Chapter 285: Purple Smoke Ink Stick

Still the old rule: first use divine sense to carefully check the room twice, and then set up the Small Five Elements Mystery Array.

After activating the array, he sat on a chair to rest and brewed a pot of Green Jade Spirit Tea for himself.

This afternoon was really too tiring! Heart-tired! It felt even more tiring than practicing the Thunder True Scripture! Next time, I'll die before I come again.

He rested well for a while, solved that pot of spirit tea by the way, and then began to practice spells and divine abilities. After finishing, he continued to practice the Thunder True Scripture.

By the time everything was finished, it was already late at night.

Lin Zhangqing specifically went to the courtyard to take a look. The restrictions on their doors were all activated, proving that Lin Changjie and the other three had all returned, so he felt relieved.

Everyone came out together, and his cultivation was the highest. Even if the Clan Leader didn't require it at the time, he naturally had the responsibility to look after them.

He returned to his room with peace of mind and lay down to rest.

Early the next morning, after completing his cultivation, Lin Zhangqing arrived at the living room. Unexpectedly, his sister and Lin Changlian were already waiting there.

"Brother, why do you always come so late?" his sister asked with disdain.

Lin Zhangqing chuckled: "Why get up so early? Going now is just right. If it's too early, I estimate Seventh Uncle and the others haven't opened the door yet!

What are you still waiting for? Let's go, set off to pay a visit to Seventh Uncle!"

Lin Changlian couldn't help but ask: "We're leaving just like this! Not waiting for Fifth Brother and the others?"

"Not waiting. They already went yesterday, they won't go today! Let them arrange it themselves!" Lin Zhangqing said with a grin.

The two nodded, then followed Lin Zhangqing out of the inn and walked straight towards the direction of the Stall Square.

Along the way, he had already seen the shops along the street opening one after another. By the time Lin Zhangqing and the three of them found Linyou Pavilion, the shops on the street had all opened for business.

The three of them saw Seventh Uncle Lin Maofu at the door, and hurriedly paid their respects and greeted him.

He often went to Sixth Brother Lin Changyuan's house to play when he was young, so Lin Zhangqing was quite familiar with Seventh Uncle! "Greetings, Seventh Uncle! Seeing you again! It seems you've become a bit more prosperous!" Lin Zhangqing greeted with a grin.

"Greetings, Seventh Uncle!"

"Greetings, Seventh Uncle!" His younger sister and Lin Changlian both paid their respects and greeted him formally and respectfully.

Seventh Uncle puffed out his slightly plump belly and said with a smile: "Little Qing and Changlian are here. This should be your younger sister Changling, right!

Everyone come into the shop to sit, don't stand at the door. I expected you would come over last night, why did you drag it until today?"

"That's right! This is my precious younger sister Lin Changling. This time, I mainly brought her to the market to see the world, so she wouldn't keep nagging about it!

Yesterday, I wandered too late with them, and it wasn't convenient to come over, so I simply waited until early this morning!"

"Coming to the market for the first time is like this. I remember when Eldest Uncle brought me to Pingyang Market to be a shop clerk, I was excited for two or three whole days!

Unexpectedly, thirty years have passed just like that!" Seventh Uncle sighed.

"It's fine, you still look so young and handsome. Of course, if you could be a bit thinner, that would be even better!" Lin Zhangqing joked.

As soon as Lin Zhangqing finished speaking, several people laughed!

Seventh Uncle also laughed and scolded: "You brat, you only know how to feed me sweet talk!"

Subsequently, he turned to greet his younger sister and Lin Changling: "You two don't learn from this brat, he's glib-tongued! Everyone come into the shop! Let you taste the spirit tea I treasure." Subsequently, everyone entered the shop together. The shop wasn't too big, three zhang wide at the front and nine zhang deep. It was considered medium-sized in Pingyang Market. No matter what, it was one of the thirteen Foundation Establishment families in Pingyang Prefecture, so the shop front was also a facade, so it couldn't be made too small.

Moreover, there were several mortal clansmen inside who were specifically helping with chores. However, Seventh Uncle didn't introduce them, so Lin Zhangqing and the others didn't need to go over to greet them.

Seventh Uncle led Lin Zhangqing and the three of them straight to the second floor of the shop.

After greeting everyone to sit down, he took out the spirit tea he treasured from his storage bag and brewed it for everyone.

However, Lin Zhangqing tasted it, and it was indeed not bad. It was considered quite good among First-Grade spirit tea, but compared to Green Jade Spirit Tea, it was still much worse.

Everyone sat together, drinking the spirit tea Seventh Uncle treasured, and listened to him tell a few segments of market news and some things that had happened recently. These contents were all things Lin Zhangqing and the three of them loved to hear. Later, the topic turned to the things that had happened in the family this time.

"Has the family's matter been resolved? I asked Changyuan and the others yesterday about what exactly happened, but they couldn't say anything specific!" Seventh Uncle asked Lin Zhangqing.

Lin Zhangqing nodded and said: "I roughly know a little. It seems the Clan Leader and the two grandfathers took out the family's trump card treasure and displayed great power! In three strikes and five divisions, they beat the Zhao and Li families until they were running away in disarray.

A few days ago, they specifically found the Shi family Clan Leader, Shi Fuding, to be the middleman, and came to Nine Peaks Mountain with the people of the Zhao and Li families to talk about peace!"

Lin Zhangqing said everything he could say, and didn't mention a single word of what he couldn't say, pushing all the credit and battle achievements to the Clan Leader and the two grandfathers.

After Seventh Uncle heard what Lin Zhangqing said, he suddenly realized and said: "No wonder, so it was the family's trump card treasure that was dispatched! This is also good. After fighting this battle, it also lets others know that our Nine Peaks Mountain Lin family is not to be trifled with!"

Subsequently, Seventh Uncle didn't ask any more questions on this issue. He estimated that he knew that Lin Zhangqing and these juniors shouldn't know the specific situation too clearly.

So the content of the chat was still mainly about the changes in the family during this period. Because he knew that his Fourteenth Brother Lin Maoxiang had fallen, he specifically comforted Lin Changlian and asked in detail about her grandfather's situation.

The three of them didn't stay in their own shop for too long, just accompanied Seventh Uncle to drink tea for over an hour, and finally took their leave on the grounds of going to visit the Stall Square.

Seventh Uncle also asked them to return to the shop at noon, saying he would be the host and treat Lin Zhangqing and the three of them to a spirit meal, but they were all rejected by the few.

The Stall Square was very close to their own shop. Seventh Uncle specifically pointed out the way for them, and it took less than half a quarter of an hour to arrive soon.

When the three of them arrived at the place, it was exactly the busiest time of the day. Looking over, there were at least six or seven hundred stalls, plus the people wandering the stalls.

So this Stall Square now had at least one or two thousand people gathered. When his younger sister and Lin Changlian saw such a lively scene, they were a little excited.

Immediately, they happily held hands and joined this army of treasure hunters at the stalls. Lin Zhangqing could only lag two steps behind, following closely behind them, while his eyes kept scanning the stalls.

After all, wandering the stalls could be considered his favorite activity, and he was the most experienced in this. Many good things on him were found at the stalls, like the eggs of the Purple Spirit Scorpions, the Mysterious Yuan Heavy Water Bottle, and that stone egg that only took in spiritual energy and didn't let it out.

His younger sister and Lin Changlian walked in front, also walking and stopping. They mainly liked to look at some exquisite small things.

As for Lin Zhangqing, he first looked to see if there were any halo items, followed by spirit medicine, spirit plants, and the like, and then spirit crystals and talisman-making materials.

He scanned a stall at a glance and knew if there was anything he wanted. So, after wandering for a while, the two sisters in front hadn't opened for business yet.

He had already collected seven spirit herbs of two types, all of which were not in the space. Although they were only First-Grade spirit herbs, they could be considered a harvest.

After wandering for a good while longer, he estimated that about half of the stalls had been visited, and he harvested over ten more spirit herbs. Moreover, he was lucky enough to buy two relatively rare Purple Smoke Ink Sticks.

This was also a special talisman-making material, which could replace demon blood cinnabar. Moreover, when drawing some special spirit talismans, it could also increase the success rate. It was the favorite thing of talisman makers.

His younger sister and Lin Changlian finally had a harvest. The two of them encountered a stall specifically selling flower essence. The stall owner was two beautiful little girls, but they weren't the two Lin Zhangqing knew.
