Lin Yi frowned and asked again, "Then what is this jade?"
"As everyone knows, my art Li Family Pill Refining Art is unparalleled in the Ancient Domain. This jade contains the detailed inheritance of refining Martial Saint Pill. If you, Town Guardian Qin, have obtained enough Martial Saint Pill materials in the Black Mountain secret realm but cannot find Pill Refining Master, I think you will need this item."
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow; he did indeed need the detailed refining steps for the Martial Saint Pill.
Although he planned to draw a Pill Refining Talent for himself after obtaining enough Martial Saint Pill materials, Martial Saint Pill is notoriously difficult to refine. Having this Pill Refining Inheritance might save him a lot of detours and reduce the waste of materials.
It seems these Li Siblings had been preparing for this for some time.
" Town Guardian Qin, do you think these two items are enough?"
To everyone's surprise, Lin Yi, sitting in the second position, shook his head. "It's a bit lacking. These two items can only be exchanged for one Black Mountain Token at most."
Just exchange one Black Mountain Token?
Upon hearing this, both the Li Siblings frowned.
These two items were carefully considered and prepared as the bargaining chips.
Dongshan Li had no choice but to continue, " Town Guardian Qin, you may not know the value of these two items. Not to mention the inheritance of the Martial Saint Pill's Refining Steps, the Fire Heart Stone itself is a top-tier auxiliary artifact within Martial Saint City. Many Martial Family have offered ten thousand Source Stone for their disciples to build their foundations and temper their bodies, all in exchange for this item..."
Lin Yi interrupted, "Even if it's good for me, it's no use. Qin have no offspring and no need to forge Spiritual Treasure. As for that Martial Saint Pill Refining Inheritance, it's useless to Qin. If I could refine a Qin Martial Saint Pill after reading it once, I wouldn't be the Garrison Commander now, but Ancient Domain Pill Refining Master."
"This..."
Dongshan Li troubled, knowing that what Lin Yi said was true.
"What does Town Guardian Qin need?"
"Twenty thousand Source Stone. Take out the Source Stone and these two Black Mountain Token and take them with you."
For Lin Yi, there's never too much Source Stone; if he can get Source Stone, he'll naturally prioritize Source Stone.
"To be honest, my brother and I didn't bring much Source Stone with us on this trip. The thousand Source Stone we used to apologize for earlier were something I had to work hard to gather."
Lin Yi was too lazy to say more, "Without Source Stone, these two items can only be traded for one Black Mountain Token."
At this moment, Huo Weili looked at Lin Yi and slowly said, "I wonder what else Town Guardian Qin needs besides Source Stone? As long as it can be found, I guarantee to meet your requirements, Governor."
Hearing this, Lin Yi forgot that the Li Family was a renowned Martial Family, famous for its extravagance. It was said that the family had accumulated countless rare treasures.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Yi took out a piece of paper with a drawing of the Talent Stone on it.
"If we can find this item, we can exchange it for a Black Mountain Token."
The Li Siblings and Gu Tianxue all memorized the appearance of the Talent Stone. Huo Weili pondered for a moment and couldn't help but say, " Town Guardian Qin, if I remember correctly, this item has a chance to grant Martial Artist talent. It is a special treasure and is very rare in the Ancient Domain."
Lin Yi smiled and said, "I know it's rare, but the Black Mountain Token is no ordinary item. If you can enter the secret realm and collect enough Martial Saint Pill materials, what is a mere rare treasure? If you and your sister have this item, the second Black Mountain Token will be yours."
Dongshan Li cupped his hands and said, "To be honest, Town Guardian Qin, there is indeed such an item in the Li Family Treasury, but my brother and I cannot retrieve it for the time being."
Hearing this, Lin Yi perked up.
"Oh? I wonder how many of these things there are since Li Family?"
"I remember there were three, but that was ages ago..."
Three Talent Stone!
Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat.
If he could obtain these three Talent Stone, he could probably increase his talent abilities considerably.
We absolutely must get a handyman!
Although he was excited, Lin Yi remained calm. After thinking for a moment, he threw out two Black Mountain Token.
"In that case, I'll reserve two. You can take the items in this wooden box back with you!"
Holding the Black Mountain Token in her hand, Huo Weili couldn't help but exchange a glance with her second brother, Dongshan Li. Could it be that the rare treasure that could increase talent had some special effect? Otherwise, why would Qin Jian be willing to exchange two Black Mountain Token for it?
But these considerations are no longer important now; Black Mountain Token the siblings to take the reins.
Dongshan Li, " Town Guardian Qin, we're not really sure if this item is in our family's Treasure Vault. However, the Black Mountain Token is something my sister and I desperately need, so we'll accept it for now. As for the treasures in the wooden box, consider it a deposit. We also hope that Town Guardian Qin will take care of us in the secret realm..."
So generous?
Lin Yi immediately smiled and said, "No problem..."
Then Lin Yi waved his sleeve and put the wooden box into his spatial storage.
However, just as the Li Siblings were about to leave, Lin Yi suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "Gentlemen, why don't you leave a Handprint Contract behind..."
On the way back to the gathering place after leaving the tent, Dongshan Li asked in confusion, "Third Sister, why does this Town Guardian Qin still need to leave a contract? Is he worried that we won't keep our word?"
Huo Weili glanced at his elder brother and shook his head slightly. "He's probably afraid that if we die in the secret realm, he won't be able to find anyone to collect the debt."
Dongshan Li didn't find anything wrong with it and couldn't help but laugh, "It seems that Town Guardian Qin underestimated us siblings..."
Meanwhile, inside the tent, after the Li Siblings left, three more half-step Martial Saint came to visit.
The three of them worked together to carry a large box, which was filled with scattered Source Stone.
" Town Guardian Qin, we've gathered the ten thousand Source Stone, but what about the Black Mountain Token..."
"Take it."
Lin Yi tossed out a Black Mountain Token. The three men checked the Black Mountain Token's authenticity and then left gratefully.
After learning that the Black Mountain Token needed 10,000 Source Stone, the three of them pooled their resources and borrowed a lot from other half-step Martial Saint to finally gather the 10,000 Source Stone.
At that time, the three of them planned to send one person into the secret realm and divide the profits within the secret realm according to their contribution and investment.
It has to be said, this was a huge gamble.
If they encounter an accident in the secret realm, the three of them will likely suffer heavy losses. However, if they can gather a large amount of Martial Saint Pill Raw Material, they might be able to ascend to the heavens in one step and have a considerable probability of becoming Martial Saint experts.
Time passed, the night deepened, and Gu Tianxue had long since departed.
At this moment, Lin Yi still had one last Black Mountain Token left to distribute.
Just when he thought no one else would come today, a gust of wind suddenly blew into the tent. Lin Yi seemed to sense something and looked up sharply, only to see an old man standing in the tent.
This person is none other than the Spirit Wood Sage, one of the two Martial Saint in the canyon.
The Spirit Wood Sage looked old and frail. He bowed and said, " Town Guardian Qin, I have not invited you in. I am sorry for the lateness of the occasion."
Lin Yi put down the jade stone recording the method of refining the Martial Saint Pill, and stood up with a smile, "Senior, what are you saying? If I knew you wanted to see me, Qin would have paid you a visit in person. There was no need for you to make the trip yourself."
Spirit Wood Sage glanced around the layout of the tent and said, "It seems that many of the rumors are untrue. Town Guardian Qin is not a person who indulges in luxury and pleasure."
"Haha, I, Qin, am not bothered by those slanderous attacks. But senior, what brings you here?"
Spirit Wood Sage nodded and said, "I have come here to trade Black Mountain Token. I wonder if Town Guardian Qin has any extra Black Mountain Token?"
"What a coincidence, there's only one left. This item is hard to come by. May I ask what you would like to trade, senior..."
" Town Guardian Qin, what do you think of this item?"
Spirit Wood Sage casually flicked out an object, which Lin Yi immediately caught, and was slightly taken aback.
Talent Stone?
The thing in Lin Yi's hand is the Talent Stone!
Good heavens, he just said that the Talent Stone could be exchanged for the Black Mountain Token, but I didn't expect that the Spirit Wood Sage would find the Talent Stone so quickly.
It is unclear whether the information about the Spirit Wood Sage was given to the Li Siblings, or was told by Gu Tianxue.
"It is indeed what I need. You can have this Black Mountain Token."
Lin Yi wanted to hand the Black Mountain Token to the Spirit Wood Sage, but the old Martial Saint, who was nearing the end of his life, waved his hand and said, "I do not plan to enter the Black Mountain secret realm and do not need this item. However, I have a favor to ask of Town Guardian Qin."
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow and asked Yu, "Could it be related to Gu Tianxue?"
Spirit Wood Sage chuckled, "Does Town Guardian Qin know about my relationship with that little girl from the Gu Family? Actually, the Black Mountain secret realm is quite far-reaching. Thousands of years ago, this place was a training ground for the younger generation of the Ancient Domain. However, a large number of young people from the Ancient Domain perished in the secret realm, and it was abandoned for hundreds of years..."
"In the last two cycles of sixty years, the Black Mountain secret realm has only recently come back into the view of the many families of Martial Saint City with the opening of the Gu Family..."
Hearing this, Lin Yi frowned; this old man was quite long-winded.
However, he couldn't interrupt, so he could only listen.
At this moment, Spirit Wood Sage suddenly changed his tone. "... It is said that the Black Mountain secret realm was left behind by Gu Xianhe, the founder of the Ancient Domain. It contains inheritance and treasures. This time, the girl from the Gu Family is going to open this inheritance."
Lin Yi asked, puzzled, "Senior, since it is a legacy left by the Gu Family, there shouldn't be any problem if Gu Tianxue activates the legacy, right?"
Spirit Wood Sage Sheng recalled in a tone of voice, " Town Guardian Qin may not know about this matter. Back then, the younger generation of the Ancient Domain perished during the opening of the secret realm. There were also some overconfident Gu Family who wanted to obtain the inheritance, but they were not qualified, which led to the anomaly in the secret realm and the Black Mountain riot, resulting in heavy casualties among the younger generation of the Ancient Domain."
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow. "Senior means that I should stop Gu Tianxue."
Spirit Wood Sage looked at Lin Yi: "No, the Gu Family's inheritance is the destiny of the Gu Family. This generation may not have Gu Tianxue, but there will be others in the future. I hope that if there is any change in the secret realm, Town Guardian Qin can protect that girl."
Lin Yi replied dismissively, " Gu Tianxue is my wife, and I will do everything in my power to protect her."
At this moment, Spirit Wood Sage looked at Lin Yi and suddenly said something that made Lin Yi's heart skip a beat.
"I know that those Descendant under the influence of the World Will are bound by it. Why don't you take on the mission..."
