Chapter 258: Capture Lin Zhiruo

Ye Changsheng smiled and said, "It was just luck. This time I came to the exchange meeting, and finally it was not a wasted trip."

Lin Zhiruo nodded thoughtfully.

She suddenly felt that the seemingly ordinary Ye Changsheng in front of her seemed to have a lot of secrets.

This exchange meeting not only allowed her to harvest the treasures she wanted, but also made her have a strong interest in Ye Changsheng.

As the exchange meeting progressed, the atmosphere of the entire venue gradually became heated. Every once in a while, there would be amazing treasures appearing on the central platform, causing waves of exclamations and discussions.

The eyes of the monks lit up, looking forward to getting the treasures they wanted.

After an hour and a half, it was finally Lin Zhiruo's turn to go on stage.

She took a deep breath and walked slowly onto the platform.

Everyone's eyes were focused on her, looking forward to what kind of treasures she would take out.

Lin Zhiruo took out six or seven treasures from the storage bag and carefully placed them on the platform.

These treasures include: a jade ruyi with a green body, emitting a faint spiritual aura; a pearl with colorful light, as big as a thumb;

a crystal clear ice soul stone, emitting a trace of cold air;

a thousand-year-old ginseng with golden body, and its roots are like dragons;

a folding fan with exquisite patterns, which can bring a breeze to your face;

and several spiritual fruits of various shapes.

Lin Zhiruo cleared her throat and said in a crisp voice: "Dear fellow Taoists, I am Lin Zhiruo. I brought these treasures today, hoping to exchange medicinal materials or related clues for refining Daoting Dan. If any Taoists know, please don't hesitate to teach me."

As soon as she finished speaking, a whisper immediately sounded from the audience.

Daoting Dan is the key elixir to break through the Daoting realm. It is extremely difficult to refine, and the materials required are extremely rare.

Lin Zhiruo's request really surprised many people.

Soon, several cultivators responded.

A middle-aged monk in a blue robe said, "Fellow Daoist Lin, I have a thousand-year-old snow lotus here. I heard that it is one of the materials for refining Daoting Dan. I wonder if you are interested?"

Lin Zhiruo's eyes lit up, and she was about to ask for details, but she heard another gray-robed old man say, "Fellow Daoist Lin, don't be fooled. Although the thousand-year-old snow lotus is precious, it is not the kind of thousand-year-old snow lotus used in Daoting Dan. I do know a secret realm. It is said that there are many spiritual medicines for refining Daoting Dan."

Immediately afterwards, several monks spoke up, claiming that they knew some secrets or clues.

However, after Lin Zhiruo asked carefully, she found that these so-called information were either made out of nothing or heard from others, and had no practical value at all.

Seeing her hopes shattered one after another, Lin Zhiruo's face became more and more lost.

She put away the treasure in a lost state, slowly walked down the platform, and returned to her seat.

Ye Changsheng saw it, sighed in his heart, but did not say anything.

He knew that what Lin Zhiruo needed at this moment was quietness, not comfort.

After a while, it was Ye Changsheng's turn to go on stage.

He walked up to the stage with a calm expression and steady steps.

Unlike Lin Zhiruo, Ye Changsheng only took out two things: a purple cloud fruit and a sky eye fruit.

Both of these spiritual fruits are third-grade top-grade, and their preciousness is self-evident.

There was an exclamation from the audience, and many cultivators' eyes flashed with greed.

Ye Changsheng said lightly: "I want to use these two spiritual fruits to exchange for some rare spiritual medicines and spiritual fruit seeds. If any Taoist friends are interested, you can propose an exchange."

As soon as the voice fell, more than a dozen cultivators stood up and reported the seeds in their hands.

However, to Ye Changsheng's disappointment, most of these seeds were already owned by him, or some ordinary spiritual medicine seeds of low value.

Seeing this, Ye Changsheng shook his head slightly, put away the two spiritual fruits, and got off the stage.

...

The exchange meeting ended soon.

Ye Changsheng accompanied Lin Zhiruo out of the venue, and the two walked slowly along the mountain path.

Ye Changsheng looked at Lin Zhiruo's lost expression and finally asked, "Zhiruo, you are only in the middle stage of Zifu now, why do you want to refine the spiritual medicine for Daoting Dan? Isn't it a bit early?"

Lin Zhiruo smiled bitterly and replied, "Brother Ye, you don't know, it's not for me, but for my father. My father has reached the most suitable age for advancing to Daoting. Our family is trying hard to buy Daoting Dan, but we can't buy it."

"In desperation, I can only find all the spiritual medicines to refine myself. But I heard that refining Daoting Dan requires more than 300 kinds of spiritual medicines, which is too difficult for a Zifu family like us, and there is little hope."

Ye Changsheng nodded thoughtfully and said nothing more.

As they talked, the two had already arrived in front of Lin Zhiruo's cave.

Lin Zhiruo invited Ye Changsheng in for tea, and Ye Changsheng readily agreed.

After the two sat down and sipped the fragrant tea, Ye Changsheng suddenly asked: "Zhiruo, you are so anxious now. If someone takes out a Daoting Pill and asks you to marry him in exchange for your body, would you agree?"

Lin Zhiruo was stunned, then smiled bitterly and said: "Indeed. If someone gives me a precious Daoting Pill, I am willing to marry him! For my father to break through the Daoting realm, I am willing to give everything."

Ye Changsheng frowned slightly and asked: "Are you telling the truth?"

Lin Zhiruo nodded firmly: "Absolutely true. Brother Ye, do you know who has the Daoting Pill?"

Ye Changsheng did not answer immediately, but was silent for a moment.

Just when Lin Zhiruo was puzzled, Ye Changsheng suddenly took out a jade box from the storage bag and handed it to Lin Zhiruo.

"Open it and take a look."

Ye Changsheng said lightly.

Lin Zhiruo took the jade box with doubts and opened it carefully.

When she saw the contents of the jade box, her eyes widened instantly and she shed tears of excitement.

It turned out that a medium-grade Daoting Pill was quietly lying in the jade box!

"Is this... Is this really a Daoting Pill?"

Lin Zhiruo asked with a trembling voice, her eyes full of disbelief.

Ye Changsheng smiled and nodded: "Yes, it is the Daoting Pill you have been looking for."

Lin Zhiruo carefully picked up the pill, looked at it carefully for a long time, and finally confirmed that this was indeed the legendary Daoting Pill.

She was so excited that she couldn't speak, but just kept looking at the pill in her hand, and then at Ye Changsheng, her face flushed.

Seeing this, Ye Changsheng gently held Lin Zhiruo's hand and said softly: "Zhiruo, I am sincere to you and am willing to use this Daoting Pill to exchange for your heart. Are you willing?"

Lin Zhiruo lowered her head and nodded shyly.

Seeing this, Ye Changsheng was overjoyed and gently took Lin Zhiruo's hand. The two smiled at each other and slowly walked towards the bedroom.

…

After a long time, Ye Changsheng left Lin Zhiruo's cave.

He did not go home immediately, but went directly to the merit exchange place.

There, he used his accumulated merits to exchange for Lin Zhiruo's privilege of not going to the battlefield for ten years.
