Chapter 251 - Reunion of Old Friends (1/2)

Edited by Lord Immortal

Mu Wansu was in a trance; the attendant next to her also seemed to have something on his mind.

With a little hesitation, the attendant gritted his teeth and said, “Master, judging from Childe Lin’s status now, he seems unqualified to have the chief VIP seat, doesn’t he?”

“Why not?” Mu Wansu uttered thoughtlessly.

The attendant took a deep breath and elaborated, “Although Childe Lin is now famous in Mist City and his reputation is in full swing, he is just a practitioner in the Human-gang Realm after all. He’s neither a dignitary nor a descendant of a noble family. But the chief VIP seats are for the most honored guests in Mist City, such as the governor of Southwestern Province Liu Wujun, head of Mist College Wei Lingzhen and commander-in-chief of Ziling Army Du Dongtu; only they can be qualified to have the chief VIP seats.”

After a pause, he continued, “If we let Childe Lin sit side by side with these big shots, it will spoil the rules and arouse a lot of dissatisfaction.”

With a hum, Mu Wansu said calmly, “Have you finished with your words?”

The attendant was stupefied, “What’s your idea, master?”

Mu Wansu coldly warned, “You’re right in all you’ve said, but you’re wrong about one thing: Lin Xun is different from all of the others. Remember, he must have one of the chief VIP seats. If anyone dares to snub him because of these, just pack up and get out of here!”

The attendant trembled, his head covered in sweat. He finally realized that his master was serious about arranging a chief VIP seat for Lin Xun this time!

But how on earth was Lin Xun different from others?

The attendant couldn’t figure it out.

In fact, neither could Mu Wansu do. Why would the third Childe Shi Yu personally give such an order? Was Lin Xun so important now?

This already made Mu Wansu a bit jealous of Lin Xun. It had only been more than a year since they last saw each other, but the world seemed to be more his oyster…

…

After leaving the Commune of Spiritual Tattooists, Lin walked along the street into the “House of Treasure Pills”.

The House of Treasure Pills was the top-class drugstore in Mist City where all kinds of spiritual pills were sold. They were all high quality and able to meet the needs of most practitioners.

Of course, their price was also extremely high. The ordinary practitioners could not afford them at all.

Most importantly, powerful pharmacists were residing in the House of Treasure Pills. Even some unique spiritual pills which one couldn’t find in the Commune of Spiritual Tattooists were sold there.

The Cloud-gang and Purple-spirit Pill which Lin needed for his cultivation could only be bought from here.

So far, Lin’s cultivation already showed a sign of Mastery in the Human-gang Realm. His cultivation had improved a lot especially after a lot of combat trainings these days.

If his cultivation could keep improving at this pace, Lin could fully reach Mastery of Human-gang Realm at least before the Province Test.

But he couldn’t wait any longer. In another month, he was about to enter the third test of Green-cloud Path in Heaven-accessing Place. He had only three tries this time, so he dared not to make light of it.

In order to be fully prepared, improving his cultivation had undoubtedly become a top priority.

With that, Lin naturally couldn’t do without the supply of spiritual pills. When he exercised his cultivation in the past, he had been taking the Sapphire-Gang & Spirit-refining pill, which was of decent quality but surely inferior to Cloud-gang & Purple-spirit Pill.

The difference could also be seen from their price. A bottle of sixty Sapphire-Gang & Spirit-refining pills was worth fifty imperial gold coins while a bottle of thirty Cloud-gang & Purple-spirit Pills needed a whole one hundred imperial gold coins!

A hundred imperial gold coins, amounting to ten thousand silver coins, could only buy thirty Cloud-gang & Purple-spirit Pills. It was really unaffordable for ordinary practitioners.

In the past, Lin would also be unwilling to buy such expensive pills, but because he had promised to help Liu Qingyan repair her Ancient-rhythm Ocarina, he received a full reward of ten thousand imperial gold coins. So, the Cloud-gang & Purple-spirit Pills were no longer a big expense for him now.

Exiting the Treasure Pill Store, Lin Xun had already spent a thousand imperial gold coins. Correspondingly, he now had ten bottles of Cloud-gang & Purple-spirit Pills.

Such a speed of spending money would surely make a lot of practitioners stunned!

But Lin Xun did not think so. In his view, the reason he made money was exactly to pave the way for his cultivation. If he had the money but didn’t spend it, that would be a true waste of money.

“These pills should be enough to enable me to reach Mastery of Human-gang Realm before attempting the test …”

Lin Xun thought to himself as he walked.

Before long, he was suddenly attracted by a quarrel. When he looked up, he saw more than a dozen strong men with ruffian looks on the side of the street surrounding a shop and scolding loudly.

Judging from their words, they seemed to be looking for trouble.

Things like this were very common in Mist City anyway. Where there were interests, there would be disputes. And where there were disputes, there must be no shortage of outlaws who were willing to give their lives for money.

But when Lin had a glance at the shop’s name, he couldn’t help being stunned. Golden Hall?

In an instant, he remembered that when he was in Donglin Town, Gu Yanping, the master of Golden Hall, had taken good care of him and had even helped him resolve a crisis personally once.

Now, seeing the brand of Golden Hall in Mist City, it was supposed to make Lin extremely happy. But when he saw those ruffians causing trouble, Lin could not be happy at all.

He went up, glanced at the group of people, and recognized Gu Liang,  who was being besieged by the crowd, instantly.

Gu Liang was the son of Gu Yanping. When he was in Donglin Town, he also had a good relationship with Lin. Seeing Gu Liang here, he was sure that the shop in front of him was Gu Yanping’s shop.

“We’ve taken a fancy to this shop and told you to get out of here. Save your fucking crap, or I’ll kill you directly!”
