Expensive! It was just too expensive!
A family of four only needed 10 Gold Hub Coins for a year, but this sword manual was actually priced at 1,200 Gold Hub Coins. Indeed, in this world, it wasn't about whether you wanted to be strong or not. Sometimes, even if you wanted to be strong, you simply couldn't afford a proper manual.
… …
"Then give me a Basic Sword Technique!"
Lin Muyu took out a Gold Hun Coin without hesitation. Other than the Lightning Slash, he had no other attainments in swordsmanship. It was not a bad idea to buy a Basic Swordsmanship Skill Book. The Basic Swordsmanship Skill Book reminded him of an ancient game called "Legend of Mir 2". It seemed that the first skill a warrior learned was Basic Swordsmanship Skill Book, which could increase his accuracy. Now that he saw a real Basic Swordsmanship Skill Book in his hands, he was filled with emotions.
Chu Yao naturally didn't understand what Lin Muyu was sighing about. The vendor was already holding a light green cover manual. He opened it to the first page and said, "Wind Riding Sword Technique, a sword technique that uses the laws of the wind to control the initiative in battle. Young hero, do you really not want one?"
Lin Muyu only glanced at it. The incantation was "Sword like thunder, sword like lightning" and he almost couldn't control himself. But he didn't have enough money!
"What, you don't want it?" The vendor grinned.
Lin Muyu shook his head, "I don't have enough money."
"Oh, so you're a pauper. Then goodbye." His face changed so quickly.
Lin Muyu didn't mind and said with a smile, "Sister Chu Yao, let's go take a look at the medicine store. I have two bottles of medicine to sell."
"Okay."
… …
The Hundred Battles Auction House's medicine store was located on the east side. The two arrived a few minutes later. A clerk raised his head and asked with a smile, "What do you two need?"
"I want to sell two bottles of medicine."
"Oh?" The clerk looked at the emblem on his chest in shock and said, "Brat, you're from the Spirit Medicine Division right? A person from the Spirit Medicine Division actually came to the auction house to sell medicine. Do you still have any dignity as a member of the Spirit Medicine Division? "
"You guys collect the medicine and I sell it. It's only right and proper," Lin Muyu said lightly, "Do you accept it or not? If you don't, I'll ask your immediate superior."
"Here, here, take out your medicine."
Lin Muyu reached into the bag on her waist and took out two bottles of Dream of Extreme Peaks. She placed them on the counter and said, "Let's appraise them!"
The shop assistant picked up the Peak of Dreams and sniffed it. He was stunned. "What kind of medicine is this? Why can't I smell it?"
"Dream of the Peak, level 7 medicine."
"What?" The shop assistant shuddered as if he had seen a ghost. "How is that possible? Isn't Dream of the Zenith long lost?"
At this time, an old alchemist not far away asked: "Little San, why are you so surprised?"
"Master, come and take a look!"
When the old apothecary sniffed the Peak of Dreams, his expression immediately changed. "The olfactory stimulation is really the Peak of Dreams … Heavens, how did this medicine appear on the continent again!"
As he said this, he looked at Lin Muyu. "Young man, did you refine this medicine?"
"Yes, I saw the recipe in a broken manual and concocted it."
"Wait!"
The old apothecary gave him a deep look and said, "If it really is Peak of Dreams, then your reputation will rise! How about this, follow me to the back hall. I'll go call the manager of the firm! "
"Okay!"
… …
Chu Yao was a little nervous. Lin Muyu casually led her into the back hall of the auction house. He was very confident in Peak of Dreams. Once this medicine was sold, he would have a large amount of Jin Yin coins to spend.
A few minutes later, a man around 40 years old quickly entered the back hall. He wore a very exquisite merchant's attire. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes. With one look, one could tell that he was a very shrewd person. He looked at Lin Muyu and Chu Yao in surprise and said, "Hello, two little friends. I am the boss of the Hundred Battle Firm — — Lei Baizhan. These two bottles of Peak of Dreams were refined by you? What's your name? "
"Lin Muyu!"
"Oh?" Lei Baizhan's eyes were about to shine. He smiled and said, "So you're that Lin Muyu who defeated Young City Lord Hua Wan. Haha, what a coincidence. This … … how did you obtain the recipe for Peak of Dreams?"
Lin Muyu casually made up a story. "I found it in a spirit beast nest in the Seven Stars Forest. After learning it, it was soaked in the rain on the way back. It's now a pile of fragments."
"So that's how it is." How shrewd was Lei Baizhan? He also knew that Lin Muyu wasn't willing to answer truthfully. He smiled and said, "With our Hundred Battle Firm's wealth and popularity, we can completely raise the price of Peak of Dreams for you. At least 2000 Jin Yin coins per bottle. However, I have a condition. Young Hero Lin needs to come to an agreement with us. If you refine Peak of Dreams again, you need to sell it in our Hundred Battle Firm. How about it?"
"What's in it for me?" Lin Muyu asked with a smile.
Lei Baizhan was also straightforward. He took out a pure white jade token from his chest and said, "This is the Hundred Battle Firm's VIP token. With this token, you can buy anything in the Hundred Battle Firm at a 30% discount. Moreover, you can use this token to overdraft from the treasury up to 2000 Jin Yin coins. How about it? I, Lei Baizhan, don't want to say anything more. I've already shown my sincerity."
Lin Muyu faintly smiled, "Deal!"
"Good!"
Lei Baizhan was exceptionally happy, "I will announce to the public today. Tomorrow morning, at this time, we will publicly auction two bottles of Peak of Dreams. 80% of the proceeds will go to Young Hero and 20% to the previous one. How about it?"
"Then you must also promise me one condition. Keep it a secret for me. Don't reveal to the public who these two bottles belong to."
"Good. Business should be like this. Young Hero, don't worry. Leave it to me."
"Thank you."
… …
When he arrived downstairs, he used the VIP token to withdraw 1000 Jin Yin coins. Afterwards, he went to buy the Imperial Wind Sword Art. At noon, he invited Chu Yao to a nearby restaurant to have a good meal. In the afternoon, he returned to the Hundred Spirits Medicine Store to visit Zhao Xin, Luo Kai, and the others. After leaving behind 10 Jin Yin coins to maintain the medicine store's business, he returned to the Spirit Medicine Division to finish his work and returned to his residence early to cultivate.
After practicing a few sets of Demonic Noise Fist, Lin Muyu began to practice his sword arts. The Basic Sword Arts were easy to learn. With his comprehension ability, it didn't even take an hour for him to memorize them. The Basic Sword Arts actually taught the user how to attack, defend, dodge, and other simple routines. Afterwards, he began to practice the Imperial Wind Sword Art. The foundation of this sword art was to control the power of the wind attribute, transforming it into sword qi and storing it in the sword. If he was skilled enough, the power of this sword strike could split mountains and break rocks.
When it was almost evening, Lin Muyu suddenly felt a surge of energy in his chest. He had to get it out.
Lin Muyu clearly knew that he was about to break through. Unknowingly, he had risen from level 27 to level 29 in a few days of cultivation. He was about to step into the first tier of the Earth Realm. If it was someone else, they would have been shocked to death. In fact, Lin Muyu also felt a little suspicious. Why was he advancing so quickly?
According to Qu Chu, it was because there was a demon sleeping in his body.
… …
Since he wanted to advance, he needed a beast's spirit of high quality. It was a little unrealistic to go out of the city to find it, but Lin Muyu's bag contained a spirit stone of a 3000-year-old Bloodthirsty Tiger. Refining the spirit stone was equivalent to refining the beast's spirit, which saved him a lot of trouble. Thus, he told Chu Yao about it and closed his door to cultivate.
Taking out the spirit stone and placing it beside the bed, Lin Muyu sat cross-legged on the bed and silently circulated his qi. The Green Gourd Martial Spirit came out of his body, along with the elf female officer, Lulu. Lulu's petite figure flapped her wings and flew around Lin Muyu with a smile. She said with a smile, "Congratulations brother, you're about to level up!"
Lin Muyu said, "Lulu, where have you been? I haven't felt you sleeping in my body for the past two days."
Lulu smiled, "Brother, I'm just a body of soul energy. I've been flying around the continent for the past few days, gathering information. How else could I help you?"
"Then can you help me see what materials I need to refine this Bloodthirsty Tiger Spirit Stone?"
Lulu looked at it and said, "I don't need any materials, just directly refine it. This spirit stone contains an extremely powerful bloodthirsty spirit energy. It should be able to provide the gourd with the ability to absorb energy, but I don't know what it is exactly."
"En."
Lin Muyu closed his eyes and began to focus on refining the spirit stone. The cauldron appeared, and the moment the Bloodthirsty Tiger's spirit stone fell into it, the cauldron began to tremble violently. The green gourd absorbed the spirit stone's energy in a frenzy, and the spirit stone began to break down bit by bit under the frenzied refinement. Countless strands of energy flowed into Lin Muyu's body and was absorbed by him for his own use.
… …
This process lasted for nearly an hour. When Lin Muyu slowly opened his eyes, he could see things more clearly, and the energy in his body had to be released. He opened his hand, and true energy flowed out of his body, forming an air shield with a hum. This was the skill of the first layer of the Earth Realm — Shield Qi, an ability that could greatly increase a person's defense.
When Lin Muyu looked inside his Yi Hai, he could see spikes of thorns growing out of the gourd vines. Lulu flew beside him and said, "This skill can be called Thorns. If you're pierced by the thorns, you'll be in serious trouble."
"What's the big deal?" Lin Muyu was a little displeased. This skill was somewhat disappointing.
Lulu smiled. "Because the thorns contain the bloodthirsty energy of the Bloodthirsty Tiger. Once you're pierced, your true energy will leak out like crazy."
"So that's how it is!" This was more satisfactory.
… ….
Standing up, Lin Muyu clenched his fist and gathered strength. Immediately, a powerful force lingered around his fist. This force was far stronger than before. It seemed like he had already stepped into the level 30 war master, but he had never gone to the Holy Hall to verify it. Otherwise, he would have been able to receive a lot of gold coins every month to subsidize his family.
At this moment, a knock came from the door. Xiang Xiang, the little demoness, appeared again. "Young master, Xiang Xiang has brought you and Miss Chu Yao dinner!"
