Chapter 977: Scam
After finding an inn in Shanling City, Lin Ye left Xia Ruge in the room and walked out alone.
Xia Ruge had a backup plan left by him, so she wasn't afraid of sneaking away on her own.
Furthermore, most of her cultivation was sealed, and she had nothing left on her body. Sneaking away would probably be more dangerous than staying with Lin Ye.
Lin Ye was walking on the streets of Shanling City. Most of the places here were small things displayed by some casual cultivators, and many of them used their presence in the city to defraud spiritual stones.
Xia Ruge was right. Yun Jingbei of the Immortal Spirit Sect was indeed a famous monk here for a long time. With Lin Ye's current strength, he was certainly no match for him.
However, Lin Ye had no intention of just rushing into the Xianling Sect. Otherwise, he would have gone directly to the Xianling Sect, and how would he have come here.
Lin Ye stopped and saw a small building with the Xianling Sect's sign in front of him.
There were many monks coming in and out of the door, which showed that the Xianling Sect's reputation here was pretty good.
"What is this fellow Taoist here for?"
As soon as Lin Ye came in, someone came to greet him and asked first.
Lin Ye's current cultivation level is only that of a pill-forming monk, and he is no different from most of the people around him. Such an enthusiastic attitude makes people a little confused.
"Fellow Taoist, don't be nervous. I think you are a little unfamiliar with this place, so I came here to help you."
Lin Ye glanced at his appearance and understood what was going on.
The person in front of me was not from the Immortal Spirit Sect, but someone who wanted to earn spiritual stones here. Maybe he looked at Lin Ye, so he regarded him as a 'fat sheep'.
"Fellow Taoist, if you need anything, just tell me. I am very familiar with this place and I will definitely be able to help you."
As he spoke, the man got closer to Lin Ye and said secretly: "I know the shopkeeper here. Whether you are buying or selling, I can give you three points of spiritual stones when I am here."
Asking him to give him three points of spiritual stones? Is it enough to trick him into giving him three points of spiritual stones?
Lin Ye was also tricked by this kind of people in his previous life, and he was very familiar with their methods.
"Okay. I have something here that I want to exchange for some spiritual stones. How about you arrange it?"
Lin Ye took out a bottle of round elixir, waved it gently in front of this man, and said so.
Third grade elixir!
When the man saw the luster of the elixir, he recognized its grade at a glance, and his heart suddenly felt hot.
Apart from the magical weapons used by monks, this elixir is the most in demand.
And because elixirs are consumables, the demand in this area is also the greatest.
Even within the sect, there are very few high-level alchemists, so the elixir here means a large sum of spiritual stones.
"Easy to say, easy to say. Fellow Taoist, just call me Feng Yu. I don't know what to call me, fellow Taoist?"
"Jiang Jiu."
"Okay, okay, fellow Daoist Jiang, please wait a moment, I'll be back as soon as I can." Feng Yu said, quickly running towards the back of the small building.
If he were an ordinary monk, seeing the direction he was going, he might think he was from the Immortal Spirit Sect.
But Lin Ye knew that this was just an illusion he made. In fact, the person who cooperated with him was the real person from the Xianling Sect.
After a while, Feng Yu came back, and beside him was a thin middle-aged man.
"Does your Excellency have the elixir to take action?"
The middle-aged man who came over said in an impatient tone before he came over.
"For Brother Feng's sake, come with me."
The man had a look of reluctance on his face and walked past Lin Ye with an extremely rude attitude and said.
"Brother Jiang, don't be stunned. Let's go quickly. This is the opportunity I've been begging for for a long time. When it happens, you must remember my goodness."
Feng Yu said as he pushed Lin Ye towards the room upstairs.
The first floor of the small building is mainly for monks to come and go, and there is nothing to display.
It's different when you get to the second floor. As soon as you enter, there are several high-level magic weapons placed in conspicuous positions, and there are even some low-level magic weapons high up.
Except for the people from the Xianling Sect, all the people who can get here are people with a certain level of strength.
Although these things are not uncommon to them, the fact that they can be placed here so casually is enough to prove the strength of the Xianling Sect, and it is enough to intimidate ordinary monks.
Lin Ye was led by the middle-aged man in front of him and walked to a small room at the end of the corridor.
"Take your things out."
The thin middle-aged man urged Lin Ye to hand over the elixir before sitting down. Feng Yu next to him also urged him repeatedly.
Lin Ye glanced at the two people in front of him, sat down calmly, and placed a jade bottle in the center of the table.
Feng Yu quickly picked up the things and handed them to the middle-aged man.
The bottle of elixir contains a third-grade elixir, Peiyuan Dan, which is a general type of elixir and is used to restore monks' true energy, which is relatively common.
After all, it is an elixir and can be used in martial arts battles, so its value is pretty good.
"There are five third-grade elixirs. The quality is acceptable. Let's do this. I'll take the three thousand spirit stones."
Although they were refined casually, at Lin Ye's level, the quality of these pills was more than just 'fair', and the price of three thousand spirit stones was obviously meant to deceive others.
Although there was nothing visible on the face of the middle-aged man in front of him, he was actually already happy in his heart.
The quality of these pills far exceeded his expectations. If they were resold, they would be worth at least 30,000 spiritual stones.
There were so many spirit stones between before and after, and he was sure to get this sum today no matter what.
"Brother Jiang, three thousand spiritual stones is already a lot. I think you shouldn't hesitate."
Feng Yu next to him quickly echoed.
"Well, for my sake, how about adding another three hundred spirit stones?"
"Since Brother Feng said so, I will give you this face. Three thousand two hundred spiritual stones, this cannot be added."
The middle-aged man put on a look of pain on his face and said reluctantly.
When Feng Yu saw this, he quickly looked at Lin Ye and signaled him to agree quickly.
Of course, Lin Ye didn't pay attention to their performance. He slowly moved the pills on the table aside and said calmly: "No rush. How about you take a look at this."
As he spoke, another bottle of elixir was placed in the center of the table.
The light blue luster reflected in their eyes, and Feng Yu and the middle-aged man immediately recognized the grade of the elixir.
Fourth grade elixir!
Regeneration Pill, a fourth-grade elixir, is mainly used to repair the body of monks and regenerate limbs. It can be said to be a life-saving elixir.
This elixir was much stronger than the previous Peiyuan Dan. When they thought of its value, the two people present felt excited.
Since the elixir was produced by Lin Ye, it goes without saying that it is of high quality.
The spiritual herbs among them were also relatively rare. Zhou Zhengqing scoured all the spiritual herbs from surrounding sects to gather the needed elixirs.
"How much can you offer for this bottle of elixir?"
Lin Ye gently pushed the jade bottle in front of the two of them and said calmly.
The eyes of the two people opposite had long been focused on the elixir. As soon as Lin Ye let go, he immediately held it in his hands.
"A fourth-grade elixir, a regeneration elixir, the quality... is acceptable, how about the price of 10,000 spirit stones?"
Even he himself didn't believe what the middle-aged man said.
