Novel Bin Chapter 76 - Let This Old Man Give It A Try
An hour later, there was a news circulating that the Alchemy Tower has faced the Heaven\'s Tribulation. The sky went red like a bath of blood, with raging thunders intimidating all the people of the tower. This scared all of them even Lu Han, shitless. The thunder strike down a number of times that almost shook the foundation of the tower and lost half of its resources. But fortunately, there was a minimum casualty. However, this did not make Lu Han happy, because there was only one who died, and that is his younger sister.
After walking out of the tower, Jin Rou decided to take a look in the market since he was already there. He looked here and there to find something that would catch his eyes. After a few minutes of strolling, he landed in a vendor who was selling skill books. He purchased all the yellow-class skill books available since he did not have the time to choose. Of course, this was for himself. After all, he could not always use the skills he learned from the Rou Realm since it might wipe this world out. The 7 yellow-class skill books caused him 100,000 diamonds. This tinge a bit of his heart since a hundred thousand was still very high even for him.
This was not a strange thing for a market to have vendors selling skill books. After all, sects and powerhouses were only giving importance to blue-class and red-class skill books.
Take note, there are three classifications of skill books, the yellow-class skill books which were the lowest grade, the blue-class skill books which were the medium grade. And the red-class which were the high grade. Of course, the red-class was not the end of the classifications since there were still more terrifying classes of skill books. These three classifications were only applied in this word, the Shred Case Mortal World.
After he bought all the yellow-class skill books, he strolled again if he could find something interesting.
Several minutes of strolling, none of the items present had caught his attention, or to put in other words, the items here were more useless to him since all he could see were armaments that the vendors claimed that it had a legendary origin wherein fact those were only imitations. Of course, as someone who has the God Eyes, he could see through whether any armaments were the real deal or not. No one could escape the detection of these eyes. Furthermore, the imitated armaments have a sky-high price. Just think of it, a dagger cost 500,000 diamonds. What sort of situation was this? For an imitation armament having a price like this, it was clearly a robbery and scamming! Those who had a poor eyesight for armaments could be easily fooled by this.
When Jin Rou was about to call it a day, he noticed a group people watching something. Probably a commotion was happening. Due to curiosity and had nothing to do, he decided to walk over take a look. When he reached the sidelines and saw what\'s happening, there was an old man standing probably in his 80\'s. His tattered clothes that seemed accompanied him for many years. His short messy hair as if he did not comb his hair for thousand years that it was already enough to become a bird\'s nest. With his plump stomach even he was thin. Jin Rou\'s first impression was bizarre.
The old man who was standing there said, "Now, no one can do it? It seems that there are new arrivals, I will then repeat. If there is someone who could state the flaws in my skill routine, then I will give this Sky Stirring Necklace to the victor. I don\'t need to say anything about Sky Stirring Necklace because I guess everyone knew already the effects of putting this on?"
A skill routine is a very convenient way of cultivators for asking guidance from a Mentor. This was like a patient and a Master Doctor, he needed to check the patient\'s body to diagnose it.
However, compared to the Master Doctor\'s way, the Mentor\'s skill routine way was something on the next level, and this was more difficult than done. After all, Mentor Job did not place first for nothing. By watching a skill routine, a professional Mentor could already see the problems and flaws of the cultivator who presented it. Since Mentor could not be bestowed by anyone except the Heavens itself, Mentor was something that greatly revered by the masses and seldom doubted their words.
"As if there is a Mentor here in the crowd. Aren\'t you asking too much?"
"That\'s right. You think Mentors were cabbages that could be seen in any market?"
There were voices of complaints from the crowd. Obviously, this was already expected by the old man and just said, "Oh well.. Anyone can try to find flaws with my skill routine. However, one must pay a hundred thousand diamonds first because you know, showing a skill routine is something tiring also."
"Heh. As if we will bite." The crowd answered.
But little did they know, someone really from the crowd was being enticed by this. And of course, this was Jin Rou. When he looked at the Sky Stirring Necklace, he already had seen through its effect! He mumbled to himself, "A necklace that could suppress your cultivation down to Sky Realm, seventh stage? And for with the lower cultivation, it could increase their strength up to Sky Realm, seventh stage?"
This surprised Jin Rou because this type of item was something he was looking for! Although it was really nice that no one could see through his cultivation, it was also boring at the same thought. After all, those smart people would be wary of him and that would be less of trouble. As he wanted to enjoy his stay outside, he wanted more trouble to come to his way.
In fact, if there was an item that could attract trouble, he would immediately purchase it!
Jin Rou decided. He will take up the challenge!
"Time stop." Jin Rou stopped the time. All people froze and the void turned gray. The birds stopped midair while the water from the fountain froze. Everything has stopped.
"Alright. Time to change disguise." Poof! In a matter of second, from young man to an old man aging 60 to 70 years old, the change was really fast! This was the Art of Disguise, no matter whose appearance Jin Rou wanted to copy, it would be a piece of cake. In fact, he could also customize himself if he did not want to copy anyone\'s appearance.
The reason why Jin Rou disguised as an old man was he already caused a huge commotion in the tower. In fact, some of the spectators present here also spectated the tower\'s incident. He could not afford to attract more attention. After all, he wanted to be low-key troublemaker.
If you\'re asking what the hell was that? Then don\'t ask me because I also don\'t know.
"Cancel." The time resumed.
The old man in front laughed and asked again, "So no one really wanted to try?" If none, I will already take my leave."
No one answered. However, before the old man could say anything else.. A gentle old voice suddenly rang their ears, "Let this old man give it a try."
