Lin Qingyao laughed and pointed in a direction, saying: "You didn't cross over, walking out from here will take you into the village."
The herb collector looked at Lin Qingyao with a suspicious gaze, seemingly somewhat disbelieving. If he hadn't crossed over, how could he have seen two celestial beings?
Could it be that he has encountered an immortal fairy?
The herb-picking man cautiously asked: "Two young ladies, have I met a fairy?"
Lin Qingyao still had a good impression of this simple medicine collector and smiled as she said, "We are all ordinary people."
But it's clear that the herb collector didn't quite believe that an ordinary girl from a common family would appear in these deep mountains and ancient forests. And those two small beasts eating things, if he wasn't mistaken, weren't they wolf cubs?
What ordinary person would raise wolf cubs?
The herbalist was staring at them curiously, and Liu Ling felt a bit impatient: "Hey, have you seen enough? If you've seen enough, hurry up and leave." She still wanted to catch two rabbits and continue roasting them for food.
The herb collector hesitated for a moment, then bowed deeply to Lin Qingyao: "Thank you, fairy benefactor, for saving my life!" With that, he turned and left.
Lin Qingyao didn't know that after the medicine collector left, he told everyone he met that he had encountered a fairy, but was ridiculed by others.
After returning from Qingding Mountain, Liu Ling relied on Lin Qingyao and said that everything was in Lin Qingyao's home, occupying a position and settling down.
Lin Qingyao was also helpless, but Liu Ling had grown up a lot and rarely caused trouble for others. Lin Qingyao went along with Liu Ling, and the two of them usually cultivated separately, not interfering with each other.
Chengguan Boulevard is getting more and more desolate, fewer and fewer people come here to buy or sell things.
A woman with a small animal perched on her shoulder walked slowly into the market, causing those who were still setting up their stalls to take a few extra glances.
Nowadays, there aren't many people who raise spiritual beasts.
It's said that the cost of using Biyuandan is quite high, and it's not something that ordinary people can afford.
Even if the master of this spiritual beast does not plan to let the spiritual beast take the Biyuandan to cultivate, and only wants to raise it as a pet, that is still not something that an ordinary family's female cultivator can do.
Such a nun is often a spoiled daughter from a wealthy family.
So Lin Qingyao's appearance attracted a lot of attention, and these people all looked at Lin Qingyao with the gaze of looking at a fat sheep, thinking in their hearts whether they could sell some of the things in their hands to this female cultivator and make a small profit.
Lin Qingyao ignored the eager gazes of the vendors who wanted to stop her and directly entered the dan medicine shop where she had traded before.
The boss saw that Lin Qingyao had arrived, and the wrinkles on his face were about to be smoothed out by laughter: "Ah, it's actually a fellow Taoist who has come!"
Lin Qingyao asked with a very good mood: "I don't know if there's any progress on the things I asked fellow Taoists to help collect?"
Lin Qingyao wanted to refine the Xumai Dan as soon as possible, so that she and Liu Ling could thoroughly recover to their original state. Otherwise, it wouldn't just affect her cultivation, but also make her feel uneasy in her heart, always feeling a bit guilty towards Liu Ling.
The owner of the medicine shop smiled and said: "Collected, thirty-six kinds of deputy medicine, all collected."
He took out several jade boxes from behind the counter and placed them on the table, inside which were spiritual medicines, most of which were young shoots.
This made Lin Qingyao very satisfied, for her, the seedlings and mature spiritual herbs were the same, relatively speaking, the price of spiritual herb seedlings was definitely much cheaper, just right for a poor and white her.
"But... one of the five main medicines for refining the Pulse-Linking Elixir, Longgu Grass, I haven't been able to find." The owner of the Dan medicine shop said with his head down, looking embarrassed.
He took such a thick deposit from others, but the matter was not completely done well. He was really afraid that Lin Qingyao would be unhappy and cut off contact with him in the future. Where would he go to get so many nourishing elixirs then?
Looking at the more than ten jade boxes, Lin Qingyao nodded in satisfaction. Such a result was already beyond her expectations. It was not easy to find so many things in the spiritual energy-depleted cultivation world.
As for Longgu Cao, Lin Qingyao also knew that in the cultivation world, there had been no news of this thing for many years, and it was not surprising that the shopkeeper couldn't find it.
The shopkeeper, although a sly merchant, was still very honest. He reluctantly took out a bottle containing the Qi-replenishing pellets and placed it on the counter, saying: "Dragon Bone Grass is the most important spiritual medicine for refining the Pulse-Extending Pellets. Without this spiritual medicine, I really don't dare accept so many Qi-replenishing pellets from you, friend. There are five Qi-replenishing pellets inside, consider them as my refund to you."
Lin Qingyao nodded her head in approval of the shopkeeper's actions, but instead of reaching for the bottle of Dan medicine, she took out another jade bottle containing ten Nourishing Qi Pills and placed it on the table.
The shopkeeper saw Lin Qingyao's action, his eyes lit up, and he reacted quickly: "Fellow Taoist, do you have anything else to instruct? Please go ahead and instruct."
The shopkeeper had long since seen that Lin Qingyao was a wealthy and generous person, and for him to do business with Linqing, there would definitely be benefits. He had already tasted the sweetness once before, so this time he was even more eager.
"Zijin beast soul grass, Xuanzhu grass, Pudi rock sprout..."
The shopkeeper listened, and asked suspiciously: "What is this...?" These few kinds of spiritual medicine are all very rare, now very few people will look for such spiritual medicine. He can't quite remember what these spiritual medicines do, but in his mind, there is still a bit of an impression that they seem to be used for demonic beasts.
Lin Qingyao said in a clear voice: "Still want sprouts and seeds, I don't want the fact that I bought spiritual medicine here today to spread out."
The shopkeeper wouldn't spread it out, now Lin Qingyao is simply his god of wealth, he wants to hold on to Lin Qingyao's thigh and can't come quickly, where is he stupid enough to tell others about his own god of wealth? Then let others scramble for his god of wealth?
He hastily nodded and said: "Of course not!"
Lin Qingyao nodded in satisfaction, and she wasn't worried that the shopkeeper would say anything, this shopkeeper was very astute.
However, one can't be too careful, Lin Qingyao may have temporarily let her guard down, but she definitely wouldn't reveal her true self.
If possible, Lin Qingyao also wanted to force this shopkeeper to make a heart demon oath, to keep her secret.
At this thought, Lin Qingyao's eyes gleamed sharply as she stared at the shopkeeper: "If today's events leak out even half a day earlier, I will not forgive you lightly!"
The shopkeeper was startled by Lin Qingyao's gaze and did not expect that this female cultivator would have such a strong aura and pressure.
A clever person behind the counter quickly figured it out and realized that Lin Qingyao didn't completely trust him, so he made a silent vow to himself: "I will never reveal Lin's affairs to anyone!"
Lin Qingyao looked at the shopkeeper's swift and decisive movements, stunned for a moment. She hadn't even expressed her own thoughts yet, but the shopkeeper had already voluntarily made an oath to dispel evil spirits, which truly shocked her.
The devil's oath is not something to be taken lightly, once spoken it must be kept.
The shopkeeper felt Lin Qingyao's shock and smiled, saying: "I still understand the rules. In the future, if fellow Taoists have anything inconvenient to do, they can all be entrusted to me..."
The shopkeeper has done so much and said so much, but this last sentence is the key point.
In short, it means letting Lin Qingyao trust him absolutely, and for such things, look for him often...
As for the Heart Demon's oath? Even without this oath, he wouldn't be foolish enough to go out and shout that he had earned a large amount of spirit stones from Lin Qingyao.
Anyway, Lin Qingyao's goal was achieved, and with a relatively low price, she sold the things obtained from Hong Ban Du to the shopkeeper.
The owner of the Lingyao shop, of course, did not accept these demon beast materials, but Lin Qingyao's price was very reasonable, and on top of the normal price, he lowered it a bit, allowing him to also gain some profit from it. As long as it was a profitable deal, whether or not it involved Lingyao, he wouldn't refuse.
Lin Qingyao also deeply knew that if she wanted the horse to run fast, she had to feed it well. For this small favor of the spiritual medicine shop, if she could exchange it for someone who handled things efficiently and got things done for her, then it was a bargain.
Lin Qingyao left Fang City with Longgucao on her mind.
The originally uninhabited Liu Hutong, since being bought by Lin Qingyao, has had many people move in. Now with the lively and dynamic Liu Ling, the whole place is even more bustling.
There is no longer the desolation and gloom of the past, but instead it makes people feel that other places in Lingqi City are much more prosperous, directly becoming a blessed land.
Liu Ling was in the courtyard, where she had set up a swing frame. At this moment, she was sitting on the swing made of rattan, lost in thought.
Jin Qingyao came back, jumped down nimbly, looking very excited: "Qingyao, this afternoon, take me to stroll around the street, I've been in Chuan City for a long time and haven't had a good stroll."
Lin Qingyao smiled and nodded, then asked another question: "Sister, besides the town market, do you know where else to find spiritual medicine?"
Lin Qingyao wandered around the market, finding that high-level cultivators rarely appeared in the market. Truly precious elixirs like Dragon Bone Grass would definitely not appear on the market.
Lin Qingyao thought, there must be a higher-level trading venue than this one that is mixed with various low-ranking cultivators.
"Of course it's on the black market."
Lin Qingyao heard this name for the first time and curiously asked: "What is a black market?"
Liu Ling casually replied: "It's just a black market for underground transactions."
"Oh? I'm sure you can buy a lot of rare things there?" Lin Qingyao's tone was full of excitement.
