Chapter 133 Picking up a little leak
I walked and stopped like this, and after visiting dozens of stalls, I finally saw something good at one of them.
A piece of lightning-struck wood, as thick as Lin Changqing's thigh and about one meter long, had cut marks on both ends. It should be a relatively long spiritual material that was cut into two or three pieces.
Touching the piece of lightning-struck wood, Lin Changqing clearly felt the fluctuation of the lightning-attributed spiritual material.
The stall owner was an elderly monk. Lin Changqing observed him and asked, "Boss, what kind of tree is this? Why can't I tell it?"
The stall owner saw that someone was interested in his goods, and he also glanced at Lin Changqing, then introduced: "This is my family's spiritual peach tree, it is three or four hundred years old, and it was about to be promoted to the second level.
It was suddenly struck by lightning some time ago, and the outer layer was burned by lightning, leaving only a bare trunk, which I cut into three sections. "
"Oh, so that's it! Then how are you going to sell this spiritual material?" Lin Changqing asked directly.
The stall owner thought for a moment and offered a price: "If you really want it, take 1,200 spirit stones!"
When Lin Changqing heard this, he shook his head repeatedly: "This is only a first-level spiritual material. You can buy a spiritual tool with this price. How about this, make it cheaper, and I'll take the 800 spiritual stones."
The stall owner also shook his head and said, "Even if this lightning wood is not a second-level spiritual material, it is at least a first-level top-level spiritual material. Such a large piece of material is enough to refine three first-level top-level magical instruments, lightning wood flying swords."
"That's not worth that much. How many spirit stones are there for three first-level top-level flying swords? And we have to add auxiliary materials and ask a weapon refiner to refine them. It's not cost-effective at all!"
The stall owner thought for a moment, took a step back and said, "Then I'll give you a discount of 100 Spiritual Stones, 1,100 Spiritual Stones!"
Lin Changqing was getting a little impatient, and said directly: "The last stage, one thousand spirit stones for the deal. If you agree, I'll buy the other two stages from you as well. If you don't agree, forget it."
The stall owner thought about it for a moment and said, "Three sections of lightning-struck wood, three thousand one hundred and fifty spirit stones, this is the final price, if it's not suitable, you can leave!"
Lin Changqing hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Then I'll take a look at the other two pieces of lightning-struck wood first. If they are similar to this one, I'll buy them."
The stall owner nodded and took out another two pieces of lightning-struck wood from his storage bag. After Lin Changqing carefully checked and confirmed that there was no problem, he paid the spirit stones and took away the three pieces of lightning-struck wood.
After thinking for a while, he asked the stall owner, "Didn't you dig out the roots of the tree?"
The stall owner looked at him and shook his head, saying, "No, the remaining stump is still at home. I want to see if it will sprout new buds and grow into a spiritual peach tree again."
Lin Changqing nodded. That's right! Being struck by lightning doesn't necessarily mean the whole plant will die. It's wise for the stall owner to do this.
Lin Changqing didn’t worry about not finding any bargains. He said goodbye to the stall owner and continued shopping.
After looking at more than twenty stalls, I came to a stall that smelled particularly good. The stall owners were two young and beautiful female cultivators. One of them was a little older, probably in her twenties, and the other looked fifteen or sixteen years old.
What they sell are bottles of colorful crystal-bottle stuff that look like perfume.
What attracted Lin Changqing's attention were these things that were very similar to the perfumes from his previous life.
"Boss, what is this? Why does it smell so good?" Lin Changqing asked deliberately.
The older female monk replied, "These are flower essences, which are the essence extracted from fresh flowers. Of course they are fragrant!"
Lin Changqing's heart moved, and he remembered the beautiful scenery in Tianxiang Valley in Ziyang Secret Realm last time. Maybe he could plant more flowers in the space.
In the future, I will raise some bees and let them help to transfer pollen for the spiritual medicines and plants in the space. With flowers, I don’t have to worry about them having no food.
With a plan in mind, he casually responded: "What are the uses of these things?"
The younger female cultivator started to sell them: "These things are only useful to female cultivators. They are mainly used for bathing and fumigation. They can make people happy and refresh their minds. Do you want to buy a few bottles to give to your Taoist companion?"
Lin Changqing shook his head. "I don't have a Taoist partner yet. Do you sell flower seeds here? I want to buy some to decorate the yard. Spiritual flower seeds would be best, but if not, ordinary flower seeds will do."
The two female cultivators looked at each other, and the older one said, "Spiritual seeds are hard to come by, and we don't even have enough ourselves. But we can sell some ordinary flower seeds to fellow Taoists."
When Lin Changqing heard this, he said happily, "Thank you very much, fellow Taoists. I wonder how much these ordinary flower seeds are sold for?"
The older female cultivator took out a cloth bag from her storage bag and handed it to Lin Changqing. She chuckled and said, "Flower seeds are generally not worth many spirit stones. Daoist friend, just give us twenty spirit stones! Just consider it as the fee for hiring us to collect flower seeds."
This bag of flower seeds is enough to sow 20 mu of land. If it is not enough, you can wait until the seeds bloom and bear fruit next year, collect them yourself, and then sow them again."
Lin Changqing smiled and said, "It's enough. It's enough to plant twenty acres of land. Thank you very much, fellow Taoists."
After saying that, he took the cloth bag, took out twenty spirit stones, handed them to the older female cultivator, then said goodbye and left.
There were dozens of stalls at the back, but unfortunately I didn't gain much after visiting them, let alone finding any halo items. After all, they were just some small stalls set up spontaneously on the passenger ship.
He didn't have high expectations in the first place, and Lin Changqing is already very satisfied with these gains.
Returning to the top floor, in his own room, he knew that there must be one or two high-level cultivators in charge on the Wanbao Pavilion's passenger ship, so Lin Changqing didn't dare to enter the space. If he was discovered, it would be troublesome.
So I can only wait for an opportunity to plant these newly purchased flower seeds later.
What Lin Changqing was most satisfied with this time was that he had obtained these three pieces of first-grade top-level thunder-attribute spiritual materials. Although they were first-grade spiritual materials, they were not very common.
The main thing is that the spiritual materials have thunder attributes, which are rare to begin with. When you encounter them, they will definitely be even fewer.
When he first saw these spiritual materials, he already had an idea in his mind, which was to ask Hu Yunna for help to see if he could refine them into special second-order thunder-attribute suppressants.
Of course, Lin Changqing knew that it would not be easy for a top-level first-level person to cross to the second-level, even if it was a lower-grade second-level person.
But it just so happened that in Lin Changqing's storage bag, there was a piece of the heartwood of the second-grade top-grade lightning-struck wood that he had bought from Wanbao Pavilion before. After all, they were both spiritual materials with the same lightning attribute.
See if it can be used reasonably. Anyway, as long as it is a second-level thunder-attributed spiritual weapon that can be used as a suppressant for thunder acupoints, it will be fine. Of course, the more the better.
At that time, these spiritual materials will be handed over to Hu Yunna, who will find someone to help Lin Changqing refine them. I believe that with Hu Yunna's help, there is a great possibility that Lin Changqing's idea can be completed.
Moreover, there would not be any high requirements on the power of these spiritual weapons that were specifically used as suppression objects, so Lin Changqing's idea should be easier to realize.
Of course, we have to wait until the next time Lin Changqing goes to Qingyun Sect to meet Hu Yunna, and the two of them communicate face to face to know whether this possibility is true.
However, even if Lin Changqing's idea could not succeed, he would still entrust Hu Yunna to refine that section of second-grade top-grade lightning-struck wood heart into a top-grade spiritual weapon. In any case, the spiritual material had to be utilized.
This is the importance of professional channels. Of course, this is also why Lin Changqing works hard to maintain his relationship with Hu Yunna and Zhao Mingxia.
Professional matters should be left to professionals. Even the Zifu Tongxuan Dan will be handled in this way in the future. Of course, it is a bit too early to say this now.
Lin Changqing will have to wait until Zhao Mingxia has the ability to do so before he goes to find her. I believe that by then, she will be able to help Lin Changqing handle it.
After adjusting to the good fortune of picking up a bargain, I felt happy and excited. There shouldn't be anything to worry about today. Chen Ziya was in a bad mood, so I guess she wouldn't come to see me today.
So Lin Changqing prepared to start practicing the Thunder Sutra. After using up his excess energy, he would take a rest. He arranged his time fully so that there was no waste at all.
Of course, before starting to practice, you have to take the fur ball out of your arms, otherwise the sweat you shed later will be enough for it to take a bath.
He found the ball of fur in his arms. The little guy was quite obedient. Lin Changqing told it not to make any noise. Just now when they were shopping at the street stalls, it didn't make any noise at all. It was really a smart little guy.
Suddenly a question occurred to me. I wonder if the ball of fur is male or female?
The balloon happened to be in his hand, so Lin Changqing turned it over with its belly facing up. Just as he was about to check it carefully, he didn't expect the fur ball to struggle desperately.
Lin Changqing had no choice but to put it on the table and gave up the idea of giving it a physical examination. After all, it was his own rat and he should still show it proper respect.
Since he was not going to check it, Lin Changqing had no choice but to ignore it.
Get into position and start practicing the Thunder Sutra to generate thunder-attributed spiritual energy and stimulate the acupuncture points.
It is estimated that in another twenty days, one more thunder acupoint should be opened, which will bring us one step closer to the limit of thirty-six acupoints in the Qi Refining Stage.
By the time all thirty-six acupoints are successfully opened, the power of the Thunder Sutra should have been initially formed.
