Chapter 2: The Spirit Temple

Yang Qing Town is a small town located in the southeast of Qingyou City, and Hong Xuan, the old man Hong that Xiong Bo said yesterday, is the head of the Spirit Hall Branch of Yang Qing Town.

Speaking of the Spirit Temple, it is also related to Baiguang City, since Baiguang City declared independence ten years ago, Baiguang City only opens the star ladder to the public every three years after the second year.

And the Star Ladder is currently the only way to enter White Light City. In addition, the city lord of Baiguang City has established spirit temple institutions in various towns on the surface, mainly responsible for the identification of spiritual objects and the entrustment of affairs.

News about White Light City and its Nine Heavenly Cities also came out of the Spirit Temple, and the coalition government also agreed with it.

For Lin Chen, who has been watching the store almost all year round, the Yang Qingzhen Spirit Hall Branch is one of the few places he is familiar with, because of Uncle Xiong's relationship, Lin Chen has not eaten at Old Man Hong's place.

The branch of Yang Qingzhen's Spirit Hall is located in the central square of Qingling Street, and the distance from the Black Star Shop, where Lin Chen is located, is only half an hour's walk.

From a distance, this Lingdian branch in Yangqing Town can be said to be the tallest building in the entire Qingling Street.

The building adopts a retro shape and is also divided into two floors, the first floor is the commission hall, where the registrant of the spirit hall can entrust anything, identify the level of the spirit object, and of course, take the entrusted task.

According to the level of spiritual objects held by the registrants, in addition to the ordinary first-level and low-level spiritual objects, the remaining fourth- to sixth-level spiritual object holders are usually called Qinggang-level, Mithril-level, and Adamantite-level spiritual object registrants by the Spirit Temple.

As for the holders of high-level spiritual objects above level seven, what Lin Chen knew was the meteorite held in the hands of the City Lord of White Light City as mentioned before.

It was still dawn, Lin Chen pushed open the door of the branch and found that the hall on the first floor was still empty, and there was no one, along the stairs of the building, Lin Chen walked up to the second floor of the building and found the familiar office.

"Come in, Chenzi" Lin Chen knocked lightly on the office door, and a familiar-sounding voice also came into Lin Chen's ears.

Lin Chen pushed open the door and found Uncle Xiong and Old Hong sitting on chairs in the office smiling and chatting.

Uncle Xiong was still wearing a brown coat as he was yesterday, and as for the old man Hong next to him, he was a middle-aged and elderly man dressed in white with a small white beard on his chin, but his face looked like he was only about fifty or sixty years old.

Lin Chen remembered that the first time he met Hong Lao was when he was taken out of the orphanage by Uncle Xiong three years ago, when Uncle Xiong took Lin Chen directly to the Black Star Shop on Qingling Street.

And it was here that Lin Chen met Hong Lao, according to Lin Chen, the two should have known each other for many years.

"Uncle Xiong, Elder Hong, I'm sorry to keep you two waiting" Lin Chen looked at the two of Zheng Huan who were talking, and interrupted.

"You're here, Xiao Chenzi", Hong Lao stopped talking to Uncle Xiong and looked at Lin Chen who came in and said.

"Let's go, come with the old man", Hong Lao stood up, simply stroked the wrinkles of his clothes, and at the same time glanced at Lin Chen and Xiong Lei next to him, and walked towards the door.

"Let's go, follow Old Man Hong" Xiong Lei, who was sitting on the side, also stood up, came to Lin Chen, and habitually patted Lin Chen's head, "Have you brought all the things you want to bring?"

"Hmm" Lin Chen turned his body halfway around, and motioned to Uncle Xiong to look at the backpack he was carrying behind his back, "I don't have anything, but I have everything I want" Lin Chen replied.

"Okay, let's go" After listening to what Lin Chen said, Uncle Xiong immediately walked to the door, Lin Chen looked at the two people who walked out of the door one after another, and walked out together without thinking.

After leaving the office door and turning a few corners, Lin Chen followed Uncle Xiong and Hong Lao to a room with a black door.

The gate is made of black steel, a specialty of Lingyang Star, which is scarce but extremely hard, and all of the production areas are firmly controlled by the coalition government.

Above the black steel gate is a nameplate with the words "Teleportation Room" written on it.

As far as Lin Chen knew, before the Nine Heavenly City descended on Lingyang Star, the most convenient mode of transportation for Lingyang Star was mainly an air transportation method called airplane.

And since the legendary artifact appeared on the surface, the Spirit Temple has discovered a common fourth-level spiritual object called Fengxing, which has the strange effect of teleporting any item on both fixed sides.

After many tests, the Spirit Hall set up a "teleportation room" in each town and branch hall, and the cost was not expensive, so since then, the transportation method of the airplane, which has been popular for hundreds of years, has withdrawn from the stage of history.

Pushing open the heavy black steel door, Lin Chen's eyes were greeted by a small room about ten square meters and square all sides.

In the center of the room was a round stone, about a centimeter thick, with a recess in the center and a gray wooden plaque engraved with black runes.

"Fourth-level spiritual object - Fengxing" Looking at the strange gray wooden plaque, these words came to Lin Chen's mind, because Lin Chen had seen the same pattern as this on the spiritual object record on Hong Lao's table.

Fengxing is a very common fourth-level spirit creature that usually appears in pairs.

This is because there has never been a third piece with the same rune, although it is more common but the role is particularly important, so almost all of this spiritual object is used as a teleportation by the spirit hall, and ordinary people rarely hold it.

"Okay, let's go up, the cost of going to Qingyou City is one hundred star coins per person" After entering the room, Hong Lao looked at the two behind him and said.

Star coins are also the common currency of Lingyang Star, for an ordinary family, three thousand star coins is just enough for a month's living expenses, so one hundred star coins is not a particularly difficult number for ordinary people to accept.

"Old man Hong, you're too much" Xiong Lei, who was about to stand on top of the stone with Lin Chen, heard what Old Hong said, and suddenly pulled the old man with a black face, "You still want me for this money."

"Do you look like I'm very rich?" Hong Lao suddenly said when he heard that Uncle Xiong wanted to repay the debt, "I still have a large family to support, unlike you, and when I went to your black-hearted shop, the old man didn't think that your kid gave me any discounts, hum."

When Hong Lao thought of this, he suddenly snorted coldly, as if he remembered some dissatisfied past.

"Hahaha", Uncle Xiong immediately smiled embarrassedly when he heard Hong Lao say this, "Then put it on my account, and we will count it for you next time"

"Hmph", Hong Lao snorted coldly again, "Go up, I won't go this time, it is estimated that I will not be busy here during this time" He looked at Lin Chen.

"Xiao Chenzi, you can be careful of him, don't be sold by him when you come to Baiguang City, he can do anything"

"Don't worry, Elder Hong, I will take care of myself, and I still know how Uncle Xiong is" Lin Chen replied as he looked at Elder Hong, and at the same time stood on top of the stone block of the teleportation platform with Uncle Xiong.

"Okay, I won't say more about the old man, the old man will talk more, I hope there will be a chance to see you next time" Hong Lao looked at the two people on the teleportation array and waved his hand.

"See you next time..."Uncle Xiong muttered these words silently, of course, Lin Chen beside him didn't hear it, Lin Chen only saw a burst of white light suddenly shining around the round stone, and the figure of Hong Lao in front of him gradually disappeared in front of him...
