Next to Lin Chen's desk were several men discussing the matter that caught his attention.
"Who do you think the younger generation of the 10 Eastern Continent powers will be the representative of the Bing Empire in the 5 Continents competition?" asked one of the men wearing blue clothes.
"Of course, Young Master Wang Zhao from the Wang Family, and for the rest, it's likely from the Sword Sect, Golden Eagle Sect, and Hu Family," replied another in green clothes.
"But. What if the young man who destroyed the Blue Cloud Sect were to take part in the selection?" he asked again.
"Of course he can get slots easily, it's just that does he have backers who want to register them?" he answered with a question.
"That is true. Even though he is very strong, if he is not recommended by a major power, he will not be able to take part in the selection," said another man in brown clothes.
Lin Chen, who heard that nodded in agreement that he didn't have any backers from the ranks of the top 10 powers.
Xue Ying, who saw her master was lost in thought, knew what her master was thinking, "Do you want to take part in the selection?" she asked gently.
Lin Chen snapped out of his thoughts when he heard Xue Ying's voice, and he nodded slightly in response to her question.
Xue Ying was surprised by Lin Chen's answer. With Lin Chen's current wealth, it was effortless for him to buy rare items from the system to gain experience? His current strength could even easily destroy the Empire, so there was no reason to enter a time-wasting competition. Xue Ying thought, "Why?" Xue Ying asked again.
Lin Chen was silent and thought for a moment before replying, "Hmm. Maybe it's because I've never followed him?" he answered hesitantly.
Other visitors who heard Lin Chen's chatter turned their heads towards Lin Chen, "Young man. Judging from your smooth skin, it looks like you haven't practiced any martial arts. So just throw away the thought of taking part in that selection!" said the man at the next table.
Lin Chen also released his cultivation aura when he heard the words of the man who resented him. Of course, he didn't use all his strength.
The man in blue who sensed Lin Chen's aura was shocked beyond words, "Th-This. Qi Refinement," he stammered.
"Uncle. May I know the requirements to register?" asked Lin Chen, who retracted his aura.
"There are several conditions firstly, one must be under 20 years of age, for one's cultivation level to be unlimited, and most importantly to get a recommendation from the 10 great powers," he explained, who closed his eyes. "Ah, I just remembered, the Medicine Pavilion is looking for youths who want to represent their organization," he continued as he recalled something.
"If the Medicine Pavilion is one of the 10 great powers, why don't they send their members?" asked Lin Chen, which he thought was a bit strange.
"5 years ago they sent the owner's grandson, but now he is over 20 years old. So they are looking for people who want to represent them," explained the man in blue.
Lin Chen, who heard that nodded his head in understanding.
Lin Chen felt he could get a recommendation from the Medicine Pavilion easily.
After finishing his meal and bidding farewell to the man in blue, Lin Chen decided to go to the Medicine Pavilion with the features the people from the inn had mentioned.
After some time, Lin Chen finally arrived at a fairly tall building with a 'Medicine Pavilion' sign hanging above the entrance.
Lin Chen entered unhindered and was greeted by the maid, "Is there something I can help you with, sir?" asked the waiter politely.
"Ah. I want to sell some Pills," replied Lin Chen.
The waiter nodded slightly, "If sir wants to sell pills, please go to the reception desk," the waiter replied, showing a long table with several people guarding it.
Lin Chen turned his head in the direction he was pointing and walked towards the reception desk. He was greeted back by a beautiful woman with pink hair dangling with several flower decorations.
"Welcome. I'm Xu Ji Yan. Can I help you, sir?" she introduced herself.
"I want to sell this," replied Lin Chen, reaching into his shirt pocket.
Lin Chen took out a jade bottle with green patterns on the reception desk.
Xu Ji Yan, the receptionist, grabbed the jade bottle and opened it. How surprised she was when she saw the Pill with golden lines and could smell the sweet smell of the Pill spreading throughout the room, "Th-This… Gold level," she stammered.
"How much does it cost?" asked Lin Chen, who saw the shocked expression on Xu Ji Yan's face.
Xu Ji Yan snapped out of her shock when she heard a voice in front of her, "Ah, I'm sorry. For this price, I don't know, but I'll call our Chief," she said, bowing and then leaving Lin Chen after seeing Lin Chen's wave.
Sometime later…
Xu Ji Yan returned with a middle-aged man with black hair, a matching beard, and red clothes.
The man looked at Lin Chen, "Young master, my name is Xu Wei Hao, the owner of the Medicine Pavilion," he introduced himself.
Lin Chen got up from his seat, "Lin Chen," he replied, cupping his hands towards Xu Wei Hao.
Xu Wei Hao turned his head to the jade bottle lying on the table, "Does young master want to sell this?" he asked, holding the jade bottle.
"Sure," replied Lin Chen curtly.
"Hmm. We can buy it for 500 thousand gold taels, that's if you don't mind," said Xu Wei Hao, showing five fingers.
"I don't want money for the fee. Instead, please recommend me in the selection for the 5 Continents competition," said Lin Chen.
Xu Wei Hao, who heard that, was shocked with wide eyes. He looked at Lin Chen in surprise, "Young Master Lin is serious? Although we are looking for people to represent the Medicine Pavilion. However, wouldn't that benefit you? Why did you follow him?" he asked for sure.
Lin Chen, who found the questions smiled slightly and nodded, "Sure. I want to gain experience," Lin Chen replied casually.
Xu Wei Hao, who heard Lin Chen's answer was about to refuse because he thought it was unfair. But after seeing the seriousness in Lin Chen's eyes, he finally nodded in agreement.
He also handed over a wooden plate bearing numbers, "That's the participant number for Young Master Lin's tournament, within a week from now Young Master Lin can come to the big Arena in the middle of the City," he explained.
Xu Wei Hao again handed over the wooden plate with a different engraving, "This is a sign for our Medicine Pavilion VIP guests, young master can get a 10% discount when purchasing herbal ingredients on each floor," he continued.
"Thank you Senior," said Lin Chen cupping his hands.
Lin Chen left the Medicine Pavilion after giving them a few more jade bottles with different effects for each pill.
Lin Chen strolled around the entire city after getting what he wanted, "The capital is indeed huge, even hundreds of times larger than Xing City," he muttered as he saw the bustle of the city.
After being satisfied touring the City, they returned to the inn and rested after eating dinner.
