82: Brother Ximen, you're here to gather intelligence again.
Lin Feng: "..."
It's a bit expensive, but the effect is good. You'll know once you buy it.
Zhuang Sanming and Su Duo were no longer curious about these things and each went to their seats to cultivate.
Zhuang Sanming was interested in the wood-attribute skill, but twenty thousand low-grade spirit stones was no small sum. How could he afford it?
With this question in mind, Zhuang Sanming cultivated while pondering.
At the same time, not far from the green train, Ximen Chuifeng appeared.
"It's just ahead?"
After he arrived in the forest, he first sent the Crimson Flame Ant to scout out the location of the train. After learning it wasn't in the outer perimeter, he entered the Inner Circle.
The Crimson Flame Ant nodded. That was where he had found it.
Ximen Chuifeng walked quickly. When he saw a corner of the green train, he was shocked: "No way, I just heard from Wang Dapeng yesterday that the train could transform, and today it actually transformed?!"
He put away the Crimson Flame Ant and jogged over. The entire green train slowly appeared before his eyes.
"The train body, it actually became so big! And the material is different, and it also turned green!"
Ximen Chuifeng had a joyful expression on his face, muttering to himself as he ran: "I wonder if there are any changes inside. With such a long carriage, the number of seats should have increased too!"
Ximen Chuifeng arrived at the green train's door and eagerly jumped on.
Inside, it had indeed changed!
Not only was it much more spacious, but four more seats had been added, and the material had changed from plastic to soft cushions.
"Welcome aboard this train. Please sit tight and hold on. Please purchase a ticket upon boarding. The fare is one hundred and fifty low-grade spirit stones."
The increase in fare was within Ximen Chuifeng's expectations.
It seemed Wang Dapeng hadn't lied to him; the train really did change. At first, Wang Dapeng encountered a covered wagon, then it became a tin train, and then it became the current green train.
Although there was only one carriage, the prototype of the train could already be seen.
Although he still didn't know whether the driver had changed the train or if the driver's ability had transformed it, his interest in this train was clearly much stronger now.
"One hundred and fifty low-grade spirit stones, here you go." Ximen Chuifeng paid the ticket fare very readily.
Since the train body had become so large, paying an extra thirty low-grade spirit stones was appropriate.
Moreover, his Advancement Pill had already found a buyer in the black market Outside the Bastion 123. The price was still being negotiated, but it wouldn't be less than three thousand low-grade spirit stones.
A huge profit!
Once he earned the middleman's difference, he would have enough money to buy another one.
So, after getting his ticket, he didn't sit down to cultivate immediately but asked, "Are there any Advancement Pills left in stock on the train?"
"All Advancement Pills have been sold."
"Ah?" Ximen Chuifeng's eyes widened. He hadn't expected them to sell out so quickly.
Then how was he supposed to earn the difference?
However, very quickly, the next subtitle that appeared made his mood brighten again:
"Currently in stock are Sheng Wu Dan and Healing Pill. Additionally, this train has new Tier 3 Cultivation Methods, four copies, and train exclusive water."
Ximen Chuifeng: !!!
So many good things, even skills?
So he asked, "How are the Sheng Wu Dan and Healing Pill sold?"
He didn't directly ask for the price of the skill. Having traveled the 'jianghu' for many years, Ximen Chuifeng was quite aware of the prices of skills outside. And judging by the other pills sold on the train, the skills should be priced similarly to outside, only of better quality than those sold outside.
A Tier 3 Cultivation Method would sell for at least twenty thousand low-grade spirit stones or more in the guild. He didn't have that much money for now, so he didn't ask.
"Sheng Wu Dan: one thousand low-grade spirit stones per pill, can add two Qi Vortexes for warriors below level five."
"Healing Pill: five hundred low-grade spirit stones per pill, can heal all external injuries."
Ximen Chuifeng took out his folding fan and held it in his hand, nodding. As expected of a mysterious train that could travel freely in the forest, the items it sold were incredibly valuable.
He planned to prepare to resell Sheng Wu Dan and Healing Pill when he returned.
Although the price wasn't as high as the Advancement Pill, more people needed them, making it easier to drive up the price.
"Oh, are those the train exclusive water?" Ximen Chuifeng noticed a new table diagonally opposite him, on which sat three bottles of seemingly ordinary water.
"Yes, train exclusive water is seven hundred low-grade spirit stones per bottle."
"Hiss..."
He hadn't been very shocked when he heard about the Sheng Wu Dan and Healing Pill just now, because he had already heard Su Duo mention their prices.
But these three bottles of seemingly ordinary water in front of him actually cost seven hundred low-grade spirit stones?!
That's too expensive, isn't it?
Ximen Chuifeng immediately closed his mouth. He felt he couldn't ask any further; if he did, his wallet would truly be in jeopardy.
He should first find a way to save money and earn some difference before anything else.
He sighed softly and went to find a seat in the back to cultivate. However, before he could even close his eyes, Su Duo suddenly appeared beside her.
"Brother Ximen, it's you. Are you here to gather information again?" Su Duo smiled, her eyes especially bright and clear.
Ximen Chuifeng was startled, but thankfully he recovered: "Yes. Oh, by the way, you two came early today. Did you see how this train became a green train?"
Hope reignited in his eyes.
However, Su Duo shook her head: "No, the train was already like this when we arrived."
"Alright." Ximen Chuifeng showed a disappointed expression.
He didn't know when this train became like this, nor did he know who had seen it.
It seemed he would have to ask the Crimson Flame Ant to investigate when he returned, to see who had ridden the train during this period. He would try to ask them one by one.
"Okay, you go back and cultivate. I need to cultivate too. Let's chat after we get off the train," Ximen Chuifeng said.
"Mhm mhm." Su Duo also went back. She also knew that cultivation time was precious.
She just really liked making friends, that's all.
Although Zhuang Sanming hadn't opened his eyes, he heard Su Duo and Ximen Chuifeng talking. Ximen Chuifeng wasn't a bad person, so he didn't pull Su Duo back.
After all, they had provided Ximen Chuifeng with information last time and earned three hundred low-grade spirit stones from him.
Fifteen minutes passed, and Zhuang Sanming and Su Duo could no longer absorb the spiritual energy from the train.
"Destination reached. Passengers, please disembark."
Because they had agreed to chat after getting off the train, Su Duo and Zhuang Sanming slowly followed behind the train after disembarking, waiting for Ximen Chuifeng to get off.
The fierce beasts in the Inner Circle originally weren't afraid of this train, but because Lin Feng frequently entered the Inner Circle these past few days and taught a lesson to those fierce beasts who tried to provoke him, even in the Inner Circle now, the area around the train had become much quieter. Following the train made it less likely to be attacked by fierce beasts.
