Novel Full Chapter 644 - Destiny
"But where is this successor now?" Matilda asked. She was, too, aware of what kind of worth Feng Lin's legacy hold. After all, Feng Lin was the strongest universal law in the past and it had been undisputed since time immemorial. As a matter of fact, he was also as old as time, making him the oldest existence of the world along with time.
Just imagine the dao arts, grand daos, experience, and knowledge his legacy had. It made the whole world crazy to find it!
"I don't know. I just sensed his appearance in this world." The old man said coldly, "But if it's me, I will be going to the empire where the origin of my legacy is."
"The Phoenix Empire?" Matilda had a sudden realization. Indeed, this was a new world and the successor would try to familiarize himself starting with where the legacy started, "However, it is very far from here. How can we reach that place?"
"Don't worry. I have prepared in case this will happen." The old man smiled, revealing his golden teeth again, "For sure, the other empires will hasten themselves as the others have also felt Feng Lin's successor. I think it's now time to devour Phoenix Empire whole and its successor."
Now that Phoenix Empire was no longer a headless chicken upon the arrival of the successor, they had to move quickly so that the empire wouldn't rise back from being so down.

Jin Rou and Mrs. Lei had finally arrived in the Imperial Capital after several hours. It was already night yet many street stores were still open. Jin Rou was casually looking at the items laid down by each street stores lining up neatly in a vertical line.
Although there were so many fake and imitation items here, there were also a couple to few real items. However, it would take good eyes to discover them as they were buried deep within the fake ones.
After strolling the business park, Jin Rou's attention was suddenly caught by a certain store with exquisite design. It was two storey building with modern designs, with tons of jewelries embedded on the plaque.
Destiny. It was the name of the store. Jin Rou decided to enter the place to satisfy his curiosity.
And what met him was a grand atmosphere with tons of treasures on display. Treasures like scrolls, swords, bows and arrows, etc. You could actually see anything you want here.
"Young Master, this is a Destiny store. And they boast a high recommendation rate among the nobles and other empires. This is their main branch here. And although it appears only a two-floor building, it is much larger than you can expect." Mrs. Lei briefed Jin Rou some knowledge of the store.
If you want quality items, you have to visit Destiny. Although their prices were so high that you might vomit blood, the quality was very assured. As a matter of fact, you can request an item from them and if they didn't have it, they would get it for you. The price depended on how hard the item was to get.
Moreover, legends stated that Destiny's founder was an old friend of the late Feng Lin thus the main branch was here in Phoenix Empire.
"Hello, Esteemed Customers. Welcome to Destiny's main branch store!" Out of nowhere, a clerk with a clean appearance appeared with his hands clasped, "You can call me Brother Lee. How may I help you?"
"Uh..." Mrs. Lei didn't know what to say. Were they here to buy? She had no money and she didn't think Jin Rou would have it, too.
"Show me your best scrolls." Jin Rou ordered Brother Lee.
"Of course!" Brother Lee didn't hesitate and brought the two into the scroll section. Then, he pulled three shining scrolls that excluding an ancient aura and explained, "These are the three best scrolls we have in the first floor. Buddha Ancient Scroll, Lightning Hand Scroll, and Godslayer Ancient Scroll."
He paused for a moment and continued, "Their uses are already described in it so you can look for it yourself."
Mrs. Lei gasped in shock as she saw the prices. The cheapest, Lighting Hand Scroll, was priced at a fixed 20,000 Dao Stones! Take note, even his late son who was working as a soldier in the best troop of Newgate Kingdom only earned as much as 2,000 Dao Stones per month.
Meanwhile, the two other ancient scrolls were at the price of 45,000 Dao Stones, more than twice of the price of the previous scroll!
Jin Rou wasn't surprised that it was expensive. However, he shook his head and said, "I said the best scrolls you have, not in this floor. For sure, you have it right?"
"This..." Brother Lee revealed an awkward expression, "Brother, it is not that I don't want to show it to you, but that floor is only for VIPs. To acquire a VIP card, you have to have a total purchase of at least 500,000 Dao Stones in our store."
What a ripoff. Jin Rou almost sneered. He had no Dao Stones in his hand right now and was planning to exchange it with some items. However, he doubted that he could get a vip card here.
"Hmph, acting cool when you are poor." Suddenly, a mocking voice echoed the floor. Everyone except Jin Rou turned into that person. He was a young man with a colorful robe. His chin was held high as he looked at Jin Rou filled with disgust, "You cannot even afford these scrolls yet you want to see the best items only VIPs have the right? You must be dreaming. Day dreaming."
His words were poisonous enough to earn a crease from Mrs. Lei. She knew this arrogant man as he had so many victims in the past.
"Young Master Andrei, you have come." Brother Lee had no choice but to switch to the arrogant man. He had to pacify this young master so that he couldn't cause more trouble.
"Of course." Young Master Andrei smiled as he was welcomed by Brother Lee, "I have my father's VIP card now so I can now buy that item, right?"
