Chapter 159 Knowing one’s heart and one’s nature

Li Shiying, the guard of the passenger ship, began to organize the crew members and distribute varying amounts of spirit stones as compensation to all passengers based on the boarding certificates they held.

Lin Changqing and Chen Ziya each received 600 spirit stones, and then returned to the top floor, where they saw that all the door restrictions on this floor had been broken.

Although she was mentally prepared, Chen Ziya's heart still skipped a beat. She couldn't help but look at Lin Changqing, who shook his head at her.

Using the jade token as credentials again, they activated the restriction on the trap door, and the two entered Chen Ziya's room. Chen Ziya began to make green jade tea, and then they chatted while drinking tea.

The main topics of conversation were still about the guarding of Wanbao Pavilion, several people from the Qi family, and Master Chenshan. As for Qi Zhanfei, neither of them tacitly mentioned it again.

The special incident that occurred this time delayed the passenger ship for about two hours, and it was almost evening when it arrived at the Qiyun Mansion landing area.

The two men discussed it and decided to rest on the passenger ship for one night and then go to Qiyun Market to take a look tomorrow.

However, this time, the two of them would only go in to stroll around the street stalls square, and if they had time, they would go to the gambling stone shop to take a look, and then they would come back and would not spend the night in the market.

Soon the passenger ship landed at the landing field of Qiyun Mansion.

After finishing the pot of spiritual tea, Lin Changqing said goodbye and returned to his room.

Of course, as soon as I entered, I began to use my spiritual sense to check bit by bit to see if there was anything different. Fortunately, after checking several times, I didn't find any problems.

Sitting in the living room, I began to reflect on what would have happened if I had rescued Qi Zhanfei at that time?
However, he shook his head afterwards. When he led the pursuing monks to Lin Changqing and the other man and tried to drag them into the water, he already had a very bad impression of him.

He had even sentenced him to death in his heart, so how could he possibly save him? Moreover, even if he could escape the pursuit of those monks at that time, the consequence would probably be that he would die at the hands of Lin Changqing.

After all, Lin Changqing would definitely not let someone who was plotting against him live under his nose.

After I figured this out, suddenly a cool and refreshing feeling filled my heart, my eyes brightened, and the world seemed to become clearer again.

Lin Changqing seemed to have realized something. It seemed that the practice of a cultivator was not just about physical cultivation, but also a spiritual practice. He had just questioned his inner self and obtained his truest thoughts, which could be regarded as enlightenment.

Before I knew it, it had darkened outside. After some thought, I decided to set up the small Five Elements maze formation.

You can't stop practicing just because someone might be watching you! It's just that for a short period of time, you won't enter the inner space again.

Now many things are in the inner space, which is quite inconvenient. For example, the Xuanyuan heavy water bottle cannot be used for sacrifice, and the water control technique is also inconvenient, not to mention the Thunder Sutra and the Thunder Control Technique.

After activating the magic circle, he began to practice the Five Elements Return to Origin Sutra, which is the most suitable method to practice now.

Soon an hour and a half passed, and Lin Changqing stopped practicing when he reached the limit of his body's meridians.

Then he started to practice various spells. He decided not to waste time and tried to make the most of it.

After he finished practicing the spell and was about to lie down to rest, he suddenly felt a wave of joy in his heart. Lin Changqing immediately had a guess in his mind, but he still sensed it through the contract.

It was true that Lu Xiaoya had woken up and successfully advanced to the second level. She was now happily running around in the inner space using the Wind Escape Technique, and she was also passing this joy to Lin Changqing through the contract.

Lin Changqing smiled knowingly. This time it was good. Although he was two or three days later than Lu Youqiang, fortunately he had successfully advanced to the next level. He would have one more trump card in the future.

The only pity is that the three-colored deer has no attack skills, it just runs very fast. However, Lu Xiaoya is a female deer and has no horns on her head. So when I sit on it and do wind escape, I don’t know where to grab it. Should I grab its ears?

Next time I enter the inner space, I’ll go find Lu Xiaoya and try the wind escape technique!

The next morning, Lin Changqing completed his training, put away the array plate of the maze array, and went next door to find Chen Ziya.

The two of them set out for Qiyun Market together, still using Chen Ziya's flying boat. Lin Changqing's flying boat had not been bought for a new one since it was destroyed last time.

Two flying boats were captured, but Lin Changqing was not satisfied with them, so he did not practice them. Now he has been using Chen Ziya's flying boat.

For safety reasons, Chuyi was released. The distance of twenty or thirty miles was reached in a short while without any danger.

They landed a little further away from the entrance of Qiyun Market, called Chuyi back to the spirit beast bag, and then spent four spirit stones to get a jade card to enter and exit the market. They entered the market smoothly, and since they did not plan to stay overnight in the market this time, they did not need to look for a hotel.

They asked the clerk in the shop next door for directions to the street stall square, and after getting the directions, they quickly found the place.

They arrived a little early. There were only three or four hundred stalls in the square, and some stall owners were coming in one after another. However, it did not affect Chen Ziya's interest. She still went shopping with great interest.

Lin Changqing followed her as usual, looking for things that interested him.

Of course, there are only 1,400 spirit stones in the storage bag now, and it was only because Wanbao Pavilion compensated me with 600 spirit stones yesterday that I have so many.

So you have to spend frugally and save some money, waiting to make a fortune in the gambling stone shop!
Therefore, Lin Changqing did not buy those ordinary spiritual plants that he could choose to buy or not. However, when he happened to come across seven or eight demon-luring grass seedlings, he could not help but buy them at the price of five spirit stones per plant, spending a total of forty spirit stones.

The rest of the time we just looked and didn't buy. We went around twice with Chen Ziya and it took us more than two hours in total. Fortunately, we didn't come across any particularly precious spiritual medicines or plants, so we managed to keep the few spiritual stones in our storage bag.

Chen Ziya had a small gain today. She bought about 20 small accessories. Fortunately, they were not magical instruments, but just ordinary accessories. She didn't spend many spirit stones in total. Anyway, as long as Chen Ziya was happy, it was fine.

The two walked out of the street stall square and began to look for the gambling stone shop. Fortunately, it didn't take long. After asking the clerk in the roadside shop, they got clear directions and found it quickly.

In the middle, he saw a shop selling spiritual beasts. Lin Changqing hesitated for a moment, but decided not to go in. After all, there were not many spiritual stones left in his storage bag, so he decided to concentrate the spiritual stones on doing something big first!

As soon as I stepped into the gambling stone shop, the waiter came up to me immediately. According to the same old rules, I refused the waiter's company and introduction, and made it clear that I could choose by myself.

In fact, Lin Changqing's mind is no longer here. Looking inside the door, he was deeply attracted by the dozen or twenty halos of different colors and brightness. He no longer had the mind to care about the guy.

I told Chen Ziya to just choose one, and after she agreed, the two of them each looked for raw stones to study.

Lin Changqing was so impatient that he wanted to take the only glowing raw stone in the store in his hand. The raw stone was not too big, just a little bigger than his head, and emitted a bright yellow halo.

According to past experience, Xiang Tian estimated that he could only get 20 to 30 high-quality earth spirit stones.

To be honest, Lin Changqing was still a little disappointed. He saw a lot of halos just now, but when he looked closely, he found that only this one could produce top-grade spirit stones, and the others could only produce mid-grade raw stones.

However, thinking that there were not many spirit stones left in his storage bag, he decided to choose another one of suitable size and prepare to find a chance to exchange them for some spirit stones.

Of course, you can't change it in this place. There are too many people here and it will cause a lot of trouble if you are targeted.

The first time Lin Changqing was attacked was because he had unsealed a mid-grade fire spirit stone in such a place, and that’s why he was targeted.

Lin Changqing planned to select a piece of raw stone that could yield about fifty or sixty mid-grade spirit stones, and then he would return to the passenger ship to open it himself.

Then wait until you reach the next destination, Jinzhou Prefecture Market, and then make the move at the Wanbao Pavilion there. This will be safer, and the number of five or six thousand spirit stones will be less noticeable.

Lin Changqing has made up his mind that he will not enter the inner space again until the end of this journey.

He began to search among the piles of raw stones, and soon found a stone of the right size, a stone as big as two heads, with a dark blue halo, indicating that it was a mid-grade spirit stone with water attribute.

It felt heavy in his hand, so he went to settle the bill with the boss first. The two raw stones cost Lin Changqing a total of 500 spirit stones.

Put them in the storage bag and keep them safe.

After finishing his own business, he finally had time to walk over to Chen Ziya and saw her hesitating in front of the three rough stones.

Lin Changqing took a look and laughed secretly. All the three rough stones that Chen Ziya liked had no halos. No matter which one he chose, he would lose money. It would be better to choose the smallest one, at least he could lose less.

But she didn't ask herself, and Lin Changqing didn't know how to express his opinion.

Finally, she chose the largest one and went to the boss to pay the bill, and he charged her 240 spirit stones.

Fortunately, Chen Ziya is a wealthy woman and can afford to lose this amount of spiritual stones. At worst, I can help her earn some back next time.
