After leaving a note for Ma Chun, explaining what he had about the defeat of Fenglin Restaurant and the news of the Chamber of Commerce, Lin Dong returned to Double Happiness City through the utility room.

The carriage continued on its way towards Aomine Castle, where the sixth branch was located.

Seven days later, the carriage arrived at Qingfeng City, and after knocking on the door of the inn, Lin Dong immediately rushed back to Autumn Wind City through the utility room.

When Ma Chun was called back to the backyard by Jiang Zhen, Lin Dong heard a lot of good news in one breath, Ling Zhengyang had already left, and the news that Fenglin Restaurant was bought by Lin Ji Inn at a low price had spread among the major restaurants, and a big restaurant announced its closure on the same day. In the past few days, intermittently, two more large restaurants have chosen to close their doors under the triple pressure of the Chamber of Commerce's news and the defeat of Lingshi Fan and Fenglin Restaurant.

The seven big restaurants that originally betrayed the Lin Ji Inn Alliance, so far only three are still struggling to support, if the news of the Chamber of Commerce is kept secret and can be delayed for half a month, these three will undoubtedly fall.

In addition to these two big news accidents, there are also a lot of good news that are slightly worse. The value of the secular treasures that Lin Dong got from the Treasure Pavilion of the Ningji Sect and the Xingli Sect had already been estimated, and if he took it slowly, it would be more than three million taels of silver, which was a cut above Lin Dong's expectations.

Then there are 23 kinds of gadgets made by Aunt Wang, of which there are 15 kinds that can be mass-produced and the cost is worth promoting. The only pity is that among these fifteen types, only nail clippers belong to every household, and the cost of nail clippers is too low to be used as a gift for inns.

Of course, if you don't take the inn into account, the value of these fifteen gadgets is still not low. For example, a small hanger made of sticky adhesive tape that has a strong sticky character after being coated with a special plant liquid, a small hanger made of hanging wood under the wire, and a paper clip twisted from discarded wire...... Although the cost of these things is low, the consumption is not small after they are promoted. If it is produced in large quantities, it will not only benefit the people, but also may not be the same tool for making money.

More importantly, looking at the list that was counted, Lin Dong was even more determined to build a research team. Because in his head, there are also a lot of gadgets that are difficult to say and easy to say.

Matches, mechanical watches, bicycles, cement, thermometers, roller skates, pencils...... These things don't have too much high technology, and Lin Dong didn't think about studying them before. But matches, he only knew that he needed phosphorus or something, mechanical watches seemed to be a combination of gears and clockwork, and bicycles only knew that they needed chains and two wheels...... These things, knowing the general direction, really have to be studied, although Lin Dong does not feel that he has any talent for invention and creation, but he is also confident that he can study the same in a year or two.

But he didn't have so much time to waste a year or two, and at the same time he would make a fortune and benefit all the people, and this great idea had to be abandoned.

Now that he has grown a lot of money and has a group of blacksmiths in his hands, if he can really get a research team and put these ideas forward and let the research team take charge, he doesn't have to worry about wasting his time.

The research team needs to take its time, and the talent and loyalty of the members are not a small problem, but this does not prevent the first factory from coming out. With these small inventions of Aunt Wang, it is enough to ensure the profitability of the factory.

On the spot, Lin Dong approved 100,000 taels of silver for Ma Chun to prepare for the construction of the factory.

After the affairs of the inn were busy, what should have been explained had already been explained, but Lin Dong did not rush back to Qingfeng City, but went straight to the accommodation building.

Going up to the second floor, Lin Dong knocked on the door of a room A.

"Who?" A crisp question came from the room.

"Miss You, it's me." Lin Dong replied.

"Brother Lin?"

Rao is body was outside the door, and Lin Dong could also hear the surprise in You Qinxiang's voice.

I thought that the door would be opened soon, but as a result, Lin Dong waited for more than half an hour, and the door creaked, and You Qinxiang, who was dressed in a blue Luo skirt and had a slightly ruddy face, stood at the door.

Seeing that You Qinxiang looked shy and didn't know how to speak, Lin Dong smiled and said, "Miss You, listen to Ma Chun, have you been waiting for me for a few days?" ”

You Qinxiang's pretty face became more and more ruddy, and she said in a little panic: "Brother Lin, sit inside." ”

Lin Dong nodded, and after You Qinxiang stepped sideways, he stepped into the room.

Dry and tidy, the futon is neat, and a faint fragrance lingers in the room.

As soon as she sat down at the table, You Qinxiang took out a spirit sword with an orange scabbard and carefully placed it on the table, explaining: "I have created a spirit sword by myself, it is only a third-order spirit weapon, I hope Brother Lin will not dislike it." ”

"Sent to me?" Lin Dong was a little stunned.

You Qin Xianghao lowered her head, bit her lower lip and nodded, "Brother Lin forgot, I promised to give you a spiritual weapon last time." ”

"Oh, yes, yes......"

Seeing You Qinxiang's attitude, Lin Dong dared to say that he didn't remember.

"Brother Lin, let's see if you like it or not." You Qinxiang looked happy and said excitedly: "The scabbard and sword body are orange, and it looks as heroic as Brother Lin." The sword spike is purple, which looks calm and noble. ”

Lin Dong picked up the spirit sword on the table, glanced at the sword spike under the hilt, grinned slightly, grabbed the hilt, and slowly pulled it out.

The sharp sword qi slowly opened as the sword body was withdrawn.

Looking up at You Qinxiang's expectant gaze, Lin Dong lowered his head again, and after looking at the sword body from front to back, left and right, he praised and said, "Good sword!" ”

"Brother Lin likes it?" You Qinxiang hurriedly verified.

"I like it, Miss Xie You gave it a generous gift."

Lin Dong smiled and nodded, to be honest, with a wishful stool in his hand, he couldn't look down on any spiritual weapons now. Even if Yun Lan mentioned that he had brought a high-level spirit sword when he sent a letter to the Heavenly Sword Sect last time, if he really wanted to deliver it, he might not have any interest.

But it is hand-made, and it is a bit too much to say that it is not eye-catching.

"Brother Lin likes it." You Qinxiang breathed a sigh of relief and said solemnly: "Brother Lin, don't worry, I will definitely improve the refining level, and then I can give Brother Lin a high-level spirit sword." ”

Lin Dong's smile froze, although he didn't trust his charm very much, but You Qinxiang's words, coupled with his enthusiasm in Xingli Sect, still made him wonder if You Qinxiang had taken a fancy to him.

You Qinxiang didn't dare to look at Lin Dong's face at all, naturally she didn't notice his abnormality, lowered her head, looked at her toes, and asked a little impatient and suffocating silence, "Brother Lin, do you like to wear armor?" ”

"Armor?" The second monk Lin Dongzhang was confused.

"Our Xingli Sect has a few high-grade flame feathers, which can be refined into fifth-order flame armor, if Brother Lin likes it......" You Qinxiang's voice gradually became as thin as a mosquito: "I'll help Brother Lin measure the size." ”

"Fifth-Order Armor? This is also a little too valuable, and it can be regarded as a heavy treasure in Xingli Sect, I think it's better to forget it, right? Lin Dong shook his head again and again, although the Xingli Sect is a refining sect, but the fifth-order spiritual weapons are absolutely handful, if You Beide sends it over as a thank you gift, he will accept it.

You Qinxiang...... Lin Dong has a good impression, he has already hacked the secular treasures of the Xingli Sect Treasure Pavilion, and he is a little embarrassed to accept a generous gift.

You Qinxiang thought that Lin Dong was worried that the Xingli Sect was dissatisfied, so she hurriedly explained: "Brother Lin, don't worry, this Flame Feather is a reward from my father and elders for my merits this time, and it has nothing to do with Xingli Sect." ”

"This ......" Lin Dong did have some interest in this flame armor, the snake skin at the seven inches of the golden armor snake could be refined into high-grade leather armor, and he believed that after the leather armor came out, Yun Lan would definitely give it to himself. If he had a fifth-order armor, he would have a reason to give up the leather armor to Yun Lan.

But after listening to You Qinxiang's words, he became more and more embarrassed to accept it, the treasure of Heixing Rite Sect, Lin Dong was at ease, everyone had no friendship, You Beide seemed to be a little snobbish, not black and white, not black. You Qinxiang is completely different, the enthusiasm when he was in Xingli Sect, plus a third-order spirit sword built by himself, Lin Dong is thinking about how to return the gift, how can he receive another generous gift.

"Brother Lin, I, I'm ......" You Qinxiang was a little anxious, but she didn't know how to convince Lin Dong.

Seeing that You Qinxiang's face was flushed, and he was anxious and nervous, Lin Dong couldn't bear it, gritted his teeth, it was a big deal, and he would send You Qinxiang a few blue fruits and Wanhong fruits as a return gift later.

Thinking about it, Lin Dong opened his mouth and said, "Miss You, thank you for your kindness." ”

"Brother Lin is willing to accept it?" You Qinxiang was overjoyed.

Lin Dong smiled and nodded.

You Qinxiang Powder clenched his fist, and if it weren't for some restraint, he almost waved it excitedly.

"Brother Lin, don't worry, as long as it takes a year, I guarantee that I can refine the flame armor."

"A year?" Lin Dong was stunned, although Yun Lan was not a refiner, it was not difficult for the Heavenly Sword Sect to find a high-level refiner. In a year's time, I can almost go back and forth, so don't miss it.

You Qinxiang snorted, "I'm only a third-order refiner now. ”

Lin Dong couldn't cry or laugh, and wanted to ask why he didn't let You Beide help with refining, and swallowed You Qinxiang's expression back when he reached his mouth, so he had to ask: "If you want to become a fifth-order refiner, not to mention that the level of refining has to be greatly improved, and the minimum requirement for strength must be the sixth level of the mental period, Miss You is sure that she will rise to two realms in a row within a year?" ”

You Qinxiang nodded heavily and explained: "Our Xingli Sect has a treasure place called Heaven and Earth Cave, this Jinghong Cave is all composed of rare ore Jinghong Stone, as long as you can endure the suction force of Jinghong Stone, and cultivate in it, it is no less than taking high-level spiritual materials, and you can say a thousand miles in the early stage." I have calculated that more than half a year is enough for me to ascend from the fourth level of the mental stage to the sixth level of the mental stage. In half a year, he will definitely be able to advance to a fifth-order refiner. ”

Lin Dong was dumbfounded, he was now seventy percent sure that You Qinxiang really took a fancy to himself.

Since the Jinghong Cave has this effect, it may be regarded as a treasure in the big sect, and in the Xingli Sect, it must belong to a secret that only people at the level of the sect elder or above can know.

If you really just want to repay the kindness of the Guhuan Sect to save the Xingli Sect, then you won't trust yourself to this extent.

Although You Qinxiang's talent is extremely high, if you want to reach the sixth level of the Mind Stage from the early stage of the Fourfold Mind Period, it will take six or seven years to say the least. It only takes more than half a year in this Jinghong Cave, which is equivalent to a more than ten times faster cultivation speed. The value of the cave can be seen, which is enough to make nine out of ten people have different hearts. Not to mention anything else, Lin Dong had a different heart. has the relationship of You Qinxiang, although he will not do anything to kill people and seize treasures, he has already made up his mind that he must secretly go to this shocking cave to take a look when he has time.

What's more, Lin Dong can judge from You Qinxiang's words that this Jinghong Cave is not so easy to enter, and the so-called suction force, I'm afraid few people can bear it, let alone stay for more than half a year. Otherwise, You Qinxiang's current strength is not only the fourfold of the mental period, but the Xingli Sect will not be almost wiped out. It is completely possible to rely on this Jinghong Cave to develop the Xingli Sect into a great sect.

If you really want to repay the favor and give you a fifth-order armor, why don't you need to have a ready-made one, you have to be tired and tired to suffer a great sin to refine it yourself.

Seeing that Lin Dong was in a trance, You Qinxiang couldn't find a topic, and her hurried nervousness hit her whole body again, fidgeting, and when it was really unbearable, she had to whisper: "Brother Lin, if it's okay, then I'll go back to Xingli Sect?" ”

"Huh?" Lin Dong scratched his head, smiled apologetically, got up and said, "Miss You doesn't need to go to the Amazing Cave to cultivate, wait a while, I'll bring something over." ”

You Qinxiang was puzzled, and just wanted to ask, Lin Dong had already turned around.

All the way back to the backyard, let Jiang Zhen help call Ma Chun back again, Lin Dong asked him for some newly picked Wanhong fruit and green blue fruit for a few days, and then returned to the accommodation building.

Taking out the five pairs of blue fruits and putting them on the table, and then taking out the ten thousand red tree boxes containing two ten thousand red fruits and putting them together, Lin Dong pointed to the blue fruit and explained: "This is called the blue blue fruit, it belongs to the fifth-order spiritual material, if the two colors are taken at the same time, the medicinal effect is comparable to the ninth-order spiritual material, and the five pairs are almost the limit of the medicinal effect, which is enough for you to improve two small realms." Inside the box is Wan Hongguo, a seventh-order spiritual material, I don't need to explain the medicinal effect, right? ”

"Wan Hongguo? Raise two realms? You Qinxiang looked at the blue fruit and the wooden box on the table in amazement, and couldn't believe her ears.

Wan Hongguo, You Qinxiang has seen it in ancient books, it can expand the dantian, and it belongs to the spiritual material that assists in cultivation, although it is a seventh-order spiritual material, but because it is a spiritual material that assists in cultivation, its value is not inferior to that of the eighth-order spiritual material.

Qinglanguo, she hadn't heard of it. It can really improve the two realms, and it is indeed not inferior to the ninth-order spiritual material, but how is this possible?

Nineth-order spiritual materials, even if they are big sects, are rare, let alone ninth-order spiritual materials that assist in cultivation, their value is enough to make big sects crazy. Even if it is Wanhongguo, there is no possibility that an innkeeper can take it out.

"Blue fruits can only be stored for about seven days after picking, so they need to be taken as soon as possible." Lin Dong didn't care about You Qinxiang's consternation, and continued: "Fortunately, it doesn't hurt to take the blue fruit together, within three or five days, you just need to take the time to eat it together." Wanhong fruit is better, and it can be stored in a wooden box made of Wanhong tree, which can be kept for a few years or even decades, and you can leave it for when you are about to break through. ”

"Brother Lin, Brother Lin......" You Qinxiang said in disbelief: "These spirit fruits, can they really improve the two realms?" ”

"After eating, you believe it." Lin Dong smiled: "Miss You shouldn't suspect that I have any conspiracy, right?" ”

You Qinxiang was startled, and hurriedly explained: "Brother Lin's words, how can I not believe it. It's just that when I saw such a valuable spiritual material, I was a little frightened, and I will eat it now. ”

As if to prove that she was convinced, You Qinxiang quickly picked up a cyan blue fruit and stuffed it into her mouth.

"It needs to be taken at the same time to achieve the maximum effect, and there is also the blue blue fruit." Lin Dong couldn't help but remind.

"Hmm!"

You Qinxiang hurriedly picked up the blue blue fruit again and stuffed it into her mouth without hesitation. In the end, remembering that his current appearance should be a little ugly, he turned his back with a red face.

When You Qinxiang finished eating the blue fruit and adjusted her mood and turned around, Lin Dong smiled and said, "Miss You will try to practice for a few weeks." ”

You Qinxiang nodded, as if remembering something, Ben regained her fair face, and it turned red again.

Lin Dong was stunned for a moment, and smiled embarrassedly: "Notify me after Miss You finishes practicing." ”

Without waiting for You Qinxiang to nod, Lin Dong turned around and walked out of the room quickly, closing the door with his hand.

After waiting outside the door for half an hour, Lin Dong was thinking about what You Qinxiang had taken a look at him, the door creaked open, and You Qinxiang walked out with an apologetic face: "Brother Lin, I was fascinated for a while, and I forgot that you were still waiting." ”

"It's okay!" Lin Dong shook his head and said, "The medicinal effect of this blue fruit, I'm not wrong, right?" ”

You Qinxiang couldn't help but glance at the blue fruit and the wooden box on the table, and was a little speechless.

I thought that the third-order spirit sword was already a good gift for a secular martial artist, and the fifth-order armor could make Lin Dong love it. But I didn't think that as soon as I made a move, it was a blue fruit and a seventh-order Wanhong fruit that could improve two realms.

The value of two Ten Thousand Red Fruits alone, the fifth-order armor is not even worth a fraction, let alone the blue fruit that is comparable to the ninth-order spiritual material, and it is five pairs when you take it.

To be honest, You Qinxiang would rather Lin Dong didn't take out these things. Raising the two realms is definitely the biggest surprise in her life. But in the same way, for You Qinxiang, the gift she prepared with enthusiasm was worthless in Lin Dong's eyes, and it also made her taste the biggest depression and discouragement in her life.

Smiling, Lin Dong said, "Miss You, Yun Lan is still waiting for me to go shopping together, if there is nothing to do, I'll go back first?" ”

You Qinxiang's expression was gloomy, shopping? And that cloud girl who can't help but be ashamed of herself?

"Girl You? Are you okay? Yun Lan, I should be in a hurry......"

Seeing that You Qin's fragrant face was like white paper, although Lin Dong couldn't bear it, he still hardened his heart and said again. There's no way, Yun Lan is a vinegar jar.

You Qinxiang is a good person, she is also beautiful, if she really wants to marry home, Lin Dong asked himself what he really likes in his heart, Yun Lan, but it is difficult to guarantee that he will refuse. Three wives and four concubines, this is the dream of more than nine out of nine men, and Lin Dong is also a layman.

But the premise is that Yun Lan will agree, Lin Dong is 100% sure, with Yun Lan's vinegar strength, let alone now, even if he has married Yun Lan home, he really wants to have another three wives and four concubines, and he will give himself a divorce.

It can be said that the dream of three wives and four concubines, unless Yun Lan changes her surname, is basically unreliable.

Since it is unreliable, it is natural to get rid of the idea of You Qinxiang, and it is impossible to harm a girl who has a good impression of herself.

"Since Brother Lin wants to accompany Miss Yun, then, let's go......" You Qinxiang didn't keep his soul.

"Okay, I'll go first, what does Miss You need, you can find Ma Chun."

Lin Dong greeted, pretending not to see You Qinxiang's ugly face, turned his head and left.
