Chapter 34: 34

John got out of the way and entered the building. Inside, a crowd greeted John. Dozens of people were on the first floor talking to one of the many attendants or perusing the various items on display.

A middle-aged man approached John and asked, “There can I help you with, Sir?”

“What is this place?” ask John.

“This Mystic Trade Hall. Well, the branch Trade Hall stationed in the Dreadel Kingdom. Can I help you?” ask the man again.

“Balai trade branch?” thought John. This building was quite luxurious, and was even larger than the trading hall of his own clan, yet it was only a branch building?

Realizing he had been standing there in silence, John quickly said, “I want to sell some corpses of early Mist Creation level beasts. Also, if you have the art of gun fighting, I want to see it too.”

“Alright, follow me” replied the man before turning around. John follows him through the door at the back of the large room, where a large staircase opens for John.

The man took John to the third floor of the building before walking down the hallway and entering one of the many available rooms. John stepped into the room and looked around. There are two comfortable sofas with tables in between. Many statues and luxurious vases were placed on a small pedestal around the room.

“Please sit. Someone will come soon to meet your needs.” The officer slowly closed the door and left.

John looked around the room for a while before sitting on one of the sofas. He closed his eyes and started to focus on cultivating. John was currently stuck in a bottleneck, and was meditating to better understand the Dantian and Qi he was using. Although fighting is the best way to loosen the barriers, meditation also helps.

Five minutes later, the door slowly opened and an officer entered. It was a woman who seemed to be in her early twenties. She has long black hair and big brown eyes. His face was quite sharp, giving him quite an intimidating presence.

“Qi Condensation?” john thought as he opened his eyes in surprise. Even the officers of the Mystical Trade Hall had such cultivation. And this is just one of the branch buildings.

The woman sat on the sofa opposite John and placed a set of tea on the table between them. He poured two cups of tea and thrust one toward John.

“How strong is Mystic Trade Hall?” muse John.

“I heard you have some animal corpses for sale. And you're also looking for some weapons of war?” ask the woman.

“Yes. I have many beast corpses, all at the initial level of Fog Creation. Please see for yourself,” replied John while handing over his storage ring. He had moved all the beast corpses from the spatial area of the palace into his storage ring.

The woman took the ring and checked its contents. As he inspected all the corpses of the beasts, his eyebrows slightly raised.

“They all lost their blood essence?” ask the woman.

John nodded at his question but did not explain further. The woman looked at John for a few seconds before looking back at the storage ring. After a few seconds, he spoke up.

John thought about it for a while before accepting it. Although the lost blood essence lowered the value of the corpse slightly, there was nothing he could do about it. The woman moved the corpse to her own storage ring before handing back her storage ring to John with ten gold coins inside.

“Now after this issue is resolved, what kind of battle art are you looking for?” ask the woman curiously. He had already noticed the boy in front of him. His robe clearly showed that he was from the Fenix Clan. Having said that, he had treated her with respect from the very beginning and had even taken care of her personally despite being quite important at this branch location. Yet he was curious, why was the young man of the Fenix Clan so far away from their clan, even so.

“Well, my request depends on what you can give,” said John, his response caused the woman to raise her eyebrows slightly.

“I'm looking for Mist Creation level sickle art that you have. If you don't have one, then I want to see all the great swords of your Mist Creation class” John replied.

He is currently in a bit of trouble. His mountain-destroying sword was quite powerful, but his weapon was only at Body Refinement level. The low quality of the weapon affected the strength of the technique, lowering it significantly.

On the other hand, he had a powerful Mist Creation class scythe, but no techniques could be used. His only technique was written in an ancient language that he could not understand. If the Mystical Trade Hall had some powerful sickle technique, John could start using his scythe. Otherwise, he thought he would only obtain a stronger great sword.

“Sickle technique huh? Very interesting,” answered the woman while patting the sofa armrest rhythmically.

“We do have some techniques. A minute.” The woman took out a small disc. It had many runes carved on its surface. John knew he was channeling his Qi into the disk, but did not ask what he was doing.

A few minutes later, the door opened. A boy entered the room and quickly approached the woman before handing over her two storage rings. The woman checked the ring before nodding to the boy, at which point she quickly left the room.

“It looks like he used the disk in his hand to contact the boy. I think I remember dad used something similar” thought John.

While John was deep in thought, many books and scrolls suddenly appeared on the table in front of him. John was quickly shocked from his thoughts.

“Very much!” john thought in wonder. There were clearly nearly a dozen books on the table in front of him, all about the sickle battle art. His clan only had one ancient courtyard, but the mystic trading hall had nearly a dozen courtyards.

“Well, I think it makes sense. There is no one in our clan who uses a scythe, so the clan does not need to collect the crescent battle art.” thought John while picking up the book closest to him.

“Body Cleaving Scythe! Pretty impressive name” thought John. He opened the book and read the introduction of the technique. After reading for a while, John put the book down and took the next one.

“Myriad Annihilation Scythe! Sounds dominating.” John read the introduction to the first page technique before putting down the book and taking the next one. He proceeded to do the same for the remaining books before his eyes widened in shock as he looked at the scrolls that were not rolled.

The woman noticed John's startled reaction and narrowed her eyes slightly but said nothing.

John took a few seconds to calm himself down before he reached out his hand and picked up the unrolled scroll.

“This is the same sickle technique as the one from our clan ... but, can I read it?” john was surprised.
