Chapter 194: Speculation on Spatial Attributes

The guest ship finally officially set sail, which meant the matter of the Jinzhou Market had come to a temporary end.

Thinking about it, now that the guest ship had just set sail, the guarding cultivators on the ship must be patrolling everywhere, so it wasn't suitable to cultivate spells or anything.

Then he might as well continue to study the leak he picked up yesterday!

He took the stone nest out of the storage bag. Actually, when he discovered yesterday that he could input spiritual energy into it, Lin Zhangqing already had some guesses in his heart.

Because no matter what it was, it couldn't accommodate spiritual energy without limit, unless it was a spatial item.

However, what he saw yesterday was only a golden halo, which meant that the attribute of the treasure itself was a "metal" attribute treasure.

Of course, that wasn't absolute, just like when he saw Lin Changliu at his grandfather's place, which was still in the state of a spirit seed. At that time, Lin Zhangqing only saw a colorful halo.

He thought it was just a five-element attribute and didn't think at all that Lin Changliu also had a spatial attribute.

There was also the Xuan Yuan Heavy Water Bottle. When he saw it at the stall, he only saw a blue halo and didn't think at all that it was also a spatial treasure.

So Lin Zhangqing guessed that perhaps the halo representing the spatial attribute couldn't be seen by the naked eye; it was possible that the halo representing the spatial attribute was transparent and colorless.

Lin Zhangqing had already decided that whenever he had time, he would input spiritual energy into this stone nest. He believed that one day it would be filled, and at that time, there should be some changes, right?

Having decided this, Lin Zhangqing brewed a pot of Green Jade Tea and drank it while inputting spiritual energy into the stone nest. When the spiritual energy was used up, he would meditate to recover it. A whole morning passed just like that.

He had already input all the spiritual energy in his body seven or eight times, but he still didn't get any feedback. Fortunately, Lin Zhangqing also knew that it couldn't be rushed.

If it were any other treasure, Lin Zhangqing would have used violent means to crack it directly.

Just like the Xuan Yuan Heavy Water Bottle at the time, he just picked up his flying sword and hacked at it, and it immediately broke its disguise and revealed its true face.

But this thing wouldn't work; it was too special. Up to now, he still didn't know whether the treasure was this stone nest or these six stone eggs.

If it were really the six stone eggs, then if he smashed them, they would really be gone, so he couldn't act rashly and could only take it slowly.

Moreover, this stone nest had been in the hands of that stall owner for who knows how long, and he hadn't seen him study anything out of it! It was estimated that he himself had completely lost confidence in the end, which was why he chose to sell it for spirit stones.

But Lin Zhangqing was different. He had the blessing of the Innate Merit True Eye and knew that this thing was 100% a treasure, and it definitely wasn't an ordinary treasure.

So Lin Zhangqing had confidence and patience, believing that one day he would understand what kind of treasure this was.

A morning passed just like that. The guest ship guards should have finished patrolling, so Lin Zhangqing decided to enter the inner space to take a look.

Actually, he had wanted to go in for a long time, having held it in from last night until now, but because the situation yesterday was special, he held back for the sake of safety.

He activated the Small Five Elements Mystery Array arranged in the room and then entered the inner space.

As soon as he came in, Lu Youqiang, Lu Xiaoya, and their family surrounded him. Yesterday, time was too hurried, and he didn't have time to interact with them at all. Today, he just happened to make up for it.

Every Three-Colored Deer enjoyed the petting and grooming service provided by Lin Zhangqing, and then he fed them Spirit Nurturing Pills.

For the second-rank Lu Youqiang and Lu Xiaoya couple, he gave them double Spirit Nurturing Pills this time. Lu Xiaoling was still at the first-rank late stage, and fearing it couldn't bear it, he only gave it one, and then let them go play by themselves.

Xu Meiniang and Zhao Liyu had been waiting on the side for a while.

Seeing that Lin Zhangqing finally had time, the two of them said in unison, "Little maid, greetings to Master!"

Lin Zhangqing nodded, "You two don't need to be so formal. Zhao Liyu did very well yesterday; you can think about that reward.

But I must make it clear first: you two just consumed the Hundred Flowers Drunken Soul Wine not long ago. If you consume it again, it will be at least a year later. Don't say you chose spirit wine and I didn't give it to you."

Zhao Liyu was a bit uneasy and said embarrassedly, "Master, yesterday I even brought those four tails to you. Does that count as completing the task?" Lin Zhangqing chuckled, "As long as you bring that super-large raw stone to me, it counts as completing the task.

This time there were some flaws, which were also within expectations. As long as the ending is the same, it can be considered harmless."

Hearing Lin Zhangqing's explanation, Zhao Liyu finally breathed a sigh of relief and then became happy.

She said to Lin Zhangqing, "Then Master, I want to choose to cultivate steadily here until the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection."

After speaking, she looked at Lin Zhangqing with anticipation.

Lin Zhangqing nodded, "Good, you can't regret it once you've chosen. I promise you."

Zhao Liyu then beamed with joy and hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you, Master. I won't regret it."

"By the way, tell me about your experience buying that big raw stone yesterday and what happened in between!" Lin Zhangqing also wanted to know about her experience yesterday.

Zhao Liyu nodded, organized her thoughts slightly, and said, "After I got the entry/exit token for the market, I found an inn near the Gambling Stone Workshop to stay in.

Early the next morning, I walked around the streets and alleys of the market twice to familiarize myself with the terrain.

Then I returned to the inn room to wait. It wasn't until it was almost evening that I went to that Gambling Stone Workshop.

I stayed inside, studying the raw stones on the surface, but actually, I wanted to wait until the guests had left before buying that big raw stone.

Finally, when they were about to close, I asked the clerk to find the boss and proposed to buy that big raw stone.

The boss didn't believe it at first. I confirmed it again and again and took out the spirit stones before he believed I was telling the truth and not joking.

Later, because the raw stone was too heavy, it took a quarter of an hour or two for him to find someone to lift the raw stone and put it into the storage bag.

I estimate that the news must have leaked out at this time. Some of the clerks in the Gambling Stone Workshop must have tipped off people outside.

After I took the storage bag and left the Gambling Stone Workshop, I discovered that I was being watched, so I used the terrain in the market to shake them off.

I didn't expect them to run directly to the market gate and hide nearby to keep watch.

After I left the market for a distance, they chased from behind.

They must have done this because they didn't want me to return to the market and could only keep running outside.

I followed Master's instructions and flew toward the guest ship landing field until I received Master's instructions, and Master knows everything that happened afterward."

Lin Zhangqing listened and thought for a moment, "You did very well, knowing to wait until everyone else had left before buying that raw stone.

Doing this reduced a lot of trouble. Otherwise, I estimate that it wouldn't have been one group chasing you yesterday; it might have been several groups, and the variables would have been large.

And you were also in danger yourself, but fortunately, the result is quite good now.

Next time you go on a mission, remember to think more like you did yesterday. You did very well this time."

Hearing Lin Zhangqing praise her for doing well, Zhao Liyu was also very happy. Of course, the most important thing was getting the Master's affirmation, which also made her feel much more at ease.

At this time, Lin Zhangqing noticed Xu Meiniang's envious expression and, after consideration, felt he should comfort her.

So he said to her, "In the future, there should be many such tasks. You will have many opportunities to go on missions in the future, so don't worry too much."

Xu Meiniang knew that Lin Zhangqing said this to comfort her, and she was very grateful in her heart, nodding in agreement.
