Chapter 401: Reporting to the Elders

Unexpectedly, this boss was actually a very beautiful female cultivator, but this didn't have much to do with Lin Zhangqing.

After the two greeted each other, they directly discussed the price of the three raw stones. The boss offered a price of forty thousand spirit stones for the three raw stones.

Lin Zhangqing certainly wouldn't agree. This price was obviously much higher than in other places, and he wasn't a sucker.

And he didn't want to spend too many spirit stones, as that would be too high-profile, so he tried to spend as little as possible!

Finally, after a fierce negotiation, the price was set at thirty-two thousand spirit stones, and Lin Zhangqing paid the spirit stones readily.

He refused the boss's offer of free stone cutting and worked with the clerk to move the three superior-grade raw stones into his storage bag.

The things were finally safe, and his heart was at ease. Only then did he have time to look at Chen Zi Ya.

She bought four more sea clams that were larger than the previous ones. This time it actually cost twelve hundred spirit stones, which felt much more expensive than outside.

However, she didn't open them on the spot. After paying the spirit stones, the shop clerk cut them for her,

and she put them into her spirit beast bag first, then started to enter the market to look for suitable raw stones that caught her eye.

When Lin Zhangqing found her, she was already standing in front of a relatively large raw stone, but he took a look and found that the raw stone didn't have any halo.

So he asked: "Ya'er! Did you see any suitable raw stones?"

Chen Zi Ya shook her head and said: "I went to look at the sea clams just now, and I haven't picked one yet! If I don't see a suitable one, then we can go to the next one to take a look later."

Lin Zhangqing was in a good mood and said with a smile: "Then let's go see them. If none of them are suitable, we'll go to the next one to take a look!"

Chen Zi Ya nodded and found Hu Yunna and Zhao Mingxia with Lin Zhangqing. However, each of them had picked several raw stones, piled them together, and were hesitating now, not knowing which one to choose.

Lin Zhangqing scanned them and found that among the few pieces in Zhao Mingxia's pile, there was a raw stone the size of a human head that emitted a dark golden halo, which should be a medium-grade gold spirit stone.

He didn't expect Zhao Mingxia to have a little bit of luck too. Seeing that the two of them were still hesitating,

Lin Zhangqing felt he should step in, otherwise, he didn't know how long they would be delayed here! So he said: "Are these the ones you picked that you are satisfied with? I see that the two Junior Sisters still look like they can't make up their minds. Do you want me to give you some advice?"

After the two heard this, they both agreed repeatedly. It would be great to have Lin Zhangqing help them choose, and they also trusted him.

So he directly helped them choose, all choosing raw stones of about the same size.

Seeing Lin Zhangqing here, the stone gambling workshop boss gave him face and charged three hundred spirit stones each, which was considered taking care of an old customer.

In fact, if compared to other places, it wasn't much cheaper, but the big bargain had already been taken, so he didn't argue with the boss too much.

He also spent twenty spirit stones at the boss's place to buy two spirit tools specifically for stone cutting for Hu Yunna and Zhao Mingxia, and then the four left the stone gambling workshop.

They headed straight for the next one. He had already thought that if there were no big goods in this one, he would just take a look and not make too many moves, lest he really corrupt them.

After walking two streets, they arrived at another stone gambling workshop. The area and layout were about the same as the previous one, and there were also several pools at the entrance, in which were raised relatively large sea clams.

However, this time Chen Zi Ya didn't look at these things anymore. After refusing the shop clerk who came up to serve, the four of them started looking at the raw stones separately.

Lin Zhangqing was also quite helpless now. After entering, he found that the number of halos here was less, but there were also three raw stones that emitted very bright halos.

Among them, one was not small in volume, half the size of the largest raw stone bought just now, which was equivalent to one-fourth of that giant raw stone.

Lin Zhangqing couldn't possibly give up such a large raw stone. As for the other two smaller ones, he could only give them up. If it were just him alone, he certainly wouldn't waste them and would buy them all.

But now that he was bringing so many Junior Sisters, he really didn't want to corrupt them! So he chose to stop while he was ahead! He asked the shop clerk to find the boss. After negotiation, he bought that superior-grade raw stone for seven thousand five hundred spirit stones.

After putting it into his storage bag, he went to find Chen Zi Ya and the others again and found that the two raw stones in Chen Zi Ya's hand were the same as last time, without any halo.

Lin Zhangqing almost rolled his eyes. He estimated that it was because Chen Zi Ya opened a superior-grade Water Spirit Pearl just now, which used up all her luck for today.

However, this was also good. If she didn't win in gambling, they wouldn't be so keen on it in the future, and they wouldn't be corrupted by him.

Chen Zi Ya still hesitated for a while and then looked at Lin Zhangqing. The meaning was very obvious, which was that she also wanted him to help choose one.

Lin Zhangqing directly chose a small one for her, so the loss would be less. After Chen Zi Ya paid two hundred and eighty spirit stones and refused the suggestion of free stone cutting, the four left directly.

Unknowingly, they were delayed for quite some time. Lin Zhangqing and Chen Zi Ya still owed Hu Yunna and the others a wedding banquet!

Now the time was just right, so after seeking their opinions, the four went to the spirit meal shop from yesterday together.

Lin Zhangqing ordered a very rich table of spirit meals, but didn't order spirit wine. The four spent more than an hour before they finished off this big table.

After they left the spirit meal shop, the sky was almost dark. However, at this time, Lin Zhangqing actually wanted to return to the inn quickly.

He wanted to quickly throw the superior-grade spirit stone raw ore bought today into the deep pit and let Lin Changliu attract and digest it.

And Lin Changliu had also been reminding him that the inner space used to have more than nine thousand acres, and it was still a bit short of ten thousand acres.

This time Lin Changliu should be quite anxious, because the superior-grade spirit stones harvested this time could be considered the biggest harvest Lin Zhangqing had ever had.

The four walked slowly toward the inn. Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived at the inn lobby, Mu Jiuyin and Mu Xiaoxiao were already waiting there for them.

Lin Zhangqing's first reaction was to glance at Chen Zi Ya and found that she still had a smiling expression.

At this time, Mu Jiuyin and Mu Xiaoxiao greeted everyone.

Then Mu Jiuyin said to Lin Zhangqing and Chen Zi Ya: "Senior Brother Gao! Ancestor already knows about you and Xiao Xiao.

"She is currently having tea with Yunxia Zhenren, so let us go over together and meet them!"
