Cultivation Pet Shop Chapter 12
Advertisement
Unbeknownst to Lin Fan, he was slowly gaining fame at Luo Qing's academy, but for now, he had to deal with the problem of an empty shop.
After dealing with a large pile of delivery food with Angela, it was back to sitting in front of the counter to wait for another customer.
But like yesterday, there was no one that came in at all.
One person that Lin Fan had expected to see was the old man who had bought pet food yesterday, he knew that a pet couldn't quit eating the system's pet food after having a taste.
However, to his dismay, the old man didn't appear in his store at all.
Instead of the old man, there was a rather aggressive young man that had appeared.
When it was getting close to noon and Lin Fan was thinking about what to get for lunch, the bell at the door suddenly rang and a young man came in.
The young man didn't have a kind look in his eyes as he looked over Lin Fan. It was like he was looking at someone who had scammed him, but this could be considered the case from his scenario.
This young man was none other than Yang Xin, the grandson of the old man from yesterday.
After looking over Lin Fan for a while, the young man finally came up to the counter and slapped down on it to catch Lin Fan's attention.
Lin Fan was surprised by this sudden action, but he quickly figured that this person wasn't here with good intentions, so his hand slowly moved over to the Fire Phoenix chick that had been sleeping on the side.
Yang Xin started by first getting up in Lin Fan's face and glaring at him before shouting, "So, you're the scammer that wanted to fool my grandfather?"
Lin Fan was confused since he hadn't scammed anyone before.
Angela had been playing around in a corner of the store when she suddenly heard someone shouting, so she quickly came to the register.
When she was prepared to raise her hand and gather her wind sword, Lin Fan quickly shook his head to stop her, but all this did was make Yang Xin think that Lin Fan was acting like he didn't know anything.
Seeing this insult to him, Yang Xin who was a hot tempered young man by nature raised his fist and gathered his life energy.

Yang Xin growled in a low voice, "I'll show you what happens to people who make fun of me!"
Sending his fist flying, he threw a punch right at Lin Fan's face, but before his fist could make contact with Lin Fan, there was a giant wall of invisible force that slammed into him and threw him out of the shop.
When Yang Xin slammed into this force, Angela on the side was completely shocked since she could feel the power of laws in the attack that had sent Yang Xin flying.
To be more accurate, it was a simple application of spatial laws, but still it was controlling spatial laws which was an impressive feat by itself!
When Yang Xin finally came to his senses over what had just happened, he stared at the pet shop in fear. When he had been knocked out of the store, he felt like he was nothing more than an insignificant bug that could have been swatted at any time.
After Yang Xin had been blown out, Lin Fan casually walked out of the store.
When Yang Xin had attacked him, he had seen that there was a tint of silver to his life energy, which meant that he was in the Silver Realm just like Lin Fan. After he had been thrown out, Lin Fan actually walked out of the store and rolled up his sleeves.
He wanted to use Yang Xin to test his own strength since after he finished cultivating this morning, he really had no idea just how strong he really was.
Seeing the owner roll up his sleeve, Yang Xin panicked.
Lin Fan had just been protected by the unknown expert in the store, so Yang Xin misinterpreted as Lin Fan being weaker than him, but what happened next was something that he never expected.
After rolling up his sleeves, Lin Fan released his silver life energy, which was actually much more dense compared to the life energy that Yang Xin had released.
Yang Xin was shocked by this, the owner was actually in the same realm as him and he seemed to be at a higher level!
When Yang Xin held his hands up to wave stop and he tried to explain, Lin Fan was already charging at him with both fists wielded.
Yang Xin had no choice but to defend himself, but when his fist collided with the fist of Lin Fan, all he felt was an unstoppable force sending him flying away.

Yang Xin skidded across the ground, skipping like stone across the pond before landing several meters away.
Lin Fan looked down at his hands in surprise, he never expected that he would be this strong!
All Yang Xin felt was the numbness in his hands. It was like he had been practicing for hours and he had lost all sensations in his arms.
Lin Fan didn't spare Yang Xin another glance as he just turned and walked back into his store, leaving behind someone with wide open eyes and a mouth agape.
It took Yang Xin a while before he came back to his senses, but when he finally did, he got up and awkwardly walked back into the store.
Hearing the bell above the door ring again, Lin Fan turned over, but he went back to his watch after seeing that it was Yang Xin.
Yang Xin just awkwardly made his way to the counter before hesitantly saying, "Sir, I'm sorry for what I did before. I didn't know that you were such an expert, that's why I thought that you were a scammer."
Lin Fan just gave a cold snort in response to this.Yang Xin felt like a fool, but he still kept going since he knew that he couldn't offend this store, "Sir, based on your power, I know now that you're not a scammer. If possible, could I get some more of the pet food you offered my grandfather yesterday?"
Someone that had a Silver Realm cultivation and was even stronger than him was sitting at the register, just how strong was the master hidden in the store? That person must be someone in the Gold Realm at least!
In this world, families that had someone in the Gold Realm were considered noble families and families with someone in the Platinum Realm were considered royal families.
As for families that had someone in the Legendary Realm, they were considered rulers.
The strongest person in Yang Xin's family was only in the Silver Realm and they were nothing more than seekers who were doing quite well for themselves. If a comparison was made to earth, they would be considered a middle class family.
For this kind of family, there was no way they could compete with a noble. Nobles had ties with the Union Government and if they were to create a mess, the government would definitely side with the nobles.
Hearing that he was here this time to buy pet food, Lin Fan revealed his usual smile which immediately made Yang Xin take a step back.
His smile really made him look too much like a scammer!
Lin Fan said with that smile, "Well, if you're looking for pet food, we had a new shipment today and there are some special items that have been put up for sale. At our store, our motto is always quality first!"
Yang Xin really wanted to just turn around and walk out of that store after seeing that smile, but he suppressed this urge. Since the owner seemed like he was in a good mood now, he smiled along with him as he asked to see the goods.
Lin Fan brought Yang Xin over to a shelf to the right of the store and when Yang Xin saw the items on the shelf, he was completely shocked.
One of the items on the shelf was something he was very familiar with, it was the Jade Flame Fruit that he had his friend search for!
But what was the most shocking was the price tag!
Jade Flame Fruits weren't that easy to find, so when he had his friend find one for him, it had cost him over ten thousand crystals!
But right in front of him, there was a Jade Flame Fruit being sold for only two hundred crystals!
Yang Xin looked at the Jade Flame Fruit before turning to look at the owner and asking, "Sir, are you certain that you are only selling this for two hundred crystals?"
In all honesty, Lin Fan also felt that it was too cheap. He had searched this Jade Flame Fruit online and had found that the last one had sold for over ten thousand thousand crystals, but the system wouldn't bend the price at all, so he could only cry internally.
Seeing Lin Fan nod in response, Yang Xin was stunned into silence.
Yang Xin continued to look over the other items and finally his gaze fell onto the True Spirit Vine.
When he saw the effects, he almost fell down in shock.
It was actually an elixir that could increase a pet's intelligence!
This was something that only legendary elixirs could do!

Necromancer's Resolve
Foster Locke's life wasn't the harshest it could have been. But it wasn't the easiest either. Despite losing the last of his family and having immense debt thrown on him, getting the chance to keep practicing Martial Arts pulled away, and having a completely messed up sleep-schedule, he usually tried his best to stay positive to the outside world. Of course, that wasn't always possible, especially not when he was staring into the glowing eyes of a man-eating creature he had never heard of before. The glowing message-box that accompanied it wasn't much better either. Not to mention the fact that he was suddenly in a dark forest instead of the train station. This isn't a story of great anguish, inescapable peril, or heroic world-saving. Rather, it's one of a young man trying to get by in a world that seems to try his best to kill him. I hope you enjoy the read. --- Cover Image temporary [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
