chapter 404: chapter 104 ye yun
after the squint-eyed old man left, lin jing went directly to the cage that held the dark-skinned youth.
lin jing looked into the cage, and the dark-skinned youth still turned his head to one side, not looking at lin jing.
lin jing first glanced to the left and right, and seeing that no one was around, he directly reached out with his divine sense and transmitted his voice:
“don’t say anything, and don’t do anything later, i’ll take you out when it’s time.”
the dark-skinned youth, upon hearing lin jing’s voice transmission, was initially stunned, then suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with surprise, and looked towards lin jing.
since his entire being was bound, not only his cultivation, but even his divine sense, had been sealed, and he couldn’t even transmit his voice with divine sense.
he could only widen his eyes in disbelief, looking at lin jing as if to confirm something.
and lin jing simply nodded slightly in response.
after receiving lin jing’s response, the dark-skinned youth, although unable to speak, had an excited look in his eyes, nodding repeatedly.
then, lin jing transmitted his voice again to the dark-skinned youth,
“be careful later, don’t give yourself away.”
after hearing this, the dark-skinned youth blinked and then nodded lightly.
…
…
it wasn’t long before the squint-eyed old man returned.
seeing this, the dark-skinned youth resumed his previous demeanor, turning his head to one side, not looking at both lin jing and the squint-eyed old man.
the squint-eyed old man looked at the dark-skinned youth, saw nothing unusual, then took out a token and a booklet.
after that, the squint-eyed old man handed the booklet to lin jing, and then said:
“senior…”
“this is the auction list you requested.”
lin jing looked at the booklet with some confusion, not expecting it to be an auction list, and this list was not thin at all.
seeing this, the squint-eyed old man hurriedly explained:
“senior…”
“the ‘lots’ at black shark auction house are different from other auction houses; in this auction list, specialized artists have drawn the appearance of the ‘lots’ for the seniors to choose from.”
“each page of this list corresponds to a ‘lot,’ so this auction list is somewhat thicker.”
hearing the squint-eyed old man’s explanation, lin jing had an epiphany and then nodded, casually taking the list.
after handing the auction list to lin jing, the squint-eyed old man held the token, pointed to the dark-skinned youth, and told lin jing:
“this token is used for controlling him, and once senior refines this token, his life will be completely in your hands.”
“if you tell him to go west, he wouldn’t dare go east.”
“if this token is destroyed, the restraints inside him will stop functioning, and that’s when, senior, you should be a bit more cautious.”
no sooner had the squint-eyed old man finished speaking than he saw that the senior across from him seemed somewhat displeased, his complexion also growing darker.
then, lin jing said:
“what?”
“do you think that with my cultivation, i still need to rely on this restraint to control him?”
the squint-eyed old man’s heart skipped a beat, realizing his mistake, and he promptly apologized:
“senior, my apologies…”
“it was my mistake. with senior’s cultivation, even without any restraints, he wouldn’t be able to escape.”
after the squint-eyed old man finished speaking, lin jing’s expression eased significantly.
then, lin jing directly asked:
“is it true that if this token is destroyed, the internal restraints will be completely removed, and there will be no residual effects within his body?”
“you know, i intend to use him in a concoction, and if the restraint you’ve placed causes any accidents with my medicinal primer, leading to the ruin of my batch of elixir, i shall hold you accountable.”
the squint-eyed old man quickly said:
“senior, rest assured…”
“we conduct business with integrity and never leave any trouble inside the ‘merchandise.'”
“before using him for your concoction, senior only needs to destroy this token, and then the restraints in this primer’s body will automatically dissolve without causing any harm.”
“should there be any issue with the restraint from our store, senior can come to us, and we will definitely provide a satisfactory explanation.”
after hearing this, lin jing nodded in satisfaction.
subsequently, lin jing pulled out a bag of spirit stones from his storage bag and passed them over.
“there are a total of three thousand midium grade spirit stones, all here.”
the squint-eyed old man happily received the spirit stones, then opened the bag and counted them.
after a moment, having counted the spirit stones, the squint-eyed old man promptly put them away.
then, he respectfully handed the token to lin jing.
next, lin jing spoke to the squint-eyed old man:
“alright…”
“now you can release him.”
the squint-eyed old man hastily replied:
“of course…”
“please step back, senior.”
after hearing this, lin jing immediately took a step back.
then, the squint-eyed old man took out a token and placed it on the lock of the cage’s door.
right after that.
a formation rose from the bottom of the cage, enveloping the entire cage within, and then the formation patterns started to change, causing the formation to split open in the middle and create an opening.
subsequently, the squint-eyed old man opened the cage and walked in.
after entering, the squint-eyed old man chanted a spell, and the shackles that bound the dark-skinned youth automatically fell off.
even a talisman floated out from behind the dark-skinned youth.
only at this point did the sealed cultivation of the dark-skinned youth begin to recover.
afterward, the squint-eyed old man put away the talisman, and led the dark-skinned youth out of the cage.
once the squint-eyed old man was out, lin jing frowned and asked:
“why is it so troublesome to imprison these people?”
