《God Must Be Lazy He Allowed a Cultivation Anomaly》39. Money is Another Form of Power
Advertisement
"These are five gold coins. I want to book this restaurant today."
Kle In noticed these three men entered and ordered they would own the restaurant for today. Unlike your typical gangsters with eye-catching tattoo or menacing scars, they were dressed in lavish robes.
If it were a regular day, Kle In would surrender his seat and leave unconditionally. While he could only recall fragments of his past life, something tells him that he should not mess with people who have money.
Today though, the man currently approaching his table is none other than San Ruk Eagles Guild deacon, Sar Aran.
"If this young friend is unfamiliar with this city, I can help recommend a few good shops deserving the reputation of a person bearing an Elven Crest and a student of a great master."
"The food here is quite satisfactory and I may drop by here again in the future, unless a wealthy man reserves it for himself", Kle In responded as he took the final bites of his breakfast.
"I have been meaning to drop by since a few days ago but we have been very busy. I hope today is a good time to talk. I would like to invite you to our office and discuss the matters you ordered since our last conversation.” Sar Aran said with an amicable expression.
"What's wrong with this place?” Kle In asked. He does not understand what made this man changed so much. He remembered their first meeting. Sar Aran had this proud, powerful and arrogant air around him, but today he seems to have this forceful pretentious smile.
"Can we at least discuss this matter inside the carriage? After all, this is not a simple day to day transaction."
Kle In placed the spoon on the plate and stood up as he wiped his lips with his tongue.

Sar Aran felt relieve the boy agreed and followed him to the carriage. He can only feel secured talking about valuable transaction in a place protected by a Sound Isolation Formation.
The carriage looks extravagant from outside but the space inside is small like a limousine. Kle In noticed a formation activated around the carriage upon sitting.
"Bring me back to my residence", Kle In requested.
Deacon Sar Aran commanded the coachman and took out a rectangular sealed wooden box the size of a ruler and handed it over to Kle In.
"This brush is dedicated to forging spatial formations. The truth is that we have taken a massive loss obtaining this item alone. While the pills you have provided are extraordinary, nobody would be willing to exchange under normal circumstances. It was with the help of Lanas Family and we would like your master be made aware that it was only made possible with their help.
Sar Aran is still under the impression that there is a great master behind Kle In and he only hopes the boy in front of him would relay their message without offending the Alchemist. Initially, they did not want to further involve themselves with this expert but upon learning that clues of the Blood Moon Sect intensifying their search for alchemy apprentices, they decided to take advantage of the great alchemist's existence.
Deacon Sar Aran was advised by their elder that the moment Lanas Family starts contacting this great alchemist that they would easily be forgotten and that they should make their final requests early on. He slowly took out all the items Kle In initially asked for and some additional items for their final request.
"I have two sets of Core Formation Breakthrough Pill ingredients and a few ingredients as well for Bloodline Awakening Pills. We only asked this esteemed young master to be reasonable."

Kle In has been attentive the entire time as he stored the items provided by Sar Aran. This deacon's acting skills in fawning over him was glaringly superficial but his tone immediately changed when talking about business. He felt repentant for assuming his pills would be sufficient to buy the items he wanted.
After storing up everything Sar Aran gave him, he felt indebted so he took out four bottles of pills.
"These are four bottles of Foundation Establishment Breakthrough Pills. I apologize for not knowing the actual value of the spatial forging materials but I hope this can help compensate. As for Core Formation Breakthrough Pills, I am not that confident but I will do my best."
Sar Aran did not bother being polite when he saw the four bottles. Deep inside, he was smiling like a devil. Though they may not be able to use the pills now, as soon as Lanas Family makes their move, the power struggle begins and once it recedes, they will have had benefited from this transaction.
Kle In in the mean time was holding back his excitement. Seeing Sar Aran is not asking for more, he decided to focus on what he could achieve with this knowledge. He felt like the carriage is moving very slow. Out of nowhere, he remembered why he went out in the first place.
"I wonder if Deacon has any simple offensive technique that can easily be mastered. I originally intended to visit your guild to purchase such books."
Sar Aran has repository of techniques within his ring. While he was willing to exchange them with pills, none of them is easily mastered. He did not want to make a loss again so he took out a book for the most basic form of Qi attack he thought would be suitable for an errand boy.
"This is called Qi Projection Attack. You can materialize your Qi from any part of your body. You can extend and shape your Qi as long as you can control it. You can even create multiple hands out of your body if you like. "
