"Young Master, Miss, what would you like to buy?"
As soon as the two female disciples of the pavilion saw Lin Mo, stars popped in their eyes. With a single glance, they could tell this young master had an extraordinary background and a remarkable bearing.
He was a rich patron!
After entering, Bai Qingyu looked at the hall full of precious light, with various spiritual artifacts radiating dazzling colors, and felt a bit flustered.
Lin Mo, on the other hand, casually sat down in a chair, pointed at Bai Qingyu, and said, "Bring out the most beautiful, highest-quality jewelry artifacts in your shop for her. I don't want anything below the Profound grade."
The two female disciples rejoiced secretly. If they managed to sell Profound-grade jewelry, they would receive a generous reward from the sect!
"Miss, please come this way!"
With overflowing enthusiasm, they recommended several Profound-grade low-tier earrings and hairpins to Bai Qingyu. The jewelry was gorgeous, the carving exquisite, and it matched her temperament well.
But Lin Mo was not satisfied.
For spiritual artifacts like jewelry, the whole point was being expensive and luxurious, not cost-effective. Otherwise, wouldn't it be better to just buy swords and halberds? Bringing out Profound-grade low-tier pieces—was this a slap to his face?
One of the female disciples noticed his dissatisfaction. "Young Master, how may we assist you?"
"I told you to pick out the highest quality jewelry in the hall, and you bring out this garbage?"
"Are you afraid I can't afford it?" Lin Mo's face darkened.
The female disciples were dumbfounded.
What they excelled at most was reading people. The light yellow dress on Bai Qingyu was clearly old goods, worth no more than 200 spirit stones. Yet the jewelry they selected cost at least 3,000 spirit stones.
This young master actually thought it was too cheap?
It wasn't really their fault. As a Holy Land's Holy Son, Lin Mo was only a familiar face to core disciples of various sects. Furthermore, jewelry costing several thousand spirit stones was already considered quite expensive.
"I'll give you one more chance. Bring out the best jewelry in the pavilion."
"Otherwise, there's an auction on the flower boats tonight. I don't mind going there to buy," Lin Mo said coldly.
"Young Master, please quell your anger. We will select again right away."
The female disciples were terrified Lin Mo would leave in a huff. They absolutely did not dare offend a noble young master who treated jewelry worth thousands of spirit stones as garbage.
They hurriedly brought out the pavilion's treasures, laying them out one by one on the counter for Bai Qingyu to try.
Bai Qingyu possessed an outstanding aura and elegant bearing. Her fair, exquisite collarbones, paired with various radiant accessories, made her look exactly like a fairy descending from the Ninth Heaven.
"Miss, you are truly beautiful. After putting on our jewelry, your entire aura has ascended!"
"Miss, you are truly blessed to have such a generous companion."
The female disciples praised her from the bottom of their hearts. What made them even more envious was that her companion was so dashing and generous with his spending.
Watching them, they only dared to feel envy, not jealousy.
"Young Master, what do you think now?"
Lin Mo remained expressionless and unmoved.
"Brother Lin Mo, how about... just this pair of earrings? It's 18,000 spirit stones," Bai Qingyu said, her heart aching at the cost. 18,000 spirit stones was an astronomical price in her eyes.
Lin Mo chuckled and stood up. "The most beautiful fairy naturally deserves the absolute best jewelry."
"This piece is too cheap. Change it for a better one."
'This piece is too cheap...!'
The female disciples' hearts trembled. 18,000 spirit stones, and it was still despised as being too cheap!
Could he be one of the personal disciples of the four great sects? The Limitless Gate, Soaring Cloud Sect, World's End Pavilion, and Crimson Blood Manor?
But even those four great sects combined couldn't compare to a single Heavenly Revelation Holy Land.
Subsequently, Lin Mo's next action shocked them once again.
He pointed at a necklace displayed completely on its own. "I think this necklace isn't bad."
Bai Qingyu followed his gaze, her small mouth dropping open.
Although this necklace had no price tag, having once been a Holy Maiden, she knew that apart from the handiwork of a Grandmaster Artificer, no spiritual artifact could receive such special treatment.
A Master Artificer was already qualified to be an honored guest of a Holy Land, let alone a Grandmaster! Such existences crafted artifacts purely based on mood, making every single piece invaluable. For this necklace to be displayed separately, it clearly already had an owner.
"Qingyu, let's go with this one. It suits you perfectly," Lin Mo said with a smile.
Of course, he knew the necklace was a Grandmaster's work and had already been reserved.
But he was the Holy Son of the strongest Holy Land in the entire Immortal Horizon Realm.
What he set his sights on, he had to get. In this entire backwater South Mountain Sect, only this necklace was worthy of Bai Qingyu.
The female disciples were startled. "Young Master, why don't we look at a different necklace?"
Lin Mo shook his head. "Just this one. Any price is fine; I accept markups."
Even though he was a Holy Son, he didn't bully people or steal things by force.
At this moment, another disciple brought over the Elder of the Spiritual Artifact Pavilion.
"Young Master, I am truly sorry, but this necklace is a Profound-grade high-tier spiritual artifact and has already been reserved by someone else."
"If you like this style, I can apply to the sect to have a similar one made," the Elder explained, wiping sweat from his forehead.
But Lin Mo kept his eyes fixed on the necklace, refusing to let it go.
One of the female disciples grew impatient. With a smack, she slammed her hand on the counter and brought up the necklace's owner to warn him.
"Young Master, I will emphasize this one more time: this necklace is a custom order. No matter how high a price you offer, we will not sell it."
"Besides, do you even know who the owner of this custom-ordered necklace is?"
