《The One and Only》C39. Spirit Leading Script
Advertisement
An hour had passed.
Lin Yun met Tong Hu at Wan Bao Pavilion after leaving the auction room.
“Congratulations, Mr.Lin. Have you figured out a way of spending such a large sum?”
“You seemed certain that I would come.”
Tong Hu smiled. “Of course. With such a lot of spirit stones at hand, you must have thoroughly considered how to use them.”
“You are right. I came here to buy something.”
Given Tong Hu’s lack of courtesy, Lin Yun said directly, “I need elixirs, better ones than Blood Activating Elixirs! And I also want some average spiritual stones.”
Tong Hu muttered to himself, “Blood Activating Elixirs are enough, even more than sufficient for you at your current stage. There is no need to squander your spiritual stones.”
The martial art at sixth stage emphasized on the enhancement of the inner organs, in which the Blood Enrichment Elixir could still play a significant role.
Lin Yun whispered, “In the interim exam of the Qing Yun sect, my antagonist will be an outer disciple whose cultivation is close to the eighth level.”
“But...”
Tong Hu, catching a glimpse of Lin Yun stealthily, said with cautiousness, “Honestly, at the sixth level, you don’t stand a chance under common circumstances. I do have some pills which will enhance your martial skills in a short time, but it will overdraft your potential severely. I think you should look before you leap.”
Lin Yun smiled. “I only need an elixir to speed up my progress at the sixth level, hoping to ascend to the seventh before the exam. And please don’t bother with the rest.”
“Then I will ask no more. There are surely better elixirs than the Blood Activating Elixir. What about the Heart Nourishing Elixir? The heart always comes first among the organs, so cultivation at the sixth level also gives priority to the heart.”
Tong Hu, staring at Lin Yun, murmured, “You can buy one if you need. The fixed price is 4000 inferior spiritual stones.”

Heart Nourishing Elixir!
Having only heard about it before, Lin Yun didn’t know more about it except that it couldn’t be exchanged within the Qing Yun sect.
Only after making a tremendous contribution to the sect, could it be bestowed to you.
The majority of the inner disciples haven’t been able to get one yet. Given its rarity, there wouldn’t be many in stock in the Qing Yun sect.
There was almost nowhere to exchange.
“You’re indeed exceptionally adept, Mr. Tong. You’ve even found the Heart Nourishing Elixir.”
A streak of surprise skimmed across Lin Yun’s eyes.
Tong Hu chuckled with pride. “Wan Bao Pavilion has always been famous for the elixirs sold here. I even have better ones.”
“Oh?”
It was beyond Lin Yun’s expectation that he could get more important information through a casual chat.
“Please don’t ask. All I can tell you is that there will be no need for them within one or two years.”
Lin Yun turned around, looking interested. “I do need them! I owed someone a huge favour, and have no idea how to repay that person. You might as well tell me the truth, because if it’s valuable enough, I will buy it no matter how much it costs.”
Given Lin Yun’s sincerity, Tong Hu answered after a moment of consideration. “The Heaven Rooted Elixir!”
“What is it for?”
Having known a little about the Heart Nourishing Elixir, Lin Yun haven’t got the faintest idea about what the Heaven Rooted Elixir was.
“There are totally ten levels of martial skills. The trainees have to conquer a gap when ascending to a higher level. However, reaching the tenth stage requires the assistance of an inborn seed, which is no longer a gap, but a chasm!”
Tong Hu continued after a pause, “With the Heaven Rooted Elixir, your chance to succeed will be increased by 30 percent.”
“An inborn seed?”
With a slight change of his facial expression, Lin Yun suddenly realized that Tong Hu knew far more than he did.

He had never heard of such strange things like the inborn seed before.
Tong Hu whispered, “That’s right. The tenth martial level is also called the fake nature. An inborn seed will be forged during the practice. Only through breaking the inborn seed, can the trainee enter the real nature, a brand new world.”
“I’ll take it!”
Lin Yun said without hesitation.
He didn’t need it at that time, but for Su Ziyao, it may soon become a necessity.
Given Su Ziyao’s talent and cultivation, only a treasure as powerful as the Heaven Rooted Elixir could draw her attention.
Other common ones were no more than toys.
In the past two years, she used to give others various precious elixirs randomly as presents, which was a valid proof of her affluence.
Her taste had already been incomparably good.
Lin Yun promised to return her favour by ten times. And he will keep his words.
Lin Yun wouldn’t hesitate to buy it no matter how much it would cost, for it was a thorn in his throat.
To Tong Hu’s surprise, Lin Yun was so resolute.
With a meaningful smile on his face, Tong Hu whispered, “Are you willing to give such a valuable elixir as a present? As the most precious treasure in my store, it has attracted many seniors of sects who wanted to buy it at high prices, which I declined.”
“Name your price then.”
Businessmen always gave priority to profit. It was only a matter of price whether the most precious treasure could be sold or not.
Tong Hu squinted and laughed. “40,000 inferior spiritual stones. No bargain.”
“Deal.”
Only a while later, Lin Yun got a Heart Nourishing Elixir, a Heaven Rooted Elixir and ten average spiritual stones exchanged with 10,000 inferior ones.
Until then, all the inferior stones had been used up.
“What a coincidence. All my spiritual stones have been spent in Tong’s store.” Lin Yun mocked himself.
Tong Hu knew it clearly that Lin Yun was sneering at his duplicity.
As a businessman, Tong Hu had no other merits except for a thick hide.
Tong Hu laughed with embarrassment. “You must be joking, Mr. Lin. How about this? You can take away anything you like in my store as presents.”
“Okay. Thank you very much.”
Lin Yun stood up and sauntered in Wan Bao Pavilion in the company of Tong Hu.
There were various items on sale, including elixirs, scripts, armors, exotic flowers and herbs, many of which was totally strange to Lin Yun.
Every time he took a treasure, Tong Hu, whose eyelids began to twitch, had to force a smile.
It was in the nature of a businessmen to be painful when giving out goods for free.
Lin Yun came to the shelves of books on martial art after touring around the shop.
“Mountain Blasting Knife Play! Four thousand inferior spiritual stones.”
With a casual glimpse, Lin Yun saw a book.
Lin Yun, finding it familiar at the first sight, remembered after a moment that it was him who sold it to Tong Hu.
If memory served him correctly, he had only got 1500 inferior spiritual stones as the earning.
Observing Lin Yun’s face, Tong Hu laughed in embarrassment. “It’s only the marked price, not the real price. Please don’t misunderstand me, Mr. Lin. Neither the old nor the young would be cheated in my store.”
Lin Yun sneered to himself. Only fools would believe you!
Suddenly, a treasured copy a few steps away drew his attention.
“The Spirit Leading Script, emphasizing on the cultivation of the medicinal materials by quickening and promoting their growth, two thousand inferior spiritual stones.”
“I’ll take this one.”
Lin Yun made his final decision. Swaggering Off
