Upon this thought, Liu Jiguang smiled wryly:
"Taoist Friend Lin, please don’t hide from any longer... Be honest, are you purchasing these materials for the Sect?"
Clearly, Liu Jiguang had his own logical deductions.
Lin Chen listened and then looked at Liu Jiguang aningfully.
Lowering his voice, he said:
"Brother Liu knows well, just rember not to spread it..."
"In the coming days, Brother should still be careful about his own safety... Even the Foundation Establishnt Cultivators may not guarantee complete security!"
Lin Chen’s words were vague, but Liu Jiguang felt a chill in his heart after hearing them.
He cupped his hands and said:
"Thank you, Taoist Friend Lin, for the reminder... For this Thousand-Year Iron Essence, I will only charge you nine thousand five... no, only nine thousand Spirit Stones!"
Clearly, Liu Jiguang thought Lin Chen was sent by the Sect, thus he left a gesture of goodwill.
Lin Chen naturally agreed upon hearing this and took back another thousand Spirit Stones from his Spirit Stone Bag.
"In that case, thank you, Brother!"
After the transaction, Lin Chen strolled around the marketplace a couple more tis.
Taking advantage of the current period when various materials were not yet scarce, Lin Chen made another substantial purchase.
It wasn’t until dusk that Lin Chen returned to the shop.
"In the coming days, the marketplace prices are likely to fluctuate enormously..."
"Even though I’ve procured quite a batch of ores this ti, it’s still not enough."
Lin Chen pondered the capital he held in his hands.
Approximately thirty thousand Spirit Stones remain.
With ten thousand Spirit Stones set aside for daily cultivation being sufficient, Lin Chen planned to use the rest for buying herbs, ores, and various materials.
"Purchases at Changchun Mountain Marketplace are almost complete... I must make another trip to Guangyuan Town!"
"Yesterday Ye Langzi just died, the Tribulation Cultivators can’t react in ti, now is a mont of safety..."
With this thought, Lin Chen hesitated no longer.
As the saying goes, the more skilled, the more courageous, utilizing the nightfall, he controlled his artifact and hurried to Guangyuan Town.
Early the next morning, leveraging Five Thunders Master’s identity, Lin Chen swiftly procured nearly twenty thousand Spirit Stones’ worth of various materials.
He almost visited all the major shops in the Guangyuan Town Marketplace.
Before leaving, he left dozens of Magical Artifacts to ensure enough for the auction needs in the coming two months.
...
The next two days, Lin Chen stayed in the marketplace, calmly cultivating.
Having spent most of his Spirit Stones, he was temporarily free from worrying about materials.
Besides cultivation, Lin Chen occasionally wandered around the marketplace.
"Boss, how much is this Blood Coagulation Pill?"
Lin Chen stood in front of a market stall and casually asked.
The pill-selling stall owner was an old man with a face full of wrinkles, looking quite aged.
He glanced at Lin Chen and said, "Ten Spirit Stones per bottle."
"Ten Spirit Stones? That’s robbery!"
Lin Chen was taken aback.
Blood Coagulation Pills, ordinarily priced at only five Spirit Stones per bottle, had doubled in price!
The unscrupulous owner just cast a cold glance at Lin Chen and said:
"That’s the rate, take it or leave it!"
"Don’t bla for not telling you, today it’s ten Spirit Stones... In a few days, it might be twelve, or even fifteen Spirit Stones!"
"In current tis, Blood Coagulation Pills are useful lifesavers!"
Lin Chen listened and his brows knit into a character-shape.
He had expected the price of Blood Coagulation Pills to soar, but never imagined it would rise so quickly.
Looking again at the owner, who was rely a Loose Cultivator at the Third Layer of Qi Refining, how could he learn the news so swiftly?
Thus, Lin Chen tentatively asked:
"Boss, did you get so news?"
The owner didn’t even lift his head and directly said:
"You don’t know this? Heard of Boss Liu in the marketplace? He’s an expert at the Foundation Establishnt Stage!"
"Yesterday, he personally said..."
After hearing this, Lin Chen’s face turned black.
"Damn, that Liu’s really a big mouth!" Lin Chen cursed silently, labeling Liu Jiguang as unreliable.
Just as he was about to inquire about Taoist Friend Liu’s situation,
suddenly an evocative tolling of bells resounded from Sword Peak of Changchun Mountain...
"Dong!"
"Dong dong!"
"Three bell rings, the entire Changchun Sect enters warti alert!" Lin Chen’s face grew serious.
