Wu Dong: I, practicing inwardly, crying for Lin Dong

Chapter 20: Trading Spiritual Medicines



Chapter 20:

With so many martial arts to practice, Lin Yun lives a fulfilling and satisfying life every day.

Due to his regular exchanges of martial arts with Lin Dong and Lin Xia, and his occasional hunting in the forest, Lin Yun completed many tasks, and the pills and food were enough for his daily practice.

Making progress every day.

Because he wanted to obtain intermediate boxing talent and improve his combat power, Lin Yun deliberately improved his boxing proficiency in the following time.

In a blink of an eye, more than a month has passed!

[Task: Practice Tongbeiquan to the point where your skills are close to the Tao. Reward: Boxing talent (beginner +3). Completed, do you want to claim it?]

[Task: Practice the Falling Rock Fist to a level close to the Tao. Reward: Fist talent (primary +3). Completed, do you want to claim it?]

"Phew, it's finally done, collect it!"

Lin Yun let out a refreshing breath.

The next second, the wonderful energy merged into his body, especially his arms. He could clearly feel an extra warm energy, which was itchy and magical.

[Boxing talent (primary +10) - (intermediate). ]

Finally got the first intermediate talent.

The two first-grade boxing techniques have also been upgraded to the maximum level. Now when Lin Yun uses the Falling Rock Fist and the Tongbei Fist, the attack power is even stronger than the perfect Zhenshan Fist, and the effect is comparable to that of the fourth- grade martial arts.

Moreover, he can use these two boxing techniques at will, and with one strike, he can unleash the strongest power of his boxing techniques.

[Task: Practice Zhenshan Fist 1000 times (76/660). Reward: Zhenshan Fist perfect proficiency +1.]

Looking at the boxing task again, the number of times has indeed been reduced. It originally required 1,000 times, but now it only requires 660 times.

This made Lin Yun look forward to advanced talents again.

When his talents are maxed out, he will be able to learn the corresponding martial arts at a glance and understand them as soon as he studies them.

In addition to continuous breakthroughs in martial arts, Lin Yun also reached the peak of the eighth level of body tempering, only a step away from the ninth level.

However, Lin Yun's medicine pills had been almost used up.

On this day, when it was time to discuss and exchange ideas with Lin Dong and Lin Xia, he tried to create a task again, but was unable to succeed.

It seems that this unchanging communication activity cannot continuously complete the tasks.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

This instantly lowered Lin Yun's expectations for the exchange activities.

However, after more than two months of frequent communication, Lin Dong and Lin Xia have reached a bottleneck in their martial arts. Lin Yun has told them everything he should say and teach without reservation, and the rest they can only figure out on their own.

Lin Yun suggested that the focus of communication should be shifted to hunting.

You can still create tasks for hunting monsters.

Lin Xia and the other two also readily agreed.

Actual combat is of greater help to them.

After that, they went into the back mountain regularly.

With Chi Ling's talent for finding medicine, Lin Yun acted alone and went deep into the back mountain on the pretext of searching for monsters.

The deep back mountains are sparsely populated and contain many magical medicines.

Lin Yun always gains something every time, ranging from first to fourth grade.

Most of them are of the first and second grades.

Only occasionally can you get third or fourth grade.

As for the fifth grade, I have never encountered it before. It seems to be very rare.

The fifth-grade elixir is of great help to those who are at the Earth Origin Realm or even the Heaven Origin Realm.

No matter how many spiritual medicines below the third grade there are, they will be of limited help to Lin Yun.

"Looking for spiritual medicine is still not as fast as completing the mission." Lin Yun sighed secretly.

It's so great to complete tasks, and the system is very generous. As long as you successfully complete a task, you will basically be rewarded with a bottle of pills.

As for searching for spiritual herbs, you may wander around in the woods all day without necessarily encountering a third-grade spiritual herb.

What a waste of time.

It would be better to practice new martial arts and gain more rewards by increasing your proficiency. That way, you can kill two birds with one stone and improve your martial arts attainments.

Of course, it may also be that the mountain behind the Lin family is too barren.

But no matter what, after trying once or twice without much success, Lin Yun was not prepared to spend too much time looking for elixirs. He would just explore appropriately during the hunting process, and if he found anything, it would be the icing on the cake. After more than two months of getting along, the relationship between the four has become very close.

Especially Lin Yun and Qingtan.

During this period, Lin Yun helped Qingtan resolve three attacks of cold.

After returning from hunting, the four of them would gather in Lin Yun's yard for dinner

and snacks.

"Don't you feel tired, annoyed, or bored from practicing every day?"

When they were almost done eating, Qingtan suddenly suggested, "How about going out

for a walk?"

"It's the end of the month these days, and I heard that the trading market in Qingyang Town is very lively. How about we go and have a look?"

Her clear eyes looked at Lin Yun and the other two expectantly.

Qingtan has wanted to go out for a walk for a long time, but she doesn't want to go alone.

It is more fun to go shopping with someone you like.

She did not have strong self-discipline in cultivation. If it were not for the supervision of Lin Dong and Lin Yun, and the good cultivation atmosphere created by the four of them, she

would have given up long ago.

"The Trading House?"

Lin Xia's eyes lit up immediately, and she said faintly, "I haven't been there for a long time. I haven't bought new clothes for more than two months since I started practicing with

you two guys."

"It just so happens that we have had a lot of hunting results recently and have saved up a lot of gold and silver. It's time to spend it."

The prey they brought back from hunting were traded to the family, and they did save a

small fortune.

Lin Dong was also startled and started to think.

There are a lot of good things at the trade fair, and there should be quite a few elixirs.

He has a stone talisman that can be used to extract elixirs from spiritual herbs. If he can

buy spiritual herbs, it can speed up his cultivation.

"I want to go and see too, Brother Lin Yun, what about you?" Lin Dong looked at Lin Yun.

Qingtan and Linxia also looked over expectantly.

Lin Yun is the most homebody among them. Except for the time when they exchange martial arts together, Lin Yun practices alone in the yard all the time. His perseverance and self-discipline make the three of them admire him, but also call him abnormal and crazy.

"Sure, I haven't been out for a long time." Lin Yun agreed readily.

During this period, life has become more and more peaceful. Whether it is exchanging martial arts or hunting in the mountains, there are fewer and fewer tasks and the rewards are becoming more and more average.

It's time to get out and about, add a little excitement to your life, and get more tasks

done.

Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and wherever there are rivers and lakes, there will be conflicts and disputes.

Moreover, with the trouble-making protagonist and two beautiful girls of different sizes who have their own eye-catching attributes following him, trouble is bound to be inevitable.

"Great, yeah!"

After getting the consent of the three people, Qingtan jumped up happily, and her eyes suddenly became like crescent moons, so sweet that it was intoxicating.

The next day, the four of them dressed up carefully and went to visit the fair together.

This kind of fair was jointly held by several major merchants in Qingyang Town. All kinds of

things were sold, so it was very popular.

However, this also led to the handover of many forces, and the situation became

complicated.

When we entered the meeting place, there were so many people that it soon became crowded and sweaty, but girls seemed to be born to like this kind of bustling street market.

Lin Xia and Qingtan were in extremely high spirits, especially Qingtan. Her delicate little face turned red with excitement, which was so adorable. Her clear and sweet laughter attracted many people's attention. After seeing the girl with picturesque eyebrows and snow- white skin, there was a hint of surprise in their eyes.

They are selling well in various stores.

During this period, Qingtan and Linxia also bought a lot of things for Lin Yun, such as

clothes, bedding, room accessories and the like.

The two girls were very attentive. They had been to Lin Yun's house before and knew what

Lin Yun usually lacked, so they took this opportunity to buy it for him.

The four of them soon arrived at a magnificent pavilion at the end of the street. This was considered a very high-end place in the trading fair, and here, the Lei and Xie families, the Kuang Dao Martial Arts School and even the Lin family all had shops.

This pavilion is big enough for them to visit for a long time. However, Lin Yun and Lin Dong had no desire to shop, their minds were elsewhere.

"I'll go over there and take a look. I'll come back to find you guys later." Lin Dong made

up an excuse and slipped into the crowd.

He prepared the Stone Talisman Spiritual Liquid and planned to sell it to buy higher- grade spiritual medicines.

"You two go in and hang out. I'll be waiting for you outside."

Lin Yun also didn't plan to go with the two girls, he also wanted to buy some elixirs.

In the interview, there are also some underground exchanges that specialize in trading

items of unknown and unexplained origin.

There are many such underground exchanges.

Lin Yun chose the opposite direction of Lin Dong, put on the black robe that he had prepared long ago, and then chose a trading place with a relatively hidden location.

Before entering the exchange, Lin Yun also tried to establish tasks. [Task: Complete an underground transaction. Reward: Intermediate Qiankun Bag.]

"Another Qiankun bag, that's great." Lin Yun was slightly surprised. The low-level

Qiankun bag he had obtained before had too small a space and couldn't hold too many things. Intermediate Qiankun Bag, it comes just in time.

After entering the exchange, someone came to lead the way and asked Lin Yun what items

he wanted to trade.

This time, Lin Yun prepared a lot of pills, all of which were first- and second-grade spiritual medicines that he had found. The pills refined from them had little effect on him.

However, these pills have a very good effect on warriors below the sixth level of body

tempering.

Arriving at a room, Lin Yun first took out two bottles of pills, both of which were first grade, with ten pills in each bottle.

The exchange has dedicated treasure appraisers.

"These pills are very effective for those below the fourth level of body tempering. They

are easier to absorb than second-grade spiritual medicines and can also help to break through the realm." Lin Yun gave a brief introduction.

The reason why elixirs are valuable is that their refining efficiency is incomparable to that

of spiritual medicines.

If you take elixirs directly, you can only absorb 20% to 30% of their medicinal power at

most, but pills can absorb 70% to 80%.

Although the pill in Lin Yun's hand was only made from first-grade spiritual medicine, after absorption, the effect was better than that of second-grade spiritual medicine. The treasure appraiser at the exchange was an old man. He took out the pill and examined

it. A delicate fragrance wafted out. The round, plump and shiny pill immediately brightened his eyes.

This is obviously an experienced treasure appraiser.

"It has a pure scent, sufficient medicinal power, and elixir light. Although it is made from low-grade spiritual medicine, the refining technique is extremely unique. Although the grade

is a bit low, it is the best among low-grade elixirs." The old treasure appraiser commented

with a little surprise.

"Only an alchemist with advanced skills can make this kind of medicine."

"I wonder if this medicine was made by you?" the old man couldn't help but ask

curiously.

In a small place like Qingyang Town, there is actually such a high-level alchemist hidden. "Hehehe, you know about elixirs!" Lin Yun, under the black robe, smiled sinisterly and

said coldly.

"However, I don't understand the rules. Since I concealed my identity and came to trade with you, I naturally don't want to get involved too much. Hurry up. Since you know how precious this pill is, trade it quickly. If you delay any longer, I will go somewhere else."

Hearing Lin Yun's impatient voice and seeing the old man's panic, he immediately said, "Please forgive me, sir. Let's trade. How many pills do you have? We can trade as much as you want. What do you need?"

"I need spiritual medicine of the third grade or above. One pill for one. Twenty third-

grade plants. If there are fourth-grade plants, two will be enough." Lin Yun said casually.

The old man's face twitched, and he was impressed by Lin Yun's lion-like asking price. He immediately bargained, "Although this elixir is effective, it is only useful for people below the third level of body tempering. It cannot be exchanged for a fourth-grade spiritual medicine. Moreover, a third-grade spiritual medicine cannot be exchanged for one, at least

two. I can only give you ten."

"Hehe, you are quite good at bargaining. I won't waste any more time on you. Fifteen third-grade spiritual herbs is my bottom line." Lin Yun, under the black robe, spoke in a firm tone, as if he was ready to kill the other party.

As a time traveler, he knew this world very well and naturally knew the value of the elixir

in his hand.

Especially in a small place like Qingyang Town, there are no talisman masters, let alone alchemists, and elixirs are a scarce commodity.

The old man pondered for a moment, took a deep breath and said, "Okay, deal!"

Then the old man told someone to get the elixir, and soon someone came carrying a few

boxes.

Lin Yun opened them one by one to verify, confirmed that they were all third-grade spiritual medicines, put them into his black robe, and turned away.

After taking a look around and making sure that no one was following him, Lin Yun found

another exchange.

However, Lin Yun failed to establish the mission this time.

However, Lin Yun did not hesitate. He had slowly figured out some of the conditions for establishing the mission.

The most important point is "difficulty".

Only when a certain difficulty is reached can the task be successfully established.

Some things are difficult the first time you do them, but after doing them many times,

they become commonplace.

After entering the exchange, Lin Yun still took out two bottles of pills. This time they were made from second-grade spiritual medicines, and each bottle contained only six pills. First and second grade spiritual medicines are not like those above the third grade. Because their medicinal properties are too weak, basically one spiritual medicine can be

refined into one pill.

However, there are some spiritual medicines with similar medicinal properties, and multiple plants can be combined together to refine higher-quality pills, but those pills are

kept by Lin Yun for his own use.

The absorption efficiency of second-grade elixirs is comparable to that of third- and

fourth-grade elixirs. This time, Lin Yun only wanted to trade for fourth-grade spiritual medicine. After some

bargaining, his twelve second-grade pills were exchanged for two fourth-grade spiritual medicines.

The number of spiritual medicines above the fourth level has dropped sharply. In the market, one fourth-grade spiritual medicine can be easily exchanged for ten third-

grade spiritual medicines, but ten third-grade spiritual medicines cannot be exchanged for

one fourth-grade one.

Therefore, Lin Yun had already made a great profit by obtaining two fourth-grade spiritual medicines.

Lin Yun, who had a fruitful harvest, found a deserted place, took off his black robe, and

went back to look for Lin Xia and Qing Tan.

Not far out of the trading alley, he met Lin Dong who had also completed a transaction.

Lin Dong also seemed to guess that Lin Yun had just come out of the underground exchange.

It seems that Brother Lin Yun also has his own secrets... Lin Dong pursed his lips slightly.

Ever since he knew that it was Lin Yun who helped Qing Tan solve the suffering of the cold, he

thought that Lin Yun also had unknown secrets.

Just as he was unwilling to reveal the existence of the stone talisman, Lin Yun probably

didn't want his secret to be known to others.

The two smiled at each other, understood each other tacitly, and returned to the shopping

mall.
