Chương 6: Scram
Next day,
Ye Xian went to Numinous Association after finishing his breakfast. Even though the pearl city's Numinous Association is considered small no one would be fool enough to offend or provoke it. The reason is every Numinous Association around the continent is directly connected under the orders of the Headquarters.
Pearl City's Numinous Association was situated in the center of the city. Ye Xian was able to see a three-storied building even from a distance.
When he entered the Association's hall, he saw many peoples inside the hall it was no surprise to Ye Xian. Because if one wanted to purchase things like Elixir, pills, herbs, weapons, Array Plates or any other treasures, the Numinous association is the best place.
So it's an important place for both Divine and spirit way cultivators. The hall is divided into many sections like Herb section, weapon section... etc. Since Ye Xian wanted to buy a herb he directly walked towards the Herb section counter.
A Middle-aged lady around 40 years of age stood behind the counter, she was tall, dark skinned with curly brown hair. Everyone can guess she was a beauty when she was in her prime age.
Ye Xian walked near the lady behind the counter and said: "I want to buy a herb."
The middle-aged lady looked at Ye Xian and asked in a sweet voice, "What kind of herb you need?"
"My teacher called it a White-lined clover its appearance will be as that of a three-leafed clover with a white line in its surface."
"White-lined cover?. We don't have any records or herbs named like that but your description matches with one of the Grade one herb called as Silver shine clover."
"Oh, then please show me that herb, maybe that's the herb I am seeking." The middle-aged lady showed him the picture of the herb, with one look Ye Xian confirmed, it's the herb he was looking for.
"How much is the price?"
"It's 2 gold coins."
Ye Xian was not surprised by the cost of the herb if the herb or medicine level reaches grade one, then their price will also be higher. One gold coin is equal to 1000 silvers so Ye Xian purchased 2 white lined clover for a total of 4000 silver.
After thanking the lady, Ye Xian walked towards the exit. When he came out of the Association door, he heard a surprised and scornful voice behind him,
"Oh, Look who it is, the young city lord, and the cultivation genius, Ye Xian."
Even without looking back, Ye Xian know who it is. When he turned around, he saw a young man around 18 years of age wearing luxurious silk clothes while a mocking look is evident on his face.
Bi Jen is the son of Bi family's patriarch and always jealous of Ye Xian's talent. When he first heard the news that Ye Xian was crippled there is no one in the city, who would have been happier than him, on that day.
Behind him, stood a middle-aged man around 40 years of age with a tiger-scar on his face. When Ye Xian probed using his spirit energy, he discovered the middle-aged man is at Level 9 of the Mortal Realm.
In Pearl city, three families covet the position of city lord; they are Bi, Hal and Jan family. But there is also a neutral family called Ros family.
"Young master Bi Jen, long time no see. I heard, recently, you were trying very hard to break through to Level 5. Need any help?" Ye Xian smilingly asked.
"You..." After hearing Ye Xian's words, he was fully enraged because the words hit sore part of his heart and also surprised that always silent and weak Ye Xian spoke back.
"Ye Xian, you got guts. Don't think, I won't beat you up; even if you are the son of city lord..." Halfway through his word, he stopped because he saw Ye Xian is currently sprinting towards him with full force.
Before he could react, a palm hit him in his left cheek. Unable to withstand the palm force, he was sent flying 5 meters back while 2 teeth's flow out from his mouth with a little bit of blood.
His left cheek was fully swollen with a drop of blood in his lips. He couldn't believe he got slapped by a cripple and that too he wasn't able to block it in front of the watching crowd. This is the greatest humiliation of his life.
"Uncle Wen, Kill that bastard" Bi Jen yelled at the Middle-aged man behind him who was also equally surprised, he was Bi Jen's bodyguard and his full name is Bi Wen.
"Boy, how dare you harm our family's young master. I will teach you a lesson in place of your father; Even though I can't kill you, I can break your legs and hands."
"You are not even worthy to clean my shoes much less teach me." Ye Xian glanced at Bi Wen and calmly said. Meanwhile, his spirit energy quickly materialized, transformed into that of a needle and aimed at Bi Wen.
Unknowing about the sharp needle aiming at him, Bi Wen charged at Ye Xian with a cold and sinister look. Bi Wen didn't even execute any skills because he was confident in his strength that he will be able to break the cripple's hands and legs without any skills.
Contrary to his expectation, Ye Xian calmly stood in his same spot faced by the attack of Level 9 mortal realm expert. He thought, the young man will at-least retaliate or run to save his life but looks like he got it wrong. 'Well, as expected of the son of city lord'
Ye Xian shot the spirit needle with full force when Bi Wen was just 30cm away from him. It directly pierced Bi Wen's head who don't even know any defensive skill against soul attack.
Bi Wen stopped before Ye Xian as he directly fell on the ground while a soul-piercing pain assaulted him, clutching his head with both hands, he screamed with all his might hoping the pain will go away.
'Aahhhh'
But it didn't ease his pain, he was just a Mortal realm practitioner if it was soul realm practitioner they would have been able to block one or two soul attacks.
Ye Xian calmly walked towards Bi Wen with an emotionless face, who was rolling and twitching uncontrollably on the ground.
Everyone in the surrounding area already circled around to watch the commotion but it was beyond their expectation.
Ye Xian lifted the Bi Wen from the ground. Everyone in the surroundings believed, the young man is going to help. But contrary to their expectation, Ye Xian broke the Bi Wen's hand without any mercy, next his other hand, then his both legs, he did what Bi Wen told him.
The surroundings people paled with fright watching the ruthless scene, they unconsciously took two steps back in fear.
Bi Jen, who was watching everything from distance trembled with fear. He didn't shrink away, it's not like he doesn't want to run way but he was afraid of running away.
"Scram"
Suddenly, an invincible mental pressure descended upon him while he heard Ye Xian's cold voice with bone chilling look which scared the shit out of him. He knows if he doesn't scram, Ye Xian will beat him until he cries out his mother and father's name so without any further thought he ran away; He didn't even spare a glance at Bi Wen who was lying on the ground, unconscious.
Under the gaze of surrounding peoples, Ye Xian walked away, towards his mansion. Since he collected every herb needed to concoct the elixir, his next step is to increase his cultivation level as fast as possible. Otherwise, he won't be able to join any top grade academies

The third floor of the Numinous Association,
"I didn't expect to meet a young genius with such spirit energy in a remote city. Mo Kong, what you know about this boy?" An elderly man, with black and white hair, around 50 years of age is sitting near the window with a glass of wine on his hand, watching the back of Ye Xian, who was currently walking towards his Mansion.
He was wearing a dark blue robe with a golden circle symbol printed on his back like that of a sun, surprisingly there are no wrinkles on his beardy face. His deep blue eyes are calm as an ocean, twinkling.
"He's the son of current city lord of pearl city, Ye Xian. I know him because I visited him a few years back by the request of his father to cure his poison; Even though I cured the poison, his human nodes are damaged."
"At that time, his body didn't have any trace of spirit energy but after seeing him today, I was equally shocked as much as you, Teacher" replied a Middle aged man around 40 years of age, wearing the same designed robe like that of the Elderly man.
"Nodes are damaged? Interesting. Well, If there's fate, I will meet him in the future."
