Xiuxian, I have a high martial arts world

Chapter 165: The two sides confront each other, the fifth level of golden elixir!
Lin Chen is in Qinghe City.

However, his communicator was giving orders to the martial arts puppet Long Ba, which was seven thousand miles away.

"Yes, Master!"

In Guangyuan Town, Long Ba walked into the Guangyuan auction venue after receiving the order.

Compared to half a year ago, Guangyuan auction business is much worse now.

The reason was that Lin Chen had not provided the Golden Yuan Pill for two months.

The reason why the Guangyuan Auction can attract cultivators from all walks of life is because of the fame of the Jinyuan Pill.

But now, the auction has not sold any Jinyuan Pills for two consecutive months, so naturally a large number of customers have left.

Long Ba wore a mask and walked into the backstage of the auction.

The nano camera in his eyes transmitted the images to Lin Chen synchronously.

Soon, Long Ba walked in front of President Liu.

"Chairman Liu, I'm here to collect the balance." Long Ba said in a low voice.

"What is the final payment..."

President Liu was stunned at first, but his expression changed slightly when he saw Long Ba's appearance.

He quickly whispered, "Come with me to the box..."

After entering the box, President Liu could no longer hide his excitement.

"Master Wu Leizi...is he okay?"

Long Ba followed Lin Chen's order and said in a cold tone:
"President Liu, please don't worry about that. The five Golden Yuan Pills and the spiritual stones of the magic weapons that we sent for auction... have not been taken out yet."

After hearing this, President Liu quickly handed over a storage bag.

"It's all in here, can you count it?"

Long Ba put the storage bag away without even looking at it, then turned around and prepared to leave.

After seeing this scene, President Liu suddenly became anxious.

He quickly stretched out his hand to stop it:

"Mr. Long Ba, please don't leave yet, our deal..."

Long Batou didn't even reply, he just said:

"The transaction is cancelled. From now on, our Fengling Yueying Sect will not send auctions to us anymore."

After hearing this, President Liu was stunned.

Seeing that Long Ba was about to leave the box, he could only bite the bullet and stepped forward to stop him:

"Mr. Long Ba... can you tell me the reason? Is it because of the reward offered by the Blood Eyed Demon?"

"But we have been working together for several years... Don't we even have this little bit of trust?"

President Liu's eyes were bloodshot, he leaned forward, and even stretched out his hand to press Long Ba's shoulder.

In the past two or three years of working with Lin Chen, he has gained a lot of benefits.

The Guangyuan Town Branch Chamber of Commerce has a monthly turnover of more than 500,000.

In the past two and a half years, this branch alone has provided the headquarters with profits of more than three million spirit stones.

It even became the most profitable one among the many branches in Qingzhou at one point.

President Liu himself also benefited greatly.

He received the support of the Chamber of Commerce and was nominated as the vice president of the general association. He was also promoted to the Golden Core Stage.

The future was bright...

If I work here for another three to five years, it will be more than enough for me to return to the headquarters and become vice president.

But two months ago, auction sales took a sharp turn for the worse.

Because the Jinyuan Dan is sold out.

The monthly turnover dropped from over 500,000 to 200,000, and this month... it's even less than 100,000.

It's even less profitable than when President Zheng was here.

If he continues like this, let alone being the vice president of the headquarters... I'm afraid he won't even be qualified to be the president of the branch.

Therefore, over the past two months, he has been thinking about Master Wu Lei Zi day and night.

I don't know how many times I've dreamed of this, hoping that Master Wu Leizi would secretly come to see him again and send him another batch of Jin Yuan Dan...

Although Master Wu Lei Zi is not here now.

But Long Ba came, although he knew that the person in front of him was a puppet.

But President Liu still kept a low profile. He gritted his teeth and said:

"Mr. Long Ba, we promise not to betray the master!"

"As long as the master is willing to continue to send and bid for the Golden Yuan Pills... we, the Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce, are willing to support the actions of the Righteous Alliance!"

When he said this, President Liu's voice was trembling.

It was obvious that he was going through a struggle in his heart.

The reason why the Chamber of Commerce is so successful everywhere is that it never easily gets involved in the struggles between forces and only cares about making money.

And now, he actually promised to help the Righteous Alliance, and his determination was obvious.

……

At the same time, Lin Chen, who was seven thousand miles away, received the message and images sent back by Long Ba simultaneously.

Lin Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at the nervous President Liu in front of him.

To be honest, he couldn't take the risk, but he also didn't want to lose the big cake of the Jinyuandan auction.

Therefore, he had to try again.

So, Long Ba whispered:

"I don't think this is necessary. You auctioneers should take care of your own internal affairs first!"

After saying that, Long Ba turned around and was about to leave.

Behind him, President Liu was stunned after hearing this.

Take care of the internal affairs of the Chamber of Commerce? What does this mean...

Could it be that there was a traitor inside the Chamber of Commerce? Was he trying to betray Master Wu Leizi?
President Liu's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly stepped forward and said:

"What does the master mean... Does he suspect that there is a traitor in our chamber of commerce?"

"I guarantee it with my life..."

President Liu shut up halfway through his words.

After a year of fermentation, the reward that the Blood-Eyed Demon offered for Xu Shi has reached 3.5 million spirit stones!
Anyone who provides accurate information will also be rewarded with one million spirit stones.

Even the information from Master Wu Lei Zi and Han Lao Liu is worth more than 500,000 spirit stones.

With such a huge amount of spirit stones, it is difficult for President Liu to guarantee that there are no traitors under his command.

So he gritted his teeth and said:
"Master, please give me a month!"

"Within a month, I guarantee that there won't be any traitors in the Chamber of Commerce!"

Long Ba was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay!"

Afterwards, Long Ba left Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce.

After leaving the Chamber of Commerce, Long Ba did not leave Guangyuan Town because it was not the right time yet.

As soon as he left, he would definitely be targeted by monks who were eyeing the bounty.

If he encounters a cultivator in the late Jindan stage, Long Ba and the 800,000 spirit stones in his storage bag will be lost, which is not worth it.

Therefore, Lin Chen gave Long Ba an order.

Let him stay safely in Guangyuan Town from now on.

At the same time, Lin Chen sent several martial arts puppets of different appearances and sizes to Guangyuan Town.

The next morning, Long Ba strolled around the market in Guangyuan Town with his storage bag.

As they passed each other, the storage bag was handed to another puppet.

After a few more moves and making sure no one noticed, the puppet with the storage bag entered an inn.

But Lin Chen still didn't dare to let the puppet come to him directly with the storage bag.

The methods used in the world of immortal cultivation are strange and unpredictable.

What if this storage bag has been marked by someone and he can be located?
Moreover, the martial arts puppet has no spiritual consciousness and cannot open the storage bag.

"It seems that I have to find a way to make a puppet that can use a storage bag..."

Lin Chen touched his chin.

For a long time afterwards, he was not suitable to show up in public. Although martial arts puppets are good, they also have some shortcomings. After all, they cannot use spiritual consciousness.

It would be best if you could transfer through other people...

But without revealing his identity, the only person Lin Chen can trust right now is the puppet.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen suddenly thought of - Jade Ghost!
Putting the Jade Ghost's spirit into a martial arts puppet might make a difference...

“But can the Great Xia Nation’s Enlightenment Puppet contain a spirit?”

"We still need to study it. Perhaps we can find a way in the puppet secret technique left by Jin Yuanzong..."

Lin Chen thought silently in his heart.

He didn't need to do any of these things himself. As long as he put forward an idea, there would be plenty of talented people in the Great Xia Kingdom to share his worries.

And Lin Chen can also focus more on practicing and protecting his own safety.

The next few days.

Every night, Lin Chen and several formation masters would go into the Misty Mountain to set up the formation, and continue to practice during the day.

At the same time, Lin Chen released thirty or forty puppets in batches.

They are spread across various towns and markets in Yanlai, as well as in the Country of Mist.

Lin Chen did not let these puppets trade, but instead let them act as spies and provide information to Lin Chen.

……

Soon, a month passed.

Two things happened this month.

the first thing.

Over at the Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce, President Liu acted decisively and secretly investigated possible traitors in the chamber of commerce.

After just one month of secret investigation, he actually managed to identify several managers of the auction.

These managers were indeed secretly looking for the whereabouts of "Master Wu Lei Zi". After all, money is a great asset, and the reward was a full 3.8 million spirit stones.

President Liu did what he said and directly invited Long Ba over to secretly deal with those managers.

After learning about this, Lin Chen also saw President Liu's determination.

Although he couldn't fully trust him for the time being, Lin Chen still asked Long Ba to give President Liu six Jinyuan Pills and nearly a thousand magic weapons.

Ensure that the Guangyuan Auction can continue in the next six months.

Of course, the main reason for this is that Lin Chen does not want to lose the auction house as a source of income.

The second thing is that the puppet that Lin Chen needs has been made.

On this day, Lin Chen took out an ordinary-looking puppet, and then summoned out the jade ghost hiding in the jade.

"Go inside this puppet and try it."

"Yes, Master!"

The Jade Ghost said in a delicate voice, and then drilled into the body of the puppet.

As a breath of air surged out, the Jade Ghost opened his eyes.

"Master, this body... feels a little weak..."

The jade ghost, who had been used to being a ghost, now felt a little uncomfortable with his body, as if he was restrained.

Lin Chen nodded and said:
"Please bear with it for now. The owner of this corpse only has the perfect foundation-building cultivation... Your power will naturally be somewhat restricted if you stay inside."

Ever since devouring the remnant soul of Ghost Eye, Jade Ghost's cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds, reaching the late stage of Ghost Pill.

However, being trapped in this Foundation Establishment stage body, he can still exert strength close to the middle stage of Core Formation stage.

Lin Chen took out a storage bag and said:
"Try to see if you can get the contents out."

Yu Gui nodded. There was no restriction on the storage bag, so she took it out easily.

Lin Chen nodded and said:
"Okay! Next, I will give you a task. You will go to the market in Changchun Mountain and open a shop."

"After that, someone will come to you every once in a while and give you a storage bag... You should carefully check whether there are any restrictions in the storage bag. If not, you can put the items in the storage bag..."

After hearing this, Yu Gui nodded, and without further ado, he left Qinghe City overnight.

Using the Jade Ghost as a medium is the most appropriate way to check whether the storage bag is restricted.

First of all, Jade Ghost’s soul is strong enough that some tracking marks and tricks cannot escape her detection.

Secondly, the Jade Ghost’s soul is still with Lin Chen, which means that his life is in Lin Chen’s hands, and there is no risk of betrayal.

As for choosing Changchun Shanfang City for transit, it is because it is safe enough.

"Well, with this line... we can bring back the spiritual stones that we traded smoothly."

"Even if it's a little troublesome, the annual income of two to three million spirit stones... I can't give it up!"

Lin Chen thought silently.

As his cultivation level improved, the spirit stones he consumed in his practice increased.

Coupled with the bottomless pit of the Soul Devouring Spirit Root, if Lin Chen gave up the auction, he would probably not be able to make ends meet...

In desperation, Lin Chen could only resort to this last resort and take some risks.

If he gets caught, Jade Ghost will be the one in trouble.

Lin Chen could easily kill Yu Gui before she revealed the information.

……

For the next few months, there was peace on the front line.

The Demon Sect seemed to have given up on a large-scale invasion of the Kingdom of Mist, and only occasionally sent a few teams of demon cultivators to harass Lingxuan City, but there were no large-scale casualties.

And with the Wushan Mountains as a natural defense line, it is not easy for the demon cultivators to capture Lingxuan and Qinghe cities, unless the old demon with blood pupils takes action personally.

As for the Righteous Alliance's counterattack and return to Zi Yan's territory, it is even more impossible.

To this day, the bodies of Wan Xun and others who died in battle more than half a year ago have not been recovered...

Under the arrangement of the master of the formation peak, the layout of the fog formation has reached the final stage.

Lin Chen no longer had to go to set up the formation in the middle of the night, and he had more time to execute his plan.

Until this day, Lin Chen returned to Blue Star again.

After explaining some things to Wang Lishan and others, Lin Chen went to the training room for retreat.

Lin Chen is not far from the fifth level of golden elixir.

When he arrived at the training room, Lin Chen's heart moved slightly, and three thousand medium-grade spirit stones scattered around him.

Afterwards, the Soul Devouring Root started to work, and Lin Chen began to sprint towards the fifth-level golden elixir.

In the blink of an eye, five days passed.

As the true energy in Dantian was filled up, a round of true energy compression was successfully completed.

In the Dantian, a strip of transparent mist appeared again around the golden elixir.

At this point, the fifth-level golden elixir is completed!

Lin Chen slowly stood up, sensed the changes in the true energy in his body, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes, the fifth-level golden elixir... the true essence has increased by at least 20%!"

Lin Chen calculated silently in his mind.

It has been exactly ten years since he started practicing.

In ten years, from an ordinary mortal to a fifth-level golden elixir, even if he had double the training time, this speed was still astonishing.

Of course, the cost and resources involved are also enormous.

After entering the middle stage of Golden Core, Lin Chen needed more than a thousand spirit stones just for daily practice.

In a year, the basic cultivation cost is close to 500,000 spirit stones, which is more than ten times that of the cultivators at the same level...

"At this rate, I should be able to break through to the late Jindan stage within three years..."

"My martial arts cultivation is close to that of an intermediate martial arts master..."

Lin Chen nodded with satisfaction.

Confidence comes from strength. Every breakthrough in cultivation greatly enhances Lin Chen’s sense of security.

"The Jade Ghost has almost two million spirit stones stored there... It's time to take them back."

"But before taking it back, I still have to test it again..."

"It's not that I don't trust the Guangyuan Auction, it's just that the bounty of four million spirit stones is so tempting!"

Lin Chen narrowed his eyes and muttered.

Half a year later, his bounty increased by another 200,000 spirit stones...
