Dragon Monarch
Chapter 39 - Lin Yan Cunning Fox (3)
“It's very heavy!” inner Lin Yan. If he did not use qi, he would not be able to lift that blue spear. Even using qi he barely balanced holding it. But he was excited because this kind of weapon was what he wanted.
“From now on, I will name you, Sky King Spear.” Lin Yan said with a smile on his face. The reason he made such a name was because of the exact same color as the bright blue sky. He immediately kept it because he had to use a lot of qi just to lift it.
“It was unexpected that you would be able to lift such a heavy spear. Also, the name you gave is very suitable.” Long Zu of course praised Lin Yan. He would never see Lin Yan's prodigious trousers. He wanted to tie her to the Royal Family.
Lin Yan chuckled and then sat back down beside the maid.
“What's your name?” lin Yan asked the servant because from the beginning he had never asked.
“Huan Caiyi sir.” replied Huan Caiyi in a daze as he was still surprised by Lin Yan's ability to lift the spear. If he did not bring the Heavenly King Spear with the space ring, he would not be able to bring it into the room.
“Good name.” comment Lin Yan flat then look towards Long Zu again to continue the transaction.
“Good. At the moment three swords have become ours. Then we will discuss one more sword.” Long Zu stored the three swords into his spatial ring and took out some objects.
The three items that Lin Yan had bought were visible on the table.
“First you bought these three things. Before that, I asked about something. Do you know about this pill?” ask Long Zu.
“No. Since the Alchemists in this Kingdom do not know what this pill is, I want to see if my grandmother who possesses the Alchemist skill can unravel its secrets.” replied Lin Yan while taking one pill and watching it closely.
Long Zu and Long Ti did not hesitate with Lin Yan's words. It was already like a competition to show that the Lin Yan family's skill was higher even though actually everything he said about the family was nonsense. Even if his grandmother was an Alchemist as well, he would not have to bother dismantling it because he already knew what the effect was.
“Two herbs and two pills. All of them did not have a price worth the sword. That said, it would only cut 7-10% of the price of the sword. Do you agree?” ask Long Zu.
“Not that it's just 5%?” asked Lin Yan pouting.
“Cih, it seems this boy knows the price of this sword.” Long Zu clucked inwardly thinking he could still take advantage of Lin Yan.
“Since you have already given us the advantage, well, we will raise the price of the last sword.” Long Zu defended himself so as not to look he wanted to take profit.
Long Ti simply chuckled as it looked his nephew had mistakenly thought that Lin Yan did not particularly consider swords to be high priced.
Meanwhile Huan Caiyi was shocked to hear that. He had already made an estimate that the previous spear replaced by one sword and two other swords taken by Long Zu was the price to pay his debts.
Then Long Zu took out another resource that made Lin Yan's eyes slightly sparkle even though they were invisible.
“This is the three best herbs we can exchange with this sword. One of them had a price of 450,000-500,000 gold coins. Each herb has a lifespan of at least 5,000 years. And of course this herbal class is much higher than Fire Ginseng and Dark Flowers.” Long Zu said with a small smile. It certainly raised the price a little. This is a way of trading anywhere.
“Golden Lotus, Mushroom Long Life, Heart of Lightning Tree.” Inner Lin Yan. He immediately recognized the three types of herbs with just one lyric. And the age of each of the herbs was, 6,500 years, 5,200 years and the latter made Lin Yan startled amazingly, The Heart of the Lightning Tree was over 10,000 years old.
The Heart of the Lightning Tree would not be easy to see its true age due to the rejection from within the herbs that made cultivators only clarify the lifespan according to its magnitude. But not for Lin Yan who had read all of his grandmother's herbal books.
The Heart of the Lightning Tree that had surpassed 10,000 years of age did indeed have the same size as the one that was 5,000 years less. But there are small differences that no one will notice. It was the number of unique lines present in the herbs. Although it looks the same in the number of lines, no one will notice that one line has passed the length of the other and one long line indicates that its age has exceeded 10,000 years.
Lin Yan had not expected that he would obtain such a rare item this time. But he kept his face as usual and stared at the three herbs in turn.
“Good. I agree.” said Lin Yan and saved all the objects.
“Then this last one, I want to see if you guys know the price.” said Lin Yan while taking out a stone that had strange writings on every corner.
From the note left by his grandmother inside the space ring, it was the inscription knowledge he had mastered. Although he did not learn the language, he certainly had mastered all the inscription skills recorded in the stone.
“This.” Long Zu and Long Ti could barely contain their emotions because of course they knew about the inscription knowledge.
“You must know that this is an inscription skill.” Lin Yan smiled full of calm as he saw the reaction of Long Zu and Long Ti.
Long Zu and Long Ti's retreat dried up as they could not retaliate. They already knew that Lin Yan was cunning and could see their reactions.
“How much price do you guys offer?” asked Lin Yan triumphantly.
Long Zu and Long Ti looked at each other. Of course they understood after reading a few lines about inscription making. This had exceeded their expectations with the last thing that Lin Yan had taken out.
“Good. This time I won't beat around.” Long Zu took out a pill and an herb on the table.
“This is the Sky Qi pill. Able to increase cultivation in a very large amount. Made from tens of thousands of years old herbs by the top Alchemists of Star Kingdom.”
“And this is the best herb we have, Lasting Crystal Flower is 10,000 years old!”
