Chapter 858: Chapter 861: Opening for Business_1

The internal strife among the gladiators of the White Tiger Hall came to an end.

Before the battle, everyone’s guesses cave into nothingness; no one predicted correctly.

Before the battle, people admired Lin Zhen’s courage, but no one optimistic that Lin Zhen could win, unless Chen Yuan’s San Xia Association intervened.

However, the San Xia Association did not take action; Chen Yuan led his team and the members of the Speed Dragon Cavalry together to the mountaintop.

With that, it seemed impossible for Lin Zhen to win, no matter how you looked at it.

But the outcome of the battle was beyond everyone’s expectations; Lin Zhen first used the Black Hole to eliminate most of his rivals, then after a battle to the death, he used his domain power once again to annihilate the remaining enemies. Only he and Fu Qingfeng were left to battle.

...

Fu Qingfeng, worthy of being an Ace Gladiator, was decisive and tactically sound, he exploited a situation and deceived Lin Zhen by taking advantage of his heart being on the right side which gave Lin Zhen a heavy blow.

However, under that circumstance, Fu Qingfeng didn’t secure the final victory; Lin Zhen, with only one hand, held on to him and both of them launched their strongest attacks on each other.

Fu Qingfeng’s sword nearly cut Lin Zhen in half!

While Lin Zhen’s Black Thunderbolt blasted Fu Qingfeng into nothingness.

Fu Qingfeng was reduced to ashes on the spot, but Lin Zhen, dragging half of his body, managed to reach the entrance of the mountaintop just before the influx of the tidal wave, successfully entering the peak!

With the final tidal wave spreading over, the virtual battlefield came to an end.

Lin Zhen successfully entered the top ten thousand and earned the opportunity to advance to the eye of the storm.

But the White Tiger Hall, one of the three major gangs in Tianfang City, failed to send even a single person into the storm’s eye. People were saying that the White Tiger Hall was finished; failing to take down a single Three Flowers with three thousand people showed that the gang had no future.

Many members of the White Tiger Hall chose to resign, and the once-glorious gang fell from grace.

Yet, Lin Zhen’s name truly resonated in Tianfang City.

Not just in Tianfang City, within a radius of several millions light years, Lin Zhen’s name was ringing.

When his name came up, many people would give a thumbs up.

“I know Lin Zhen, the gladiator who’re strong and bold. I see great promise in him; he will achieve good results in the eye of the storm!”

*********

After the end of the virtual battlefield, there were nearly three months left before the opening of the storm’s eye.

There was another piece of news spreading around Tianfang City.

Lin Zhen, who made a big splash in the virtual battlefield and made a name for himself, was going to open a medicinal pill shop!

Nearly half of the people in Tianfang city had seen Lin Zhen’s information and knew that this martial artist, who had made a name for himself in the virtual battlefield, was also a Saint-Level Alchemist. Facing such talent, they couldn’t help but be astonished.

Then again, some people were skeptical, believing that Lin Zhen was too young, and questioning whether the title of Saint-level Alchemist was legitimate. A large number of data analysts began to meticulously calculate Lin Zhen’s age and how he could become a Saint-Level Alchemist at such a young age.

These analysts ruled out eating and sleeping time and even if Lin Zhen had never cultivated and used all his remaining time to refine pills, it still wouldn’t be enough.

However, Lin Zhen is also a Three Flowers Warrior, isn’t he? The whole matter seemed totally unreasonable no matter how you looked at it.

The data analyzers and Lin Zhen’s supporters had many oral arguments on the Internet. The opposition used data to argue, while the supporters were using the word ‘genius’ as an explanation, neither side was able to convince the other.

Among them, an elder from a old medicinal shop run by a seventh-grade Alchemist in Tianfang City personally entered the battle and furiously rebuked Lin Zhen as a fraud.

The seventh-grade Alchemist was named Li Nian, the owner of the hottest medical store in Tianfang City.

He had been running a shop here for tens of thousands of years, and everyone in Tianfang City knew about his Huichun Pavilion.

His message to Lin Zhen in the dimensional universe was as follows.

“Yellow-mouthed child Lin Zhen is nothing more than a martial arts fanatic. Such people are common among martial artists and not rare. However, practicing martial arts and refining pills are two completely different paths, there are numerous martial arts experts, but there’s not even one Saint-Level Alchemist in the entire Tianfang City; Lin Zhen is nothing more than a fraud!”

“Even if he refined pills from the womb, he could only become a sixth-level Alchemist at most, at this day and age. I did not expect this man to be so shameless, claiming to be a Saint-Level Alchemist, which is utterly outrageous! It was acceptable when he didn’t open a shop, but if he dares to do business, I will surely expose his true colors!”

What others said didn’t matter. Still, the words of Li Nian, an old seven-grade Alchemist, were very convincing.

Upon hearing his words, even more people in Tianfang City began to doubt Lin Zhen, doubting his status, questioning the authenticity of his elixir.

People were also waiting, waiting for Lin Zhen’s Elixir Store to open, so they could see the truth.

**********

In Tianfang City, there’s a bustling business street where there is a shop. This shop was originally an asset of Kressman’s family. Now it has become Lin Zhen’s Elixir Store.

Being the only one among the White Tiger Hall’s gladiators who ultimately stood on the mountaintop, Kressman became a one-star warrior after leaving the virtual battlefield when Lin Zhen promptly found a demon warrior in the spiritual mind stage for him to kill. After becoming a one-star warrior, Kressman was no longer under the control of the gladiator field and immediately joined Lin Zhen’s ranks, becoming the steward of the Elixir Store.

This shop, with a floor space of thousands of square meters, was bought by Lin Zhen with a promissory note of 20 million.

If it were any other person, Kressman would never accept a promissory note, but Lin Zhen was different.

Lin Zhen had given him the opportunity to enter the eye of the storm, this favor was priceless. What’s more, Lin Zhen had told Kressman that the twenty million might be recovered in a day.

Kressman was working alongside Lin Zhen, and of course, did not care about such trivial matters, he immediately agreed.

The construction of the Elixir Store began, and its structure was swiftly erected.

Lin Zhen lived alone in the back hall of the Elixir Store, where he practiced Alchemy and cultivation in his spare time.

The day before the opening.

*********

Lin Zhen was sitting in the back hall, with a water mirror screen in front of him.

“Siamese Grass, Ten Thousand Miles Fragrance, Star Illusion Stone… these three main herbs, they are the keys to my advancement to the Three Flowers Middle Stage. With these three kinds of herbs, I can quickly refine the Yang Hua Pill for my Flower of Qi.”

“This money is not the bulk, what I really need now, is this thing.”

Lin Zhen pointed his finger into the air a few times and quickly turned to a page.

On the page was a giant bronze bell called the Ethereal Divine Clock.

This divine clock had a very special function that is, it contained the powers of the Time Law.

Using this divine clock for cultivation, one could decelerate the time flow in the surroundings.

A day consists of twenty-four hours, the normal bell tolls once every hour, but this divine clock can decelerate time by up to twenty-four times, and toll only once a day.

As long as the user has sufficient Star Power, and understands the Time Law, they could cultivate in a state of Time Deceleration by driving the divine clock.

When Lin Zhen was in the New World, he had obtained a pocket watch and a Time Stone, and his understanding of the Time Law was quite deep. But in the Original World, everything was different. Everything from the New World no longer applied here.

For example, time on Earth is determined by the rising and setting of the sun, it is based on a Constant Star.

But the time in the Original World is determined by the laws of the cosmic universe, which are infinitely more profound than those of the New World. Lin Zhen’s Time Law became less and less effective. After years of hard cultivation, he could barely accelerate or decelerate time during attacks, and the results were not satisfactory.

Ever since he learned about the Hall of Fame and the title of King from Chen Yuan, Lin Zhen realized what he lacked most.

What he lacked the most was time.

Although to others, the fact that Lin Zhen had reached this level of cultivation at over a thousand years old was unimaginable, but for Lin Zhen, it was not enough.

His current environment required him to have greater power, but even if he consumed elixirs, he would still need time to absorb their effects. What he lacked the most was time to adapt to the changing environment.

Therefore, when he saw that an auction in Tianfang City would be auctioning off this divine clock in a month’s time, Lin Zhen decided he had to buy it.

Although the starting bid for the divine clock was as high as one billion!

This item couldn’t even be categorized as a spirit treasure anymore, it belonged to a higher tier, called a supreme treasure.

The purchasing power of the Endless Battlefield’s currency is very strong. Items worth hundreds of millions are rarely seen. Items with a starting bid of one billion are even rarer.

“One billion… this is just the starting price. What about the final transaction price? As far as I know, many people have their eyes on this divine clock. They won’t give me any leeway just because I am Lin Zhen. Therefore, I need to prepare a large amount of wealth in this period.”

“I only have one month. I wonder how much wealth I can accumulate. I estimate I need at least thirty billion to buy this divine clock.”

“Time… If I can successfully drive this divine clock and master the law of time deceleration, then I will have a lot of time. This is my weapon to catch up with other masters.”

Lin Zhen was silently calculating in his heart, most of his elixirs were already out for display. He wondered how much money he would earn when the shop opens tomorrow.

But what he was most hopeful about was the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill. If he really wanted to make a lot of money, only this kind of elixir could possibly make it happen.

While he was calculating, Kressman ran in.

“Boss, that Li Nian is spouting nonsense in the Dimensional Universe again.”

“What did he say this time?”

“That old man has gathered a large number of people in the Dimensional Universe, many of whom are in the alchemy industry. These people are now very hostile to you. They say that they will teach us a lesson when our Elixir Store opens tomorrow. They intend to squeeze you out of the elixir market!”

“Oh! This old man’s ambition is not small. It seems that getting rid of me brings him great benefits.”

“Yes, this old guy is a Seventh-grade Alchemist and has always considered himself the strongest alchemist in Tianfang City. He’s very accomplished in alchemy. Boss, you have to be careful, don’t let things go wrong.”

Lin Zhen smiled and nodded: “Don’t worry. No one can take advantage of me. Since he wants to come, let him come. It will serve as good advertising for our Elixir Store.”

“Alright! With your words, boss, I can rest assured. I’ll go and get ready then.”

Kressman eased his mind and ran out.
