Brother-in-Law Wu Yan???
These two advantages make this Message Parrot a perfect replacement for expensive Communication Talisman.
However, this Message Parrot is unique to the Liu Clan Aristocratic Clan, a family of beast tamers. It is said that it was created by a genius Beast Tamer in the early years of the Liu Clan by hybridizing two different bird-like Demon Beast using a special Secret Method.
"Does the fairy have any extra Message Parrot? I'd like to buy one." Ling Pengyun naturally wanted such a communication Spirit Beast, so he inquired.
"No, if you wish to buy one, you can visit my Liu Clan's Howling Tiger Beast Shop in Huai River Market Town. We have quite a few Message Parrot there," the Liu Family Female Vendor said, shaking her head.
Upon hearing this, Ling Pengyun nodded slightly and said nothing more.
Not long after, a kind-looking man in his early twenties jogged after the Liu Family Female Vendor's Message Parrot and arrived beside Ling Pengyun and the others.
"Eighth Sister, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." The honest man said apologetically, glancing at Ling Pengyun and Ling Penglin.
"Third Brother, this is the Ling Daoyou I was talking about who buys Pine Flower Egg!" The Liu Family Female Vendor pointed at Ling Pengyun and introduced him to the honest-looking man next to her.
"Ling Daoyou, I have a lot of Pine Flower Egg here, six in total. If you are willing to buy them, I am willing to give you a discount of two Spirit Stone, selling them to you for twenty-eight Spirit Stone!" The honest man took out six Pine Flower Egg from the Beast Taming Pouch at his waist, which could store goods, and handed them to Ling Pengyun.
"Sure!" Ling Pengyun examined the six Pine Flower Egg again, finding no difference in quality, before replying. "Do either of you have any extra Beast Taming Pouch? If so, could you sell them to me to store these nine Pine Flower Egg?"
Pine Flower Egg contain life; if they are directly put into Storage Bag, Pine Flower Egg will be ruined and difficult to hatch into chickens.
Only the Beast Taming Pouch, a spatial artifact, can yield Pine Flower Egg that contain life.
"I happen to have an extra Beast Taming Pouch here, but its internal space is only half a cubic meter, and it has been used for many years. If Fellow Daoist Ling Daoyou doesn't mind, I can sell it to you for 70% of the price of a brand new Beast Taming Pouch on the market!" The honest male cultivator from the Liu Clan family took out a small yellow bag from his bosom and handed it to Ling Pengyun.
Ling Pengyun examined the yellow Beast Taming Pouch in front of him. Apart from its old appearance, the size of its interior was undamaged, making it no different from a brand new one.
"There was no damage, and the price was right, so I bought it!"
Six Pine Flower Egg cost 28 Spirit Stone, and a second-hand Beast Taming Pouch cost 35 Spirit Stone.
A half-square-sized Beast Taming Pouch costs fifty Spirit Stone on the market, which is twenty Spirit Stone more expensive than a regular First Rank Low Grade attack Law Artifact.
After paying with Spirit Stone, Ling Pengyun put the nine preserved eggs he had just purchased into his newly acquired Beast Taming Pouch, and Ling Ruxian deeper into the stall.
"Eighth Brother, why did you buy so many Pine Flower Egg? It takes at least a year to hatch Pine Flower Egg, and about three years to raise the chicken to adulthood," Ling Penglin asked curiously after walking for a while.
"I want to raise them to adulthood so your second aunt can make soup with them," Ling Pengyun said with a smile.
Ling Pengyun's father, Ling Xiaoshun, was the second in the Xiao Generation. Ling Pengyun's mother joined the Ling Clan and naturally became Ling Penglin's second aunt.
"Eighth Brother, you're so thoughtful! Why don't you spare me two? I'll raise a couple too, to make soup for my Grandma," Ling Penglin suggested, her eyes wide.
Ling Pengyun joked, "Of course! These two Pine Flower Egg are a gift for you, as an early birthday present for your eighteenth birthday!"
"Thank you, Eighth Brother!" Ling Penglin happily accepted the two Pine Flower Egg handed to her, and thanked her generous cousin with a smile.
Afterwards, while the three of them were strolling around the stall area, only Ling Penglin took a fancy to a mid-grade First Rank Middle Grade seal-shaped Law Artifact at a Rogue Cultivator's stall. After Ling Pengyun had a good time bargaining, he bought it for eighty-three Spirit Stone.
As for Ling Pengyun, although he saw some spiritual items he liked at many stalls in this market area, he did not buy them because he planned to bid on the Flying Demonic Beast egg he saw in the auction promotion picture at the auction, so as to save Spirit Stone.
As time passed, Ling Pengyun and his companion had explored most of the stall area.
Just as the two were about to head to the Lingxiao Treasure Pavilion, owned by their Lineage, to meet up with Ling Ruxian, a joyful voice came from behind Ling Pengyun.
"Peng Yun!"
Before Ling Pengyun could react, a young man in a green Daoist robe jogged up to Ling Pengyun's side.
Upon seeing the young man, Ling Pengyun's expression brightened, and a smile immediately spread across his face as he called out, "Si Tong, what brings you here?"
The boy's name is Yang Sitong. He is the son of Ling Pengyun's mother, Yang Qiuyun's, biological brother, and also Yang Siling's younger brother.
"I came with my parents and Ancestor, and my sister is here too. They're all at the Pingyun Alchemy Hall, which is run by the Pingyun Yang Family. I just came out for a stroll by myself," Yang Sitong replied with a smile, then greeted Ling Penglin, who was standing next to Ling Pengyun. "Hello, Peng Lin."
Ling Clan years ago, the Ling family was a small Qi Refining Lineage affiliated with the Peace Cloud Yang Clan. In addition, they were related by marriage, so apart from some new faces, the two families basically knew each other. Some were closer, while others were just nodding acquaintances.
"Si Tong, it's been years since we last met. You've grown more and more handsome. When you grow up, you'll surely charm many fairies." Ling Penglin glanced at Yang Sitong's appearance, her expression showing surprise. She was quite familiar with Yang Sitong, so she joked.
Yang Sitong was only fifteen years old, barely out of his teens. Hearing Ling Penglin's words, he felt a little embarrassed, his cheeks flushing slightly as he said shyly, "Cousin Peng Lin, please don't tease your little brother."
Ling Pengyun then recalled the events and spoke, "When I first arrived at the market tonight, I saw my cousin Si Ling, but she entered the market riding a roc with a Foundation Establishment senior, so we didn't have time to meet!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Sitong smiled proudly and said, "That's our brother-in-law, Wu Yan. This time, Brother-in-law Wu Yan and my sister came back from the Hundred Spirits Sect together to discuss the marriage with our parents."
Ling Pengyun had some guesses about the relationship between the handsome Foundation Establishment expert and his cousin Yang Siling, but he never expected that the two of them had reached this point.
"This is so sudden. Why have I never heard of this before?" Ling Pengyun asked in confusion.
Marriages in prominent families like these cannot be rushed; all aspects must be considered. Given the relationship between his family and Yang Siling's parents, his cousin should have heard about it. Now that a marriage has suddenly come up, he naturally feels very strange.
Yang Sitong replied with a smile, "There's no suddenness at all. My brother-in-law and sister fell in love several years ago, but because of my brother-in-law's special status, it wasn't convenient to reveal it, so it didn't get out. My aunt and uncle in Cloudwater Market Town know about it, but they haven't told you!"
The aunt and uncle he mentioned were Ling Pengyun's parents.
Ling Pengyun was even more puzzled upon hearing this. "Even if Brother-in-law Wu Yan is Foundation Establishment Cultivator, your Yang Family is not weak either. Why do you need to hide it like this?"
Yang Sitong, the Pingyun Yang Family, is an old and established Foundation Establishment clan. The clan has as many as three Foundation Establishment Cultivator and more than two hundred Qi Refining clan members. Although Wu Yan is a Foundation Establishment from another clan, he is not particularly special in the face of the powerful Yang Family.
Yang Sitong chuckled and said mysteriously, "Cousin, you'll find out when the auction takes place."
Ling Pengyun's confusion intensified. How could the auction be related to "Wu Yan"?
"This auction is hosted by the Hundred Spirits Sect, and Brother-in-law Wu Yan is also a member of the Hundred Spirits Sect. Could it be that Brother-in-law Wu Yan is a high-ranking member of the Hundred Spirits Sect?" Ling Pengyun wondered to himself.
As soon as the idea came to mind, Ling Pengyun immediately agreed.
"Only in this way can Wu Yan and my cousin hide their relationship, even from me. I suppose Wu Yan's brother-in-law is doing this because he is afraid that if the marriage with my cousin doesn't happen, my cousin's Lineage, the Yang Clan, will use Wu Yan's name to do things."
Just as Ling Pengyun was lost in thought, Ling Penglin touched her stomach and said, "Eighth Brother, Si Tong, why don't we find a place to eat? I haven't eaten for two meals, and I'm really hungry."
Qi Refining cultivators cannot Grain Avoidance; like ordinary people, they need to eat.
Upon hearing this, Yang Sitong exclaimed happily, "That's a great idea! Cousin, it's been so long since I've seen you. I got a lot of good stuff from Brother-in-law Wu Yan this time. I'll treat you to a meal at the Ten Thousand Blessings Pavilion."
After saying this, he led Ling Pengyun and Ling Penglin to the Ten Thousand Blessings Pavilion.
