but quickly composed herself, putting away the Xianyuan Dan and handing it to Wu Yuan.
“Take this to the storage, and return it to the domain another day.”
Such a precious item like the Xianyuan Dan, she would never truly sell.
“Junior Sister, how about you sell me this pill? Just name your price!”
