Chapter 447: Trade

POSTED ON AUGUST 22, 2023 BY KEN

After listening to Si Nan’s words, they looked at each other immediately. They could read indescribable eagerness and anxiety from each other’s eyes.

Then Venerable Qing Jing said seriously to Fang Linyan,

“Junior Sister Apprentice and I still have a very urgent thing to do at this time. Brother Xiaoqi, wait here now. We will be able to return in half a day at most.”

Fairy Chen was more meticulous as she comforted Fang Linyan in a soft voice,

“Don’t worry about the curse on you. It’s not a big deal, so leave it to me.”

Fang Linyan thought to himself: You think I don’t know you are in a hurry to dig Si Nan’s Nirvana Bead, but he still said with a respectful expression,

“Actually, there is one more thing. I don’t know if I should say it or not.”

Venerable Qing Jing said impatiently,

“Save those until we are back.”

He turned around after saying that, but Fairy Chen saw Fang Linyan come out with a box in his hand.

In that box, she suddenly felt a familiar atmosphere! Immediately, he couldn’t help but scream out of control,

“Nirvana Bead!! Why do you have your Senior Apprentice’s Nirvana Bead!”

Venerable Qing Jing also looked back suddenly, and he took the box unceremoniously. He was also full of shock.

Fang Linyan already made up a reason, so he said with a bitter smile,

“To be honest, I followed Si Nan’s instructions and left directly. Unexpectedly, after walking a few hundred meters, I suddenly felt like peeing, so I found a place to take a leak.”

“Unexpectedly, after a while, I heard a loud noise coming from the place where Sir Si Nan was staying, and a series of flashes…”

“In this case, I was still a little worried, so I went back secretly to take a look.”

“In the end, I discovered a strange thing. There were actually 2 beastkins digging for something in the place where Sir Si Nan died.”

“So I sneaked over and killed the beastkins, then I found this thing from the pit they dug. It probably has something to do with Master Si Nan, so I simply brought it over together.”

Speaking of this, Fang Linyan seemed a little embarrassed, so he said honestly,

“Okay, actually I had some ulterior motives too. I wanted to look for the enchanted weapon, secret technique book, or something else that could be dropped.”

“However, as I was entrusted, I will definitely do what I promised Sir Si Nan no matter what.”

After seeing that Nirvana Bead, Venerable Qing Jing and Fairy Chen were in a great mood. They laughed after hearing Fang Linyan’s straightforward words,

“You are quite honest. Never mind, let’s consider your merit offset your fault.”

“As for the calamity on you, it is indeed a little troublesome, but I have already calculated it. With the blessing of my Junior Apprentice’s Golden Crow Calamity Transition Talisman, you can not survive the last four hours.”

“And your calamity is not a calamity, but a human-caused crisis, so when the time comes, you just stay at my side, and no one can hurt you! After those 4 hours, your calamity will be weakened. You will be freed naturally.”

Hearing what he said, Fang Linyan was immediately speechless.

Indeed, from Venerable Qing Jing’s point of view, his behavior was understandable, and it could be regarded as fulfilling Si Nan’s promise.

However, Fang Linyan did not want such a solution! He could be doing Ascension Trial during the last 4 hours. How could he stay by his side?

However, he couldn’t always get what he wanted. In desperation, he could only nod and say,

“Okay, thank you, Venerable.”

At this time Venerable Qing Jing and Fairy Chen were about to leave together, Fang Linyan suddenly said,

“Please wait, I still have a question.”

Fairy Chen turned around and said gently,

“Please ask.”

Fang Linyan coughed and said,

“To be honest, this is the first time I come to Pingkang Mansion. I had just fought with the beastkins of the Gao Family Inn, so I need to maintain my leather armor and weapons.”

“And I also looted something from the beastkins, and I need to trade with money, so I hope you can introduce a reputable shop nearby.”

Fairy Chen smiled slightly,

“This is easy. I have a nephew who is doing this business. Follow it and you will find the shop.”

After saying that, Fairy Chen turned her wrist, and a talisman appeared in her palm. It turned into a yellow butterfly with a flick, then it flew in front of Fang Linyan.

Fang Linyan thanked her and followed the butterfly out.

He several taoists along the way, and they all worshiped the yellow butterfly after seeing it.

As a result, the yellow butterfly led Fang Linyan through another road. After passing through the Moon Cave Door that was guarded by people, he saw the building ahead.

Fang Linyan only found out that the Rain Fairy Temple was divided into the inner temple and the outer temple.

The inner temple was not open to the outside world. It was serene.

The outer temple was full of pilgrims early in the morning.

The little yellow butterfly took Fang Linyan all the way out of the temple, then it flew directly to a thriving incense shop on the right.

The incense shop was divided into upper and lower floors. The staff at the bottom was yelling hard. The shop beside was called Liu Family Incense Shop. There were quite a few customers.

The little yellow butterfly flew directly to the second floor. After a while, it stopped on Fang Linyan’s shoulder. Soon, a young woman in her thirties came down from the second floor.

The young woman wore a bun loosely on her head. Her appearance was very ordinary, but her skin was very fair. When she saw Fang Linyan, she smiled and said,

“Customer, this way please!”

Then she led Fang Linyan upstairs. After reaching the second floor, Fang Linyan realized that this was the place that sold items related to exorcists. The goods on the counter were indeed quite well-made.

Soon a child served the tea, and the young woman introduced,

“My surname is Yu. I am helping my husband to manage this shop. May I know your honorable name?”

Fang Linyan smiled bitterly and said,

“Don’t dare. I’m Fang Xiaoqi. I have just joined the exorcist profession. I’m here to sell some beastkin fragments, then buy some supplies.”

Mrs. Boss Yu smiled and said,

“You are brought by my ancestor’s yellow butterfly. That means you are our distinguished guest. You will be treated with the highest standard.”

“Then please show me the items you want to sell. I’ll let the shopkeeper come.”

Fang Linyan nodded. He had a lot of bits and pieces on him now, so he took them out and put them on the table. The total was as follows:

Taoist Master Talisman

Old weasel fur

Bone powder

3 wolf skins/2 wolf hearts

Cloud Smoke Rise (beastkin aura depleted)

Red and white mushroom

In addition, the bag of jewelry obtained from Zhu Xiaojian’s key was also taken out.

These things filled the entire table.

Soon, the shopkeeper came out. He didn’t look like the kind of old and cunning man, but he looked big and rough like a butcher.

When he saw the table full of things, he said in surprise,

“So many?”

Then I went up to inspect the items carefully. He was quite professional when inspecting them.

Seeing and smelling were the basic operations. For something like Cloud Smoke Rise, he even licked it. He was really the top model in the industry. His professional ethics were beyond the charts.

Fang Linyan found that this shopkeeper didn’t pay much attention to the items looted from the beastkins, so he was just inspecting casually.

However, for the bag of jewelry, he took at least 5 times as long.

Not only that, he seemed a little uncertain about this. He even called the shopkeeper from the jewelry shop to help him…

In the end, the shopkeeper took the proprietress and said a few words cautiously. The proprietress was shocked slightly. She hurriedly took Fang Linyan to the side and said with an apological smile,

“It stands to reason that we don’t ask where the items come from, but among the several pieces of jewelry you brought, 2 of them are not ordinary. If you don’t make it clear, we really dare not keep them. Otherwise, we will be in great trouble.”

Fang Linyan said,

“I found this thing from Gao Family Inn after I killed a fat cook.”

“The fat cook’s name is Zhu Xiaojian. He is the confidant of the beastkin king Zhu Ganglie. He is in charge of cooking human flesh for the beastkin king. It can be said that he is a human traitor who assists evildoers!”

“This person also has a Fang Necklace on his body, which carries the aura of the beastkin king Zhu Ganglie, allowing him to freely come and go among the beastkins.”

The shopkeeper listened carefully to Fang Linyan’s words, then he said,

“There’s no evidence for what you say, but do you have this necklace with you?”
