Chapter 148 Made a Small Fortune
The next morning, Lin Changqing completed his basic training and was considering whether to go next door to find Chen Ziya.
Unexpectedly, someone triggered the restriction on Lin Changqing's door. He thought it was Chen Ziya who came to see him. When he opened the door, he saw a young male cultivator, but Lin Changqing did not know this person.
Lin Changqing was a little surprised, so he asked directly: "Fellow Daoist, who are you looking for? Is there anything?"
The young monk said embarrassedly: "Fellow Daoist, I apologize for disturbing you. I am the guest living in Room A14 next to you.
I came here to ask if you would like to go to Danyang Market later or tomorrow. Can you go with me? I am afraid something might happen if I go alone."
When Lin Changqing heard that it was about this matter, he quickly shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, fellow Taoist, I have a female companion with me, so it's not very convenient. You can go ask someone else."
When the young monk heard that Lin Changqing rejected his request, he said "Oh!" in disappointment, then said goodbye to Lin Changqing and left.
Then he was about to trigger the restriction on Chen Ziya's door, and Lin Changqing hurriedly stopped him.
"Fellow Daoist, please change one. This is where my companion lives. It's inconvenient for you to disturb him."
The young monk had no choice but to nod and leave without saying anything. After being disturbed by him, Lin Changqing simply activated the restriction on the Jialiu Gate himself and went to find Chen Ziya for tea and chat.
The two sat opposite each other. After appreciating the tea art performance by Chen Ziya, they slowly sipped the fragrant tea. Lin Changqing told Chen Ziya what had just happened at the door.
Chen Ziya asked curiously, "Who is that young monk? Is he here to gather information for some purpose?"
Lin Changqing chuckled and said, "Junior sister, you are now very alert. It seems that you have learned a lot from your experience and have made great progress!
But this person doesn't look like a robbery cultivator to me, but more like a child of an aristocratic family who is going out for the first time. He has been rejected by me twice in a row, but he has not shown any other excessive behavior. His quality is pretty good."
When Chen Ziya heard Lin Changqing praising her for being alert, she felt a little proud. After all, she had experienced life and death, so she had made some progress.
"So what are your plans, Senior Brother? The passenger ship will arrive at the landing field of Danyang Prefecture this evening. Should we rush to Danyang Market immediately?"
Lin Changqing thought about it and agreed: "Junior sister, this is a good suggestion. This time, as soon as the passenger ship lands, we will go straight to Danyang Market.
The young monk who knocked on the door would not have gone to Danyang Market so late, as he was afraid of the unsafe road. Therefore, we were able to avoid these troubles."
When Chen Ziya heard that Lin Changqing agreed to her proposal, she became even more proud and smiled happily. Seeing how happy she was, Lin Changqing decided to let her continue to be happy.
He took out four storage bags and explained, "These are the storage bags of those robbers. There were originally five of them, but I returned Xu Meiniang's storage bag to her. Now there are only four left.
Let’s see if there’s anything suitable for you.”
Chen Ziya shook her head and refused: "These are all my brother's spoils of war, how can I take them?"
Lin Changqing smiled and said, "I guess there's nothing good here. Junior Sister, just help me sort it out. I don't have anything else to do anyway."
After Lin Changqing said this, Chen Ziya readily agreed. Two of the items had already been refined by Lin Changqing, so she just poured out the contents.
There were two storage bags left, and he and Chen Ziya each took one. They started to refine them, and they were soon complete. They also poured all the contents onto the ground.
He began to sort them into categories and soon finished. There were about 23,000 low-grade spirit stones and seven medium-grade spirit stones.
Among them, Wang Youzong alone contributed about 15,000 low-grade stones. As expected, he was the alchemist with the most spiritual stones. Although his alchemy skills were not very good, they were much better than the others.
There were fifteen mid- to high-grade offensive and defensive magic weapons in total, all of which were well preserved. After all, the battle was not over for long, and the consumption of the magic weapons was not great. As for the low-grade magic weapons, no one was found. It seemed that they did not value them either.
These magical weapons also include the God-Breaking Crossbow and a first-grade top-grade golden flying sword.
This top-grade golden flying sword should belong to Lu Xinyi's younger brother. They got it in that cave, and Lu Xinyi mentioned it.
Seeing this, Lin Changqing said to Chen Ziya: "Junior sister, how about giving you this broken crossbow for self-defense? I think it is very powerful. If you don't have a few layers of defensive talismans or defensive magic tools on your body, you will probably die in one blow.
It just consumes more mid-grade spirit stones. One strike of this thing requires one mid-grade spirit stone, and ordinary cultivators really can’t afford it!” Seeing that Chen Ziya was a little hesitant, Lin Changqing added: “Didn’t I take the small Five Elements Mystery Array Plate you gave me?
And if we encounter any situation in the future, you can also use this God-breaking Crossbow to support me!"
Chen Ziya nodded, took the magic weapon, and thanked Lin Changqing: "Thank you, Senior Brother. I will accept it."
Lin Changqing smiled and said, "Isn't that right?"
Then he gave seven medium-grade spirit stones to Chen Ziya, and this time she did not refuse.
Seven middle-grade spirit stones are only enough for this broken divine crossbow to fire seven shots. It is estimated that Chen Ziya does not have many middle-grade spirit stones, which is why she accepted the spirit stones given by Lin Changqing.
Next are the clothes, sundries, and some daily necessities. These are all packed in a storage bag and will be disposed of together when I have time later.
There are two or three secret manuals on martial arts and practice notes, but they are all common martial arts that are widely used out there. Take them back to the family and see if there is anyone who wants to practice them.
Lin Changqing had already collected the two books of martial arts and practice notes of the Lu brothers a few days ago.
There is a second-level inheritance of an alchemist in it, but there are not many pill recipes recorded in it, and there are only eight first-level pill recipes.
Lin Changqing took a special look at the second-level pill recipes and found only three common ones, namely Juyuan Pill, Huiyang Pill and Huiyuan Pill. They were all first-level pills, and were upgraded versions of Juqi Pill, Huichun Pill and Huiqi Pill.
Lin Changqing was quite disappointed. It was of no use to him at all, and the content was not even as complete as that of his family!
This second-level alchemist inheritance is completely incomplete, but it should be considered quite rare for a casual cultivator.
In conjunction with the alchemy inheritance, there is also a first-grade top-quality alchemy furnace, which Lin Changqing collected first. He would be able to use it if he wanted to learn alchemy in the future.
Once again, he was thankful that he did not show mercy and let Wang Youzong go last time. It turned out to be the right decision. Otherwise, it would have been a waste of his precious spiritual medicines and plants.
In the end, there were only a pile of jade boxes left, about one hundred and fifty or sixty in total, one for each of Chen Ziya and him. When they opened them, they found that many of the jade boxes were empty.
In the end, only forty-five spiritual herbs were produced, of which only twenty-two could be planted again, and most of them were already in Lin Changqing's space.
The only harvest might be a young seedling of Linglong fruit. This thing is a bit similar to grapes, and is also a winding vine-like spiritual plant. The grade of it is not too high, that is, it has just entered the grade, and can barely be regarded as a first-grade lower-grade spiritual plant.
Lin Changqing likes to eat it the most. He can eat it as an ordinary fruit. Eating a whole bunch of it is equivalent to the spiritual energy content of a low-grade spiritual peach. In the future, if he grows more in the space, he can also ask Xu Meiniang to make Linglong fruit wine.
By the way, remember to buy some wine-making tools when you go to Danyang Market this time, at least those large sealed containers for wine-making.
After testing a few more times and confirming that Xu Meiniang is okay, let her enter the space. Keeping her in the spirit beast bracelet all the time is not a long-term solution.
Of course, the exception is the leader of the robbery cultivators, Lu Xinyi. Lin Changqing did not regard him as a human being.
Besides, we still need to treat her soul injuries, so it would be better to wait until she is put in the space before treating her.
After sorting all the things into different storage bags, the spoils of war were dealt with.
The two began to drink tea and chat again. After finishing the pot of spiritual tea, Lin Changqing prepared to say goodbye and go back.
Before leaving, Lin Changqing instructed Chen Ziya again: "Junior sister, remember to refine the God-breaking Crossbow first. You never know when you might need it! Don't forget it."
Chen Ziya listened and agreed with a smile: "Got it, Senior Brother! I will prepare it in a moment and make sure it can be used at any time."
Lin Changqing also laughed, and without saying anything else, he formally said goodbye and left.
