Chapter 425: Thunder-Shocking Drum

Lin Zhangqing also nodded and replied indifferently: "It was nothing, just luck!"

Afterwards, he ignored him. He didn't want to have too much interaction with the people of Linyuan, so he simply treated him coldly.

Seeing someone below redeeming their prizes, he immediately took out his own voucher, found the cultivator he had placed his bet with just moments ago, and exchanged it for 300,000 spirit stones.

Then he immediately left the scene. He knew that many cultivators were definitely watching him right now.

So he couldn't return to the inn where Chen Zi Ya and the others were staying, otherwise his identity might very well be exposed.

Therefore, although he was walking toward the South Gate, he didn't intend to rendezvous with Chen Zi Ya and the others.

Instead, he decided to find an inn near the South Gate to stay in first. He still had a few tails following him.

However, they had been following for quite a while, and he was getting a bit annoyed, so he simply stopped walking, turned around, and looked at them.

Those people hadn't expected Lin Zhangqing to not play by the rules, and for a moment, they couldn't react and just stood there stunned.

Lin Zhangqing glanced at them and said indifferently: "Whoever continues to follow me, I will invite them to take a trip to the Life-and-Death Stage. Everyone, consider this carefully!"

At this, a Foundation Establishment late-stage cultivator behind him hurriedly explained: "Fellow Daoist, you have completely misunderstood! The vermin in Linyuan City now wouldn't dare to provoke you again. That Zhuang Hongfu who died at your hands was already considered one of the more formidable ones.

In the future, without eighty or ninety percent certainty, those people absolutely wouldn't dare to appear before you again.

We are all teams that hunt demons at sea. Seeing your extraordinary strength, we followed you, hoping to find an opportunity to talk with you.

To see if we could invite you to join our team to hunt sea demons together. We didn't have any bad intentions, please don't misunderstand, Fellow Daoist!"

The other few cultivators behind also hurriedly spoke up to clarify, fearing that Lin Zhangqing would have a misunderstanding; some even directly reported their team's name and benefits.

It seemed they were likely somewhat famous in Linyuan City, hoping to attract Lin Zhangqing to join their team in this way.

However, it was a pity that he had no intention of staying here at all. He was leaving tomorrow and didn't want to invite any more trouble.

Therefore, Lin Zhangqing expressed his refusal clearly and decisively, and then left.

Those who had been following him behind were also very sensible and did not continue to follow him, but he still didn't feel at ease.

Just at this moment, Lin Zhangqing saw a tall and eye-catching building; it was precisely a shop of the Wanbao Pavilion.

A thought occurred to him, and feeling this was an opportunity, he immediately stepped into this Wanbao Pavilion shop.

Just as he entered, a Foundation Establishment female cultivator came up to greet him and said: "Welcome, Fellow Daoist, to Wanbao Pavilion. Please come up to the third floor for tea!"

Lin Zhangqing nodded and followed the female cultivator up to a small private room on the third floor.

After the maid served the spirit tea and left, the female cultivator spoke: "My surname is Huang. I wonder what you need, Fellow Daoist? Please give me a general idea, and I will see if the pavilion has it and try my best to help you find it."

This cultivator surnamed Huang from Wanbao Pavilion was quite beautiful and gentle, and Lin Zhangqing appreciated her somewhat.

However, he was taking the opportunity to come in to buy thunder-attribute spiritual objects and borrow a path, so he spoke directly: "I need some thunder-attribute spiritual artifacts, or thunder-attribute spiritual objects—either will do! If you have them here, please help me prepare some, Fellow Daoist Huang. Spirit stones are not an issue.

Also, I am in a bit of a hurry and have other matters to attend to later, so please don't delay too long, Fellow Daoist. Sorry for the trouble!"

The female cultivator surnamed Huang was slightly surprised upon hearing this, but she did not show it.

Instead, she politely agreed and then excused herself to go prepare the items Lin Zhangqing needed.

Not long after, she returned, carrying a relatively large tray with four thunder-attribute spiritual artifacts on it.

Knowing Lin Zhangqing was in a hurry, she picked one up and introduced it directly: "This is a second-tier mid-grade spiritual artifact, the Thunder Snake Whip.

It is refined from the tendons and skin of a second-tier thunder snake, and it is worth 10,000 low-grade spirit stones!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhangqing couldn't help but frown. This price was more than double that of Qingyun Corner, but he only nodded, signaling her to introduce the next spiritual artifact.

Seeing that Lin Zhangqing did not explicitly say he wanted to buy it, she thought he didn't like it, so she picked up another one and introduced it: "This is a second-tier upper-grade spiritual artifact, the Soul-Controlling Beast Token.

Inside, it seals the soul of a third-tier early-stage Golden Infant Beast. Because only the soul is sealed, its strength is equivalent to a second-tier late-stage.

The soul of the Golden Infant Beast can emit Geng Metal Divine Thunder, but after emitting three, it needs a period of time to recover and recuperate.

The length of the recuperation time depends on the richness of the thunder-attribute spiritual energy in the surrounding environment; in a normal environment, it requires one month.

Because this is a special spiritual artifact, the price is slightly more expensive; purchasing it requires 30,000 low-grade spirit stones."

Lin Zhangqing was quite interested in this item; it had the same effect as the Thunder Horn, and he had already decided in his heart to buy it.

So, after taking it from the female cultivator surnamed Huang and playing with it for a moment, he said: "I'll take this Soul-Controlling Beast Token!"

The female cultivator surnamed Huang was overjoyed upon hearing this, as if encouraged, and picked up the next spiritual artifact, continuing her introduction: "This is a second-tier top-grade spiritual artifact, the Thunder-Shocking Drum! The drum body and drumsticks are refined from second-tier top-grade Thunder-Shocking Wood, and the drum skin is the belly skin of a Howling Sky Roar. Using this top-grade spiritual artifact requires relatively abundant mana.

Because with every strike, it will emit a Chaotic Thunder Sound that expands in all directions; this is a type of group-attack spell that does not distinguish between friend and foe.

Ordinary Qi Refining stage cultivators, hearing one or two sounds of the Chaotic Thunder Sound, would very likely be shaken to death, and Foundation Establishment early-stage cultivators probably wouldn't be able to hear many sounds either.

The remaining specifics will require you to spend some time exploring it yourself after purchasing it, Fellow Daoist.

Therefore, every strike requires the consumption of corresponding mana; cultivators with little mana won't be able to strike it many times.

Moreover, this top-grade spiritual artifact also belongs to the category of special spiritual artifacts, so the price is relatively expensive; purchasing it requires 55,000 low-grade spirit stones."

Upon hearing this price, Lin Zhangqing's heart still skipped a beat; it was truly ridiculously expensive.

However, this spiritual artifact was also quite good. In the future, he would definitely have a relatively long period of time wandering alone, so using this item would mean he wouldn't have to worry about accidentally injuring his companions.
