Xiuxian, I have a high martial arts world

Chapter 85: The sect competition is approaching, and we will enter the black market again!
Changchun Mountain Market, Lin’s Pavilion.

It is August now and the heat is getting stronger.

Even the female monks walking on the street were wearing cooler clothes.

More than a month has passed since Lin Chen broke through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Inside the shop, a miniature ice array exudes a slight chill.

Lin Chen lay leisurely in the rocking chair to enjoy the cool air, dozing off with his eyes half closed.

"Boss! You really came from the west today... Your shop is actually open?"

There was a voice outside the door. Lin Chen opened his eyes, saw who it was, stood up and said with a smile:
"So it's Fellow Daoist Liu... What kind of elixir do you need this time?"

The man's name was Liu Jiguang, a casual cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage and a frequent customer of the store.

He contracted two mines near the cold pond on the mountain, mainly trading in cold iron stone and the like.

"Give me two bottles of Qi-boosting pills and one bottle of Qi-blood pills..."

Liu Jiguang looked around and when he saw no one was around, he lowered his voice and said:
"Give me another bottle of Yebodan...Fellow Daoist Lin, the effect of your Yebodan is really good!"

After hearing this, Lin Chen smiled slightly and took out a few bottles of pills and handed them over.

"I'll give Fellow Daoist Liu a zero and make it 60 spirit stones!"

After hearing this, Liu Jiguang nodded, took the pill and paid the spirit stone.

Lin Chen thought for a moment and asked again:
"Does Fellow Daoist Liu still have any stock of the Cold Iron Stone? I'm using a lot of it to refine my weapon... It would be great if I could get another five or six thousand kilograms."

Liu Jiguang was not surprised by this, as it was not the first time he had traded with Lin Chen.

Although the transaction volume was quite large, he did not delve into it. Why wouldn't he do business when the business came to his door?
"Okay, okay... This month's ore has just been mined, I'll send it to you in a few days!"

After hearing this, Lin Chen nodded and paid a deposit of 500 spirit stones.

After Liu Jiguang left, Lin Chen lay in the rocking chair, covering his face with a paper fan, and continued to doze off.

Not long after, footsteps were heard in the store.

"Fellow Daoist, what kind of elixir do you want to buy?" Lin Chen asked without even raising his head.

"Brother Lin, it's me!"

Huang Xin's voice came to my ears.

"It's Ah Xin. What's the matter with you coming to the store today?" Lin Chen stood up and asked curiously.

Huang Xin first took out the storage bag and handed it over.

"Brother Lin, these are this month's spiritual herbs, a total of 2376 plants... I've counted them all."

After hearing this, Lin Chen's eyes lit up slightly. He put the elixir into the purple jade gourd and returned the storage bag.

"Ah Xin, there are almost fifty disciples in the medicine garden, right? As the manager of the medicine garden, your salary should be increased!"

"Twenty spirit stones a month, how about that?"

Huang Xin was delighted when he heard this and immediately bowed and said:
"Thank you, Senior Brother Lin!"

After taking the spirit stone, Huang Xin opened his mouth to speak, but his face looked a little embarrassed.

Seeing this, Lin Chen said:
"Ah Xin, you are not an outsider...just speak your mind."

Huang Xin nodded after hearing this and whispered:

"Brother Lin, I would like to take a few days off."

"The sect competition will be held in three days... I want to participate and see if I can get the status of an inner sect disciple."

Lin Chen was surprised after hearing this, but it made sense when he thought about it carefully.

In the past few months, Huang Xin has worked under him and earned a lot of spirit stones.

Although his aptitude is mediocre, he has reached the third level of Qi Refining.

He must have bought one or two magical weapons. With such strength, he can try his luck in the sect competition.

The Changchun Sect Competition is held every three years and is divided into two rounds: internal and external.

There were thousands of outer disciples, and no fewer than hundreds of people participating in the competition.

In each session, the top eight from the outer gate are selected and qualified to enter the inner gate.

As for the inner disciples, their number was no more than a few hundred in total.

The four peaks of Danzhenqifu were represented, and each peak sent out several disciples to compete in batches according to the year they joined the sect.

There are five-year disciples, ten-year disciples, twenty-year disciples...

Ru Lin Chen is a new disciple this session.

His opponents are the current and previous disciples.

"Speaking of which, the rewards for the sect competition seem to be quite high... Although I have already established my foundation, it is still necessary for me to participate in this competition."

Lin Chen thought silently in his heart. The first place in the sect competition will not only be rewarded with a foundation-building pill, but also gain thousands of contributions from the sect.

Another thing that Lin Chen cares about a lot is the qualification to enter the third and fourth floors of the Sutra Library.

In addition, the supply of resources for the four peaks of alchemy formations, weapons and talismans is also related to this sect competition.

The reason why Danfeng has few resources is because it has not participated in the past few competitions...

Lin Chen looked at Huang Xin in front of him.

He is not tall and has been busy in the medicine garden for several months, so his skin has been tanned.

He looked a little embarrassed, and was a little worried that Lin Chen would disagree.

"Alas, for outer disciples like Ah Xin, the sect competition is their only chance to turn things around... How can I stop him?"

Thinking of this, Lin Chen smiled and nodded:
"Well, a new batch of medicinal herbs has just been harvested, so I'll give you a few days off!"

After saying that, Lin Chen stroked the storage bag and took out a long sword.

"Ah Xin, I remember you use a sword, so I'll give you this middle-grade magic sword for self-defense."

In a competition among outer disciples like Huang Xin's, a good magic weapon often determines the outcome of the competition.

Huang Xin took the sword and his eyes were filled with emotion again.

"Senior Brother Lin..."

Lin Chen waved his hand and cursed with a smile:

"Don't be so shy... Go and get a good ranking in the competition. Will you still work in my herb garden when you come back?"

Huang Xin hurriedly said after hearing this:

"Of course I have to do it with my senior brother! Without my senior brother, how could I, Huang Xin, be where I am today?"

"I, Huang Xin, will grow spiritual medicine for you for the rest of your life..."

Lin Chen waved his hand, and Huang Xin left with his sword in hand.

After taking a look at the sky, Lin Chen closed the shop and put up a wooden sign that read "The owner is out for something, so the shop is closed for one day."

Lin Chen chose an empty corner and changed his appearance and clothes.

"Counting the days, I haven't been to the black market for more than a month..."

"Today is the day when Master Wu Leizi returns to the arena!"

Lin Chen walked around the market town several times.

Not long after, he turned and entered the inn called Huamanlou.

"Master Wu Leizi, you are here?"

As soon as he entered, the young man who had completed Qi Refining came up to greet him. Compared to before, there was more respect in his eyes.

"Well, I can just go in by myself."

Lin Chen did not stop. His identity as Master Wu Lei Zi had already earned him quite a reputation in the Changchun Mountain black market.

After passing through the long and dark back alley, Lin Chen arrived at the small courtyard in a short while.

At this moment, transactions are taking place in the courtyard.

But as soon as Lin Chen arrived, all the independent cultivators stopped their transactions and came forward at the same time.

"Master Wu Leizi, you are finally here! I have been waiting for you for a month!"

"Master Wu Lei Zi, you promised to sell me two Wu Lei Zi last time..."

More than a dozen independent cultivators squeezed forward, fearing that Lin Chen would miss them.

Nowadays, Wu Lei Zi is a hot commodity in the black market.

Lin Chen didn't say much and took out twenty five-thunder seeds.

"Everyone, today we are trading twenty Five Thunder Seeds, each priced at one hundred Spirit Stones. If you want to buy, please hurry up..."

After several price fluctuations, the selling price of Wu Lei Zi stabilized at one hundred spirit stones.

For each transaction, Lin Chen sold twenty pieces and earned two thousand spirit stones.

It also saves trouble.

After a while, all twenty five-thunder seeds were sold out.

Lin Chen stayed in the yard for a while, and seeing that there was no treasure that interested him, he prepared to turn around and leave.

But just as he left the courtyard, he saw the guard who had reached perfect Qi training blocking his way.

"Master Wu Leizi... our shopkeeper invites you to stay for a chat?"
