Lin Jie stayed in the small courtyard for a few days, refining the elixir, and the results were pretty good. He refined seven Awakening Pills and ten Spirit-Gathering Pills.
The elixir success rate is about 80%, which is acceptable, even if I don't sleep for several days. He now looked a little down and out, his eyes were red and then surrounded by black circles.
I couldn't help but yawn and put away the refined elixir.
I plan to take it to the market to buy and sell it later. But now he has to sleep for a while, because he is really sleepy now.
I lay on the bed, closed my eyes, and fell asleep until noon the next day.
I woke up feeling refreshed, but a little hungry. Feeling a little shriveled in his stomach, he hadn't formed the elixir yet and hadn't completely escaped from the grain.
He didn't find any food in the kitchen these days. The only food seemed to be the dry food in the cabinet.
It's as hard as a rock, swallowing water and chewing it is like chewing wax. After taking one bite, he threw the basin and bowl out of the hospital.
Okay, sell the elixir and have a nice meal by the way, Lin Jie muttered.
I got up and went to the courtyard door. When I opened the door, I saw a man with hair covering his face squatting at the door.
"Junior sister Lin? You..."
He whispered, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the woman. She looked up at him, her eyes filled with tears.
"Senior Brother Lin, can you help me?"
"Let's talk as we walk."
Lin Jie did not refuse, thinking that since the other party came to her, it must be something she could solve.
The two walked together, but Lin Lanlan was always half a step behind Lin Jie.
The matter was actually very simple. Last month, she took care of the elixir for a senior brother Chu at his request. However, after the incident was completed, the senior brother did not pay her the corresponding reward. Originally, such a similar incident was of no use to them. For any talented disciple, it happened from time to time. Once she found out about it, she accepted it as bad luck and had no idea of asking for it.
But this month, the senior brother found her again and said that he was interested in her and would give her some benefits if she was willing. She refused, and was threatened and insulted by Senior Brother Chu.
It was because of something like this that she hid behind a tree and cried last time.
This is really bullshit, Lin Jie thought to himself, and his mood became a little heavy.
"Then Senior Brother Chu, what is your cultivation level?"
"Sixth level of Qi refining."
Lin Jie's eyes widened, his pupils shrank, and he looked back at the woman who had been half a step behind her. Asked with some surprise,
"Then what kind of cultivation level do you have? How many years have you been practicing?"
"Second level of Qi refining, I have been practicing for twelve years."
She was a little embarrassed and spoke very quietly.
Lin Jie stroked his forehead, he was a senior brother at the sixth level of qi training, and a junior sister who had been practicing at the second level for 12 years.
He turned out to be a waste of the best in cultivating immortals. Lin Jie had nothing to say. No wonder he was bullied by a guy at the sixth level of Qi Refining.
Lin Lanlan's face turned red, a little ashamed, and then panicked. She knew that her cultivation talent was very poor. In the past, if anyone found out about it, they would be greeted with disgusting tones and ridicule.
Will he do the same?
"Well, I'll take care of this for you when I get back later."
When she heard Lin Jie's words, her face lit up, and then she quickly thanked him and left after saying that.
"Don't leave yet. I'm going to the market town to buy some things. Please come with me."
"Oh, okay."
Lin Lanlan agreed. Still half a step behind him.
…………
Law enforcement peak, inside the law enforcement hall.
A deacon was waiting outside a room with a nervous expression.
"Enter."
As a mellow and elegant voice came, he opened the door.
I saw a middle-aged man wearing red clothes and a crown. He is Li Xiaoxuan, the peak master of Law Enforcement Peak.
At this time, he was reading a book called "Lectures on Solar Terms". On weekdays, when he has nothing to do, practicing and reading are his hobbies.
The deacon looked nervous, approached slightly, stopped at a distance not too far away, and spoke softly.
"Peak Master, Su Baizhou, the hostage girl sent by Xunyou Valley, is missing."
After hearing this, Li Xiaoxuan's face darkened and he put down the book in his hand.
"Speak carefully."
For ordinary things, Li Xiaoxuan usually just listens to the scene and knows what to do, and doesn't care how to deal with it.
But this matter is a bit big. When ordinary disciples disappear, unless they are direct disciples and chief disciples, he generally does not need to deal with it.
But this time the missing person is a hostage girl. If things are not done well, it will affect the relationship between the two families.
It didn't take long for the deacon to tell all the information he knew.
The last day Su Baizhou was seen before she disappeared was when she came out of seclusion ten days ago. She first received some training resources in the main peak hall. Then I went to visit a disciple with whom I had made good friends, and then I went to visit another...
"Wait a minute. How come this Su Baizhu has so many good friends?"
Li Xiaoxuan interrupted the deacon in front of him with a strange look on his face.
The elder deacon's face darkened, a little embarrassed. Of course, he was just embarrassed for Su Baizhu. It's just that I'm embarrassed to say it.
Briefly describe Su Baizhu's emotional life. Li Xiaoxuan frowned, obviously finding it difficult to accept, but still let him continue.
"After Su Baizhu left the male disciple's yard, he returned to the main peak, and then returned to Moon Shadow Peak."
"There is no problem with her movements on the day before she disappeared, because she saw many disciples, and they confirmed each other, so there is no problem. The monks who she met and befriended that day are also under interrogation, and there is no result yet."
Xu Xiaoxuan nodded and said while thinking.
"First, inform Xunyou Valley and ask the other party to send people to supervise and find out the truth. Second, investigate all the people who came into contact with Su Baizhou on the day he disappeared. Third, give me a more detailed report on Su Baizhou's situation in the sect. The information is, in short, very detailed.”
The deacon nodded and walked out of the room.
Xu Xiaoxuan looked at the books on the desk and sighed.
"It looks like I won't be able to read properly for a while."
…………
Lin Jie took Lin Lanlan to the market. This market is at the foot of the mountain and very close to the town at the foot of the mountain. Many disciples and casual cultivators come here.
Therefore, it is called a gathering place for casual cultivators, and it is under the joint jurisdiction of the Yunshan Sect and the Dali Imperial Court. However, the imperial court is only in name only. Of course, it is not just casual cultivators and sect disciples who do business here.
There are also many mortals who come here for profit. They come here to earn spiritual stones and exchange them for silver at the imperial bank. The exchange rate is about twice as high. The risk is relatively high, I mean the risk to personal safety.
Lin Jie found a shady and cooler place and took out a square piece of cloth from his storage bag.
He laid it out and placed the elixirs he wanted to sell on the cloth. It says on the cloth that the Soul-Gathering Pill and the Awakening Pill are for sale.
Lin Lanlan stood next to her, looking around timidly, while Lin Jie squatted on the ground. Looked up at her.
From his angle, he could see the woman's curvy figure, which could not be concealed even by the tattered clothes she wore.
"I'll squint for a while and you look carefully."
After saying that, he leaned against the wall, narrowed his eyes, and soon the sound of even and orderly breathing came out.
Lin Lanlan nodded, looked at Lin Jie with his eyes closed, and then returned his gaze, looking carefully at the surroundings and stalls.
Lin Jie did not fall asleep. He was always paying attention to his surroundings and was on guard against others.
Since you have chosen to help someone you don't know well, you must learn to look at a person from the details.
So he chose to pretend to be asleep and observe her behavior secretly. If she chooses to be lazy or commit suicide, then the fate between Lin Jie and her will end here.
But it seemed that she was just staring at the stall motionless, just like before.
Not long after, someone stopped in front of the stall, a casual cultivator in the Qi Refining Realm.
He first glanced at the words on the cloth of the stall and the elixir on the cloth, and then glanced at the woman standing in the stall strangely.
Because his face was obscured by long hair, he couldn't see his face clearly. He only saw a pair of beautiful and delicate eyes.
"How to sell it?"
The woman first looked down at Lin Jie and saw that he was still sleeping. She hesitated.
Lin Jie heard the inquiry from the casual cultivator in front of the stall, but he didn't say anything for now. However, after Lin Lanlan didn't speak for a while, he stood up.
"The Awakening Pill contains thirty spiritual stones, and the Spirit Gathering Pill contains forty-five spiritual stones."
This is a relatively fair price. The Qi Refining Realm casual cultivator nodded after hearing this.
"I want to take a look first."
Lin Jie handed him two bottles of elixirs, not afraid that he would run away after taking the elixirs. Since he was a Foundation Establishment monk, how could any Qi practitioner dare to unilaterally snatch the elixirs from a Foundation Establishment monk.
Secondly, there are people from law enforcement peaks sent to maintain order in the market. After all, when doing business, integrity and order come first. Without these, no monk would be willing to trade here.
The other party took it in his hand, opened it, smelled it, and looked through the small hole.
Finally feeling satisfied, I bought two Spirit Gathering Pills and two Soul Awakening Pills.
