Chapter 146 – The Beginning of the Legend

“Hmm, it’s actually quite clean.”

Calron exclaimed in surprise when he entered the shop and noticed the neat and tidy interior.

Although the outside of the shop was slightly shabby and worn-down, Matias had taken good care of the inside and had kept it clean before leaving.

There were multiple wooden shelves on the sides of the walls and several tables in the middle of the room.

“We don’t have that many items to sell today, so I don’t think we’ll be using the inside of the shop yet. Roran, pick one of the tables over there and bring it outside.”

Calron muttered as he surveyed the shop and gave Roran a task.

“Alright!”

Roran said excitedly as he went over to a nearby table and picked it up. He was very eager to see the debut of their new shop and to see the items that Calron would soon sell today.

“Let’s get this rolling.”

Calron let out a slight smile and proceeded to walk outside the shop.

The people outside continued to roam around the shops, purchasing what they needed and arguing with the vendors about the prices. The whole district was a cacophony of various noises and yells.

*thud*

Roran placed the medium-sized table in front of the shop’s entrance and waited for his brother.

Calron slowly walked behind the table and placed his hands over the edge. “Make sure that no one tries to approach the table and steal any of the tiles. Also, look out for any suspicious people in the background that make an attempt to probe us and our cultivation levels.”

He whispered over to Roran in a quiet voice, to which the muscular youth gave a short and serious nod.

*sha-sha*

In the next moment, a series of small metallic plates appeared on top of the table, each with a trace of golden lightning glimmering inside it. The tiles were around the size of a toddler’s palm, so they were much smaller than the first original tile that Calron had worked with.

After making sure that all the tiles that he had prepared last night were now on the table, Calron faced straight ahead and let out a thundering roar.

“Want to increase your battle strength and speed by more than three times? Want to catch an arrow straight from the air? Want to beat your enemy who is much stronger than you? Then, take one of our God Tiles and fight toe-to-toe against someone with a much higher cultivation than you!”

Almost the entire district stopped within their tracks when they heard the thundering voice, including the vendors. It was simply because Calron had used his essence to amplify his voice and had simultaneously used the Divine Perception’s subtle powers to bring their attention to him.

Following the roar, around a fifth of the people resumed their usual activities, but the vast majority of the shoppers and merchants curiously walked over to Calron’s simple and ordinary-looking table.

“It’s not good to make boastful claims in the market, boy. We all have our businesses to take care of.”

A slender middle-aged woman reproached Calron once she glanced at the plain metal sheets on the table. The woman had thought that Calron was selling a miraculous pill that could boost the combat ability of a cultivator, but after seeing the metal sheets, she quickly became agitated by the intended “scam”.

“This lad must be a greenhorn if he was trying to cheat us with those paltry metal pieces.”

Another pot-bellied man stated in a scornful voice as he started to turn around and walk away.

“If you don’t believe me, then how about testing one? I will let you pick any volunteer from the group here so you know that I am not setting this up.”

Calron answered in a calm voice, unfazed by the accusations thrown at him.

A few more people departed from the gathered group and it seemed like many others were uninterested as well. No one there believed that such a heaven-defying thing could exist, and especially in the hands of a strange boy.

“You have my interest, young man. Let’s see that product of yours.”

The slender middle-aged lady who had first spoken, walked in front of the table and held out her hand.

Interestingly, none of the others objected to the woman taking charge, and they patiently waited to see the results.

Noticing that the gathered group had accepted the woman to take the lead, Calron’s curiosity was piqued, so he went ahead and placed a God Tile on the woman’s outstretched palm.
