Chapter 246: Cultivating Immortals Is Full of Pitfalls

Inside the Dongting Water Pavilion.

Seeing that Shen Lian was still skeptical, shopkeeper Lin didn't say much and instead pretended to be sophisticated.

"How can I believe what you said is true?" Shen Lian said.

The dragon's blood can help Sanqian awaken his bloodline, and can also be used to refine the magic elixir of God.

This thing is not easy to obtain. There are many third-level demon kings, but there are not many third-level dragon demon kings. The bloodline of the other dragon-type monsters is a bit too bad.

"Fellow Taoist, you are worrying too much. Our Dongting Water Pavilion is our signature, what else can't be trusted?"

Shen Lian didn't know how to answer this.

How could an outsider know whether the Dongting Waterside Pavilion's sign was strong or not?

“I don’t know how long it will take and how much the deposit will be.”

"Two to three years, there is still a deposit of 200,000 low-grade spiritual stones."

Shen Lian raised his eyebrows. The deposit of 200,000 low-grade spiritual stones was not much, but it just took a long time.

"It's too long." He shook his head slightly, and then said: "How about fellow Taoist take out the blood essence and blood of the third-order rock dragon in your pavilion and take a look."

Shopkeeper Lin was stunned for a moment and quickly reacted.

"Fellow Taoist, please wait."

Not long after, shopkeeper Lin came over with a red copper bowl in his hand. Strong red fire was beating inside the copper bowl, and there was a faint dragon swimming around.

"Fellow Taoist, please take a look."

Shen Lian's spiritual thoughts fell into the copper bowl, and a ball of dragon's blood solidified like a rock was piled inside the copper bowl.

The rock dragon lives in the volcano. Once the dragon's blood is separated from the body, it will solidify like a red crystal.

Jian Shenlian checked it carefully and found that the blood essence of the rock dragon dragon was of a good quality and could be used as one of the main ingredients for refining the magic elixir.

"What's the selling price?"

"Thirty thousand middle-grade spiritual stones."

"I'll pay with low-grade spiritual stones."

"Three hundred and fifty thousand low-grade spiritual stones."

Shopkeeper Lin didn't blush and directly added 50,000 yuan to the price of low-grade spiritual stones.

"Can you tell me the origin of this copper bowl rock dragon blood?"

"Don't worry, fellow Taoist, this rock dragon blood comes from a safe source. The dragon skin has already been sold by my pavilion."

Shopkeeper Lin put the rock dragon blood aside and led Shen Lian to sit down again.

"Since fellow Taoist is not willing to let me in the pavilion obtain higher-quality dragon blood, there is a channel to obtain dragon blood here."

At this point, Shopkeeper Lin stopped talking and his eyes fell on Shen Lian.

The meaning is obvious.

Shen Lian knew the news and understood, "I wonder how many spiritual stones are needed to buy this news?"

"Twenty thousand middle-grade spiritual stones."

After speaking, Shopkeeper Lin added another sentence.

"This time I only need mid-grade spiritual stones."

Shen Lian took another look at Shopkeeper Lin. One of the fake elixir cultivators should be as strong as three or four Qian Shi real people, and the demon elixir he refined should be of high quality.

After thinking for a while, he said: "As long as the news is true, spiritual stones are not a problem."

"The news is destined to be true. I swear on my own life that if it is false, I will die when the false elixir collapses."

Shopkeeper Lin raised his hand and pointed it in the shape of a sword, and swore solemnly.

"How about it, now fellow Taoist can believe what I say."

Shopkeeper Lin squinted his eyes, "I see that fellow Taoist can't wait. Otherwise, you can let me in the pavilion do it for you. Fellow Taoist only needs to wait in Dongting Fairy City to receive the goods, and it also avoids the risk of running around. ”

Shen Lian waved his hand and a long river of spiritual stones landed in front of Shopkeeper Lin.

The pile on the left contains 350,000 low-grade spiritual stones, and the pile on the right contains 20,000 medium-grade spiritual stones.

Shopkeeper Lin directly put 20,000 middle-grade spiritual stones into his storage ring, and took out a jade slip and pressed it on his forehead.

Soon, Shen Lian took the jade slip and sensed that there were only three words in it.

Canglan Mountain.

"What is this place?"

Shen Lian had some doubts. He thought that the information provided by Shopkeeper Lin would be the same as what he had received in other treasure pavilions before, that there was a demon king of a certain rank in a certain place.

I didn't think of a place name.

This made him a little suspicious.

Shopkeeper Lin smiled and said, "Fellow Taoists will know this place as soon as they inquire about it."

Seeing Shen Lian leave, Shopkeeper Lin hummed a tune and walked to the window sill, watching Shen Lian's figure on the street gradually disappear.

At this time, a figure came behind him.

"Uncle Lin, this person is also Jin Dan Zhenren. If he knew you cheated him like this, would he take revenge on us?"

Shopkeeper Lin didn't even look back, "What is a trap?"

"This is called information gap!"

"When doing business, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. If I have news, he wants news."

"I said he gave me 20,000 spirit stones. How can I call him a cheat?"

"Besides, I was right about Canglan Mountain. Whether he can obtain the dragon's blood depends on his ability. If you want to blame him, blame him for not knowing about Canglan Mountain."

"Twenty thousand mid-grade spiritual stones, I can help him increase his experience."

"As for causing trouble..."

"Hmph, as the shopkeeper of Dongtian Water Pavilion, how can I mess with just a foreign golden elixir?"

With that said, shopkeeper Lin walked to the table and looked at the mountain of spiritual stones.

"Put these spiritual stones away and put them in storage."

"I haven't seen such a foreign visitor for many years. Can you blame me?"

From the moment Shen Lian came in and asked for dragon blood, shopkeeper Lin noticed that Shen Lian was designated as an outsider.

Moreover, they came to Dongting Fairy City from a very far away place, so far away that their area was unclear.

In fact, I was almost in a hurry along the way and didn't interact with many monks.

Otherwise, it’s impossible that you haven’t heard of Canglan Mountain.

Coming from afar and not knowing the news, I wonder if this is an opportunity to make a fortune that is coming to my door.

As for what happened afterwards, Shen Lian knew that he had been tricked, and he was not afraid of people coming to his door.

When doing business, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. If you can't tell the difference, it's your own problem.

If you want to come to ask for advice, you must at least find out who Lin Jiasong is.

The ancestor of my family, Lin Jiasong, is about to be promoted to Yuanying. He is the head cultivator of the Dongyuan Sect, the strongest among the three major sects in Dongting Immortal City.

His grandson, Lin Jiasong, is expected to be a Yuanying.

The Lin family is the strongest family within the strongest Jindan sect in Dongting Immortal City.

It would be better for a foreign monk to suffer more losses, and he would understand that the journey is difficult.

He believed that as a golden elixir monk, he knew exactly what to do.

If you mess with someone you shouldn't mess with for the sake of 20,000 medium-grade spiritual stones, you won't be wrong if your head is in a different place.

As for Canglan Mountain, it is the territory of the demon clan.

The Canglan Demon King who dominates Canglan Mountain is completely different from the demon kings in other places.

The human race hunted the demon race in order to practice, refine weapons, and make talismans. They fought for their lives for this purpose, causing a bloody storm.

It is said that the Great Demon King Canglan was in great pain because of this fighting and dispute, and finally thought of a good solution.

Why fight and kill? In the final analysis, it is not all business.

The demon clan already has phenomena such as skin shedding and tooth loss, so it is completely possible to use the discarded animal skins, the bones and teeth of the demon beasts, and exchange them with the human race for cultivation needs.

In addition, every few tens or hundreds of years, a certain demon king would bleed himself. Not only would it not have a big impact on him, but he could also exchange for other cultivation resources.

This is so good, why bother to fight and kill.

…

After the monk who collected the spiritual stones left, Lin Jiasong walked to the window again and looked at the monks passing by on the street.

"I came all the way to buy dragon essence and blood, and even took out hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones without blinking an eye. I have a lot of wealth."

Lin Jiasong frowned slightly as he moved his fingers.

He could only sense that Shen Lian's strength was between the early stage and the middle stage of the golden elixir. Even so, he was no match for a fake elixir.

"How many years have passed before I met such a Taoist friend who has a lot of wealth and has come from a long way away."

"This person should not be from the Yuanying sect. The nearby Yuanying sect should not have heard of Canglan Mountain."

"Even if you were born in a remote place in the Nanping Region, you should have heard some rumors about Canglan Mountain, unless it's not..."

"...Southern Continent."

Finally, Lin Jiasong's eyes lit up.

"Yes, it should be from the Southern Continent. It is probably not the golden elixir from the Yuanying Sect."

"I'm sorry, fellow Taoist, who let you slip up?"

With thoughts in his eyes, Lin Jiasong took out a jade talisman for communication.

…

After a stick of incense.

Yunhai Tower.

"What do you need, my fellow Taoist? I have the Three Lines Qingxu Pill used in Jindan practice, and some to restore vitality..."

The shopkeeper of Yunhai Tower looked at Shen Lian walking into the building, and walked up to greet him personally. He could sense that Shen Lian was Jin Dan Zhenren, but he couldn't tell what state he was in.

"Do you have dragon essence and blood, fellow Taoist?"

After Shen Lian looked at the furnishings in the shop, he asked.

However, when he finished speaking, he found the shopkeeper looking at him.

"Fellow Taoist, are you from other places?" Shopkeeper Yun looked at Shen Lian.

"Yes, I just came to your place after traveling all the way."

Shen Lian nodded in disbelief.

"That's it."

Shopkeeper Yun led Shen Lian behind the screen at the back of the building, and asked someone to serve spiritual tea.

"Fellow Taoist, please have some tea. Let's talk while sipping the tea."

After taking a sip of the spiritual tea, Shopkeeper Yun said, "It's normal for fellow Taoists to come from afar and not know about it. The third-level dragon blood can go to Canglan Mountain to have a look."

Shen Lian put the tea cup to his mouth and asked pretending to be curious: "I wonder if you can tell me where Canglan Mountain is?"

He asked questions, but in his heart he cursed.

Soon after hearing what Shopkeeper Yun said, Shen Lian knew where Canglan Mountain was.

Before, he knew all the big places in the Central Continent. Canglan Mountain was a small area. There were hundreds of such places in the Central Continent. When he collected relevant information before, he didn't pay too much attention to it.

In addition, after he came out of Yunduan Immortal City, he dressed up as a monk along the way, sold some ordinary elixirs, and did not have much contact with the golden elixir monks.

No, someone would have caught him with just a little negligence.

The monks in the world of cultivating immortals are really smarter than monkeys even if they have hair on them.

It is said.

Canglan Mountain is a model cultivation place where humans and demons coexist peacefully.

Here, if you need monster resources, you don’t need to hunt them. As long as you have spirit stones and resources, the monster king will bleed you directly in front of you.

For this not-so-secret news, he was actually cheated out of 20,000 mid-grade spiritual stones.

There is no doubt that his first words about needing dragon blood after entering the Cave Sky Water Pavilion made people immediately recognize him as a foreign monk.

Moreover, it is relatively far from outside, so the local Jindan monks should be aware of this rumor.

Therefore, I decided to trick him on a whim.

“&*…&…%&%…￥…& (expletive)”

…

"Been taught a lesson."

Shen Lian cursed in his heart, but he still had his self-control on the surface. He put down his teacup and bowed to the shopkeeper opposite him.

It was also his fault that he had bought intelligence too smoothly before. The price of intelligence information was not constant.

In Shen Lian's opinion, 20,000 medium-grade spirit stones would not be a loss if he could buy them through the right channels.

In his opinion, anything that could be done with spirit stones was not a big deal.

But he didn't expect that someone would cheat him with the means he was best at.

Awesome!

"It's just a matter of one sentence. Daoyou, you are too kind."

Shopkeeper Yun smiled and returned the greeting.

Then, Shen Lian asked, "Does Daoyou have thunder spirit stones in your building?"

"There are some."

Afterwards, Shen Lian exchanged some thunder spirit stones in Yunhai Building, and the price did not make Yunhai Building suffer. After being cheated by Dongtian Waterside, he felt that the shopkeeper of Yunhai Building was very kind.

…

“Twenty thousand middle-grade spirit stones, you really dare to ask for it, aren’t you afraid of being stuffed to death?”

Towards evening, Shen Lian entered the ‘Shuiling’ Inn to rest.

After coming out of Yunhai Tower, he wandered around the city again, buying spirit objects while also finding out who was cheating him.

No wonder he dared to cheat him of twenty thousand spirit stones without blushing or beating his heart.

It turned out that there was someone behind the scenes.

Lin Jiasong, the deputy shopkeeper of Dongtian Waterside, his family is the strongest family in the most powerful Jindan sect here.

The Lin family also has a Jindan Dacheng cultivator, who is said to have been preparing to pass the Yuanying Heavenly Tribulation a long time ago. It is rumored that this person’s success rate in passing the tribulation is more than 50%.

In addition, this person has a grandson who has top-grade water and earth spirit roots, and the scales of both spirit roots are close to ninety, and he is also expected to become a Yuanying.

It is said that the cultivators near Dongtian Fairy City are waiting for the Lin family ancestor to be promoted to Yuanying, and then unify Dongtian Fairy City and advance to Yuanying forces.

Speaking of which, Shen Lian was cheated more than once or twice, and he has cheated people countless times.

Previously, in Lingyun Pavilion, he spent hundreds of thousands of low-grade spirit stones, but those spirit stones were exchanged for useful information.

Unlike this time, it is obvious that he is a fool.

Moreover, after Lin cheated him, he would probably scold him and say that he deserved it.

Then he looked like you can't do anything to me.

This is too uncomfortable.

"I took out hundreds of thousands of spirit stones in the daytime, which is considered to be showing off my wealth. This guy won't want to open his heart to me."

Shen Lian, who was meditating, opened and closed his eyes suddenly.

This is really not what he thought too much. This guy dared to cheat him so blatantly, and his appetite might be even bigger.

"Such a smart shopkeeper, who made a judgment based on my words and made a quick decision to cheat me, should also be able to guess where I came from."

After thinking for a while, Shen Lian combined all the information he could think of, and felt that the probability of him being attacked next was at least 70%.

The main reason is that his character is so great.

He came from afar, and it's not just an ordinary faraway place.

Who would have thought that he would reveal his true colors with just one sentence of asking for dragon blood.

"Although Dongyuan Sect is the only one in the world, it will not take action in the city. It can only take action outside the city."

...

"Then let's try it and see if it works."

Thinking of this, Shen Lian did not stay in the inn any longer, and went out of the city under the cover of night.

When Shen Lian left, Lin Jiasong, who was in Dongtian Waterside Pavilion, immediately got the news.

"It seems that Fellow Daoist Li reacts very quickly, but it's a pity that it's still a little late to leave now."
