Chapter 12 Merchant Valley

As the wind blew in Yang Yu's face his eyes set upon a massive valley, in which a gigantic market space lay. Seeing this Yang Yu landed Xiao Lei as he left them in the care of the servants.

'Its pretty convenient that there's a specific area to land them.' Yang Yu thought as he walked through Merchant Valley. Eventually he found a clear area and sat down as he placed 3 books in front of him.

The crowd walked past, and some of them stared at Yang Yu in curiosity. "Who is he? To be an Inner Disciple at such a young age?" Some people said as they walked by. "That's Yang Yu, you haven't heard the rumours?" They discussed as they passed by.

As Yang Yu realised he was racking up attention, he stood up as he cleared his throat. "I am selling Low Grade Black Technique, and 2 Peak Grade Yellow Techniques, if you're interested you should know I'll be gone after 2 hours." Yang Yu said as they all looked on in curiosity.

They soon dismissed the notion though. 'How would a newbie have such techniques?' They thought as they walked by. Seeing this Yang Yu stood with confidence as he waited, and waited. Eventually a man clad in Azure Robes walked through the crowd, with an entourage of men behind him.

Each and every one of them were Inner Disciples, and they followed the 1 man in the lead. He had sharp eyes and an arrogant expression on his face as the others followed him. His gaze fell on Yang Yu as he walked towards him and crouched down looking at the techniques.

"Hmm what do we have here?" He asked as he gazed at the techniques. "Some techniques, would you like to buy them?" Yang Yu replied as the man smirked. "Sure, how much?" He asked.

"11." Yang Yu said as the man brought out some gold. "I mean 11 Low Grade Spirit Stones." Yang Yu said shocking the man. "What do you mean Spirit Stones?" The man asked shocked.

"Its market price isn't it? There's 1 Low Grade Black Technique and 2 Peak Grade Yellow Techniques." Yang Yu said as the man's face grew beat red, before he calmed down.

"I-Isn't that, Wang Haotian?!" Someone in the crowd said in shock. "Is he trying to fool the 1st Ranked Inner Disciple?!" Another person said as even Yang Yu's eyes widened for a moment, soon he recollected himself though.

"So, you've heard my identity, are you trying to fool me kid?" Wang Haotian said as he eyes pierced into Yang Yu's. "Hm, no and if I did, wouldn't you just come looking for trouble with me? With your identity along with your strength you could easily crush me. So take it, or leave it." Yang Yu said as Wang Haotian smirked.

"Sure, here takes these, if you're tricking me I'll find you." Wang Haotian said as he handed Yang Yu 15 Spirit Stones. "Hmm, Tidal Fist, this will work well with me." Wang Haotian said as he walked away.

"Wait, you gave me too much!" Yang Yu said as Wang Haotian waved. "Take it as compensation for harassment, Grand Uncle wouldn't be too impressed if I walked around breaking the rules." Wang Haotian said as he and his entourage walked off into the distance.

'Grand Uncle?' Yang Yu thought as people exclaimed in the background. "As expected of the Sect Leader's Grand Nephew, with this coming generation of Wang Haotian and Xu Tianlong the Sky Spirit Sect's position will be solidified, not to mention that newbie Jiang Long." Someone sighed in the background.

Hearing this Yang Yu gulped down hard. 'Good thing he's so easy going, or else I might have landed myself in hot water.' Yang Yu thought as he pocketed the spirit stones, before walking off.

"That went a lot better than expected." Yun Zhu said as Yang Yu nodded. 'Ya with this I can buy some good medicine for Xiao Lei.' Yang Yu thought as he decided to ask for some directions.

After that he asked around, and found out the best place to find the 10 year old ice ginseng. "The Mystic Medicine Hall should have it." Yang Yu said to himself as he walked where he was told to go.

Eventually he found himself in front of a grand shop. It was extremely clean, and within 20 meters of it no other shop stood. At the top of the entrance a golden sign stood, saying "Mystic Medicine Hall".

As Yang Yu walked in, at the entrance a greeter stood. "What do you need?" She asked as Yang Yu looked up at her. Yang Yu was still quite young, being only 12, so most people were much taller than him.

"I need 10 Year old Ice Ginseng." He said concisely as the greeter nodded, before calling over someone. "You, show him where the ginseng are." The greeter told another helper.

"Yes Mam." He said before guiding Yang Yu. "Here are all the ginseng we have." The helper said as he gestured towards the containers with signs above them. So as to maintain the energy of the ginseng, they were placed within sealed boxes to ensure quality.

"Thank you." Yang Yu replied as the helper nodded before walking off. Yang Yu stood there as he gazed at the wall of ginseng, but soon Yun Zhu appeared.

"These are the ones you need." He said as he pointed towards 2 boxes, each with 5 Ice Ginseng inside. 'Good, and there's exactly enough luckily.' Yang Yu thought, before grabbing them and walking off.

After that he picked out some Demon Beast Supplements, and walked to the counter. "Will that be all?" The cashier asked. "Yes." Yang Yu replied. "Your total is 13 Low Grade Spirit Stones." The cashier said as Yang Yu handed her the 13 Spirit Stones.

"Thank you for your patronage." She said as she accepted the spirit stones, after that Yang Yu grabbed his things and headed out.

As he did so a man watched him with a smirk on his face. "Why are you bothering with him boss?" A person asked as Wang Haotian smiled. "Ha, if I can't beat that Xu Tianlong shithead, then I'll need him and that Jiang Long to do it." Wang Haotian said as he turned around.

"Why are you so sure he can beat Xu Tianlong?" Another person in his entourage asked. "Just look at how easily he sold me the Low Grade Black technique? I already know its authentic just look at how it was written. If that isn't much to him, he must be hiding many more secrets." Wang Haotian said as he walked away with his entourage in tow.

"In that case why don't we steal his opportunity?" One of the entourage said. Hearing this Wang Haotian gazed at him fiercely. "You know the rules, if we were to cause internal strife, our heads would fall." Wang Haotian said as his entourage gulped down.

"Sorry." That person said as they hid amongst the others. "Anyway, I already have all he techniques I need, this Tidal Fist will be a nice addition to my repertoire though." Wang Haotian said as he walked into the crowd.
