NOVEL NEXT Chapter 20: Great Harvest
Jing Chenxing turned his gaze to Jing Yan in surprise.
He knew that Jing Yan's rank had bounced back to the Fifth Heaven, but there was no way he could kill a Shadow Gale Wolf.
Jing Yuqin regretted the hell out every decision she had made in the last few minutes.
If she had only been nicer to Jing Chenxing and Jing Yan, she probably could have been the person to buy all of their valuable sources.
But now it was too late!
"What? The Flesh Horn from a Stone-spotted Tiger King?"
Finally, Wang He took out the last item from the bag, which was the semi-transparent Flesh Horn of a Stone-spotted Tiger King.
Wang He studied Jing Yan, his eyes alight with questions.
After seeing what Jing Yan had brought in his bag, Wang He wouldn't believe that Jing Yan was a Third Heaven warrior, no matter who said that he was.
"Young Master Jing Yan, I've heard rumors that your rank has fallen down to the Third Heaven. Those rumors are false, aren't they?" Wang He asked.
"Not long ago, I really did fall down to the Third Heaven. But now my rank has returned to the Fifth Heaven," Jing Yan said.
"The Fifth Heaven?" Wang He pressed his lips together in disbelief. It was hard to believe that Jing Yan's cultivation was only at the Fifth Heaven. Yet he didn't ask more about it.
Killing a Stone-spotted Tiger King with a cultivation of the Fifth Heaven? Stone-spotted Tiger Kings were as powerful as Fourth-grade Spiritual Beasts. Even warriors at the Seventh Heaven couldn't be certain that they would survive an encounter with a Stone-spotted Tiger King, let alone kill the beast by themselves.
Jing Chenxing knew that Jing Yan wouldn't lie to him. If Jing Yan told him that he was at the Fifth Heaven, then Jing Yan was no doubt at the Fifth Heaven.
"Young Master Jing Yan, these sources from First, Second, and Third-grade Spiritual Beasts are altogether worth 860 Spiritual Stones."
"The fur of the Shadow Gale Wolf is in almost perfect condition, so we can give you a higher price for that: 900 Spiritual Stones."
"As for the Flesh Horn of the Stone-spotted Tiger King, we can give you up to 1000 Spiritual Stones for it."
"Young Master Jing Yan, are you pleased with the offer?" Wang He looked at Jing Yan with a radiant smile on his face.
This deal was way beyond his expectation. Even at the Ru Yi Pavilion, it wasn't every day that a transaction involving thousands of Spiritual Stones took place.
"Sure!" Jing Yan nodded his agreement.
The prices were a little higher than he expected. Apparently, Wang He wasn't even attempting to rip him off at all. The man was very fair.
Jing Chenxing stayed quiet. The offer Wang He proposed was already satisfactory, so he didn't need to step in.
"But there's one more thing." Jing Yan's tone changed with the subject. "Earlier on the second floor, this administrator, Jing Yuqin tried to kick us out. To be honest, if it hadn't been for your friendship with Uncle Chenxing, I really would have gone to another place to sell the sources."
Jing Yan's expression was icy. He glanced at Jing Yuqin, who was standing on the side, almost unable to breathe.
As for this woman, Jing Yan wouldn't let her get away with what she had done so easily! Just a moment ago, she had humiliated the two of them terribly. She definitely deserved to be taught a lesson.
Hearing Jing Yan's words, Jing Yuqin's whole body shivered.
At first, she hadn't been worried about being penalized for what she had done. But now things were different. She had almost sabotaged a deal of more than 2000 Spiritual Stones. This was no doubt a very severe error.
"Jing Yan, I didn't know..." Jing Yuqin desperately tried to explain.
"Enough!" Wang He waved his hand and raised his voice. "Jing Yuqin, pause everything you are working on right now. Today, you made a terrible mistake. I will report to the Respectful Pavilion Owner about this. You can go now. Wait for the formal notification of your penalty."
"Manager, I..." Jing Yuqin's eyes were fluttering in panic.
"Stop talking. Now just get out of the room!" Wang He pointed at the door. His tone was solemn.
Seeing that Wang He was mad, Jing Yuqin didn't dare to speak anymore. She cast Jing Yan a cold glance and turned around to leave the room.
"Young Master Jing Yan, here are your 2,760 Spiritual Stones. Please make sure the amount is correct," Wang He said. His face had regained its smile after Jing Yuqin left. He took out the Spiritual Stones and gave them to Jing Yan.
Jing Yan simply packed them up.
He trusted Wang He not to pull any tricks or short him out of Spiritual Stones.
"Young Master Jing Yan, if you have sources to sell in the future, please make sure you come back to me," Wang He said to Jing Yan with a smile.
"Sure thing!" Jing Yan nodded.
"We will be on our way then. See you next time, Wang He," Jing Chenxing said as the deal was completed.
"Chenxing, we haven't seen each other for a while. How about we have a meal together? My treat. Young Master Jing Yan is invited, too," Wang He said immediately.
"I'm afraid I can't make it this time. How about next time? Next time I will treat," Jing Yan promised, declining politely.
Now that he had so many Spiritual Stones, the first thing he wanted to do was to start cultivating as soon as possible to raise his rank to the Sixth Heaven. There was less than half a month left before the next monthly abilities test of the Jing Clan. Jing Yan couldn't wait to see the expressions the other warriors would have on their faces when they saw that his rank had reached the Sixth Heaven.
Raising one's rank from the Third Heaven to the Sixth Heaven within a month was insane. Almost beyond one's imagination.
"Let's get together next time then, Wang He. We don't want to bother you anymore today. You are a busy man," Jing Chenxing also declined with a smile.
Soon, Jing Yan and Jing Chenxing left the Ru Yi Pavilion.
"Uncle, please take some Spiritual Stones."
After they went back to the Glorious Weapon Store, Jing Yan took out some Spiritual Stones and extended them to Jing Chenxing. Now he had more than 2,000 of them, which was more than enough for a while. Even though his cultivation would require a massive number of Spiritual Stones in the future, he could also keep getting more as he leveled up.
If it hadn't been for the sword that Jing Chenxing gave him, Jing Yan couldn't have killed so many Spiritual Beasts within such a short time. Especially when he came across the Shadow Gale Wolf. If he hadn't been wielding the sharp Moonbeam Sword, the creature would have been almost impossible to kill.
If he had never killed the Shadow Gale Wolf, he wouldn't have obtained the Soul Crystal. Without the Soul Crystal, Jing Yan would have been stuck at the Fourth Heaven even now. With that level of strength, he wouldn't have been able to kill the Third-grade Spiritual Beasts like the Stone-spotted Tigers.
"You little punk!" Jing Chenxing laughed. He then shook his head. "Jing Yan, I understand your gratitude. But I don't need the Spiritual Stones. If you have time, simply come to visit once in a while. Haha, this weapon shop's business isn't too good, but it does make me enough Spiritual Stones for my daily use."
Jing Chenxing's tone was gentle, but Jing Yan could tell that he was determined. There was no way that Jing Chenxing would take Spiritual Stones from him.
"When I have the chance, I will absolutely buy Spiritual Pills to have uncle's broken leg fixed," Jing Yan decided silently to himself.
In this world, arms and legs that had been damaged or lost were not incurable. All kinds of Spiritual Pills could help a broken leg recover and regenerate. However, such medical items were both scarce and expensive. Jing Yan didn't have the ability to obtain such things yet. But with his rank going up, he firmly believed that he would have the chance to get those rare Spiritual Pills one day.
"I'm heading back then, Uncle," Jing Yan said goodbye.
Since he was carrying more than 2,000 Spiritual Stones, Jing Yan didn't make any stops on his way back to his place at the Jing Clan's mansion.
"The cultivation starts!" Jing Yan closed the door of his room, took out some Spiritual Stones, and hunkered down on his bed.
