Chapter 433 - Chapter 433: Chapter 133 The Trade Fair on Xian Yu Island (2/2)

“alas…”

“forget it, when the time comes, we’ll see…”

lin jing looked at zhang jian and could only shake his head with a wry smile.

then, lin jing spoke up again, asking zhang jian:

“brother zhang…”

“what brings you here this time?”

upon hearing lin jing’s question, zhang jian then began to speak:

“brother lin, it’s like this.”

“a daoist friend i met on xian yu island told me that in a few days, there will be a trade meeting held on the island.”

“i want you to join me.”

lin jing was taken aback, then asked:

“what kind of trade meeting?”

zhang jian explained:

“it’s an internal trade meeting of the thousand islands domain.”

“reportedly, several cultivators have discovered a relic, and they acquired quite a few treasures while adventuring through it. thus, they took the lead in organizing this trade meeting.”

“brother lin, didn’t you mention you were lacking high-grade spirit plants? it’s said that they have some in their possession.”

“maybe you’ll find just what you need.”

after listening, lin jing furrowed his brows in thought for a moment, then said:

“is this information reliable?”

zhang jian assured:

“of course…”

“now, many people are aware of this trade meeting, it’s just that you, brother lin, seldom socialize, which is why you haven’t heard about it.”

“moreover, if you have anything you wish to sell, you can also exchange it for what you want at this trade meeting.”

upon hearing this, lin jing felt a sense of familiarity.

so, lin jing continued to inquire:

“who is organizing this trade meeting, what’s his surname?”

zhang jian pondered for a moment, then replied:

“i think his surname is bai…”

“it’s said that this cultivator bai, not long ago, along with a few friends, unintentionally discovered this relic while hunting demonic beasts at the bottom of the sea, when they were chasing a deep sea fierce dragon.”

“after discovering the relic, they entered and explored it, and each of them made quite a harvest.”

“however, a large part of the treasures they obtained are currently of no use to them, hence they organized this trade event.”

hearing this, lin jing finally relaxed a little.

perhaps he was overthinking it. lin jing had actually thought of shopkeeper shen…

“so, do you want to go have a look?” zhang jian asked at that time.

lin jing nodded, replying:

“okay…”

“let’s go have a look then. after all, there’s no harm in just looking…”

zhang jian then added:

“brother lin, don’t forget to bring plenty of spirit stones or rare elixir medicines with you before heading to the trade meeting.”

“you might encounter high-grade spirit plants, and you can secure them on the spot.”

lin jing nodded and said with a smile:

“of course, if i really come across rare spirit plants, i definitely won’t let them slip away.”

after speaking, lin jing questioned zhang jian again:

“by the way…”

“when does that trade meeting you mentioned start?”

zhang jian replied:

“in half a month. when the time comes, i’ll come to find you, and we’ll go there together.”

lin jing nodded, saying:

“alright…”

zhang jian also responded:

“since we’ve settled this matter, i’ll head back now. when it’s about time, i’ll come to find you.”

however, lin jing called out to zhang jian, stopping him:

“brother zhang, don’t rush. i have another favor to ask of you…”

zhang jian turned his head and replied:

“what is it?”

but judging by zhang jian’s reaction, he seemed somewhat wary of lin jing.

meanwhile, lin jing approached with a grin and clasped zhang jian’s shoulder, saying:

“last time, didn’t you set up a large spirit gathering array in the spirit field on the island for me?”

“now, i feel that the spirit gathering array isn’t powerful enough and i want to upgrade it…”

hearing this, zhang jian leaped back like a startled rabbit, exclaiming:

“brother lin…”

“are you joking…”

“installing that large spirit gathering array last time almost killed me, and it also cost quite a bit in materials.”

“you should know, that nearly amounted to half of my entire fortune.”

“and what about the compensation you mentioned? i haven’t seen even a bit of it…”

“if you ask for another one, i might end up putting myself into the deal.”

lin jing just chuckled and replied:

“hehe…”

“i just forgot all about it, being so busy with alchemy.”

“don’t you know me, am i the stingy type?”

“this time you don’t need to supply the materials, i’ve already had yue qi prepare them.”

“and you want compensation, right…”

“how about this, you also know, i’m gathering materials to concoct the nirvana elixir; if you help me collect two of them, i will give you one of the nirvana elixirs i produce, how’s that?”

hearing lin jing’s proposal, zhang jian immediately perked up.

he came closer to lin jing once more and asked:

“are you serious about that?”

lin jing affirmed:

“certainly…”

“besides, it’s not just you who needs the nirvana elixir, i also need it to advance to the nascent soul stage.”

zhang jian, upon hearing this, nodded then said:

“true…”

“then it’s settled, brother lin…”

“i’ll obtain one or two types of the required materials for you, and in return, you give me one nirvana elixir.”

lin jing nodded, then said:

“in that case…”

“what about the spirit gathering array?”

without waiting for lin jing to finish, zhang jian hastily added:

“rest assured, brother lin…”

“it’s just a mere spirit gathering array, leave it to me…”
