Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 96 Treasure Pavilion

They were all wearing Shrek Academy uniforms, so they were easily recognized. They had already received quite a few stares along the way.

The group took out their invitations and handed them over. After reading the invitations, the girl's smile softened even more. "Soul Masters, please follow me." As she spoke, she gestured for someone to lead the way and then walked ahead.

Clearly, being a core disciple of Shrek Academy is very useful here.

Stepping into the Treasure Pavilion, an atmosphere of luxury immediately envelops you. The golden hall exudes extravagance, its entire space shimmering under the light of crystal chandeliers hanging high in the ceiling. Two rows of young women also stand on either side of the hall.

Compared to the eight girls in long dresses outside, the girls inside, dressed in short gold skirts, were far more eye-catching. These girls were younger, and their short skirts revealed very little fabric, exposing their fair, slender legs. Every single one of them was above average in appearance and possessed an exceptional figure—curves in all the right places. The first impression of entering this golden hall was that it was like entering paradise on earth.

"Welcome, distinguished guests," the girls on both sides suddenly said, bowing in unison. This unexpected voice drew the attention of the group.

Looking at the girls who were all bowing at a ninety-degree angle, each revealing their cleavage, Ji Lin's lips twitched.

He noticed that all three girls around him were looking at him, making him afraid to look at them for long, even if it was just a fleeting glimpse.

Wang Qiu'er whispered to him, "Is it pretty?"

Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao watched with expressions of anticipation, as if watching a good show unfold.

Ji Lin replied without hesitation, "Not as good-looking as you."

Wang Qiu'er blushed, glared at Ji Lin and stopped talking, while Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao looked disappointed.

They were clearly disappointed that they didn't get to see Ji Lin get punished by Wang Qiu'er.

Those who indulge in entertainment will suffer a great defeat.

While they were talking, they had already walked through the corridor lined with beautiful women. The girl in the white dress led them up the golden stairs to the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion.

The second floor was much quieter than the first. While it appeared somewhat scattered, all the booths were arranged in the most logical and prominent positions. Each booth was enclosed by a huge crystal glass dome. Different items were displayed on the stands inside.

The girl in the white dress stopped in her tracks. "Welcome, distinguished guests, to the Treasure Pavilion's Treasure Appreciation Event. The event will be held on the second floor, and you are welcome to browse freely. If you find any items you like, please register to purchase them on the west side. If you wish to pay on credit, you can also have them appraised there. The appraisal result will determine the discount you will receive and the amount you can pay on credit."

After listening to the girl in the white dress, Wang Dong'er asked curiously, "Are there different credit limits? What's the reason behind that?"

The girl in the white dress smiled and said, "It's like this. Our Treasure Pavilion will set different credit limits for each guest attending the Treasure Appreciation Event. This assessment method mainly takes into account your current cultivation level, age, Soul Master type, and so on. I suggest that you take the assessment first. This way, we can determine your credit limit and you'll be more informed when purchasing items from our Treasure Appreciation Event. If you'd like, I can take you there now."

The three girls all looked at Ji Lin, clearly wanting him to make the decision. Ji Lin nodded and said, "Alright, please take us to the assessment first."

Although he was supported by a wealthy princess and was not short of money, Wang Qiu'er was certainly not short of money either. As a princess of the Star Dou Great Forest's soul beast clan, Wang Qiu'er had many valuable items, any one of which would be extremely expensive. Wang Dong'er, the young master of the Haotian Sect, was also not short of money, but Xiao Xiao was not as wealthy as many others.

With this in mind, Ji Lin agreed to conduct an evaluation, so that Xiao Xiao wouldn't be unable to buy what she wanted.

Although they can buy it for Xiaoxiao, they also need to consider the girl's self-esteem.

The girl in the white dress led the group to the west. Following behind her, their eyes were frequently drawn to the booths around them.

Just then, Wang Dong'er suddenly stopped and looked at a booth.

Noticing Wang Dong'er's actions, Ji Lin and the other two also stopped and looked at the booth that Wang Dong'er was looking at.

Within that booth stood a soul bone. This soul bone, a golden-red color, was actually floating within the booth. It appeared to be an arm bone, with five slender finger bones pointing upwards, each fingertip emitting a faint golden-red glow. Not only did they notice this soul bone, but almost everyone who passed by it did. Moreover, the booth containing this soul bone was at least twice the size of the other exhibits, its golden-red light diffused brilliantly by a massive crystal dome.

Beneath that soul bone was a plaque with many characters on it, but because of the distance, the group couldn't make out what the characters meant.

The group looked at Wang Dong'er, who whispered, "I can feel that it suits me."

Upon hearing this, Ji Lin immediately said, "Since it suits you, let's buy it. I can lend you the money if you don't have enough."

He knew Wang Dong'er should have a lot of money on her, but he pretended not to know and offered to lend her some if she didn't have enough.

This is the nature of human relationships and social interactions.

Wang Dong'er was touched by this. "No need," she said. "I have enough money on me to buy it. Let's go get it appraised first, and then I'll buy it later."

The group followed the young woman in the white dress again.

They walked for nearly a hundred meters before reaching the western end. Beneath the long counter was a light trough shimmering with a crystalline yellow light. Soft light flowed out from below, not glaring but full of texture.

The young woman in white led them to the left side of the counter. A young woman immediately stood up and respectfully said, "Greetings, Soul Masters. Please fill out an assessment form. We will calculate the amount you can owe in a few minutes."

Several forms, along with a beautiful ink pen, were pushed in front of me. The information to be filled in was indeed not complicated.

Name, gender, age, soul power level, martial soul. Honors received.

It only has these six simple items, and there's not even a time limit for the spirit rings.

Fill out the form and submit it. Soon, the evaluations for the group were completed.

The girl in charge of registering and calculating the credit limit seemed a little dazed. The young lady in the white dress standing in front of the counter urged her in a low voice, "Xiao Hong, hurry up."

The girl behind the counter had a round, chubby face and slightly small eyes, but she was pretty and adorable, looking about seventeen or eighteen years old. Hearing the urging, she quickly stood up, but her gaze towards the group completely changed, especially towards Ji Lin and Wang Qiu'er, where it held a more intense gleam.
