Chapter 37
After Su Yang left the Mission Hall, he went home to wash away the sweat he received during his cultivation with Lan Liqing and changed the robe he received from the Medicine Hall.
After which, he went to the White Pearl Treasury Office to prepare himself for the trip to the Thunder Valley, which was several hundred miles away from the Profound Flower Sect.
"You again?" The old man there was surprised to see Su Yang appear there. He thought that Su Yang would consume Pure Yang Flowers now, yet he seemed to be fine – no, he looked a little different, as if there was something profound about him.
"What happened to the Pure Flower Yang? Did you change your mind at the last minute? I don't accept returns here at the White Pearl Treasury, you know?" the old man said in case Su Yang wanted to ask for a refund.
"I'm here to buy swords and gold," Su Yang said calmly, deliberately ignoring the old man's question.
"Swares and gold? Why do you need something like that?"
"I received a mission that required me to hunt some ferocious beasts. The journey will be long, and I need at least a weapon to defend myself when the time comes."
Su Yang's plan left the old man confused. Why did he obtain the Pure Yang Flower and then go hunting a few days later? Nothing made sense in the old man's head.
"What are you hunting?" The old man asked with a relaxed expression.
"Senior, with all due respect, I'm in a hurry. I don't remember the White Pearl Treasury ever caring about a mere Outer Court disciple like me." Su Yang said, his voice still indifferent as usual.
"You-you!" The old man was obviously angered by Su Yang's rude remark, but he did not say anything and only frowned.
After a while, he said in a quiet tone: "You're right .. I've been unreasonable. There is no need for me to get involved with your business. What kind of sword do you want? A normal sword would cost around 5 Premium Points "What about gold? This would be 10 Premium Points for one gold."
"Only normal steel swords can be used. As for gold .. I want 10 gold."
Su Yang gave him what little Premium Points he had left after buying Pure Yang Flowers, and now he was bankrupt again.
"I'll be right back," the old man said after he confirmed that it was the right amount.
Moments later, the old man returned with a sword in a black leather sheath and a small brown bag.
Su Yang received the item and left immediately afterward.

After Su Yang disappeared for a few minutes, the old man asked for a replacement and disappeared into the Mission Hall.
"Older Zhao!"
When the elders in the Mission Hall noticed the presence of the old man, they all stood up and bowed respectfully.
"Did an Outer Court disciple named Su Yang come here today for a mission?" Elder Zhao asked then with a serious expression.
"Su Yang? He received a hunting mission for the Thunder Valley just a few minutes ago," said the person who recorded Su Yang into the notebook.
"Hunting in the Thunder Valley? The place where Lightning Cats ran amok lately? Why would someone at the tier 3 Elementary Spirit Realm accept such an impossible mission?" Elder Zhao pondered.
"This is it, Elder Zhao."
"Hmm ... let me see – Level 1 Profound Spirit Realm?!?!" Elder Zhao could not help but exclaim loudly after seeing the notebook, sounding as if he had just seen a ghost, his loud voice shocking everyone within the Mission Hall.
"Is there something wrong with the notebook, Elder Zhao?" ask the elder with a worried face.
"Is there something wrong with the notebook, Elder Zhao?" ask the elder with a worried face.
However, Elder Zhao only continued to stare at the notebook as if he was in a daze. "How could he have been in the 1st Profound Spirit Realm when he had just been in the Basic Spirit Realm level two weeks ago?!?!"
Elder Zhao suddenly realized why he felt a strange feeling coming from Su Yang when he saw it. Although it was barely recognizable, it was a profound aura that only a person in the Profound Spirit Realm could emit, something that was not in him before he obtained the Pure Yang Flower!
"That brat actually managed to consume the Pure Yang Flower, something that even I dare not try! His cultivation base even surged because of it!"
When Elder Zhao discovered the truth, he was greatly shocked. How could a mere Outer Court disciple in the Basic Spirit Realm consume the Pure Yang Flower when even he, an Earth Spirit Realm expert, would have trouble consuming it?
"I've been played! that, Su Yang was a sly little boy! Who said he was an incompetent person ?! That guy's a monster! I must report this to the sect master as soon as possible!"
Elder Zhao looked at the elder in charge of the notebook and said, "Unless I tell you, don't show the notebook to anyone else! This is a direct order!"
"Yes, Elder Zhao!"
After which, Elder Zhao left the Mission Hall in a hurry, leaving everyone there confused.
"To make the great Elder Zhao so riled up .. Just who is this Su Yang?" The sect elders there secretly wondered to themselves.

"I wonder if that old man managed to handle it now?" Su Yang wondered to himself as he approached the front gate that would take him to the outside world.
When he was in the White Pearl Treasury Office, he realized that Elder Zhao had been investigating him the entire time, almost as if he was investigating him.
"It's just a Pure Yang Flower, yet they treat it as if it's some kind of heavenly medicine .. Aiya ... it hurts so much ..." Su Yang sighed to himself.
"Stop! Where do you think you're going, Outer Court student?"
The guards standing at the entrance gate stopped Su Yang when they saw him approaching.
“I have business in Thunder Valley.” Su Yang showed them the mission he had received from the Mission Hall.
The guards checked the stamp on the mission paper and confirmed the authenticity of the stamp.
"alright. It's safe out there."
They opened the gate, and Su Yang casually walked out, immediately disappearing from the sight of the guards.
