Patrol House.
"Senior Brother Lin."
All the people in charge of the sect's industry in Fang City are here. Most of them are over fifty years old, and their cultivation has been stagnant for many years. Unless there is a great opportunity, it is almost impossible to make a breakthrough.
However, this time, these monks looked at Lin Changan with smiles on their faces. They were obviously older, but in the world of immortality, the emphasis was not on seniority, but on strength.
"Everyone, Brother Zhang and the three Junior Brothers Li must have made it clear to you."
I saw Lin Changan looking at everyone with a smile on his face and handing over his hands. The people below nodded in agreement, and the three brothers Zhang Qing and Li on the side also showed smiles.
Among them, the quick-talking Li Jian patted his chest and laughed loudly: "Senior Brother Lin, they are eager to have such a good opportunity to make friends with you."
Although Li Jian spoke quickly, he told the truth, and everyone present was an old fox. None of them were embarrassed at all, but instead had smiles on their faces.
Lin Changan smiled and waved his hands and said: "Thanks to you for your consideration, there are also Brother Zhang and three Senior Brother Li who are willing to provide guarantees."
"Now the Shengxian Tower auction is about to begin. You all know that I am used to spending a lot of money on weekdays, and my hands are somewhat lacking in spiritual stones. But don't worry, I borrowed the spiritual stones from Chang'an today. There is probably no chance of returning them to you in the future."
When Lin Changan said this, not only did everyone not worry, but they all burst into smiles. Among them, Zhang Qing even laughed and said: "Then it will be up to Brother Lin to pay off the bill with the elixir, haha!"
Instantly, there was a burst of laughter. Now that they are here, they naturally understand Lin Changan's idea of borrowing the spirit stone. No one is a fool.
They are all from the same sect, and this is not done in private. Not only are they not afraid of not paying it back, they also hope that Lin Changan will not return the spiritual stone and use the elixir to pay off the debt.
"Senior Brother Lin, what you are saying is a joke. Not only within the sect, but also in the entire city, who doesn't know that Senior Brother Lin's elixir is this!" A middle-aged monk gestured with his thumb in admiration. , looking at Lin Changan even more flatteringly.
When Lin Changan saw this, he waved his hands repeatedly, but he still couldn't conceal his youthful arrogance.
"Don't worry, everyone, Chang'an will remember today's kindness in his heart. You can come to me when you prepare the spiritual herbs in the future."
Lin Changan told everyone clearly that he was using his skills to pay off debts, but everyone was happy to hear it.
Not only is good quality elixir hard to find, but more importantly, Lin Changan is already at the ninth level of Qi training at his age. This thigh is worthy of their embrace. Owing this spiritual stone is a favor that will last forever. , all of them are human beings.
"Senior Brother Lin, our Lao Tian family has a lot of kids, and we usually have a lot of cultivation resources. We can only use the bottom of the box of these 120 spirit stones."
I saw a middle-aged monk in his fifties. Although he looked ashamed, he could not hide the pride on his face.
The difference between how many spirit stones you have and how many spirit stones you have saved is huge.
The few spiritual stones a month earned by skilled monks are enough to make ends meet just for daily cultivation, purchasing spiritual meat, spiritual rice, eating, drinking, and eating. Most of them can only tighten their belts, leaving almost no excess.
After all, if you don’t practice enough, how can you have any surplus? Especially young monks. The younger they are, the more they have to practice quickly. The older ones are better off. When their cultivation stagnates, they will start to accumulate, but most of them to future generations.
This is not to mention that monks must have self-defense talismans when going out, magical weapons and the like.
Therefore, most monks have almost no savings, and there is a saying in the world of immortal cultivation that you don't know who will benefit from the spiritual stones you save.
Once others know that you have inventory, there will be many incidents of murder and robbery, so monks are generally poor.
Therefore, this man borrowed hundreds of spirit stones at once. It cannot be said that it was too much, but it was not too little for him.
After Lin Changan saw this, he held his hands with a smile on his face and said, "Thank you, Fellow Taoist Tian."
Then Lin Changan turned his head, smiled at Zhang Qing or the three Li brothers, and said, "I'll trouble you four to be witnesses."
Under the witness of everyone, Lin Changan directly took out the contract on the side and wanted to leave his spiritual mark. After seeing this, Lao Tian waved his hands with a smile on his face and said: "Senior Brother Lin, you are too unreasonable."
However, Lin Changan was very determined to sign the contract.
"This is a rule. If you don't let me sign it, I won't dare take this spiritual stone."
After Lin Changan agreed to keep the contract to borrow the spirit stone, everyone smiled and expressed their appreciation that he had rules.
"Senior Brother Lin, I can take out one hundred and fifty spirit stones."
"One hundred and thirty bucks for me."
After some calculations, the monks in charge first kept their own expenses, and then lent out as many spiritual stones as possible. Under the witness of Zhang Qing and others, Lin Changan even signed contracts one after another.
Among them, Li Jian curled his lips and said with envy: "You guys are really profitable. It's enough for Senior Brother Lin to refine a few level-breaking pills."
"That's right, Senior Brother Lin gave us a chance this time."
They lent the spirit stone to Lin Changan, and each said yes gratefully. I have to say that this scene was a bit funny, but it was true.
And Lin Changan also smiled with a smile on his face and said: "Don't worry, everyone, I also want to buy the thing I like at the auction this time."
After everyone exchanged greetings and left, when only a few of them were left, Li Jian took out a heavy bag of spirit stones with a smile on his face.
"Senior Brother Lin, these are the spiritual stones that we recently collected from the Eternal Life Treasury, and some of them were borrowed by the junior brothers in the sect."
Lin Changan not only set his sights on the major leaders, but also on the ordinary sect monks in Fang City. However, it was the three Li brothers who came forward. After all, they had grown up and were more familiar with them.
After seeing the spirit stone that Li Jian took out, Lin Changan did not take it. Instead, he squinted at Li Jian. The elder brother Li Wei couldn't help laughing at this scene.
"Senior Brother Lin, you don't have to worry about this, it's really necessary!"
But under Lin Changan's direct gaze, the final boss Li Wei couldn't help but give a thumbs up, with admiration on his face, and then took out an account book from the storage bag.
"These are the catalogs of spiritual stones lent by the junior brothers in the sect. Although each person has only seven or eight spiritual stones for more, and three or four less spiritual stones for each person, it cannot support the large number of people."
After getting the accounts, Lin Changan took the bag of spirit stones with a smile and cursed at the same time: "I am the deacon of the sect and the chief alchemist. How can I deceive my fellow disciples? You are not allowed to leave any of these account books behind." , must remember everything clearly.”
"Yes." Li Wei shook his head with a wry smile, but he was still full of admiration for Lin Changan's serious attitude.
Lin Changan checked it carefully in front of the four of them, and even finally handed it over to Li Wei with a contract for borrowing spiritual stones.
"Senior Brother Lin, can we brothers still believe you?" Li Wei waved his hand to refuse, but Lin Changan's unyielding look in his eyes made him accept the spiritual contract with a wry smile.
Then Zhang Qing also smiled and waved his hands, and a heavy bag of spiritual stones and account books floated over.
"Brother Lin, this belongs to the alchemy room and the miners below. You can take a look at the account books."
The disciples of the same sect were fine with what the three Li brothers did, but with Zhang Qing's actions, Lin Changan knew with his eyes closed that the people below must be unwilling, but there was nothing they could do about it.
This is just like following the etiquette. You, Lin Changan, are awesome, but the gap is too big and you can't reach it at all. When the gap is too big, it's not a favor.
However, Zhang Qing earned favors for himself by collecting spiritual stones from his subordinates.
"Brother Lin, I have to say that your method is really amazing. This is the first time I've seen you raise spiritual stones in so many years."
At this time, Zhang Qing couldn't help but show admiration. In just three days, Lin Changan had raised so many spiritual stones, which was simply outrageous.
When Lin Changan saw this, he smiled and shook his head, "I have no choice now. All my daily spiritual stone resources are spent on cultivation. How can I have any extra spiritual stones to go to the auction?"
Every time we come to this market meeting, which monk doesn't want to buy or exchange for his favorite cultivation items? It's too difficult to lend you spiritual stones at this juncture.
But Lin Changan had a clever move. He first approached these older people in charge and offered them the temptation of elixirs. After all, for their descendants, precious elixirs were also urgently needed resources, so they were willing to be a favor.
The three Li brothers borrowed spiritual stones from their fellow disciples. Most of these people were disciples in the early stages of Qi training. The few spiritual stones they had every month were not enough for them to practice on their own.
But Lin Changan's promise was also very simple. After the auction, there was still some time before the Fangshi Conference. He would first refine a furnace of level-breaking pills, which would be enough to pay off all their debts.
While Zhang Qing went to borrow spiritual stones from the hard-working monks who were mining, most of the people below probably gave up hope.
After summing up, Lin Changan looked at the pile of spirit stones and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, "By the way, Brother Zhang, who else did you help contact?"
After hearing this, Zhang Qing couldn't help but shook his head and said: "Other forces, only three deacons are willing to lend you spirit stones to Senior Brother Lin, but the promise is very simple. After the Fangshi Conference is over, you must help them open a furnace within six months." Create a level-breaking elixir."
"As for everyone else, they all want to buy their favorite cultivation items at the Fangshi Conference."
Lin Changan had long been prepared to ask other forces to borrow spirit stones, but after hearing that only three people were willing to lend him, he couldn't help but waved his hands and said: "Okay, you can go over and invite these three people in person later, and tell them that I am Lin Chang'an." Chang'an is willing to sign the contract in the name of the sect."
At this time, Lin Changan couldn't help but feel regretful. It's a pity. What a good opportunity, I'm afraid I won't have the chance in the future.
After the auction, when the old man asks him to open the second furnace, it is almost inevitable and he will definitely break up. Now he can borrow as much as he can. As for the fear of not being able to pay, what does this have to do with him? ?
He borrowed it in the name of Elder Lu's sect. After the turmoil, as long as you are still alive, you can go to Elder Lu and ask for it.
He borrowed it based on his ability, why should he pay it back?
Lin Changan then signed a contract with Zhang Qing and three deacons from other forces with a smile on his face, which was considered a successful completion of the plan.
…
Two days later.
"Brother Zhang, the recent Fangshi Conference should let everyone below have a good rest. After all, it only happens once every fifteen years."
After everything was settled, Lin Changan, who had a huge sum of money and a smile on his face, and Zhang Qing came to the place where they first came to Fangshi, where the alchemy room, talismans, etc. were all together in the building.
Looking at the familiar scenes in front of him, Lin Changan was filled with emotion. He was also one of such busy people when he first came here. Now, just ten years later, he has transformed into a talkative person here.
After listening to Lin Changan's words, Zhang Qing smiled knowingly, "Brother Lin, you are still as soft-hearted as ever."
"But Brother Lin, you are right. No matter how hard these people push, they can't produce much in the past few days. Moreover, their minds are all focused on the city meeting. How can they think about doing anything in the past few days? The rate of making elixirs and drawing talismans is even more pitiful."
When he said this, Zhang Qing couldn't help but smile and pointed at the two junior brothers who were responsible for supervising this place, waving his hands and saying: "Have you heard that? Senior Brother Lin is soft-hearted and specially let you have a day off, but you guys, why are there so few people these days? So much."
The two monks in charge of supervision were still smiling when they heard the break, but the next moment Zhang Qing reprimanded them, their faces were filled with embarrassment.
Seeing this scene, Lin Changan smiled and cursed: "Okay, Brother Zhang, don't talk about them anymore. Even if it were us, we wouldn't be in the mood to be here now. Naturally, we would go to Fang City for sex."
Nowadays, the relationship between the two parties is no longer what it used to be, and Zhang Qing naturally understands that the opportunity to be a good person is naturally reserved for Lin Changan, and he can only be a foil and be the evil person.
As Lin Changan finished speaking, Zhang Qing suddenly smiled, pointed at the others and cursed with a smile: "Did you all hear that? Tomorrow is the auction meeting. Brother Lin is soft-hearted and specially gave you a day off. Now you can inform me. I will wait for you later." I'm going to activate the formation to seal this place, and if I leave then, I won't be able to leave."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Lin."
After hearing that they could rest, not to mention the many skilled monks being exploited here, even the supervising monks all had excited smiles on their faces.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Lin." After hearing that they could rest for a day, they all shouted gratefully to Lin Chang'an.
A moment later, after a group of excited figures left the building, only Lin Changan and Zhang Qing were left.
When he saw that there were no outsiders, the smile on Zhang Qing's face gradually disappeared, revealing a look of anxiety and worry.
"Brother Lin, you are so courageous. My legs are a little weak now."
After knowing what Lin Changan was going to do next, Zhang Qingzhen's legs were trembling, and there was even more fear on his face.
If something really happened, let alone selling him, even grinding his bones to ashes wouldn't be enough to satisfy his hatred.
However, after seeing Zhang Qing's cowardly appearance, Lin Changan smiled angrily, "Brother Zhang, when will you see me doing something I'm not sure about."
Zhang Qing, who was usually very convinced of Lin Changan, this time, after seeing Lin Changan's actions, his face turned green, his eyes widened, and his lips were trembling.
"That's enough...that's enough. I really can't bear to go on anymore, Brother Lin, Senior Brother Lin! Can I call you dad? My dear dad, you must be too courageous."
Seeing that Lin Changan was not done yet, and even took out a few storage bags from his boots, his face lost all color.
