Chapter 27: Zhang Sen Borrows Spirit Stone Again

Translator: 549690339

Now that night had just fallen, there were still many people on the streets, and Lin Jing felt no fear from the man in black doing him any harm.

Because in Fang Market, there were rules that no one could attack at will, otherwise, the penalty would be light in some cases, such as the abolition of one’s cultivation, followed by expulsion from Fang Market.

In severe cases, the offender would be killed on the spot.

However, even so, there were still people who caused trouble at midnight, especially on the outskirts of Fang Market, where monitoring was not so strict, and people often disappeared.

As for the Fang Market itself, they turned a blind eye, as long as there was no trouble within the market itself.

The outskirts were just home to some Loose Cultivators who depended on Fang Market, and were not considered that important.

After leaving, Lin Jing strolled around for a bit before selling some elixir medicines in small quantities at other shops, and then he returned home.

Once home, Lin Jing poured out all his Spirit Stones and counted them.

With those sold today, Lin Jing now had nearly 1,800 Lower Grade Spirit Stones.

These Spirit Stones should be enough to buy a decent Magic Artifact, but he was unsure if he could afford a Magical Treasure that was a bit cheaper.

“Hmm, I’ll go to Yuebaolou tomorrow to see if there are any Magical Treasures that are a bit cheaper,”

Lin Jing contemplated.

At night, Lin Jing entered the System Space, neatly putting away the harvested Spirit Rice and Seven-Star Grass.

After a few more days, he could sell the Spirit Rice and Seven-Star Grass.

Once everything was in order, Lin Jing commenced his alchemy work.

Perhaps due to bad luck, he didn’t produce a single Pure Elixir that evening.

The next day, at Yuebaolou.

“Lin Daoyou, this Concealment Artifact can block the Divine Sense probes of late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators. Its effects could be said to be quite remarkable, and it’s priced at only 1,200 Spirit Stones.”

Lin Jing looked at the black cloak-like artifact. Wearing it on the head would be so conspicuous, what good would it do if it could defend against Divine Sense probes?

He couldn’t help shaking his head.

The artifact was too conspicuous, and it could only guard against the Divine Sense probes of Foundation Establishment Cultivators, which did not meet his requirements.

However, with his finances, this was probably the best level of Concealment Artifact he could buy.

Magic Artifacts crafted by cultivators below the Golden Core Stage were called

‘Magic Artifacts.’

Only Magical Treasures created by Golden Core Stage and above Cultivators were termed as Magical Treasures.

The Concealment Magical Treasure of the Golden Core Stage that Lin Jing wanted was too expensive, with the cheapest starting at tens of thousands of Spirit Stones.

As for why Lin Jing didn’t directly buy a Foundation Establishment Concealment Artifact,

it was because in the future he needed to frequently sell elixir medicines, and he needed to change his identity often to avoid attracting attention.

Moreover, most of the backers behind the various shops were Golden Core Stage Cultivators. In the future, Lin Jing would unavoidably sell a large quantity of Pure Elixir Medicines and have to interact with them; the Concealment function of a Foundation Establishment Artifact was practically nonexistent against Golden Core Stage Cultivators.

Buying one might as well be the same as not buying at all.

Feeling helpless, he could only put the idea aside for now. At present, it was still fine, as he had always been very careful and had not attracted anyone’s attention. For the time being, there was no harm.

Then, Lin Jing returned home. Just as he arrived at the gate, stepping into the courtyard, someone called out to him.

“Brother Lin.”

Lin Jing turned around to see that it was the brothers Zhang Sen and Zhang Lin.

“Brother Zhang, what is it?” Lin Jing asked.

Ever since he found out that the two were addicted to gambling, Lin Jing’s impression of them had not been very good.

However, remembering that Zhang Sen had been of help when he had first arrived, Lin Jing did not show it too obviously.

“Brother Lin,” Zhang Sen appeared somewhat uneasy, then continued to speak. “This time we’re troubling Brother Lin to save us brothers. Please lend us 10 Spirit Stones so we can pay the management fee for this period at the Fang Market. We beg you, Brother Lin.”

“Management fee?” Lin Jing pondered for a moment, then remembered.

Wasn’t that what he paid yesterday? What was the matter with these two?

Logically speaking, it shouldn’t be difficult for the two mid-stage Qi Practitioners to earn ten Spirit Stones, yet now they could not even produce that amount.

“Could it be that they gambled again?” Lin Jing thought subsequently.

“Sorry, I just paid the management fee, and I’m not very well-off lately,” Lin Jing said, declining directly.

“Lin Brother, we’ve really run into some trouble this time. In consideration of us being neighbors, please help us out just this once,”

“Otherwise, I’ll be chased out of here. There are demonic beasts everywhere outside now, and if I get chased out, we’ll have no chance of survival,”

“I promise, after this time, I will quickly pay back the spirit stones I owe you.”

Lin Jing had heard these words countless times already, and he found it hard to believe Zhang Sen anymore.

Lin Jing spoke coldly:

“Sorry, I truly don’t have any spirit stones to lend you.”

Zhang Sen became somewhat anxious and blurted out:

“That’s impossible, how can you not have spirit stones? I just saw you leaving

Yuebaolou yesterday.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Jing’s expression collapsed:

“What I do doesn’t require an explanation to you.”

“Lin Brother, sorry, my brother spoke out of turn. Please, help us one more time, just this time,”

Zhang Sen’s face now bore a pleading expression, while Zhang Lin beside him was keeping his head down, shivering.

Lin Jing looked at the two brothers, Zhang Sen and Zhang Lin, with a cold expression:

“Gentlemen, out of neighborly consideration, I already did my duty by lending you spirit stones last time.”

“Now, you haven’t yet returned what you borrowed last time, and you’re here to borrow again. Do you think I’m easy to bully?”

“Furthermore…”

“Shouldn’t you be returning the spirit stones you borrowed last time…”

Just then, Ning Yue walked over with Luo Luo. Luo Luo ran up, grabbed Lin Jing’s arm, looked up at him, and said:

“Uncle Lin, are those two trying to borrow your spirit stones again?”

“You must not lend it to them, they’re bad people, and they just know how to cheat Uncle Lin of his spirit stones.”

“Yesterday, my mother and I saw them coming out of… that place, what’s it called, Qianjinfang.”

“Mother said they lost all their money again, and they’re definitely going to cheat people next. Uncle Lin, you must not fall for their tricks.”

At this time, Ning Yue also spoke up:

“Lin Daoyou, you can’t trust what they say.”

Lin Jing nodded.

He looked at Zhang Sen again, whose complexion had darkened, knowing he definitely wouldn’t be able to borrow this time.

“About the spirit stones borrowed last time, please give me a few more days,

Lin Brother. We’ll return it as soon as possible,” “Lin Brother, I’ll take my leave.”

With that, Zhang Sen bade farewell to Lin Jing and left.

However, the view of his back as he turned around seemed somewhat forlorn.

“Hmph…!”

Luo Luo snorted, then wore a triumphant face, as if she had won a great battle.

After Zhang Sen and Zhang Lin had walked far away, Luo Luo turned back around and put on a bitter face.

“Uncle Lin, save me,” Luo Luo said with a cry.

“This little girl,” Lin Jing said with a laugh yet not quite able to laugh.

“What’s wrong with Luo Luo now? Who has bullied you? Tell your uncle.”

“Mother is bullying me! She wouldn’t let me come over to Uncle Lin’s to mooch a meal yesterday.”

“And Mom tried to cook like Uncle Lin. She’s too clumsy, after following Uncle Lin for so long she still hasn’t learned. The food isn’t tasty at all, and she still insists I eat it.”

“I really have it tough-”

Saying this, Luo Luo wiped away non-existent tears, feigning sadness. “Luo Luo, are you asking for it again?”

Luo Luo’s voice wasn’t quiet, Ning Yue heard every word clearly.

At this moment, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment, and with a lioness’ roar, she startled Luo Luo into quickly running behind Lin Jing for cover.

Fearing a spanking..
