He Knows How to Draw a Big Pie

Back at the Lin residence, Lin Qing, her face glowing, was in such a good mood she was practically in heaven.

Those who cultivate immortality value diligent practice above all else.

Farting is all about timing, damn it.

What is a stroke of luck? When a Nascent Soul cultivator suddenly takes a liking to you, that's a stroke of luck.

As for whether the other party had any ulterior motives towards her, Lin Qing hadn't even considered that question.

In the eyes of the Nascent Soul stage monster, Black Cloud City was nothing, let alone himself.

"Never such a wonderful start!"

As she walked, Lin Qing couldn't help but raise her hands and shout.

Just then, Lin Shicong, the head of the Lin Family, walked over and heard his son say that. He looked at him strangely.

"What's wrong with you, kid?"

Lin Qing instinctively wanted to share the good news with her father.

I just remembered the instructions my future master gave me before he left.

He made up his mind that he would rather die than reveal this secret, and then smiled.

"Uncle Qin just told me that he'll let Weiwei and me get married once I reach the Foundation Establishment stage."

"Really? Then I'll be waiting to hold my grandson."

Lin Shicong's face also showed a smile.

After the two families are united by marriage, there's no need to worry about the Ning Family being aggressive.

"Then I'll go into seclusion for a week and intensify my cultivation."

After saying goodbye to her father, Lin Qing hurriedly returned to her room to refine the flying sword magic weapon bestowed upon her by Tang Yu.

After taking out this flying sword magic weapon, Lin Qing began to focus on refining it.

While Lin Qing was focused on refining the magical artifact.

Lin Xuan, who had been unconscious in the room, has now regained consciousness.

During his recent unconsciousness, his soul was absorbed into the jade bead, where he saw the remnant soul residing within it.

After being enlightened by that senior remnant soul...

Lin Xuan then realized that something was wrong with his body.

Fortunately, the senior left him a pill formula, which he could use to refine pills.

"Alchemy? But the materials are too expensive: Cold Smoke Grass, Poria Fruit..."

After reading out the eight medicinal ingredients on the prescription, Lin Xuan felt his head was spinning.

It would take at least twenty mid-grade spirit stones to get all these materials.

He currently only has three mid-grade spirit stones in his possession, which he painstakingly saved up.

As for borrowing spirit stones or something.

It's unlikely that anyone in the entire Lin Family would pay him any attention.

"Forget it, I'll try my luck."

After muttering something to himself, Lin Xuan washed his face and left the Lin Family, heading straight for the Black Cloud City Ghost Market.

Black Cloud City is most famous for its Ghost Market, Black Cloud City Ghost Market is said to sell almost anything.

Someone once found a bargain here, spending ten low-grade spirit stones to buy a broken magic weapon.

After a thorough restoration, it was discovered to be an ancient spiritual treasure, which was acquired by the Treasure Pavilion for eight thousand high-grade spirit stones.

Some people spend hundreds of high-grade spirit stones only to buy a fake item, losing all their money.

Lin Xuan had just left the Lin residence when Tang Yu stealthily followed him.

This guy headed straight for the black market.

Having already known the plot, Tang Yu chuckled, looked around, and then grabbed the arm of a male cultivator in the Qi Refining stage.

What are you doing?

The male cultivator in the Qi Refining stage surprisingly sported a very trendy middle-part hairstyle.

After Tang Yu grabbed his arm, he looked displeased.

"Come with me, I need your help with something."

Tang Yu placed a mid-grade spirit stone into the other person's hand.

Upon seeing the mid-grade spirit stone, the dissatisfaction on the male cultivator's face quickly turned into a sincere smile, and he hurriedly followed Tang Yu to the side.

"What are your orders, senior? I am Xu Kun, and I am willing to go through fire and water for you."

"It's a small thing. See that arrogant guy? He's going to the ghost market to buy something later. Just follow him."

"Buy whatever he buys, but don't buy anything that costs more than five mid-grade spirit stones, understand?"

After Tang Yu finished speaking, he took out five high-grade spirit stones and handed them to the young man.

One of the classic storylines in fantasy cultivation is that the protagonist always manages to find a bargain when he goes shopping!

Even the most valuable treasures are unrecognizable to everyone else, but he spotted them at a glance, or even just based on intuition.

According to the original plot.

Lin Xuan bought a very valuable treasure here for two mid-grade spirit stones.

Then exchange the money for materials to refine pills, then break through in one fell swoop, and then compete to slap Lin Qing in the face.

Fortunately, if money can solve a problem, then it's not really a problem.

Holding five high-grade spirit stones, Xu Kun's hands trembled slightly; he had never seen so much money in his life.

To be able to produce so many spirit stones, one must at least be a Golden Core stage cultivator!

After carefully storing it in his storage ring, Xu Kun quickly put on a smile and said, "Don't worry, senior, I guarantee I'll complete the mission."

"Work hard, and if you do well, I'll take you as my apprentice."

Tang Yu patted Xu Kun on the shoulder and began to make grand promises.

I was shocked to hear that such a good thing could happen.

Xu Kun was so excited he almost cried out, and quickly ran to follow Lin Xuan on the mission.

At this moment, Lin Xuan was already wandering around the ghost market.

"Take a look! This is a treasure we just took out of the secret realm."

"Look at this pill! It's an ancient pill! You can take it away for just one mid-grade spirit stone."

"My treasure-hunting weasel only gives birth once every hundred years, so don't miss it if you pass by."

The vendors in the ghost market kept hawking their wares, and cultivators came in droves to buy things.

After walking for a while, Lin Xuan's gaze fell on a bronze cauldron the size of a palm.

"Brother, you have a good eye. This is the prized possession of my shop, passed down to me by my grandfather, he..."

Upon seeing the customers arrive, the vendor was about to rush over and shower them with compliments.

Lin Xuan waved his hand and said, "Just tell me how much."

"Not much, just two high-grade spirit stones will suffice."

The vendor rubbed his hands together and quoted a price.

Lin Xuan walked away with a dark expression; even if he were killed, he couldn't afford this thing.

After looking around for a while, his gaze fell on a jade tube.

The woman running the stall was a voluptuous and alluring young woman.

She sat on a small stool and greeted the guests.

The passing monks looked down at them from their elevated position.

A glimpse of snow-white skin could be seen just through the neckline of her clothes.

Lin Xuan couldn't help but take a second look before squatting down and asking, "How much is this jade tube?"

"Oh, little brother wants this jade slip? You have good taste. It came from a secret realm. Once you can break the seal on it, it might be a good thing. I'll sell it to you for fifty mid-grade spirit stones."

The young woman said with a smile.

Most jade tubes produced in these secret realms come with some kind of natural restriction.

These restrictions are extremely difficult to lift, and even after they are lifted, the jade tube may not contain anything of value, making it somewhat like opening a blind box.

"That might fool others, but I'm Lin Family, and I know this Ghost Market very well. Would you sell me a mid-grade spirit stone?"

After Lin Xuan finished speaking, he took out a mid-grade spirit stone from his storage ring.

"Oh, a Lin Family, right? No wonder you look familiar. Alright, I'll sell you out as a way of making friends."

The young woman was about to agree.

Xu Kun, who was following Lin Xuan, had already caught up and called out.

"Wait, I'll take this jade slip. I'll offer two mid-grade spirit stones."

Upon hearing that someone had offered a higher price, the young woman, who was about to agree, immediately smiled and said...

"In business, the highest bidder wins. Lin Family, would you like to continue bidding?"

Lin Xuan's expression was slightly gloomy.

His intuition told him that there would be something good inside this jade tube.

Now that such a formidable obstacle had suddenly appeared, he could only grit his teeth and say, "I'll offer three mid-grade spirit stones."

"Then I'll play four."

Xu Kun quickly offered a price.

The senior gave him a full five high-grade spirit stones, so he didn't need to worry about money at all.

Hearing Xu Kun raise the price again, Lin Xuan, unwilling to give up, could only sigh and turn away, cursing Xu Kun's maternal ancestors in her heart.

After paying, Xu Kun quickly packed up his things and then followed Lin Xuan eagerly.

After Lin Xuan went to the next stall and spotted another magical artifact, he was about to take out two mid-grade spirit stones to pay for it.

Xu Kun made another move, paying more to buy the magical artifact that Lin Xuan had his eye on.

At this moment, Lin Xuan also realized that something was wrong.

He stared at Xu Kun with a dark expression and said, "Friend, are you deliberately trying to make things difficult for me?"

"Are you crazy? How is buying something a problem for you? Do you own this black market? Or do you think your brother Kun is easy to bully?"

Xu Kun's attitude was also very firm; he was doing things for the big boss.

Feeling utterly disgusted, Lin Xuan couldn't afford to argue and could only leave in a huff.

Xu Kun followed closely behind Lin Xuan.

He fled, he was pursued, but he couldn't escape.

Realizing that Xu Kun was there to annoy him, Lin Xuan deliberately bought random things.

He first selected a pill worth ten mid-grade spirit stones.

This time, Xu Kun didn't bid.

He couldn't produce that many mid-grade spirit stones, and the stall owner immediately insulted his deceased mother.

The stalemate lasted for about three hours.

Xu Kun followed Lin Xuan and bought more than seventy kinds of treasures.

Lin Xuan, who was so disgusted he almost vomited, saw that this guy had money that seemed inexhaustible.

In the end, he had no choice but to give up and leave the black market.

Xu Kun originally wanted to continue following, but Tang Yu called him away telepathically.

Upon seeing Tang Yu, Xu Kun quickly handed Tang Yu a storage ring.

"Senior, the remaining spirit stones and the purchased items are all here. Is there anything else you need to instruct us on?"

"That's all. You did a good job today. You can go now. I'll contact you again if I need anything."

Tang Yu waved his hand, signaling Xu Kun to leave.

After successfully interfering with Lin Xuan's attempt to take advantage of the situation.

This guy's initial funding has been delayed!

The first step of the interference plan went smoothly, much to Tang Yu's satisfaction.

As soon as Xu Kun left, Tang Yu took the storage ring and headed straight for the Treasure Pavilion branch in Black Cloud City.

In every city in the southern part of the Nine Heavens Continent, the Treasure Pavilion will establish a branch.

As soon as Tang Yu entered, a waiter immediately greeted him warmly and asked him questions.

"What does the immortal master wish to buy?"

Tang Yu took out a token from his storage ring and waved it. It was a token Amber had given him, so that Tang Yu could see her at any time.

After recognizing the token, the waiter quickly led Tang Yu to the top floor to sit and rest.

Not long after, a Golden Core cultivator rushed over and bowed to Tang Yu.

"Welcome, Elder. May I ask what your instructions are?"

"Help me estimate how much these things are worth."

Tang Yu tossed the storage ring she had just acquired to the branch pavilion master.

The old cultivator caught the storage ring and poured out all the treasures to examine them one by one.

After spending half an hour reading it, he took out a golden abacus, quickly fiddled with it a few times, and then laughed.

"Elder, these are worth a total of thirty-six high-grade spirit stones. Should we put them in the shop to sell?"

"Sell it."

Tang Yu didn't care about the spirit stones.

His business is growing bigger and bigger, and he receives hundreds of high-grade spirit stones in dividends every day.

However, Lin Xuan's terrifying protagonist luck left Tang Yu somewhat at a loss.

It's true that you can find bargains anywhere and make money no matter what you do.
