Martial World's
Chapter 26 - Breakthrough
After listening to Lin Ming's words and seeing this extremely long list, the shopkeeper flushed. Did this village hick think that the Hundred Treasures Hall was somewhere where he could play around? Such a large order would cost several thousand taels of gold at a minimum! It was as if this little boy was buying bok choy at the market! Spending a few thousand taels of gold, even the sons of those noble families would not be able to afford that much!
He waved the list impatiently and placed it on the counter, then said, "I'll give you both a warning, for anyone intentionally causing trouble in the Hundred Treasure Halls, after all, there will be severe consequences!"
"I'll warn your mother!" Lin Xiaodong slapped his hand into the shop owner's hand. The shopkeeper had only ever done business and had no talent for practicing martial arts, and with a loud pat from Lin Xiaodong, he shouted pitifully.
"You!" The shopkeeper did not believe this hooligan would dare to cause a commotion in the Hundred Treasures Hall!
"Look at you arrogant little bastard, we young masters have money!" As Lin Xiaodong said this, he reached into Lin Ming's robe and took the gold banknotes near his chest. He slammed it into the table with 100 jin strength, and the table shook. With the gold banknotes in hand, Lin Xiaodong's confidence shot through the roof. This shopkeeper was already sick in his eyes; how could he miss this opportunity to teach the rude man a lesson?
The shopkeeper froze when he saw the gold banknotes. His eyes flashed as he fiercely calculated the total amount in that pile of bills. It was a banknote each worth 1000 gold taels! With that the total amount should be at least several thousand taels! He soon realized that the gold banknotes were the real deal. As long as he went to the bank that was part of the chamber of commerce, he could exchange it for gold taels.
The shopkeeper was really surprised. He measured Lin Ming as well as Lin Xiaodong. These two little men were absolutely not children from noble families. Just a few days ago Lin Ming was just a poor boy selling symbol paper door to door. Where did he suddenly obtain so much wealth? Did he really sell that symbol paper?
It was impossible; the inscription of an apprentice inscription master would be unimaginable to sell for that much money
Two new upstart rich boys; he did not realize that they had suddenly become high-class characters and had acted arrogantly in front of them. But money is god, and this is a temple.
He rubbed his swollen hands like grapefruit and smiled. Taking the list, he quickly scanned it. On it are listed ingredients that are not cheap! Other than the items Lin Ming wanted, he quickly calculated that this business transaction was close to 6000 gold taels!
This was equal to the price of two rare treasures! And with the commission he could earn 120 taels of gold for himself!
This is not a small amount! Although his heart was still a little upset, it was not worth the amount of money at stake. So the shopkeeper humbled and bowed and said, “I the fool did not recognize the guest of honor so honored to have appeared. Please wait, I will get everything ready soon. ”
The shopkeeper's body swelled like a pig with too much gas, yet he moved like the wind. Lin Ming wanted various materials that were all in different parts of the store, but the shopkeeper quickly stood up and quickly with his hands and immediately gathered them all together. The shopkeeper smiled brightly as he said, “Two honored guests, please check the authenticity of the item. The total was 5800 taels of gold. ”
Looking at the pile of items, Lin Xiaodong asked Lin Ming, "Is this everything, brother Lin?"
Lin Ming said, "Yes, this seems to be it."
Now, Lin Xiaodong's mouth twitched and he cunningly smiled and said, "Sorry, this is embarrassing but I want to see a different shopkeeper to pay for."
The happy face of the shop owner immediately stiffened.
In a high-end store like the Hundred Treasure Halls, it was only natural that the value of a store owner depended on his ability to sell. Therefore, all the shop owners here take a commission for all the items they sell themselves.
Lin Xiaodong understood this, and decided to make things difficult for the slimy man. "Please move a little faster, we want to get this done as soon as possible."
The shopkeeper noticed that Lin Xiaodong was deliberately playing tricks on him, and his heart ignited in anger. If a junior from the noble house had decided to play him then he would bear it, but both of them were just some newly minted hicks that became wealth. They did not have the right to be so arrogant! How could he allow himself to be under their mercy? His voice was cold as he said, “In this Hundred Treasures Hall, I am the only store owner. Who suggested I find another? ”
“You little clown, don't try to lie to us. Quick go, otherwise I will complain to your boss!”
"Continue!" The shopkeeper sneered. The boss? The idiot thought he could see the boss just because he wanted to? He was preparing a few more harsh words when his eyes suddenly caught something. In the gold note was a purple gold card. It was the card Muyi had given Lin Ming; the VIP card! Everyone who uses one will automatically be given a ten percent discount to all stores that are under government jurisdiction!
It was the purple gold VIP card of Martial Quarters and Imperial Family!
The shop owner's heart was beating fast. This VIP card was given by the chamber of commerce to the Royal Family and Martial Quarters to please them. To date, there have been less than 100 sent!
The only ones who had the qualifications to possess one were members of the Imperial Family or top-tier figures in the Martial Quarters. Any one of these numbers could squeeze it like an insect!
He's done! It's all over! These two little rascals actually had the background and qualifications to do as they wished! It was even possible that they were the little sons of the Emperor in disguise and came out of the Imperial Palace to play around.
Damnit damnit! His luck is dog shit like that! The shopkeeper was desperate.
Lin Xiaodong was stunned. This guy, is he taking crazy pills?
The shopkeeper moved with fear and trepidation and found another shopkeeper to close the deal. He continued to apologize and ended up also calling the carriage to bring them back.
When they returned to Lin Ming's inn, Lin Xiaodong did not know that the reason the shopkeeper's action was the purple gold VIP card. He thought that it was gold that made the arrogant shopkeeper so charmed that his current mood was excellent. “Haha, that's fun. Damn, remembering the scared expressions of the shopkeepers really made me want to laugh! Brother Lin, if you are not injured, I will complain to the boss of that Hundred Treasures Hall and make that arrogant fellow pack his bags and leave.”
Lin Ming had actually been watching clearly, and knew that when the shopkeeper saw the purple gold VIP card, his expression had greatly changed. He could not resist******* emotion when he thought that the power and influence of the Martial Quarter that had accumulated over time was no less than that of the Imperial Family!
He said, “Little people have a small way of life. Adulation and rudeness are what they have to learn to live. No need to be so cruel to them. Xiaodong, this flexible armor and these three Golden Deer Pills are for you. ” Golden Deer Pill is able to remove impurities in the body. The first is the most effective, and after that the efficacy becomes two. Taking more than three will generally be futile.
As for the Soul Gathering Pellets, there was no limit to taking them, but it was only suitable for those who were diligent in training; lin Xiaodong was naturally useless to them.
Three Golden Deer Pills and flexible armor added value to nearly 1000 gold taels. For Lin Xiaodong this was a large sum of money, and he hesitated for a moment until he thought of Lin Ming's story. If true then 1000 taels of gold was only a drop in the bucket compared to what he would produce in the future. Thinking of this, he received the items and smiled with a laugh as he said, “Then I will accept it shamelessly. Big brother Lin, you will later become my umbrella protector, haha. ”
Lin Ming smiled and said, “We are brothers, there is no need for formalities between us. Other than that ..." Li Ming took out the remaining 3000 gold taels, "When the family envoy comes next time to Sky Fortune City, help me give this to my parents and have them buy a restaurant."
Lin Ming's parents had invested more than half of their lives into that restaurant, and naturally had a close attachment to it. Lin Ming first thought of helping them by buying them.
“Alright, let me handle this matter.”
As Lin Xiaodong left, Lin Ming returned to his room alone. He looked at the calendar and saw that the entrance examination of the Seven Profound Martial House was only fifty days away. In these fifty days, he must be reborn!
Regardless of the Golden Deer Pill or Soul Gatherer Pellet, these medicines were unable to directly increase the cultivation of a martial artist. The former removes body impurities, and the latter makes it easier to train with soul force. Combined together, they could increase the speed he could train.
As for increasing one's cultivation directly, these medicines could be purchased, but they had the implication that they created more impurities in soul power. Although cultivation would increase rapidly, the foundation would not be stable, and one would have to spend a lot of time consolidating the foundation to be stable.
Therefore Lin Ming was in no hurry to purchase this kind of medicine.
…
Right now, Lin Ming was among the treetops, and finally began to drink the first Golden Deer Pill.
Although the Golden Deer Pill was expensive, it was actually not a rare medicine. Although Lin Ming knew how to increase medicinal potential with inscription techniques, it was unnecessary for the Golden Deer Pill, so he ate it directly.
Lin Ming had filled a large wooden barrel with water. He stripped himself naked and then jumped in. Inside his body, the medicine began to dissolve with him. He could feel a stream of heat circulating in his chest.
Lin Ming began to meditate and rotate the 'True Primal Chaos Formula'. Soul power moved within his body and the Golden Deer Pull began to show its usefulness.
With the onset of the effect, Lin Ming felt a slight tingling sensation and his body began to purify.
The body of a martial artist, since he was born, would be constantly exposed to the contaminated houtian air of the world. This type of air is contained in every breath, in the grains they eat, in the rivers and streams and lakes they drink. It is inevitable that dirt will accumulate in the body. Golden Deer Pills contain a small amount of xiantian air from the deer embryo, and thus they can purify the body.
Lin Ming lay in the wooden barrel all night. The surface of the water began to glitter with greasy dark oil. This was Lin Ming's filth! Junior aristocratic families would begin this process from the age of twelve. They would practice martial arts after their bodies were forged and purified. Soaking in rare medicinal baths was common to them, and they naturally had less impurities in their bodies, and it would be easier to integrate soul power. Even if they were a third-rate talent like Lin Ming, he would find it difficult to keep up with this junior.
At dawn, Lin Ming finally opened his eyes. The Golden Deer Pill had been completely absorbed by him, and his body had been purified.
Lin Ming again twisted the 'Primal Formula of True Chaos'. It was really easier to circulate the soul force in his body! Lin Ming also discovered something else; it seemed like soul force had spread throughout his body. This was the initial stage of the Second Stage of Body Transformation!
Lin Ming had finally reached the Second Stage of Body Transformation!
