5 Chapter 5 Profession
Lin Lee walked outside his room, started searching through the whole courtyard in order to find metal material.
Inside the kitchen, looking at jade and stone glasses and utensils, he then glanced at the whole courtyard made from wood, except locks are made from metal,
Looking at the mirror, he grabbed the pin in his hair pulled it out, and his open hair scattered around on his back.
He ordered the nanobots to multiply. After devouring the second pin, he bound his hair similarly as before with a crown like dark pin made from nanobots.
Then his eyes fell on the training hall inside this courtyard. He walked inside, looking at swords, sheild, spears and other weapons, his mouth curved, 'found it.'
Grabbing a sword, he ordered the nanobots to devour and multiply. Instantly, nanobots shrouded the sword as if layer spreading on object. Soon, the sword turned into dark black it's weight also reduced a lot.
Looking at the sword made from nanobots, Lin Lee glanced at other weapons around. Instantly, the sword in his hand turned into small black threads rushing toward those weapons, covering all weapons around.
After a while, Lin Lee stored all nanobots inside. Looking at a few cubic meter nanobots almost filling his storage bead, he nodded satisfied.
Ding then retracted inside his body, appearing in his soul space floating.
'Nanobots are enough for now. Also, I didn't expect there would be a limit in control because of my strength. Now I can only control them in a 4-meter distance around, it seems as my strength increases the distance would also increase.' Lin Lee thought to himself then looked around.
"It's time to visit the market to see if I can earn some spirit stone, I should try alchemy, I heard it is one of the best earning profession, using nanobots I can create almost anything now." Lin Lee muttered thoughtfully.
Spirit Stone is the currency used in Spirit Continent. It is divided into four types: Low, Medium, High, and Top. 100 Low spirit stones are equal to 1 Medium spirit stone, 100 Medium spirit stones are equal to 1 High spirit stone, and 100 High spirit stones are equal to 1 Top spirit stone.
Lin Lee walked outside the courtyard, Meng Yu also followed.
"Young Master, why are you going to the market? You should practice," Meng Yu started speaking anxiously, feeling her young master is wasting time instead of practicing.
"Meng Yu, don't worry, although practicing is important, but money and resources are also important. Also, I am a genius; you have to believe me," Lin Lee rubbed her head, looking at her replied with a smile. 'I like this considerate and caring maid very much.'
Meng Yu's face turned red, nodded understandingly, then bowed her head while walking. The next second, she tripped.
Thud!
Lying flat on the ground, embarrassed, she raised her head with a nosebleed and tears flowing through her eyes, spoke chokingly, "I am fine, young master."
Lin Lee's mouth twitched. 'She is really an idiot, who can trip on clean ground?' He grabbed her arm, picked her up, and let her stand up. "Watch the road while walking," Lin Lee reminded helplessly, then passed the handkerchief again.
Meng Yu startled then nodded embarrassingly, looking at Lin Lee.
Looking at her red scratched nose, Lin Lee shook his head, 'She is quite unlucky.' Then walked toward the market.
Meng Yu rubbed her nose and cheek then followed happily.
Inside the city market.
Looking at the street filled with vendors and shops, everything lookslike an ancient eastern culture.
Lin Lee appeared beside a stall, looking at a stall filled with different types of objects, looking at the old hawker with white beard and wrinkled face, pointed at the book on his stall, and asked, "How much is that book?"
Old Hawker glanced at the book Lin Lee was pointing at raised his brow with a smile,
"Young Master has a good eyes. It is the ancient book I found in a cave. I heard there is an inheritance of the divine alchemist hidden inside if someone can decipher it," the old hawker started bragging.
"How many copies have you sold till now?" Lin Lee became speechless, looking at his boastful old face, suddenly asked.
The old hawker blurted out, "512." Next second silence spread around, both pupils shrank, looking at each other for a while.
The old hawker picked the book up and gave it to Lin Lee respectfully. "It's a gift from me, please young master accept it. I am requesting young master to raise your hand. I have an old mother, an old wife, and an old child. I am the only young person in my family to earn outside and feed my family."
Lin Lee's mouth twitched. 'Why do I always encounter such a thing?' Taking the book, he opened it looking at basic alchemy technique and other description, also few 1st Order recipes written inside,
'These recipes looks authentic, but they are 1st Order only, like spirit gathering pill, spirit condensation pill, healing pill, poison pill, detoxification pill. This body owner already read few pill recipes before inside clan pavilion, these recipes matched the one in his memory.' He thought to himself,
Lin Lee shook his head, paid ten spiritual stones, and walked away while reading it.
The old man wiped his sweat away, looking at Lin Lee's back. 'I almost got killed; he must be a young master of this city clan's. These dandies kill anyone upon dissatisfaction.'
He thought to himself, sighing in fortune.
After passing through whole street stall's, Lin Lee brought some high quality non processed metal Ore and other scrap sword and weapons put them inside his bead space let nanobots devour them, he appeared beside a building following his memory,
Tang Auction House. This business belongs to one of the Empire's top clans, Tang Clan.
They sells high class weapon's, pills, exercises, recipes, even medicine plants and other materials you can get them from here for your profession, wether it is alchemist or other profession.
Lin Lee walked inside, Looking at different types of pills and weapons arranged inside the showcase along with price tags.
He glanced at the receptionist a young lady, and asked, "Do you have medicine material for spirit gathering pill, three-petal clover, spirit grass, and spirit clearance fruit? I need ten copies."
The receptionist is a slim girl wearing the uniform of the auction house, with the Tang family emblem. She nodded politely. "Yes, we have, young master Lin. Please wait a minute."
Lin Lee was surprised she recognized him, then realized he also has the purple Lin family emblem on his clothes chest area, representing the main family member of Lin Clan, he nodded waited for a while.
After a while, she returned with three separate packages, passed them to Lin Lee, and told the price. "Here are the ten copies of requested medicine material, total 30 low spirit stones."
"Also can you tell me the price of spirit gathering pill and do you buy them from outside, If yes then for how much your auction house buy's them." Lin Lee then asked curiously,
The staff startled then replied with a smile, "Young master Lin, our auction house sells Top spirit gathering pills at 1 medium spirit stone, and High pill at 50 low spirit stone, 25 low spirit stone for Medium quality pill."
"As for buying, we buy any kind of pills except low quality at the price of 80%. Also, if it's rare pills our auction house will auction them for you, charging 5% auction fee." She explained patiently.
Lin Lee nodded thanked, paid the spirit stones, put the material inside the bead without anyone noticing, then walked out of the auction house with Meng Yu.
'I should follow the recipe and rifine pills then sell them back, one top pill is sold at 80 spirit stone, this profession is really profitable.' Lin Lee thoughtfully walked,
"I didn't expect I would encounter the 3rd young master Lin outside, it's rare sight. I heard you have awakened a useless martial spirit. A tiger father has a dog son." A young boy with ugly square face appeared mocked Lin Lee, with a smirk on his face which makes him more ugly. There were a few followers behind him.
Lin Lee halted in the middle of the street speechlessly, looking at the boy's face.
'As expected, it feels like now I am a protagonist. Well, how should I slap this face? It's so ugly I have an urge to run away now.'
This boy is not from the Lin Clan, but he belongs to the Qin Clan, one of the three struggling Clan's of Silvermoon City. Another one is Fang.
Qin Clan is always on bad terms against their Lin Clan, while Fang as the City Lord's, always stay neutral untill they see some profit.
'Sometimes I wonder if some kind of surname Qin or Fang protagonist will pop out from these two families. Well, anyway, I don't care.' Lin Lee shook his head, even if there are he doesn't care, he will enjoy his life in such an interesting civilization and reach the top steadily.
