Legend of the Monster
Chapters 5. Buying Spirit Potions
The Blue Moon City at night was quite quiet.
Inside his room, Ling Tian sat cultivating absorbing the dense Heaven and Earth energy. He tried to raise his cultivation level even by a little, as his current cultivation level was still far away from breaking through to the third stage of the Golden Star.
He needed an enormous amount of energy in order to break through. The higher his cultivation level was, the more resources he needed. In order to raise his cultivation, he needed the Blood Pearl Pill.
The Blood Pearl Pill was a pill that Gold Star cultivators desperately needed. The ingredients to make these pills were also very expensive. It takes a 5-star Alchemist or higher to make it.
When morning arrived, Ling Tian ended his cultivation. Today he intended to go look for the Spirit Potion he needed to make the Blood Pearl Pill.
The main ingredients of the pill were 500-year-old Blood Ginseng, 500-year-old Red Dragon Grass, 500-year-old Moon Mushroom. The older the age of the Spirit Potion, the greater the pill energy it produced.
Ling Tian then left the inn and went to the shopping mall in the middle of the city. After arriving, he entered the largest store that had a four-story building and sold various kinds of Spirit Potions.
Inside the shop, Ling Tian also saw many Bronze Star cultivators who were buying Spirit Potions. He went to take a look, but Ling Tian only shook his head because on this floor there was no Spirit Potion he was looking for.
Ling Tian then went up to the 2nd floor, and he also saw this floor filled with Silver Star cultivators. Most of them are 17-18 years old, their clothes look luxurious and expensive.
"It seems like the noble geniuses are gathered here," Ling Tian thought inwardly.
Ling Tian then paid them no more attention, he continued walking to look around this Spirit Potion on the 2nd floor.
Here Ling Tian seemed to look very conspicuous, as he was the only one whose clothes looked mediocre. In their eyes, there had yet to be someone like Ling Tian on this floor.
Other than the price of the Spirit Potion here was extremely expensive, this floor was also specially for Silver Star cultivators. Looking through Ling Tian's age which was around 15-16 years old, they thought that his cultivation was also only at the eighth or ninth stage of the Bronze Star. Because Ling Tian also did not look like the other geniuses, but instead looked like an ordinary cultivator.
They also could not see Ling Tian's cultivation level, so they thought maybe Ling Tian was cultivating a technique to hide his low cultivation.
Ling Tian, who did not know the thoughts of these geniuses, went to the cashier and asked about the Spirit Potion he was looking for. Because after going around to check, he still did not see a single one of those Spirit Potions.
Those who heard the Spirit Potion he said were immediately shocked. Some laughed and some laughed.
"Because knowing the price here is very expensive, he pretended to ask about the Spirit Potion that is not on this floor," said a young man sneering.
"Haha ... He would humiliate himself for not being able to afford it," said the other young man with a laugh.
"Enough! Take care of yourself, don't interfere in other people's business." A very beautiful girl around 16-17 years old was trying to defend Ling Tian.
Hearing the girl try to defend Ling Tian, one of the young men looked displeased. He liked the girl very much, but the girl always ignored him.
"Yue'er, why are you defending her?" The young man seemed to not accept what the girl said.
"Maybe because I'm so handsome." Before the girl spoke, Ling Tian had answered the question of the young man with a smile.
Hearing what Ling Tian said, the girl laughed. While the young man had clenched his teeth because of holding back anger. He immediately walked over to Ling Tian, but the girl immediately blocked him.
"Stop! What are you gonna do? Don't make a fuss here" said the girl as she spread out her hands.
Seeing the girl blocking him, the young man felt jealous and grew angry. Then he shouted to Ling Tian, "Are you not ashamed of taking cover behind a girl?"
"Did I say something wrong? I was indeed very handsome, and everyone who was here also saw that I was not taking refuge behind a girl, but the girl herself who voluntarily protected me. So, I'm very grateful to him. Thank you, beautiful lady!" Ling Tian said while teasing the girl.
Hearing Ling Tian's words teasing her, the girl's face turned red. As for the young man, he could no longer contain his anger from jealousy.
Very quickly the young man twisted around avoiding the girl who was blocking him, then rushed to attack Ling Tian.
Had Ling Tian been unable to control his strength, perhaps the young man's body would have exploded.
Everyone who was in that place was so shocked that their mouths were open. Their bodies also felt cold and trembling. They all felt lucky for not going along to provoke Ling Tian.
The girl who tried to protect Ling Tian earlier was now silent like a statue, not knowing what to do. In his heart he said, "A 15-year-old defeated an 18-year-old genius cultivator whose cultivation was at the fifth stage of the Silver Star with just a swing of his hand. Does he deserve to be called a genius? It was no longer just a genius, but he should be called a Monster."
While the cashier who had just been silent, now his body was trembling and sweating. Stammeredly he said that the Spirit Potion Ling Tian was looking for was upstairs. He immediately rushed Ling Tian up to the 3rd floor.
Ling Tian walked towards the still silent girl. "From you dumbly, mending with me upstairs," Ling Tian said, holding the girl's hand and taking her to the 3rd floor.
The girl obediently followed Ling Tian. His feet would not obey his will anymore. And when he reached the 3rd floor, his face turned even more red. Other than his father and grandfather, only this time there was a man holding his hand. He could only fall down in shame.
On this floor Ling Tian noticed there were only a handful of people, they were all Gold Star cultivators. These cultivators were also astonished to see Ling Tian and the girl who was with him. They could only see the level of cultivation in the girl but not Ling Tian.
Ling Tian just continued to walk after the cashier without caring about them. The cashier took Ling Tian to where the Spirit Potion he was in.
"This is all the Spirit Potion you need, Young Master!" said the cashier in a slightly awkward tone.
"How much is everything from that Spirit Potion?" ling Tian said as he inspected all the Spirit Potions he was looking for.
"For a Blood Ginseng it costs 7000 gold coins, for a Red Dragon Grass it costs 5000 gold coins, and for a Moon Mushroom it costs 3000 gold coins. All were 500 years old, and the total price was 15 thousand gold coins" the cashier said.
The girl that Ling Tian had brought was greatly shocked after knowing the price of each Spirit Potion that Ling Tian was going to buy. While the Spirit Potion he bought on the 2nd floor earlier, only about hundreds of gold coins and it was already very expensive for him.
"Are these teenagers really that rich? But from the looks of it, he looks ordinary." The girl nodded with a tone of astonishment.
"Is there any more stock of all these Spirit Potions?" asked Ling Tian calmly. He was planning to make many Blood Pearl Pills.
"Our shop has ten parts each of each of those Spirit Potions and only our shop has stock of those ingredients, too," replied a middle-aged man who walked towards Ling Tian.
"Include me, my name is Zhou Cheng. I am the owner of this shop, Young Master!" The middle-aged man said with a smile.
"Oh, Mr. Zhou, my name is Ling Tian. Then I'll buy everything."
Zhou Cheng gasped for a moment then said, "Since Young Master Ling wants to buy everything, our shop will give you a VIP card and a 10% discount%. So the total is 135 thousand gold coins."
"Enter all of what this lady bought into my total payment, too," Ling Tian said as he glanced at the girl beside him.
"That's not necessary, Young Master Ling!" zhou Cheng said and instructed the cashier to return all the money the girl had paid.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou." Then Ling Tian let go of his hand grip on the girl, then took out 135 thousand gold coins and handed them to Zhou Cheng.
The girl felt like something was missing as Ling Tian's fingers no longer held her hand. However, he himself did not know what those lost feelings were.
