Chapter 209

He said to Xiao Chen: "I've learned something; I want this set of spiritual artifacts; are there any other thunder-attribute spiritual artifacts below?"

Xiao Chen was overjoyed to hear that Lin Zhangqing decided to buy this set of spiritual artifacts again and quickly answered: "There is also a second-stage low-grade Swift Thunder Sword among the thunder-attribute spiritual artifacts.

This flying sword is very fast, at least thirty percent faster than flying swords of the same rank, and it is the first choice for cultivators who like to use sword artifacts."

Lin Zhangqing waved his hand and said: "Forget about this Swift Thunder Sword, I already have one."

Xiao Chen could only nod regretfully, and then began to introduce thunder-attribute spiritual materials.

He picked up a round bead and said: "This is the inner core of a second-stage late-stage thunder bird, suitable for alchemy or artifact refining.

If it is for artifact refining, it is recommended to consider refining it into a spiritual artifact like a Thunder Spirit Bead, as the success rate is relatively high.

Purchasing this second-stage late-stage inner core requires three thousand five hundred spirit stones."

Lin Zhangqing shook his head, indicating that he was not interested in this thunder bird's inner core.

Xiao Chen was a bit disappointed, and then continued to pick up a piece of refined iron about the size of a palm, on which thunder light was faintly flashing.

He specifically showed this spiritual material to Lin Zhangqing, and then began to introduce: "Distinguished guest, this is a piece of second-stage medium-grade Thunder-Struck Iron."

Lin Zhangqing was a bit surprised and asked: "I have heard of Thunder-Struck Wood, but how can there be Thunder-Struck Iron?"

Xiao Chen smiled and explained: "Since there is Thunder-Struck Wood, naturally there can also be Thunder-Struck Iron! Anyway, they are all formed after being struck by lightning; spiritual wood might be struck by lightning a few times, and after luckily surviving, it gains a thunder attribute.

This kind of Thunder-Struck Iron is formed by placing metal spiritual materials that attract lightning strikes into areas where lightning often appears; over a long period of time, the metal spiritual materials are struck by lightning many times, and the structure inside changes, so it also gains a thunder attribute.

This spiritual material was refined from iron stone that fell from the sky; it was a second-stage medium-grade meteorite iron, but now that it has gained a thunder attribute, it should be called Meteorite Thunder Iron!

Purchasing this second-stage medium-grade Meteorite Thunder Iron requires two thousand five hundred spirit stones."

Lin Zhangqing thought for a moment and decided to buy this Meteorite Thunder Iron; he might use it in the future.

So he said: "Okay, I want this Meteorite Thunder Iron too; you calculate how many spirit stones it is in total."

Xiao Chen was overjoyed to hear Lin Zhangqing's words and calculated quickly.

Then he said respectfully: "Distinguished guest, two spiritual artifacts plus one piece of second-stage spiritual material, it is twenty-two thousand three hundred spirit stones in total; do you have a Wanbao Pavilion VIP card? I will register it for you."

Lin Zhangqing nodded and said: "I have spent so many spirit stones in your Wanbao Pavilion; you give me a boarding voucher to Jinzhou Prefecture; this request is not too much, right?"

Xiao Chen was in a difficult position when he heard this, and in the end, he had no choice but to say: "Then let me go and ask the manager for instructions, and then I will come back to reply to you!"

Lin Zhangqing waved his hand, signaling him to go quickly.

Not long after, Xiao Chen returned with a beaming face; looking at his appearance, Lin Zhangqing knew that the matter had been handled, and their manager must have agreed.

Sure enough, Xiao Chen said: "Distinguished guest, the manager has agreed; it just so happens that the guest ship arrived at the landing field outside the city last night, and it will depart for Jinzhou Prefecture at the Chen hour tomorrow; this is a Jia-character voucher."

After speaking, he respectfully handed a jade token to Lin Zhangqing.

Lin Zhangqing took it and looked at it; it was engraved with Jia Twelve, and he could not help but nod.

Afterward, he took out twenty-two thousand three hundred spirit stones from his storage bag, as well as his VIP card.

Xiao Chen respectfully took it and used a secret method to register the amount of spirit stones spent this time on it.

However, just as Xiao Chen applied the secret method and saw the amount on it, plus the amount spent this time, it had already reached the standard for upgrading to a second-level VIP card, and he could not help but let out an "Eh!".

Lin Zhangqing thought there was some problem and asked: "Is there something wrong with my VIP card?"

Xiao Chen quickly explained: "No, no, it is that the consumption amount on your VIP card has already reached the standard for upgrading to a second-level VIP card.

I am just about to report it to the manager to change it to a second-level VIP card for you."

Lin Zhangqing suddenly realized and remembered that there was such a thing; he had forgotten about the Wanbao Pavilion's VIP card system. Counting it up, the amount of spirit stones he had spent at the Wanbao Pavilion was not small, and adding it up, it should be about the same; the VIP card should be upgraded.

Lin Zhangqing nodded: "Is that so? I forgot about this; then I will trouble you!"

Afterward, Xiao Chen took Lin Zhangqing's VIP card and ran out; he should have gone to find the manager of the Wanbao Pavilion to change it to a second-level VIP card for Lin Zhangqing.

This time he did not wait long before Xiao Chen returned with a new second-level VIP card, let Lin Zhangqing refine it with a drop of blood, and then used a secret method to record the amount of spirit stones spent on it.

After doing all this, Lin Zhangqing took all the things back into the storage bag and then declined Xiao Chen, telling him not to send him off, as he did not want to attract attention.

Afterward, he left the Wanbao Pavilion alone and low-key, and walked toward the Ping'an Inn where he had stayed last time; this name left the deepest impression on Lin Zhangqing.

After confirming that no one was following him, he arrived at the inn and registered for a guest room with the newly obtained entry and exit voucher.

After the shop clerk who led the way left, Lin Zhangqing activated the restriction on the door and breathed a sigh of relief.

He was ready to have a good rest; having flown for more than ten days, plus sleeping in the open, even with a cultivator's physique, he was a bit tired.

Originally, he planned to have a good rest for a few days at the Qiyun Market, but he did not expect to get the boarding voucher for tomorrow, which was just right; he would transfer to the guest ship to rest.

This also met Lin Zhangqing's wishes, just right, so he did not have to stay under the eyes of the Qi family.

As usual, he began to use his divine sense to carefully check the room twice, then set up the Maze Array, and then directly activated the formation.

Lin Zhangqing decided to use this time to refine the newly bought Cyan Thunder Pendant, and then use the Treasure Gathering Technique to replace the Thunder Spirit Pearl in the seventh thunder aperture with the Cyan Thunder Pendant.

In the future, Lin Zhangqing would have another layer of protection on his body; this time Zhao Zihong's soul broke through Lin Zhangqing's seven-layer defense, and that scene was truly too impressive to him.

Therefore, he decided that if there was a chance in the future, he would get more defensive spiritual artifacts or defensive magic treasures; anyway, he only had one life, and no matter how cautious he was, it would not be too much!

It took two or three hours, and by the time Lin Zhangqing finally finished everything, it was already night.

Because he had been sleeping in the open for more than ten days, he was indeed a bit tired, so he decided to cultivate the Thunder True Scripture early today and then rest a little earlier.

Sitting cross-legged and setting his posture, he operated the cultivation method, and various familiar feelings struck Lin Zhangqing again; soon a pool of sweat gathered under him.

Two hours later, Lin Zhangqing finally exhausted all his energy, and after cleaning his body outside, he came back and lay down to rest.

However, perhaps it was still a bit early, and he was not used to it, so his thinking became clear instead.

In fact, Lin Zhangqing currently had several problems to deal with; the first one was that he must thoroughly hide the cross-continental teleportation array near the Lu Family Settlement.

This was very important to Lin Zhangqing; in the future, going to other continents to roam would mainly rely on this teleportation array.

Letting Lin Zhangqing go to the Wanbao Pavilion to spend millions of spirit stones to obtain the qualification to borrow the cross-continental teleportation array, he was definitely reluctant.

With these spirit stones, it would be better to throw them into the deep pit for Lin Zhangliu to absorb and digest, which could also increase some area for the inner space.

Originally, he planned to buy some Mud-to-Stone Talismans directly at the Wanbao Pavilion in Qiyun Market, but later he thought about it and felt that it would be safer to buy them elsewhere.

So, he would buy this after Lin Zhangqing returned to Jinzhou Market; he believed that in this short time, it should not be such a coincidence that someone would discover that place!

The second problem was that Lin Zhangqing had not yet proposed marriage to Chen Zi Ya's parents, and his own elders were not by his side, so for a while, he did not know who to ask to come forward and represent him in proposing marriage to Chen Zi Ya's parents.

The third problem was that Lin Zhangqing's cultivation was already at the Qi Refining Great Perfection, and he only needed to polish his spiritual energy for another year or so before he could consider the problem of Foundation Establishment.

But the problem was that he had five spirit roots, and now he was less than twenty years old and had successfully established his foundation; was it too high-profile? It did not conform to his usual code of conduct at all.

So he was considering whether to go outside and roam for a few years before going back; at that time, he would say that he had roamed outside and obtained some opportunities, and luckily successfully established his foundation, and then came back.

Lying down and thinking about this and that, he fell into a deep sleep unknowingly.
