Chapter 37 - Chapter 37: Chapter 37 Purchasing Talismans, Going to the Black Market (2/2)
Lin Jing replied, “No problem, Brother Wei, you go ahead. The trip to the black market is not urgent; it can happen anytime.”
“No, you’ve misunderstood, ” Wei Zhengqing shook his head and said.
“We still need to go to the black market. After this, I may have to leave, and it might be a long time before I can return.”
“Tonight at Zi Time, go to Shiyu Alley and wait for me there. I will arrive before Zi Time and will take you into the black market with me.”
“You probably don’t know the way to Shiyu Alley, so here, take a look at this map. ”
With those words, Wei Zhengqing produced a map and handed it to Lin Jing.
“Uh… okay.”
Lin Jing was somewhat taken aback. Wei Zhengqing had not hemmed and hawed at all but had directly arranged everything.
“Right, there’s also…”
“This is a Godspeed Talisman and an Invisibility Talisman. It might not be safe going out at night. When you go out, use the talismans and try to avoid attracting other people’s attention.”
After presenting the two talismans, Wei Zhengqing immediately took out a purple talisman.
“A Teleportation Talisman!”
Lin Jing exclaimed in surprise.
“That’s right, it is indeed a Teleportation Talisman.” Wei Zhengqing nodded.
“Take it.”
Wei Zhengqing’s tone was firm and brooked no argument.
“Brother Wei, this…”
This Teleportation Talisman was also a Second Rank talisman, but its talismanic patterns were intricate and difficult to make, which made it quite valuable.
Furthermore, Yuebaolou sold it for 500 Spirit Stones each; Lin Jing had never been willing to buy one, and yet Wei Zhengqing had just given it to him.
Lin Jing never liked owing people favors. The Godspeed Talisman and the Invisibility Talisman were one thing — their value was not high, and he could easily compensate for them. But this Teleportation Talisman…
Lin Jing hesitated.
“Take it.” Wei Zhengqing said again.
“As a friend recognized by me, Wei Zhengqing, you shouldn’t have so many reservations.”
Lin Jing looked up, meeting Wei Zhengqing’s eyes, which were full of resolve, and then he stopped hesitating.
“Alrißht, Brother Wei. If that’s so, then I’ll accept it.”
“Mm…!” Wei Zhengqing nodded.
“This Teleportation Talisman can instantly transport you to any location within a kilometer when you’re in danger.” “It should be enough to escape from danger.”
“Thank you, Brother Wei. I understand,” Lin Jing said.
“Since we’ve agreed on that, I should be going now. Remember to be careful tonight.’
“I understand.”
Afterwards, Wei Zhengqing took his leave.
Once Wei Zhengqing had left, Lin Jing opened the map to memorize the location of Shiyu Alley, then started to cultivate in meditation.
He cultivated until evening, before he finally stopped.
During this time of cultivation, Lin Jing felt his Divine Sense becoming increasingly consolidated, and his control over the Controlling Fire Technique also improved over before.
He believed that it wouldn’t be long before he could break through again.
Looking outside through the window, Lin Jing saw the moon hanging above the treetops and figured it was about time.
After making some simple preparations, Lin Jing left his residence.
However, just after Lin Jing had gone out…
Across in the opposite courtyard, Zhang Lin hurried into the house.
“Big brother… Big brother…”
“He’s left; he’s gone out…”
Zhang Lin was visibly excited, speaking in a hushed tone.
Zhang Sen, who had been meditating, opened his eyes and looked toward Zhang Lin.
“Did he go out alone?”
“Don’t worry, big brother. I saw it clear as day; it was just him alone.”
“Big brother, shall we take action?” Zhang Lin asked.
Zhang Sen narrowed his eyes and said:
“Opportunity knocks but once. Let’s go, we’ll follow him..”
