The atmosphere in the cabin becomes particularly tense as Mrs. Bai Gu chooses her lover.
More and more people participated in the election, especially the monks who came later. Basically all of them signed up, and it was obvious that they came here because they heard the news.
Chen Lin couldn't help but secretly complain, could it be that these people wanted to taste the steamed buns that Li Xuanming had eaten and satisfy their cravings? Aren't they afraid that Li Xuanming would get angry and slap them to death
Moreover, Li Xuanming was not the only one who had eaten this steamed bun. I’m afraid it must have been chewed to pieces.
Could it be that there are some benefits to being a concubine that he doesn't know about
While I was thinking about it, the selection was over.
"You, and you, it's just the two of you. Now follow my maid to my residence, wash up and wait for me!"
Madam Bai Gu looked at them for a while, then pointed at two people, one of whom was Zhang Qingfeng!
When Chen Lin saw that Zhang Qingfeng was chosen, his face flushed with excitement. He hurriedly put on his robe and followed Mrs. Bai Gu's maid out of the cabin, as if he was afraid that Mrs. Bai Gu would change her mind.
The other two neighbors who came with them looked envious and jealous, and sat in their seats unwillingly.
The other person who was chosen was a man in the early stage of foundation building. He was also very strong and received many envious looks.
After the farce ended, Master Yunhai congratulated Madam Bai Gu, and then the exchange meeting began.
The rule is to go from strong to weak, starting with the foundation-building cultivators.
An old cultivator in the late foundation-building stage touched his storage bag, and several treasures were taken out, including magic tools, pills, talismans, and everything else.
He just said, "Pick any of these treasures and exchange them for a Blood Spirit Pill!"
No one spoke for a long time.
Chen Lin had never heard of this elixir before, so he thought it must be quite unconventional.
After waiting for a while, the old man shook his head and put the things back.
Then, several foundation-building monks took out various treasures one after another. Chen Lin was quite tempted by some of them, but he couldn't take them out to exchange.
After half an hour, it was the turn of the Qigong practitioner.
Chen Lin was now at the Great Perfection of Qi Training. He stood up first and took out the heavy water beads he had obtained earlier. He said, "Spirit weapon heavy water beads, exchange for ink gold. The more the better. If you don't need a spiritual weapon, you can also make a request directly. As long as I can find a way to get it, it's fine."
Ink gold is a common high-end refining material that can be used in many spiritual weapons, so purchasing it in large quantities will not arouse any suspicion.
This was the trading item he chose after careful consideration.
Moreover, although the heavy water beads are the lowest level spiritual weapon, they are also very valuable, especially in the current situation. The scarcity of spiritual weapons is far greater than that of elixirs, and it immediately attracted a lot of attention.
"My fellow Daoist, I see that you have reached the Great Perfection of Qi Training, and you should be preparing to build your foundation. Here is a foundation building pill. How about exchanging it for your heavy water bead?"
A cultivator in the early stage of foundation building took out a foundation building pill and spoke to Chen Lin.
If it were in peacetime, the price of the Foundation Establishment Pill would definitely be higher than that of the Heavy Water Beads, but in the current situation, the two are not much different.
When the Foundation Establishment Pill came out, there was no reaction from the Foundation Establishment cultivators, but the eyes of the Qi Condensation cultivators immediately lit up. The lowest level of those who came here was at the ninth level of Qi Condensation, and most of them came for the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Chen Lin smiled bitterly in his heart. Not to mention that he was a fake Qi training cultivator, even if he was really in the Qi training stage, he would not take a foundation-building pill seriously.
But he couldn't refuse too bluntly, so he thought for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, senior. My aptitude is low, and it's impossible for me to successfully build my foundation with just one foundation-building pill. The situation is tense now, so I still need to exchange for ink gold to refine a life-saving item."
The Foundation Establishment cultivator frowned, seeming somewhat displeased, but after glancing at Madam White Bone and Master Yunhai on the stage, he suppressed his anger and continued.
At this time, a ninth-level Qi training cultivator stood up and took out a heavy water bead. He bowed and said, "Senior, I also have a heavy water bead here. I am willing to exchange it for the foundation-building pill!"
The foundation-building cultivator was overjoyed, and the two of them successfully reached a deal. At the end, he even glared at Chen Lin.
Chen Lin ignored the other party and continued to look at other people. No one spoke for a long time, and he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
The other materials are not in short supply now, but of this ink gold, we only have the piece from Nanmen Lingyue, and the gap is too big.
Under such circumstances, it might be difficult to gather enough resources in a short period of time. If it really doesn't work, we can only temporarily give up refining the Mo Yin Spirit Boat and seek other ways to cross the sea.
Just as Chen Lin put away the heavy water beads, Madam Bai Gu, who had been watching the fun on the stage, suddenly said, "This Taoist friend has plenty of energy. If you are willing to become my concubine, I will help you find as much ink as you need!"
Swish!
The eyes of all the cultivators were focused on Chen Lin like a spotlight, making Chen Lin feel more pressured than when facing a Jindan Zhenren.
He swallowed his saliva, bowed with a frown on his face, and said, "Thank you for your kindness, madam, but I am devoted to the Tao and have no time for love affairs."
At this point, he changed the subject and said, "But I do have some spiritual milk here. If Madam can provide some ink gold, I am willing to exchange it."
"Oh? You have spiritual milk, how much?"
Mrs. Bai Gu's face, which had already turned cold, showed surprise again. Compared to men, the materials for refining the Seven Star Pill were more important.
Chen Lin immediately took out a jade bottle, wrapped it with magic power, and sent it to the other party.
When he was on Xiaoqiu Island, he got the materials for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill from the shopkeeper of Tongtian Pavilion, so he saved the spiritual milk. What he took out was only a small part of the inventory. The spiritual milk had a wide range of uses, so he had to keep some for himself.
But even this small bottle made Mrs. Bai Gu smile and she nodded with satisfaction.
"Yes, it is indeed spiritual milk, and the age is better than expected. I, Madam Bai Gu, never take advantage of others. I will give you enough ink gold, but I don't have it now, so I need to wait for someone to send it over."
After saying that, he took out a communication talisman and activated it, then put away the spiritual milk.
Chen Lin looked at the other party's actions and didn't say anything. Given the other party's status, he would not seize his treasure in public.
The exchange will continue.
What surprised Chen Lin was that the treasures that the Foundation Establishment cultivator took out did not contain what he needed. Instead, he gained something from the Qi Condensation cultivator. Not only did he exchange for several auxiliary materials for refining the Ink Hidden Spirit Boat, he also traded for a portion of the Ink Scaled Dragon's blood essence.
This item can be used to refine the demon-transforming talisman. Although the demon-transforming talisman is of little significance to the foundation-building cultivators, it can still be sold for a good price.
After a while, the person who brought Mo Jin also arrived. After Mrs. Bai Gu checked it, she handed it to Chen Lin.
Chen Lin was surprised. It turned out to be a storage bag!
When he looked inside, his eyes suddenly lit up. There were three large pieces of ink gold inside, each of which was much larger than the one Nanmen Lingyue had. A rough estimate was that one piece was enough for refining the Mo Yin Ling Zhou.
"Thank you ma'am!"
According to the value estimation, he obviously got the better deal in this transaction. Although the other party had attacked him with eyes before, Chen Lin still thanked him.
Madam Bai Gu waved her hand generously, "It's okay, just some material possessions. If you figure it out in the future, you can always come to me to discuss Taoism. I'm waiting for you, okay?"
Chen Lin was speechless and could only remain silent with a blank expression.
Madam Bai Gu didn't care and continued to watch the monks' transactions below the stage.
The trading session lasted for a very long time. After the first round ended, the second round started again and it took a full two hours to end.
Chen Lin gained a lot and left with satisfaction.
There were four of us when we came, but only three when we left.
After walking for a while, Chen Lin couldn't help wondering and asked his two neighbors, "My two Taoist friends, what magic power does Mrs. White Bone have that makes so many people fight for her position as their favorite? With our cultivation, if we want to find a woman, we can find any beautiful one. Why should we be inferior to others?"
