Chapter 352: Chapter 53 Successfully Sold ‘Yan Shuishui
Actually, it wasn’t difficult to speak of.
It was about utilizing the fact that the middle-aged cultivator knew little about Lin Jing, to catch him off guard, thus allowing Lin Jing to kill the Golden Core third-layer middle-aged cultivator before he could react.
After all, Lin Jing was a Body Refinement Cultivator, and at the same time, his Divine Sense was especially powerful.
Beyond that, the Immortal Five Elements Technique he cultivated, combined with the Five Elements Divine Art, maximized the power of the Five Elements Divine Art.
These were things he could never have anticipated.
For regular cultivators, having even one of these three qualities reach the level of Lin Jing was already very impressive.
However, Lin Jing, having been tempered in the Trial Grounds of Immortal Crossing Island, possessed incredible strength in both Divine Sense and physique.
Furthermore, the continuous cultivation of the Five Elements Divine Art made him unstoppable.
And Lin Jing had initiated the sneak attack.
The middle-aged cultivator was only informed by the Senior Qi Gui about his powerful Divine Sense attacks; he was not informed about the rest.
Thus, the middle-aged cultivator was caught unprepared and was swiftly killed by Lin Jing.
This was also why, in his final moments, the middle-aged cultivator looked resentfully at Senior Qi Gui.
Actually, even without the sneak attack, with Lin Jing’s current combat strength, he wouldn’t fear facing a cultivator at the mid Golden Core stage.
When Yan Wanfei heard everything, he couldn’t help but sigh.
Subsequently,
Yan Wanfei, once again intrigued, suggested sparring with Lin Jing.
It was like when the two first met, sparring only in terms of physical cultivation, without using any spells.
Yan Wanfei hadn’t forgotten about that to this day.
However, their sparring was interrupted before it even began.
Because Lu Youjiu and the others arrived…
When Lu Youjiu and Holaw Three Rivers arrived on the Flying Boat,
they just happened to see Yan Wanfei getting into position, ready to spar with Lin Jing.
Lu Youjiu’s expression immediately darkened.
“Niu San, I see you’re itching for a fight again, aren’t you.”
“At such a critical moment of the mission, you still don’t know to stay quiet for a while.”
“Fine…”
“After this mission, I’ll have a proper spar with you…”
As he spoke, Lu Youjiu’s gaze towards Yan Wanfei was like looking at a big punching bag to vent his frustrations.
Yan Wanfei shivered involuntarily:
“Brother Jiu, don’t…”
“I know I was wrong…”
Although Lu Youjiu said this, he didn’t go find trouble with Yan Wanfei right then.
Later, Holaw Three Rivers gathered everyone together, and then said:
“Next, the mission will truly begin.”
“Niu San, it’s up to you now.”
After speaking, Holaw Three Rivers handed Yan Wanfei a Jade Pendant, then instructed him:
“This Jade Pendant is actually a decoy, you just need to channel Spiritual Power into it, and it will immediately turn into a Formation Pattern.”
“When they take you through, you’ll pass a square in the center of Li Yan Island, and the Formation Eye is underground there.”
“By then, as you pass through the square, just channel your Spiritual Power into this Jade Pendant, and that’s sufficient.”
“As long as the Formation Pattern inside the Jade Pendant invades the Formation Eye of the Fifth-Rank Trap-Killing Formation, the Trap-Killing Formation will become completely ineffective.”
After Holaw Three Rivers finished speaking, Yan Wanfei picked up the Jade Pendant in his hand, flipping it over several times without discerning any clues.
“Is it really that simple?”
Holaw Three Rivers nodded and said:
“Yes, it’s that simple.”
When Holaw Three Rivers finished introducing everything to Yan Wanfei, he directly extended his Divine Sense into Lin Jing’s sea of consciousness, transmitting a few images.
Within these images were the appearances of two cultivators.
“These two, they are under Dai Mao; just remember them, as they will be the ones to deal with you.”
“If they haggle over the price, you see how it goes; just manage to sell Niu San to them, that’s all.”
Regarding the rest, there’s nothing much.
After you sell Niu San to them, directly return here, and then together, we will head to Li Yan Island.
Lin Jing then nodded in response.
……
Once everything was arranged, Lin Jing, now again transformed into a small girl of the Fox Clan, flew towards Black Xing Island with Yan Wanfei.
Meanwhile, Lu Youjiu and Yan Wanfei waited on the small island for Lin Jing’s arrival.
Upon entering Black Xing Island again, Lin Jing returned to his original stall, as if he had never left.
And Lin Jing, just like before, sat expressionless behind the stall.
……
And so, two more days passed.
During these two days, Lin Jing drove away many people with his high prices.
It wasn’t until the third day that people from under Dai Mao came here.
The two, one tall and one short, both had Golden Core early stage cultivation.
They approached Lin Jing and directly asked:
“How much for this Fox Clan girl?”
Lin Jing, without lifting his head, directly responded, “One hundred thousand Medium Grade Spirit Stones.”
This price was already half less than what Lin Jing had originally quoted.
However, upon hearing this quote, the two frowned and said:
“That’s too expensive!”
Only then did Lin Jing look up at them and said:
“Fox Clan girls are rare and hard to catch, and one must also guard against the Fox Clan’s retaliation.”
“This price is not expensive!”
After hearing Lin Jing’s words, the two looked at each other, then said:
“Twenty thousand Medium Grade Spirit Stones, will you sell?”
Lin Jing looked at them, his eyes suddenly sharp, and then coldly said:
“No deal…”
Twenty thousand Spirit Stones, to be honest, this price really is a bit of a rip-off.
Although Lin Jing was planning to sell ‘Yan Shuishui’ to them, it wasn’t as if he was going to sell her at a bargain-basement price.
At the very least, he wanted to follow the market rate, even if it was slightly lower.
By pressing him with such direct pricing, Lin Jing even suspected it was a test against him.
Because previously, Lin Jing had always sold for two hundred thousand Medium Grade Spirit Stones.
It was only these past couple of days that he had sold for one hundred thousand Spirit Stones.
This definitely must have been informed by that person from Li Yan Island, who mentioned Lin Jing’s price drop to them.
That’s why they dared to quote a price of twenty thousand Medium Grade Spirit Stones.
Confronted with their offer, Lin Jing did not hesitate and simply showed them out.
Upon hearing Lin Jing’s words, the two men furrowed their brows tightly, paused for a moment, and then said,
“Thirty thousand, Medium Grade Spirit Stones.”
Lin Jing’s brow also furrowed as he spoke,
“Before coming here, I had already inquired. The last time a Fox Clan girl appeared, she was sold for eighty thousand Medium Grade Spirit Stones. If you two truly want her, show some sincerity.”
“Otherwise, don’t bother me while I’m conducting business here.”
Upon hearing Lin Jing’s words, the tall cultivator suddenly narrowed his eyes and smiled, saying,
“Fellow Daoist, what are you saying? We sincerely wish to make a deal with you.”
“But could we perhaps first inspect the Fox Clan girl?”
At his words, Lin Jing’s brow furrowed tightly, but he said nothing.
He quickly contacted Yan Wanfei using Divine Sense Voice Transmission,
“They want to inspect her, is that alright?”
“No problem. Our Green Illusion Demon Ox’s transformation technique is flawless. Don’t worry,” Yan Wanfei hastily replied.
“Good…”
Lin Jing then cut off the Divine Sense Voice Transmission.
Afterward, Lin Jing took the pitiful ‘Yan Shuishui’ out from the cage in front of his stall.
And then placed her on a stall in front of the two men.
“Look, this Fox Clan girl was not easy to come by, there are definitely no issues.”
The two men then began to scrutinize ‘Yan Shuishui’.
Just then, the tall cultivator reached out his hand, intending to touch ‘Yan Shuishui’.
However, his move was immediately stopped by Lin Jing.
“Fellow Daoist, have you forgotten the rules of the market?”
This marketplace indeed has this rule, you can look, Divine Sense inspection is also fine, but touching is not allowed.
The reason for this was out of fear that someone might cause damage.
After all, these were living beings.
A little carelessness could result in someone tampering.
“Sorry, I got carried away…” the tall cultivator quickly said.
Afterward.
After looking for a while, the two men said they needed to think it over and then left.
Just after the two men had left, Yan Wanfei suddenly transmitted a message to Lin Jing,
“Brother Lin, they did something to me just now.”
Lin Jing was taken aback and quickly asked, “What did they do?”
“There’s a breath inside my body, very faint and hard to detect.”
Lin Jing then extended his hand, placed it on Yan Wanfei’s body, and probed with his Spiritual Power.
As the Spiritual Power traveled through Yan Wanfei’s body, it quickly scanned him completely,
but after a full circuit, he found nothing.
That breath was indeed eerie.
Lin Jing then used his Divine Sense to probe into Yan Wanfei’s body, and under Yan Wanfei’s guidance, finally detected a deeply hidden small breath.
“This breath shouldn’t be a big issue.”
“If you truly were the Fox Clan girl Yan Shuishui, this breath might make you severely ill.”
After a thorough investigation, Lin Jing finally figured out the purpose of that breath.
“So next, should we play along with their plan?” Yan Wanfei transmitted to Lin Jing.
Lin Jing said, “Of course…”
“They just want to find a reason to spend fewer Spirit Stones. We naturally have to fulfill their wishes.”
……
The next day.
Lin Jing, unlike usual, had a tight frown that didn’t ease, and the ‘Yan Shuishui’ in the cage also appeared listless and languid.
Just then, the same two cultivators, one tall and one short, walked over again.
As soon as the two arrived, they spoke up,
“Fellow Daoist, we thought it over yesterday and still feel that this Fox Clan girl is too expensive. Could you consider lowering the price…”
Just then, the tall cultivator suddenly paused,
“Eh…”
“Fellow Daoist, this Fox Clan girl seems a bit off…”
“This…”
Before the tall cultivator could finish, Lin Jing immediately interrupted,
“You want this Fox Clan girl, right? Take out sixty thousand Medium Grade Spirit Stones, and you can take her away immediately.”
“I see your Fox Clan girl is listless; there wouldn’t be any problems, right?” the short cultivator asked at this moment.
But Lin Jing immediately replied,
“No, you’re overthinking it…”
At this, the tall cultivator helped Lin Jing to explain,
“This Fox Clan girl looks so listless; she must be physically weak. If we take her, we will also need to spend effort treating her.”
“How about this, fifty thousand Spirit Stones, and we’ll take her. Otherwise, you might as well find someone else.”
After hearing this, Lin Jing frowned and was silent for a moment before he said,
“Fine…”
“Fifty thousand Spirit Stones, deal.”
