Chapter 190: A Nest of Stone Eggs

Chapter 190 A Nest of Stone Eggs

Almost half an hour after Zhao Liyu left, Lin Changqing set out to return to Jinzhou Market.

When we got back to the hotel safely, it was already evening and the sky had obviously darkened.

Sitting in the room, I went over the plan from beginning to end, and only felt relieved after confirming that there were no major omissions.

He suppressed his emotions and calmed down for a while, then spent about an hour and a half to complete today's task of practicing magic powers.

After taking a proper rest for a while, he started practicing the Thunder Sutra again until all the energy in his body was exhausted.

After cleaning myself outside, I came back and lay down to rest.

The next morning, Lin Changqing completed his practice of the Five Elements Chaos Sutra.

Today is the most important day in the entire plan. I should stay in the room and reduce activities outside, which will reduce possible troubles.

But considering that I haven’t been to the street stall plaza two or three times, I decided to go for a walk this morning to see if I can find anything special.

So after Lin Changqing completed his training, he rested for a while. When the time was almost right, he activated the restriction on the door, left the hotel and walked towards the street stall square.

When passing by the gambling stone shop, he couldn't help but take a look. Seeing the super large raw stone still there, Lin Changqing felt relieved.

Without stopping, we soon arrived at the street stall square. The time was just right, as the square was the busiest, with many people setting up stalls and visiting the stalls.

After a rough glance, there are about six or seven hundred stalls. To be honest, Lin Changqing likes this kind of hustle and bustle the most. Many of his gains are made at the street stalls.

Of course, this is thanks to the Innate Merit True Eye, but he hasn't been to the street stalls for a long time. When he saw this scene today, it was as if his blood was awakened. He felt a little excited and began to look forward to it.

I walked straight in and started shopping. It looks like my luck is pretty good today!

After visiting a few street stalls, I saw a few plants of magic-luring grass. Lin Changqing valued this kind of spiritual grass the most. After all, he raised a lot of spiritual beasts and insects.

If they arrive in the future and raise their offspring, the demand for this monster-luring grass will definitely be huge.

So every time he sees one, as long as the price is not too outrageous, he will buy it.

There are a total of five plants of the magic-attracting grass on the stall this time, one of which is quite old, estimated to be seven or eight years old.

The rest were seedlings that were one or two years old. Lin Changqing spent a total of thirty spirit stones to buy them all.

With the harvest, the interest is even higher. In fact, when visiting the street stalls in the square, the most common things you encounter are various spiritual herbs, spiritual medicines, and materials from monsters.

However, Lin Changqing only looks for those spiritual medicines and herbs that can be planted again, so these are the ones he gained the most along the way.

I have visited about half of the stalls and collected about thirty or forty medicinal herbs, but I haven't gained anything else.

After walking around for a while, Lin Changqing finally saw what he had been looking forward to: a bright golden halo appeared on a stall.

Lin Changqing suppressed his excitement and observed the entire stall. This was a stall that mainly sold monster materials. There were tendons, bones, and skins of monsters on the stall. There were also several spiritual herbs that had been picked for some time and were obviously a little withered.

However, these were not Lin Changqing's target. The source of the halo was a stone nest slightly larger than a palm, with six stone eggs inside.

"Boss, can you pick this up and take a look at it?" Lin Changqing asked.

The boss glanced at him and greeted him enthusiastically: "Sure, it's okay to pick it up and have a look, just don't break it."

Lin Changqing nodded, then took the stone nest from the stall and examined it carefully.

It seems that some monster, long ago, used this stone nest as a nest and laid eggs in it.

But for some reason they did not hatch, and I don't know how much time has passed. Now they have turned into six stone eggs, and they are fused with the stone nest.

It is still unknown whether the treasure is this stone nest or these six stone eggs. But since the Xiantian Merit True Eye has given a hint, then we must take it down, no matter what it is, we will buy it first.

He glanced at the boss and asked him directly: "Boss, what are these stone eggs of yours?"

The boss also glanced at Lin Changqing and said helplessly: "To be honest, I don't know either. This was discovered by a spirit-seeking rat I raised.

We didn’t know what to do with it at the time, so we just cut the stone nest directly off the rock wall, and it looks like what you see now.”

Lin Changqing was a little confused. Since even the boss didn't know what it was, he could only make up nonsense.

So he said, "This looks a bit like a spirit beast egg that has naturally petrified over time. But at first glance, it is indeed very attractive. It makes people curious and want to pick it up and play with it."

The boss nodded and said, "It is indeed the feeling you described. Many people just can't help but be curious and want to study it.

I have studied it for quite some time, but still don't know what it is. It is said to be a spirit beast egg, but it cannot be contracted. It is said to be a spirit object, but it only has the first level of spiritual pressure.

I personally think it should be considered a rare item! I just haven’t found its function yet.”

Lin Changqing felt that the boss might have guessed right, so he decided to buy it early so that he could feel more at ease.

So he continued to ask, "How much do you sell this thing for? I think it's best to give it as a gift. Regardless of whether it's a rare item or not, at least the person receiving it will definitely remember you."

After hearing what Lin Changqing said, the boss laughed and felt that what he said did make sense. He was indeed planning to sell this thing since he couldn't find anything out of it anyway.

However, he plans to offer a relatively high price first to test the situation. If he really encounters a matching pair, he can make a lot of money.

Then he said, "If you are interested in buying this rare item, I will give you two thousand low-grade spirit stones!"

When Lin Changqing heard this, he opened his eyes wide and said in surprise: "A toy whose function is unknown costs two thousand spirit stones?
Then I might as well just buy a top-grade magic weapon to give to someone, which will have the same effect and doesn’t require so many spirit stones.

If you really want to sell it, please tell me the price! If it’s suitable, I’ll buy it. If not, forget it.”

The boss thought for a moment and said, "How many spirit stones are you offering? The top-grade magic weapon you mentioned is not as attractive as this rare item."

Lin Changqing thought about it. If he offered too little, the boss would definitely not talk about it. But if he offered too much, he was afraid of attracting attention. So after consideration, he decided to offer 500 spirit stones.

I said to the boss, "I'm planning to buy it as a gift. If the price is too high, I can't afford it. Five hundred spirit stones, please! If it works, it's fine. If not, forget it."

The boss shook his head and said, "Five hundred is too little, how about one thousand spirit stones? Who knows, maybe you can really discover the wonderful use of this strange thing in the future!"

Lin Changqing also shook his head, put the stone nest back on the stall, stood up, and said to the boss: "I was just a little curious and thought this thing would be suitable as a gift.

But one thousand spirit stones is really too high, I can't afford it! I'll look somewhere else!"

After Lin Changqing finished speaking, he left and was about to go to the next stall to have a look. The boss quickly stood up and grabbed Lin Changqing, saying, "You add another hundred spirit stones, and I'll sell it to you for six hundred."

Lin Changqing still shook his head and said, "Forget it. Now that I think about it, it's a bit too much to spend 500 spirit stones to buy a stone nest. Forget it, forget it, I don't want this thing anymore."

When the boss heard that Lin Changqing regretted it, he was very anxious. He picked up the stone nest from the stall and stuffed it into Lin Changqing's hand, saying, "I'll sell it to you for five hundred stones. It's a deal!"

Lin Changqing was already acting like a drama queen. He pretended to stuff the things back to the boss, and said, "Boss, I'm sorry I didn't think clearly just now. I don't want this stone nest anymore. It's too expensive."

When the boss heard this, he glared at Lin Changqing angrily and shouted, "You were the one who offered 500 spirit stones just now, and now I agree to sell it to you.

Even if you have found the garrison, I am still in the right, so stop talking nonsense and pay the spirit stones quickly."

Seeing the boss yelling like this, Lin Changqing had no choice but to pay five hundred spirit stones with great reluctance.

Then, he looked as if he had suffered a setback, stopped shopping at the stall, and left angrily.
