Battling Records of the Chosen One Chapter 89: Treasure Exchange

Before returning home, Lin Xun went to Golden Hall again.

A Flaming Spirit Saber was sold at a sky-high price, which caused a sensation throughout the town, and the initial coldness and cheerlessness of Golden Hall had gone. Instead, now, it was thriving and crowded with customers.

Gu Yanping dealt with business perfectly. Laying emphasis on credit and commitment, he soon became rooted in Donglin Town, and soon his business became more and more prosperous.

When Lin Xun learnt about all these things, he could not help signing with emotion. Gu Yanping was an overmatch in Gang Spirit Realm. Who could imagine that he was also so good at business?

Lin Xun left from Golden Hall, with Gu Liang.

After killing Tiger Lyu three days ago, Lin Xun removed all the treasures in Tiger Lyu’s underground treasure house.

These treasures included gold, silver and jewelry, spiritual medicines, elixirs, spiritual materials and minerals, all of which were of incredible value and earned by Tiger Lyu's hard work during these decades.

However, Lin Xun, after selection, found that most of the treasures were not useful for him, so he came to Golden Hall this time to sell the useless ones.

Knowing this, Gu Yanping agreed with great cheerfulness and sent his son, Gu Liang, to return home with Lin Xun to count the value of these articles.

……

In the Courtyard 49 in the Civilian Area.

It took a full half-hour for Gu Liang to count all the items and assess their specific value – 116 imperial gold coins!

Lin Xun was also surprised. This was equivalent to 11,600 imperial silver coins. If calculated in copper coin, they were worth a total of 1.16 million!

It was absolutely an astronomical sum of money for Lin Xun. Thirty or forty Flaming Spirit Sabers, each worth 300 imperial silver coins, could be bought with such an amount of money.

It could also be seen from this how many treasures the Black-tiger Gang, as the most powerful force in Civilian Area, had acquired over the years.

On top of that, these were just the total value of some items that Lin Xun felt not useful at all.

The value of other elixirs, money, spiritual materials… that had been picked out by Lin Xun, at least was more than a hundred imperial gold coins!

As to this, Lin Xun could only sigh with emotion again, campaign and plunder, indeed was one of the most effective means of wealth convergence.

Finally, at the insistence of Lin Xun, the changes of 116 imperial gold coins were ignored and the final transaction price was 100 imperial gold coins. The transaction with Golden Hall was done.

Lin Xun voluntarily gave up 16 imperial gold coins, which made Gu Liang admire and feel grateful. In his heart, he had taken Lin Xun as a friend worth making.

Gu promised Lin Xun that he would personally deliver the money after Golden Hall sold all the goods.

Gu Liang had to do this, because they could not pay out 100 imperial gold coins at the moment with the current financial resources of Golden Hall.

For this, Lin Xun was not anxious. After the deal, he began to chat with Gu Liang.

Lin soon learned that the second Flaming Spirit Saber that he presented to Gu Yanping as a gift the other day had been sold for 200 imperial silver coins, a hundred imperial silver coins less than the price of the first one.

It was easy to understand. As the saying goes, a thing is valued if it is rare. For any treasure, if it was unique, then it was the most valuable. If there were two or three identical treasures, then the price would decline accordingly.

However, according to Gu Liang, even if there were more Flaming Spirit Sabers in the market in the future, the final price would not be less than 160 imperial silver coins. Apart from the money deducted by Golden Hall, Lin Xun could get no less than 110 imperial silver coins.

Lin Xun thought about it for a while. The cost of refining a Flaming Spirit Saber was about 30 imperial silver coins. If counted in this way, more than tripled profit could be gained if he sold one!

Why were the spiritual tattooists exalted and deeply admired?

Just because a spiritual tattooist could make a fortune that many people would be jealous of, or in other words, not only spiritual tattoos, but also endless gold dust flowed out of the fingers of every spiritual tattooist!

At present, Lin Xun was still not a spiritual tattooist, because he had not been able to inscribe a complete spiritual tattoo formation. He was still a spiritual apprentice.

But the means by which he was able to refine spiritual weapons only with his cultivation in Martial Realm was incomparable in the contemporary era.

Fortunately, this secret was only known by Lin Xun and Shia Zhi. Otherwise, it would frighten other spiritual tattooists in the world.

After all, who could believe that a teenager far from being an overmatch at the realm of Gang Spirit, who was only 13 or 14 years old, had already possessed the power of refining spiritual weapons?

And if those spiritual tattooists knew that Lin Xun could not only refine spiritual weapons, but also almost had no failure in refining the spiritual weapons, they must be dumbfounded.

Of course, if those spiritual tattooists further learnt that the Explosive-flame Saber refined by Lin Xun was twenty percent more powerful than the usual one, what would they think of that?

Lin Xun was not a fledgling now. Deeply understanding the principle of making great wealth quietly, he certainly would not tell these secrets to others.

Though it was hard to keep it a secret.

Just like this time, Gu Liang suddenly said, "Lin Xun, on the second Flaming Spirit Saber, there is an ancient 'XUN' mark, which is obviously unique to one spiritual tattooist. As long as you see this mark, you will know that it is a masterpiece belonging to a specific spiritual tattooist."

Speaking of this, Gu Liang looked at Lin Xun in surprise and doubt, "Isn’t this ‘XUN’ mark…"

"Do you think I can do that?" Lin Xun asked with a smile.

"Er…"

"It can't be you," Gu Liang said, shaking his head at last. "There are some instances in the world where a spiritual apprentice in Martial Realm is able to refine a spiritual weapon, but such thing is rarely seen. All of those spiritual apprentices are from large ancient forces, and usually cannot be seen."

After a pause, he continued, "The most important thing is that these two Flaming Spirit Sabers are very unique. Although they are made from the same materials with the same spiritual tattoo as the general Explosive-flame Sabers, they are obviously different in power. Absolutely they are a brand-new kind of spiritual weapons. Such treasures can only be refined by spiritual tattoo masters who own divine attainments.”

It indicated that even if Lin Xun now admitted that these two treasures were made by him, Gu Liang would definitely not believe him.

But this was a good thing for Lin Xun, since he did not have to spend his time lying to hide the truth.

Lin Xun smiled and said, "You don't have to guess anymore, Gu Liang. I can't tell you anything else about it, but I can promise that as long as I am in Donglin Town, I can provide Golden Hall with some spiritual weapons."

Originally, Gul Liang was still struggling, and wanted to ask which spiritual tattooist refined the two Flaming Spirit Sabers, but hearing Lin Xun's words, he immediately understood that it was the secret of Lin Xun. Even if he asked, Lin Xun would never reveal it.

On the other hand, it could also be judged from Lin’s words that Lin Xun should have a relationship with the "mysterious spiritual tattooist"; otherwise, he would not dare to make such a promise.

Thinking of this, Gu Liang could not help envying Lin Xun's good luck. Incredibly, he could keep certain relationship with a "mysterious spiritual tattooist". Who shall not envy?

But Gu Liang probably did not expect that, just due to a sentence of Lin, his thought got off track…

After chatting for a while, Gu Liang took his leave.

Lin Xun sat alone in the courtyard, squinting her eyes, and got lost in meditation.

So many things had happened in less than a month since he came to Donglin Town, and all seemed to be related to the Clan of Wu.

After suffering the assassination from three people, including Black Widow, he was threatened by the Black-tiger Gang. Lin Xun did not live a peaceful life during this period.

Fortunately, all these things had been over now. After learning two painful lessons in succession, the Clan of Wu at least would not dare to act recklessly any more.

But the threat was always there, and Lin would not be careless. He knew that, as long as he was alive, he would still suffer retaliation from the Clan of Wu sooner or later.

Fortunately, now he had established a very deep relationship with Golden Hall, and a few days ago, through Wang Lin, he also released some signal to Mu Wansu, who would certainly take this as an opportunity to review her attitude towards him.

In short, at present, before the County Test began, Lin Xun no longer had to worry about anything. He could fully spare more time on cultivation.

Indeed, compared with those trivial things, Lin Xun cared more about his cultivation. As long as he was strong enough, all the conspiracies and plots were only jokes!

At present, Lin Xun had just risen to the sixth level of Martial Realm, and for a short period of time, it would be very difficult for him to make breakthrough.

On the sixth level of Martial Realm, the spiritual power could circulate 108 times in the body, which was called the work of one Zhoutian. The blood of the whole body was like a boiling furnace burning fiercely.

While the seventh level of Martial Realm was called "Xiao Zhoutian (Small Circulation)". On this level, the whole body’s spiritual power could continuously run for entire nine Zhoutians!

In such a state, the internal spiritual power would change qualitatively by leaps and bounds, and the practitioner would begin to explore "Zhoutian Rules".

At present, Lin Xun was far from the state of "Small Circulation". Even though he wanted to break through, it could not be done in a short time.

In terms of the spiritual cultivation, by the Meditating Magic, Lin Xun had made rapid progress in perception. In a short time, he should be able to brighten the third star in his sea of consciousness.

Lin did not worry about it at all.

Just like the spiritual cultivation, his physical strength was constantly strengthened upon the trial for breaking through at the Heaven-accessing Place every three days. At present, Lin Xun’s body was extremely strong, with the copper-like skin and steel-like bones, and it was hard for ordinary swords to hurt him.

In a word, since the sequelae on Heart Vessel and Four Acupoints no longer existed, Lin Xun had been like a person who changed his fate against the God and was reborn from nirvana. No matter in which aspect of cultivation, he had shown an unimaginable potential, by which Lin Xun owned today’s achievements.

Lin Xun's only sore point was that he still hadn't found any information about the enemy who took away his spiritual vein.

From the first day he entered the Donglin Town, he often went to the town's bookshops to consult ancient books and records, trying to find out some information about his spiritual vein – the "Devouring Abyss".

It was a pity that nothing was got.

"Devouring Abyss" was a kind of spiritual vein, and the so-called spiritual vein was a kind of inborn cultivation talent!

So many practitioners were in the world, but those with an inborn spiritual vein were extremely rare, just like phoenix feathers and unicorn's horn!

In this case, the books about "spiritual vein", naturally, were rarer.

Donglin Town was no more than a remote border town in the southwestern province of the empire. It was imaginable that there was almost no hope to seek the information of the "Devouring Abyss" here.
