Chapter 294

~9 min read 1,650 words

Lin Zhangqing talked with everyone for a while longer, gave some instructions on things that needed attention, and then tidied up the tea set, and everyone returned to their rooms.

Returning to his own room, Lin Zhangqing also reflected on himself: was he being a bit too impatient with his younger sister?

After all, she was only twelve years old, but once he thought of the responsibilities she carried, he had to harden his heart again.

He sighed in his heart and stopped dwelling on this issue!

After checking the room twice with his divine sense and finding no problems, he activated the Small Five Elements Illusion Array and entered the inner space directly.

Because he had just come in not long ago, the deer didn't come over to pester him; only Lu Xiaoling and Lu Xiaomin came to his side.

However, he was still quite happy, but he couldn't feed them anything else, otherwise the other three-colored deer would crowd around.

Therefore, he just hugged the two little ones, stroked their fur, and played with them for a while before getting up and walking toward the edge of the deep pit.

Lu Xiaoling and Lu Xiaomin followed behind him, but once they reached a certain distance, they stopped following.

Seeing their behavior, Lin Zhangqing was still very happy in his heart; it seemed that the live demonstration last time was very effective.

Arriving near the deep pit, he opened his storage bag and let three pieces of high-grade spirit stone raw ore fall directly into the deep pit, letting Lin Changliu absorb and digest them.

After waiting in place for a while, feeling the feedback of happiness and joy from Lin Changliu in his heart, Lin Zhangqing's mouth couldn't help but reveal a smile.

Thinking of the box of green jade tea that had been taken away by his younger sister Lin Changling just now, he went to the room where the spoils were kept, took a box of spirit tea that Zhao Liyu had prepared, and then exited the inner space directly.

Returning to the room, the next step was the time for cultivating spells, divine abilities, and the Thunder True Scripture, especially the cultivation of the Thunder True Scripture, which he would not stop casually.

Because every time he cultivated the Thunder True Scripture, it was extremely hard, but every time he could truly and clearly feel the progress.

Lin Zhangqing liked this feeling of becoming stronger bit by bit the most, which was also the reason why he liked cultivation so much.

By the time he finished his cultivation, it was already late at night. After cleaning his body outside, he lay down to rest!

Early the next morning, Lin Zhangqing first completed his basic cultivation, and then went to the living room to meet up with his little companions.

Today, when his younger sister Lin Changling saw him, she let out a "Hmph!" and then turned her head to ignore him.

Lin Zhangqing couldn't help but laugh and simply ignored her too. He knew his younger sister best; she would automatically be fine in two days, but if you went to pay attention to her, she would definitely become even more energetic.

After everyone had arrived, they went together to the innkeeper to check out of the courtyard and headed straight for the gambling stone workshop.

When leaving the inn, Lin Zhangqing swept his divine sense around and quickly found two people tailing them in a nearby alley.

However, he didn't alert the enemy, but acted as if he didn't know, preparing to see if they would come to deliver spirit stones and dharma artifacts on the return journey.

Of course, this was also a small exercise and a small surprise that Lin Zhangqing had specifically prepared for his little companions.

When they arrived at the gambling stone workshop, it had just opened. Today, Lin Zhangqing and the others could be considered the first batch of customers for the gambling stone workshop.

The shop clerk who received them yesterday had very sharp eyes and recognized them immediately, and then immediately greeted them with a beaming smile.

He respectfully greeted them: "Welcome, six honored guests!"

Lin Zhangqing nodded and said: "We can be considered old acquaintances. The three people behind me are also here at a place like the gambling stone workshop for the first time.

Just like yesterday, introduce the rules of this gambling stone trade to them in detail. We will come to find you again when we want to buy raw stones later!"

The shop clerk nodded repeatedly and said happily: "Introducing the rules is simple, don't worry! Leave it to me! No problem."

Then he turned his head and said to Lin Changjie and the others: "Fifth Brother, let this shop clerk introduce the rules to you first. Of course, if you don't understand anything, you can also ask him.

After there are no problems, you can start selecting raw stones yourselves! I will take the two of them to find the boss, and I will come to find you when we are done later." Lin Changjie and the three of them were actually already eager to try when they arrived here, wishing they could go in and select raw stones sooner.

Hearing Lin Zhangqing say this, the three of them nodded repeatedly in agreement.

After saying a few more words to Lin Zhangqing and the two younger sisters, they went in with the shop clerk.

Lin Zhangqing summoned another shop clerk to take the three of them to find the boss.

The boss was in a small elegant room in the gambling stone workshop. When he saw the three of them, the boss was quite surprised.

However, he immediately reacted, thinking that they had come to find him again today, which was very likely because they had struck it rich with the gambling stones.

He hurriedly greeted them enthusiastically and prepared to make tea for his guests, but was stopped by Lin Zhangqing.

He wouldn't casually try things at the entrance outside, so he simply stopped the boss, otherwise it would be awkward if he didn't drink it later.

He spoke directly: "Boss, the raw stone we bought yesterday was lucky enough to yield a large piece of medium-grade fire spirit stone raw ore.

I want you to take a look and see how many low-grade spirit stones it can be exchanged for. If the price is right, I'll exchange it with you, so we don't have to make another trip to the Wanbao Pavilion."

Lin Zhangqing's words were telling the boss to think more carefully when making an offer; if the price wasn't right, they would go to the Wanbao Pavilion! The boss naturally understood this meaning and nodded repeatedly: "Coming to find me is the right choice; I guarantee the price offered will be the highest."

Lin Zhangqing nodded and signaled to Lin Changlian. When Lin Changlian took out that piece of medium-grade spirit stone raw ore,

the boss immediately obtained their consent, picked up the spirit stone raw ore, carefully checked it from top to bottom and left to right, and after confirming there were no problems, put the raw ore back.

After considering for a while, he spoke up: "How about exchanging this medium-grade spirit stone raw ore for twenty-eight thousand low-grade spirit stones? What do the three of you think?"

Hearing the boss's opening offer, Lin Zhangqing's heart stirred. It seemed that the medium-grade spirit stones that could be cut from this raw ore were even more than what Lin Zhangqing and the others had estimated.

So Lin Zhangqing said: "That's quite a bit less than we estimated. Thirty-five thousand low-grade spirit stones at the minimum!"

The boss said irritably: "Thirty thousand spirit stones, even Wanbao Pavilion wouldn't offer more than me! If you don't believe me, go and ask them yourself!"

Lin Zhangqing glanced at him, "Thirty-two thousand spirit stones to exchange with you, and we still need to buy some spirit stones here later."

The boss also stared at him and said: "Thirty-one thousand spirit stones at most. If you want more, go sell it to Wanbao Pavilion!"

Although Lin Zhangqing knew that the boss must still be making a profit, he also felt that it should be about the bottom line.

He turned to look at the two younger sisters, and both nodded to him, knowing that they accepted this price.

So he said to the boss: "Alright, listening to you, thirty-one thousand low-grade spirit stones it is, exchanged with you!"

Only then did the boss have a bit of a smile. He nodded and paid thirty-one thousand spirit stones to Lin Zhangqing.

Lin Zhangqing didn't pass it through his hands, but directly divided it in half on the spot and gave it to his younger sister and Lin Changlian.

The boss hurriedly took away that piece of medium-grade fire spirit stone raw ore, looking so nervous.

It made Lin Zhangqing suspect whether he had been tricked by him, and whether this thing had been sold too cheaply.

He decided that if there was an opportunity next time, he would get a piece and try it out at Wanbao Pavilion, and then he would roughly know whether he had been tricked.

However, Lin Changjie and the others still needed to buy raw stones later, so Lin Zhangqing continued: "Boss, remember to give us a cheaper price when we buy raw stones later; we are your old customers after all!"

The boss returned to his smiling appearance, waved his hand and said: "No problem at all! Just come and support my business more in the future!"

Lin Zhangqing and the three of them readily agreed. Anyway, there was only one gambling stone workshop in Pingyang Market, so they would still have to come here if they wanted to play next time.
