chapter 400: chapter 100: the trade
however, just when these people were still causing chaos and pressuring lin jing and the other two,
the man in black grew furious. the aura of his golden core peak cultivation burst forth in an instant, pressing down on the crowd as he spoke coldly,
“what, do you really intend to forcefully keep me here?”
“knowing full well that i am about to face the heavenly tribulation, yet you still want me to swear by my soul spirit. do you wish to see me perish during the tribulation?”
as the man in black spoke, his eyes were cold, sweeping across the crowd.
seeing this situation, everyone immediately calmed down.
still, someone was dissatisfied with the man in black and muttered under their breath,
“it’s just a soul spirit oath, what does it matter as long as you don’t reveal it?”
after hearing this, the man in black’s eyes narrowed, and he turned his gaze toward the person who had just spoken.
his violent aura burst out instantly, pressing down on the person who had spoken…
at the same time, he had already summoned a magical treasure flying sword that emitted a dark light, pointing directly at the person who had spoken.
seeing that the man in black wanted to take action, shopkeeper shen quickly stepped in to mediate, reminding,
“fellow daoist, do not be impulsive…”
“this is bihai city, and if a fight really breaks out, i’m afraid none of us will end up well off.”
“as for swearing an oath by your soul spirit, let’s forget about it.”
having said that, he turned to address everyone,
“this fellow daoist is about to undergo his tribulation. before that happens, he cannot be affected in the slightest, let alone swear an oath by his soul spirit.”
“i believe they will certainly not reveal this matter.”
then, shopkeeper shen turned to the man in black and said,
“i trust, fellow daoist, that you will certainly not disclose this matter, right…”
seeing shopkeeper shen speak this way, the man in black finally retracted his violent aura and replied coldly,
“i disdain to stoop to such petty actions…”
shopkeeper shen nodded, not saying anything further, then turned to look at lin jing.
lin jing naturally understood the intention of shopkeeper shen and then said,
“shopkeeper shen, rest assured, if we spoke out, it would only bring us unnecessary trouble. i certainly wouldn’t do such an unwise thing,”
“moreover, we don’t even know the location of the relic. even if we did speak out, i doubt anyone would believe us.”
no sooner had lin jing finished speaking than the young cultivator also spoke up,
“i will do the same, i absolutely won’t reveal it.”
seeing that everyone had said as much,
shopkeeper shen, smiling, said to the three of them,
“alright, i trust you…”
“you may go now.”
afterward, the man in black immediately turned around and left the room.
just then, there was a disturbance in the crowd again, and someone seemed about to say something more but was stopped by a look from shopkeeper shen.
……
and lin jing, after bidding farewell to shopkeeper shen, followed the steps of the man in black and left the place.
after the two had stepped out of the room,
it wasn’t long before the young cultivator caught up with them.
in this manner, the three of them left the shen family shop together.
as soon as they returned to fang market, the young cultivator said to lin jing and the man in black,
“both of you, thank you…”
“without you two, i fear i would have had trouble leaving the shen family shop today.”
at this time, the man in black said,
“those people… there’s something not right about them…”
“you two had better be careful.”
the young cultivator bowed and said to the man in black,
“thank you for the warning, fellow daoist. i will certainly be cautious.”
“fellow daoists, i will take my leave now. goodbye.”
after saying this, the young cultivator left.
once the young cultivator had gone, only lin jing and the man in black were left.
at this moment, the man in black turned his head towards lin jing and saw that he had no intention of leaving.
he thus spoke,
“what? aren’t you leaving as well?”
however, lin jing in turn said to the man in black,
“i’d like to make a trade with you.”
the man in black frowned, looked lin jing up and down, and then asked,
“you…?”
“what trade do you intend to make with me?”
lin jing replied,
“this is not quite the right place.”
“shall we find somewhere suitable to talk?”
at that moment, the two were still standing on the main street of fang market in bihai city. the man in black then looked around…
after a moment,
he nodded and said to lin jing,
“i know a place. follow me…”
and so, the man in black led lin jing around bihai city for quite a while.
it wasn’t until half an hour later that the two found an inn that was still open for business.
the man in black led lin jing directly into the inn.
the innkeeper was not there, but a night-shift worker welcomed them.
the man in black directly rented a room and then led lin jing inside it.
upon entering the room, a formation was immediately activated, enveloping the entire room.
then, the man in black spoke to lin jing,
“don’t worry, it’s safe here.”
“the innkeeper is a nascent soul cultivator, and no one dares to cause trouble here.”
“now, you can speak. what trade do you want to make with me?”
lin jing didn’t dawdle and promptly said,
“i have a medium grade nirvana elixir!”
lin jing’s words took the man in black by surprise. his eyes shone brightly as he stared at lin jing and said,
