Chapter 5 Gold, Gold, and more Gold

Once he entered the market Yang Yu gazed around. "Just go to that location and place the scrolls." Yun Zhu said as Yang Yu nodded, doing as he said. Since this was Merchant Street Yang Yu didn't need to worry about thieves, because the security here was much tighter.

As Yang Yu sat down, he watched as person after person passed by. "Try entice them a bit, by looking so glum you aren't going to attract any customers." Yun Zhu said as Yang Yu rolled his eyes.

After this Yang Yu stood up. "Selling High Grade Yellow Rank techniques, for only 60 gold, if you don't buy them now the price will go up by tomorrow!" Yang Yu shouted as some people turned their heads, they quickly dismissed Yang Yu though, as why would a child have such a strong technique.

Time quickly passed and soon the sun began to disappear over the horizon, as Yang Yu lost hope a person looked at his selection and grabbed the scroll of paper. "I've never heard of this technique before, but it seems legit, how much is it?" He asked as he got out his money.

"60 gold." Yang Yu said as the man gave him the exact money. "Wow, just 60? What a steal, but if I find out this is a scam, I will have your head." The man said before turning away happy.

Hearing this Yang Yu was a bit frightened but he trusted that Yun Zhu would not give him counterfeit items. "Since we've sold all our stock today, we should look for an inn to stay in." Yun Zhu suggested as Yang Yu nodded.

He immediately got up and left. After he did so he headed to the material seller and bought more ink and paper. Afterward he headed to the Sky Spirit's Inn and bought a room for the next 2 months.

'That was so bloody expensive, 20 gold?' Yang Yu thought before handing the ink and paper to Yun Zhu. "Make 3 more techniques, a different one this time." Yang Yu said as Yun Zhu simply nodded before writing down another High Grade Yellow Rank technique.

"Whew, I need to take a break, considering how low my soul strength is, and the fact that you have barely any qi to speak of, this is very strenuous." Yun Zhu said as Yang Yu nodded.

"Well regardless, after this I will earn 300 more gold, meaning we'll be left with 340 gold to spend as we please these following months." Yang Yu said with a grin.

"You should get some rest now, as they say, early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise." Yun Zhu said with a grin as Yang Yu simply shook his head before going to bed.

The next day Yang Yu set up shop, and immediately the man from the previous day came rushing towards him. "That manual you sold me, it really worked! Not only that but its power is close to that of Peak Grade! How much do these cost?" The man said in a hurry.

Immediately hearing this the other people in the market looked on in interest. "Seeing as you're my first customer, only 100 gold for 1." Yang Yu said, immediately the man pulled out 100 gold and gave it to Yang Yu before snatching a manual.

"Earthen Body technique? This technique will surely increase my defence by a tremendous amount!" The man said before pocketing the technique and bowing to Yang Yu. Seeing this the surrounding crowd rushed over.

"I want the technique? How much is it? 100 I'll pay that."

"I also want it will 100 be fine?"

"Wait I too want it, and there are only 2 techniques left."

They said one after the other. "Bid then." Yang Yu replied as a bidding war began. Soon it reached the end as 1 sold for 150 and the other for 145.

"A pleasure doing business with you people, if that will be all, I'll take my leave." Yang Yu said before walking off, with all the money in hand. 'Its best to leave quick, before anyone thinks of robbing me.' He thought as he raced through the crowd.

Finally after running for well over 10 minutes, he reached the inn and bolted into his room before shutting the door. "Nice strategy, it brought about quite the great haul." Yun Zhu said as he smiled at Yang Yu.

"Ya, you pick up a thing or two after living it rough." Yang Yu said as he opened the bag and looked at the coins. 'Good thing Old Ye gave me those first few coins, or else I would have been in dire straits.' Yang Yu thought in gratefulness as by the side Yun Zhu chuckled.

"Well now that this is done, what do you plan to do these next 2 months? If you want to cultivate, I have a few techniques which may benefit you." Yun Zhu said as Yang Yu shook his head. "I don't plan to cultivate for now, if you didn't know, the Sky Spirit Sect has 2 entry tests, the Test of Strength, and the Test of Will. To take part in the Test of Will you must have no cultivation base." Yang Yu explained.

"Oh, I recall this sect having such a tradition, I didn't think they'd keep it. So I assume you're going for the prize?" Yun Zhu asked. "Of course I am, that Pure Mortal Physique pill will be mine!" Yang Yu said as he clenched his fists in determination.
