Chapter 420: Failed Fishing Operation

Lin Zhangqing nodded: "Actually, those people just bully cultivators who have just arrived here and don't know the situation!"

"It can be considered that they are playing on the edge of Linyuan City's regulations! If they really encounter the patrolling Black Armor Army, I estimate those people will lose a layer of skin even if they don't die!"

Hu Yunna also nodded and continued: "But this time, I truly broadened my horizons! No wonder the Golden Core True Persons of the sect specifically instructed not to be easily provoked by anyone and agree to go to the Life and Death Stage!"

"Not only would all the spiritual objects on one's body be lost, but one would also have to pay with one's life. This is truly too disgusting!"

Lin Zhangqing also felt a bit unhappy in his heart, but now it was better to return to the inn first!

He also felt a bit regretful. If it had just been him alone, and he had been wearing the Hidden Spirit Mask, that would have been fine.

That way, he could have acted unscrupulously and guaranteed to leave those people on the Life and Death Stage.

The group didn't say anything more, so he took Chen Zi Ya and the other three and returned to the inn along the original path.

The four of them tacitly all went to Chen Zi Ya's room. Lin Zhangqing took the five pairs of Phoenix-Tail Conchs out of his spirit beast bag.

Then he took the third-stage pair in his hand, gave one to Chen Zi Ya, and injected mana into the one in his own hand.

After hearing the faint sound of waves, he spoke into the conch. At this moment, a magical scene appeared!

The conch in Chen Zi Ya's hand immediately flashed with a faint blue light, and then Lin Zhangqing's voice came from inside.

Seeing such a fun thing, Hu Yunna and Zhao Liyu also took a pair of conchs and played with them, one sentence after another.

This thing was truly quite convenient. However, even the third-stage Phoenix-Tail Conchs could only transmit sound within ten thousand li.

This range was truly too small for the vast cultivation world. If the transmission range could be a hundred or a thousand times larger, that would be even better! Suddenly, Lin Zhangqing's heart stirred. Should he take two pairs and raise them to try? Every once in a while, feed them some Hundred Flowers Drunken Soul Wine to improve their grade.

Anyway, these Phoenix-Tail Conchs didn't have any other abilities, so there was no need to pay too much attention to preserving any potential for them.

As long as he helped them raise their grade, the transmission range would naturally increase! The more he thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed, so he decided to do it! However, there were only five pairs now, and he still had to share them with Hu Yunna and Zhao Liyu, so there would be even fewer left! So he decided to go out again in a moment to see if he could collect as many conchs as possible.

These things were truly very practical. If he took them back to the family in the future, their effect would be even greater.

But before that, he had to divide these conchs first. After thinking slightly, he gave Hu Yunna and Zhao Liyu each a pair of second-stage conchs.

And he left one of the third-stage conchs with Chen Zi Ya, so that the two of them could contact each other at any time within ten thousand li! Hu Yunna and Zhao Liyu both liked them very much and wanted to give Lin Zhangqing spirit stones, but they were all sternly refused by him!

After the four of them drank a pot of spirit tea, they each went back to rest. Lin Zhangqing said a word to Chen Zi Ya and also returned to his own room.

However, he didn't stay inside for long. He changed his clothes, put away the Hidden Spirit Mask, and left the inn quietly.

When he took the three Junior Sisters to the stall square in the morning, the few of them walked and looked, so the speed wasn't fast.

This time, it was just him alone. To save time, he headed straight for the stall square at a fast pace. This time, it only took him half an hour to arrive. His goal was also very clear: to find and buy Phoenix-Tail Conchs of all grades.

At this time, there weren't as many stalls as in the morning, but it didn't matter. He immediately seized the time to look through them.

Sweeping his gaze over, as long as there were no halo items, no spirit medicines, no spirit grasses, and no conchs at the stall, he directly looked at the next one.

So the speed was still quite fast. After spending nearly two hours, Lin Zhangqing finally finished looking at all the stalls.

The harvest was truly quite good. The first-stage conchs were scattered, and he collected twenty-five pairs, each pair costing about one thousand low-grade spirit stones.

And the second-stage conchs were very rare, totaling only four pairs found, each pair costing about twelve thousand spirit stones.

However, this time, he didn't see any third-stage conchs at all! It seemed this thing was truly relatively rare. No wonder the stall owner in the morning said they were precious! All these conchs were collected in pieces from various stalls, and the spirit stones paid each time weren't too many.

It wasn't so eye-catching, so until he left the stall square, no one followed him to find trouble.

This made Lin Zhangqing feel quite disappointed. He had vaguely had the idea of luring those people to find him, but unexpectedly, no one took the bait!

It was a waste of all the preparations he had made. However, after thinking slightly, he understood that it might be his own reason.

He had already told those people that he was going to find the patrolling Black Armor Army. Where would those stink bugs dare to stay around the stall square? They must have run away long ago.

It was truly too speechless; he had wasted so much thought. However, now was not the time to think about these things.

He prepared to take advantage of the fact that there was still a bit of time, and the three Junior Sisters weren't with him—a rare opportunity! So he prepared to stop by the stone gambling workshop to take a look.

On the way here, he had already seen a stone gambling workshop with a very large scale and had long since kept it in mind.

After spending a quarter of an hour, he arrived at the stone gambling workshop. Stepping inside, the space inside was truly very large. Looking over, quite a few people were selecting raw stones inside.

However, these were not what Lin Zhangqing cared about. What caught his eyes this time were over a hundred colorful halos of different brightness.

His heart was already excited. After waving his hand at the shop clerk who came to greet him, signaling him not to bother,

he entered immediately. After strolling around inside, Lin Zhangqing knew what was what.

There were a total of fifteen raw stones emitting bright halos. Excluding eight of them that were relatively small, seven relatively large premium raw stones remained.

Among these seven raw stones, the smallest was as big as two or three heads, and the largest was already close to the size of that giant one.

Lin Zhangqing forcibly suppressed his excited mood. After studying the seven raw stones he had taken a fancy to in a pretentious manner,

he gathered them into two piles. As for why he had to make them into two piles, it was because among the seven, there were actually two very huge raw stones.
