Chapter 192: Two Birds with One Stone, Cleaning Up the Tail

Seeing him leave angrily, the stall owner thought he had taken a big advantage and felt extremely refreshed in his heart.

It was even happier than earning 1,000 spirit stones; he felt as if he had won a great battle.

Little did he know that the treasure had been forced onto someone else by himself, and he was still there feeling smug.

As for Lin Zhangqing, he was on his way back to the inn. Although he looked angry on the surface, he was already blooming with joy in his heart.

Although he didn't know what this thing was used for yet, buying a halo item marked by the Innate Merit True Eye for 500 low-grade spirit stones was simply a super bargain.

And he believed that the Innate Merit True Eye wouldn't be aimless; this thing must be extraordinary, it was just that he hadn't found the correct way to utilize it yet.

Now he was even a bit impressed by his own acting skills. Not only did he pick up a leak, but he also made both the buyer and seller feel like they had taken advantage and maintained a pleasant mood.

This also prevented the owner from suddenly feeling anxious, feeling like he was about to be picked up for a leak, and suddenly going back on his word.

The scene he just acted out not only comforted the stall owner's mood but also allowed him to pick up the leak smoothly, which could be considered killing two birds with one stone.

He was indeed the most professional leak-picker, picking up leaks unknowingly; it was truly "High!".

Moreover, the highest realm of picking up leaks was letting the owner cry and shout to leak the treasure to you. This was called making a fortune in silence. Lin Zhangqing was intoxicated and proud of himself all the way.

However, fortunately, although he picked up a leak, he still didn't relax his vigilance and kept scanning with his divine sense along the way.

And he specifically circled around the streets and alleys a few times, and after confirming it was safe, he returned to the inn where he was staying.

Sitting in the room, he took out the stone nest that the owner had "forced onto him" to study. This thing was only slightly larger than an open palm.

The base was large, and the opening at the top was small. The shape was like a volcano reduced by countless times, except that the opening of the crater at the top was a bit larger.

Inside were six oval-shaped stone eggs about an inch and a half in size, which looked completely petrified and fused with the stone nest.

He tried to reach into the stone nest, wanting to see if he could take out a stone egg, but he tried several times without success. The stone eggs were still firmly connected to the stone nest.

He tried to input spiritual energy into the stone nest, but it was like a bottomless pit inside. After half an hour, Lin Zhangqing had input all the spiritual energy in his body, but he didn't get any feedback.

After trying once, he didn't dare to try again. After all, there were still things to do later, so he couldn't waste time here.

This was a bit like when Baibai was born, but Baibai at least had some reaction, whereas this one had no reaction at all, swallowing all the spiritual energy input into it.

Now there was no other way, so he could only put the thing away and continue to try when he had time in the future! Now he had to hurry up and restore all the spiritual energy in his body. The plan was about to start, and sufficient spiritual energy was needed to deal with any sudden situations later.

Holding a medium-grade spirit stone, he spent another half an hour and finally restored all his spiritual energy. He looked at the sky outside and estimated the time.

Zhao Liyu would start her action in about an hour. Lin Zhangqing had to prepare in advance.

He tidied up, activated the restriction on the door, and then left the inn.

After leaving the Jinzhou Market, he flew toward the guest ship landing field. After flying for about ten miles, he saw a forest and felt that this place was quite suitable.

He first released Chu Yi and Chu Er and let them fly higher to avoid being discovered by others.

Then he set up the Small Five Elements Mystery Array and adjusted the coverage of the array to the maximum.

The array covered a circle with a diameter of two hundred meters. Then he released all one hundred Purple Crystal Scorpions and arranged three layers of defense and early warning.

He inspected everything, and after confirming there were no problems, Lin Zhangqing took out his light gauze treasure.

He found a position with a relatively open view and covered himself with the light gauze treasure, hiding there.

Next was patient waiting. Fast would be an hour, slow would be two or three hours before Zhao Liyu would come out.

The risks and variables in between were quite large, but Zhao Liyu would have to adapt to the situation herself. Anyway, as long as she brought that super-large raw stone to Lin Zhangqing, the task would be completed.

Soon the sky darkened. Lin Zhangqing estimated that Zhao Liyu should have already started. Now all he had to do was wait patiently and prepare to meet her.

Another hour passed, and the sky was almost completely dark. Chu Yi and Chu Er had to lower their altitude.

Fortunately, he finally waited for Chu Yi's early warning. Zhao Liyu had arrived, but she was followed by a group of people piloting a flying boat, flying rapidly toward here.

Lin Zhangqing immediately flipped his hand, and the Thunder Horn appeared in his palm. Then he began to inject spiritual energy into it, and soon, under Baibai's mobilization, a Geng Metal Divine Thunder was generated, ready to be fired.

Then, through the golden rune in his sea of consciousness, he guided Zhao Liyu to approach the place where the array was located.

Zhao Liyu, who was flying at high speed, received Lin Zhangqing's message, and the heart hanging in mid-air finally settled down. She adjusted her direction slightly and flew toward the position Lin Zhangqing mentioned.

The four people behind were still chasing relentlessly. Seeing the target "fat sheep" actually wanting to use the forest to shake them off, several people couldn't help but laugh.

When they flew into the coverage of the array, Lin Zhangqing cast a spell, instantly activating the array.

Then, the Geng Metal Divine Thunder locked on and blasted toward the flying boat they were piloting. After a huge thunderous sound of "Boom!", the flying boat crashed, and the people on it were scattered.

From falling into the array to being hit by a divine thunder, it was only a breath of time, and they couldn't react at all.

Fortunately, the flying boat wasn't flying high. Falling from a height of twenty or thirty meters wouldn't immediately take their lives, but they were all seriously injured.

Moreover, the Purple Crystal Scorpions scattered around didn't give them time to react, immediately pouncing on them and giving each of them a sting.

After four shrill screams, they all lost the ability to resist and fell to the ground, twitching violently.

This was the result of Lin Zhangqing's intentional control. He needed some living mouths and was preparing to interrogate them.

He rushed up, unloaded everything on them, tied them up tightly, and after knocking them all unconscious, he put them into the Spirit Beast Bracelet. A set of standard, smooth actions was completed.

He also collected all the spoils of war, including the crashed flying boat, and didn't let it go.

At this time, Zhao Liyu had circled half a circle and returned to the side of the array.

Lin Zhangqing controlled the array and let her in.

The first moment she entered, Zhao Liyu said, "Master, the thing is in hand. It's in this storage bag."

After speaking, she handed a storage bag to Lin Zhangqing.

However, now was not the time to check.

Lin Zhangqing nodded to her, "You did very well. Give me the other storage bag on your body too; I'll send you back to the inner space first."

Zhao Liyu nodded, simply handed all the things on her body to Lin Zhangqing, and was immediately put into the Spirit Beast Bracelet by Lin Zhangqing.

Then Lin Zhangqing entered the inner space, released Zhao Liyu, and returned all her things to her.

Then he also handed the four captives to Zhao Liyu and Xu Meiniang to look after, and left the spoils of war he had just cleaned up, as well as the storage bag containing the super-large raw stone, in the inner space.

After giving them a few instructions, he exited the inner space.

Back in the array, he carefully swept the scene several times with his divine sense, confirming that no other things were left behind, nor were there any items that could be used for tracking, which put his mind at ease.

With a thought, he summoned all the Purple Crystal Scorpions back, and Chu Yi and Chu Er also returned. Then he began to recover the Mystery Array, and after completion, he flew toward the Jinzhou Market with his sword.
