Chapter 52

Xiao Ma asked Lin Zhangqing what else he wanted to buy.

Lin Zhangqing thought for a moment before saying, "Do you have one-time high-power dharma artifacts like Heavenly Thunder Beads here, or any thunder-attribute spirit objects or materials? You can bring them up for me to see."

"Yes, we have such one-time high-power dharma artifacts in the pavilion now. Both Heavenly Thunder Beads and Yin Thunder Beads are in stock, 500 spirit stones each. I need to check the records for thunder-attribute spirit objects and materials," Xiao Ma said respectfully.

Lin Zhangqing calculated slightly before saying, "I want ten Heavenly Thunder Beads and ten Yin Thunder Beads. As for the thunder-attribute spirit objects and materials, I'll decide how many to take after I see the actual items."

Xiao Ma promised and then went down to prepare the pills and spirit objects Lin Zhangqing needed.

Before long, he walked in carrying a large tray. It was full of bottles and jade boxes, all of which were the pills and 20 one-time high-power dharma artifacts Lin Zhangqing had just confirmed.

He checked every item in front of Lin Zhangqing, and after confirming there were no problems, he handed them to Lin Zhangqing.

Including the twelve dharma artifacts just now, plus the metal-attribute defensive dharma artifact given as an extra, it cost a total of 21200 spirit stones.

This was still without buying thunder-attribute spirit objects and materials, plus the 1500 spirit stones for the raw stones just now, the 30000 spirit stones given by Grandfather would soon be spent!

After the transaction was completed, Lin Zhangqing took the initiative to ask about the situation of the thunder-attribute spirit objects and materials.

Xiao Ma said that he was already preparing samples and they would be sent over in a while. Before long, a maid walked in with a tray, handed it to Xiao Ma, and then bowed and exited the private room.

Xiao Ma lifted the red cloth on top. On the tray were three jade boxes. He opened the first jade box, and inside was the Thunder Spirit Pearl that Lin Zhangqing was familiar with.

He opened the second jade box, which was a golden crystal with faint electric arcs. Lin Zhangqing guessed it should be a second-tier high-grade Thunder Gold Crystal, which could be used to refine second-tier spiritual artifacts.

The third one was a long jade box. Opening it, inside was a piece of cyan semi-crystallized thing. He really didn't recognize this one.

At this time, Xiao Ma introduced, "This is a high-grade Thunder Spirit Pearl, nurtured by a first-tier high-grade thunder clam. It takes decades or even a hundred years to form a high-grade Thunder Spirit Pearl. Each high-grade Thunder Spirit Pearl sells for 150 spirit stones.

This is a second-tier high-grade spirit material, Thunder Gold Crystal. The thunder-attribute horn dharma artifact just now had this material added to it. Each portion sells for 1000 spirit stones.

The last one is the wood core of a second-tier high-grade thunder-struck wood, which is also the main material that can be used to refine second-tier high-grade thunder-attribute flying swords. There is only one portion of this, selling for 2000 spirit stones.

Which of these thunder-attribute spirit objects do you think are suitable for you?"

Lin Zhangqing thought for a moment and said, "I'll take the second-tier high-grade thunder-struck wood, and I also want 36 high-grade Thunder Spirit Pearls!"

Xiao Ma immediately agreed and went down to prepare. Before long, he returned and placed the 36 high-grade Thunder Spirit Pearls on the table for Lin Zhangqing to count and inspect.

Lin Zhangqing carefully inspected them, and after confirming that the Thunder Spirit Pearls and the thunder-struck wood core were fine, he handed the spirit stones and the VIP card to Xiao Ma.

Xiao Ma recorded the amount of this transaction on Lin Zhangqing's VIP card using a secret method, and the transaction was completed.

After the transaction was completed, Lin Zhangqing prepared to say goodbye and leave. Xiao Ma was about to respectfully see him to the door when he was stopped by Lin Zhangqing, who told him not to see him off whenever he came to Wanbao Pavilion in the future.

Then he walked out of Wanbao Pavilion quietly by himself; he didn't want to attract anyone's attention.

The purpose of coming to the market this time had been successfully completed, so Lin Zhangqing didn't delay any longer and began to walk toward the entrance of the market.

Along the way, he kept using his divine sense to confirm whether anyone was following him. Fortunately, everything was calm and peaceful around him.

At the entrance, he released the flying boat dharma artifact and flew toward the Nine Peaks Mountain. Only after he couldn't see the market did he release First-Born and let it fly to high altitude to warn him.

Then he hurried all the way to Nine Peaks Mountain, finding a place to recover his spiritual energy halfway.

Fortunately, nothing happened on the return journey this time, and he successfully entered the Mountain-Protecting Great Array and returned safely to Nine Peaks Mountain.

He hurriedly went home to report his safety to his family. Seeing Lin Zhangqing return, his family members were obviously relieved.

Although they knew Lin Zhangqing had enough means to protect himself, he was still too young, so they couldn't help but worry. Seeing his family, Lin Zhangqing almost couldn't help but take out the dharma artifacts, pills, and one-time high-power dharma artifacts he bought at Wanbao Pavilion to distribute to everyone.

Fortunately, he held back. It was better to hand them over to Grandfather and let him distribute them to everyone!

If Lin Zhangqing were to distribute them, he certainly wouldn't be able to explain the source of so many spirit stones, so it was most appropriate for Grandfather to come forward.

His younger sister blinked her eyes and stared at Lin Zhangqing. Lin Zhangqing pretended not to see it.

His younger sister changed her angle, but Lin Zhangqing still ignored her.

Until she couldn't help it and called out, "Bro~ther!"

Lin Zhangqing had a headache; he had forgotten the gift he promised her. He could only tell her to come find him in his room after dinner, and he had a secret gift for her.

In order to get the gift sooner, Lin Changling finished her meal in a few bites and then stared at Lin Zhangqing.

Being stared at by his younger sister like this, Lin Zhangqing had no choice but to speed up his eating. As soon as he put down his rice bowl, he was pulled into her room by his younger sister.

Lin Zhangqing was speechless and could only take out a Heavenly Thunder Bead and give it to her as a gift.

He taught her how to refine and use it, and urged her that this was a trump card to be kept at the bottom of the box, not to be used in normal times, and only to be taken out when encountering danger.

Lin Changling was quite happy to receive this gift, which obviously exceeded her psychological expectations; what Lin Zhangqing said yesterday was just a small gift.

Hearing her brother's instructions, her little head nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

After comforting his younger sister, Lin Zhangqing returned to his room.

After counting his storage bag, he found that he had returned to the state of being a pauper.

There were only a few spirit stones left in his pocket. 30,000 spirit stones were spent in one day, and he even had to pay a little more. This thing was really not durable! He took out the two thunder-attribute dharma artifacts he bought today, compared them, put down the Golden Thunder Sword, and studied the one called Thunder Horn. He looked at it back and forth but didn't see anything special.

He tried to input five-element spiritual energy into the horn and could feel a force of thunder gradually forming inside the horn.

However, he felt that the input spiritual energy and the generated thunder were not proportional! This power was only a bit stronger than Palm Thunder.

He tried to mobilize the thunder spiritual energy in his acupoints and input it into the horn. This time the result was a bit better than last time, but it only saved some spiritual energy, probably saving about half compared to five-element spiritual energy.

Lin Zhangqing was a bit disappointed, but this thing could emit a weakened version of Geng Metal Divine Thunder, which could be used to cover up Lin Zhangqing's Geng Metal Divine Thunder.

After thinking about it, he decided to replace a medium-grade Thunder Spirit Pearl with the Thunder Horn.

After making up his mind, Lin Zhangqing began to refine the Thunder Horn. After spending some time completing the refinement.

He began to imprint the incantation of the Nailing Spirit Secret Method onto the horn. As the secret method was completed, Lin Zhangqing replaced the medium-grade Thunder Spirit Pearl.

As soon as the Thunder Horn entered the acupoint, it began to absorb the thunder spiritual energy in the acupoint. Before long, it had sucked dry the spiritual energy of one acupoint. Lin Zhangqing's heart moved, and he began to mobilize thunder spiritual energy from the other two acupoints.

However, this was far from enough! Lin Zhangqing immediately sat cross-legged and circulated the Thunder True Scripture, converting spiritual energy into thunder spiritual energy continuously.

He injected it into the Thunder Horn. This process lasted all night and didn't end until early the next morning.

Circulating the Thunder True Scripture continuously all night almost exhausted Lin Zhangqing, but fortunately, he finally made it through.
