Chapter 240: Increasing Potential

It had been several months since the Purple Crystal Scorpions advanced, although it was still too early to advance again!

But there was no way, the situation forced it. Lin Zhangqing decided to pick out ten of the largest and strongest Purple Crystal Scorpions.

Feed them Hundred Flowers Drunken Soul Wine to let them advance to the second tier, so he wouldn't have to let Lin Zhangliu do everything.

Although it was third-tier, theoretically in Pingyang Prefecture, among these thirteen Foundation Establishment families, it should be an invincible existence, but it was better not to use it casually if he didn't have to.

Moreover, he also wanted to see what the Purple Crystal Scorpions would become after advancing to the second tier, but this time it was a bit like pulling up seedlings to help them grow, so Lin Zhangqing decided to add some potential to them.

Now in the inner space, there were still eleven Foundation Establishment fruits hanging on the tree. Lin Zhangqing prepared to pick ten down.

Give them to the ten Purple Crystal Scorpions he picked out to take, and then give them Drunken Soul Wine, so that they could increase some potential, hoping not to affect their subsequent growth because of this advancement.

Of course, now on Chengxia Peak, he definitely didn't dare to enter the inner space, so he could only wait until he set off the day after tomorrow to find a safe place to enter the inner space, and then arrange it properly.

Early the next morning, Lin Zhangqing completed his basic cultivation.

Afterward, he brewed a pot of spirit tea and sat in the courtyard, waiting for Chen Zi Ya's arrival, and by the way, enjoyed the bamboo forest scenery of this place.

The breeze blew through the bamboo forest, and the bamboo leaves rustled, which had an inexplicable, uncapturable rhythm, making people feel very comfortable and relaxed, with a very artistic conception.

No wonder Chen Zi Ya liked this place so much and named this courtyard "Listening to the Wind Cottage." It was indeed a good place suitable for her.

In a short while, Chen Zi Ya came, but she didn't speak. Seeing Lin Zhangqing listening to the sound of the wind, she leaned quietly by his side. Lin Zhangqing hugged her, and the two listened to the sound of bamboo leaves together for more than an hour.

Finally, it was Lin Zhangqing who saw that the time was almost up, and then pulled her to set off toward the mountain gate of the Qingyun Sect.

With Chen Zi Ya, an inner sect disciple, by his side, entering and leaving the mountain gate was much more convenient and wouldn't be obstructed too much. After entering the market, he went straight to the Myriad Treasures Pavilion.

Just as he stepped into the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, a young girl immediately greeted him.

"Two distinguished guests, welcome to the Myriad Treasures Pavilion. I am your shopping guide this time; you can call me Zhi Lan!" She was the shop assistant who had entertained Lin Zhangqing once before.

"Hello, I want to buy some pills." Lin Zhangqing said.

"Yes, two guests, please go to the second floor to have tea. Please this way!"

Zhi Lan led Lin Zhangqing and his companion to a small private room to sit down, and soon a maid served two cups of spirit tea.

"This guest looks a bit familiar, as if I've seen you before." Zhi Lan greeted with a smile.

Lin Zhangqing nodded, "That's right, I've been here once before, and you were the one who entertained me at that time."

"That's truly a coincidence. Two guests, what do you need today? I will try my best to find them for you."

"It is indeed a coincidence. I want to buy some Heavenly Thunder Beads and Yin Thunder Beads this time. Let's have twenty of each first!" Lin Zhangqing said lightly.

Hearing Lin Zhangqing ask for so many one-time high-power spirit objects at once, Zhi Lan was overjoyed in her heart.

She hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, Heavenly Thunder Beads and Yin Thunder Beads are five hundred spirit stones each. I will go prepare them now. Two distinguished guests, please wait a moment."

Afterward, she bowed and retreated to prepare the spirit objects.

After the maid refilled the spirit tea for the two twice, Zhi Lan returned carrying a tray covered with a red cloth.

Zhi Lan placed the tray respectfully in front of Lin Zhangqing, and just as she was about to introduce them, she was stopped by Lin Zhangqing with a wave of his hand.

Why would he need her to introduce these things? Lin Zhangqing was very familiar with them. He checked them himself and confirmed that the forty high-power, one-time dharma artifacts were all fine.

Lin Zhangqing nodded and continued, "I want all of these. Give me some more pills!"

"Okay," what other pills does the customer need? The Myriad Treasures Pavilion should be able to find them all. I will go get them for you."

Lin Zhangqing laughed and said, "Give me twenty bottles of Spirit Recovery Pills, twenty bottles of Spring Return Pills, and ten bottles of Jade Healing Pills!"

"Yes, these three common pills, you can have as many as you want."

"Top-grade Spirit Recovery Pills and top-grade Spring Return Pills are twenty spirit stones each, and two hundred spirit stones for a bottle of ten."

"Top-grade Jade Healing Pills are more expensive, thirty spirit stones each, and three hundred spirit stones for a bottle of ten."

"Do you have any other needs? I will bring them all at once, so as not to keep the two distinguished guests waiting too long."

Lin Zhangqing just wanted to shake his head, but suddenly his heart moved. The spirit crystals for the Purple Crystal Scorpions had been used up, so it was just right to buy some here.

So he said, "Are there any first-tier top-grade spirit crystals for sale here? If so, you can bring them for me to take a look."

"That's about all I need. Go down and prepare quickly! We have other things to do later." Zhi Lan hurriedly agreed, and this time the speed was much faster.

Not long after, she returned, bringing fifty bottles of pills. Lin Zhangqing checked a portion, confirmed there was no problem, and put them aside first.

Zhi Lan brought two kinds of spirit crystals, one of which was ice crystals. Lin Zhangqing signaled her to introduce the other kind.

Zhi Lan picked up a small light yellow crystal and introduced, "This is a first-tier top-grade earth-attribute spirit material, Ginger Yellow Crystal, one hundred and eighty spirit stones per portion. There are about two hundred portions in the pavilion now."

Lin Zhangqing heard this, and his brows wrinkled. Weren't first-tier top-grade spirit crystals about one hundred and fifty spirit stones? Why was this so expensive? He couldn't help but ask, "How many spirit stones per portion for ice crystals?"

Zhi Lan also knew that the guest had doubts, so she hurriedly replied, "Ice crystals are one hundred and fifty spirit stones per portion."

"Ginger Yellow Crystal is so expensive because it is not easy to collect. This thing is only found in specific locations in the desert, one hundred zhang below, where it is possible to find it. Mining and collecting are relatively troublesome."

"And Ginger Yellow Crystal is relatively hard, suitable for refining armor, so it will be slightly more expensive than other first-tier spirit crystals."

Lin Zhangqing was speechless. Thirty spirit stones more expensive per portion was not slightly more expensive, but many points more expensive. However, fortunately, he could still afford this price.

He said to Zhi Lan, "Since you say it's so good, give me one hundred portions of Ginger Yellow Crystal!"

Actually, as soon as he heard that Ginger Yellow Crystal was relatively hard and suitable for refining armor, he decided to buy it.

Zhi Lan was overjoyed, hurriedly gave an instruction, and then ran out. She didn't forget that the guest just said they had other things to do later, so she had to seize the time.

Not long after, Zhi Lan brought one hundred Ginger Yellow Crystals back. Lin Zhangqing checked them, and after confirming there was no problem.

He poured out forty-nine thousand spirit stones and his VIP card, and handed them to Zhi Lan together.

She used a secret method to record the amount of this transaction on Lin Zhangqing's VIP card, and the transaction was completed.

After the transaction was completed, Lin Zhangqing and his companion prepared to say goodbye and leave. Zhi Lan was about to respectfully send them to the door.

However, she was stopped by Lin Zhangqing, who told her not to send them, and then the two walked out of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion low-key. He didn't want to attract anyone's attention.

Holding Chen Zi Ya's hand, the two walked toward the stone gambling workshop. It had been several months since Lin Zhangqing came last time.

Going over now, the stone gambling workshop owner should have already brought in new goods, so this time was the most suitable.

And Lin Zhangqing also knew the place, so the two walked slowly hand in hand.

Chen Zi Ya cherished the time now, because the next time the two walked hand in hand again, it would have to wait until the struggle between the thirteen Foundation Establishment families in Pingyang Prefecture ended.

This didn't know how long it would take, and Lin Zhangqing himself couldn't estimate it.

The two had just stepped into the stone gambling workshop, and the shop assistant immediately greeted them. However, Lin Zhangqing waved his hand at him.

And said, "No trouble, we'll just take a look ourselves. If we need anything, we'll find you."

The shop assistant nodded, bowed, and retreated.

Lin Zhangqing said to Chen Zi Ya, "Junior Sister, let's separate and choose ourselves first, and then gather in a while."

Chen Zi Ya smiled lightly, "That's fine, Senior Brother, remember what you promised me. Come over and help me refer to it in a while."

Lin Zhangqing laughed. Last time he couldn't help but help Chen Zi Ya, and she still remembered it until now. However, anyway, the fat water didn't flow to outsiders.

"I know, you choose a few pieces yourself first, and I'll come over in a while, and then decide which one to take."

Chen Zi Ya heard this and immediately started choosing with great interest.

Lin Zhangqing himself went straight toward a large raw stone. As soon as he entered the shop, he saw the only raw stone in the shop that emitted a bright halo, and it was a blue halo, very beautiful.

Of course, there were thirteen or fourteen others with darker halos, but Lin Zhangqing didn't have much interest in them.

He came to the side of the raw stone emitting a bright blue halo and studied it. This raw stone was the second largest top-grade spirit stone mine he had ever seen.

He estimated visually that it was half the weight of that town-shop treasure. Lin Zhangqing couldn't help but hug it, and sure enough, he was right. He was now at the entry level of body refining, and he could still hug something of one thousand five or six hundred catties.

But now he tried two or three times, and this raw stone didn't move at all, proving it definitely exceeded two thousand catties.

This way Lin Zhangqing knew in his heart. The pricing method for ordinary raw stones was almost three to four times the weight, which was the selling price of the raw stone.
