“The third move, Sword Emerge from Universe!”
Yang Xiaotian brandished his sword once more, and immediately, the sword wind fluttered up and down.
The trash can in front flew even higher.
Then came the fourth move.
The fifth move, the sixth move, the seventh move…
Yang Xiaotian executed one move after another with no hesitation, no awkwardness, the sword wind growing stronger and tighter, causing the classroom trash can to whirl dizzyingly before everyone’s eyes.
“The thirteenth move, Sword Sweeps the Plains.”
With a swipe of his sword, the sword wind instantly sheared through the air.
The trash can that had been spinning dizzyingly in the air now suddenly stopped in mid-fall and plummeted down.
Yang Xiaotian performed all thirteen strikes of the Sword Thirteen in one breath.
When the sword rested, the whistling of the sword wind still echoed in the classroom, as if telling Cao Lu, Zheng Zhipeng, and others that everything they had witnessed was real.
After Yang Xiaotian had finished, standing there calm and composed, Cao Lu was still in a daze, pondering the Sword Thirteen moves Xiaotian had just executed.
He had taught so many students and had never seen anyone perform Sword Thirteen so smoothly.
Yes, smooth was the word.
Yang Xiaotian’s Sword Thirteen just now was too slick, as if it were all one seamless movement.
“Teacher, may I leave now?” Yang Xiaotian saw Cao Lu standing there in a daze and spoke up.
He had many things to do today. He still had to sell ten Dragon-Tiger Elixirs and purchase a residence.
Cao Lu snapped out of his reverie, looked at Yang Xiaotian with a complex expression and asked, “Did you really learn it by watching it once?”
Although Sword Thirteen was an Acquired martial technique, he still couldn’t believe someone could learn it after just one viewing, especially since Yang Xiaotian had already reached the Minor Achievement Realm.
Yang Xiaotian hummed in affirmation, knowing Cao Lu didn’t believe him, and was too lazy to explain further. He asked again, “May I leave now?”
Cao Lu saw that Yang Xiaotian seemed anxious to not stay in the classroom a moment longer, his expression darkened, but ultimately he nodded his head.
This month, his main task was to teach the Sword Thirteen Swordsmanship Manual, and since Yang Xiaotian already knew it and had reached Minor Achievement, he indeed had no need to attend the class.
Yang Xiaotian strode out of the classroom.
After Yang Xiaotian had left, Zheng Zhipeng stood up and said to Cao Lu, “Teacher, Yang Xiaotian must be lying. He definitely practiced Sword Thirteen for a long time.”
Cao Lu nodded.
The Sword Thirteen manual was also available for purchase on the market.
He too believed Yang Xiaotian couldn’t have mastered it without prior practice.
Even Hu Xing, reputed to be the number one talent at the Divine Sword Academy, couldn’t possibly know Sword Thirteen after just one look.
“Look quickly!” At that moment, a student exclaimed in surprise.
Cao Lu and Zheng Zhipeng followed the direction of the student’s gaze only to see the trash can that had just fallen to the floor suddenly split into thirteen pieces, no more, no less, exactly thirteen, blooming like a flourishing flower.
This flower was as if naturally formed.
After leaving the classroom, Yang Xiaotian went directly out of the academy and arrived at the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild.
Just as in Xingyue City, Yang Xiaotian wore the Dragon Head Mask, shrouded in a black aura. Upon showing the Purple Gold VIP Card, the person in charge at the Divine Sword City branch of the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild cautiously appraised the price of the ten Dragon-Tiger Elixirs.
After confirming that all ten Dragon-Tiger Elixirs were of superior quality, the person in charge’s heartbeat quickened.
Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, top-grade and rarely seen, and for Innate elixirs like the Dragon-Tiger Elixir, top-grade was even more rare; therefore, superior quality Dragon-Tiger Elixirs were incredibly hard to come by.
A superior quality Dragon-Tiger Elixir, once put up for sale, would be snatched up quickly.
“Esteemed guest, what do you think about twelve thousand gold per superior quality Dragon-Tiger Elixir?” the person in charge cautiously inquired about Yang Xiaotian’s intentions.
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian nodded and said, “That’s fine.”
This price is already quite good.
The person in charge quickly handed over 120,000 gold to Yang Xiaotian.
Yang Xiaotian secured the money and did not linger any longer, leaving the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild.
Just as Yang Xiaotian had left the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild, the person in charge hurriedly reported his appearance to their guild president. Judging from Yang Xiaotian’s attire, there was no doubt that he was the mysterious alchemist from Xingyue City.
After Yang Xiaotian left the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild, he removed his mask and then headed to the slave market.
Before buying a residence, he planned to buy a few slaves first.
After all, he was only eight years old and it was not convenient for him to do everything himself, so he could have his subordinates handle some matters.
Seeing that Yang Xiaotian was wearing the uniform of the Divine Sword Academy, the person managing the slave market did not dare to underestimate him and quickly started introducing various slaves to Yang Xiaotian.
These slaves were classified and kept in different iron cells according to their levels.
However, most of the slaves had no cultivation, and their Martial Soul levels were too low, which naturally did not interest Yang Xiaotian.
When he passed by a certain iron cell, Yang Xiaotian suddenly stopped. Inside, a disheveled middle-aged man was being held alone. He was roughly in his thirties, with ragged clothes and a lackluster look in his eyes.
“This person is called Luo Qing. He was the sect master of a sect in the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom. He used to be a Martial King Peak powerhouse, but a few months ago, his sect was destroyed, his Dantian was shattered by someone, and the tendons in both his hands were severed, completely destroying his cultivation and reducing him to a cripple, ” the person managing the slave market explained quickly upon seeing Yang Xiaotian’s interest in the middle-aged man.
Dantian shattered, tendons severed?
Yang Xiaotian mused, “How much for him?”
The manager replied with a smile, “Young master, as you know, although he is now a cripple without any cultivation, he was once a Martial King Peak powerhouse. He still possesses knowledge.” “How much?” Yang Xiaotian interrupted.
“Ten thousand gold,” the manager answered hesitantly.
Yang Xiaotian grunted and did not immediately agree to buy; he moved on to inspect other iron cells, with the manager following behind. The manager hastily offered, “Young master, if you really want him, nine thousand gold, how about it?”
Yang Xiaotian did not respond and continued walking until he stopped in front of two half-beast people with golden-yellow skin.
“These two half-beast people are descendants of the Ancient Golden Divine Tribe,” the manager quickly added.
“Are you sure they are descendants of the Golden Divine Clan?” Yang Xiaotian asked in return.
This guy really thought he could be easily fooled.
The manager gave an embarrassed chuckle, “Well, it’s hard to verify that. We’ve also heard it through rumors.”
After a full round of inspection, Yang Xiaotian spent 13,000 gold to purchase Luo Qing and two half-beast people.
Once out of the slave market, Yang Xiaotian had each of the three swallow a Spirit Pill and told them that it was a Control Elixir. Without his antidote, they would die from poisoning.
Even though he held their deeds of sale, what he sought was their absolute loyalty.
After all, he carried secrets like the Primordial Dragon Art and the Heaven-Penetrating Sword Technique, so it was essential to ensure that those around him were utterly loyal.
Subsequently, Yang Xiaotian had the two half-beast people take 120,000 gold to the real estate market and purchase the residence he had previously set his sights on.
Meanwhile, the news that an alchemist who had concocted a top-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid had appeared in Divine Sword City began to spread.
Lin Yong and Chen Yuan also learned of the news.
“The alchemist actually came to Divine Sword City!” Lin Yong was pleasantly surprised.
“Yes, this time he sold ten superior Dragon-Tiger Elixirs to the Wind Cloud
Commerce Guild,” Chen Yuan exclaimed. “The appraisers from the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild said that all ten Dragon -Tiger Elixirs were freshly made, not older than ten days; that is to say, this person has concocted ten Dragon-Tiger Elixirs within ten days!”
“If it’s really true, this person’s Alchemy Level must have reached the point of seizing creation from Heaven and Earth.”
Innate Spirit Pills that increase cultivation are very difficult to concoct with a high failure rate. Sometimes, even after making five batches, one might not succeed with a single batch, and usually, the pills produced are of lower or intermediate quality.
Superior ones are rare, not to mention the superior grade.
Many alchemists might not succeed in concocting a superior Innate Spirit Pill even after many years.
As for concocting ten superior Innate Spirit Pills within ten days, it was unheard of for them.
Lin Yong sighed as well, “It’s a shame this person cannot be employed by our Academy, for I would be willing to pay any price..”
