Chapter 177 - 177 Ready to Go
After the stall owner finished packing up, he followed Lin Jing towards the Secret Trade Room.
Upon arriving at the Secret Trade Room and paying a Medium Grade Spirit Stone, the two went inside.
After entering the room and closing the door, Lin Jing took out three Pure Jade Boxes from his Storage Bag and placed them on the table.
These three Pure Jade Boxes were prepared by Lin Jing in advance.
Two of them bore the mark of Elixir Valley, while the other was a regular Pure Jade Box with no markings.
Then, Lin Jing pointed to the Elixir Medicines on the table and introduced,
“Among these, two were bought from the Elixir Valley Heir.” “The remaining one was a stroke of good luck, refined by myself.”
“Fellow Daoist may inspect them at will…” The stall owner bowed to Lin Jing,
“Fellow Daoist, excuse me for a moment…
“I will need to open the Pure Jade Boxes to inspect them, so I’m letting you know beforehand…
“Do not worry, that is as it should be…” Lin Jing said.
The stall owner nodded, then picked up one of the Pure Jade Boxes and examined it.
After inspecting it for a while…
The stall owner placed the Pure Jade Box on the table and carefully opened it. As the Pure Jade Box opened, a fragrant scent of Elixir Medicine instantly diffused, filling the room.
The stall owner took a deep breath, then quickly closed the Pure Jade Box. “Such intoxicating pill fragrance, truly befitting of a Pure Elixir…” the stall owner exclaimed.
After speaking, he set that Pure Jade Box aside and proceeded to pick up the next one for inspection.
In just a moment, he had inspected all three Pure Elixirs.
Once the inspection was complete, the stall owner looked up at Lin Jing,
“Fellow Daoist, there is no problem with your Elixir Medicines, shall we conduct our trade now?” “We may…” Lin Jing nodded.
Next…
The stall owner took out a wooden box holding Third Rank Talismans and handed it to Lin Jing.
Lin Jing reached out to take it, opened the wooden box, and the golden light burst forth from the Talismans, with sporadic flashes of lightning arcs. At this moment, the stall owner said, pointing to the wooden box,
“Fellow Daoist… ”
“Remember that if you want to store these Talismans, you need that Lingwood
Box in your hands. Inside the Lingwood Box, the storage time for these Talismans can be greatly extended.”
“Otherwise…
“Without the Lingwood Box, these Talismans will begin to lose Spiritual Power in just a few years.”
“Once the Spiritual Power starts to diminish, the grade of the Talismans will drop, and so will their power.”
“But stored inside the Lingwood Box, the loss of Spiritual Power can be greatly slowed down, and the Talismans can remain preserved for hundreds of years without a problem.”
“Thanks for the information, Fellow Daoist…” Lin Jing bowed with his fist.
After speaking, Lin Jing continued,
“Fellow Daoist, I’d also like to buy some Second Rank Talismans from you…’ Having just traded and acquired three Pure Elixirs, the stall owner was still in a very good mood.
So he patted his chest and said,
“Whatever Talismans you desire, Fellow Daoist, I could give you a few as a gift.. ‘
Lin Jing hastily said,
“Fellow Daoist, there is no need, I require quite a few, probably twenty to thirty…
The stall owner paused for a moment, then said somewhat embarrassingly,
“In that case, I will give you a discount, Fellow Daoist…”
Following that…
After a discussion between the two, Lin Jing purchased thirty Second Rank offensive Talismans from the stall owner.
Even after the purchase, Lin Jing still felt uneasy.
In the end, he even bought several Teleportation Talismans before finally deciding to stop.
The two then agreed on a price, exchanged money for goods, and their transaction was thoroughly completed.
After completing the exchange, the two left the Secret Trade Room, said their farewells, and went their separate ways.
After parting with the stall owner, Lin Jing did not leave the black market, but continued to browse.
Next…
He planned to buy another Magic Artifact Flying Sword.
Lin Jing’s current Magic Artifact, the Flawless Sword, was far too conspicuous and often difficult to use.
Buying a Flying Sword could be used openly, making the enemy let down their guard.
And the Flawless Sword was better suited for sneak attacks.
On the black market, there was no shortage of Magic Artifacts for sale, it was dazzling to see.
Finally…
After making a round, Lin Jing spent dozens of Medium Grade Spirit Stones to buy a Medium Grade Magic Artifact Flying Sword.
After buying the Flying Sword, Lin Jing took another look around, and seeing nothing else of interest, he left the black market.
Back in his courtyard, Lin Jing entered the System Space immediately.
Now, with only two days left until the meeting with the Pill Master named
Wang, Lin Jing needed to hurry and refine the newly purchased Flying Sword.
As he had saved up plenty of System Space entry time before, with just two days left until the arrival of the Pill Master named Wang, time was urgent, and now was the perfect moment to use it.
The reason Lin Jing was doing all this, buying Third Rank Talismans and a large number of attack Talismans, and purchasing another Flying Sword…
Was actually in preparation to obtain the Cleansing Spirit Flower from the Pill Master named Wang.
This was Lin Jing’s plan.
For the next two days, Lin Jing would continue as usual, doing what needed to be done.
On the third day, when the Pill Master named Wang came to find him, he would make up some excuse to turn down his invitation.
According to the information Lin Jing had overheard that day, Liu Yiyuan would be lying in ambush at the valley early on,
If he did not attend the arranged meeting, it would signify a change in plans, and the Pill Master named Wang would certainly rush to the ambush spot to notify Liu Yiyuan.
At the same time, Lin Jing would have the opportunity to ambush halfway and take the Cleansing Spirit Flower from the Pill Master named Wang.
However, Lin Jing could not kill him.
Because Lin Jing still needed him to testify and extricate himself from the situation.
The cultivation of the Pill Master named Wang was not low, and taking the Cleansing Spirit Flower from him wouldn’t be easy.
Moreover, Lin Jing could not only refrain from killing him…
He also could not reveal his Ling Yin Imperial Sword Technique and the Flawless Sword, which made things even more difficult.
With these restrictions, Talismans naturally became the best means of attack.
The reason Lin Jing bought so many Talismans in one go was for this very purpose.
And that Third Rank Talisman, if possible, should be used sparingly…
But if there truly was danger and the Third Rank Talisman had to be used, Lin Jing would not hesitate to do so.
This is also why Lin Jing did not use his identity as the Elixir Valley Heir to purchase the Talismans.
Actually, if it wasn’t for Wu Cai Immortal also knowing about this matter, Lin Jing would not have needed to go through such trouble.
He could have simply agreed to the Pill Master named Wang’s proposal and then could have asked him for the Cleansing Spirit Flower stem, and perhaps even find an opportunity…
To use the Third Rank Talisman to eliminate Liu Yiyuan, which was not
ImpossiD1e.
Of course…
This is under the circumstance that Lin Jing knew there was no Golden Core expert with Liu Yiyuan; if he knew that Wu Cai Immortal had arranged for a Golden Core Cultivator to be with Liu Yiyuan…
Then, no matter what, Lin Jing would not have such a bold idea.
Next…
Lin Jing spent a day completely refining the Flying Sword.
After that, everything was ready, just waiting for the Pill Master named Wang to arrive..
