Chapter 125

Outside Medicine City

200 miles away from Medicine City, there is a town called Ba Shan. It is surrounded by eight mountains, hence the name Ba Shan Town. Ba Shan Town is the largest populated town under the Five Elements Sect, it's almost like a small city.

When Lin Jiang arrived at Ba Shan Town, it was already completely dark. He was wearing a long cloak, unable to see any physical features, and his spiritual sense couldn't penetrate it either. This cloak is an extremely high-quality magical artifact.

There is a black market outside Yunzhong City, and of course there is one in Medicine City, too. It is set up in Ba Shan Town. Lin Jiang had already come here when he settled in Medicine City before, so he already knew the situation very well.

He arrived at a residence in the black market with ease. A middle-aged man appeared and said to Lin Jiang, "I don't know what I can do to help the esteemed guest."

"Get someone else, it's a big deal."

"Dear guest, please wait for a moment."

The middle-aged man wasn't angry and quickly left. It wasn't long before a person wearing a mask appeared.

"What important business brings a distinguished guest?"

"I want to use the Split Spirit Technique."

"Split Spirit Technique, my, my, what skillful guest we have here! You actually know about this secret technique."

"In one word, do you have it or not?"

"Yes, but what do you have to exchange? This technique is of high grade, and only extraordinary items can be traded."

"News about Pill King Li Ruoxu."

"Please go ahead, distinguished guest."

"News is unique. I spoke it out, you said it didn't meet your requirements, and my news leaked again. I suffered a loss."

"What does the esteemed guest want?"

"I engraved the news on the jade scroll. We will exchange them at the same time. I am here, so you shouldn't be afraid of me deceiving you, right?"

"Okay."

The masked person nodded. Pill King Li Ruoxu is a very special and important person in Yun State. Information about him has always been extremely valuable in the black market. Some information can help certain people accomplish important tasks, such as asking Li Ruoxu to refine powerful and crucial medicinal pills.

The masked person brought the jade scroll of the Split Spirit Technique, while Lin Jiang also had a floating jade scroll in front of him. They exchanged the scrolls, and as soon as Lin Jiang received it, he immediately opened it and used his spiritual awareness to quickly understand its contents.

"Pill King Li Ruoxu's disciple, Wen Xing, is a very bad man who has many women."

"Thief, how dare you deceive me!"

After the masked person received Lin Jiang's jade scroll, there was only one sentence. Suddenly, he became extremely angry and slapped Lin Jiang with a palm, causing his body to instantly burst.

After the explosion, instead of blood and flesh flying around, there were flying pieces of metal and wood, along with a storage bag.

"Puppet"

The masked person was extremely angry. He didn't expect to be tricked by a puppet. He put away the storage bag, and the markings on it almost disappeared easily, inside it was a pile of spirit stones and a jade scroll.

"Forgive me, Taoist friend. I don't have anything valuable to trade for the Split Spirit Technique, so I can only offer these. There are fifty thousand spirit stones and a high-quality cloak, with a total value of eighty-five thousand. I hope you understand."

When the masked man saw the words on the jade scroll, he became so angry that he burst into laughter.

"Is my face worth so little?"

The masked man sneered and then soared into the sky. He controlled the puppet with his divine sense, knowing that his real body must be nearby.

However, when the masked man reached the sky above Baishan Town and released his divine sense, he didn't see anyone. This greatly surprised him, and he murmured. It's impossible, they ran away so fast in just an instant?

"Could they still be in the black market?"

"Martial Uncle Zhang"

At Zhang Wanjing's residence, Lin Jiang saw Zhang Shuhua and quickly greeted him.

"What's wrong? Why do you look so pale and unstable?"

"I had a little trouble with my cultivation practice, but it's nothing serious. It's all fine now."

"Cultivation practice requires steady progress. If you don't understand something, you can come and ask me."

"I can't just enter this inner door freely."

"After today, you will also be an inner disciple."

"I haven't agreed yet."

"Haha."

Zhang Shuhua laughed coldly. The esteemed ancestor with a perfected golden core has accepted you as a disciple, and you still refuse?

"Greetings, Martial Uncle."

"No need for formalities, find a place to sit on your own, I have no rules here."

"Thank you, Martial Uncle."

Lin Jiang obediently sat down, and Zhang Shuhua also found a place to sit.

"Xiao Yi, I've managed to get credit for your achievements. Instead of giving you a Building Foundation Pill, I made an exception and promoted you to the inner sect. I also gave you ten bottles of high-quality Spirit Gathering Pills and allowed you to choose a lower-grade mysterious technique or secret art from the Library Pavilion."

"Thank you, Martial Uncle. Thank you, Sect."

"Indeed, it's a profitable venture. Not a single flicker of emotion when the Building Foundation Pill was gone."

"I am grateful for the favors bestowed upon me by the sect, as they are like thunder and rain nurturing the land. Xiao Yi only knows gratitude."

Lin Jiang quickly flattered. Come on, it's just a Building Foundation Pill. I can afford it.

"That statement sounds somewhat untrue."

"He made a lot of money this time and can buy a Building Foundation Pill on his own."

Zhang Shuhua chimed in, having secretly investigated as his father intended to take Lin Jiang as his disciple. Although he didn't know the exact amount of money earned, it was definitely a significant sum, considering the few speculation projects involved.

"Xiao Yi, can you tell us how much money you made?"

"Where can I find a lot of money? All the money I have is earned through hard work, a drop of sweat for a spirit stone, you know?"

"Well, I don't mind sweating every day."

"So, Martial Uncle must be exchanging a drop of sweat for a Premium Spirit Stone."

"Haha, no need to flatter me. Let me ask you, would you like to become my disciple?"

"Are you interested in being an official disciple or a special disciple?"

"I never take official disciples."

Zhang Wanjing said, expressing his strong distaste for taking official disciples. Those who do take official disciples just make them do all the chores, like servants or slaves.

"Disciple greets the Master."

Lin Jiang quickly exclaimed, wanting to cling onto someone with a complete golden core. He would get angry if anyone tries to stop him.
