Chen Lin had just packed up his stall and walked a short distance, intending to go into Zhao's Trading Company to see what was going on, when he was stopped by someone.
"Fellow Daoist He?"
Chen Lin was stunned. Speak of the devil and he will appear.
It was He Xiao.
"It is indeed Fellow Daoist Lin. I thought I had recognized the wrong person just now. I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Lin is so wealthy that he even has the skin of a 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, "I don't have any wealth at all. It's just a coincidence that I got it by luck. Has Fellow Daoist He been in the market these days?"
He Xiao laughed and said, "That's right, if you have anything to ask, you can come to me. And I have to remind you that Luo Ziqing is not someone you can easily deal with. You have to be careful when dealing with him!"
Chen Lin nodded immediately. "Thank you for the reminder, Fellow Daoist He. I will leave here after the trade fair is over. I don't think I will have any dealings 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, saying, "If you can't find the items you like outside, you can go to the small exchange fair of Zhao's Trading Company to have a look. This is an invitation talisman."
"A small swap meet?"
Chen Lin took the talisman in his hand doubtfully, feeling a little puzzled.
"Haha, fellow Daoist, just go to Zhao's Trading Company and you'll know. I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now!"
The other party didn't explain, just smiled and turned away.
Chen Lin looked at the talisman in his hand and walked towards Zhao’s Trading Company.
As the largest trading company in the market, there are naturally a lot of people in Zhao's Trading Company, and the things here are much higher-end than those of other companies.
The most important thing is that in the entire market, only his family sells pills. Even if other families have them, they only have one or two pills occasionally.
Of course, this refers to more advanced elixirs, such as Qi-replenishing elixirs and healing elixirs, which are not so scarce.
This is very similar to the situation in Kaiyuan City. It seems that elixirs are a scarce resource no matter where they are.
The reason for this is naturally because the Zhao Company has its own alchemist, and apart from his family, the only other alchemist in Guyuan City is the Kaoshan Sect.
Because there were too many customers, no one paid any attention to Chen Lin when he came in. He could only take the initiative to find a waiter, take out the talisman that He Xiao gave him and ask about the situation.
As soon as the talisman was taken out, the guy's attitude immediately improved a lot.
"So you are the distinguished guest invited by Lord He. This is the invitation talisman of our store. Holding the talisman, you can participate in the small trade fair organized by our store. The venue is upstairs of our store, but the time has not yet arrived. It will start at noon..."
The guy explained what a mini swap meet was.
To put it bluntly, it is an advanced version of a trade fair. Zhao's Trading Company sent people to invite monks who seemed to be wealthy to hold a small auction-like event here.
But what is different from a normal auction is that in addition to the Zhao Company auctioning some things on site, other cultivators can also trade freely and barter.
But the guy said that at the trade fair, no matter who proposed the deal, Zhao's Company has the priority to trade all the items. The purpose of the other party holding this small exchange fair is for this purpose.
In return, Zhao's Company invited a senior Qigong Great Perfection cultivator to give lectures and exchange cultivation experiences with all participants.
Upon hearing this condition, Chen Lin immediately became interested.
Not to mention whether he could get good stuff in the trade, just the opportunity to exchange cultivation experiences was worth his participation.
After asking about the specific start time, Chen Lin left temporarily.
Next, he started buying the things he needed.
The things in the shop were much more expensive than those at the stalls, and what he needed were not precious items, so he continued to choose at the stalls.
"What's this?"
Chen Lin came to a stall filled with various toy-like items and asked in confusion.
The stall owner was a chubby third-level Qi training cultivator who looked very plump. As there were not many customers, he was sitting on a stool listlessly.
Seeing Chen Lin asking, the fat monk suddenly became alert.
"Fellow Daoist, you have good eyesight!"
The fat monk jumped up from the stool, gave a thumbs up, and gave a thumbs up without saying a word.
Chen Lin's face darkened.
What the hell are these? He can't even recognize what these things are, so how can he have good eyesight
Is this a compliment or an insult
The fat monk also reacted at this moment, and said with a grin, "It was a slip of the tongue, purely a slip of the tongue. These are mechanical puppets, which are rare and good things. Daoist friend, would you like a few?"
Chen Lin almost laughed to death.
"When did I say I wanted to buy a few? Tell me first what this mechanical puppet of yours is used for!"
Mechanical puppets are also one of the hundred arts of cultivating immortals. Through special methods, puppets similar to robots are made, which can have different functions.
There are combat types and there are support types.
This kind of thing has basically never been seen in Kaiyuan City, and the relevant knowledge comes from the original owner's memory, so he wants to see what's special about it.
"Okay, fellow Taoist, just watch!"
The fat monk jumped to the stall, picked up a tiger-shaped puppet, opened the shell on its back, took out a spirit stone and put it inside, then put it on the ground.
Then, the fat monk shouted and pointed with his hand, "Get up!"
Following the fat monk's low shout, the tiger puppet suddenly raised its two front paws.
Chen Lin's eyes suddenly lit up.
This thing is quite interesting!
He saw that the other party was controlling the puppet through mental power, so this thing had reached the level of a magical weapon.
But when he stared for a long time, wanting to see the power of the puppet, he saw the fat monk retract his hand and the tiger puppet returned to its original state.
"How about it, fellow Daoist, isn't it awesome!"
The fat monk dug the spirit stone out of the puppet's back and looked proud at Chen Lin.
That’s it
Chen Linqiang forced a smile and nodded, saying, "Daoyou's puppet is really unexpected. Not bad, not bad!"
As he spoke, Chen Lin quickly left the stall.
No matter how the fat monk called out to him, he did not turn back.
He felt it was shabby to buy this thing as a pet. He had wanted to take a look at a few others, but lost interest.
Although he had no intention of buying it, this thing gave Chen Lin a new idea. If he could get the refining method, he could try to see if his innate ability could produce it.
Of course, something so childish won’t work. It needs to be powerful, at least to reach the combat effectiveness of the middle stage of Qi training to be useful.
Chen Lin looked back, memorized the location of the other party's stall, and decided to come over when there were fewer people around to ask if he could buy the refining method from the other party.
There are too many people and too many eyes now, which is not very convenient.
