Chapter 40: Attacked on the Way Back

After listening to Xiao Ma's words, Lin Zhangqing thought for a while. He said: "Okay, I believe your Myriad Treasures Pavilion has this ability. I have three century-old Vermilion Fruits to sell to your pavilion."

Xiao Ma hurriedly said: "Then I will go and invite Elder Ji to come and take a look. If there is no problem, we will negotiate the price."

Lin Zhangqing nodded to indicate agreement.

Taking advantage of the clerk walking away, Lin Zhangqing took out a jade box containing three century-old Vermilion Fruits from his storage bag and placed it on the table.

After a while, the clerk led an old man in, who should be the Elder Ji he mentioned who was responsible for appraising.

The old man didn't speak, nodded slightly to Lin Zhangqing, and opened the jade box on the table. Then, the three Vermilion Fruits were carefully checked one by one by the old man.

After confirming there was no problem, the old man opened his mouth and said: "Confirmed to be century-old Vermilion Fruits without error. According to the transaction prices in recent years, it is recommended that the acquisition price should not exceed 2000 spirit stones each."

After speaking, he left on his own.

The clerk behind him said respectfully: "Thank you, Elder Ji, you've worked hard."

Then he said to Lin Zhangqing: "Guest, how about the Myriad Treasures Pavilion acquires them at 2000 spirit stones per Vermilion Fruit?"

Lin Zhangqing considered it and agreed to this proposal.

He directly poured out 4000 spirit stones from his storage bag, made up 10000 spirit stones, and bought the fifty cubic meter spirit insect bag.

The clerk collected the spirit stones and the jade box containing the three Vermilion Fruits. He also respectfully handed the spirit insect bag to Lin Zhangqing. This transaction was considered complete.

Then he took out a VIP card specially made by the Myriad Treasures Pavilion and gave it to Lin Zhangqing to drip blood and refine. This VIP card could only be used by the first cultivator who refined it. Others couldn't refine it again after getting it in their hands, and couldn't activate it either.

Since there was a VIP card, the two contract inheritances naturally had to be discounted by 5%, and he paid another 2660 spirit stones. It could be said that the spirit stones in Lin Zhangqing's storage bag had dropped to single digits.

He handed the VIP card to Xiao Ma and asked him to register the record of this purchase with a secret method.

Lin Zhangqing said goodbye and left the Myriad Treasures Pavilion. Xiao Ma respectfully sent him to the main entrance and told Lin Zhangqing that he could name him directly next time he came.

Lin Zhangqing nodded and agreed, promising to look for him next time he came. After all, they had already had one transaction and had a certain foundation of trust.

He walked quickly toward the meeting place and saw that everyone was there. This time, Lin Zhangqing was the last one to arrive.

Lin Changlian said: "Ninth brother, why are you so slow? We have been here for a while."

Lin Zhangjie also joined in the fun: "Yes, ninth brother, you have to be punished for being late."

Lin Zhanghao and Lin Zhangyuan also echoed.

Lin Zhangqing hurriedly apologized to everyone, promising to take out good tea and good fruits to entertain everyone after returning.

Only then did everyone agree to let him go.

Because the others were not interested in the arena battles of the Qingyun Sect, they didn't go to watch them.

Otherwise, Lin Zhangqing would have really wanted to go and see, and by the way, witness the fighting level of scattered cultivators and sect disciples.

The five of them walked toward the exit of the market together. After leaving the market, they urged the spirit boat and flew toward Nine Peaks Mountain.

After flying for a distance, Lin Changqing let Chuyi out and let it fly to the high sky to give early warning. Everyone took turns controlling the spirit boat. After an hour, Lin Changqing suddenly said: "Everyone be careful, someone is rushing toward us.

They are ten miles behind. Everyone don't be afraid, just listen to my command. Everyone put on defense talismans first, Diamond Talismans, Thick Earth Shields, etc., are all fine. If you have them, you can put on a few more.

We will work together to use spiritual talismans to focus fire on one person later. Everyone prepare three Fireball Talismans; five people focusing fire will definitely be able to kill one.

Dharma artifacts should also be prepared. Don't fight hard later, just be careful to save your lives and fight while moving, creating opportunities for my spirit insects to sneak attack.

Now let's find a favorable terrain to hide first. Everyone don't be afraid. We will focus fire on the one who speaks first later, I guarantee there will be no mistake."

Choosing a valley with relatively dense trees, they landed and hid. Lin Zhangqing immediately released all 124 Purple Crystal Scorpions, which immediately disappeared like fish entering the sea.

The ground, tree trunks, and trees around everyone were all invisible Purple Crystal Scorpions. This terrain was simply a natural hunting ground for Purple Crystal Scorpions.

Lin Zhangqing also prepared the Purple Bamboo Sword and the Golden Thread Escape Light Needle. Although it was his first battle, Lin Zhangqing was surprisingly calm.

It was Fifth Brother Lin Zhangjie who was trembling slightly. Lin Zhangqing patted his shoulder lightly and said: "It's okay, we have calculated against the unprepared, we will definitely win."

Lin Zhangjie nodded and relaxed a little.

After waiting for a while, a spirit boat landed in the valley, and six cultivators came down. He only heard a cultivator with a full beard say: "Everyone be careful, these few little guys are quite smart, don't capsize in the gutter."

Another voice sounded: "Don't worry, Boss Chen, they won't capsize. A few little babies who have just been weaned actually dare to swagger and leave with thousands of spirit stones. Isn't this just sending spirit stones to us!"

The remaining few all laughed, saying that a few little guys didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth.

And they shouted to Lin Zhangqing and the others, asking Lin Zhangqing and the others to hand over their storage bags, and they could spare their lives.

The reply to them was Lin Zhangqing's one word: "Hit!" As soon as the voice fell, fifteen fireballs rushed directly toward their Boss Chen. The bearded man didn't expect these little guys to be so reckless. He only had one layer of Diamond Talisman on his body, which couldn't block so many Fireball Techniques at all, and his body was directly exploded into several pieces.

Taking advantage of them being attracted by the sound and light of the fire waves, Lin Zhangqing's three Golden Thread Escape Light Needles directly attacked the cultivator closest to him. One layer of Diamond Talisman couldn't block it at all. This kind of needle-shaped dharma artifact that specifically broke shields and protective covers hit, and the man groaned and fell down.

At this moment, the remaining four robber cultivators finally reacted. They scrambled to change positions and dodge, while also activating their spirit talismans and dharma artifacts to attack Lin Zhangqing and his companions. The little partners all remembered Lin Zhangqing's instructions to prioritize survival and skirmishing, so they should be fine for a short time.

Lin Zhangqing himself also urged the Purple Bamboo Sword to assassinate the one with the highest cultivation base among them, while his body continuously moved with the Swift Wind Step, not giving others a chance to attack him.

His divine sense was also closely watching the situation of his partners. In fact, now as long as Lin Zhangqing's heart moved, he could end the battle. Not to mention that Lin Zhangliu could string them all together and suck them dry, just the Purple Crystal Scorpions on their bodies were enough for them to drink a pot.

But the opportunity was rare, so he should leave a chance for his partners to exercise. After all, no matter how much they practiced usually, it couldn't compare to the reality of this real-life battle.

Here, it was Lin Changlian who made the breakthrough first. Unexpectedly, she scattered a handful of spiritual talismans and then urged her flying sword to rush directly toward her opponent. The opposite robber cultivator was made flustered by this handful of spiritual talismans and couldn't take care of Lin Changlian's flying sword, being directly pierced and nailed to the tree trunk by the flying sword.

Now it became four against two. Lin Zhangqing had been controlling the one with the highest cultivation base, not letting him intervene in the battles of others.

He expressed gratification at Lin Changlian achieving victory so quickly; she really had fighting talent.

The others performed generally, their fighting was tied up, which might also have something to do with facing life and death for the first time!

After waiting for a while, with Lin Changlian's joining, they quickly achieved results again. This time, it was still a handful of spiritual talismans rushing toward the fighting robber cultivator, and then the flying sword pierced and attacked. That robber cultivator had been entangled with Lin Zhangjie.

He didn't react at all and was directly pierced through the chest by the flying sword. Lin Zhangjie added another sword to his head. This time it was four against one, and there was no suspense at all. The last one also died under the swords of the four.
