Chapter 141: The Mine is So Large, the Green One Can't Hold It

"Senior Brother, is this another gift for an elder? Do you have Buddhist cultivator elders?" Chen Zi Ya asked curiously.

Lin Guangcheng replied: "No, I just saw that this thing is rarely seen and felt a bit of an affinity for it."

"I casually gave a price, and didn't expect the boss to sell it to me. It must have been priced too high. Forget it, just treat it as buying an antique!"

"Junior Sister, we've been looking since noon, and you've seen quite a few stalls. Why haven't you found anything you like yet?"

Chen Zi Ya smiled lightly: "I just haven't seen anything suitable for the time being. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry; aren't there still half the stalls left?"

"Then while it's still early, let's keep looking!" Lin Guangcheng suggested.

Chen Zi Ya readily agreed, and then the two continued to browse. Soon, over an hour passed, and all the stalls had been browsed.

Except for buying a few beautiful jade hairpins from a female stall owner for a few spirit stones, Chen Zi Ya had no other gains.

But she was still in high spirits from beginning to end. It seems that shopping can indeed make female cultivators feel happy. Thinking about it, it seems his mother and aunt are also like this.

His mother and aunt can occasionally come out to shop, but his younger sister, because her spirit root is too good, is the kind of treasure that is the hope of the whole clan, so she is tightly protected by the Clan Leader, and instead has no freedom at all.

She might not have even come out to browse stalls or eaten various spirit meals from outside until now. What a pitiful little girl! When there is a chance in the future, he must bring her out more to walk around and see; she will definitely be very happy.

Thinking of that little girl who would act like a spoiled child to him, it seems he hasn't seen her for a long time and misses her a bit. After completing this mission, he should try to return to Nine Peaks Mountain as early as possible! But for now, he must take care of what is in front of him. He put the dozen or so spirit medicines that could be replanted, which he had harvested from browsing the stalls, together with the spirit medicines harvested earlier, waiting for a chance to plant them in the space.

Since the stalls had all been swept clean and the time was about right.

Lin Guangcheng asked Chen Zi Ya: "Junior Sister, the stalls are all browsed. Is there anywhere else you want to go take a look?"

Chen Zi Ya shook her head: "I don't have anywhere I want to go. For the remaining time, Senior Brother can arrange it."

"That's good. Follow me; I'll take you to a place you definitely haven't been to before."

After saying this, he led Chen Zi Ya back. The Gambling Stone Workshop he had seen earlier was on the way back to the inn.

As soon as the two walked into the Gambling Stone Workshop, a clerk immediately came up to greet them. This time, Lin Guangcheng did not refuse the clerk's service.

He instructed the clerk of the Gambling Stone Workshop: "Introduce the various rules of the Gambling Stone Workshop to my Junior Sister in detail. This is her first time here; introduce everything there is."

The clerk hurriedly agreed and promised to introduce everything in detail.

Lin Guangcheng turned to Chen Zi Ya and said: "Junior Sister, take a look and understand first; don't make any moves casually."

"If you see any raw stones you like, let's discuss it before buying. I'll look around and will come back to find you soon."

Chen Zi Ya had heard of the Gambling Stone Workshop long ago, but she didn't expect Lin Guangcheng to bring her here this time. However, since they were here, she would look around and understand it; treat it as broadening her horizons!

Hearing Lin Guangcheng's words, she nodded to show she understood. Subsequently, the clerk began to enthusiastically introduce the various rules of the Gambling Stone Workshop to her.

Lin Guangcheng, on the other hand, began to walk around the Gambling Stone Workshop. The strength of this Gambling Stone Workshop should be quite solid; at the very least, it occupied a large area, the space inside was spacious enough, raw stones were everywhere on the ground, and quite a few were piled up in the corners of the walls.

Because it was already evening, there were basically no guests inside the Gambling Stone Workshop, which made Lin Guangcheng much more satisfied.

Now Lin Guangcheng would keep a low profile as much as possible to avoid attracting unnecessary trouble.

He spent some time looking at all the raw stones in the middle of the Gambling Stone Workshop, but not a single one emitted an aura. Now he could only start looking in the piles of raw stones stacked in the corners of the walls.

Fortunately, his luck was still good. Not long after, in the pile of raw stones in the corner, Lin Guangcheng found a clue through careful observation. Only after confirming three times that there was no mistake did Lin Guangcheng walk over.

Because he only saw a tiny bit of red aura, only a very small part of the raw stone emitting the aura was exposed. Lin Guangcheng could only move the raw stones on top of it himself. Unexpectedly, the more he cleared, the more excited he became; this was actually a giant raw stone.

The raw stone that had yielded two hundred high-grade spirit stones last time was just a little brother compared to this one.

This giant was at least two or three times larger than the one last time; visually, it must weigh over a thousand catties.

Although the Thunder True Scripture had the effect of body refining, he had only opened six acupoints now, which couldn't even be considered minor accomplishment. Lin Guangcheng estimated that he only had the strength of about five or six hundred catties.

He definitely couldn't move this piece by himself. He summoned a clerk and told him he had taken a fancy to this piece, asking him to call the boss over.

Fearing omissions, he scanned the area again and picked out another raw stone from this pile that looked pleasing to the eye and was of suitable size. There were two in total; the small one was used as cover.

Soon, the clerk led the boss over. After some exchange, the boss collected 3,200 spirit stones from Lin Guangcheng for the two raw stones, and the small one was given to Lin Guangcheng as a gift.

However, this price was really not cheap; it could buy two or three low-grade spiritual artifacts or one medium-grade spiritual artifact.

After paying the spirit stones, the boss was all smiles after closing this deal. He estimated that he had made quite a lot from this stone!

But Lin Guangcheng definitely earned more than him, so he decided to quit while he was ahead.

He refused the boss's offer to help open the stones, saying he wanted to take them back and open them slowly. Then, the three of them—the boss, the clerk, and himself—worked together to lift the big guy and put it into Lin Guangcheng's storage bag.

The commotion here was so big that Chen Zi Ya had already noticed it and walked over with the clerk.

"Senior Brother, did you pick out the raw stones so quickly?" Chen Zi Ya came over and asked.

Lin Guangcheng's mood was now explosive. If the occasion hadn't been wrong, he would have wanted to shout a few times.

"Yeah, I saw two that were particularly pleasing to the eye, so I couldn't help but take them. Did you see any suitable ones? Let me take a look for you!"

Chen Zi Ya nodded. The clerk behind her was holding a raw stone the size of two heads; this should be the raw stone Chen Zi Ya had chosen.

Lin Guangcheng took it and looked at it. It was heavy. To be honest, he didn't understand raw stones either, but he still had to study it with a show of pretense, and then nodded, which counted as approving Chen Zi Ya's choice.

It just so happened that the boss was also here, so Lin Guangcheng said to him: "Boss, you have to make this one cheaper. We've bought quite a lot. If it's not cheap, we won't come next time!"

The boss laughed, took the raw stone and weighed it, and said: "This was originally three hundred and eighty spirit stones. Now I'll make it thirty cheaper for you, charging you three hundred and fifty spirit stones. How about it? Is that okay?"

Lin Guangcheng thought for a moment. It wasn't much different from his estimate, so he nodded, which counted as agreeing to the price.

Seeing that Lin Guangcheng had already negotiated the price with the boss, Chen Zi Ya also paid the spirit stones decisively.

Seeing Chen Zi Ya pay the spirit stones, Lin Guangcheng smiled lightly: "Junior Sister, do you want to open it on the spot and see how your luck is? Or, like me, take the raw stone back and open it slowly when you have time, just as a pastime."

Chen Zi Ya thought for a moment and said: "Let's do the same as Senior Brother; I'll open it slowly when I have time."

Lin Guangcheng nodded. This was also good. Subsequently, remembering something, he said to the boss: "Boss, sell us two dharma artifacts for opening raw stones! Otherwise, it's troublesome without these professional tools!"

The boss readily agreed. Lin Guangcheng paid twenty spirit stones, got two dharma artifacts for opening raw stones, and gave one to Chen Zi Ya.

After the two put away their things, they bid farewell and left.
