Chen Lin had just put away his stall and hadn't gone far. He planned to go to Zhao's Trading Company to see the excitement when he was stopped by a man.
"Congratulations to fellow Taoist?"
Chen Lin was stunned. He really said Cao Cao and Cao Cao were here.
It was He Xiao.
"As expected, it is Fellow Daoist Lin. I thought I had recognized the wrong person just now, but I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Lin is very rich and actually owns the python skin of the Green Flame Python."
Chen Lin's heart trembled. The other party had been paying attention to him for a long time.
Not knowing what the other party meant, Chen Lin could only smile bitterly and said: "What kind of wealth is there? It's just an accidental gain due to good luck. Has He Daoyou been in the market these days?"
He Xiao laughed and said: "Yes, fellow Taoist, if you have anything to do, you can come to me, and I want to remind you that Luo Ziqing is not a kind person, so you should be careful when dealing with him!"
Chen Lin nodded immediately, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist He, for reminding me. I will be leaving here after the trade fair is over, so I probably won't have much to do with you."
He Xiao was very satisfied with Chen Lin's attitude. He suddenly took out a palm-sized talisman and handed it to Chen Lin and said: "If Fellow Daoist Lin can't buy the items you like outside, you can go to the small exchange meeting of Zhao's Trading Company to have a look.
Look, this is an invitation."
"Small swap meet?"
Chen Lin took the talisman in his hand doubtfully, a little confused.
"Haha, fellow Taoist, just go and have a look at Zhao's Trading Company and you'll know. I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave first!"
The other party didn't explain, smiled and turned around.
Chen Lin looked at the talisman in his hand and walked towards Zhao's Trading Company.
As the largest trading firm in the city, Zhao's Trading Firm naturally has a lot of people in it, and the things here are also much higher-end than other shops.
The most important thing is that in the entire city, his family is the only one selling elixirs, and even if other stores have them, there are only one or two that appear occasionally.
Of course, this refers to higher-end elixirs, such as Qi-boosting elixirs and healing elixirs, which are not that scarce.
This is very similar to the situation in Kaiyuan City. It seems that pills are a scarce resource no matter where they are.
The reason for this is naturally because Zhao's Trading Company has its own alchemist, and apart from his family, the only other alchemist in Guyuan City is the Guoshan Sect.
Because there were too many customers, no one paid attention to Chen Lin after he came in. He could only take the initiative to find a waiter and take out the talisman that He Xiao gave him to ask about the situation.
As soon as the talisman was taken out, the clerk's attitude immediately improved a lot.
"It turns out that he is a distinguished guest invited by Mr. He. This is the invitation talisman of our store. With this talisman, you can participate in the small trade fair organized by our store. The location is upstairs in our store, but the time is not yet up. It will not start until noon..."
The guy explained what a small swap meet is.
To put it bluntly, it was a high-end version of a trade fair. Zhao's Trading Company sent people to invite monks who looked wealthy and held a small auction-like thing here.
But unlike a normal auction, in addition to the Zhao's Trading Company auctioning some items, other monks can also freely trade and barter.
But the guy said that in the trade fair, no matter who proposed the transaction, Zhao's Trading Company has the priority to trade all items. This is the purpose of the other party's small exchange meeting.
In return, Zhao's Trading Company invited a senior qi-training Dzogchen monk to give lectures and share their cultivation experiences with all participants.
Upon hearing this condition, Chen Lin's interest immediately increased.
Not to mention whether he can get good things from the transaction, just this exchange of cultivation experience is worth his participation.
After asking for a specific time to start, Chen Lin left temporarily.
Next, he started buying the items he needed.
The things in the shop were much more expensive than those at the stalls, and what he needed was not something precious, so he continued to choose from the stalls.
"What's this?"
Chen Lin came to a stall filled with various toy-like items and asked doubtfully.
The stall owner is a chubby third-level Qi practitioner who looks very rich. Because there are not many customers, he is sitting listlessly on the stool.
Seeing Chen Lin asking, the fat monk suddenly became energetic.
"Tao friendly eyesight!"
The fat monk jumped up from his stool, stretched out his thumb, and gave a thumbs up without saying a word.
Chen Lin's face darkened.
What and what? He doesn’t even know what this is, so he has good eyesight?
Is this a compliment or a disservice?
The fat monk also reacted at this moment, and said with a smile: "Slip of the tongue, purely a slip of the tongue. These are machine puppets, but they are rare and good things. How many of them are there, fellow Taoist?"
Chen Lin almost lost his temper.
"Whenever I say I want to buy it, I will bring you a few. You can first tell me what the use of your mechanism puppet is!"
Mechanical puppets are also one of the various arts of cultivating immortals. Robot-like puppets are made through special methods and can have different functions.
There are combat types and auxiliary types.
This kind of thing has basically never been seen in Kaiyuan City, and the relevant knowledge still comes from the memory of the original owner, so he wanted to see what was special about it.
"Okay, fellow Taoist, look at it!"
The fat monk jumped to the stall, picked up a tiger-shaped puppet, opened the shell on the back, took out a spiritual stone, put it in, and then placed it on the ground.
Then, I heard the fat monk shout loudly and point his hand, "Get up!"
Following the fat monk's shout, the tiger puppet suddenly raised its two front paws.
Chen Lin's eyes suddenly lit up.
This thing is a bit interesting!
He could see that the other party controlled the puppet through mental power, so this object had reached the category of a magical weapon.
But when he stared for a long time, wanting to see the power of this puppet, he saw the fat monk put his hand away, and the tiger puppet returned to its original state.
"How about you fellow Taoist? You're awesome!"
The fat monk dug the spirit stone out of the puppet's back and looked at Chen Lin proudly.
That's it?
Chen Linqiang forced out a smile, nodded and said: "Fellow Taoist, this puppet is really unexpected. Not bad, not bad!"
As he spoke, Chen Lin quickly left the stall.
No matter how the fat monk summoned him, he never looked back.
He thought it was shabby to buy this thing as a pet. He originally wanted to see a few others, but he lost interest.
Although he has no intention of buying it, this thing has opened up new ideas for Chen Lin. If he can get the refining method, he can try to see if his innate ability can make it.
Of course, being so childish won't work. It needs to be powerful, at least to have combat effectiveness in the middle stage of Qi training.
Chen Lin looked back, remembered the location of the other party's stall, and decided to come over when there were fewer people and ask if he could buy the refining method from the other party.
Nowadays, there are many people and it is not convenient.
