NOVEL NEXT Chapter 122: Forget about Sleeping
The female cultivator laughed heartily. "Don't worry. You can drink as much as you like today." She winked at Lan Zhi. "You must be Lan Zhi, right? I'm Bei Menxin, the pavilion master of the Artifact Pavilion. I've recently refined some little trinkets for girls to wear. Which set do you think looks nice?" As she spoke, she laid out seven or eight sets of various spiritual treasure jewelry, including hairpins, swaying hair ornaments, necklaces, earrings, jade pendants, armlets, bracelets, wristbands, and anklets. Each piece was glittering with jewels and had a magnificent glow. Lan Zhi took a quick look and raised her hand to point at one set. "This one." Bei Menxin asked again, "Any others?" Lan Zhi pointed at another set. Bei Menxin nodded with satisfaction, put the two sets of jewelry that Lan Zhi had pointed at into jewelry boxes respectively, and handed them to her. "Here you are." Lan Zhi was stunned for a moment and quickly said, "No, no need." Bei Menxin said, "A girl can't be too plain. Hall Master Shang, don't you think so?" Shang Ruqi had already sat down to drink tea. Hearing this, he showed an expression that said he didn't dare to oppose. "Yes, yes, you're right." Lan Zhi understood. After thinking for a while, she took the initiative to say, "I don't really use jewelry much, but I need to change my storage bracelet to one with a larger space. Do you have any resources in this regard?" Bei Menxin said, "There are plenty of them." She immediately took out a bunch of storage armlets, bracelets, wristbands, and anklets. Each of them had at least ten cubic meters of space. She asked Lan Zhi to choose whichever she liked. Lan Zhi didn't need to look inside. She just picked a bracelet made of a dozen red three-dimensional diamond-shaped gems according to her preference. A faint halo flowed on the surface of the bracelet. When she wore it on her hand, it reflected her fair and white skin, looking almost dazzlingly gorgeous. Bei Menxin praised, "Sure enough, it's you. You have really good taste." After giving the gifts, Bei Menxin didn't waste any more time. She took out alternative metals for the sound-recording stone shells and discussed with the two of them. The metal that Lan Zhi casually used to make the shells was too expensive. To reduce the cost, Bei Menxin found several similar substitute metals. The three of them compared the performance and prices one by one. After trying to make the shells, they selected two of them and made two versions. The high-end version was for noble families, and the ordinary version was for those from poor families, just like the Songxia Dew. However, apart from the appearance, the only difference between the two versions was the size of the star stones inside the sound-recording stones. The star stones in the ordinary version were a bit smaller, while those in the high-end version were larger. After determining the versions, Bei Menxin immediately summoned the artifact cultivators who didn't know how to make sound-recording stones to come and learn to make the shells. Making the shells wasn't difficult. After the artifact cultivators confirmed the process and style, they started working immediately before dawn. She watched for a while and didn't find any problems. She was just about to tell Shang Ruqi that she wanted to go back to rest. However, before she could open her mouth, Chang Lize came with a beauty who had a particularly classical appearance. Upon introduction, it turned out to be the pavilion master of the Sound Cultivation Pavilion. Lan Zhi: "..." Well, she could forget about sleeping tonight. The pavilion master of the Sound Cultivation Pavilion, Zuo Shiwan, began by apologizing for being abrupt and then said softly, "Our Sound Cultivation Pavilion is too remote. Usually, we can't help with anything. As a result, there are fewer and fewer students. There are less than forty left this year. If this continues, we'll have to close down in two years." Shang Ruqi heard how serious she said it and quickly said, "It won't come to that. It won't." Zuo Shiwan said, "I usually don't have the nerve to trouble you. Well, just now, Xiao Ze came and said that you wanted to record some songs and tunes. I thought about whether there was anything else I could do to help, so I came with him. You guys carry on with your work. Just call me if you need me."
