Chapter Eighty-Nine: What I Saw and Heard in a Small Town
After the people entered the city gate, they planned to go home to tidy up and freshen up, and after meeting at the agreed time and place, they dispersed.
Lin Lan naturally followed Xu Nan towards his house.
Xu Nan lived in the alley in the south of the city, and according to him, most of the people who settled in this city were scattered cultivators during the Qi refining period, and ordinary cultivation sects or families also set up fixed points in this city for the disciples of the sect or family to come to practice. But the most in this city are all kinds of shops, some big and some small, the big ones such as the "Pavilion of All Things", which are famous merchants all over the continent, and the small ones are just simple shops opened by the old monks in the city, and they have everything, and they can sell everything to see how much they sell.
"The materials on Qiong Hu's body like the one we got this time can be sold in the Wanwu Pavilion for a good price, and the others can also be exchanged for some spirit stones in other smaller shops, and even the ordinary medicinal herbs picked on the roadside can also be sold to those small local shops...... Of course, it won't be worth much, but after those small shops are acquired to a certain amount, they can be sold to more advanced shops, which can be regarded as a lot of income. Xu Nan said enthusiastically, and he could see that he was very excited.
His explanation was very detailed, so that Lin Lan had a preliminary understanding of the city in just a few minutes, and it seemed that he had really found the right person to find such a person. She smiled and said, "In that case, I will follow you when you go to sell things in a while, and it is better to have a long experience." ”
Xu Nan agreed, in fact, it would be better if Lin Lan could go together, so that those people in the Wanwu Pavilion would not dare to lower their prices at will, and those things would also be able to sell at a better price. Although Wanwu Pavilion generally does not maliciously oppress the weak, but the shopkeeper can't avoid it anywhere, and their own cultivation is low, so they can only accept it silently.
Xu Nan's home is not big. There are only two rooms and a courtyard, and there is not even a special cultivation room. His parents are only in the realm of Qi Refining Great Perfection, and they don't seem to be young, so they should not have much longevity. There is nothing surprising about this, how many people are stuck in the realm of the Great Perfection and it is difficult to enter the realm for the rest of their lives, the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Period, the Great Perfection of the Foundation Building Period, and the Great Perfection of the Jindan Period...... There are countless monks who have fallen on it, and if there is no special opportunity, they will be like this until they die of old age!
And the biggest obstacle that could not advance was Tsukidan, at least in Lin Lan's original world. If this is the problem of these two elders, it would be easy to do. Tsukidan is something like that. It's not a treasure for Lin Lan, and there are still a lot of them on her body, so it's okay to give them a few. But the timing must be grasped well, so that they can't feel that this thing is too easy, and it can't be easy for people to see that she still has a lot of treasures on her. Isn't that a tempting robbery? So, she remained silent for the time being. Just when Xu Nan introduced her. smiled slightly, said hello, and looked around without saying a word, showing the so-called "master" momentum to the fullest.
Xu Nan's parents are afraid that they have never been in such close contact with someone with such a high level of cultivation in their lives, and they were extremely nervous for a while, and they didn't know where to put their hands and feet. Xu Nan pulled them aside. He briefly told the story of the encounter between himself and the others and Lin Lan, and then told the lie he casually told at the city gate, and finally said: "Father, mother, this senior is kind to me. We must repay her for a good life. Anyway, Grandpa has passed away, as long as we are sure, no one else can find out what is wrong. ”
His parents were stunned when they heard this, and they never dreamed that a monk with such a high level of cultivation would need their help one day. But of course, they didn't dare to make a mistake, and they didn't dare to ask for something by opening their mouths, they just wanted to be able to serve this master well, and not to bring them calamity.
I have to say that if his parents' personality hadn't met the right opportunity, I am afraid that they would really not have to expect to break through for the rest of their lives!
They didn't deliberately avoid Lin Lan when they spoke, and even deliberately let her hear it. Anyway, what they said didn't have anything to be taboo, but let her hear it, and know what they really thought in their hearts, so as to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. Otherwise, Lin Lan could destroy them as soon as he raised his hand, but no one could avenge them!
Xu Nan's mother walked over, with a humble smile, and said, "It's a great honor for the seniors to come to our house with their faces, and the juniors to wait." It's just that the younger generation's family is surrounded by four walls, and there is nothing, I'm afraid that I will wronged the seniors, you see, ......"
Lin Lan naturally saw that this family was not wealthy, so she smiled and said, "You guys are too polite. It's just that I'm uninvited, and I don't have any qualifications to ask for anything, you just have to live as you normally would, and I will handle my own affairs, so you don't have to worry about it. ”
Xu Nan's family didn't dare to really ignore her. So Xu Nan vacated his room and set up a simple bed in the kitchen to sleep, although she knew that Lin Lan would not sleep on the bed, Xu Nan's mother still took out a new bed sheet and bedding and laid it out, and cleaned Xu Nan's room, so she respectfully invited Lin Lan to come in and sit down.
Lin Lan really doesn't need any room, she doesn't have to sleep now, she can recover her energy just by meditating, and she can also enter her own Sumeru Small World Realm, where the conditions are much better than this place, and she can live at ease, isn't it? But she couldn't shirk the kindness of Xu Nan's family, and she didn't dare to expose the space on her body easily, so she reluctantly lived in Xu Nan's room, and for the inconvenience caused to them at this time, at most, she would give them a little more spirit stone as compensation when she left in the future.
After doing this, Xu Nan took out all the materials that were stored in his Qiankun bag, sorted them out carefully, and prepared to take out the Lu to sell it and exchange it for spirit stones. Lin Lan saw the harvest of the four of them after entering the redwood forest, the most valuable thing was the things on the Qiong Tiger, followed by the materials on some lower-level demon beasts. There are also some medicinal herbs that have not been properly processed after being picked, so that some of them have lost some of their aura until now, and what was originally worth a little money is now worthless.
As an alchemist, Lin Lan naturally couldn't see such a bad practice of medicinal herbs, so he couldn't help frowning and walked over, picked up a medicinal herb and looked at it carefully, and said dissatisfiedly: "Don't you know how to deal with these herbs when you collect them?" If you leave it like this, the effect of the herb will soon be lost, and you won't be able to sell it for a good price! ”
Xu Nan said suddenly: "What the predecessor said is true. It's just that I've never been good at things like herbs, and I don't have the money to buy a jade box to hold it, but I occasionally see it when I pass by and collect it, and I never think to collect it seriously, so it's like this. ”
Lin Lan frowned and looked at him, took out a few empty jade boxes from the Qiankun bag and threw them to him, and said, "Whether it is intentional or unintentional, since it is picked, it must be kept well, so as not to destroy the heavenly things." You can take these boxes, and you can also collect good medicinal materials by the way in the future, and it will be some income. ”
Since Xu Nan guessed that her master was a great power in the merger period, she was not polite to her. In his opinion, there must be many treasures in the hands of the powerful in the merger period, and since Lin Lan is the apprentice of such a person, there must be a lot of good things on him, these things that are regarded as treasures by himself may not be anything in the eyes of others, and it is normal for her to not look down on them, but it is not necessarily polite.
Then again, how many people who cultivate the true Dao will be polite? If you don't really like it, who will give up the good things in front of you in vain?
He put away the jade box and carefully placed the herbs into the box to prevent the effect from continuing to spread.
And Xu Nan's parents were already stunned when they saw the materials on Qionghu's body. They naturally could see that such a demon beast was not something that their son and his friends could deal with, and then they realized how much water was in the narrative that had just been understated by their son, and when they came back to their senses, they scolded him severely. Xu Nan knew that he was wrong, so he didn't dare to argue, so he obediently lowered his head and let them finish scolding, so he dared to raise his head cautiously, and made amends with a smiling face, saying all the good things, but he couldn't make his parents feel better.
This time, Xu Nan's parents were heartily grateful to Lin Lan, and their gratitude even far exceeded their fear of her. For them, there is only such a precious son as Xu Nan, if there is something long and short, they are afraid that they will not be able to live. Lin Lan, that's a real lifesaver for their family!
Later, Lin Lan couldn't stand their enthusiasm anymore, so she had to quickly urge Xu Nan to go out and use the excuse to deal with those things, so that she escaped the enthusiastic "attack" of Xu Nan's parents. She almost ran out of Xu Nan's house, looked at the man behind her, and said angrily: "Your father and mother are really amazing!" I'm afraid not many people can stand their enthusiasm, right? ”
Xu Nan couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Seniors, don't blame, they are overly frightened, so they will have this kind of reaction, it will be fine when they calm down, I promise, by the time we come back, they will definitely have returned to normal." ”
Lin Lanhu glanced at him suspiciously, and secretly made a decision. If the two of them hadn't changed back to their original state when they came back, she wouldn't be in their house again, and even if she risked being discovered, it would have been better to run out of the house to stay than to face them!
