The skill hall is surrounded by 10 feet high-quality walls with many seals placed at the corner, and the entrance of the hall protected by an unknown metal door. Ji Yun who was standing outside viewed it as a highly protected vault, because of the high security placed to the hall.
Only when Ji Yun placed his Identity token at the side, the metal door slowly opened giving way to inside. The skill hall construction is not very large but also not small. The building is three stories tall with a metal belfry in the top, the entrance of the hall is recessed by 7 feet tall wooden door.
When Ji Yun entered the building, it's entire floor is carpeted with light blue carpeting which continued from the entrance to the whole hall and many white color crystals suspended from the ceiling which lighted the whole hall, More than 20 wooden shelves fanned out from the entrance to the end of the first floor.
At the side of the hall entrance, Ji Yun can see a squared shaped room with 'Skill Exchange Room' inscribed in the top. He directly entered the room by opening the door, inside a middle age man was reading something. Ji Yun interrupted him by speaking, "Excuse me"
"I want to select some elemental skill....", but Ji Yun's words are interrupted by the middle-aged man.
"You can find skill description in the shelves outside, pick what you want and come inside only when you finished your Elemental Skill selection. Now Scram!!"
Ji Yun came out with a sullen expression, "What a fierce temper, I thought of asking him to recommend me some basic skills. Looks like it's not possible". Ji Yun shook his head and walked towards the wooden shelves to find a suitable skill for him.
At the start of each shelf, it's printed about their 'Elemental skill' like Fire Skill shelf, water skill shelf and some as movement techniques, fist techniques etc. Ji Yun began to search the shelf printed as 'Fire', he began to read every skill name and their descriptions
Fire Dragon palm – 200 Academic points
Provide practitioner the strength to produce dragon fire in their palm when practiced to a high level but the later parts of the skill are lost so it can only be trained till a certain level.
Ring of fire – 400 Academic points
Ring of fire produce fire ring around your body and it can be used as both offense and defense. Its weakness is it consumes a large amount of chakra.
Flame body – 500 academic points
Produces high-temperature flame around your body can be used in hand to hand combat, with sufficient understanding in this technique you can win everyone in the same rank but if you can't control your fire chakra well you will get burned by your own skill.
Like this Ji Yun read many fire elemental skills but many skills require high academic points only very basic techniques required low academic points. But one skill book caught his eye that is,
'Basic Fire Elemental skill' book - 150 academic points.
"Basic level fire skills, very beneficial to someone who's going to practice the fire elemental skills for the first time, It will increase your foundation and help you in the fire chakra control. This book contains the basic fire elemental skills like a Fireball, fire blast, Fire fist etc. If you can grasp the essence of basic skills to a high level then you will be able to easily stand on equal ground against someone who learned high-level fire arts".
"This is it!! With this fundamental level skill, I can easily understand about fire and with good chakra control, I can use this skill to another level. If I get the equivalent skill book for my lightning affinity then it will be too good. How am I supposed to get the skills for my other five affinities?. Whatever I will learn one at a time".
Ji Yun soon searched for the lightning skill book as that of fire skill book he picked and got the skill book named,
'Basic Lightning Elemental skill' Book – 150 Academic points
"Basic level lightning skills very useful to someone who's going to practice the Lightning elemental skills for the first time. This book contains the basic lightning elemental skills like lightning generation, lightning arrow, lightning fist etc. If you can comprehend the basic skills to a high level then you will be able to easily face against someone who learned high-level lightning arts".
Ji Yun made his way to the Skill exchange room, like before the middle-aged man was enjoying his reading, when he saw Ji Yun came back, he asked, "Your identity card and the name of the Skill book you chose"
Ji Yun gave his identity card and calmly replied, "I want Basic fire elemental skill and Basic lightning Elemental Skill book".
The middle-aged man inserted his chakra in the identity card and subtracted Ji Yun academic points. He returned the identity card to Ji Yun with two copies of the book, saying, "Memorize it here and return it back within 1 hour". Ji Yun also understood this concept, so he memorized both the book within 10 minutes and returned the original copy to the middle-aged man and silently left the 'Skill Book hall'
After leaving the Skill Book hall, Ji Yun planned to visit the Medicinal hall. The medicinal box which he stored the clear earth fruit is a normal one, so it can't help him to preserve the medicinal properties of Clear Earth fruit that why he wants to visit the medicinal hall as soon as possible and sell it.
Ji Yun walked towards the medicinal hall which was close to mission hall, the medicinal hall's construction is almost same as a mission hall. In the center of the hall, a woman who was standing behind the counter resembled like 25 years old with little makeup and long hair.
Ji Yun straight away approached the woman while placing the wooden box near her and spoke in an arrogant tone, "I want you to name a price for the material in the wooden box".
The woman frowned hearing the arrogant tone from the youngster but when she saw its a normal medicinal box she become displeased again because if it's a high-grade medicine everyone would store it in the high-grade medicinal box for its longer life, that's why she thought to herself, "Just to sell some normal medicine he was so arrogant, who does he think he is?".
Even though she was displeased with Ji Yun, she has to do her duty so she opened the medicinal box expecting to see some grade 1 or grade 2 medicine but she was stunned by what's inside the box. she hurriedly took some high-grade wooden box from below the counter and transferred the Clear Wind fruit to the new box, Worried the medicinal fruit will lose some of its effects if it kept in the normal box even for 1 more second.
Then she opened the high grade wooden again to check whether what she saw was real or not 'Its really Clear Earth fruit and that too Rank 5!!', the woman shouted in her mind and looked at Ji Yun,
"You are the first person I saw who used the normal box to store Rank 5 medicine. Thank goodness only one day has passed since you plucked the fruit. If one more day, you stored the fruit in the same box its medicinal power would have dissipated in the air.
"I can't possibly waste a high-grade medicinal box for some trash like Rank 5 medicines. You just name a price I am in urgent need of some money". Ji Yun spoke in disdainful tone while his expression is like he was insulted by selling this trash medicine.
The woman taken back by Ji Yun's reply and his expression, if even rank 5 medicines are considered trash then what will he think of rank 4, rank 3 and below!! He must be someone from Eight great families to be this wasteful and haughty.
"I can give you 40,000 gold coins for the fruit". she calmly said to Ji Yun.
"Missy, even though I know this Rank 5 fruit is trash, I heard from my brother it will at least sell for more than 60,000 gold coins seems like I have to visit the auction house to sell this. If not for my urgent need of money I won't bother to sell this trash and will gift it to my second brother as his dinner". Saying this Ji Yun took the high-grade medicinal box and walked towards the exit with no intention to sell.
"OK, I will give you 60,000 gold coins, this is my final offer". When the woman saw Ji was leaving, she gritted her teeth and offered the final price.
Hearing the price Ji Yun turned around with a smile in his face while his arrogant appearance is completely gone and said to the woman while handed the high-grade medicinal box. "Big sister you should have offered this price from the start".
When the woman heard Ji Yun called her as Big sister while the arrogant look completely has gone from his face, she had the same feeling as Old man Jin, 'I was tricked'. She held back the urge to punch him in the face and handed him the bank card with 60,000 gold coins while she angrily said to Ji Yun,
"You are lucky, normally Rank 5 clear wind fruit is only worth 50,000 gold coins but this time one of your blue class senior student urgently in need of this fruit. He even declared if anyone has it, he will buy the fruit with extra 10,000 gold coins. You should thank yourself for your good luck".
"Thank you, Big sister. I will come back again." Ji Yun happily said and walked towards the exit with a smile in his face.
