Chapter 328 Visit_2
In his heart, these treasures were not of low value. Aside from the entrance slot to the Tianfeng Wind Secret Realm, the accumulated value of these items alone was at least worth sixty thousand Spirit Stones.
Although he had taken considerable risks, the rewards were indeed extremely generous.
Such rewards, even for a Foundation Establishment Late-Stage Cultivator, were not something that could easily be offered.
However, upon reflection, he was after all the person ranked first on the list, it was expected that he would receive such rewards.
Otherwise, if too meager, it would be laughable especially given the Zhenyang Sect's thousands of years of heritage.
Regaining his focus, Lin Tianming took out the Foundation Establishment Pill and the Purple Star Fruit from the storage bag, and placed them into his own storage bag.
Subsequently, he handed back the storage bag containing ten thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones to the nearby Wang Zhi.
"Lin, what is this?"
Seeing this, Wang Zhi asked with a puzzled look.
"Heh... over the past two years, Luoyun Pavilion and our family members have greatly benefited from Daoist Wang's care. This little token is a small gesture of our Lin Family's appreciation!" Lin Tianming said with a smile.
Hearing this, Wang Zhi waved his hand modestly, then replied, "You're too polite, Lin. Those were just small favors, no need for such courtesy!"
"Not at all, not at all. What you've done, I heard all about it from my clan members once I returned to Qianchuan Market, and I was deeply moved at the time."
"And today's visit was also to say thanks to you, Daoist Wang, for your assistance, and to introduce my clan brothers to you.
"In the future, should the Lin Family or Luoyun Pavilion face any difficulties, we'd be grateful for your further assistance."
No sooner had he finished speaking, than Lin Tianfeng also offered a cupped-fists salute, echoing the sentiment sincerely.
"Indeed... my brother and I will be stationed in Luoyun Pavilion for a few years. We'll be dealing with you a lot, Daoist Wang, so if we run into any difficulties, we hope you can make things a little easier for us!"
At this point, Wang Zhi, having heard their words and seeing the sincere expressions of Lin Tianming and the others, felt it would be inappropriate to refuse any further.
"Heh... then I shall humble myself and accept!"
"As long as I am in Qianchuan Market, if you brothers have any difficulties, feel free to seek me out, any matter within my power, I won't turn you away."
Wang Zhi replied with a polite smile, took the storage bag, and put it away.
Seeing this, Lin Tianming and the others nodded in approval of Wang Zhi's attitude.
Lin Tianming's actions were also to ensure that Lin Tianfeng and the other had a support they could rely on, and that someone would look after Luoyun Pavilion in the market city.
After all, Qianchuan Market had a lot of shops, and the competition was fierce.
While on the surface, all shops seemed harmonious and non-interfering with each other, some would inevitably engage in malicious competition or even commit acts detrimental to others but not beneficial to themselves.
So, building good relations with the Market City Supervisor like Wang Zhi had many advantages, even if it meant spending some Spirit Stones or treasures, it was no big deal.
Other families would do the same if the Lin Family did not; it was almost an unspoken rule, well understood by every family and power.
Returning his attention, Lin Tianming changed the topic and began to chat idly with Wang Zhi.
Shortly after.
After about a quarter of an hour of gathering, Lin Tianfeng, with his carefree personality, under Lin Tianming's arrangement, became more acquainted with Wang Zhi.
Seeing this, Lin Tianming achieved his goal and promptly took his leave from Wang Zhi, leading the group away from the market auction.
After leaving the auction, Lin Tianming did not go straight back to the Cave Mansion Courtyard but instead led the group towards the street where the Sky Dragon Pavilion was located.
A quarter of an hour later.
In a guests room on the second floor of the Sky Dragon Pavilion, Lin Tianming and the others were sitting inside, chatting leisurely.
At this moment, Lin Tianfeng glanced around the luxurious guests room and then asked Lin Tianming, "Brother Six, who are we visiting today?"
"The Executive Officer of Sky Dragon Pavilion, Daoist Tang Xiuyuan!"
Hearing this, Lin Tianfeng pondered for a while, then inquired, "Tang Xiuyuan? A direct descendant of the Tang Family of Qingzhou?"
"Indeed, this person's identity and cultivation are not low, and his strength is definitely not weaker than mine. You all should be well aware of the Tang Family behind him, right?"
Hearing this, Lin Tianfeng's expression turned solemn, clearly understanding the might of the Tang Family of Qingzhou, and even more so, the significance of being a direct lineage member.
"Don't worry, younger brother, we know what we're doing!"
Lin Tianming nodded, bringing them here was also to expand their connections. With Lin Tianfeng's current strength, befriending cultivators with profound backgrounds and formidable personal strength couldn't be anything but beneficial.
Just then, Tang Xiuyuan walked in, and his hearty laughter could be heard from afar.
"Lin, congratulations, congratulations!"
"The battle in Yuyao City has ended, and Lin has risen to fame, becoming the topic of discussion among many cultivators in Qianchuan Market!"
Tang Xiuyuan's words were much like Wang Zhi's, starting with pleasantries upon entering.
"Haha..."
Regarding this, Lin Tianming laughed heartily, then waved his hand and replied, "Daoist Tang is too kind!"
"This little achievement I've earned is through desperate efforts and unlike Daoist Tang, who comes from a distinguished family, and doesn't have to take any risks to gain even greater benefits."
"Hehe... Lin, you jest. Although the Tang Family is large and its business extensive, we have many family members, and the competition is just as fierce. Obtaining sufficient resources also requires great effort!"
Lin Tianming actually agreed with Tang Xiuyuan's words.
The Tang Family was a Nascent Soul Family, indeed a colossus among forces, but with a large family base and strict family rules, the competition for average talent members was just as fierce.
Unlike the Lin Family, which currently had only a few hundred members and relatively simple family rules, they focused on cultivating members with exceptional talent.
Over time, as the number of Lin Family Members grew, the family would have to refine their rules to better restrain the members.
Returning to the matter at hand, Lin Tianming changed the subject and began introducing Lin Tianfeng and the others to Tang Xiuyuan.
Tang Xiuyuan was also very polite, clearly recognizing the strength of the Lin Family and him.
The group chatted idly over tea, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.
After a little while, Tang Xiuyuan got straight to the point and directly asked Lin Tianming about the purpose of his visit.
Lin Tianming chuckled and then opened his mouth to say, "I am here today, naturally to purchase some treasures to enhance my strength."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Xiuyuan immediately became interested.
"What treasures does Lin need? Given our relationship, I'll make sure you're satisfied with the price!"
"Hehe... Any treasure that enhances strength, talisman paper, elixirs, and heaven-and-earth treasures, I won't refuse them!
"Especially the Fake Golden Core Talisman, it would be even better with that!" Lin Tianming said.
He had made a fortune recently and planned to take this opportunity to buy more treasures to enhance his cultivation and strength.
Especially attack talismans; the consumable treasures he had been carrying were almost entirely depleted, leaving only a few low-grade attack talismans. He lacked any powerful treasures for inflicting heavy damage.
At that moment, after pondering for a while, Tang Xiuyuan took out a ledger, browsed through it, and then said, "Fake Golden Core Talismans are rare and we don't have any at the moment!"
"However, we've recently stocked up plenty of Second Order Attack Talismans and spiritual fruits for enhancing cultivation. Lin might want to take a look, and if satisfied, you can use them first."
After finishing his words, Tang Xiuyuan took out a number of treasures from his storage bag, a decent variety of types.
Looking over, among the treasures were talismans, several Second Order Spiritual Fruits, and two Spirit Detonation Beads.
Seeing these treasures, there were indeed many good items among them. Although there were no high-grades talismans, the quality was not bad.
Moreover, there were three Spiritual Fruits that were Second Order Medium Quality and High Quality, which would be greatly beneficial even to his current cultivation level.
At this moment, Lin Tianming's expression was joyful, and he was very satisfied with these items.
Looking at the treasures, Lin Tianming smiled and pointed to some of them, saying, "Ten Second Order Medium Grade Attack Talismans, eight Second Order High Quality Attack Talismans, five Second Order Medium Quality Defense Talismans.
"I'll take all these Spiritual Fruits and those two Spirit Detonation Beads as well!"
