Free Web NovelChapter 55: Shan’s Universal Needs
After Tang Yin returned to the inn, he recounted all that had happened in the auction hall. He had expected to make a fortune from the Demonic Beast Cores, but he was still shocked when he actually received the Spirit Stones. He could be considered one of the richest cultivators in Maple Leaf City.
"Master, can I have some Spirit Stones?" Xiao Fei asked with a pitiful look, she thought this expression would have some effect on Tang Yin. Tang Yin looked at Xiao Fei before tossing her a Low-grade Spirit Stone.
"Master, why are you so stingy? You have so many Spirit Stones, can’t you spare a few?" Xiao Fei seethed in rage. Tang Yin was incredibly stingy when it came to Spirit Stones, it could be considered a miracle when he had given Xiao Fei 100+ Low-grade Spirit Stones which led to her evolution.
"I was the one who killed all those Demonic Beasts for their Demonic Beast Cores, what exactly did you do except sleep?" Tang Yin cast Xiao Fei a sideways glance before bluntly blurting out his thoughts.
"Hmph" Xiao Fei was incredibly angry, she had never met a person as stingy and blunt as her master. She let out a cold harrumph and started brooding in some corner of the room.
Tang Yin did not bother about Xiao Fei, he instead thought carefully about his future. The only reason why he had not left Maple Leaf City and explored the world was because of his desire to destroy the Shan family. He had no desire to join any faction or organization at the moment, he had too many secrets and preferred to be a lone wolf.
The patriarch of the Shan family was at the 9th stage of the Physique Transformation Realm and only a step away from becoming a Rank 2 family. Tang Yin was in the 4th stage; he was not strong enough yet. He had to reach the 7th stage before he could destroy the Shan family.
When he destroyed the Shan family, he would let go of his biggest regret. Besides, he would also obtain the accumulated wealth of generations of the Shan family which included Spirit Stones, Training Manuals, Martial Skills, Medicinal Pills, Artifacts etc.
If he only needed to kill the Shan family patriarch alone, he could do so now with the help of Xiao Fei. But there were several Physique Transformation Realm elders that resided within the Shan family, it would be difficult for the current him.
Tang Yin thought for a moment before he decided what to do next. He was filthy rich, there was no point in absorbing the Spirit Stones since he already had a huge amount of Abyss Qi within his Martial Spirit. What he needed now was something that could allow his overall combat strength to increase, this included things like Artifacts, Martial Skills etc. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
Compared to most Physique Transformation Realm cultivators, he was not lacking Martial Skills, except for a speed type one which could increase his speed during combat. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
He also did not have any Artifacts; he did not need any attack-type Artifacts since he had the Abyssal Sword. But defensive Artifacts would increase his combat abilities by a large amount. Tang Yin thought about the battles he had within the Inner Ring of the Demonic Beast Mountain and decided on the list of things he lacked during battles that he needed to improve on.
After making a list of things he needed, Tang Yin picked up the brooding Xiao Fei and placed her atop his head. He then headed outside to the bustling and hustling streets.
Tang Yin headed to the shops that belonged to the Shan family, since he would destroy the Shan family and obtain their wealth, he had decided to buy the things he needed from their stores and obtain back his Spirit Stones when he looted the family. Either way, he would not make a loss since he would later receive his Spirit Stones.
Tang Yin arrived before a large pavilion; the pavilion was called ’Shan’s Universal Needs’. It was a strange but simple name, Tang Yin walked in. He had used the Heaven Deceiving Art to change his appearance into a burly middle-aged man with long black hair.
"Sir, what are you looking for?" A small servant appeared before Tang Yin when he stepped into the pavilion and politely enquired.
"Bring out your shopkeeper, I want to personally discuss business with him." Tang Yin demanded in an incredibly domineering manner, he let the 4th stage of the Physique Transformation Realm aura erupt from his body.
"Fellow cultivator, what business would you like to discuss with me?" An old man’s voice echoed throughout the pavilion, once the voice dissipated, an old man with long white hair and a face full of wrinkles appeared from behind the servant.
"Greetings, Elder Kong." The servant immediately fell to one knee while bowing towards the old man. ’This old coot is at the 3rd stage of the Physique Transformation Realm, he must be one of the elders of the Shan family, Shan Kong.’ Tang Yin thought to himself after using his Heaven Piercing Gaze to unveil the old man’s strength.
"Are you the cultivator looking over this shop?" Tang Yin swept his gaze across Shan Kong and asked in a domineering voice. "I am, what business would you like to conduct?" The old man repeated himself, he could tell that the person before him was a stage higher than him. Thus, he remained cautious and polite despite the other’s domineering attitude.
"I’m here to buy some Martial Skills and Medicinal Pills, can your Shan family meet my needs?" Tang Yin questioned the credibility of the Shan family.
"I assure you that our shop is very well-rounded in all products, you can find anything you’re looking for within our shop." A light crease appeared on the old man’s brows, but he kept up his polite attitude.
