Xiao Chen used his space law with a sword Qi. Nu Ying was unable to avoid it and when she thought the attack landed her, suddenly, the sword's energy avoided her and blasted toward the other side of the courtyard wall.
BANG.
The Sword Qi tears the wall like paper and crumbles to the ground. The world around them trembles and returns to silence.
" Young Master, what type of techniques you are using? It carried such destructive power," Nu Ying looked at the crumbled wall with fear. If the sword Qi was directed towards her it might be her who crushed to dust.
" My Law is different than others," Xiao Chen in his smile," I am going to farewell to Old Librarian before we move. "
" In this Big family like Xiao Clan, you will not find any happiness. If you have a talent others will get jealous and try to kill you, and if you are not talented you will be treated like trash. In this family, strength speaks louder than rationalism. There is no right or wrong, only strong and weak," Old Librarian told Xiao Chen when he heard that Xiao Chen was planning to leave the Xiao Clan.
The following day, Xiao Chen and his maid Nu Ying leave the clan secretly. Others including his father had no idea about Xiao Chen's departure.
Elders are busy with their schemes to eliminate Xiao Chen because they do not want Xiao Chen as a ruler of the young generation. More talent means more resources and they do not want to waste resources.
Xiao Chen knows that if he wants to depend on Xiao Clan it will hinder his growth. He may be a genius but with elders' and patriarchs' powers, his resources for cultivation will be limited.
He wants to experience the outside world and increased his fighting experience, even if the outside world is dangerous but he can get more resources if he was lucky.
Xiao Chen knows strength alone is not enough for him to survive, he has to have a decent amount of wealth. The first thing he wants to do after he leaves the clan was to make more money.
To become wealthy there are many ways like selling pills but Xiao Chen was not an alchemist, to fight in the arena he do not have time so the most favourable way for him was to sell techniques.
Xiao Chen inherent many techniques from his masters. Although most are related to Space and Time law some can be used without this Supreme Law and the best way to sell them is an auction them.
There are many factions and treasure shops that are not under three big clans. They spread along the borders of three big clans. On the surface, the three clans may be powerful but many powerful ones are hiding in the dark manipulating faction and pavilions.
Jinqian Pavilion was one of the nearest factions that exist between the Long Clan and Xiao Clan borders. The Long clan was in the western part and the Xiao clan was on the eastern side. The Lin clan was on the northern side of the Azure Dragon Province.
" Can I see your Pavilion master?" Xiao Chen asked the front desk lady. Although she did not see Xiao Chen's cultivation, she could not look directly into Xiao Chen's eyes which were deep and unfathomable.
" Please wait here, sir. I will immediately call Master," the front desk lady runs to the master's room.
After a minute later she called Xiao Chen to the Pavilion master's room.
" What can I do for you? " The pavilion master greeted Xiao Chen. He was in a simple dress but Xiao Chen could not perceive his cultivation. He might be a Nascent Soul realm.
" I want to auction something if possible," said Xiao Chen.
" Sir, what are things that you want to auction? " the pavilion master said.
" It is a two-high earth technique. One is movement and fists techniques, " Xiao Chen said without any expression.
" Two high earth techniques?!!!" the pavilion master was surprised and lost in composure. Even though he was a Pavilion master he knows how rare high earth techniques are. Big families like the Xiao family may have ten to twenty but they will not auction them. They are so protective about their techniques and inheritance.
Today two earth techniques are here in front of him. He immediately knows Xiao Chen was not simple. Even though he was a Nascent Soul realm he could not discern Xiao Chen's cultivation.
" Can I? " asked Xiao Chen without caring about their actions of surprise.
" It's my pleasure, " the Pavilion master replied respectfully, " You go and get a VIP card for this young sir. "
With a VIP card, Xiao Chen was invited to sit on the second top. Xiao Chen wants to observe the auction and see if there is anything that he wants.
The auction starts with the different things that are displayed and fought for prizes. Xiao Chen did not find anything that he likes. There are mid and low-earth techniques and pills but they are low levels that are not useful to him.
His techniques are sold for one billion and fifty thousand mid-tier spiritual stones. It was a huge sum of money. So he asked Nu Ying if anything that she want but she refused it.
" Young sir, you spiritual stones are here. We charge twenty thousand for the auction. With this sir get one billion and thirty thousand mid-tier spiritual stones," The Pavilion master presents spiritual stones that are Xiao Chen.
" Pavilion master I want to buy a weapon suitable for my friend," pointing at Nu Ying," if possible."
" Please you can choose anything from our treasure house. Please this way," the Pavilion master leads Xiao Chen to the treasure house.
Inside the treasure house, there are many weapons but he could not find any weapons that he likes.
" Nu Ying you can choose any weapon that you like. We had to have a strong weapon to protect ourselves,"
Nu Ying went around the treasure house to look for weapons. There are a total of three levels in the Jinqian Pavilion treasure house. When Xiao Chen was about to give up he found a wooden sword lying in the corner ignored by people.
When he picked up and performed basic sword techniques, the sword was light and faster compared to other swords of metals or higher grades. He remembered that to perform Space or Time law the quality of weapons does not matter but comprehension matters. Therefore, for him as long as his cultivation and comprehension are high the weapons do not bring him any benefits.
" I will choose you, "Xiao Chem was satisfied by this sword.
" Sir this sword was something that a warrior got from an ancient battlefield. The warrior thought that it was a treasure but many people analysed that it was just junk, so we ignored it. " The pavilion master explained to Xiao Chen.
" Oh, then how much you will charge for this sword?" Xiao Chen asked as he examined the sword but he also did not find anything special about it.
" I will give it for free if sir likes it. " Pavilion master said as he thought that it was just junk and what young sir was thinking.
