Chapter 714 (2/2)

These fogs are usually not large, but remember, if you encounter them, you must avoid them.”

“Those gray fogs, they must have some connection with the Soul Tomb,” someone had once tried to pass through the gray fog, but in the end, he turned into a walking corpse, appearing in the Soul Tomb.”

Lin Jing nodded and said,

“Hmm, I’ll be careful.”

Changyun Yuanlei then continued to speak to Lin Jing,

“Big brother!”

“On this Lost Soul Island, if you want to rest, just find an uninhabited place and directly dig out a cave dwelling.

That’s all.”

“Of course, there are also other people’s cave dwellings.

Either they met with accidents or they have left and never returned.

Those people’s cave dwellings can be directly moved into as well.”

“For now, let’s go to the marketplace first to get an understanding of the current situation here.

What do you think, big brother?”

Lin Jing nodded and said,

“Sure!”

…

…

Afterwards.

Lin Jing followed Changyun Yuanlei, and the two of them walked toward the marketplace in the center of Lost Soul Island.

The marketplace of Lost Soul Island was actually set up in a clearing at the center of the island, quite simple indeed.

No one managed the marketplace, but no one caused trouble either.

After entering the marketplace, it was like walking onto the streets of Fang Market, with all sorts of cultivators just setting up their spaces right by the roadside, laying a barrier of some sort beneath them, and then placing their goods for sale right there and then.

Of course.

It wasn’t all like that.

At the end of the marketplace, there was a two-story shop.

In front of the shop, a flag for wine hung high.

It read: Drunken Soul Tavern.

Even though the tavern was at the very end of the marketplace, Lin Jing saw it the moment he entered, at first glance.

He just didn’t expect that Lost Soul Island would even have a tavern.

While Lin Jing was looking at the Drunken Soul Tavern, Changyun Yuanlei also turned his gaze toward it.

But unlike Lin Jing, he clenched his teeth with a creaking sound, looking very resentful.

Lin Jing felt that something was off and looked at Changyun Yuanlei, asking in confusion,

“What’s wrong with you?”

“Scammer!” Changyun Yuanlei spat out hatefully.

“When I first arrived, I was cheated out of a hundred thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones by that tavern’s shopkeeper.”

“To run into him right as I entered, I must have really bad luck for eight lifetimes.”

Lin Jing was momentarily speechless.

It seemed that Changyun Yuanlei held deep grudges against that tavern owner.

A hundred thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones was definitely not a small amount.

You should know, Lin Jing himself only had a little over three hundred thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones on hand.

And.

Most of that was from looting enemies.

I didn’t expect Changyun Yuanlei to be scammed out of a hundred thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones right after coming here; I don’t know if I should call him naive.

Or just say that he comes from rich stock.

After all, as the son of the Changyun Clan, his assets certainly can’t be compared to Lin Jing’s.

But as for how he got cheated, Lin Jing was quite interested.

So.

Lin Jing asked,

“What happened?”

“Tell me about it.”

Changyun Yuanlei nodded and began to recount,

“The reason I was cheated was actually because he claimed that his Drunken Soul Wine could make even Cultivators of the Transcendance Tribulation Stage drunk, and it could even increase one’s Soul Spirit strength…”

As Cultivators practice, with the increase in their Cultivation, their Soul Spirit strength continuously grows, and aside from some extremely special Spiritual Wines,

ordinary alcoholic drinks, no matter how much one consumes, could not intoxicate a Cultivator.

The other claim, to increase the strength of the Soul Spirit, seemed even more far-fetched.

Lin Jing, looking at Changyun Yuanlei, asked doubtfully,

“Did he sell you fake wine?”

Changyun Yuanlei shook his head and said,

“No!”

“His wine is real, and it really can increase the strength of the Soul Spirit, even though the effect is minuscule.”

“Exactly what kind of wine can increase Soul Spirit strength?” Lin Jing asked, surprised.

He had indeed never heard of such wine that could increase Soul Spirit strength before.

Changyun Yuanlei then spoke,

“He added Jade Soul Algae to the wine; that’s why it has the effect of enhancing the Soul Spirit strength.

It was because of the Jade Soul Algae that I fell for his trap…”
