LEGEND OF THE ETERNAL FLAME WARRIOR
Episodes 120. The Demon Power Core, Food For Xiao Hu
Upon entering the building, an associate swordsman who recognized Ling Yan immediately greeted him like a distinguished guest and invited him into the VIP room.
Ling Yan simply followed the direction of the man and waited for a while before Gu Xingyi walked inside with his 2 bodyguards.
"Greetings young master, can I help you?" Gu Xingyi asked politely with a smile.
"Yes, I need a lot of level 1 or level 2 demon power cores for Xiao Hu." Ling Yan replied.
"How much does the young master want." Gu Xingyi seemed to have gotten used to it since he had known from the start that the young man in front of him had a magical beast that only ate the core of stealth strength.
"Hmm if you have as many as 300 pieces for each power core, then I want to buy them all." Said Ling Yan leisurely.
"Uhuk." Gu Xingyi choked on her own breath after hearing what Ling Yan had just said, while her two bodyguards were seen widening her eyes while gawking.
"Young master, we do have over 300 core pieces of level 1 and 2 demon powerhouses, but we can't possibly sell them all to you, either, at most we can sell it to you as many as 150 for the level 1 demon power core, and 150 more level 2, because we also need those resources to make pills for the members of our association." Clearly Gu Xingyi.
Ling Yan only nodded in understanding before saying. "Hmm only 300 huh, alright no problem, how much do I have to pay?" Asked Ling Yan.
"For 1 level 1 demon power core the price is 5,000 gold coins, while for level 2 it costs 10,000 gold coins, so it all amounts to 2,250,000 gold coins." Answer Gu Xingyi.
"Hmm alright, within this nat ring there are 3 million gold coins, I want to use the rest to buy some pills that can help recover the inner power quickly." Said Ling Yan while throwing a grout ring that he got from Feng Yuan.
Actually inside the ring not only has 3 million gold coins but there are more than 10 million gold coins in it as well as some fighting techniques belonging to Feng Yuan.
Of course Ling Yan had already moved some of those gold coins and fighting techniques and stored them inside his own nat ring.
"Hehehe I was lucky enough to have killed that Feng Yuan, because it turned out that he was also quite rich." Ling Yan smiled as he chuckled inwardly.
Gu Xingyi who received the nat ring immediately checked it before retreating to prepare the item Ling Yan ordered.
"Alright young master, please wait for a while, I will prepare the young master's order first, while waiting please enjoy the light mountain tea that I brought from the Tang empire." Gu Xingyi poured the mountain tea of light into Ling Yan's cup before passing by to prepare the item Ling Yan wanted.
Ling Yan seemed to reach for the cup containing the light mountain tea and began to drink it slowly.
"Hmm this tea is indeed a high-quality tea, it is fitting that the clan head really likes it." Ling Yan muttered while recalling as he had seen Ling Han who was so enjoying as he drank this tea a few years ago.
But in addition to its efficacy, light mountain tea itself is also one of the resources that are fairly expensive, because it has a price equivalent to a core of level 1 stealth strength per gram.
"Hehehe if the chairman finds out that if I drink this tea for free, he'll choke on his own breath." Ling Yan muttered that imagined the expression on the face of his Clan leader.
Ling Yan used to see Ling Han drinking this tea inside his residence when he was a child and playing with Ling Mei, however after Ling Yan learned that the price of 1 gram of this tea was equivalent to the price of a tier 1 demon power core, that was where he only understood that Ling Han must have spent quite a lot of gold coins to get the tea.
"Hmm speaking of the clan head, I'm so reminded of Yu Fei and Yu Qian, how are the two of them now huh?"
A moment after, Ling Yan who was thinking about the matter about his two adopted sisters suddenly remembered something and just rounded his eyes.
"Wait a minute, isn't Yu Ming the name of Yu Fei and Yu Qian's grandfather, the one Yu Ming meant by the blacksmith shop owner was....." Ling Yan had not had time to finish his mutter, Gu Xingyi had now returned and brought a nat ring containing the item Ling Yan wanted.
Ling Yan suddenly stopped his murmur and returned to acting as usual in front of Gu Xingyi.
"This is your order, young master, it's all in this grout ring." Gu Xingyi handed the nat ring to Ling Yan.
"Hmm thank you Miss Gu, sorry that I can't linger because there's important business that I have to do." Ling Yan received the ring while clenching his hands forward.
"Yes I understand young master." Gu Xingyi simply replied with a smile.
Ling Yan finally walked out of there while thinking of something in his mind.
"If the Yu Ming that the blacksmith shop owner meant was indeed the same person as Yu Fei and Yu Qian's grandfather, it meant that the grandfather of the two of them was indeed not a random swordsman, but how could the grandfathers of my two foster sisters end up like that." Ling Yan began to guess what had really happened.
"Hmm it seemed like something was not simple and made this Yu Ming the way he is now, let alone the blacksmith shop owner also said if his small meridians were not damaged, no matter what, it was not impossible that he would have strength that would compensate for Yu Ming, while he currently had the strength of a king swordsman."
Ling Yan then thought of finding out what exactly happened to his two foster sisters grandfather that seemed to have something to do with the blacksmith shop owner he had met some time ago, as well as...
"Black lightning, it seems like this is also related to the swordsman who wants the earth lightning science technique." Ling Yan then recalled the attack carried out by the Chu Clan and assisted by the 2 king warriors from the black lightning bolt.
"It seems like I have to increase my strength first before doing this, I don't want to make things even more complicated because I don't have the strength to deal with the worst possible outcome." Said Ling Yan who did not want to act recklessly.
After thinking everything through, Ling Yan finally decided to go to the thousand swords first and follow the directions of his teacher.
