2022-04-13 20:15:08"I can't have my priorities set on short term benefits if I want to be strong, so for now I should go to the town market and see if I can buy a Steller martial cultivation art in these 5.03 gold.....fucking hell, after spending these I won't even have enough to eat. " Fuck it, I'll think about it after getting a good cultivation art."
After planning this he went out of his home and went straight to the town market.
Cloud view town's town market is located in the central square of town which is obviously in the centre of the town. In Central square there is, Residential area of town Lord, Li Chun, Li Chun is the only martial artist to have reached the peak of the houtian realm.
Central square also has a cloud view academy for martial artists, where many younglings of town's wealthy people learn martial arts and how to cultivate but it only teaches basic martial arts and basic breathing and meditation techniques and Ling Chen has already learnt these from his grandfather that is why he didn't join this academy...well truth be told if he joined it he would constantly be bullied that's why his grandfather didn't let him and taught him everything by himself despite being injured, this is one of the reasons his situation worsened. thinking this Ling Chen sighed.
...Town's market...
When Ling Chen arrived at the town's market he saw many people setting their stalls, opening shops and hawking their wares.
" Hey young master comes here and buy this sword it will suit you best. It is a good sword I crafted, buy it only for 50 copper."
" Hey handsome boy, come and buy these clothes. In these, you will shine even more. The price is very reasonable. Come, come..."...Every merchant was trying to sell their items. Ling Chen didn't waste his time wandering around and went straight to 'Newmoon trading alliance's trading firm, where you can purchase anything related to cultivation, martial arts and even furniture etc.
It is said that the 'Newmoon trading alliance' has its trading firm in every major town and city in the country and all over the continent. It has a very terrifying background that is why no matter how strong you are, you can't misbehave in a trading firm but they will treat you like a king if you are wealthy enough to give them a great profit by purchasing their expensive products and strong enough for their respect otherwise they won't care even if you a real king.
This trading firm's building was a three-story building, standing almost 100 meters tall. When Ling Chen entered the firm he saw a middle-aged man with sharp eyes and a pointing nose, dressed in white. Ling Chen went to him and was about to ask when he pointed to another man who was like his servant or assistant.
Ling Chen frowned ' the fuck is wrong with this old man, does he think he is some king to dare and behave like this.' but he didn't say anything because he knew that it was natural for him to treat him like this because he was wearing shabby clothes and looked like a beggar rather than some wealthy person.
He went to that man and asked " shopkeeper I want to buy a Steller cultivation art, may I know the price for it."
The shopkeeper looked at him and said in a cold voice " the cheapest one, right?"
Ling Chen frowned but nodded because he really can only afford something cheap.
"The cheapest one will cost you 10 gold coins. The cheapest Normal cultivation art will cost you 5 gold coins ."
'It's double the price of normal cultivation arts and that is only the cheapest and low-quality one as well' 'Ah' i can't afford it after all.' Ling Chen thought.
" Shopkeeper is there any steller cultivation art worth 5 gold?"
The shopkeeper's voice turned even colder" there aren't any, this is the cheapest one you can get. And do you think steller cultivation art will do you any good?....go away now, I don't have time to waste on you!"Ling Chen didn't say anything and quietly went out of the shop but there was a cold glint flashing in his eyes ' just you wait, old men, I'll make serve me as a servant ' Ling Chen mumbled. He was never one to be humiliated like this, it's just that he wasn't strong enough yet.

16. Enraged Feng Jiayi
"Tie mu of Tie clan greets elder." Tie mu came forward and greeted him, but there wasn't much respect shown on his face.Elder nodded his head. Tie mu then glanced at Feng Jiayi and then focused on Ling Chen and spoke in a loud voice, " Ling Chen, open your dog eyes and see my grade of talent and accept your defeat if you don't want to be humiliated even more.Saying this puffed out his chest and put his hand on the stone.After a few seconds, talent crystal glowed with green light. Seeing this, Tie mu burst out laughing " Did you see this, Ling Chen? How are you going to win the bet now? Accept your defeat, give me three kowtows and admit that you are trash compared to me. Hahaha"Ling Chen frowned but didn't retort. Although Green's unique Qi grade was impressive, it wasn't impossible to have. He was pretty sure himself that his talent wasn't any lower than a green grade.Although Ling Chen remained calm, it wasn't the same for Feng Jiayi. She immediately got angry and shouted at ti

Ling Chen hugged and softly said, "Jiayi, don't worry about that. Your big brother Chen will win today, and make him stop bothering you from now onwards." Feng Jiayi was stunned for a moment then her whole face turned red from embarrassment. She struggled for a moment, but Ling Chen didn't let go of her. She then buried her face in his chest and spoke " If Big brother Chen didn't win against him, how would i...live without...seeing...you." She hesitantly finished her sentence." Ohh! You like your big brother this much, eh! I didn't know...hehe," Ling Chen teased and let go of his hold.Feng Jiayi held her head down because she couldn't look into his eyes and spoke, " Big brother Chen you have to win, okay!" " Don't worry. I'll win." Ling Chen spoke. He then thought of something and grinned " If I defeat him, what will I get in return?"Feng Jiayi reddened. She understood what he was hinting at."If Big brother wins, then I...I will give you...a...ki...kiss." Ling Chen was startl
14. Worried Jiayi
" I only have about two days. Is it possible to learn both human ranked skills in only two days? " Ling Chen wondered.' I shouldn't take the risk and learn only one which is more helpful to raise my combat power. In that case which one should I choose?' Ling Chen had two martial skills; one was a 'Wind sword' skill, and another was an a' Flowing water' skill which was a movement type martial skill. " If I want to beat Tie mu and rank higher than him, I should use this chance to raise my attack power. For that, this 'wind sword' skill is a perfect choice. As for the movement type skill, although it will increase my agility and speed, it won't make much difference where all geniuses compete if I don't have enough firepower to eliminate them."Thinking this, he chose the 'wind sword' skill and started reading its introduction and details.' Wind sword skill is channelling type skill. using this skill, one can manipulate and channel one's Qi into their sword in a complex manner to gath

"Now get out of my way." saying this, Ling then went away." Hehe...now that you agreed to participate in the competition, I'm going to cripple you. If Even after that, Feng Jiayi didn't come to her senses and agree to be my woman, I won't mind killing you outright and have her become my sex toy with force." Tie mu grinned....Ling Chen came home, took a nice bath and slept for some time.' Now that I think about it, after grandfather's death, there is no one to look after this house if I'm out on training or something. I should hire a housekeeper and maids.' Previously they didn't have any servants to take care of their residence because of lack of money but now that started his cultivation journey, there wouldn't be any lack of funds anymore. This confidence wasn't only because of his powerful cultivation of art but also because of his confidence in himself.He then put out a recruitment notice at the front gate of his residence and set the appo
12. Tie mu's Challenge
" I'm rich! I'm rich! " He almost jumped in excitement. Although it's normal for Houtian realm cultivators to have this much wealth for Ling Chen, it wasn't any less than a treasure trove. After all, he was only 14 years old now and never had this much wealth, so it was normal for him to be this excited.He quickly went through his loot and stored it in his spatial bag. He now had over 3000 gold, 2300 body tempering pills, two jars of Houtian pills which had 40 pills in total. There were also some weapons, but they were very common; only a sword caught his eyes which he found in the spatial bag. It was a three feet long blue sword. It was quite light and had some runes engraved on its blade. He swung the sword around and could feel it cutting through the air without any resistance. It was like a part of his body." I should learn some sword skills, it would increase my combat power exponentially." after swinging the sword around he stored it in the bag. Lastly, h
11. Yu Yan
The young lady looked at him without any reaction but her gaze flickered for a moment. The old man didn't outright kill him, instead, he released his aura and spoke in a cold and imperious tone while pointing with his finger at the corpses" Give me a reason that I shouldn't kill you just like these trash." Ling Chen felt his heart shuddering. But he tried to remain calm and without showing any hint of intimidation, He brought his fists together and spoke respectfully " Venerable old man, I am not an accomplice of this trash. I was just going home but saw them surrounding you guys so I came to see what was happening. I wasn't stalking you or anything like that." The old man squinted his eyes seeing that ling Chen showed no signs of intimidation and could speak without nervousness and remain calm under the influence of his aura with only his 5th layer body tempering realm cultivation. The old man was about to speak when an indifferent voice sounde
