Chapter 53 Night Visit
At night, Lin Shan practiced cross-legged in the house.
After chatting with Taishang Elder and Huang Xianshi for a while during the day, I had a general understanding of the casual cultivators in the capital and Yichuanfang City. Now I just sit back and wait for tomorrow to meet the monks that Master Huang Xian mentioned.
Master Huang Xian told him that before each departure, there would be an exchange meeting within the small circle.
That is, each monk will take out the things he doesn't need and exchange them with other monks, or buy them with spiritual stones. The purpose is to enhance their respective strength or financial resources before going to Yichuan.
After all, on the way to Yichuan, these casual practitioners in the early and middle stages of Qi training can easily become the targets of robbery.
What worries Lin Shan is that he lacks spiritual stones and has no idle treasures.
If you insist, you can take out the Nuanyang Jade Pendant presented by Lei Zhenzi, but after all, it is a low-level weapon refining material, and I don’t know if anyone wants it.
As for the Purple Spirit Fruit Core and the remains of the Soul Wooden Fish, these things are definitely worth a lot of money. No matter what, we have to find a big buyer in Xiuxianfang City.
The most urgent thing for me now is that I need some powerful spells, magic weapons, or talismans. He always felt that the trip to Yichuan might not go smoothly.
……
Around midnight, there was a knock on the door outside the house.
"Come in!"
"Squeak~"
The door was pushed open, and the person who came in was Supreme Elder Nightingale.
Lin Shan finished his work and opened his eyes, "I don't know why the elder came here late at night."
The Supreme Elder closed the door, sat down opposite Lin Shan, shook his eyebrows, pushed a three-foot-long brocade box in front of Lin Shan, and said with a smile:
"Master Lin, I am here to ask you for a favor."
Lin Shan didn't look at what was inside the brocade box. The Supreme Elder didn't come to the Three Treasures Hall for anything, so it must be an important event. As for why he didn't say anything during the day, he probably wanted to avoid Master Huang Xian.
"It's not about inviting me to be a worshiper, right? Lin is still young and wants to go to Yichuanfang City to broaden his horizons. I'm afraid I won't be able to do it for the time being. But maybe I won't be able to survive there in the future, so I have to ask the great elder to take him in!" ”
Lin Shan didn't say anything too serious, leaving a way out for himself.
The Supreme Elder chuckled and didn't mind at all that Lin Shan was using him as a spare tire. Anyway, he was determined in his heart that Lin Shan would have to come back sooner or later.
Young people will never come back without experiencing severe beatings from society. I have already seen through everything!
However, the Supreme Elder did not tell the truth and just tapped the brocade box with his hand.
"Let's not mention the offerings for now. Don't worry, little friend, the door to Nightingale will always be open for you. I came here tonight to ask for something else, so little friends, you can open it first and take a look!"
Lin Shan opened the brocade box according to words, and the next second his face was replaced by various colors.
In the three-foot-long brocade box, the colorful spiritual stones are neatly placed, dazzling and colorful, shining brightly in the wooden house illuminated by the oil lamp.
Roughly counting, there are a total of forty or fifty with different attributes!
"Hoo!"
Lin Shan's breathing became heavy immediately. He had never seen so many spiritual stones in his life! Is Nightingale so rich?
Thoughts flashed in his mind. After about five breaths, Lin Shan forced himself to look away and did not touch the spiritual stone in the box. Instead, he asked the Supreme Elder: "Can you tell me what happened first?"
The Supreme Elder smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. I just want Master Lin to buy something for me in Yichuan. As long as I can bring it back safely by then, the remaining spiritual stones will be given to Master Lin."< br>
"What?"
"Innate Zhu Guo!"
Lin Shan was surprised. Could it be that the Supreme Elder knew some clues?
The Supreme Elder pointedly said: "I know that some time ago, there was an innate red fruit in the land of Jingxiang. I think it was Master Lin who got it. If Master Lin is willing to give up, I will give up these 50 spiritual stones." Presented! ”
"It's a pity that I have already used it." Lin Shan shook his head. If he had known that Zhu Guo could be exchanged for 50 spiritual stones, he might have hesitated. However, it seems that the Supreme Elder also knows clues about other Zhu Guo.
"It doesn't matter." The Supreme Elder nodded, looking like he had expected it.
"I have been searching for relevant information for decades and learned that the wild red fruits in the world are hidden in the mountains and swamps. Most of them are difficult to find. However, some large cultivators or families have spiritual fields to cultivate them to this day."
"Some large shops in Yichuan have more or less the shadow of immortal cultivating forces behind them. And Baibao Pavilion has stocks of innate red fruits. According to some monks, this kind of ordinary spiritual objects and low-level magic The weapon is almost the same, and it can be obtained with about 30 spirit stones.”
"It's a pity that I am a mortal and am not a monk and cannot enter Xiuxianfang City, so I can only ask Immortal Master Lin to do it for me."
Lin Shan was thoughtful after listening and had some understanding of the basic prices in the world of cultivation. But when it comes to choosing the Immortal Master for purchasing on behalf of others, logically speaking, it shouldn't be his turn.
"Why didn't the elder find Master Huang Xian? After all, we have known each other for more than 20 years, and I am new here. How can He De gain such trust?" Lin Shan asked doubts.
Speaking of Master Huangxian, the Supreme Elder looked helpless:
"Master Huang Xian's cultivation level is too low, and he has never left the capital since he came back twenty years ago. This time his deadline is approaching, and he decided to take the risk to prepare for some funeral arrangements. Whether he can come back is still a matter of doubt."
The implication is that I feel unsafe.
In addition, the elder Taishang shook his head: "Master Huang likes to be smart, otherwise why would he be defrauded by borrowing money at usury? It's not because of his greed! Huh! A dignified immortal cultivator is treated as a slave, how dare I entrust him to it?"
Hearing this, Lin Shan understood that Master Huang Xian was really not a worry-free person, and he probably wouldn't have dared to entrust him to him.
At the same time, I couldn't help but start to mutter in my heart, if Master Huang Xian is so unreliable, how can his small circle of monks be unreliable too! If we go to Yichuan together then, nothing will happen.
The two discussed for a long time again at night, and Lin Shan still took over the 50 spiritual stones.
Anyway, it's a convenient thing, a business that makes a net profit of 20 spirit stones. If you don't do it, it will be in vain.
As for what the Supreme Elder wanted to do with the Xiantian Zhuguo, Lin Shan didn't bother to ask. How to deal with it was his own business.
Finally, Lin Shan entrusted Elder Taishang to use the Nightingale channel to help him find out if there was any news that a certain prince or noble in the capital had brought back a giant black lotus Buddha statue from Zangqi County in southern Xinjiang in the past two years.
The Supreme Elder easily agreed and claimed to inform him as soon as there was any news.
……
On the second day, Lin Shan went to find Master Huang Xian early.
The disheveled old man walked out with his maid in his arms. He reluctantly dressed up decently, and then left the Nightingale headquarters with Lin Shan.
The streets outside Bowang Houfu were crowded with people. The morning market in the Imperial Capital of the Song Dynasty also opened relatively early. Countless people in the city began their hard work for the day.
Along the way, Lin Shan asked curiously whether Master Huang Xian, who was almost a hundred years old, was still so powerful. Master Huang Xian hesitated and talked about him.
At this time, four people had been waiting for a long time in the private room on the top floor of a teahouse in the south of Bianliang City.
One of the old men in green robes was chatting and laughing with the people around him: "That old man Huang of Nightingale is finally willing to come out this time. I don't know what he has eaten to dare to return to Yichuan! Didn't he have a psychological shadow from being tricked back then? ”
Another middle-aged woman who looked like a Taoist nun in black robe covered her mouth and said with a smile: "I heard what Old Man Huang said in the transmission notes. This time I followed a young man who is in the middle stage of Qi training. I think this is his support."
< br>
"Hmph!" A middle-aged man with a hooked nose put down the tea cup next to him, "Old Man Huang has accumulated hundreds of spiritual stones in the past twenty years! His cultivation level is so low, he is not afraid of being treated as a fat sheep. , let people stop halfway!”
The old man in green robe next to him smiled strangely, and the Taoist nun in black robe was also thoughtful.
Finally, there was a man wearing a bamboo hat who said nothing and just listened to their chat quietly.
……
Half an hour later, Master Huang Xian led Lin Shan into the teahouse.
