Seeing the red line again, it was still so spectacular and shocking.
But Chen Lin’s mood is different now.
On the one hand, I knew the origin of the red line, and on the other hand, I also had a way to leave, so I was not so scared anymore.
However, even with Yu Yuehai's promise, it is still unknown whether the process of leaving will be smooth or not. After all, he relies on the foundation-building masters, not that he himself is a foundation-building master.
In addition to being careful about being targeted by the weirdness again after cutting the red line, the wild is not completely peaceful. There are various monsters and unpredictable dangers.
It is impossible to protect the other person desperately when he is in danger.
Therefore, we still need to prepare some means of self-defense.
Time is running out, and it is impossible to improve his cultivation, so he plans to refine more Thunderbolt Beads.
With the storage bag, the problem of carrying the Thunderbolt Bead is solved. This thing is not useful if used in small quantities, but once used in large quantities, it is very lethal to low-level monsters and Qi-cultivating monks.
The key is that the raw materials are cheap and he can afford them.
Not knowing when he would leave, Chen Lin did not delay any longer and headed straight for the inner city market early the next morning.
Then, he learned a shocking news.
Just last night, several shops in the market town were ransacked and countless treasures were stolen!
The market town is now in chaos, and the city guards of the five major families are interrogating each household.
When Chen Lin saw this scene, he suddenly thought of what Yu Yuehai said yesterday. Could this be the way the other party meant by not leaving empty-handed
After a rough count, six stores were looted, two of which were high-end stores.
This money comes too quickly!
Chen Lin's heart was burning with passion, and his eyes shone with a captivating light.
But it immediately went out.
It's true that you can win a gold belt by killing people and setting fires, but it's a pity that you have to have the ability to do so.
Yu Yuehai dared to do this only after he was promoted to the Foundation Establishment Stage. Before that, he had been abiding by the rules as always. For him, a man in the middle stage of Qi training, who still wanted to rob others, it was good enough that he didn't get robbed.
Moreover, Yu Yuehai did not seem to have touched the shops of the five major families.
Forget it, I'd better just continue to live quietly.
Although he understood it in his heart, he still couldn't help but feel greedy, which he suppressed forcefully.
"Why, are you tempted? Do you also want to plunder before leaving?"
A voice sounded from the side, instantly waking up Chen Lin who was fighting against greed.
"So it's Fellow Daoist Ye. How come you are here? Have you returned to Shuiyue Pavilion?"
When he saw it was Ye Jingyun, Chen Lin immediately bowed.
Seeing that there was no one around, he reached into his robe and fumbled around for a while, preparing to take out the other person's things from the storage bag and hand them over to him.
Unexpectedly, the other party gave him a look and then walked away to a secluded place.
"How's it going? Is it successful?"
Only after walking out of the market town did Ye Jingyun stop and look at Chen Lin with a nervous and expectant expression.
"Fortunately, I have accomplished my mission."
Chen Lin took out the talisman and handed it to the other party.
Then he took out several other items one by one and handed them over reluctantly.
In fact, he had thought about deceiving the other party and saying that he had failed, but after thinking it over, he decided not to do so.
On the one hand, he was afraid that the other party might have some special means to interrogate him. On the other hand, he always felt that this woman and Yu Yuehai were not as close as they seemed.
If his guess is correct, it might help him get rid of Yu Yuehai in the future.
Of course, this is all speculation and has no basis, but as long as there is a glimmer of possibility, it is worth a try.
"Yes, you have really succeeded in refining it. Fellow Daoist Chen's luck is indeed extraordinary!"
Ye Jingyun took the talisman and took a look at it, and was immediately surprised.
However, she did not look closely. Instead, she took all the things and put them into the storage bag. Then she stared at Chen Lin for a while and said, "Remember, Yu Yuehai must not know about this. Don't ask why. You just need to know that this is good for both you and me."
After that, the other party reminded: "The city may be in chaos in the next few days, so you should stay at home and don't come out. Although Yu Yuehai asked me to follow you secretly, I also have some things to do."
"Oh, yes, all right."
Chen Lin quickly agreed.
At the same time, his doubts were resolved. It turned out that Yu Yuehai was not left alone, but was handed over to the other party to keep an eye on him.
If I really seek refuge with the five major families, I'm afraid I will inevitably learn another lesson.
But as one doubt was resolved, another, bigger doubt arose.
Why did the other party tell me this and what was his purpose
This time, the other party didn't even call Yu Yuehai "senior brother", but called him by his name. Was it an unintentional act or was he intentionally expressing something to him
Looking at Ye Jingyun's disappearing figure, Chen Lin's eyes became deep.
…
Now that he had been reminded, Chen Lin stopped wandering around and hurriedly bought some things before preparing to return.
Supplies are extremely scarce now, and it is impossible to buy good things, and he no longer has the purchasing power.
There are still some Power Talismans and Fireball Talismans, but their value is too low and they cannot be sold for many Spirit Stones.
The Enlightenment Pill can be refined at any time, but unfortunately if you sell it with that appearance, you will definitely be considered a liar.
As for the Chu Yuan Dan, there were only three left. He kept them for himself and did not plan to sell them to avoid getting into trouble.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, what a coincidence!"
As I was walking, a familiar figure suddenly blocked my way.
"Is it you?"
Chen Lin was surprised for a moment. He didn't expect to meet the other person again.
The thin and malnourished woman was Xu Ruolan.
He didn't believe that this was a chance encounter, and said expressionlessly: "Friend Xu, what do you want to talk to me about? Please let me know in advance. The pills are sold but they are not refundable."
Xu Ruolan's face darkened, but she immediately forced a smile and said, "You are worrying too much, my friend. I came to you because I still want to trade with you again."
Chen Lin stared at the other party and asked, "What deal?"
Although this woman's cultivation level was not high, she had a lot of treasures on her body, and he had taken advantage of her in the previous two transactions, so he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
"Of course it's the elixir."
Xu Ruolan looked around and saw that no one was around, then continued, "I already used up the two pills from you yesterday, but I'm still a little short of a breakthrough, so I want to exchange one from you."
Neither of them broke through
Chen Lin grinned, this person's aptitude is not as good as his!
After a moment of silence, he nodded, "I do have some pills here, but this is the last one. I originally wanted to keep it for my own use. Since you are in urgent need, it is not impossible to sell it to you."
"But you also know that after what happened in the market today, it will be impossible to buy elixirs in the future. The prices will not be too low."
Make it clear first to prevent the other party from trying to gain sympathy.
Xu Ruolan was about to speak when her demeanor suddenly changed. She raised her chin proudly, squinted her eyes and sneered, "Who am I? If something slips out from between my fingers, it will be enough for you to use for half your life. How can I take advantage of you?"
Chen Lin's eyes flickered slightly.
The other party had not shown any 'symptoms' during the last contact, and he thought that the other party had some special method to block the control of the red line. Now it seems that he was overthinking.
"Very good, then let me see what treasure you want to trade with me, but let me be clear, I don't need spirit stones, I only accept barter."
The supplies in the city are extremely scarce now, and you can’t buy good things even with spirit stones. Moreover, compared to spirit stones, what he covets more is the treasures on the other party.
