chapter 398: chapter 98 shopkeeper shen’s ‘good deed
“`
having said that, lin jing didn’t waste any time and directly took out two pure jade boxes from his storage bag.
inside the pure jade boxes, two pure elixirs shone with a captivating light.
even before they were opened, everyone could already see that these were indeed pure primordial growth elixirs.
……
upon seeing the pure primordial growth elixirs, there were immediately those who expressed their regret:
“pure primordial growth elixirs, they’d be so good for enhancing one’s own strength…”
however, someone immediately voiced their opinion:
“i think trading the primordial growth elixirs for the soaring ancient sword would be more worthwhile…”
“after all, having a good magical treasure can also significantly increase one’s combat power.”
moreover, there were others who spoke up:
“the soaring ancient sword is indeed not bad, exchanging it for two pure primordial growth elixirs is appropriate, it’s just a matter of different needs…”
…
…
the crowd below was buzzing with discussion, but not a single person mentioned the thousand spirit divine leaf remnant root.
although the thousand spirit divine leaf is a fourth rank spirit plant, the one at hand was only its rhizome, and what’s more, it was an incomplete remnant root.
even if one had a high-level spirit field, it wouldn’t be possible to cultivate.
in the eyes of others, this remnant root wasn’t of much value; it was almost fitting to give it away as an extra…
however.
in lin jing’s eyes, that thousand spirit divine leaf remnant root was much more precious than the soaring ancient sword.
even though it was a remnant root, in lin jing’s eyes, its value was not much different from a complete rhizome.
after all, his system space had a spiritual plant restoration function; with just the expenditure of some harvest points, he could completely repair the rhizome.
in time, he could plant this spirit plant himself, and then he would own a complete thousand spirit divine leaf.
……
next.
the young cultivator descended from the stage and came in front of lin jing.
subsequently, both parties examined the items they were about to trade in detail, and once both had finished their inspections and confirmed everything was correct,
they exchanged their items, completing the deal.
after the two had completed their deal, another two individuals went up; the two cultivators showcased their treasures for trade.
both of these individuals were lucky and completed their deals, acquiring the things they desired.
once their transactions were done, only lin jing was left who hadn’t gone up.
when the crowd looked towards lin jing, he declined to go on stage using the fact that he had already completed his trade as a reason.
the crowd didn’t say anything more.
……
soon after.
the shopkeeper took to the stage and announced the successful conclusion of the trade meet.
as the trade meeting came to an end and the crowd began to stir, preparing to leave,
the shopkeeper called out to them at that moment.
“everyone, do not be hasty, please wait for a moment…”
the crowd looked up, all eyeing the shopkeeper with curiosity.
at this time, some cultivators who were familiar with the shopkeeper asked:
“shopkeeper shen, is there something else?”
the shopkeeper then spoke:
“indeed, there is one more matter i would like to discuss with all the fellow cultivators.”
“you can rest assured, fellow cultivators, it is a good thing…”
upon hearing it was a good thing, some cultivators immediately became interested.
the shopkeeper then directly said:
“fellow cultivators, do not rush to leave; please hear what shen has to say. if shen’s good news interests you, then let us remain here to discuss it together.”
“if you genuinely have no interest, then you may leave at that time…”
after the shopkeeper finished speaking, even those who were not very interested halted their departure and sat back down, waiting quietly for the shopkeeper to continue.
by this time, a number of cultivators familiar with the shopkeeper also spoke up:
“shopkeeper shen, you’re the one who said this…”
“shopkeeper shen, with you mentioning it like that, now i’m interested and want to see what this good thing really is.”
“shopkeeper shen, don’t keep us in suspense, just say it directly…”
…
…
and the shopkeeper responded to several people with a smile.
seeing this situation, lin jing turned his head to look at the black-robed cultivator; he also did not appear to have any intention of leaving.
thus, lin jing too settled back into his seat, no longer in a hurry to depart.
once everyone had taken their seats again, the shopkeeper spoke:
“everyone…”
“i wonder, have any of you heard of li mingwu?”
upon hearing the shopkeeper’s words, a shiver went through lin jing’s heart.
he immediately thought:
“could it be that the shopkeeper’s news has something to do with li mingwu?”
“but wasn’t li mingwu said to have died hundreds of years ago?”
on the surface, however, lin jing showed no reaction.
at that moment, a cultivator raised a question:
“li mingwu?”
“is it li mingwu, the previous island master of yue tian island?”
“but wasn’t he said to have died centuries ago?”
“could it be that he is not dead and is still alive?”
lin jing had the same doubts.
and it wasn’t just lin jing alone.
being seated at the back corner made it easy for lin jing to observe the actions of the cultivators in front.
as soon as that cultivator suggested that li mingwu might still be alive…
many people in the audience straightened up unconsciously, all turning their attention to the shopkeeper on the stage.
