The Supreme God of Martial Arts
Chapter 363 The Headquarters of Sky Dragon Elixir Shop (Part One)

The other six elders gazed at Theon curiously.

"The royal family did this in a high profile. They wanted all the tenprinces to compete for the throne. Therefore, they set up competitions.This session of competitions is to test the princes’ ability in cultivatingpopularity and building up their own networks.

The princes will be asked to look for some young talents and have themcompete for a place in the top 50.

When the results come out and the list is finalized, these 50 people willgo into the Mysterious Nether World to look for a kind of spiritual fruit,called the soul-recovering fruit.

If the person chosen by the prince can replace the soul-recovering fruitand bring it out of the Mysterious Nether World, this prince will get thethrone.

"Oh? So the main purpose of holding the Outstanding Talents ExchangeGames is to determine the heir to the throne.

That means all the young talents in Violet Orchid Empire will serve theroyal family by taking part in the competitions and indirectly becontrolled by it!"

an elder remarked angrily.

"Yes. What you said makes sense.

But it's said that in the Mysterious Nether World, there are innumerablevital energy crystals, spiritual elixirs and herbs and various kinds ofsecret martial arts skill formulas. I even heard that there are someSecret Weapons in there which can match the spiritual weapons or eventhe sacred weapons.

Theon, your Secret Weapon, the Eight Diagrams Board you refined isthe one the principal disciple of our sect brought back from theMysterious Nether World a hundred years ago. And have you heard ofthe Giant Magic Palm? Of course you have! It's a level six martial artsskill. But do you know that it was also brought from the MysteriousNether World by the same principal disciple?

That's why the Mysterious Nether World enjoys the reputation of beinga heaven for the cultivators.

I'm sure that these outstanding talents will go there willingly even ifthey know that they are serving the royal family.”

"Yes.

It's true that the Mysterious Nether World has unrivaled attraction forcultivators.”

Many leaders of the Sun Sect nodded in agreement.

"Alas! It's a pity that such an amazing place has been controlled by theroyal family for so many years, while sects like ours can't have a share init. All we can do is watch in envy.

If we can send some young disciples of our Sun Sect to the MysteriousNether World to search for treasures about cultivation whenever theworld opens, I'm sure that the competence of our sect will be improvedseveral folds.

Besides, if our disciples can learn a few more grade six martial arts skillslike Giant Magic Palm, then our sect is going to grow several timesstronger," a female elder whose family name was Li remarkedindignantly with a sigh.

"Absolutely!

But there is nothing we can do.

A hundred years ago, the five major sects in Violet Orchid Empirefought a duel with the cult which calls itself the Ghost Sect.

Although the Ghost Sect was cracked down in the end, our five sectsalso suffered heavy losses, and even till today, we haven't fullyrecovered yet. That's the primary reason why the imperial family hasbecome the dominant power in Violet Orchid Empire.

That is a fact and it is useless to deny that.”

Another elder sighed.

Violet Orchid Empire, the imperial capital city.

Austin walked into a luxurious medicinal material shop which wasstanding gloriously by the side of a business street.

Looking around, he nodded and thought, “The headquarters of SkyDragon Elixir Shop is really huge. It is more than twenty times the sizeof its branch in Peace Town.

And the interior decoration is quite magnificent and expensive, whichmakes the shop appear even more appealing.

Judging by the endless rows of wooden shelves packed with spiritualelixirs and herbs, I am sure that it is a very competent shop. I hope I canbuy all the medicinal materials for cultivating stage four of the OverlordBody-refining Formula,’ Austin muttered to himself. Soon, he came tothe big counter which was made of some expensive purple wood.

He cleared his throat.

Behind the counter, two clerks were sitting, holding a handful of papercards, as if they were playing some sort of game. The suits they worelooked luxurious and expensive and were obviously made from somevery expensive fabric.

Hearing someone approach, they hid the paper cards in a hurry.

In fact, the shop had very strict rules. If the clerks were found playingcards by their supervisor, they wouldn't get their salaries and bonusesfor the month.

It was noon time, so their manager was napping in the resting room.Finding a window of opportunity, they had decided to play.

They rose to their feet immediately, expecting some elite businessman,but only found an ordinary-looking boy in plain clothes standing infront of them. He was so ordinary that nobody would have paid anyattention to him in a crowd.

"Kid, we only sell precious medicinal materials. You can't afford them.So don't waste your time here.”

The two clerks had seen many poor people come here.

What those people wanted were just some low-graded and cheapspiritual elixirs or herbs. Entering the shop, they would only replaceextremely expensive medicinal materials in the shop. Then they wouldleave very soon.

"Oh?"

Austin knew what they meant. “There are so many snobs in the world!"he thought.

Without saying a word, he took out a jade sheet the size of a palm andthrew it on the counter.

"Eee? This is... ?"

The clerks widened their eyes. One of them picked up the jade sheetand looked at it carefully.

"This is

the limited edition VIP card our shop issued!" he shouted in surpriseCustomers who possessed such jade sheets were known to be the keycustomers of the Sky Dragon Elixir Shop. Only people who had spent atleast a million vital energy crystals in their shop were eligible for thiscard.

The two clerks changed their attitude at once and a flattering smileappeared on their faces.

They knew it was easy to get a huge amount of tips from such VIPcustomers if they were pleased. These tips could sometimes even bemore than their annual salary.
