After I cultivated immortality, I discussed the theory of lifespan with a long-lived spirit.

Chapter 122 Escorting the Grain Transport Team

After the two left Silver Shield Manor.

Luna turned to Lin Er and bowed deeply: "Master—thank you."

Lin Er waved his hand and said, "No need to thank me, I'm just stating the facts."

When Luna came to him begging, he didn't mean to blackmail her. However, since he had already taken Luna in, and her relationship with her family had become somewhat delicate, Lin Er didn't mind playing the bad guy for once.

Anyway, he's leaving Blackrock City.

Lin Er then took Luna to the herbal shop, where they soon met the apothecary Carlisle.

Upon seeing Lin Er, Carlisle rushed to greet him, complaining, "Mr. Lin Er, you're finally back! I thought you weren't coming back."

Lin Er could only apologize, admitting that he had indeed been away for too long and was only returning after such a long time.

"The last batch of healing potions has sold out, so you must refine more this time."

Carlisle took out the outstanding balance from the last settlement, totaling 175 dou coins.

He then brought out the fresh wild orchids he had prepared beforehand and cast an expectant look at Lin Er.

Lin Er had just finished a big shopping spree and only had 100 Fang coins left in his pocket, so he didn't refuse.

He said in a deep voice, "I'm going to Watchtower City to take up the post of deputy deacon this time, and I probably won't be back for a while. Let's just pay the full amount this time."

Carlisle was taken aback, then slapped his thigh repeatedly, regretting, "If I'd known you were leaving, I should have stocked up on more wild orchids!"

Recently, some unknown force has swept up all the fresh wild orchids on the market, causing prices to rise significantly. To control costs, Carlisle did not stockpile large quantities.

However, he didn't really care much about this profit.

Carlisle's expression became extremely serious, hoping that he could learn the refining technique this time.

Lin Er already knew that Carlisle was secretly learning, but he didn't mind. If Carlisle really mastered it, then he would have to study it carefully.

This is far more valuable than a recipe.

Two hours passed.

Lin Er finished refining all the mountain orchids and obtained a total of thirty bottles of healing potions, worth a total of 210 Fang coins.

After paying the full amount, Carlisle surprisingly showed some reluctance.

"Mr. Lin, you must come back when you have time!"

"I will."

Lin Er left the herbal medicine shop and returned home.

As soon as the door was opened, the furniture inside was covered with a layer of dust.

Upon seeing this, Luna quickly began to clean up.

In no time, the room was cleaned.

Lin Er said to Luna, "Since there's a food shortage in Watchtower City, we definitely need to bring more food with us this time. Go out and buy some food."

""

As he spoke, he took out another bag of coins, which contained one hundred fang coins.

Luna quickly replied, "Master, I still have some savings on me. Please use your money for more important things."

Lin Er said in a deep voice, "Just take it. You need money for daily expenses too."

Luna had no choice but to take the money bag and turn to walk outside.

Lin Er then took out the Five Elements Gathering Spirit Array and prepared to cultivate.

He had previously obtained a piece of glowing magical vine from Flora, which could be used as a wood-attribute spiritual object and also for lighting.

With everything prepared, he calmed his mind and began to practice his cultivation technique.

the next day.

Illulian arrived in Blackrock City as promised. Not knowing where Lin'er lived, she went to Raven's House and, with Ellie's help, finally found Lin'er.

Lin'er then told Ilulian about escorting the grain convoy and sought her opinion.

Ilulian remained calm and said, "The elder sent me here to take your orders. I will do whatever you say."

Something about that sentence is a bit odd.

However, since Illulian has said that, we can rest assured.

-

Lin Er said, "Then let's go see the deacon first."

Ilulian's face darkened at the mention of Roslin, but she understood her mission and didn't say anything more.

When the group arrived at the guild, Steward Roslin was already waiting at the guild entrance, clearly already aware of Illulian's arrival.

She was about to greet Ilulian when the latter turned her face away, as if to say, "Don't come near me."

Deacon Roseline was immediately embarrassed.

Seeing this, Lin Er stepped forward and said, "Steward, you can tell me what you need, and I can make the decision."

Roseline's expression softened, and she said, "Watchtower City has already responded to your matter; they have agreed to the conditions."

Lin Er breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Steward, when will the grain transport team depart?"

"The grain transport team is over at the city gate; you can go take a look first." Roslin paused, then added, "Let Ellie take you there; her family is also involved this time."

Lin Er looked at Ellie, who returned a gentle smile.

Led by Ellie, the group arrived at the city gate. Looking up, they saw more than a hundred carriages parked by the roadside, with the procession stretching all the way to the outside of the city gate.

These wagons were quite large, each pulled by two strong horses, and the workers worked hard to load bags of wheat onto them.

Ellie called over a middle-aged man and introduced him, "This is Walter, the steward of our Raven family. He is in charge of managing the caravan's drivers, militia, and provisions. You can ask him for anything if you need anything."

Water removed his hat and bowed to Lin Er and the others.

Lin Er asked, "How many people are in the convoy this time?"

Walter replied, "Not including you, there are two hundred and eighty-two people in total."

That's quite a lot of people.

Lin Er continued, "How many extraordinary individuals are there?"

Walter shook his head and replied, "Apart from me and a few officers, the rest are ordinary people, but they have all received training, so you can think of them as militia."

The militia can only deal with weak monsters like goblins; they can't be relied upon for defense.

After asking a few more questions, Lin Er got a general understanding of the team's situation.

Besides them and Helena, a team of bronze-level adventurers, about seven or eight people, participated in the escort mission.

Upon seeing Lin Er and his group, the adventurers all showed admiration and cautiously approached to greet them.

After a brief introduction, it was agreed that the task of keeping watch and maintaining order could be entrusted to them.

As time goes by.

The grain transport team had finished loading, and it was noon.

Helena, the heavy-shielded warrior, arrived late. She was reluctantly saying goodbye to Roman, while Roman wore a joyful expression of "finally free."

At this moment, Ellie walked up to Lin Er and said, "Lord Lin Er, I'm afraid I can't accompany you to Watchtower City this time. My father thinks it's too dangerous there and doesn't want me to go."

Lin Er replied, "I understand."

Seeing this, Ilulian felt a pang of pity and softly said to Ellie, "Ellie, after I complete this mission—would you like to come with me to cultivate in the Fallen Moon Forest?"
