Xiuxian, I have a high martial arts world

Chapter 229: Entrusted by someone, conspiracy?
After saying this, the Jindan monk pointed at a monk in gorgeous clothes in the distance.

Lin Chen felt that he looked familiar. This monk in gorgeous clothes was the nobleman who entered the ruins directly without paying the spirit stones a few days ago.

"Brother Lin, the female cultivator who died of peach blossom poison..."

"What she mentioned at the beginning was these five young masters."

Jiang Liqian reminded through voice transmission at this time.

Lin Chen nodded slightly and reminded in a low voice:

"Don't act rashly. There are too many people here... If you return the peach now, it might cause unnecessary trouble."

Jiang Liqian understood what he said, and stood in the corner with Lin Chen, observing silently.

At this time, more and more monks gathered at the entrance of the ruins.

Finally, the fifth young master stepped forward and said:

"My fellow Taoists, I would like to purchase the spiritual peaches at the price of 250,000 spiritual stones each."

"I know that this spiritual peach is beneficial to cultivation, and Jindan cultivators can also improve their cultivation by taking it. But there are more than one kind of natural treasures..."

"If there are fellow Taoists willing to sell, I am also willing to exchange them with pills of equal value."

Two hundred and fifty thousand spirit stones and a spirit peach?
After hearing this, the surrounding Jindan cultivators were all interested.

Although a Jindan cultivator has a considerable fortune, how can he not have a shortage of spiritual stone resources?

The life of an ordinary Jindan cultivator is worth no more than a million.

What you need for cultivation, purchase of techniques, cave opening, protective magic weapons...

Almost all Jindan cultivators are in short supply of spirit stones.

Although the thousand-year-old peach is precious, its value is far more than 250,000 spirit stones.

Using this amount of spirit stones to purchase elixirs for cultivation can improve one's cultivation far more than the spirit peach itself.

"Two hundred and fifty thousand spirit stones... I'm afraid this spirit peach is not worth that much, right?"

Lin Chen narrowed his eyes. He had taken several spiritual peaches to practice in the peach garden.

The spiritual peach is indeed very effective in spiritual practice. Taking one peach is equivalent to ten days of spiritual practice.

However, Lin Chen is at the early stage of Nascent Soul, and the improvement in his cultivation brought by the spiritual peach is not yet obvious.

But for a Jindan cultivator, one spiritual peach might be equivalent to one or two months of practice...

But even so, the previous purchase price of 200,000 spirit stones was already extremely high.

Now, it has reached 250,000 Spiritual Stones...

"Could it be that this spiritual peach has some secret that I haven't discovered yet?"

Lin Chen's heart moved slightly.

He has more than three thousand spiritual peaches in his hand. If the spiritual peaches really have a secret, he will make a fortune.

But after Lin Chen's observation, he found that this was not the case.

"These five young masters have good looks, excellent qualifications and good age..."

"But this cultivation... seems a little too superficial?"

Lin Chen frowned slightly. He could feel that the cultivation level of this fifth young master should have reached the Nine-Turn Golden Core Stage.

However, the magic power is a little too weak and can only be barely compared to the seventh or eighth level of the golden elixir.

Logically speaking, geniuses who come from powerful forces have no shortage of resources, and their cultivation techniques are even more superior, but this shouldn't be the case.

"Well, I guess it's because I practiced too hard and took too many pills...that's why my magic power is so weak."

Lin Chen shook his head.

Taking too many elixirs will lead to drug resistance and erysipelas.

As the Fifth Young Master was born into the direct lineage of the Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce, he should have no shortage of either ordinary or precious cultivation elixirs.

"Ordinary elixirs are no longer effective...so you are spending a lot of money to buy spiritual peaches to improve your cultivation?"

"I guess... he should be preparing to reach the half-step Nascent Soul stage?"

"However, even if he breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage... he will only be the weakest one."

Lin Chen thought silently in his heart.

If these five young masters spend more time consolidating their cultivation, they will be able to go further in the future.

But now he is so eager for success, the Nascent Soul stage may be the end of his road.

However, not all cultivators have the confidence to achieve the Divine Transformation stage.

Among Nascent Soul cultivators, only one or two out of a hundred can achieve Divine Transformation.

For most cultivators, being able to reach the Nascent Soul stage and live for one or two thousand years is a lifetime luxury.

At this time, Jiang Liqian on the side said:

"Brother Lin, you have just arrived in Tiandao City not long ago, I am afraid you don't know the situation of Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce."

"In Qingzhou, the well-known forces, such as the Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce and the Demon-Subduing Temple, are more or less related to heaven."

“Even if there is no True Lord of Transformation sitting here now, our ancestors have produced one or two True Lords of Transformation.”

Lin Chen's heart moved after hearing this, and he replied: "Then Junior Sister means..."

Jiang Liqian continued to transmit:

"The old president of the Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce is a cultivator who has reached the Perfect Nascent Soul stage and has lived for more than 1,800 years... but he has yet to break through to the Spiritualization stage. I estimate that his death is a matter of a few years..."

"The Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce is a large and powerful company, but it has also branched out into many factions."

"Among them, this fifth young master is the most talented cultivator in the direct lineage of the Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce. His father... is a strong contender for the next president."

Hearing this, Lin Chen immediately understood.

Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce is a peak Nascent Soul force, and is one of the strongest in Qingzhou except for the Wendao Sect.

At this moment, the old president is about to pass away, and the new president will take over in the next few years...

At this moment, when the evil is rampant and the situation is turbulent, the Fifth Young Master can no longer sit still and wants to break through to the Nascent Soul stage as soon as possible.

The more Nascent Soul cultivators there are in the direct lineage, the greater the chance that his father will become the president!

First break through the Nascent Soul stage... If the foundation is unstable in the future, then spend a lot of money to make up for it...

Lin Chen roughly guessed what these five young masters were thinking.

At the same time, many monks gathered at the entrance of the ruins were quite interested.

Twenty-five thousand spirit stones for one spirit peach, this price is very profitable.

Then, a monk could not help but say:
"Fifth Master, I believe you! I just happened to pick two magical peaches in the Peach Demon Valley... Do you want any?"

As he spoke, a Jindan cultivator snapped his fingers, and two round spiritual peaches fell into the hands of the Fifth Young Master.

The fifth young master did not hesitate when he saw this. He took out a bag of spirit stones and threw it over.

After the Jindan cultivator verified the number of spirit stones, he was overjoyed, bowed and left.

"Fifth Master is indeed trustworthy. I will leave first."

After earning the spirit stones, the Jindan cultivator did not dare to stay for long, so he turned into a beam of light and flew away.

Seeing this, the other monks on the side wanted to make a deal even more.

"The Fifth Young Master is a decent person... Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce is well-known, and we have a lot of people, so we are not afraid that he will default on his debts..."

At this time, some Jindan cultivators who knew each other communicated with each other through voice messages.

Soon, more Jindan cultivators spoke up.

"Fifth Young Master, I have four thousand-year-old spiritual peaches..."

"Fifth Young Master, I have three spiritual peaches, but I don't want spiritual stones. Can I exchange them for cultivation pills?"

"..."

Soon, more than a dozen Jindan cultivators spoke up and sold more than thirty spiritual peaches one after another.

Lin Chen couldn't help but sigh.

"As expected of the top Nascent Soul power, millions of spirit stones were spent with just a wave of their hands... It seems that the Fifth Young Master has really invested a lot of money to break through to the Nascent Soul stage!"

Lin Chen felt a little emotional.

However, with this batch of spiritual peaches, the fifth young master might be able to enter the Nascent Soul stage ten years earlier.

As long as I can enter the Nascent Soul stage, all this will be worth it. At this time, Jiang Liqian transmitted the message:
"Brother, how about we return the peaches as well... and then go find Brother Zhou and Brother Li?"

After hearing this, Lin Chen pondered for a moment and agreed.

So Jiang Liqian took two steps forward and said:
"Fifth Young Master, here are seven spiritual peaches. They were given to you by a female Jindan cultivator from the ruins before she died..."

As she spoke, Jiang Liqian wrapped the spiritual peach with her true essence and handed it to the Fifth Young Master.

When the Fifth Young Master heard about the seven spiritual peaches, he was immediately delighted.

When he looked up and noticed Jiang Liqian's appearance, he was stunned.

After being stunned for several breaths, the fifth young master smiled and said:
"Okay, thank you very much, fellow Taoist... What should I call you, fellow Taoist?"

Jiang Liqian frowned slightly after hearing this, but did not answer.

Seeing this, the Fifth Young Master leaped lightly, came in front of the two men, and asked loudly:
"Fellow Daoist, since you have sent me seven spiritual peaches...I wonder what reward you would like?"

As they spoke, the five young masters couldn't help but move closer.

Jiang Liqian frowned even more tightly when he saw this, and took a few steps back and said:
"Fifth Young Master, I was entrusted by someone to do this, and I don't need any reward... Since the peaches have been delivered, I will leave now."

The Fifth Young Master was even more stunned when he heard this, and more interest flashed in his eyes.

"Girl, please wait..."

"I wonder what the Taoist friend who gave me the spiritual peach is called and what he looks like?" The Fifth Young Master asked, stretching out his hand to stop him.

Lin Chen couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

He admitted that Jiang Liqian was the most beautiful female cultivator he had ever seen, and she had a unique temperament.

But these five young masters can’t be like this, right?
The most important thing is... didn’t you see Lin Chen standing next to Jiang Liqian?

So, Lin Chen stepped forward and said:

"Fifth Young Master, that female cultivator was a Jindan cultivator with a cold temperament. Before she died, she said that she would give the spiritual peach to you... Isn't your behavior a little inappropriate?"

Seeing this, the Fifth Young Master glanced at Lin Chen and asked:

"Who are you?"

Lin Chen said calmly, "I am her senior brother, and I was entrusted by someone to give you this spiritual peach."

"That dead female Jindan cultivator was still in love with you before she died...but you don't care about her at all?"

The Fifth Young Master frowned slightly upon hearing this, and looked towards Lin Chen with some hostility.

But there were many monks around at the moment, so it was not easy for him to attack directly.

He was silent for a few seconds, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

"I'm afraid you are talking about Miss Rong... Miss Rong and I are sworn brothers and sisters."

"Alas, after she got the news, she immediately entered the ruins to look for the peaches for me...but she never expected that she would be separated from me forever."

As the fifth young master spoke, a few tears fell from the corners of his eyes.

Lin Chen was dumbfounded when he saw this. He had never seen such a shameless person.

He didn't know whether the girl's last name was Rong, but the look on her face before she died clearly showed that she was looking at her lover.

These five young masters actually said they were sworn brothers?

Besides... this Fifth Young Master might have even forgotten the name of that female Jindan cultivator.

Perhaps someone reminded him just now, and he just remembered it.

Jiang Liqian shook his head and said:

"Fifth Young Master, we were only entrusted with the task... Now that the task has been completed, there is nothing left for us to do..."

Having said that, Jiang Liqian and Lin Chen prepared to leave.

"Girl, wait!"

However, unexpectedly, the fifth young master stopped the two again.

"My two fellow Taoists... since we have just emerged from the ruins, please wait for a moment..."

The Fifth Young Master looked around and suddenly raised his voice:
"My fellow Taoists, Master Long Ling has charged you a fee to enter the ruins..."

"Now that the ruins are closed, I will naturally return my personal fees."

"One thousand spirit stones per person. I can still afford this amount of money."

After hearing this, the monks around were all interested.

One thousand spirit stones is not much for a Jindan cultivator, but it is a lot for a foundation-building cultivator.

What’s more important is that the Fifth Young Master is very sincere in wanting to return the money.

Lin Chen frowned slightly when he heard this.

He didn't care about a mere thousand spirit stones.

But the Fifth Young Master stopped the two from leaving. Was it really just because he wanted to covet Jiang Liqian’s beauty?
Lin Chen looked around and suddenly saw a familiar face behind the Fifth Young Master.

"This person... is the Jindan cultivator who charged us a fee in the beginning!"

Lin Chen and Jiang Liqian looked at each other and understood at the same time.

Since the day when Old Peach Demon closed the ruins, all the cultivators were soon informed of the news.

Only Lin Chen and Jiang Liqian stayed in the ruins for half a day longer.

Although there were many monks coming and going in those days, conflicts arose between the two sides at that time.

This Jindan cultivator might have recognized the two people... and therefore guessed something.

"Senior Brother Lin, what should we do now?" Jiang Liqian asked in a voice transmission.

Lin Chen remained calm on the surface, and he and Jiang Liqian were naturally not worried about their lives being in danger.

The two of them have a certain understanding of each other's strength, and even if a Yuanying Zhenren takes action, they can be evenly matched.

But the problem is that the two of them don't want to cause trouble, and they can't reveal their true level of cultivation.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen smiled and said:
"Fifth Young Master is indeed very righteous, but I don't care about the thousands of spirit stones... I have made a small gain in the ruins, so I won't bother Master Linglong."

After saying that, Lin Chen pulled Jiang Liqian away into the distance.

When the Fifth Young Master saw the two people turning around and leaving, his face gradually turned darker.

He called a monk to his side and whispered a few words to him.

Then, he smiled again and said loudly:
"My fellow Taoists, if any of your friends have paid spirit stones, you can call them over to return them as soon as possible..."

The monks present nodded after hearing this, and then began to call their friends back to get the spirit stones.

Many monks who had left turned back again.

Of course, most of them are foundation-building cultivators.

Many Jindan cultivators simply looked down upon these 1,000 spirit stones and left directly...

……

At the same time, Lin Chen and Jiang Liqian rushed to the hiding place of Zhou Tieshan and Li Zhenqian.

"Tieshan, Zhenqian...are you all right?"

Lin Chen asked.

Li Zhenqian and Zhou Tieshan shook their heads and told the location from which they were teleported.

"Brother, a few days ago, thousands of monks in the ruins were teleported to the entrance of the ruins..."

"Among them, there are even three Nascent Soul cultivators. It seems that the Spirit Dragon Master has entered the ruins and found the Dragon Spirit Flower..."

After hearing what the two said, Lin Chen frowned slightly.

Jiang Liqian suddenly thought of something and his face looked a little ugly.

"We can't stay here for long, we have to leave as soon as possible!"

After hearing this, Lin Chen nodded, summoned the spirit boat, and flew towards Tiandao City with the three of them.

Long after the few people left, at the entrance to the ruins.

A figure appeared quietly.

"It's Master Linglong..."
