Chapter 175 Turnaround
The shopkeeper smiled, his expression of joy not diminishing.
One thousand spiritual stones were not too important to him.
It was just the difference between earning a little less and earning a little more.
Lin Mu was wealthy, and he had already realized that.
If he could leave a good impression on him, Lin Mu would come to his shop again next time to buy.
In the long run, these one thousand low-grade spiritual stones were really nothing.
Lin Mu had a faint smile on his face: "Thank you, shopkeeper."
Then he took out the spiritual stones and paid them without any hesitation.
The shopkeeper put away the spiritual stones with a smile, his eyes were like a thin line, and his eyes could no longer be seen: "If you come next time, I will give you a discount, a 10% discount!"
10% discount!
Lin Mu's face was happy, this discount was not low. Then he complained in his heart, why didn't you say it earlier, this time 36,000 spiritual stones, if there was a 10% discount, you can save 3,600 spiritual stones, which is more than three times the 1,000 spiritual stones.
As expected, all businessmen are dishonest!
Lin Mu smiled and put away the green cloth bag and two top-grade magic tools, said goodbye to the shop owner, and left with Yun Meng.
He spent 36,000 yuan on the array equipment and paid 8,000 yuan to Jingu, a total of 44,000 yuan.
44,000 yuan!
A third-grade array would cost such a number of spirit stones. If it was a fourth-grade array or a fifth-grade array, the cost would be ten times, or even a hundred times more.
Fortunately, Lin Mu was wealthy and could still support himself.
He had 65,000 low-grade spirit stones left on him before. He spent 36,000 yuan on the array equipment and spent 1,000 yuan at Zuixinju last night. Now he had 28,000 yuan left.
After the array was completed, he had to pay Jingu 8,000 yuan, and then he would only have 20,000 yuan left.
20,000 yuan!
Before Lin Mu came to Linwufang, he had 18,000 low-grade spirit stones on him.
Now that he has returned, his wealth has not changed much.
There has not been much change in the spiritual stones on his body, but Lin Mu is very satisfied with this trip.
The two top-grade defensive magic weapons of his parents, the Heaven-shaking Umbrella and the Green Copper Bell, are both top-notch, and ordinary people cannot break the defense at all.
The Purple Incense Furnace is even a top-grade alchemy furnace, and Lin Mu has successfully sacrificed it, and the efficiency of alchemy will be greatly increased in the future.
The third-grade array master Jin Gu has also been found, and he can set up a mountain protection array as long as he returns.
Meeting Luo Yun, Wei Sheng and others is an unexpected surprise. Now that he is about to leave, Lin Mu decides to say goodbye to them before leaving.
Yun Meng led the way, and the two came to a low two-story wooden inn.
This is where the people of Qianyu Sword Gate live.
Compared with Zuixinju, it is really a world of difference.
Fu Shan is practicing outside the building. His body refining level has made great progress. Now he has a body of copper skin and iron bones, and ordinary flying swords can't cause any harm to him at all.
The fists kept making explosions, but there was no sound of wind around.
Stop the wind!
The second level of body training!
A punch seems to have no power and cannot cause any harm to people.
But if you are really hit, the hidden power hidden in the fist will burst out, extremely strong and fierce.
If you are caught off guard, your internal organs will be shattered and you will die immediately.
Fu Shan punched out, and there was no sound of wind around, and the silence was terrifying.
Suddenly!
A light footsteps came from outside, and it sounded like thunder to Fu Shan's ears.
He was startled and turned around quickly.
Behind him, Lin Mu and Yun Meng stood together, smiling.
He suddenly relaxed all over, and the bulging muscles on his body disappeared, becoming no different from ordinary people.
Lin Mu smiled and praised: "I haven't seen you for many years. Senior Brother Fu has made great progress. It's really gratifying."
Fu Shan scratched his head and smiled: "Junior Brother Lin Mu is not bad either. Now his cultivation is in the middle stage of foundation building. There is great hope for him to break through the spiritual silence."
Lin Mu smiled: "Thank you for your good words. I will work hard to cultivate when I go back this time."
Fu Shan was stunned: "You want to go back?"
Lin Mu smiled and nodded: "I have been out for a few months. I don't know how my parents are doing. I want to go back and see them."
Fu Shan suddenly realized and said: "Wait here for a while. I will go to call Senior Brother Luo Chen."
After that, he ran upstairs.
His sturdy body was as light as a swallow, and he didn't make a sound when he went upstairs.
Lin Mu nodded secretly. After so many years, not only himself, but even his former fellow disciples have changed a lot.
Fu Shan is one of them!
At the beginning, Fu Shan's strength was not that outstanding. On the contrary, because of his clumsy body, he could not pose much threat to others.
But now looking at his figure, he is more flexible than a flying bird.
Ordinary foundation-building cultivators are no match for him.
As long as he gets close to them, they will die under his heavy punches.
Fu Shan also has four spiritual roots, and his cultivation speed is completely incomparable to others.
But he has taken a unique approach, not taking the sword cultivation route, but focusing on body cultivation.
After years of hard training, he was able to successfully build a foundation.
Fu Shan's efforts were not in vain.
Most of the disciples who came to hunt monsters this time were those who had just built their foundation.
Many of the disciples who were talented but lazy and arrogant before did not come.
I think they have not yet established their foundation.
Talent, although important, does not represent everything.
Hard work is the foundation.
This is true for Lin Mu and Fu Shan.
The talents of both of them were not outstanding among the disciples at that time, but ranked at the bottom.
The situation now is completely opposite to before.
Lin Mu's strength is now comparable to that of the middle stage of Lingji. Only a genius disciple like Luo Yun, who is rarely seen in a hundred years, can barely keep up with his pace. The rest have long been left far behind by him.
Fu Shan is very fast. Not long after he went up, several figures followed him down from the upstairs.
It was Luo Chen, Wei Sheng, and Luo Yun!
Before Luo Yun arrived, his first sentence was: "Are you leaving?"
Lin Mu smiled and nodded.
Luo Chen stared at Lin Mu and asked: "Are you going to leave the sect?"
His words were serious, and Luo Yun and Wei Sheng looked nervous.
If Lin Mu really did that, it would be the same as betraying the sect.
The result of betraying the sect is to be hunted down by the sect!
The three people felt nervous, and none of them wanted to fight Lin Mu in person in the future.
Lin Mu was stunned, then smiled and said, "Of course not, but now my parents have also practiced Taoism, they are all mortals, and they have a great demand for elixirs. If they return to the sect, they are afraid that they will drag down the sect. It just so happens that I have found a third-grade cave paradise, which can be self-sufficient and also reduce a lot of burdens for the sect. If there is nothing else, I will practice in that cave paradise and will not leave. But if the sect needs it, I will not retreat, and I will definitely stand up."
The three people felt relieved. Since Lin Mu said so, they could not refute it.
Luo Chen said calmly: "You can go back. This time I go back, I still need to report to the headmaster and the four elders. You are now in a very important position in the sect, so you can't be careless. If the headmaster and the four elders agree, then there is nothing to say. We are still brothers and sisters, and we can drink together and get drunk. If the headmaster and the elders don't agree, don't be willful and still go back to the sect."
Lin Mu's face was calm and he nodded in agreement.
Yun Meng said at this time: "I also want to go with Senior Brother Lin Mu."
Luo Chen glanced at Yun Meng and refused flatly: "No! The headmaster ordered me to lead the team to hunt monsters, how can I let you come and go as you please? This time the headmaster has ordered that everyone must hunt three or more level 2 monsters to fill the vacancies in the sect. If everyone is like you, what should I do?"
Luo Chen's righteous remarks made Yun Meng speechless, mist rose in his eyes, and he was about to cry.
Lin Mu's heart softened, and he smiled, "Since the sect is short of spiritual stones, as a disciple of Qianyu Sword Sect, I naturally have to contribute. A second-level monster can be sold for about two or three hundred low-grade spiritual stones, and three monsters are only about one thousand. Sister Yunmeng has just established her foundation, and her strength is insufficient. If she goes to hunt monsters rashly, her life may be in danger. It is better for her to go back with me and practice hard. When we are strong enough, it will not be too late to hunt monsters. Here are 100 medium-grade spiritual stones. Let's consider it as my contribution to the sect. Please accept it, brother."
After Lin Mu finished speaking, he took out a green cloth bag from the storage bag and handed it to Luo Chen.
Luo Chen took it, checked it with his spiritual sense, and his face was surprised. Luo Yun and Wei Sheng were also full of joy. Fu Shan stood aside, like an outsider, and said nothing.
100 medium-grade spiritual stones!
This is equivalent to 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones.
Ten disciples may not be able to earn it even if they risk their lives.
Lin Mu took out a hundred middle-grade spirit stones.
His wealth is indeed rich!
The three looked at Lin Mu in surprise.
Lin Mu's life outside is better than theirs in the sect, and he has become a wealthy man now.
Lin Mu smiled at the three people: "How is it?"
Luo Chen hurriedly put the green cloth bag into the storage bag, and said to Yun Meng with a smile on his face: "Go, this time, Senior Brother will never stop you."
The power of spirit stones is indeed infinite!
All excuses, morality, and righteousness are not worth a second in front of the real spirit stones.
Yun Meng was immediately delighted, her smile was as beautiful as a flower, and the people around were all stunned.
Yun Meng has been unhappy in the sect for many years, frowning, and few people have seen her smile.
Today's smile is really amazing.
Lin Mu smiled and said, "In that case, I won't stay long. I'll leave now. See you later."
Luo Chen and the other four smiled and bowed to Lin Mu.
Lin Mu turned and left, followed by Yun Meng.
The two went straight to the Free Market and met up with Jin Gu.
When they arrived at the Free Market, Jin Gu was waiting in the square.
Seeing Lin Mu and the others coming back, Jin Gu's face lit up.
Lin Mu smiled and took out the array equipment he bought and handed it to Jin Gu: "Check it once to see if it is enough. If there is any missing, I will buy it back immediately, so that I don't have to make another trip in the future."
Jin Gu took the cloth bag, checked the array plate, array flag and the like, and then picked up two top-grade magic tools, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
"Yes, not one less." Jin Gu smiled: "Especially these two top-grade magic weapons, the quality is excellent, use them as the center of the formation, the power of the "Golden Stone Formation" can at least increase by 10%."
Lin Mu smiled and said: "Since you said so, I feel relieved. Let's leave immediately, what do you think?"
Jin Gu agreed happily: "Why not!"
Lin Mu put away the green cloth bag and the two top-grade magic weapons, and the three of them walked out of the market together.
When they arrived outside Linwufang, the three of them each sacrificed their magic weapons and flew into the air.
Under Lin Mu's lead, they flew towards the Mist Lake.
