Chapter 149: Made a Small Fortune

Early the next morning, Lin Guangcheng finished his basic cultivation and was considering whether to go to the next room to find Chen Zi Ya.

Unexpectedly, someone touched the restriction on Lin Guangcheng's door. He thought it was Chen Zi Ya coming to find him. He opened the door and saw a young male cultivator, but Lin Guangcheng didn't recognize this person.

Lin Guangcheng was a bit surprised, so he asked directly: "Fellow Daoist, who are you looking for? Is there something wrong?"

The young cultivator said embarrassedly: "Fellow Daoist, sorry for the intrusion, please forgive me. I am a guest living in Room Jia-14 next to you."

"I came to ask if you are going to Danyang Market later or tomorrow, and if we can go together. I'm afraid of something happening if I go alone."

As soon as Lin Guangcheng heard it was for this matter, he hurriedly shook his head: "Sorry, Fellow Daoist, I have a female companion traveling with me, so it's not very convenient. You can go ask someone else."

The young cultivator was a bit disappointed when he heard Lin Guangcheng refuse his request. He said "Oh!" and then bid farewell to Lin Guangcheng and left.

Then he was about to touch the restriction on Chen Zi Ya's door. Lin Guangcheng hurriedly stopped him.

"Fellow Daoist, try another one. This is where my companion lives; it's not convenient for you to disturb her."

The young cultivator was helpless, nodded without saying anything, and left directly. Being disturbed by him like this, Lin Guangcheng simply touched the restriction on Room Jia-16 himself to find Chen Zi Ya to drink tea and chat.

The two sat opposite each other. After enjoying Chen Zi Ya's tea art, the two sipped the fragrant tea slowly, and Lin Guangcheng told Chen Zi Ya about what had just happened at the door.

Chen Zi Ya asked curiously: "Who is that young cultivator? Could he have some purpose and come to inquire about news?"

Lin Guangcheng smiled lightly: "Junior Sister, you are quite alert now. It seems that you have learned from experience. You have made great progress! However, this person doesn't look like a robber to me; he looks more like a young master of a noble family who has come out for the first time. He didn't have any other excessive expressions after being rejected by me twice, so his quality is still okay."

Chen Zi Ya was a little proud when she heard Lin Guangcheng praise her for being alert. After all, she had experienced life and death, so she still had a little bit of progress.

"Then what are Senior Brother's plans? The guest ship will arrive at the landing field of Danyang Prefecture this evening. Should we rush to Danyang Market immediately?"

Lin Guangcheng thought for a moment and agreed: "This suggestion from Junior Sister is good. This time, as soon as the guest ship lands, we will head straight to Danyang Market."

"That young cultivator who came to knock on the door, since he is afraid that the road is not safe, he definitely won't go to Danyang Market so late, so we can just avoid these troubles."

Chen Zi Ya was even more proud when she heard Lin Guangcheng agree with her suggestion, beaming with joy. Seeing her so happy, Lin Guangcheng decided to let her continue to be happy.

He took out four storage bags and explained: "These are the storage bags of those few robbers. There were five originally, but Xu Meiniang's storage bag was returned to her, so only four are left here now. Let's see if there is anything suitable for you."

Chen Zi Ya refused: "These are all Senior Brother's spoils of war; how can Little Sister want them?"

Lin Guangcheng smiled: "I estimate there is nothing good. Then Junior Sister, just treat it as helping me organize them. Anyway, there is nothing to do now."

Lin Guangcheng said this, and Chen Zi Ya readily agreed. Two of them had already been refined by Lin Guangcheng, so he poured out the things inside directly.

He refined the remaining two storage bags together with Chen Zi Ya, and soon finished. He also poured all the things on the ground.

They began to organize them by category. It didn't take long to complete. There were about twenty-three thousand low-grade spirit stones in total, and seven medium-grade spirit stones.

Among them, Wang Youzong alone contributed about fifteen thousand low-grade spirit stones. Sure enough, alchemists have the most spirit stones, although his alchemy skills are not very good! But he was much better than the others.

There were fifteen medium-to-high-grade offensive and defensive dharma artifacts in total, all of which were relatively well-preserved. After all, the battle didn't last long, so the consumption of dharma artifacts wasn't great. There were no low-grade dharma artifacts found; it seemed they didn't look down on them either.

These dharma artifacts also included that God-Breaking Crossbow dharma artifact and a first-grade top-grade metal-attribute flying sword.

This top-grade metal-attribute flying sword should be Lu Xinyi's brother's; it was obtained from that cave abode, which Lu Xinyi had mentioned.

Seeing this, Lin Guangcheng said to Chen Zi Ya: "Junior Sister, why don't you take this God-Breaking Crossbow for self-defense? I see its power is quite great. If you don't have a few layers of defensive talismans or defensive dharma artifacts on you, you'll probably fall in one hit."

"It's just that it consumes medium-grade spirit stones; this thing needs a medium-grade spirit stone for one hit. Ordinary cultivators really can't afford it!" Seeing Chen Zi Ya hesitate, Lin Guangcheng added: "Didn't I also take the Small Five Elements Illusion Array array disk you gave me?"

"And if you encounter any situation in the future, you can also use this God-Breaking Crossbow to support me!"

Chen Zi Ya nodded, took the God-Breaking Crossbow dharma artifact, and thanked Lin Guangcheng: "Thank you, Senior Brother. Little Sister will accept it without being modest."

Lin Guangcheng smiled: "That's right!"

Next were clothes, sundries, and some daily necessities. These were all packed in a storage bag, waiting to be dealt with together when there was time in the future.

Two or three cultivation manuals and practice notes, but they were all common cultivation methods widely available outside. Take them back to the clan to see if anyone wants to cultivate them.

Lin Guangcheng had already collected the two cultivation manuals and practice notes of the Lu brothers a few days ago.

Unexpectedly, there was a second-stage legacy of an alchemist inside, but the pill formulas recorded inside were not many; there were only eight types of first-stage pill formulas.

As for the second-stage pill formulas, Lin Guangcheng looked specifically and found only three common ones: Gathering Essence Pill, Returning Yang Pill, and Returning Essence Pill. They were all upgraded versions of first-stage pills: Qi Gathering Pill, Spring Return Pill, and Qi Recovery Pill.

Lin Guangcheng was quite disappointed. They were of no use to him at all, and the content wasn't even as complete as the clan's!

This second-stage alchemist legacy was simply incomplete, but for scattered cultivators, it should be considered relatively rare.

Matching the alchemy legacy was also a first-grade top-grade alchemy furnace, which Lin Guangcheng had put away first. He would be able to use it if he wanted to learn alchemy in the future.

He was glad again that he hadn't been soft-hearted last time and spared that Wang Youzong. It was indeed the most correct decision; otherwise, it would have been a waste of his precious spirit medicines and spirit plants.

Finally, there was a pile of jade boxes, about one hundred and fifty or sixty. He and Chen Zi Ya each opened a pile. Many of the jade boxes were empty.

In the end, only forty-five spirit medicines were opened, of which only twenty-two could be replanted, and most of them were already in Lin Guangcheng's space.

The only gain might be a seedling of the Exquisite Fruit. This thing was somewhat similar to grapes and was also a twining vine-type spirit plant. Its grade wasn't too high, just barely entering the grade, barely counting as a first-grade low-grade spirit plant.

Lin Guangcheng liked to eat it the most. He could even eat it as ordinary fruit in his spare time. Eating a large bunch was equivalent to the spiritual energy content of one low-grade spirit peach. After planting more in the space in the future, he could also let Xu Meiniang brew it into Exquisite Fruit Wine.

By the way, remember to buy some tools for brewing wine when you reach Danyang Market. At the very least, those large sealed containers for brewing wine must be available.

After testing Xu Meiniang a few more times and confirming there were no problems, let her enter the space. Always letting people stay in the spirit beast bracelet wasn't a long-term solution.

Of course, that robber leader Lu Xinyi was an exception; Lin Guangcheng didn't treat him as a human.

Besides, he still had to treat her spiritual injuries. It was better to put her in the space before treating her.

After sorting all kinds of things into different storage bags, the spoils of war this time were handled.

The two started drinking tea and chatting again. After finishing this pot of spirit tea, Lin Guangcheng prepared to bid farewell and return.

Just as he was about to go out, Lin Guangcheng instructed Chen Zi Ya again: "Junior Sister, remember to refine that God-Breaking Crossbow first. You might use it at any time; don't forget."

Chen Zi Ya heard this and smiled, agreeing: "I know, Senior Brother! I'll refine it later and guarantee it can be used at any time."

Lin Guangcheng also laughed and didn't say anything else, officially bidding farewell and leaving.

Chen Zi Ya heard this, smiled, and promised, "Understood, Senior Brother! I will finish refining it in a moment; I guarantee it will be ready to use at any time."

Lin Zhangqing also laughed, said nothing more, and formally took his leave.
