Lin’s house on Third Street, west courtyard wing.
Xu Lian's eyes flickered. He didn't expect that someone from a big family would come to rent House No. 1 so soon. Nine hundred spirit stones were received, and this was only one month's rent. It would be even better if they could stay for a few more months.
"I returned to Stone Town and Green Bamboo Town a few days ago. Xiaomei's favorability increased dramatically, and she contributed two advancement points in succession. Now I have 2,000 spirit stones, and the White Cat clone has another 900 spirit stones. I can buy some Qi Condensation Pills first and advance two levels in a row."
He took two thousand spirit stones with him and went out. No matter what time, improving strength is the top priority.
After leaving the Lin family's house, he rode the black horse that Lin Chengyu bought for him and headed straight to the place in the city where spiritual supplies were sold.
He no longer dared to go to the black market to buy Qi Condensation Pills. Last time, he finally bought a genuine one after repeated comparisons and selections. He didn't think he would be so lucky every time.
The most important thing is that skills and props can be identified, but advanced raw materials cannot be identified, unless he adds raw materials directly in the black market. However, there are so many people in the black market that it is not easy to do so to avoid being discovered by others.
"I heard from Hua Rongjun that the places in the city that sell spiritual resources are called Lingcui Building and Zhenbao Pavilion. They are a bit expensive, but they are guaranteed and safe."
Xu Lian came to the most prosperous area of Second Street, the entrance of Lingcui Pavilion.

The servant at the door came over quickly and helped him lead the horse.
The service in a place like this is just great... Xu Lian dismounted from his horse, handed the reins to the servant, and walked inside.
He noticed that the business here was booming, with cultivators coming in and out. Moreover, judging from their temperament and demeanor, he could tell that the cultivators who came here were all people with some financial resources. Ordinary poor cultivators could not afford the things here.
"Sir, what do you need?"
A saleswoman came over, bowed slightly with a smile.
Xu Lian was stunned for a moment. He saw a young woman and a girl who rented House No. 1, Zijia. They were also buying spiritual supplies here and were bargaining with the salesperson.
This made him look at him strangely. Pingyang County was not big, but not small either. Fate was sometimes so magical.
"Sir?"
Seeing that he was distracted, the saleswoman called out to him softly.
Xu Lian came back to his senses, "I want to buy Qi Condensation Pills, do you have any here? How much is it?"
"Yes, please follow me."
The saleswoman smiled and stretched out her hand as a gesture of invitation. She led Xu Lian straight towards the young woman and the girl. The Qi Condensation Pill was on the counter here. Obviously, the young woman and the girl wanted to buy the Qi Condensation Pill.
Seeing Xu Lian coming to buy Qi Condensation Pills, Zhao Yuhe's eyes lit up, not because she knew Xu Lian, but for another reason, "Do you want to buy Qi Condensation Pills too?"
Xu Lian nodded in confusion, "Yes."
Zhao Yuhe said, "Then you can buy together with us. If the quantity is sufficient, there will be a discount."
Zhao Yuqing frowned and pulled Zhao Yuhe, signaling her not to talk to strangers.
Zhao Yuhe puffed her lips and said, "Sister, don't always think that everyone is a bad person. We just got together to buy pills. It's nothing."
Zhao Yuqing looked at Xu Lian and saw that he was a clean and honest young man. She hesitated for a moment and didn't say anything more.
Zhao Yuhe then said to Xu Lian happily, "There is a discount if you buy 20 at a time. My sister and I can buy 8 at a time. How many do you want to buy?"
Xu Lian had already calculated this. He brought two thousand spirit stones, which could buy about eighty of them.
However, he now only knows that two Qi Condensation Pills are needed to advance to the second level of Ming Jin Stage, but he has no idea whether the raw materials needed to advance to the third level of Ming Jin Stage are Qi Condensation Pills, or something else
Therefore, he planned to buy two first and advance to the second level of Ming Jin Stage. Then he could continue to add points to see what raw materials were needed to advance to the third level of Ming Jin Stage.
Logically speaking, the raw material for advancement to the third level of the Ming Jin period should also be the Qi Condensation Pill, but to be on the safe side, he decided to buy two first.
He said to Zhao Yuhe, "I want to buy two."
"You only bought two?"
Zhao Yuhe said worriedly, "We bought eight, plus your two, which only makes ten. We are still ten away from the preferential conditions. What should we do?"
Zhao Yuqing said, "Then we can only wait and see if there are any customers who want to buy Qi Condensation Pills. If not, we can only give up the discount and buy it directly."
Zhao Yuhe said, "No matter what, we should wait for others to buy together. This can save a lot of spirit stones."
Xu Lian only bought two. Even if there was a discount, it probably wouldn’t be enough to save a single spirit stone. “Wait a minute. I’ll buy it first.”
"How can you be like this? We agreed to buy together, how could you buy first?"
Zhao Yuhe glared at him with her big eyes, "Don't buy it!"
Xu Lian was a little amused. "It's my own spiritual stone. I can buy it if I want. Aren't you meddling too much?"
Zhao Yuhe looked at him pitifully, "Don't buy it! Come buy it together with us later, okay?"
"..." Xu Lian felt goosebumps all over his body. Who could stand this natural and unpretentious clip sound? "Okay, I'll wait a moment."
The two sales clerks were a bit helpless, seeing that they couldn't make a sale for a while, so they could only say sorry and go and greet other customers. After all, their wages were calculated based on commission, and they couldn't just sit and wait and waste time.
then.
Xu Lian waited with the young woman and the girl, staring in a daze as they watched the guests choosing their spiritual supplies.
"My name is Zhao Yuhe, and this is my sister Zhao Yuqing. We are from the Zhao family on First Street. Where are you from?"
Waiting was so boring that Zhao Yuhe looked at the young man in front of her curiously.
Xu Lian said casually, "Xu Lian, from Third Street."
When Zhao Yuhe heard the name of the Third Street, she knew that Xu Lian was from a small family. No wonder he only bought two Qi Condensation Pills. "I heard that people from your small family can only rent a spiritual house on the First Street to practice after one or two months. It's not easy."
"You are right."
Xu Lian chatted with her in a casual manner. She talked more, while her sister Zhao Yuqing spoke less. Her eyes were a little empty and no one knew what she was thinking.
After waiting for about half an hour, a young man in black robes came. When he saw the sisters Zhao Yuqing and Zhao Yuhe, his eyes lit up and he walked over quickly. "My two sisters from the Zhao family, what a coincidence to meet you here."
Zhao Yuhe was already exhausted from waiting, and stretched out her voice, "Master Zheng, what a coincidence, the more formal places selling elixirs in Pingyang County are only the Treasure Pavilion and Lingcui Tower. Isn't it normal to meet here?"
Zheng Ren said with a straight face, "Why call me Young Master Zheng? The Zheng and Zhao families have been neighbors for many years, and yet you are still so distant? Your sister and I watched you grow up together, so just call me Brother Zheng."
Zhao Yuqing pulled Zhao Yuhe slightly, as if she didn't want to get so close to him.
This action made Zheng Ren frown, "Yuqing, what are you doing? Do you think I'm a bad person?"
Zhao Yuqing ignored him and said, "Mr. Zheng, please do as you please."
Zhao Yuhe blinked, not knowing why her sister was like that.
Zheng Ren refused to leave and asked, "What are you doing? You are just standing here without choosing any pills."
Zhao Yuhe said, "My sister and I came here to buy Qi Condensation Pills. There is a discount if you buy 20 at a time. We are waiting for customers who want to buy Qi Condensation Pills so that we can buy together."
Zheng Ren pondered for a moment and said, "I bought a few Qi Condensation Pills a few days ago, so I don't need any for now, but I can buy some from you guys. How many do you need to make up to 20?"
"Thank you very much."
Zhao Yuhe was delighted, her big eyes shining.
"My sister and I can buy eight."
She pointed at Xu Lian and said, "Mr. Xu wants to buy two, which means there will be ten. Do you need to buy ten?"
Zheng Ren couldn't help but glance at Xu Lian, "Mr. Xu? Where do you know Mr. Xu?"
Zhao Yuhe said, "We just met here."
Zheng Ren said calmly, "Yuhe, you can buy pills with others, but don't get too close to strangers. As the saying goes, new clothes are worse than old ones, and old friends are worse than new ones. Clothes look better when they are new, but people you know are more trustworthy."
What about the most basic courtesy of a young master from a big family? Xu Lian could tell that these words were ostensibly meant for Zhao Yuhe, but were actually meant for him.
Because Zhao Yuhe wanted a discount so much, he waited here for half an hour. He didn't expect to be treated like this, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
"Even acquaintances are not necessarily reliable. As the saying goes, fellow villagers are like stabs in the back."
It’s just some rhymes, Xu Lian can do it too.
Zhao Yuqing burst out laughing and couldn't help but look at Xu Lian twice more.
Zheng Ren's face darkened. He didn't expect that this young man not only left on his own accord, but also argued with him. This made him feel a little embarrassed.
