Chapter 7
All three families patriarchs personally came to the pavilion with a common interest. The three families only have one C-Cla.s.s technique each, they desire to purchase the technique to strengthen their clan. It is also to increase the chance of their young generation winning first place for the annual Youth Tournament, the winner of first place in the compet.i.tion will get to become a student of the Thunderbolt Academy.
The auction took about an hour and the result had finally come out, the C-Cla.s.s Sword technique was sold to the Zhang family for 22 D-Cla.s.s Elemental coins.
Xiao Yang received 20 D-Cla.s.s Elemental coins after deduction of the auction fees.
"Sir, the buyer request to meet with you", The supervisor came back in and another two people were standing outside of the room.
"Oh? Let them in". Hearing Xiao Yang's approval, the two people came inside the room.
Upon detecting Xiao Yang's aura, he bowed down and said, "I'm Zhang He, patriarch of the Zhangs, may I know your name, sir?"
Zhang He believed from the aura given off by this man in front of him is at least an S-Cla.s.s mage, if he could get acquainted with him then his family could greatly benefit it. By then he would have the sufficient power to become the new City Lord.
"You don't need to know my name, is there a problem with the technique?"
Xiao Yang knew exactly what he was thinking, but he does not want to join the Zhang family's business of dominating DongHe city, especially he himself knew the att.i.tudes of the Zhang family from his predecessor's memory.
After hearing what Xiao Yang said, Zhang He was quick to reply, "No no, the technique is excellent. We just wanted
"There is no need, I still have some important business to take care off" Xiao Yang stood up and descended down the pavilion.
The person next to Zhang He was Zhang Yuxi, her froze element had already reached D-Cla.s.s with the resources provided by her family. "Dad, our family also has a C-Cla.s.s technique but why does this one feel a little different?"
"That's because the person who wrote this copy was at least an S-Cla.s.s Mage, the essence in the book is much more in-depth compared to the other ones" Zhang He replied with admiration.
...
Xiao Yang had arrived at a nearby lake after spending 10 D-Cla.s.s Elemental coins to buy 20 D-Cla.s.s Wind Element potions. Unlike elemental cores from beasts that guaranteed to receive elemental points, elemental potion gives a random number of elemental points.
Because Xiao Yang is an E-Cla.s.s mage, consuming a D-Cla.s.s elemental potion will give a random number of E-Cla.s.s elemental points. If he was to consume E-Cla.s.s elemental potion then the maximum he gets will be one, of course, you may also receive zero points if you are unlucky.
There is also a limit to one elemental potion per two days, so without wasting time, Xiao Yang started gobbling up a whole potion and sat down to meditate to absorb it fully.
"6 Elemental Points Received [Wind]"
After finally finis.h.i.+ng absorbing the potion, Xiao Yang made his way back home but when he arrived home, Qian Xian's face looked ill and with one hand rubbing against her back. Qian Fei was also there to support her.
Xiao Yang quickly ran up to them and asked. "Mum who did this to you?!"
Qian Xian didn't reply, but Qian Fei quickly exclaims, "The elders accused aunty of breaking an expensive family artifact and with grandfather currently not in the manor, they sentenced her beating with wooden rods"
"Those old geezers, how dare they hurt my mum?!" He clenched his fist and silently vow to heaven that he will return this humiliation back by tenfold.
After bringing her mum back to her room, Xiao Yang quickly went back to the pavilion to purchase a C-Cla.s.s healing pill with all his remaining coins. With the C-Cla.s.s healing pill, Qian Xian will fully recover in five days. She did ask where the pill came from, but Xiao Yang just told her a made-up story of how he met an alchemist master and that he was asked to use his wind element to help control the fire, as a reward he was given one of the few pills created.
Since today Xiao Yang had remained home in seclusion to absorb his elemental potions and secretly create new martial arts that are a better fit with his current fitness levels.
He plans to gain a first place at the Youth Tournament, so he could become a student of the Thunderbolt Academy. As a student, the academy will provide him with placement and also allow up to two family members to live with him. It would be best to take his mum away from such wretch place.
