After some bargaining, Chen Lin finally exchanged the pair of conches for three thousand-year-old spiritual herbs.
He didn't know whether it was a profit or loss, but looking at the Shell Girl's expression of trying hard to suppress her joy, he must have lost money. However, he didn't know why. It seemed that there must be some limitation in using this conch.
But since I had already bought it, there was no point in thinking about it, so I stopped paying attention to it and was soon attracted by the dazzling array of treasures.
“How much does this sell for?”
After walking for a while, Chen Lin's eyes lit up and he saw a bead emitting a hot breath. If he was not mistaken, this thing was one of the fuels that could extract the essence of the soul, the Golden Crow Stone!
Now the treasures for refining fuel have been almost collected. If we can obtain the Golden Crow Stone and collect the other two extremely yang treasures, we can start extracting the essence of the soul.
"Why, do you need the Golden Crow Stone?"
Chen Lin had just opened his mouth to ask when he heard a familiar voice behind him. He turned around and saw that it was Jin Xingyun.
The stall owner was an old man with white eyebrows. When he saw Jin Xingyun, he immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Young Island Master!" It turned out that the other party was also from Jinguan Island.
Jin Xingyun picked up the Golden Crow Stone from the stall and handed it to Chen Lin, saying, "Golden Crow Stone is a specialty of our Jinguang Island. If you need it, just take it and use it!"
Chen Lin hastily declined, "How can that be possible? This Golden Crow Stone is so valuable, I can't just take it for nothing."
Free things are not necessarily truly free. The Golden Crow Stone is expensive and very rare. If he really took it for free, he would be owing a big favor. He and the other party have not yet reached such a relationship.
Jin Xingyun said nonchalantly: "It's just a piece of Golden Crow Stone. Why should you be shy, brother? Take it!"
Chen Lin still shook his head, but he did not refuse. After thinking for a while, he took out a bottle of foundation building pill and said, "Since Brother Jin is so generous, I will not be polite. But I definitely can't take it for free. It just so happens that here is a bottle of foundation building pill that I refined before, so let it be considered as a return gift!"
Foundation Establishment Pills are hard currency, especially for large forces like Jinguan Island, where they are indispensable. The value of one bottle is equal to this Golden Crow Stone, or even more.
Seeing this, Jin Xingyun didn't say anything more, but just shook his head and gave Chen Lin a look that said you are too pedantic.
Then he waved his hand and said, "I just happened to be looking for you, my dear brother. Our bloodline families are jointly organizing a small trade fair. If you have nothing to do, you can come and join us. Bloodline families have a long history and many good things. You may find what you need by chance. Otherwise, if you compete for it at tomorrow's auction, the prices will be sky-high."
Chen Lin was delighted when he heard this and immediately said, "That's great, thank you, Brother Jin!"
He was worried that he had no channel to obtain thunder-attributed skills, and perhaps he could gain something at this trade fair.
Then, he followed the other party to a magnificent building not far away. On the way, he suddenly remembered the matter of the conch, so he asked, "Brother Jin, do you know the Sea Shell Clan?"
"Of course I know about the Sea Shell Clan. It is a special race in the deep sea. Once the royal family members build their foundation, they will transform and gain spiritual intelligence. How did you encounter them?"
Jin Xingyun was an overseas cultivator who had a deep understanding of these sea creatures and could tell the details of the Sea Shell Clan right away.
Chen Lin suddenly realized. No wonder the shell girl was able to transform after building her foundation. It turned out that she was a member of the royal family. However, he didn't know much about the situation in the deep sea. He would pay more attention to relevant books in the future.
"It's like this..."
Chen Lin told him about the purchase of the conch.
Jin Xingyun immediately revealed a teasing expression and said, "With your clever personality, you actually bought that thing and used three thousand-year-old spiritual herbs. Are you thinking about that little shell girl?"
Chen Lin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said, "No matter how much soul color I have, I won't be interested in a mermaid. But the other party said that this conch can transmit sound no matter how far apart we are. Could it be that it's false?"
If the other party really deceived him, then he really has to go back to find the other party.
Jin Xingyun shook her head and said, "I've already told you that this is a mandarin duck conch, so it's not a lie, and the effect is indeed that exaggerated. But to use this conch, you must be a man and a woman who truly love each other, and neither of them can have loved anyone else, or had physical contact with anyone else. Do you think you meet the requirements, or can you do it?"
Chen Lin stood there in a daze.
Just as he thought, the use of this thing is limited, and the restrictions are so outrageous!
Not to mention that he doesn't have someone he truly loves, even if he does, he has had countless women so far. He has been to Wuzhen Tower many times, so he definitely has no chance of having this thing.
Jin Xingyun said leisurely: "This snail is also called the Love Snail. Don't fantasize about it, kid. The Sea Shell Clan is also a large clan and they are very united. Don't go back and cause trouble. Just ask carefully before buying things next time. Every failure makes you wiser."
"But I heard that if two people love each other to the extreme, the kind that is heart-wrenching, they can break through some of the restrictions on the use of this item. I just don't know if you can meet such a person."
Originally, Chen Lin had no plan to go back to look for it, but after what the other party said, he could only consider himself unlucky. With a depressed look on his face, he and the other party came to the building at the destination.
The house was decorated very luxuriously, and because I was brought in by Venus Yun, no one came to question me.
At Jin Xingyun's signal, Chen Lin found a random seat and sat down, while the other party, who was one of the organizers, went to meet other participants with some other people who should be from bloodline families.
After a while, more and more people came, basically all of them were Jindan cultivators. Occasionally, two foundation-building cultivators appeared, and they were both at the perfect foundation-building level. None of them was someone he knew.
There wasn't a single cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage. Of course, there might be some, but their cultivation was hidden so he couldn't tell.
After looking for a while, he looked away and waited for the trade fair to begin.
Suddenly, his expression paused and he saw an acquaintance.
Ancient and modern!
The other party was standing in front of the stage at this moment, and seemed to be one of the organizers. He was talking and laughing with Jin Xingyun, and there was no sign of any hatred between them.
He couldn't help but look surprised. The two of them could be said to be mortal enemies, but they could actually live in peace. Such acting skills really made him ashamed of himself.
He also knew something about Gu Shengjin's family. They were also a bloodline family and the young master of the Red Moon Island, one of the Three Immortal Islands overseas. His strength was also at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core Stage. However, he was not too worried.
Not to mention whether the other party still remembers him, even if he does, it doesn't matter. Fighting is not allowed here. After leaving, with his speed of Thunder Escape Technique in the strong wind and thunderstorm, the other party will not be able to catch up with him.
Of course, he still had to be careful. He thought about it, used the bone-shrinking technique to slightly adjust his face, and used the power of Dharma to conceal his aura.
In this way, as long as the other party does not conduct targeted detection on him and has a deep memory of his breath, they will not discover that he is the person who was once trapped in the disposable Yellow Springs Map.
Just as Chen Lin finished doing these actions, he saw Jin Xingyun on the stage looking at him and giving him a look that told him not to worry, which made him feel a lot more relieved.
Soon, most of the people arrived, and a white-haired old man stood up and walked to the front seat.
This person did not have any imposing aura, but as soon as he stepped onto the stage, the audience suddenly fell silent, and even Jin Xingyun and others on the stage seemed very respectful.
"Haha, everyone, there is no need to be so reserved. I am here just to be your appraiser, so that you won't be unable to make a deal because of treasures you don't recognize."
The old man smiled and looked around, then said with a serious expression: "But today, I want to take this opportunity to talk about something. Our bloodline family is of the same blood. The reason why we can have a foothold in this world of immortal cultivation is that we are united. Therefore, we should not have internal strife, especially when the catastrophe is approaching. We should unite as one, so that we can survive the catastrophe!"
"yes!"
"Master Qing is absolutely right!"
There was an immediate echo from below.
Chen Lin was shocked. What the other party just said seemed to be a clone coming here. In other words, this body was actually a clone
He had only seen the art of clone in classics and had never encountered a real person. This time he learned a lot. He didn't know where this Lord Qing came from and how he could have such ability.
The white-haired old man continued, "There was some friction between Jinguang Island and Hongyue Island before, but now they have restored harmony after my mediation. If your two families have another dispute, don't blame me for being rude!"
"yes!"
"yes!"
The Venusian clouds and the ancient and modern times responded simultaneously.
Seeing this, Chen Lin below finally understood what the look Jin Xingyun gave him just now meant. The two families have now reconciled, no matter whether it is sincere or not, but there must be no more friction, so the previous grudge is over.
The identity of this old man is really extraordinary. He can even suppress the Jin family and the Gu family who are in the middle stage of the Golden Core. His real body should be a powerful person in the late stage of the Nascent Soul without a doubt.
There are indeed more people in the world of immortal cultivation than just those few cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage who have appeared.
"Okay, that's enough business. Let's start the trade fair. I want to see what good things you have gotten over the years. If there is anything that catches my eye, I will definitely give you some benefits."
As soon as he said this, the monks below became excited, as if this old man had a lot of treasures.
However, Chen Lin felt a sense of oppression in his heart. Even this strong man had said that a great catastrophe was coming. The Shell girl had also mentioned the great catastrophe before. It seemed that the great catastrophe was really coming.
No matter what, he had to complete his main cultivation technique before the catastrophe came, and then refine his natal flying sword. It would be best if he could complete the Black Tortoise Shield, so that his chances of survival would be greater.
We can’t continue to pursue perfection!
