Chapter 130: Flander, Who Is Clearly a Spirit Saint Yet Sells Fakes, Is Trash
"Grandpa is really relaxed, letting me come out alone."
Yu Tianlin strolled along the streets of Soto City, watching the bustling crowds and smiling to himself. This time, Yu Yuanzhen had not arranged any guards to accompany him, which surprised him at first. But after thinking it over, it made perfect sense.
With Yu Tianlin's current strength, he could deal with ordinary troublemakers on his own. If he ran into someone truly dangerous, he could simply bring up the name of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. And if that still wasn't enough, he could rely on the abilities of the Space Saint Dragon Spirit Bone to escape.
That Spirit Bone contained 2 extremely practical Spirit Skills. Neither was meant for offense, but because they involved space, they were terrifying when it came to survival. Unless the opponent also possessed spatial abilities, the moment Yu Tianlin used those Spirit Skills, the other party would have no way to stop him.
Yu Yuanzhen had already asked about the Space Saint Dragon Spirit Bone's 2 Spirit Skills and knew exactly how strong Yu Tianlin's self preservation was. That was why he did not send any guards. With these methods, staying alive was never a problem.
So Yu Tianlin left the clan alone to search for his second uncle, Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Xiaogang should have been in Tiandou City, so logically, Yu Tianlin should have gone there. However, everyone knew Yu Xiaogang would not remain in Tiandou City for long. His next stop would definitely be Soto City, so Yu Tianlin simply came here to wait.
Sure enough, not long after Yu Tianlin left the clan, he received news that Yu Xiaogang had already departed Tiandou City and was heading south. His destination was Soto City.
Yu Xiaogang traveled by carriage, which meant his pace was painfully slow. Yu Tianlin had arrived in Soto City early, while Yu Xiaogang was still a long way off.
Yu Tianlin knew why his second uncle was coming.
Yu Xiaogang's strength was no longer enough to help his disciple, Tang San, obtain Spirit Rings. So he planned to send Tang San to Shrek Academy. The dean of Shrek Academy, Flander, was Yu Xiaogang's close friend, a Spirit Saint. With Flander's help, hunting Spirit Beasts and obtaining Spirit Rings would be much easier in the future.
Since his second uncle was looking for Flander, and Yu Tianlin had arrived early, he naturally wanted to visit Flander first. If Flander spoke from a friend's position, maybe he could persuade Yu Xiaogang not to be so stubborn.
But when Yu Tianlin reached Shrek Academy, he was told the dean was not there.
"What? Senior Flander isn't here?" Yu Tianlin was startled. "He's the dean of Shrek Academy. If he's not at the academy, where else could he be?"
"Who knows where that old guy went?" An elderly man who looked around 60 waved his hand impatiently. "He's probably in Soto City. He runs a shabby little shop there, selling counterfeit junk under the banner of a Spirit Master and scamming those fools."
A Spirit Saint doing that kind of business?
Yu Tianlin was speechless. Still, he asked for the location of Flander's shop and headed into Soto City to find it.
Soto City was the 2nd largest city in the Barak Kingdom, only below the capital. It was a true main city, bustling and prosperous. Shops lined both sides of the street, goods on display in a dazzling variety.
Yu Tianlin had no interest in browsing. He ignored everything and focused on his target.
Before long, he found the shop the old man had mentioned.
The storefront was small and ordinary, but the signboard was eye catching. It was engraved with a sword, a hammer, and a dragon.
Those 3 symbols represented the 3 Upper Sects. Even the Spirit Hall's token carried them.
Every time Yu Tianlin saw those symbols, he felt conflicted. The hammer and the dragon made sense, but the sword was strange. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's inherited Martial Soul was clearly the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. But because of the limitations of their own Martial Soul, they could not cultivate a Title Douluo themselves, so they used Sword Douluo's Seven Kill Sword as their sect's symbol instead.
Yu Tianlin was not from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, so he had no idea what they were thinking. He only found it weird.
But this was not the time to dwell on it.
Yu Tianlin steadied his thoughts and walked into the shop.
The moment he entered, he sensed an unusual Spirit Power fluctuation.
Yu Tianlin was well informed and quickly recognized it. It was the fluctuation of a storage Spirit Tool.
Every storage Spirit Tool had its own unique Spirit Power signature. Before it was bound to an owner, it would continue to leak that signature outward, making it easy for Spirit Masters to sense. Only after binding would that fluctuation be hidden.
Following the faint fluctuation, Yu Tianlin's gaze landed on a wall covered in old looking items. The supposed storage Spirit Tool fluctuations were coming from those objects.
They're all storage Spirit Tools?
Something felt off.
Yu Tianlin stepped closer and examined them carefully. His lips twitched.
Damn it.
Everything on this wall is fake.
Every single one.
Not one of them was a real storage Spirit Tool. And the so called "storage Spirit Tool fluctuation" was being artificially released to make the fakes look real.
If Yu Tianlin had not seen many storage Spirit Tools before and noticed the subtle mismatch, he might have been fooled too. Even he had nearly fallen for it.
If even one of these items had been real, then fine. That would have left room for someone to stumble into a bargain through luck. But a full wall of fakes?
That was not "business."
That was blatant robbery.
It was the first time Yu Tianlin had seen something this shameless, especially from a Spirit Saint.
Unable to hold back anymore, Yu Tianlin spoke coldly, "Senior Flander, isn't it a bit excessive to hang up a wall of counterfeit goods and then use fake Spirit Power fluctuations to mislead buyers?"
Inside the shop, someone had been lying in a recliner with his eyes closed the whole time, swaying slightly. Yu Tianlin had entered, walked around, and examined the wall, yet the man had not reacted at all, as if he did not care whether someone grabbed something and ran.
But the moment Yu Tianlin called him by name and exposed the trick, the man finally opened his eyes.
"You know me." His gaze sharpened. "Who are you?"
