In the southern outer sea region, Superior Grade Spirit Stones were already few and far between, requiring about one hundred and twenty Midium Grade Spirit Stones to exchange for one Superior Grade Spirit Stone.
Ever since the Teleportation Array was established, the price of Superior Grade Spirit Stones became even higher.
One needed at least one hundred and thirty Spirit Stones to exchange for a single Superior Grade Spirit Stone.
Even so, there were still people unwilling to make the exchange.
However,
Lin Jing didnât have to worry about Spirit Stones.
Previously, Lin Jing had obtained most of the Black Shark Gangâs assets from the Space Ring of the Black Shark Gang Leader, amassing a total of over two hundred thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones.
Added to that were the Spirit Stones he got from the Puppet Guild Leader and other Cultivators of the Puppet Guild during his time in the Devouring Spirit Blood Realm.
Lin Jing had nearly three hundred thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones on him.
With so many Superior Grade Spirit Stones, Lin Jing had more than enough for his use.
After arriving at Bihai Island, the three people and one eagle passed through the city gates and entered Bihai City.
Looking at everything familiar inside Bihai City, Lin Jue and Ye Yunâs eyes also revealed a nostalgic look.
The two had hardly visited Bihai City since they followed Lin Jing to Li Yan Island.
In particular, in recent times, the two had not been to Bihai City for a good ten plus years.
Lin Jue was immersed daily in the Lin Familyâs Alchemy Techniques, crafting Elixir Medicines for the Li Yan Elixir Pavilion, and would occasionally come out to help Yue Qi maâam manage Li Yan City.
As for Ye Yun, his outings were even rarer.
Most of the time, he was cultivating at the Groundflame Spring, and it was precisely because of his relentless cultivation that his Cultivation had advanced so quickly.
Then, Lin Jue spoke to Lin Jing,
âBrotherâ¦â
âWeâd like to go back and have a look firstâ¦â
âItâs been so long since Iâve been back to the little house Grandpa left me.â
Lin Jing nodded and said,
âAlrightâ¦â
âIâll come with you.â
Lin Jue looked up at Lin Jing with a smile and said to him,
âThank you, brotherâ¦â
Lin Jing also smiled as he looked at Lin Jue and replied,
âIâm your brother, no need to be so polite with meâ¦â
âLetâs goâ¦â
Having said that, Lin Jing took the lead and started walking towards the interior of Bihai City.
Lin Jue and Ye Yun hurriedly followed.
The group moved along, and they quickly arrived at Fang Market in Bihai City.
The market was just as before, seemingly not much had changed.
If one had to point out some changes, it would probably be the people; the market was bustling with people coming and going, and the stall owners seemed to change over time.
Now, with dozens of years passed, surely more than one generation of sellers had come and gone.
Then, Lin Jue and Ye Yun walked into the market, with Lin Jing following behind them.
In Fang Market, Lin Jue and Ye Yun looked around east and west, stopping to gaze, sometimes walking briskly forwardâ¦
They were engrossed in conversation, immersed in memories of the past,
Both had spent not just a little of their childhood in this market.
It wouldnât be an overstatement to say this market held the memories of their youth; their demeanor made perfect sense to Lin Jing.
So Lin Jing followed quietly behind them without disturbing their reminiscing.
It was their unique memory, and naturally, Lin Jing did not intrude.
Their actions at the moment caught some sideways glances from others, but once those people noticed their Cultivation, they would quickly turn their heads away as if they had seen nothing.
Even though Lin Jing followed them, he had already concealed his own Cultivation before entering Bihai City.
Now, Lin Jing appeared to be just an ordinary Golden Core Stage early phase Cultivator, naturally attracting little attention.
In this way, Lin Jing and his companions walked on and directly reached the spot where Lin Juezhi used to set up his stall.
That place,
was also where Lin Jing and Lin Juezhi first met.
Previously, the spot was rather desolate due to its proximity to the heart of the market, with few stalls around.
But now, perhaps due to the establishment of the Teleportation Array, even the deepest parts of the market were bustling with activity.
At the location of Lin Juezhiâs former stall, it was already occupied by someone else.
There stood about an eleven or twelve-year-old girl, who, despite appearing somewhat thin, had a determination in her eyes that seemed beyond her years.
Besides thatâ¦
On the stall in front of the young girl, there were several porcelain bottles containing Elixir Medicines.
This little girl, she too sells Elixir Medicine.
Her slender frame, resolute eyesâ¦
This little girl, she closely resembled Lin Jue when Lin Jing first met her.
Seeing the little girl, Lin Jue thought of her past self, immediately a nameless emotion surged in her heart.
Following that.
Lin Jue walked forward and softly asked the girl:
âDid you refine all these Elixir Medicines yourself?â
Seeing someone inquiring about the Elixir Medicines at her stall, the girl quickly came over to greet:
âYes, seniorâ¦â
âAll the Elixir Medicines at this stall were refined by me.â
âMay I know what kind of Elixir Medicine the senior is looking for?â
Despite her young age, she was not in the least bit shy, and by the looks of it, she must have been running her stall in Fang Market for quite a while now.
Lin Jing looked at the little girl and couldnât help feeling a sense of familiarity, as if he had once seen her as a little girl himself.
Then, Lin Jing couldnât help but laugh, shaking his headâ¦
Lin Jing hadnât been out of Li Yan Island for a long time, so how could he recognize this eleven or twelve-year-old girl?
It was probably because she reminded him of Lin Jue of the past that he felt this familiarity.
Lin Jue then spoke:
âCould you please bring that bottle of Elixir Medicine here for me to look at?â
Lin Jue didnât specify which Elixir Medicine she needed, but simply pointed at one of the porcelain bottles.
âAlrightâ¦â
âPlease wait a moment, seniorâ¦â
The girl was very polite, saying so, she handed over the bottle of Elixir Medicine to him.
After receiving the bottle, Lin Jue did not directly open it but instead directly asked the girl:
âLittle sisterâ¦â
âWhere is your family? How come youâre here at the stall alone? Arenât your family worried?â
After hearing this, the girl then looked up at Lin Jue. Perhaps it was because Lin Jueâs gaze was sincere that the girl let down her guard.
After hesitating for a moment, the girl replied:
âMy mother has already passed away, and my father has been bedridden at home with injuries. Uncle Yan has also been constantly looking for medicine to help my father.â@@novelbin@@
This little girl, too, had a pitiable life storyâ¦
Lin Jue looked at the little girl, feeling a wave of sympathy.
Howeverâ¦
Just then, suddenly an untimely voice came from the side:
âSo you finally showed up here, Iâve found you at lastâ¦â
Two cultivators with ferocious appearances were looking at the little girl, their eyes revealing a hint of cruelty.
Upon hearing the voice, the girl immediately turned pale with fright.
âItâs⦠itâs youâ¦â
âHow did you find this place?â
Among the two men, one bald man curled up the corners of his mouth, looked at the girl, and wore a sneer.
âDid you really think you could be safe by hiding out here?â
âWhereâs your father? Call him out to face his death.â
Both cultivators had reached the Golden Core Stage of cultivation, especially the bald man who was at the Golden Core Late Stage.
Yet, these two were openly threatening the girl in Bihai City, indicating the brazenness of their courage.
The girl, frightened by the two, kept retreating until she bumped into a pillar behind her and finally came to a stop.
With nowhere to retreat, the girl then mustered her courage and said to the bald man:
âThis is Bihai City, you canât harm me and my father here.â
The bald man let out a sinister laugh:
âHeh hehâ¦â
âBrat, youâre young, but you know quite a bit.â
âOf course, I wonât lay a hand on you in Bihai City, but can you always hide in Bihai City?â
âI doubt it, eh?â
âEspecially with your fatherâs injuries, he probably canât last much longer, can he?â
The words of the bald man caused the girlâs newfound courage to instantly collapse.
Facing the intimidation of the powerful Golden Core Cultivator, she was without any support, appearing completely lost and even unsure of how to retortâ¦
