Lin Xiaodong was stunned when he heard this: "Jade is really not cheap!"
He thought to himself: "It's equivalent to half the stone I sold!"
Lin Shuning had no choice but to say in pain: "Actually, we can talk about it one more time..." Not wanting to take advantage of Lin Shuning, Lin Xiaodong handed her the gold ticket and said: "Two thousand taels of gold!"
Lin Shuning took the gold ticket and went to the accounting room in panic. She found three thousand taels of gold tickets and handed the stone to Lin Xiaodong, saying: "Master Lin, if there is anything else you want to buy in the future, just come!"
Nodding to Lin Shuning, Lin Xiaodong carried the package and walked downstairs.
As soon as he went out, he was startled. There were people outside. An old man next to Du Yuebin cautiously saluted Lin Xiaodong and said: "Du Xingde, the general manager of Jiangji City, has met Lin Duhu!"
It turned out that it was Du Yuebin's father who came. Lin Xiaodong said coldly: "You have raised a good son!"
Du Xingde wiped his sweat and said to Du Yuebin: "Apologise to Lin Duhu and admit your mistake!"
"Lin Duhu, I didn't know that the master was here in person, and I accidentally bumped into him. Don't blame me!"
Du Yuebin drooped his head and stopped being crazy.
"Lin Duhu, I have already held a banquet at Taoyuan Residence, specially for the adults, to apologize for my sins, and hope that Duhu will honor you!"
Du Xingde handed over.
Lin Xiaodong thought that there was no need to eat, and he could let him run errands for him, so he said: "There is no need to eat, but I have something I want to trouble you with."
"Sir, please speak."
Lin Xiaodong said: "I just joined the Supervision Department. In the future, when handling cases in various places, I will have to rush on the road. I need a horse with strong legs."
Du Xingde nodded: "This is easy to handle. Later I will choose two beautiful horses and escort Lin Du personally!"
Lin Xiaodong shook his head: "I am a cultivator, and what I want is a spiritual beast that can travel thousands of miles in a day, soar in the clouds, and ride in the mist."
"This..." Du Xingde looked embarrassed: "Spiritual beasts can only be found but not sought. I am just a minor official under the city lord. Where can I find such a mount?"
Waving his hand, Lin Xiaodong said: "I don't want you to come and send it to me. You can find out for me where there is such a spiritual beast. If you have any news, just tell me."
"Okay, okay, definitely!"
After wiping his sweat, Du Xingde felt relieved.
"Okay, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
While everyone was watching, Lin Xiaodong walked away.
I went to the fish market, but I didn't expect to arrive too late. Shi Chong had already left, so I had to go to the inn, rent a carriage, and return to the village.
After arriving home, Lin Xiaodong refused to eat and took out the jade and Zhou Tianding to prepare for sacrifice.
"We have the jade, but what can we use to represent the Pojun Star?"
"Po Jun Yao Guang, the seventh star of the Big Dipper, the sea water, turns gas into consumption, also known as the British Star."
"The leader of the broken army is depleted, and he is restless in the twelve palaces. He is a veritable disaster star. Only by entering the Ziwu Temple and facing Lian Zhentian can he overcome his madness."
"My destiny is to break the army. Could it be said that I have to use blood as my guide?"
After talking to himself for a long time, Song Qing became impatient and said: "The sea is the sea, the sea is the sea, don't think about it. Since it is the sea, just go to the beach to get a handful of water and mix it with your own blood."
Lin Xiaodong suddenly realized: "That's it!"
So he took the wooden ladle, rushed to the pier, took a ladle of sea water, returned to the house, took out a wine cup, pricked his index finger with a needle, squeezed out a drop of blood and mixed it with the jade, and threw it into the Zhoutian Cauldron.
Seven days later, at noon, when the stars were soaring into the sky and the sea was turbulent, a Ruyi flew out of the Zhoutian Cauldron. It was emerald green and shaped like a lotus handle, with a white bead inlaid on it. It was made of sea water and Lin Xiaodong's blood, representing the Pojun Star.
"This treasure should be called Yaoguang Ruyi!"
It is famous for its shimmering pearls and the sound of tsunami waves.
This Yaoguang Ruyi is different from the Zhou Tianding. The Zhou Tianding is the manifestation of Lin Xiaodong's star power, while the Yaoguang Ruyi is the transformation of his own destiny. It is actually the treasure of Lin Xiaodong's life.
After holding Ruyi in his hand and looking at it, Lin Xiaodong's eyebrows stretched: "With this treasure, we can resolve the disaster of turning into ashes!"
In the next few days, Lin Xiaodong used Yaoguang Ruyi to practice Kung Fu, and his cultivation improved again.
At noon that day, Zhou Wenlin, the lord of Jiangji City, came to visit Lin Xiaodong together with Du Xingde. Zhou Wenlin heard from Du Xingde that Lin Xiaodong was looking for a mount, and after asking around, he found a spiritual beast and came to report the matter.
Lin Xiaodong asked Zhou Wenlin and Du Xingde to sit down in the room.
Looking up at this simple thatched hut, Zhou Wenlin said: "Why does the Protector live in such a dilapidated residence? Why don't you follow me into the city? I will arrange another residence for you in the city."
Lin Xiaodong refused, and looked in the direction of the back mountain, saying: "No need, I have two friends here, not to mention the Qing cultivators, it is useless to want a mansion and a luxurious residence."
Zhou Wenlin nodded and said: "I heard from Manager Du before that you are looking for a spiritual beast to ride on. I sent people to look around and found one."
"What kind of spiritual beast is that?"
Zhou Wenlin: "This beast is called the one-horned cloud ox. As the name suggests, it has only one horn. It is called the cloud ox because it can rise from the ground with clouds under its hooves and travel thousands of miles back and forth in a day."
"It would be good if such a divine creature could be used as a mount."
Lin Xiaodong was fascinated.
Zhou Wenlin added: "The One-horned Cloud Ox is a spiritual beast. It has cultivated a human body a long time ago. It understands the world and can speak to people, but it still likes to show itself to others as an ox. It likes to be carefree and at ease. Currently, it is working as a messenger in Guangxing City.
No matter how far the letter is, as long as it is stuck on its horn, it will be delivered on the same day."
"The world is amazed by it, and it has spread widely. When the official heard about it, he thought it could be used as a mount for Lin Duhu. However, this Yunniu likes to be free, has a stubborn temper, and has spiritual knowledge. I am afraid that he will not be willing to be a human ride.
.”
"Okay, thank you both, I will set off today to go to Guangxing City!"
Zhou and Du said goodbye. The next day, Lin Xiaodong rushed to Guangxing City alone.
At noon two days later, when he arrived at Guangxing City, Lin Xiaodong made some inquiries and found out that the One-horned Cloud Niu was at Tongjing Station. He only delivered letters back and forth on weekdays and only came back in the morning and evening.
Lin Xiaodong was waiting at a nearby teahouse, drinking tea and listening to music.
In the evening, as the sun set in the west, Lin Xiaodong came to the door of Tongjing Station. Not long after, a white cloud fell from the sky.
Lin Xiaodong looked up and saw that the white clouds were condensing and standing on top of it was an ox. Sure enough, it had only one horn and weighed a thousand kilograms, but its four hooves were stepping on the clouds.
The cloud cow fell, the clouds dissipated, and with a flick of its tail, it was about to enter the inn. Lin Xiaodong said hurriedly: "I want to deliver a message."
Yunniu didn't even look back. He could speak, and his voice was low and loud, like a wild farmer in the mountains. He said: "It's dark, it's time to get off work."
Lin Xiaodong changed his words: "I heard that you run fast?"
Hearing Lin Xiaodong's provocation, Yunniu turned around and glared: "What, you don't accept it?"
Lin Xiaodong nodded: "I am also proficient in the channel method, and I would like to compete with you."
Yunniu seemed to have long been used to provocations. He pointed his horns into the distance and said: "There is Shangze Lake outside the city. I often go to bathe. Since you are competing, compete with who gets there first!"
