Cultivation Pet Shop

When the old man said this, everyone in the shop looked over at him in surprise.

Momonga and Angela looked at this old man like he was crazy.

Lin Fan was already the disciple of a master from the God Realm and this human that was just barely over the line for the Legendary Realm was asking Lin Fan to be his disciple instead?

Wasn't this the biggest joke in the world?

It would be like presenting trash in front of the richest man in the world and claiming it was the best.

As for Lin Fan, he looked at the old man with one brow raised.

Lin Fan could tell that this old man was powerful, he was someone who was at least in the Platinum Realm since Lin Fan couldn't see through him with his Gold Realm cultivation.

But what did that matter in the end?

There were two experts beyond the Legendary Realm already in the store and he had the system that could control laws behind him. Why did he need this Platinum Realm old man to teach him when he could just learn from them and the system?

Still, this old man did have some power on this planet and Lin Fan had no reason to offend him for no reason.

Lin Fan politely said, "This sir, I don't know why you are asking me to be your disciple, but unfortunately I have to decline."

The old man already expected this, but he still didn't give up, "I know that you already have a master and he's probably stronger than me based on the situation of this store, but there are things that I can give you that he can't. Moreover, I'm not that stingy, I'm willing to share a disciple with your master."

The old man knew that any store with two experts who he couldn't see through wasn't simple and then there was the master behind them, however such a store clearly couldn't be a local power. He knew all the local powers and for three Legendary Realm experts to suddenly appear, the only explanation was that it was a force that came from another realm that was on the Blue Star Planet for some reason.

However, he had also done a check on the store and found that Lin Fan was indeed a local of the Blue Star Planet. Lin Fan's entire family came from the Blue Star Planet and still lived here, so that meant that he could use the influence he had on the Blue Star Planet to help them, which would definitely be tempting to Lin Fan.

But what he never expected to happen still happened.

Lin Fan still said, "Sir, I thank you for your kind intentions, but I'm really not looking for a master right now."

The old man still wouldn't give up, "Kid, I know that your master is powerful, but I'm not a slouch either. Moreover, I know that your master is not someone from this planet, so there are plenty of things that I can do that he can't. For example, I am a Legendary Realm Expert affiliated with the Union Government, so there are many things I can help you take care of."

Lin Fan was surprised to hear this. This old man was actually a Legendary Realm Expert!

His mind quickly turned and he remembered Boss Gao telling him that the Union Government was sending a Legendary Realm Expert to close the planar crack, so it was no wonder this old man knew so much about him.

Still Lin Fan had no reason to accept.

Moreover, if he did accept, this old man might start snooping around the store on the pretense that he was his master, which would make it harder for him to keep his secret.

Once again, Lin Fan still rejected the old man, "Sir, I know that you are a powerful expert and have influence, but I am just a small pet shop owner. I'm not qualified to be your disciple."

Yet still the old man didn't give up, "Kid, I can tell that it is fate for us to meet. You are someone with talent that is found once in a thousand years, you need someone to guide you along your way, someone like me. I promise you now that you will be my final disciple and will inherit everything that I own."

The more the old man tried to convince Lin Fan, the more he sounded like a scammer. It soon reached a point where Lin Fan started doubting whether this old man had other motive for wanting him as a disciple.

Still Lin Fan was firm in his rejection, "Sir, I know you mean well, but unfortunately the fate between us isn't there."

The old man came forward to grab Lin Fan's shoulder when Lin Fan turned to go to the back and he squeezed a bit harder than he meant to squeeze, but it felt like he was squeezing steel!

This was a young man in the Gold Realm, yet his body was comparable to the Legendary Realm!

What was this? Just where was he?

Of course, his actions didn't escape the eyes of Momonga and Angela. Lin Fan was the one who brought them to this store and slowly they had become close friends. There was even an ambiguous part in the relationship between Angela and Lin Fan…

Lin Fan felt a bit of pain coming from this shoulder. A Legendary Realm Expert really was a Legendary Realm Expert, he really did have the strength to back it up.

Lin Fan turned and said, "Sir, you are disturbing my business. If you aren't here to buy anything, please leave."

At this, Momonga and Angela were about to come over to help him, but Lin Fan turned and shook his head slightly to stop them.

The old man didn't miss the small actions that Momonga and Angela had taken, so he pulled his hand back. He wasn't here to offend, he just wanted Lin Fan as his disciple and maybe make a connection to the master of this shop.

So the old man's mind quickly turned and he tried to come up with another way to show off to Lin Fan.

Right away, he came up with an idea. Since he couldn't convince Lin Fan with his strength or his status, he could at least try convincing him with money, "Who says I'm not here to buy anything."

After that, he moved over to the special ingredients and read over their description until his eyes fell onto the True Spirit Vine.

An elixir that could increase the intelligence of a pet, this True Spirit Vine was something that he had only seen once in an auction of items from the upper realm, yet he saw one being sold here today.

"Hey, kid, are you serious about selling this thing?" The old man pointed at the True Spirit Vine.

Lin Fan turned to look at what he was pointing and then his eyes lit up as he revealed his usual smile, "Of course, all items on display are for sale."

The old man immediately said, "Are you sure that this is the price you want to sell it at?"

Lin Fan's lips twitched and he said to the system in his mind, "See? Even the customers think that it's too cheap!"

"Host, don't be greedy. First warning."

Lin Fan had no choice since the system had spoken, "Yes, this is the price we're selling it at."

The old man tried to act calm, but there was a trace of excitement in his voice, "I'll take it!"

The old man quickly transferred a million crystals, which Lin Fan couldn't help feeling emotional about. A Legendary Realm Expert really was rich!

Once he received the packed True Spirit Vine, the old man asked again, "Kid, are you sure you don't want to be my disciple?"

Lin Fan just said with a smile, "Sir, I'm sorry, but I really am not interested right now."

Hearing this, the old man just gave a sigh and said nothing else as he walked out.

Once the old man was gone, Angela suddenly asked to take a break and headed out the shop with a strange look on her face.

Lin Fan was curious, but he didn't pry since he respected her privacy.

…

The old man felt someone trailing him after he went out of the shop, so he turned into an alley and waited.

After a minute, Angela suddenly appeared in front of him.

The old man said, "This young miss, aren't you the one from the store? Why are you following me?"

Angela had a slightly angry look on her face as she said, "You hurt him just now, so you deserve to be punished."

The old man had a confused look, "What are you…"

But before he could even finish, he felt a large force come down on him and he was slammed into the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

When he came out of the hole, Angela was gone, but the fear inside him hadn't faded yet.
