Chapter 138 Meeting with the Elders

Lin Mu came to the market and his figure suddenly fell.

Outside the market, Lin Mu stretched out his hand and his face changed suddenly, completely different from before.

He was dressed in green and had a clear and elegant appearance, a handsome man.

Lin Mu walked towards the market with a faint smile on his face.

Passing by the Qianfu Shop of Lingfu Sect, Lin Mu looked inside and saw a disciple in the foundation building period running the shop.

Qianfuzi was not there!

Lin Mu smiled. Qianfuzi was probably overwhelmed at the moment, dealing with many miscellaneous items in the sect.

Lin Mu suddenly remembered that he had used up a lot of his cinnabar and purple sand. If he practiced in the future, he would have to continue making talismans. As for talismans, Lin Mu had talisman molds and talisman pens, and he could also make talisman paper by himself. The only thing he lacked was cinnabar and purple sand.

The foundation-building disciples in this store were only slightly better than Lin Mu. Not to mention that they had never learned the "Sky Eye Technique", even if they had, with Lin Mu's current attainments in the "Bone Shrinking Technique", they might not be able to see Lin Mu's true face. After a moment's hesitation, Lin Mu walked towards the Qianfu Store.

Before Lin Mu entered the store, the disciple in white hurried out and greeted him enthusiastically: "What do you need? Our store sells all kinds of low-level talismans, such as "Fire Bomb Talisman", "Ice Bomb Talisman", "Earth Escape Talisman", and everything else."

Lin Mu smiled faintly: "I want to buy a "Heavenly Thunder Talisman"!"

The disciple in white was shocked and almost fell to the ground. He said with an awkward smile: "Are you kidding? Generally, high-level talismans require three to five hundred low-grade spirit stones. The "Heavenly Thunder Talisman" is considered the best among high-level talismans, and its value is several times that of ordinary high-level talismans. Moreover, high-level talismans are complicated to make. Even for a cultivator in the Spiritual Silence Stage, it takes a year to make one. This small store does not sell high-level talismans to the public. Due to some reasons that are inconvenient to disclose, even mid-level talismans have been stopped recently."

Some reasons that are inconvenient to disclose?

Lin Mu was puzzled for a while, and then he understood, still smiling.

The Ling Fu Sect was going to fight the Blue Sea Sword Sect, so naturally they took all the mid-level talismans for backup.

Lin Mu smiled and said, "In that case, I won't buy talismans. Just give me some cinnabar and purple sand."

The white-clothed disciple breathed a sigh of relief. This man was easy to talk to, unlike the previous few people who were extremely difficult to deal with. He smiled and asked, "How many bottles do you need?"

Lin Mu asked back, "What are the prices of cinnabar and purple sand here?"

The white-clothed disciple was delighted and thought to himself, it turns out that he is an outsider. I will make a lot of money from him. He was happy in his heart, but his face remained calm. He patiently introduced, "Cinnabar is 30 low-grade spiritual stones per bottle, and purple sand is 500 low-grade spiritual stones per bottle."

Cinnabar is 30? Purple sand is 500? So expensive?

Lin Mu was confused. In his impression, although he had never asked about the specific prices of these two items, he still had a better understanding of the general situation.

This person must think that he is an outsider and easy to cheat.

Lin Mu cursed in his heart, Qian Fuzi is not a good person, and the disciples he taught are also very cunning.

Although he was complaining in his heart, Lin Mu smiled and said, "You must be joking. Although I came from afar, I still know a little about the price of cinnabar and purple sand. In the territory of Qianyu Sword Sect, a bottle of cinnabar is only 15 spirit stones, and a bottle of purple sand is only 250. I thought that I came to the territory of Lingfu Sect, where talisman making is popular, and the price of cinnabar and purple sand would be much cheaper. But you raised the price by double. You want to rip me off, right?" Lin Mu's smile immediately changed from a smile to a sneer.

The white-clothed disciple was shocked. Lin Mu's aura frightened him. He was not like an ordinary foundation-building cultivator at all. He realized that he was reckless just now, and hurriedly said, "I just took over the Qianfu store. Maybe I remembered the price wrong. Wait a moment, let me check the price list again." After that, he walked into the store with cold sweat on his back.

After a moment, he came back with a bright smile on his face: "I'm really sorry, I remembered the price wrong, please forgive me. Cinnabar is 15, purple sand is 250, how many bottles do you need?"

Lin Mu thought to himself, if I wasn't alert, I would have been ripped off by you, but he smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if I remembered it wrong, just pay attention next time. In this case, then give me 20 bottles of cinnabar and 20 bottles of purple sand."

The white-clothed disciple smiled and said: "Okay, wait a moment." He turned around and took out 20 bottles of cinnabar and 20 bottles of purple sand from the shelf behind him, packed them in a cloth bag, handed them to Lin Mu, and smiled: "A total of 5,300 low-grade spirit stones."

5,300!

Cinnabar and purple sand alone cost so much, Lin Mu really couldn't imagine how ordinary talisman makers could accumulate such a number of spirit stones. You know, the price of talisman paper is much higher than cinnabar, and it is almost the same as purple sand. A dozen of seven-star paper with 100 sheets costs at least more than 100 low-grade spirit stones.

The talisman maker is indeed a money-burning profession.

Lin Mu took out the spirit stones from his storage bag, but after taking out all the low-grade spirit stones, he only collected 3,600 pieces, still short of 1,700 pieces.

Previously, in the Qianfu Store, he had already given all the spirit stones to Qianfuzi.

Later, on the way to the Fire Dragon Valley, he killed Wu Xin, and from Wu Xin and Yao Yuan's storage bags, Lin Mu got a total of 3,600 low-grade spirit stones.

In addition, Lin Mu did not have a single low-grade spirit stone on him.

The white-clothed disciple saw Lin Mu's embarrassment and reminded him, "If you don't have enough low-grade spirit stones, you can pay with medium-grade spirit stones. One medium-grade spirit stone counts as one hundred low-grade spirit stones."

Middle-grade spirit stones!

Lin Mu suddenly remembered that when he was at Wuyin Peak, Qian Fuzi had given him fifty medium-grade spirit stones. Although he used up twenty-seven of them to activate the "Spirit Gathering Formation", there were still twenty-three left. These twenty-three medium-grade spirit stones were equivalent to two thousand three hundred low-grade spirit stones, which were enough to pay for this purchase.

Lin Mu smiled and found the medium-grade spirit stones from his storage bag, took out seventeen of them and put them on the counter.

The white-clothed disciple put away the spirit stones and said with a smile, "What else do you need?"

Lin Mu put the cloth bag into his storage bag and said with a smile, "No need, you can get busy." He walked directly out of the store.

The white-clothed disciple hurriedly got up to see him off.

Lin Mu left Qian Fu Store and went straight to the Wanqi Pavilion.

Before entering the store, the waiter of Wanqi Pavilion hurriedly came out: "Sir, please come in, what do you need?"

Lin Mu didn't say anything more this time, and went straight to the point: "Give me a top-grade wood magic weapon." His face changed, and his personality deliberately became different from before.

The waiter was stunned, his smile faded, and he said carefully: "I'm sorry, our store doesn't have a top-grade wood magic weapon. Do you need a gold magic weapon? Our gold magic weapons are well-made and praised by everyone. The attack power is also extraordinary..."

Lin Mu interrupted him, his face was unhappy: "I want to buy a top-grade wood magic weapon, wood, didn't you understand, idiot!"

The waiter smiled again and again, and said helplessly: "Our store really doesn't have a top-grade wood magic weapon. Wood magic weapons are rare, let alone top-grade magic weapons."

Lin Mu was furious: "There is not even a top-grade wood magic weapon here. You don't have any, and you still dare to call yourself Wanqi Pavilion. Are you fooling me, or do you not want this signboard anymore? "

The waiter broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead, and nodded and bowed: "It's not that we don't have any in our shop, but it's not easy to refine wooden magic tools. Once one comes out, it will be a rare commodity and will be snapped up. I'm not trying to fool you, it's just that there is a shortage of goods recently. If you are willing to wait, I will report to the elders of the sect and ask him to refine one specially for you. Do you think this is okay?" The waiter saw that Lin Mu had an extraordinary demeanor and couldn't guess his origins. He didn't dare to offend him easily, so he could only smile and calm down.

Lin Mu's expression eased: "How long will it take to refine it?"

He was complaining in his heart, but the waiter smiled: "I can't guarantee this. It is the elders who decide to refine the magic weapon. If you are lucky, you may be able to get one in ten days or eight days. If you are unlucky, it is possible to wait for a year or two."

Lin Mu's anger subsided a little, and he asked: "Who is the elder who refines the weapon in your sect? Can I meet him?"

The waiter was complaining in his heart. Why is this person so persistent? Is he going to let people live!

"I'm afraid I can't promise you this." The waiter said carefully: "The third elder is mainly responsible for refining magic weapons for sale, but he is very busy on weekdays and rarely comes to the store."

Lin Mu smiled faintly: "It's okay. It happens that I have a lot of free time recently, so I can wait slowly. You just need to help me inform, and these few spirit stones will be your running fee." Lin Mu took out four spirit stones from the storage bag and handed them to the waiter.

The waiter waved his hand and was about to refuse, but his eyes flashed and fell on the spirit stones in Lin Mu's hand. The four spirit stones were crystal clear and sparkling, and compared with the dull and messy low-grade spirit stones, they looked much more beautiful.

These were clearly medium-grade spirit stones!

The waiter was excited and surprised. They were medium-grade spirit stones!

He only earned eighty low-grade spirit stones for a month of guarding here. These four medium-grade spirit stones were equivalent to four hundred low-grade spirit stones, or even higher, which was equivalent to his five-month salary.

He originally thought that this person was just rewarding him with four low-grade spirit stones, so he refused without thinking.

You want to use four low-grade spirit stones to bribe me? Do you really think I am simple? !

But when he saw that these were four medium-grade spirit stones, he stood still and looked at Lin Mu with a different look, looking up at him more.

He had previously thought that Lin Mu was just an ordinary rich nobleman, but now it seems that he is not just ordinary rich, but extremely rich!

He had never heard of the errand fee of four medium-grade spirit stones in his life.

"Why, don't you want to?" Seeing that the waiter's eyes were dull and he didn't respond for a long time, Lin Mu shook the spirit stone in his hand and asked with a smile.

"Yes! Yes!" The waiter took the spirit stone with both hands and nodded in agreement.

Lin Mu smiled and said, "When can I see the Third Elder?"

The waiter smiled brightly, "Don't worry, I will make sure you can see the Third Elder within ten days."

Lin Mu smiled and said, "Thank you very much. If you can really accomplish this, I will reward you handsomely afterwards."

The waiter smiled even more and asked, "How can I contact you?"

Lin Mu took out a "Transmission Note" from his storage bag, left a trace of his own mark on it, and handed it to the waiter, saying, "When the time comes, you just need to release this "Transmission Note", and I will come immediately."

The waiter took the Sound Transmission Note, nodded and smiled, "Okay, just wait for my good news."

Lin Mu nodded, with a faint smile on his face, and turned to walk out of the Wanqi Pavilion.
