190: Chapter 190 Seeing Lin Feng Again

After Chen Changqing finished selecting, Lanyü put away the remaining Magical Artifacts.

"The qingluo umbrella costs four hundred and fifty thousand Spirit Stones, the wanjun armor four hundred thousand, and the Dingling Pearl four hundred and eighty thousand. These three items total one million three hundred and thirty thousand Spirit Stones. I will take it upon myself to charge Senior Lin one million two hundred thousand Spirit Stones."

Chen Changqing nodded. One million two hundred thousand—this price was quite reasonable. If sold in some other places, the price would be around this level at most, differing by just tens of thousands of Spirit Stones.

"Does your Wanbao Pavilion purchase Talismans?" Chen Changqing inquired.

"Yes, we do. As long as the treasures have been authenticated, our Wanbao Pavilion will buy them. Not only that, but the purchase price will also satisfy you," Lanyü explained. She had experienced this kind of business more than once and knew how to handle it.

"In that case—" Chen Changqing took out a large batch of Talismans, numbering around several dozen.

Lanyü took them, glanced at them, and then led Chen Changqing to the elderly man specifically in charge of this matter.

"Senior, this is Elder Qiu of our Wanbao Pavilion, a Third-Rank Talisman Master."

"Xiaoyu, we have new guests again," Elder Qiu smiled and said.

"Elder Qiu, this is Senior Lin. Please help him authenticate these Talismans first." Lanyü didn't mind Elder Qiu's teasing and solemnly explained to the two of them.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Qiu." Chen Changqing took out a stack of Talismans, all of which were Third-Rank Low Grade gravity talismans.

"Fellow Daoist Lin." Elder Qiu nodded. After taking Chen Changqing's Talismans, he examined them carefully.

After a short while, he finished authenticating the dozens of Third-Rank Talismans.

"Although these Talismans are only of ordinary quality, they are all at the third rank and can sell for around twenty thousand Spirit Stones on the market. The price for ordinary quality will be slightly lower.

How about this, Fellow Daoist Lin? According to our Wanbao Pavilion's acquisition value, which is generally around eighty percent, we are willing to offer sixteen thousand Spirit Stones per Talisman to purchase them. What do you think?"

Sixteen thousand?

"Very well." Chen Changqing nodded immediately.

He was quite satisfied with this price. If it were other shops, the acquisition price might be even lower.

"In that case, these fifty Talismans total eight hundred thousand Spirit Stones. Fellow Daoist Lin, you only need to pay another four hundred thousand."

Chen Changqing took out a Storage Pouch and handed it to Elder Qiu.

Elder Qiu took it, probed the Storage Pouch with his Divine Sense, and nodded.

"Then please wait a moment, Fellow Daoist Lin. Lanyü, entertain Fellow Daoist Lin well for now." After saying that, Elder Qiu stood up and went elsewhere to properly store these Talismans.

Lanyü nodded and led Chen Changqing to the reception hall.

...

"Senior, this is Second-Rank High Grade Enlightenment Tea," Lanyü introduced.

"Good tea."

Chen Changqing took a sip. Instantly, a cool breath went straight into his mind, and even his Divine Soul became much clearer.

Chen Changqing had just barely sensed a trace of the Dao rhyme, but unfortunately, this single sip was not enough to give him any Breakthrough.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, these are your Magical Artifacts." After a while, Elder Qiu arrived.

Chen Changqing took them, glanced at them, and nodded.

After exchanging pleasantries with Chen Changqing for a moment, Elder Qiu left. Before leaving, he specially instructed Lanyü to prepare five taels of Second-Rank High Grade Enlightenment Tea for Chen Changqing.

After expressing his gratitude, Chen Changqing also left.

"This trip has been extremely fruitful."

Three Third-Rank High Grade Magical Artifacts elevated his combat power to another level. If used well, slaying a Purple Mansion Seventh-Layer Perfection Cultivator might not be impossible.

Leaving Wanbao Pavilion, Ma Jiu was still waiting outside.

"Senior," Ma Jiu said respectfully.

"Mn, there is nothing else for you. You can leave first," Chen Changqing said indifferently, and then he took out one hundred Spirit Stones and gave them to Ma Jiu.

Ma Jiu was pleasantly surprised, but just as he intended to refuse, Chen Changqing had already left the spot.

He stared blankly at the one hundred Spirit Stones in front of him. "Senior is certainly generous."

...

After leaving Cang Prefecture City, Chen Changqing returned to Wuyue Mountain at the first possible moment.

Before leaving, he gave Ma Jiu one hundred Spirit Stones, actually just because Ma Jiu's conduct had satisfied him quite a bit.

Although his net worth exceeded one million Spirit Stones and one hundred Spirit Stones might seem petty, in reality, it was already a lot for a junior in the Late Qi Refining Stage. Even his own Family members only had the chance to receive his rewards when meeting him in person.

After about several days, he finally returned to Wuyue Mountain.

There hadn't been any major events at Wuyue Mountain during this period, aside from Chen Xuanyi leading quite a few Cultivators from the Family to Ying Province to exterminate ghosts.

Although he hadn't been conscripted yet, it would be soon. Once the situation in Yan Country worsened further, he would definitely have to take action.

Therefore, during this period, he needed to leave some trump cards for the Family to prevent evil Cultivators or rogue Cultivators from taking advantage of the opportunity to rob them of their treasures.

...

Ying Province.

Chen Xuanyi and the others arrived at the border of Ying Province together with the Disciples of the Xuantian Sect.

This time, the Xuantian Sect was led by Master Lingxiao. There was no help for it; today's Xuantian Sect only had him as the sole Zifu Stage Cultivator left, while Master Bingyou had disappeared long ago after that great battle over twenty years ago.

After several major battles, even as strong as the Xuantian Sect was, it couldn't withstand such attrition.

Not only did several Purple Mansion Masters die in battle one after another, but more importantly, most of the older generation of Foundation Establishment Cultivators had either died or been injured.

As for the new generation of Foundation Establishment Cultivators, Lin Feng currently had the highest cultivation level, yet he was only at the seventh layer of Foundation Establishment.

Fortunately, Master Lingxiao was only about three hundred years old now. As long as nothing unexpected happened, he could protect the Xuantian Sect for at least another two hundred years.

"Brother Lin." Chen Xuanyi took the initiative to greet Lin Feng.

"Brother Chen, it's been so many years. You've already entered the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment." Upon seeing the newcomer and discovering Chen Xuanyi's aura, Lin Feng felt a myriad of emotions as well as bitterness in his heart.

"Half of my achievements today are thanks to your help, Brother Lin," Chen Xuanyi said modestly, though his words were not false.

Back then, before their Chen Family had even produced a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, if not for Lin Feng's casual effort, how could the Chen Family have achieved what they had today?

The two continued to exchange pleasantries for a moment. Around them, some other Foundation Establishment Cultivators had also arrived—some from the Xuantian Sect and some from other families.

Most of them came here to test the waters and see how Master Lingxiao planned to arrange things for them next.

Lin Feng and other Xuantian Sect Cultivators knew their purpose, but they themselves didn't know either.

Firstly, the Yuxu Sect only asked them to assist Ying Province. Secondly, even if they knew what to do next, it would be decided by Master Lingxiao.

Seeing that they couldn't get any effective intelligence from Lin Feng and the others, Chen Xuanyi and his group had no choice but to return to their own team.

"How is it? Brother Chen, what did the Xuantian Sect say?" Liu Wuxie opened his mouth to ask.

"They didn't reveal a shred of intelligence. I don't know if they really don't know or are unwilling to say." Chen Xuanyi shook his head.

The families of Qinghe County all gathered together. Unlike in the past, this time the Xuantian Sect did not stop them from doing so; instead, they strongly agreed with their approach.
