Chapter 156: Secret Discussion in the Market (Subscription Request)

Not long after.

The two communication talismans cast by the cultivator in the late stage of Qi training who was guarding the entrance and exit of Yunshuifang Market flew into the hands of the shopkeepers of Bailing Qi Hall and Bailing Grocery Store, the two stores Ling Pengyun had just visited.

Sun Yuan, the manager on the second floor of Bailing Qi Hall, looked at the communication talisman in his hand with a greedy and fiery look on his face, muttering to himself.

"If I can tell Uncle Lin about this man and kill him, I will definitely get a large amount of spiritual stones. With this amount of spiritual stones, I can collect enough spiritual stones to buy a hundred-year-old Qingyuan fruit with mild spiritual power and breakthrough effect."

"Once I have the help of this fruit, I will definitely be able to enter the perfection of Qi training. By then, my cultivation will be perfect and I can also try to build a foundation."

"Who knows..."

As for the manager of Bailing Grocery Store who also received the news, when he checked the content of the communication talisman, his expression was the same as that of Sun Yuan, the manager of Bailing Weapon Hall, both of them were greedy, but they thought differently.

Without much hesitation, the two left their own store at the fastest speed and went to the door of a large courtyard deep in the market, and knocked on the door of the courtyard together.

After a few breaths, the courtyard door was opened by a middle-aged man wearing the Taoist robe of the Bailing Gate Deacon.

The middle-aged man is named Lin Lan. He has reached the middle stage of foundation building. He is not only a deacon of Bailing Sect, but also one of the owners of Yunshui Market.

There are two Bailing Sect foundation building monks in Yunshui Market. Another Bailing Sect foundation building deacon was transferred to the front line to participate in the battle because Bailing Sect launched the demon extermination event a few days ago.

Lin Lan saw that the two managers of Bailing Instrument Hall and Grocery Store only came here once a year at the end of the year to report to him about their respective store business and account books, but now they suddenly came, and their expressions were not right. This abnormal behavior made Lin Lan's expression brighten immediately.

After bringing the two managers who came this time into the courtyard, Lin Lan asked with a slightly excited look.

"But there are fat sheep again?"

Since the departure of another foundation-building cultivator stationed in Yunshui Market, Lin Lan, a seemingly glamorous foundation-building cultivator sitting in a market, was eager to break through to the late stage of foundation-building and needed a lot of resources for cultivation, so he had evil thoughts.

In order to obtain more spiritual stones, he had agreed with the managers of several shops opened by Bailingmen in this market and the Bailingmen disciple who guarded the entrance and exit of the market a year ago, and let these people act as spies to find fat sheep.

After confirming the fat sheep, Lin Lan, a foundation-building cultivator, took action.

After the matter was completed, the profit was divided into 30% and 70%, with the person who found the fat sheep taking 30% and Lin Lan taking 70%.

It was precisely because those managers and Bailingmen disciples who guarded the entrance and exit of the market did not need to do it themselves that those people joined Lin Lan's plan to kill him.

Although this plan was only carried out for a short period of only about a year, the benefits shared by everyone were not small.

Lin Lan, who got the most, earned one or two thousand spiritual stones in just one year through this move.

"I have inquired that the young monk spent six or seven hundred spiritual stones on the first floor of my Bailing Weapon Hall alone, and bought a flying magic weapon on the second floor of Bailing Pavilion, which I manage."

"And according to my understanding, after the monk left Bailing Weapon Hall, he asked someone to come forward and spend nearly two thousand spiritual stones in a short period of time in various shops in the market to buy a large number of spiritual materials and spiritual fruits for refining." Sun Yuan, the manager of the second floor of Bailing Weapon Hall, said with a fiery look.

"Yes, I can testify to this matter. I also learned about this matter through many channels. In addition, the young monk spent a full five hundred spiritual stones in my grocery store to buy two jars of fifty-year-old rice wine and ten first-level high-quality spiritual talismans." The manager of Bailing Grocery Store echoed on the side.

After listening to what the three managers said, the luster in Lin Lan's eyes became brighter.

"Consuming two thousand spirit stones in a short period of time, it is indeed fat, and he is a young cultivator. Nine out of ten are from those foundation-building clans. Have you found out the details?"

When these words came out, the faces of Sun Yuan from Bailing Weapon Hall and Wu Hai from Bailing Wine Shop suddenly froze.

Lin Lan looked at the expressions of the two people and guessed something, and said in a deep voice. "But that person has an extraordinary origin?"

The two managers didn't want to say it, but just kept their heads down.

Lin Lan saw this, and there was some anger in his eyes. When he pulled these two people into the group, he had agreed to find out the details of the fat sheep.

If the fat sheep comes from a foundation-building clan, or there is someone behind it, it should be ignored, and only the independent cultivators can kill them.

After all, even if the independent cultivators die, no one will avenge them.

In addition, even if the news of the ambush is spread, Lin Lan can also say that those independent cultivators are evil cultivators to get rid of the crime.

"Sun Yuan, you say." Lin Lan said.

Among the two stewards, Sun Yuan, the old steward of Bailingqitang, heard the call, raised his head, looked at Lin Lan's slightly angry eyes, and his back was a little cold.

Under the pressure of Lin Lan, who was a foundation-building cultivator in front of him, Sun Yuan had to stammer.

"Uncle Lin, that kid has a close relationship with Ling Xiaohua and his wife from Lingxiao Grocery Store. The people who helped him to buy spiritual objects in the market were Ling Xiaohua and his wife. According to inquiries, the young man should be Ling Pengyun, the descendant of Ling Xiaohua and his wife who run Lingxiao Grocery Store."

Lin Lan had some impression of "Lingxiao Grocery Store". After thinking about it, he remembered where he had heard of it, and he asked.

"Ling Xiaohua and his wife? Are they the Ling Xiaohua couple who have a relationship with Junior Brother Wu Yan and his Taoist partner, Junior Sister Yang Si?"

"That's right." The old steward Sun Yuan replied.

When Lin Lan heard the answer, a roar suddenly appeared on his face and he yelled angrily. "This person is related to Junior Brother Wu Yan, a descendant of Jindan. Do you still dare to worry about him? Don't you want to live?"

"Or do you want to harm me?"

"Have you two forgotten the rules we set at the beginning? If you are a person with an extraordinary background, you must ignore it even if you are fat?"

When Sun Yuan, the manager of Bailing Artifact Hall, and Wu Hai, the manager of Bailing Grocery Store, heard this question, their expressions changed drastically.

However, Sun Yuan was not willing to give up on Ling Pengyun's big fat sheep and spoke again.

"Uncle Lin, you are serious. In just a few hours, that boy spent more than two thousand spiritual stones to buy spiritual objects. I am afraid his net worth is not just a little. If we can kill him, we will gain The harvest must be all we have gained from our small efforts in the past year.”

Lin Lan also understood this and was a little tempted by the idea of ​​intercepting and killing Ling Pengyun, but the price afterwards was too great.

He had heard that Ling Xiaohua's wife, Yang Qiuyun, and Jindan descendant Wu Yan, the Taoist friend's father, were brothers and sisters.

Under such a relationship, if he killed Ling Pengyun, he would definitely be held accountable by Wu Yan, a descendant of Jindan who was in the Bailing Sect and could reach the sky.

Thinking about it this way, even if Ling Pengyun was rich, he couldn't be interested at all. Instead, he felt uneasy and had a little cold sweat on his forehead.

"That's enough, get out!"

After Lin Lan scolded angrily, his face turned gloomy, and a foundation-building pressure suddenly burst out from his body, directly pressing on the two stewards Sun Yuan and Wu Hai.

The two stewards, Sun Yuan and Wu Hai, were already overwhelmed by Lin Lan's powerful foundation-building force. They were both in a cold sweat after being threatened.

It wasn't until Sun Yuan and Wu Hai begged for mercy that Lin Lan put away the foundation-building pressure.

The pressure of the foundation building was gone, and Sun Yuan and the two men suddenly relaxed. They did not dare to stay longer. As for intercepting and killing Ling Pengyun, they did not dare to mention it again and hurriedly left.

Lin Lan looked at the backs of Sun Yuan and the others as they left, with murderous intent emerging from his expression.

"There are many Bailingmen disciples who participated in my organization's interception. Those people must have also found out about Ling Pengyun being a fat sheep, but these two people were the only ones who ignored the rules I set. It can be seen that these two people actually The heart must be different, don’t stay for a long time.”

"If the guarantee is not complete, if the incident comes to light in the future, these two dishonest people will have an impact on my future promotion."

"If it weren't for the fact that the city's protective array has the function of taking photos, I wouldn't be able to delete it even if the array plate is empty, otherwise I would have to keep those two people today."

The deacon is only the lowest position in Bailingmen. Above the deacon there are the elders of various Baiyi halls, and above the elders there is the deputy hall master.

As for the two positions of Hall Master and Sect Master, they have nothing to do with ordinary Bailing Sect foundation-building monks. The Hall Master must at least be a Foundation-Building Perfection monk to compete for, and the Sect Master must have the strength of the first person in the sect.

But even the elders of various Baiyi Halls can make a lot of money.

As for the effect of taking photos within the city's protective formation, it is the effect of the ban on taking photos. This prohibition is precisely for the purpose of holding people accountable after random fights or even killings in the city.
