Chen Lin was surprised that this small shop actually knew about Randenguo.
But he still asked with expectation: "The shopkeeper said this, does your store have this product? I wonder how much it costs?"
The shopkeeper was a middle-aged woman who still had charm. She glanced at Chen Lin, then lazily stretched her waist and stood up from the chair.
"Fellow Daoist, you are joking, how could my little shop have such a thing?"
Chen Lin suddenly looked disappointed and turned to leave.
"Wait a minute!"
The female shopkeeper stopped Chen Lin, saw him turning around, smiled and said: "My fellow Taoist is quite impatient. Although my shop doesn't have this kind of thing, I know where it can be found."
Chen Lin looked at the other party expressionlessly, "What does the shopkeeper mean?"
With the other party's cautious attitude, it's probably impossible to tell him the information easily.
Sure enough, the female shopkeeper held out a finger and said, "With a piece of spiritual crystal, I will tell you this information!"
Chen Lin sneered and said, "The shopkeeper really dares to open his mouth like a lion. Do you think I am a victim?"
A low-level spiritual treasure only contains more than fifty spiritual crystals. The other party dared to ask for a spiritual crystal just by telling him a piece of information. He was simply treating him as a fool.
It was probably because he was too eager when he first asked, which made the other party think of getting a benefit for nothing.
"hehe."
The female shopkeeper smiled lightly.
"Fellow Taoist, don't be so excited. Even though my shop is not big, I, Qu Sanniang, have always been a good child. Since I want a piece of spiritual crystal, it means that this piece of information is worth the price, and besides me, there is no one else in Qianyuan City other than me.
Anyone who knows the location of this object probably won’t find it.”
"oh?"
Chen Lin became interested.
Judging from the other party's appearance, he really wasn't taking advantage of someone's situation.
After thinking for a while, he said: "A piece of spiritual crystal is not impossible, but are you sure that I can get the Lantern Fruit according to your information?"
The female shopkeeper shook her head, "Then I can't guarantee it. I can only guarantee that the place I mentioned will definitely have this thing, but whether you can get it depends on your ability, fellow Taoist."
Chen Lin frowned when he heard this.
When the other party said this, it showed that it was very difficult to obtain this object.
After thinking for a while, he asked again: "Then this thing is in the hands of a certain person. In which dangerous place is it located? Can the shopkeeper tell me?"
If it's in a dangerous place, forget it. He doesn't want to take risks now. If it's in someone's hands, he can try to trade it and use a piece of spiritual crystal to buy the information. He just holds his nose and admits it.
The female shopkeeper held out two fingers and said, "This information is worth two top-quality spiritual stones!"
Chen Lin's face darkened and he said speechlessly: "The shopkeeper really knows how to do business, no wonder the shop is so prosperous."
Although he ridiculed the other party, he still took out two top-quality spiritual stones.
The female shopkeeper didn't care about Chen Lin's words, she took the spirit stone over with a smile, and then said: "What fellow Taoist wants is in the hands of one person, and this person is within the control of Qianyuan Sect."
Chen Lin had no reaction this time and said calmly: "The shopkeeper told me so clearly. It seems that this person is not easily accessible. I'm afraid it will be difficult to obtain this thing, right?"
The female shopkeeper sat back on the chair, stretched her waist again, and said, "It depends on your ability, fellow Taoist. If the fellow Taoist has a strong identity and background, the other party may give it to you for free."
Seeing that the other party was a little impatient, Chen Lin stopped talking and directly took out a piece of spiritual crystal and placed it on the counter.
The female shopkeeper swiped her hand and put the spirit crystal into her cuffs.
"Thousands of miles west of the city, at True Light Mountain, the leader of the Green Scale Clan!"
After giving an address, he stopped talking.
Chen Lin saw this and said nothing, got up and left the store.
After a little inquiry, I found out the origin of the Green Scale Clan of True Light Mountain. They were not a family of monks, but a foreign race.
People of this race are covered with
It has fine blue scales, hence its name.
This clan is very mysterious. Except for the occasional clan members who come to the city to buy some supplies, they have almost no contact with the outside world. No one knows how strong they are and what abilities they are good at.
Of course, the senior officials of the Qianyuan Sect must know about it, but he has no access to it.
Chen Lin couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Alien monks are different from human monks. They are a peculiar group. Whether it is their cultivation methods or their way of dealing with the world, they are far from normal monks.
Even the body structure is different from that of humans.
And this race is so low-key. If he went there directly, he might not be able to see the person in charge of the other party.
After all, he was only in the early stage of Nascent Soul cultivation. He could be called a strong man in the lower realm, but in this upper realm, he was just a middle-level monk, and he didn't have much face.
After thinking about it for a while, Chen Lin decided to wait until he met someone from the Qinglin tribe in the city, and try to make contact first before making the next step.
Anyway, the Three Yang Xuan Guang Sha hasn't been collected yet, so even if you get the Ran Deng Fruit, you won't be able to start the alchemy furnace.
Although Sanyang Xuanguang Evil is rare, it is only a high-level evil spirit with extremely wide uses. As long as a sufficient price is paid, someone will still take it out.
In the following days, Chen Lin lived in Qianyuan City, secretly collecting various materials while waiting for the people from the Qinglin Clan.
In the blink of an eye, three months passed by.
What made Chen Lin depressed was that for three months, he went to Fangshi almost every day, but he didn't meet anyone from Qinglin.
He even entrusted several stores where he often purchased materials to help keep an eye on it, but he didn't receive any news.
This Green Scale Clan really lives in seclusion and is too low-key.
However, the people of the Qinglin tribe did not wait, and other gains were not small. Not only did they acquire a copy of Sanyang Xuanguangsha, but they also gathered together the materials for refining the spiritual body with fire.
In this case, Chen Lin asked several shops he was familiar with to continue to help him keep an eye on the people of the Qinglin tribe, while he stayed in the cave and began to refine his spiritual body.
Another three months have passed.
Chen Lin stood in the cave, looking at the body in front of him that exuded a strong aura of fire attributes, showing a look of satisfaction.
This spiritual body is really difficult to refine. It not only consumes a lot of rare materials, but also almost fails several times. Fortunately, he has the help of talents, otherwise he would never be able to refine it successfully.
After carefully checking the spirit body to make sure there was nothing wrong with it, he put it in a large jade box.
Then he was ready to continue purchasing materials and refine the shadow puppet in one go.
But he didn't act immediately.
Because there is no money!
Purchasing Sanyang Xuanguangsha and the materials for refining the spiritual body almost used up his reserve of spiritual stones.
The main consumption is still in refining the spiritual body.
The reason is that without the replenishment of luck items, the natural ability is limited, which leads to too many failures when smelting materials, and a large amount of materials are wasted.
In fact, this is normal weapon refining consumption.
Whether it is an alchemist, a weapon refiner, a talisman master or any other profession, when refining a new item, you need to consume a lot of materials to improve your proficiency, and then you can increase the success rate little by little. This is why no matter which profession
The reason why all the masters only refine a few items.
To bite off more than you can chew, instead of wasting a lot of materials on researching new items, it is better to maximize the success rate of an item.
As long as you have a good skill, you can make a lot of money.
But Chen Lin has become accustomed to the "omnipotence" of his natural abilities, and it is difficult to tolerate this situation. However, he also knows that relying entirely on his natural abilities is not a good thing, and the right way is to improve his own level.
The understanding of item refining is actually a kind of practice. Relying on external items can only obtain short-term benefits, but it does not help long-term development.
With this idea in mind, Chen Lin began to refine elixirs in the normal way and hone his alchemy skills.
The initial stage is naturally very uncomfortable.
Repeated failures damaged his confidence.
But he was not discouraged, nor did he use his natural ability to make corrections. Instead, he started refining low-level elixirs and gradually improved the level of the elixirs.
Slowly, his state of mind calmed down, and his understanding of alchemy gradually deepened.
During this period, Chen Lin brought Xiaocao back from the nightmare world.
The cultivation environment in Qianyuan City was good, so he was not in a hurry to go to the Jinling Mountains and decided to stay here for a few more years.
On the one hand, he likes this stable cultivation environment very much. Since he embarked on the road of cultivation, he has been constantly running around, and it is rare to have such a stable time.
In addition, he also wanted to take this opportunity to repair the Black Tortoise Shield, the Purple Spirit Ring, and warm up the spirit of the weapon.
From here to the Jinling Mountains, you have to pass through several dangerous places. Without the Lingbao nearby, the danger will be much higher.
In the days that followed, Chen Lin practiced alchemy and alchemy at the same time. In his spare time, he studied elixir prescriptions and alchemy theory, and occasionally went out to buy some materials. He lived a peaceful and fulfilling life.
He even opened a small shop specializing in selling the elixirs he refined, and hired a female Qi practitioner to be the shopkeeper.
It's not that he has any interest in this female cultivator, but that she has a simple background, is not old, and has good qualifications. If after observation, she has a good character, he plans to accept her as a disciple.
Qianyuan City is connected in all directions and is a hub in the northern part of the continent. There are all kinds of monks coming and going here. It is a good place to explore information. He plans to train a few people to stay here to master the information about the North for him, and at the same time, they can also help
Collect some materials.
And only such people who have been cultivated from the Qi training period can be loyal.
"How are sales these days?"
Chen Lin walked into his small shop and saw the "shopkeeper" wiping the counter, and knew that business was not going well.
Even Qi Practitioners can cast cleaning spells without having to clean up by themselves, which is really boring.
But this is not the fault of others. The main reason is that without the blessing of talent and ability, the elixirs he refined are not very good in appearance, and he is unwilling to lower the price, so he is not competitive.
When the female cultivator saw Chen Lin coming in, she immediately put the tablecloth aside and whispered with an awe-inspiring expression: "Xiaoyu is incompetent and can't run the owner's shop. Why don't we ask the owner to find another shopkeeper?"
Although Chen Lin gave her a lot of monthly money and she really needed this job, a bottle of pills had not been sold for several days in a row, and she really had no shame in continuing to be the shopkeeper.
Chen Lin smiled, waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, how can business be smooth sailing? Take your time and don't rush. The main reason I came here today is to ask you something. Are you willing to become my teacher?"
