Chapter 35 Blue Aura
Pulling my mother in, I walked in. Every gambling stone shop had the most people. Some were selecting raw stones, some were just watching the fun, and some were just waiting and watching, but none of them had anything to do with Lin Changqing.
After a quick glance, I finally saw a blue halo and slowly walked over. Someone nearby happened to pick up the rough stone and turned it over and over to study it.
Lin Changqing's heart was beating so violently that it seemed like it was about to jump out of his chest. Fortunately, the man looked at it for a while, then let it go and started studying another piece of it.
Lin Changqing hurried over and took it in his hand. This piece was a little bigger than the last one and felt heavy in his hand.
Just like last time, I selected two smaller, pleasing rough stones.
When his mother saw that Lin Changqing had taken so many raw stones, she quickly told him not to be so impulsive and just buy one to try his luck.
Lin Changqing confidently said that he was lucky and would not lose money, and asked his mother not to worry!
The mother thought of Lin Changqing's gains last time, and also wanted to know whether Lin Changqing had a special talent in gambling on stones, so she did not say anything to stop him.
Lin Changqing then took a few pieces of raw stones and went out to settle the bill with the boss. Sure enough, it was the same boss of the gambling stone stall from last time.
But he seemed to have no impression of Lin Changqing! This time, three raw stones cost Lin Changqing 460 spiritual stones.
It’s the same routine again, saying that they can help cut the stone for free and ensure that its value is preserved to the greatest extent. In fact, it is just to attract people to come and view and buy the raw stones.
Anyway, the most important raw stone is already in hand, so let's unlock these two here, as a way to give back to the boss for his two contributions.
I told the boss that I only needed to cut two and I could play with the remaining one myself, and the boss readily agreed. He immediately called a stone cutter to prepare to grind the raw stone. A large group of people immediately gathered around, more excited than Lin Changqing, the owner!
Professional stone opening is very fast. After seeing some red crystals, the experienced people around immediately determined that it was a low-grade fire spirit stone. Some people even sighed.
It was completely opened in a short while, but unfortunately the spirit stones that came out were too small. This piece of raw stone only produced raw ore worth more than a dozen spirit stones, which made the crowd sigh.
I asked the master to open the second piece as well. This time, it turned out to be another low-grade spirit stone, which was only slightly better than the first one. It was obvious that both pieces were a big loss, and I received a lot of sympathetic looks from everyone.
He couldn't stand the gazes of the crowd and had no choice but to pull his mother back. In fact, he was extremely happy, but he tried hard to hold it in and not show it!
After finally returning home, the mother wanted to comfort Lin Changqing, but she didn't expect that Lin Changqing went into his room as soon as he got home and didn't come out. The mother thought he was embarrassed and didn't think much about it.
When Lin Changqing entered the space, he couldn't help laughing! It took him a long time to calm down. Unfortunately, his grandfather was not at home, so there was no one to share his joy.
He took out the tool for polishing the raw stone and began to polish it slowly. As the skin fell off bit by bit, a blue crystal finally appeared in front of him, a top-grade spiritual stone with water attribute.
The overall weight is a little more than last time, and it should be able to be cut into 25 high-quality spirit stones, with some scraps.
After thinking about it, I decided to throw it directly into the deep pit for Lin Changliu to digest! Otherwise, I don't know when I can cash it in if I keep it.
After making up his mind, he walked to the edge of the deep pit and threw the raw ore directly into it, even the stone skin and outer shell, to see if Lin Changliu would give him a surprise tomorrow.
The next morning, Lin Changqing finished his practice. The effect of today's practice was surprisingly good, which should be due to the high-quality spirit stone ore from last night.
But now is not the time to enter the space. Lin Changqing wants to go to the exchange meeting to see if there is any chance to find a bargain.
On the third day of the celebration, an internal exchange meeting was held, led by the Lin family, and all guests with invitations could participate.
The format is very simple. You just tell them what you need, and then show them the spiritual objects you want to exchange for everyone to see. If there is a suitable match, both parties can negotiate on their own and the Lin family will not charge any fees.
When Lin Changqing arrived, he happened to meet the Fourth Elder who was also going to attend the exchange meeting. He quickly greeted the Fourth Elder and then followed him into the venue. He saw that there were already twenty or thirty people sitting inside, and more people were coming in one after another.
Lin Changqing found an inconspicuous corner and sat down. After waiting for a while, everyone finally arrived.
At this time, the fourth elder stood up, walked to the stage and said, "Thank you Xuwei for coming to participate in the foundation-building celebration of Lin Maoxiang of the Lin family. I will represent the Lin family in today's exchange meeting. Let me start with some ideas."
The fourth elder took out three jade boxes and three first-grade top-quality marrow cleansing pills, which had the miraculous effect of clearing the meridians and cleansing the marrow to improve aptitude.
Prioritize exchanging for spiritual medicines and elixirs that can help break through bottlenecks. If there are none, exchange 1000 spiritual stones for each top-grade cleansing marrow pill. As soon as the voice fell, a cultivator from the Xu family said, "I happen to have a Yellow Dragon Pill. This pill means to strike directly at the Yellow Dragon. It is very effective for breaking through bottlenecks. How about exchanging it for a top-grade cleansing marrow pill?"
The fourth elder was delighted and said, "Very good, thank you, Fellow Daoist Xu."
At this time, another cultivator from the Chen family spoke up and said, "I also have a Blue Moon Spirit Fruit, which is worth 1500 Spirit Stones. It is very useful for bottlenecks below the Foundation Establishment Stage. How about exchanging it for a Top-grade Cleansing Marrow Pill and 500 Spirit Stones?"
The fourth elder was pleasantly surprised and said, "That's very fair. Thank you, Fellow Daoist Chen."
I still have a top-grade marrow cleansing pill, but is there any fellow Taoist who wants to exchange it?
"I have one or two ounces of second-grade Lingwu Tea, which has the effect of enlightening the mind and is also somewhat effective for bottlenecks. It is worth 2000 spirit stones. How about exchanging it for a top-grade marrow cleansing pill and 1000 spirit stones?" This was the voice of the Li family cultivator.
The fourth elder thought for a moment and said, "Although it is not specifically for bottlenecks, the second-level Spiritual Mist Tea should also have some effect. Let's do as Fellow Daoist Li said! Thank you for your support, Fellow Daoist Li."
Thank you again for the support of all fellow Taoists. I have already exchanged for a suitable spiritual object, so I will not take up any more space. Now, please invite fellow Taoist Li to come on stage to exchange spiritual objects.
The Li family cultivator came up to the stage, slapped his storage bag, and took out three large jade boxes. This was first-grade, top-quality Qingling tea, which had the effect of refreshing the mind and was suitable for drinking before cultivation.
Each box weighs one kilogram, and three boxes are worth at least 4500 spirit stones. What I want to exchange is any spiritual medicine or elixir that can heal injuries to the soul.
After saying this, he looked at the audience with anticipation. After waiting for a long time, no one spoke. After all, there were too few elixirs that could heal the soul!
A little disappointed, he continued, "Since there is none, let's exchange all these Qingling Tea for Lingshi! 1500 Lingshi per box."
Immediately, three people jumped up to make the deal.
The whole exchange lasted for more than an hour. Some people went up and down, and got suitable spiritual objects, while others returned disappointed.
However, the bargain that Lin Changqing expected did not happen, and he did not find any items with halos. This time he gained nothing at all.
The exchange meeting ended successfully, which meant that the foundation-building celebration was also successfully completed. Most of the guests will leave the Lin family today, except for some of Fourteenth Uncle’s friends who will probably stay for a few days.
After being bustling for a few days, Jiufeng Mountain finally returned to its former tranquility.
Everyone in the family completed their tasks and returned home. My father and second uncle worked the hardest these two days, followed by my mother who also had a hard time helping out in the kitchen.
Fortunately, the family has contribution points as rewards for everyone, and Lin Changqing alone has earned five contribution points.
Fortunately, the celebration is finally over and everyone is relieved. Next time it should be my aunt’s turn to start the foundation-building celebration!
After practicing magic at night, I returned to my room.
As soon as I entered the space, I felt something different. The space suddenly became much more spacious, and the height also increased. It was just a small space before, but now it has at least more than 30 acres of land.
With so much land, you can consider making good use of it. Although it is not possible to plant high-level spiritual medicines and plants on all of it, even if you plant all of it with spiritual medicines for refining Qi Gathering Pills, it will still be a considerable income in a year!
After a careful inspection and measurement, I got the exact answer, a total of a little over 32 acres. I didn't expect that the top-grade Shuiling ore was so powerful! It was almost equivalent to Lingshi.
I think I will go to the gambling stone shop more often when I have time in the future. Even if I can't cash it in for the time being, it would be nice to leave it for Lin Changliu to digest.
What should I plant in such a large space?
Suddenly, Lin Changqing thought of something. What would happen if he continued to cultivate the bloodthirsty thorn vine's spiritual seed in the space? Would it break through the third level, or would it reach the limit of the second level and then begin to condense seeds?
But there is still a problem, that is how to control it. You know, although it is a plant, it is very aggressive. Lin Changqing doesn't think highly of it now as he contracts it into a life spirit plant.
Without the contract, Lin Changqing dared not plant it. It would be troublesome if he couldn't control it. Let's wait until I come back!
