chapter 440: chapter 138: a sudden change, a conspiracy emerges

lin jing remained calm and collected, directly throwing out a statement:

“then do you still want the nirvana elixir or not?”

this line was a massive strike, making zhang jian immediately cease his aggressive posturing. he hastily followed up with an ingratiating smile:

“heh heh…”

“i was just kidding just now. don’t worry, once i advance to a fifth-rank alchemist, i will definitely set up a few formations for brother lin first.”

after hearing this, lin jing then nodded his head in satisfaction.

zhang jian then spoke up, once again addressing lin jing:

“brother lin…”

“you stay here at this trade conference, and i’ll go get that formation manual. i’ll be right back.”

“it won’t take long, just wait for me…”

lin jing nodded and said:

“alright, go ahead…”

then, zhang jian directly pulled along the blue-robed cultivator and said:

“let’s go…”

“together.”

the blue-robed cultivator asked in surprise:

“ah…”

“i’m going too?”

“don’t you know where old man liu is?”

zhang jian replied:

“of course i have to bring you with me…”

“you know better than anyone how much old man liu loves to trick people. i’m afraid he might raise the price at the last minute, and by bringing you along, you can help witness it.”

upon hearing this, the blue-robed cultivator slightly nodded:

“old man liu, that guy, truly is somewhat underhanded, loves to rip off those he’s familiar with…”

“alright then…”

“i’ll accompany you on this trip.”

zhang jian said with a smile:

“that’s more like it…”

“having you as a witness, if he dares to call out absurd prices to me, i’ll turn his little stand upside down…”

after finishing.

zhang jian said goodbye to lin jing, then left the place together with the blue-robed cultivator.

after zhang jian had departed, lin jing was left there by himself.

however, the mountaintop was still bustling with activity.

quite over a hundred golden core cultivators were present, most of them from the thousand islands domain, and others came from different places, hearing the news of the golden core.

they had come early to this place to participate in the trade conference.

some time later, as the time for the start of the trade conference was almost upon them,

the cultivators who came for the trade conference had mostly all arrived.

seeing that it was about time, the group of cultivators at the very front of the square began to move.

among them, a man dressed in white spoke up:

“everyone…”

“please quiet down for a moment and listen to me carefully.”

this voice, carrying the overwhelming force of a golden core peak cultivation, quickly spread throughout the venue.

the numerous golden core cultivators at the site had also quieted down at this time, paying attention to the man in white.

seeing that everyone had quieted down, the man in white continued:

“this trade conference has been jointly initiated by a few of us brothers, with the purpose of making it more convenient for everyone to exchange for the cultivation resources they need.”
