Dragon Monarch
Chapter 72 - The Third Elder
Arriving at the first floor, Lin Yan headed near the door and there was a simple table. An old man who was the managing elder of the Weapon Hall in the Heavenly Dragon sect was doing his usual activities, which was reading a book.
When Lin Yan and Huan Caiyi approached, the Elder had already glanced at him a glance also looking at the spear held by Lin Yan.
“Hm? Why was the boy interested in that spear?” The Inner Elder was after finishing taking a quick look towards Lin Yan.
“Excuse me Elders. can you explain about this spear?” Lin Yan asked as he placed the spear on the table.
The elder looked towards Lin Yan closely and was slightly surprised by Lin Yan's cultivation level at such a young age. He looked back at the spear carefully and tried to recall the details about the spear because it included information that had been very long.
“This spear has no name at all. In the past, a person from the Star Kingdom who was a graduate of the Heavenly Dragon sect used that spear while fighting against the Moon Kingdom. It was estimated that this spear was over tens of thousands of years old. But it was only a rumor because the parts of this spear had rusted. When this spear period has its holder, it also has rusted although not as bad as this.” Said the Elder.
Hearing the Elder's explanation, Lin Yan was disappointed instantly. He was eager to find out what exactly the origin of the spear was.
“Then, what is the price of this spear?” Asked Lin Yan because he would definitely take it because there was something that made him unable to leave even though his current condition was arguably already very severe.
“Sorry, I'm not the managing elder of the Arms Hall. I just want to relax in this place. Wait a minute, I'll call the manager of this place.” The elder closed his eyes like an idiot.
Not long after, a middle-aged man appeared beside the Elder who closed his eyes.
“Third Chairman.. do you need anything?” Ask the Elder.
Lin Yan and Huan Caiyi were surprised that the extremely fragile-looking old man was one of the three main Elders in the Heavenly Dragon sect. Even Lin Yan did not feel anything from the Third Elder which made him very astonished.
Usually, his instincts would work well if there was a very strong person nearby. But, Lin Yan misinterpreted about his abilities. It was actually not a very powerful aura detector of a person, but rather a malicious intent detector of a person. And with that evil intent, from that too Lin Yan was able to interpret his level of strength to a certain degree. It could be said, when one let out a certain emotion or intention let alone they were a cultivator, there would definitely be a qi vibration occurring. That was what made Lin Yan so easy to detect one's strength with just his instincts.
And the old man who was the third elder had an extremely pure aura or better said to be so calm that Lin Yan's instincts did not work at all.
Also, when Lin Yan looked at the old man, his age was also very old. That said, the age of the third elder was much older than the Master and Grand Elder of the Heavenly Dragon sect.
“Murid here wants to ask the price of that spear.” Reply to the elder and read the book again.
The managing elder of the place did not feel any objection to the attitude of the Third Elder as he also knew that all the other Elders even the Master and Grand Elder of the Heavenly Dragon sect were respectful towards him.
“What? Why is it so expensive? This weapon was on the second floor before!” Huan Caiyi put on a dissatisfied face as the price said by Elder Khu was very high.
Lin Yan was speechless because every time he would accept a loss, Huan Caiyi would immediately open his voice to say his objection.
“Son, do you know what spear you're holding? Its former value was indeed on par with the strongest weapon in this place. While the highest price of weapons in the Weapon Hall was 20,000 merit points. Why the price of the weapon is high, of course because it is an emblem or rather the spear can only be used as a collection because of its history.” Said Elder Khu.
Huan Caiyi was speechless to hear it as it was already speculating that the previous spear user had a good history and made his own achievements in the Star Kingdom using a spear that was already rusty.
“No problem with the price. I'll take it.” Lin Yan would naturally take the spear. After all he still had a gift he had not received and the spear would be his reward.
Elder Khu's eyes narrowed slightly. Likewise, the Third Elder who had been reading the book raised his eyebrows slightly because he did not expect that Lin Yan would pick up an obsolete spear at such a high price.
“Are you kidding? You're still very young. Where did you get that much merit points? You should know that the weapons here cannot be bought with gold coins.” Elder Khu snorted slightly towards Lin Yan.
Huan Caiyi grew even more furious that the Elder was underestimating his sister too much. He desperately wanted to tear it apart but kept it in check.
Lin Yan also did not reply to Elder Khu's words. He took out a document and put down his identity token as well.
Elder Khu was confused at first. But when reading the first line of the document, he was astonished and understood why Lin Yan would definitely obtain the legendary spear in the past.
“You.. You're Lin Yan? Winner of class B missions in the outer wilderness?” Elder Khu asked with great shock as he looked at Lin Yan.
Meanwhile, the Third Elder stiffened upon hearing Lin Yan's name. Inevitably, he immediately looked towards Lin Yan back with a serious look.
“This senior grandson Lin Ming and Lin Xi? It's unbelievable. This child had even reached the Xiantian level in this short amount of time. Also he is a B class mission winner? No wonder.. no wonder. This child will definitely have a reputation like his grandparents in the future.” The Third Elder. He read his book after that.
Of course that small incident did not escape Lin Yan's attention. But he ignored it too.
“Yes. I was the student who completed the mission.” Lin Yan nodded small.
“Good. If so, I will process the gift documents you have. Now this spear is yours.” The elder directly retrieved the documents belonging to Lin Yan after saying that. He naturally would not say anything more since Lin Yan could take out any one weapon that was in the Weapon Hall.
