Chapter 529: Market Shopping Spree
Near dusk, Lin Zhangqing successfully returned to Kaiyuan Market, used his access permit, and opened a room in another inn.
Still the old rules, he carefully checked the inside and outside of the room with his divine sense and eyes two or three times, and then set up a second-grade Breath Suppression Array and a defensive array! Only then did Lin Zhangqing have time to carefully recall the experiences of these two days. After finding nothing wrong, he completely let go of his heart! He had already decided to go to the raw stone trading square here tomorrow, and within these two days, he would leave here as soon as possible! The resources here would definitely decrease greatly in the future. However, no matter how chaotic it gets here, it has nothing to do with Lin Zhangqing! As for Lin Zhangliu, when the mine ruin is almost swept clean, it will naturally return to Lin Zhangqing's side.
So he went out, had a meal of spirit food, and returned to the room to start cultivating!
Early the next morning, after completing his cultivation task of the Five Elements Chaos Scripture, he walked towards the raw stone trading square.
He already knew the place, and besides, there were quite a few cultivators walking in this direction along the way.
So he wouldn't go the wrong way at all, and it didn't take long before he arrived! Actually, this place is similar to the stall squares of other markets.
They are all stalls, but what is mainly sold here is raw stones. There are other things, but it is still mainly selling raw stones.
It is very lively now. Looking at it, there are at least several hundred stalls here.
Early in the morning, many cultivators were looking at raw stones, and some were even cutting stones on the spot. It was really lively.
Seeing this situation, Lin Zhangqing didn't waste any more time and immediately joined the ranks of treasure hunting! It was very simple for him to look at this kind of raw stone. Those without halos, he immediately looked at the next one! After looking at dozens of stalls, he finally made a discovery: a medium-grade fire spirit stone raw ore the size of a head! However, in his opinion, the size was still too small. He hesitated in front of the stall, but finally didn't buy it!
In the end, he decided to give up and go directly to the next one.
After wandering to more than 200 stalls, he finally saw a medium-grade raw ore three feet square at a stall! Looking at the halo, it was a relatively dim earth-yellow color. This one couldn't be let go. After negotiating with the boss, Lin Zhangqing finally bought it for 8,000 low-grade spirit stones!
Wandering to here, it was already about one-third, but not a single premium raw ore was found. Lin Zhangqing knew that he estimated he wouldn't be able to find it in this place!
Here, medium-grade raw ores should be the highest grade that could be found. After all, this is a ruin abandoned by major sects.
It must have been surveyed multiple times by them, knowing that it had no value, before it was abandoned! If premium raw ores could still be found, they certainly wouldn't leave them for others. After thinking clearly, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed! Sighing secretly in his heart, looking at the 300 or 400 stalls left, he still insisted on wandering through them all! In the end, he harvested another medium-grade spirit stone raw ore about two feet in size. This was his final harvest.
Actually, there were some medium-grade raw ores inside, but they were too small, and he was too lazy to bother!
With a disappointed mood, he left the raw stone trading square and saw many shops hanging signs for ore recycling along the way.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came. Since there is recycling, there must be selling. Why not go in and take a look? So he randomly found a shop nearby.
Walking in, sure enough, there were quite a few raw stones with good quality displayed on the cabinet, so Lin Zhangqing randomly chose a raw stone.
He asked directly: "Boss, how many spirit stones for this raw stone?"
The boss looked at him first and then said: "This raw stone costs 1,500 low-grade spirit stones!"
Lin Zhangqing nodded, took out the spirit stones, bought the raw stone, and then asked: "Boss, do you know how many shops sell raw stones in this market!" The shop boss made a small profit this time, and his mood was just right, so he said with a chuckle: "There are no 500 shops selling raw stones here, at least 300 or 400!
As long as the shop hangs a sign for recycling raw stones at the door, it will basically sell raw stones. Otherwise, why collect so many raw stones? Isn't it just to turn them around in the middle and earn some price difference!"
Lin Zhangqing nodded after listening, feeling that what the boss said was very reasonable. After chatting a few more words, he bid farewell to the boss and left.
Afterwards, he walked into the next shop. Just like this, he spent a whole day walking through several hundred shops.
He received 12 relatively large medium-grade raw stones, which could be considered a perfect ending to this trip to Kaiyuan Market.
After using spirit food outside, he returned to the inn. He communicated with Lin Zhangliu in his heart and knew that it had already swept about one-tenth of the area around the mine ruin.
And until now, it hadn't been discovered by anyone. Knowing this, Lin Zhangqing was relieved!
After drinking a pot of Green Jade Spirit Tea, he began the cultivation of the Thunder True Scripture!
Early the next morning, he retrieved the two array disks and checked out to leave! Just after he left the market not far, he discovered that there was actually a tail following behind him. He sighed in his heart, these people are really courting death!
Lin Zhangqing ignored them and accelerated away directly. These people behind, he estimated, should be because he wandered through 80% or 90% of the shops in Kaiyuan Market yesterday.
And he bought quite a few medium and large-sized raw stones, so he was noticed by people with ulterior motives!
However, he really didn't take this kind of goods to heart and accelerated forward directly towards the next destination, the direction of Bai Family Fortress! After following him for more than 100 miles, the people behind began to be unable to hold back and used various means to accelerate and intercept Lin Zhangqing in front and behind.
Unfortunately, what greeted them was a large area of black clouds that suddenly appeared at extreme speed, and their vision and divine sense were greatly suppressed.
Just when they were panicking and wanting to move positions, they suddenly heard many urgent cicada chirps! By this time, it was already too late, and their heads suddenly went empty! "Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Following six consecutive muffled thuds of objects falling from a great height, Lin Zhangqing was speechless; even if these few unlucky souls hadn't died from the Shocking Spirit Cicada's divine soul attack, they should certainly be dead from the fall by now!
For cultivators who haven't refined their bodies, their physical bodies are still very fragile. Falling from a height of nearly 100 zhang, they are just a mess of rotten tomatoes!
