Chapter 9: Spear Intent

Chapter 9: Spear Intent

Wang Ling stood in front of the Green Pavilion.

It was already around 10 o'clock in the morning. Wang Ling left the Wang family manor at around 7 or 8 but it was already this late when he got to the Green Pavilion.

Not that the Green Pavilion was far from the Wang family manor or anything. But he had to go through little detours and first accompanied Wang Yue to see what she wanted to buy.

They first went to a bookstore so Wang Yue can browse to through books and bought anything that has anything to do with spirit plants. After careful consideration and asking what Wang Ling thought, they settled into buying a total of 13 books.

Wang Yue also bought a lot of foods (mainly sweets) from the street vendors. When Wang Ling saw how Wang Yue was looking at everything with widened eyes, he was sure that the little girl did not come out of the house often.

It took them two hours before Wang Yue could finish everything. Well either way, Wang Ling was finally in the Green Pavilion and was ready to buy the resources he needs.

The Green Pavilion was big and was a three story building. However, the only place accessible by most customers was the first floor, the higher floors were meant for people with high social status. Namely the nobles of the Kingdom.

The Green Pavilion was the largest market in the whole Azure Skies City. It accommodates almost everything a cultivator needs and does this with a fair price.

Looking down, Wang Ling saw Wang Yue happily eating sweets and was silently looking back at him. She had a happy look on her face so she can't be dissatisfied with anything so Wang Ling chose to take a step forward so they can enter the pavilion.

Wang Ling entered the Green Pavilion as he followed the flow of people who were also rushing in to the Green Pavilion. There were a lot of cultivators flooding the Green Pavilion, but its doors was wide enough to accommodate everyone.

Wang Ling entered and his appearance caught the attention of some people. The clothes he was wearing looked exquisite, as the hems of his white robe were embroidered with golden lining.

Not only that because even the little girl beside him was also wearing a fancy looking red robe. There were also guards behind the two youths who acted as their bodyguards so it was not hard to judge them base on their appearances.

The two youths screamed the appearance of 'Young Miss and Young Master'.

However, all of them failed to recognize the two. They had never seen anyone like them before in the city.

No one managed to make any kind of conjuncture about the identy of Wang Yue and Wang Ling, until a voice suddenly echoed.

"Oh, I know what of those guards. Isn't he Iron Skin from the Wang family?"

"You're right, the one who's carrying the sweets should be Iron Skin of the Wang family! Hey, Iron Skin!"

"Wait, if that guard is from the Wang family, then who's the two youth he's serving?"

Wang Ling's mouth twitch when he noticed that one of his guards was even more popular than he is. He didn't really care about attention but seeing that his supposed hometown didn't even recognize him made him feel conflicted.

[Let's just end this already.]

Sighing, Wang Ling walked up to one of the female attendants and asked.

"Excuse, does your Green Pavilion sell Tier-1 spirit plants and pills?"

The female attendant lifted her head and saw the handsome Wang Ling talk her and gave her quite a shock.

Wang Ling was a handsome man, and he was not denying this fact.

His eyes were piercing, brows like a sword that pierces the skies, nose perfectly shaped, and with his matured looks and aura he was emitting Wang Ling looked good in all sides.

Even in the Wang family manor, he was frequently being given looks of admiration for his looks.

[Is there such a young man in the Azure Skies City?

Did he come from the neighboring Kingdom?]

The female attendant observed Wang Ling from head to toe. The female attendant was sure that she had seen every Young Master in the whole Azure Skies City, and considering how discernable Wang Ling's face was, it would be hard for her to forget him even if she wanted to.

Then, while she was pondering over the identity of the young man's identity. She head the murmurs of people.

[Could he be?]

The First Young Master of the Wang family was an unknown face to the Azure Skies so the young man in front of her could very well be the young man who had 'regained his sanity'.

Giving a light bow to Wang Ling, the female attendant answered his question qith a smile plastered on her face.

"We have a great number of high quality spirit plants and pills here in the Green Pavilion. If we don't have it here then there's no other place you can go anywhere in the whole Azure Skies Kingdom. Please tell me what you see, sir."

Her smile was attractive and her voice was crisp and clear like a bell. The female attendant was clearly a beauty of her own right.

Wang Ling didn't bother with her though and just started listing the medicinal plants he needed.

"I would like for a [Magma Flower Seed], [Lustrous Devil Branch], [Devil Tree Fruit], and six [Blood Revolution Pill].. oh, can you add a [Fiery Devil Flame]Savage Beast Core if you have any."

After Wang Ling listed the spirit and pills he wanted to buy. Many cultivators had their mouth agape.

[Being rich must be wonderful.]

What Wang Ling had listed were all high quality treasure and valuable cultivation resources for many. Many could only dream of having one or two of these treasures and he just named such treasures like he was buying cabbage in a normal market place.

The female attendant's reaction was a lot better compared to the others around her. Although she was surprise about Wang Ling's list of spirit plants and pills, the female attendant only smiled and nodded her head before saying.

"We have the Lustrous Devil Branch, Devil Tree Fruit, the Blood Revolution Pills, and the core of the savage beast you spoke of. The Magma Flower Seed on the other hand is slightly problematic"

Wang Ling raised a brow upon hearing this and asked.

"Whys is that so?"

"It's like this you see. We did have Magma Flower Seeds on our hands, but because of certain incidents. The Magma Flower Seed devoured a nearby Red Flame Flower and evolved into a Tier-2 spirit plant treasure called, [Inferno Flower Seed]so at the moment we have no Magma Flower Seed at hand.

"However, it can also be seen as a good thing, the Inferno Flower Seed is a rare tier-2 treasure. Even a Magma Flower Seed pales in comparison when it is put in front of Inferno Flower Seed."

The female attendant showed an awkward smile on her face. They truly did have a Magma Flower Seed, but a week ago. A Red Flame Flower was delivered in their Green Pavilion and with the Magma Flower Seed and Red Flame Flower having the same attribute, the two spirit plants were kept in the same place with the same environment.

Little did they know was that the Magma Flower Seed would devour the Red Flame Flower and evolve into a higher tier spirit plant.

When Wang Ling heard that there was Magma Flower Seed he expected the worst case scenario would happen. However, when he heard it evolved into an Inferno Flower Seed, he rejoiced as he stumbled into something good instead.

When he heard that there was an Inferno Flower Seed present in in the Green Pavilion, Wang Ling smiled. An Inferno Flower Seed was a tier-2 spirit plant and was a truly rare treasure.

A treasure was ranked with tier was considered as foundational treasures as this kind of treasure is used in the early stages of cultivation. For example, a tier-1 treasure is suited for earth root stage, tier-2 for sky root stage, and tier-3 is for [Golden Palace]stage.

Of course Wang Ling would be happy if he encounters such a treasure like an Inferno Flower Seed. It was a tier-2 treasure and would be an extremely useful item to use in eight days' time when he starts cultivating the body tempering technique he wanted.

"I'll take it, the Inferno Flower Seed is indeed better after all. Can I ask you to please compute how much is all of these treasure for?"

"Yes, right away" the female attendant got a paper and started jotting down the prices "the Lustrous Devil Branch is 1,500 gold, Devil Tree Fruit 2,000 gold, one Blood Revolution Pill is 500 gold so six of them is 3,000 gold, as for the a Fiery Devil Flame Savage Beast Core it is 1,500 and the Inferno Flower Seed is 5,000 gold it's 13,000 gold coins or 130 platinum coins."

Wang Ling rather surprise to see himself running out of money. He sighed at his heart because he knew he wouldn't be able to bring all the items home. He only have 100 platinum coins, but it seems like it was not enough.

"I only have 100 platinum coins so I won't take the six Blood Revolution Pill. I'll take everything else."

He didn't really want to do this and wanted to take everything away all at once. However, he didn't have enough money so he could only leave one item here and come back for them in the future.

With that said, Wang Ling handed over the bag of platinum coins to the female attendant and had her check its content. Confirming the 100 platinum coins inside, the female attendant nodded her head in affirmation while giving Wang Ling a look full of awe.

For him to refer to such an amount of money as 'only', just how rich was this youngster actually?

The female attendant left that place and went somewhere else to collect the items Wang Ling requested. She came back shortly after with a ring, a bronze card, and a piece of paper on hand.

Handing out the ring and bronze card to Wang Ling, she explained.

"This card is a VIP card that will represent your identity. A VIP bronze card is given to our customer who had spent 10,000 gold coins in one go. This ring is a storage ring, it only has a ten square meter space this is given to any VIP we have in the Green Pavilion. Please sign this paper and fill out your name on this paper and it will automatically engrave your name on the card."

The female attendant explained. Wang Ling didn't really mind becoming a VIP because it has freebies like the storage ring. Although it was rather extremely small, it is still a treasure than costs around 5,000 gold coins.

Wang Ling wrote his name on the paper and after he finished writing. The paper turned into a ball of flame before becoming ashes. Wang Ling's name then appeared on the previously nameless bronze card.

"Congratulations Young Master Wang Ling, you are now a VIP member of the Green Pavilion."

The female attendant clapped her hands as she celebrated of the birth of another VIP. Although she was rather surprise about the youth's identity as being the previously useless Young Master, she already had an idea who he truly was so she was not that shaken.

However, not can said the same to the other lowly cultivators around. The news about the Young Master of the Wang family regaining consciousness was already widespread, but this is the first time they are seeing the infamous Young Master.

Different type of gazes fell on Wang Ling. However, he ignored all of them and took the storage ring from the girl. The storage ring he was given was really crude and was accessible by anyone, it didn't even need to recognize a master to be open.

This meant that anyone who could steal the storage ring from him can open this without any problem, even those who doesn't have spirit qi can access this. A storage ring that is accessible to anyone is basically a glorified bag.

Checking the storage ring's content Wang Ling nodded in appreciation when he learned that everything he bought was already there. Without wasting any more time, Wang Ling bade the female attendant farewell and left the Green Pavilion together with Wang Yue.

The two siblings went to explore the city some more before deciding to return to the Wang family manor when noon came around.

Wang Ling and Wang Yue were walking side by side on the way back when Wang Ling's senses suddenly picked up something.

"Spear Intent?" Wang Ling was surprise. A master spearman was around? Wang Ling was surprise and wanted to search for the master who was releasing this spear intent.

However, he couldn't do that because he was together with Wang Yue. There were also the two guards who wouldn't let him go even if he wanted to sneak away. In the end Wang Ling dropped the idea of sneaking off the find the one who was emitting spear intent.

But strangely enough, the closer he got to the Wang family manor, the spear intent became stronger and stronger. Before long, when he stood in front of the gate of the manor, the finesse of the spear intent was making his martial heart nod in satisfaction to whoever this spear intent belong.

"Nice spear intent! It is pure and unblemished!"

For him, the strongest celestial to praise a spear intent was something huge. His words of praise was no less than gold.

Wang Ling and Wang Yue entered the manor, the two of them bade farewell with one another. Wang Yue said her goodbyes to Wang Ling and carried her own books and snacks back to her room as fast as she could.

It seems like she's prepared to read all the books she had just bought.

Wang Ling on the other hand did not return too fast and went to find the spear intent. He followed and followed until he reached the training grounds of the Wang family.

There, he saw a man who had no top holding a spear unmoving. His whole body emitting white steam. Then, as a gust of wind passed by, the young man moved like thunder and them.

BOOM!!

An explosion of spear intent showed itself to the world.
