Chapter 226: The Final Winner

Early the next morning, after Lin Zhangqing finished his cultivation task, he waited for Chen Zi Ya in the living room.

He had agreed with Chen Zi Ya yesterday that the two would go to the gambling stone workshop today, and then go to the stall square to wander around.

Not long after, Chen Zi Ya came out; however, it was still too early to go out, so Chen Zi Ya took out the tea set and brewed Green Jade Tea for Lin Zhangqing.

After finishing appreciating Chen Zi Ya's tea art, Lin Zhangqing cheekily leaned over again; after getting along for more than half a year, Chen Zi Ya had basically adapted to Lin Zhangqing's way of expressing feelings.

Or it could be said that she was already used to it; after all, Lin Zhangqing's way of expressing feelings was still quite direct, and she had already been stamped by Lin Zhangqing I don't know how many times, so she was used to it even if she wasn't.

The two had a pot of spirit tea, which lasted for a full hour; finally, it was Chen Zi Ya who pulled Lin Zhangqing out of the door, otherwise he could have held Chen Zi Ya and drank for another hour.

The first destination today was the gambling stone workshop; it had been half a year, and he didn't know if the gambling stone workshop had any new goods.

Last time in the gambling stone workshop, all the upper-grade spirit stone raw ores were bought by Lin Zhangqing, and even the treasure of the shop that had been placed for decades fell into Lin Zhangqing's hands.

No! It should be said that it fell into Lin Zhangliu's hands; after absorbing and digesting it, it advanced to the third stage, and the inner space also increased by several thousand mu of land area, so Lin Zhangliu was the final winner.

Holding Chen Zi Ya's hand, he came to the storefront of the gambling stone workshop, seeing the place where the treasure of the shop was specifically placed before.

Now there was another huge raw stone placed there, just slightly smaller than the last one, and the marked price was also fifty thousand lower-grade spirit stones.

Seeing this, Lin Zhangqing couldn't help but show a smile on his face; the boss of the gambling stone workshop must have tasted the sweetness, and actually came up with this again.

It was a pity that the Innate Merit True Eye didn't have any hints this time, proving that it was just a lower-grade spirit stone raw ore; in short, it was definitely not worth fifty thousand spirit stones; this time whoever bought it would be unlucky.

Lin Zhangqing held Chen Zi Ya's hand and walked into the gambling stone workshop; the shop clerk immediately greeted them, just wanting to open his mouth to greet them.

Lin Zhangqing had already said a sentence first, "No trouble, we'll just take a look ourselves; if we need anything, we'll find you."

The shop clerk had already seen this kind of situation a lot, so he nodded, saluted, and retreated.

Actually, when Lin Zhangqing first came in, he had already found that insider; it was truly too easy to identify.

A section taller than others, it was really very conspicuous; he also remembered his name should be Chen Sibao, and his nickname was Chen Si-yan.

However, the person was seen, but how to make a move was another problem; the aftermath after making a move was another problem; at least he had to avoid the investigation of the market executive level.

So it was best not to make a move in the market; this would reduce many unnecessary troubles; of course, today was mainly to recognize the person, and others would talk about it later.

See if he would leave the market in these two days; if he left, it would be convenient to make a move then.

Lin Zhangqing stepped into the gambling stone workshop, recognized Chen Sibao, and then no longer paid attention to him, so as not to arouse his vigilance.

He said to Chen Zi Ya beside him: "Junior Sister, let's separate and choose raw stones ourselves first! Later, I will come to find you to meet up."

Chen Zi Ya nodded and happily agreed; actually, she also wanted to take a look by herself first.

After separating from Chen Zi Ya, only then did Lin Zhangqing put his attention back on the raw stones.

Last time he came, it had been six or seven months now, and the gambling stone workshop indeed had a new batch of new goods; after scanning, there were twenty or so halos of different brightness and darkness.

It was a pity that after looking closely, there was only one raw stone that was an upper-grade spirit stone raw ore emitting a bright yellow halo.

Wandering over casually, he held this earth-attribute upper-grade spirit stone raw ore in his hand to study; the size was not bad, and after weighing it, it was probably seventy or eighty catties heavy.

Now Lin Zhangqing could also be considered an entry-level body refiner; holding something of several dozen catties in his hand felt light, and subsequently, he patrolled around again and chose two more mid-grade spirit stone raw ores that were relatively large in size.

The three raw stones together were estimated to be three or four hundred catties; he let the shop clerk call the boss to settle the bill, and a total of sixteen hundred spirit stones were collected from Lin Zhangqing; after refusing the boss's offer to help cut the stone for free.

After putting the three raw stones into the storage bag, only then did Lin Zhangqing pay attention to Chen Zi Ya, finding that she was holding two raw stones in her hand, currently hesitating. It looked like she didn't know which one to choose; however, Lin Zhangqing was also speechless; neither of the two she was holding had a halo, so what was there to hesitate about.

Directly among the remaining raw stones emitting halos, he chose the largest mid-grade spirit stone raw ore emitting a dark blue halo.

He took it and placed it in Chen Zi Ya's hand, "Junior Sister, you study this one; I think this one is not bad."

Chen Zi Ya chuckled; it was rare for Lin Zhangqing to be willing to choose raw stones for her, so no matter if it was good or bad, she had to give him face.

Subsequently, he called the boss to settle the bill; this raw stone collected three hundred and fifty spirit stones from Chen Zi Ya.

After Chen Zi Ya put away the raw stone, Lin Zhangqing cheekily held her hand again, left the gambling stone workshop together, and walked toward the stall square.

As for that insider Chen Sibao, he would come here to watch when the gambling stone workshop closed in the evening to see where he would go, and then judge whether there was a chance to make a move.

The two wandered around, anyway, they weren't in a hurry; when they arrived, it was just right, and it was the busiest time, with quite a lot of people setting up stalls, and even more people wandering around the stalls.

The two smiled at each other, and subsequently joined the ranks of wandering around the stalls; Chen Zi Ya was in front, and Lin Zhangqing followed behind her.

Actually, six or seven months ago, Lin Zhangqing had wandered around this stall square once and also harvested a stone nest; for the past six months, he had been injecting spiritual energy with his aura into it.

The consciousness intensity fed back from the six little lives inside was already more than double what it was before, but he didn't know when they would break out of their shells.

Of course, whether they had the ability to break out of their shells was also a big problem, so every day when he injected spiritual energy into them, he would carefully observe if there were any signs of being born.

He was already prepared to take action to help them when they were about to fail to break out of their shells.

Following Chen Zi Ya to wander around, but it was a pity that so many stalls didn't find any good things, so he collected a dozen or so ordinary spirit herbs that could be replanted.

Wandering for one or two hours, there was no good harvest, and in total, he only collected a dozen or so ordinary spirit herbs that were dispensable.

Instead, Chen Zi Ya harvested quite a few things like small jade ornaments, buying a dozen or so pieces, saying they were small gifts to send to several fellow senior and junior sisters.

In the middle, Lin Zhangqing also saw the stall owner who sold him the stone nest, but Lin Zhangqing didn't go over to greet him.

Otherwise, if he asked how that stone nest was, Lin Zhangqing really wouldn't know how to answer; it was hard to have everyone happy last time, so don't go and destroy this balance.

After the two finished wandering around the stall square, seeing that the time was still early, they wandered around the streets and alleys of the market for a big circle.

The footprints left by them were everywhere in the market; finally, Chen Zi Ya was satisfied and returned to the suite of the inn.

Subsequently, the two chatted for a while, and then went back to their rooms to rest respectively.

Lin Zhangqing used his divine sense to carefully check the room, confirmed there was no problem, and then set up and activated the Mystery Array.

Now Lin Zhangqing had to seize the time to complete the daily scheduled spell and divine ability cultivation.

After completing the cultivation, seeing that the sky was almost evening, Lin Zhangqing hurriedly changed into a Hidden Spirit Mask; thinking for a while, he even changed his clothes.

Then he let Lin Zhangliu leave a spatial mark in the room; of course, this was just in case, and he estimated it probably wouldn't be used.

Leaving the inn, he came to the vicinity of the gambling stone workshop, just happened to see an artifact refining shop, and walked in directly.

Inside, he consulted the boss about whether it was possible to refine a second-stage thunder-attribute stabilizing object using a first-stage top-grade thunder-struck wood core plus an appropriate amount of spiritual materials.
