When Lin Fan came back, there was nothing else to do, so he closed the store and headed home to cultivate.
After a good night's rest, Lin Fan came back to the store early in the morning to find the wholesale suppliers already waiting outside. Among the wholesalers, there was Wang Ning standing there with her dad.
Ever since her dad had heard that she was friends with the owner of the store, she had been dragged here every single day to buy ingredients. Her dad kept pushing her towards Lin Fan in hopes that he would receive a special discount or special treatment, but that never worked in front of Lin Fan who had the emotional capacity of a block of wood.
Of course, Wang Ning didn't want anything to happen either since she still thought that Luo Qing was interested in Lin Fan.
Whenever she came, she always asked Lin Fan about his nights with Luo Qing since her best friend had of course told her that she had been dragged to Lin Fan's house day after day.
Lin Fan normally would ignore everything that people said about love, but after every single thing that had happened between him and Luo Qing, Lin Fan really couldn't help losing his cool a bit when Wang Ning teased him.
After sending off all the wholesalers that came in the morning, the store entered a period of lull.
Since it was a weekday, even the usual customer who never left Murong Quan was gone since he still had to go to school.
Lin Fan took this time to check the cultivation realm farm and found that his orders had been finished, so he gave them a few new orders.
Looking over the inventory gained, Lin Fan was disappointed since there was only a single special ingredient found. It seemed like he would have to keep going into high grade cultivation realms to gather special ingredients, but it did make sense that he didn't find any since this was just a low grade cultivation realm.
From time to time, there would be a seeker or two that had heard of Lin Fan's fame that came to check his store, but they were quickly scared off by his high prices and his famous smile.
During this period, Angela was doing her usual thing of teasing the few pets that they did receive or playing around with the watch that Lin Fan had got her. During these times, it really made her look like a teenage girl who was bored during her job. No one would have thought that underneath that sweet appearance, there was an angel of death.
As for Momonga, he had gotten quite close with Brainy.
Brainy after coming out of the planar crack had been exploring the internet with the laptop that Lin Fan had left. Brainy was someone who possessed the Queen of Knowledge bloodline, so of course Brainy was someone that learned quite fast.
After skimming through the internet, Brainy had learned the majority of the human language, just still not understanding a few idioms and slang that people used.
However, since Brainy didn't have vocal cords and it couldn't use the vines it was made up of to create some even though it could take many different forms with its vines, Brainy communicated through writing with the electronic notepad that Lin Fan had ordered for it.
Currently Momonga and Brainy were focused on their chess match and based on the other strategic board games on the side, it seemed like they had been going for quite some time.
Lin Fan was about to get up and move over to see who was winning, but the bell over the door suddenly rang and attracted his attention.
When Lin Fan turned over, he saw an old man walking in and he paid no more attention to him.
However, if he had looked closer, he would have seen that while this old man's clothes were quite ordinary, they were actually made of the finest materials. As well, there was an aura around this old man that made him completely different from normal people.
Angela and Momonga would have been able to tell instantly what this was, but they didn't pay any more attention to this old man since they considered all humans beneath them, with the exception to Lin Fan and his mysterious master.
This old man was actually a Legendary Realm Expert, namely the Legendary Realm Expert that had been sent by the Union Government to close the planar crack.
After he had heard that a young man who wasn't even twenty yet had defeated nine Gold Realm Beasts and a mutated beast, as well as being able to tame three pets that were in the Gold Realm, he knew that this young man was a genius.
The reason he had come today was to see this talented young man and if he was as talented as everyone said, he planned on taking him as a disciple. To be more accurate, this old man was nearing the end of his life and he didn't see hope in breaking through even if he left this world, so he wanted to leave everything to a final disciple.
But the old man was disappointed the moment he came into the shop because of how ordinary it looked.
While the shop did look quite well decorated despite where it was located, it seemed like there was nothing special about it.
The old man continued to look over the shop and remained unimpressed until his eyes fell onto Momonga and Brainy.
He was shocked to find that this silver haired young man was actually playing chess with this vine snake. The fact that the vine snake could actually play chess meant that it was a pet that had developed intelligence and it seemed like it wasn't just normal intelligence, it seemed to be supreme intelligence which made a pet as smart as a human. This was a skill that was only obtained when a beast underwent a mutation.
On this Blue Star Planet, there were few pets that were like this. Even on the planet that was on a higher realm compared to this planet, there were few pets like this.
Mutated beasts were much stronger than normal beasts, so to tame one, it required one to have immense strength and willpower, all of which were signs of great talent.
But after he got over his shock of Brainy, the old man's eyes drifted over to the silver haired man and he felt even more shock than when he saw Brainy.
What shocked him was that he couldn't see through this silver haired man no matter how hard he tried, it was like it was a bottomless abyss that he couldn't see into.
There were only two explanations for this. One was that this silver haired man had a strong technique for hiding his cultivation that was at a level that surpassed his senses. Two was that this silver haired man was actually at a higher level of cultivation than him.
If it was the latter, this would have shattered his world views since this silver haired man looked like someone who was just entering his twenties. It was a good thing that this old man didn't know that this silver haired man was someone who was more than a million times his age.
The old man continued looking over the shop and his eyes soon turned to Angela. Just like the silver haired man, he found that he couldn't see through this black haired teenage girl either.
This was a girl who was only in her teens and yet he couldn't see through her cultivation, what could it mean?
Just what was with this shop?!
The old man moved over to where Momonga and Brainy were having their chess match and he asked Momonga, "Young man, is this your pet that you're playing chess with?"
Momonga had felt this old man trying to probe him again and again, which he did find a bit annoying, but he still calmly said, "No, it's the pet of the owner. He's the young man standing over there." After saying that, he pointed to Lin Fan.
The old man turned over to Lin Fan and he could tell that Lin Fan was already in the Gold Realm based on his spiritual energy.
The incident had only happened over a week ago and during that incident, the records stated that Lin Fan was someone at the peak of the Silver Realm who could fight a mutated Gold Realm beast!
It only took a single week for him to jump from the peak of the Silver Realm into the Gold Realm! This was talent that couldn't be described with words, this was even comparable to the top geniuses in the upper realm!
The old man moved over to Lin Fan who looked at him with a wary gaze since he was a bit put off by the overly warm gaze the old man gave him and the old man said, "Young man, do you want to become my disciple?"
