บท 38: Qi Baishi returns
After a while, Shuaji and Alchemist Yan prepared to leave the restaurant.
Jun who has been watching from a corner all this while, approached them with a gentle smile.
"Alchemist Yan, I have long heard about your impressive deeds. I am Ban Xi, may I have a word with you?"
Alchemist Yan sized up Jun with a curious gaze. "Sure, boar man, but you will have to buy me a drink?"
"Boar man?" Jun squinted his eyes and felt like punching Alchemist Yan's face.
Even though he is in the body of his avatar, it doesn't mean that any random guy could disrespect him.
Still, he forced a smile and endured it. "Haha, Alchemist Yan sure knows how to make jokes."
Alchemist Yan narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Who said I am joking? Have you never seen yourself in the mirror?" Alchemist Yan said in a mocking manner.
Jun's smile froze and a dangerous glint appeared in his eyes, but he didn't show anything on the surface.
"It seems Alchemist Yan is in a bad mood today. In that case, I will no longer disturb you." Jun cupped his fists.
"Hmph!" Alchemist Yan snorted coldly and turned to leave without saying a word.
Shua Ji followed behind him with an apologetic look.
"I wanted to do you a favor, but you are too arrogant. Let's see how long you can persist with your lacking talents." Jun shook his head dejectedly.
The reason why Jun wanted to contact Alchemist Yan was because he wanted to use his [Alchemy Apprentice] talent scroll.
Jun acquired this talent scroll recently and planned to use it to recruit an alchemist for himself.
However, after seeing Alchemist Yan's status panel, he decided to give it to Alchemist Yan.
Who could have that, that this alchemist would be so blinded by his arrogance?
Jun shook his head and returned back to the shop.
He decided to look for Elder Wong and see how spirit boat production was going.
As soon as he entered, he was greeted with the deafening sounds of metal clashing, the sour smell of sweat, and scorching heat.
There were puppets hammering cold iron in the side, while Elder Wong was directing all the other Blacksmiths who were smelting the iron in the furnace.
After Jun entered, Elder Wong noticed Jun and hurriedly ran to his side.
"Shop Owner, you should have informed me if you needed anything. Why did you have to come to such an uncomfortable place?"
Jun smiled and looked at Elder Wong. "I just came here to inspect the goods and ask for some advice from you."
"What kind of advice?" Elder Wong asked with a puzzled expression.
"It's like this, you should know about the battle arena right?"
"Who doesn't? Stories about your battle arena are famous on our island."
Jun nodded with a smile. It seems investing in the battle arena was a good thing.
"In that case, you should know that the previous battle arena had only two stages. One was a battle with a demon beast and another one was a duel between participants."
Elder Wong nodded.
"So, the problem is, I still think that the battle arena is still lacking a lot in terms of overall scale, but it also has a lot of potential."
"I want to expand the arena. I also want to add other games in the arena which will serve as entertainment."
Hearing Jun's words, Elder Wong was stunned for a moment.
What Jun said makes sense.
Based on the popularity of the previous season of Battle Arena, it could be said that it has a lot of potential.
However, just the battle arena isn't enough to satisfy Jun, he wants something bigger.
This led him to the decision to expand the business and introduce the games and sports industry in the arena.
"Shop Owner, what you are thinking about is definitely worth investing in. However, there's only so much you can achieve with your current strength, if you want to achieve your ambitions you need more strength."
Jun nodded, he completely understood Elder Wong's concern.
After all, without enough power, he can not implement any of the ideas he has been thinking about.
"You don't have to worry about that Elder Wong. I have my own plans."
Elder Wong nodded and continued. "Other than strength, we need a large number of talents like array master and beast tamers."
Jun nodded and hinted for Elder Wong to continue.
"Besides that, it's also a concerning matter if there are enough resources to reward the winners of the arena. Other than that, we will also have to think about the games that will take place in the arena."
Jun nodded, he had already thought about the games that would be played in the arena.
They can't be too ordinary, if it's a world filled with immortals and demons then the games should also be related to them.
"What about the spirit boats? How long will it take to prepare them?" Jun asked.
"Don't worry, three spirit boats will be prepared before the beast wave arrives." Elder Wong answered with a smile.
Elder Wong and Jun talked for a while longer, before he went to the second floor of the shop to take a rest.
He opened the status interference to check the status of his tokens and reputation points.
[Tokens: 120]
[Reputation Points: 90]
In these past few days, Jun's avatars have been working hard and sold many talent scrolls.
While Jun was pondering over how to use these tokens, a voice came from the first floor.
"Master, there's someone who wants to meet you." Hua Zhenyi said.
"Alright." Jun didn't slack off and immediately went downstairs to see who came to meet with him.
When he arrived at the door, he saw two young men and a middle-aged man waiting for him.
The two young men were strangers, however, the remaining middle-aged man was someone Jun knew very well, it was Qi Baishi.
"You sure took your sweet time. I thought you would return to your sect." Jun teased in a playful tone.
Qi Baishi smiled awkwardly and shook his head. "Show Owner Jun, you have no idea how much trouble I had to go through just to leave the sect."
"It doesn't matter if you were late. What matters is that you reached your destination."
While conversing with Qi Baishi, Jun's gaze was attracted to the two spirit beasts following behind Qi Baishi.
"Are these your tamed beasts?"
Qi Baishi nodded and introduced the two beasts. "This bird-type beast is Harmony Luan Bird. It has the potential to reach the 7th rank and has the innate ability to cast illusions."
"As for this amphibian-type beast, it's called Absolute Gluttony Frog, it has the potential to reach 6th rank and has the innate ability to devour Qi and spiritual energy."
Qi Baishi introduced his two tamed beasts with a prideful smile.
After hearing Qi Baishi's explanation, Jun was stunned.
Both Harmony Luan Bird and Absolute Gluttony Frog were considered good-quality spirit beasts.
To tame both of them at the same time must have been hard on Qi Baishi.
Wait! Both of them?
"Qi Baishi what's your cultivation now?" Jun was shocked as he realized something.
Qi Baishi smiled and released his aura, it was just as Jun had thought, Qi Baishi actually reached the Foundation Establishment Realm.
What kind of opportunities did he have in the Spirit Moon Cave?
None of that mattered, for now, what mattered was that Jun now has another subordinate in the Foundation Establishment Realm.
While, Jun was chatting happily with Qi Baishi, the other two young men who came with Qi Baishi were silently cursing in their hearts. Damn it! we are here too! Don't just ignore us and give us some face.
