When Chen Lin heard the shopkeeper's question, he felt dazed.
The scenes of Kaiyuan City appeared in his mind one by one, and finally Zhang Mazi's big face appeared, overlapping with that of Shopkeeper Shen.
He shook his head, threw the picture away, and then laughed and joked: "No, why does the shopkeeper want to matchmake for me? Could it be that the daughter of the Shen family has taken a fancy to me? Then I am really flattered!"
Behind the Treasure Pavilion is Qingyun Sect's foundation-building elder Shen Qianzhong. Chen Lin had already inquired about this. After all, they were going to be long-term partners, so he had to know more about them.
The Shen family has a good reputation and is also a large family, but he has no plans to find a Taoist partner right now. It was just a joke.
The shopkeeper also smiled and said, "I can't make the decision about the daughter of the Shen family. I don't have a daughter myself, but my wife has a niece from her mother's side. She is very pretty and of good age. She is now an outer disciple of the Qingyang Sect. If you are interested, I can introduce her to you."
Chen Lin felt relieved.
This shopkeeper was quite good. At least he didn't introduce any widows or mistresses to me. He even gave up his wife's niece. Although he might have recruited her because of my ability to make pills, he finally showed his sincerity.
"Thank you for your kindness, boss. I have no plans to start a family right now. I want to try my best on the path of Taoism. I am sorry to disappoint you."
Chen Lin politely declined.
The shopkeeper didn't say anything more. Taoist companionship cannot be forced.
He just had this idea, and it is not certain whether his wife's niece would agree or not.
But he is an alchemist who can also make talismans. He doesn't look very old and his cultivation is not weak. If there is no problem with his character and identity, he will definitely be a good destination.
After the matter was revealed, Chen Lin bought some materials and then said goodbye and left.
"Hey, Brother Lin, you're here to buy something. You have a really good eye. The things in my uncle's store are absolutely of high quality and low price. No one is cheated!"
As soon as he walked out of the door, he ran into a woman wearing the uniform of a Qingyang Sect disciple. It turned out to be Ling Ziyan, who led him to the cave that day.
A strange look flashed across Chen Lin's eyes, and he smiled and nodded, then left without saying a word.
Ling Ziyan glanced at Chen Lin's back suspiciously, feeling that his eyes were a little strange, but she didn't think much about it and walked into the store.
Chen Lin felt it was interesting all the way to the cave. He didn't expect that the girl that Shopkeeper Shen wanted to introduce to him was this girl.
Putting aside his identity as an alchemist, he really is not worthy of her.
After all, the other person looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old, while he was already in his forties. Although he looked younger after practicing the Vajra Body Refining Technique and using the Marrow Cleansing Pill, his real age was still like this.
Besides, she is a disciple of Qingyang Sect, has good looks and a higher status than mine.
The shopkeeper is a nice and approachable person.
Chen Lin labeled Shopkeeper Shen as a man with a discerning eye for gems, and decided to sell all the good things to Treasure Pavilion in the future.
It's a pity that I'm used to being alone and I have a lot of secrets. I don't want to have someone around me, otherwise I would be really tempted.
Chen Lin smacked his lips, sighed, and prepared to enter the cave.
Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he turned around and flew up into the air, came to a cave next to him, and knocked on the stone door twice.
The cave door opened, revealing Qian Li's nasty face.
"You, Brother Lin, your visit to my humble home really brings honor to my humble abode!"
When Qian Li saw that it was Chen Lin, he was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and joked.
The relationship between the two is neither unfamiliar nor too familiar, it's just a friendship forged while bathing in the cold pond.
However, Qian Li is very outgoing and carefree, so he was able to get in touch with Chen Lin. Otherwise, with Chen Lin's personality that everyone looks like a bad person, it would be impossible for him to have friends.
"Nothing, I just want to ask you, do you know anything about Fairy Zixia?"
Chen Lin was still thinking about the Peach Blossom Evil and wanted to confirm from many aspects whether he could buy this item from the Ye family.
As far as he knew, Qian Li's Qian family was also a large family. Although he was a cultivator from another place, he seemed to have some relationship with an elder of the Qingyang Sect and should know some specific circumstances.
The evil spirit is very important to him, and he cannot rely on the Zhenbao Pavilion alone.
Hearing Chen Lin's question, Qian Li immediately became alert, "Why, do you also want to pursue my goddess? Then don't blame me for being disloyal, brother?"
Chen Lin's face darkened, and he said speechlessly: "Don't worry, no one is interested in your goddess, they just want to ask some questions."
He is used to this guy's narcissism. It's all talk. If he really goes up to chase Fairy Zixia, his calves would probably tremble.
Qian Li had no idea that Chen Lin was complaining about him in his heart. When he heard that Chen Lin didn't want to touch his goddess, his face suddenly brightened.
"Hahaha, just kidding. I have always regarded brothers as my own hands and feet, and women as my clothes. If you really have this idea, I won't blame you. Don't stand outside, come and visit my cave first!
Chen Lin was stunned.
Visiting caves is an act that rarely happens among cultivators.
The main reason is that every cultivator has his own secrets, and there are no laws in the world of immortal cultivation. Murder and robbery often occur, and trust is very difficult to establish.
Some partners don't even live together, and live separately except during their dual cultivation time.
The other party was really open-minded and did not treat him as an outsider.
After hesitating for a while, Chen Lin still refused and said, "I won't visit the cave. Let's do it another day. I just want to ask if you are familiar with the Ye family and the information about the Peach Blossom Evil."
Chen Lin did not enter the cave, and Qian Li did not care.
He teased, "Why, you also practiced the charm technique, but your image will greatly reduce the effect of the technique, and even the peach blossom evil can't save you, haha!"
Chen Lin was speechless: "I am a grown man, why am I practicing some kind of enchanting technique? I just want to use my evil spirit to refine my body."
This guy can bring up any topic related to matters between men and women.
Qian Li showed a look of sudden realization, "Oh right, Fellow Daoist Lin practiced the body-refining technique, I actually overlooked this point. Speaking of which, our Qian family and the Ye family do have some relationship, but not very close, mainly because my cultivation is too low, I can't have a say, it would be better if my father came over."
Without waiting for Chen Lin to respond, he spoke again, "But as far as I know, Peach Blossom Evil doesn't seem to have much effect on body refining. Its value lies in the special energy in the evil spirit that stimulates desire. After condensing it in the body, it can possess the power of charm. Fairy Zixia originally has a body of natural charm, so it's just right for her to use this. You wanted to use it for body refining but you chose the wrong person."
"Ah, is that so?"
Chen Lin frowned. Shopkeeper Shen really didn’t mention this information. He didn’t know whether he didn’t understand it or concealed it on purpose, or felt that there was no need to say it.
"In that case, thank you for your advice, I will treat you to a feast at Lingshan Restaurant in the city some other day!"
Chen Lin clasped his fists.
The information from the other party was very useful. It made him give up the idea of getting the Peach Blossom Evil and avoid wasting time thinking about it all day long.
Qian Li laughed loudly, and suddenly winked and said, "What's the point of Lingshan Building? Qingyang Sect is going to hold a large-scale natural treasure trade fair. I got the news that Wuzhen Building will also be there. We brothers can go over there and play around. The female cultivators there are really unforgettable!"
"What? You're going to hold a trade fair? Why haven't I heard about it?"
Chen Lin ignored the Wuzhen Building and was surprised that he didn't know about such a big thing as the trade fair.
Qian Li was very dissatisfied with Chen Lin's lack of understanding of romance, and curled his lips and said, "You practice all day long, what can you know? The trade fair will be held at the end of the month, and it will be very large. The main thing is that two of the Eight Beauties of Wuzhen from Wuzhen Building will be there..."
