Chapter 19: The True Artifact
Shang Weixue took Lin Chen and Jiang Ling'er upstairs and walked through a bright corridor, inside which was a large round table, where more than a dozen waiters were waiting.
The layout here is a little more simple than the hall downstairs, but it gives people a refreshing and comfortable feeling.
Lin Chen looked at the surrounding decorations, there was a pair of crystal chessboards in front of the round table, a pair of black and white chess pieces were placed on the chessboard, a teapot was placed on the left side of the chessboard, and two cups of fragrant tea were placed on the right side of the teapot.
Shang Weixue nodded to the waiter, and more than a dozen people immediately moved, some placed plates, some made tea and poured water, and some sent pre-meal snacks......
Then, she walked over to a wall, pressed her palm to one place, and gently pushed open a secret door.
Lin Chen looked inside, a conference table, a lamp, two sofas, and no technological products.
He saw that the walls of this room were half a meter thick, made of special steel, and it seemed to be a very important secret room.
Shang Weixue glanced back at Jiang Ling'er, and asked Lin Chen with her eyes whether she wanted to bring Jiang Ling'er with her about the next thing to discuss.
According to the rules, Jiang Ling'er is not qualified to enter, but Lin Chen insists on taking it, and Shang Weixue will make an exception.
Lin Chen smiled slightly and said to Jiang Ling'er: "Ling'er, let's go in and talk about something, you wait outside for a while." ”
"Hmm." Jiang Ling'er nodded obediently.
For ordinary people, martial artists are very mysterious existences, but because of family reasons, Jiang Ling'er still has some understanding of martial arts.
Shang Weixue is already recognized as the future successor of the business, and her status can be imagined.
Jiang Ling'er originally thought that Lin Chen was Shang Weixue's friend, but along the way, Shang Weixue led the way in front and opened the door for Lin Chen, and his words were extremely respectful, no matter how he looked at it, it didn't look like a friend.
On the contrary, Shang Weixue had to look at Lin Chen's eyes everywhere, which made Jiang Ling'er very shocked.
Lin Chen didn't rely on the power of the merchant, but the merchant wanted to curry favor with him!
After entering the secret room, Shang Weixue knew that Lin Chen didn't like to be polite, so he went directly to the topic and took out a palm-sized black piece of wood from his body.
"Mr. Lin, the Imperial Spirit Tree is produced from the Imperial Spirit Tree in the depths of the Qinling Mountains, but due to the need for a large amount of protective clothing to mine azurite, the Imperial Spirit Wood in the wild became extinct ten years ago, and now only a few martial arts families are planting some."
"I got this ancient tree from a Taoist temple, and I sent it over when I knew that Mr. Lin needed it."
Lin Chen took the wooden block, and his eyes lit up: "Huh? ”
Shang Weixue was a little nervous and said, "Mr. Lin, is there something wrong?" ”
"Don't be nervous." Lin Chen smiled and said, "I'm surprised that this piece of Imperial Spirit Wood actually has a formation burned on it. ”
This ancient tree looks to be hundreds of years old, and the formation burned on it is incomplete, but it can still be seen that it is a talisman formation.
Immortal cultivators not only cultivate themselves, but also talismans, alchemy, refining weapons, formations, etc. are also essential.
Lin Chen's master Yun Xuzi in his previous life was a formation master, and Lin Chen was an all-rounder who was proficient in refining, formation, alchemy, and talismans.
"Formation?" Shang Weixue was very puzzled, "Is it the feng shui master's method of attracting wealth and blessings and changing the formation of feng shui?" ”
Lin Chen shook his head: "The formation I'm talking about is not this kind of pediatric, but a magic weapon that really burns the formation and refines it." ”
He guessed that the formation on the Blue Star originated from the immortal cultivators, because the Blue Star had azurite ore, which would inevitably attract some immortal cultivators to come, just like his master Yun Xuzi came to the Blue Star to study the azurite ore, and would leave some inheritance.
However, these inheritances about the formation are obviously not systematic, and over time, the real inheritance gradually withered, and the formation mage became a feng shui master.
"This is a magic weapon? I only know that the legendary land immortal can control the sword with qi and cross the river with a reed, is this sword and a reed considered a magic weapon? Shang Weixue asked.
"Those are far from them, I'm talking about magic weapons that can call the wind and rain, fly with the sword, lead the thunder from the sky, and gather waves from below." Lin Chen said lightly.
Shang Weixue's cold face showed a shocked expression: "Is there really such an artifact in this world?" ”
Lin Chen smiled and didn't explain anymore.
He knew that it was difficult to understand with Shang Weixue's insight, in their opinion, the Imperial Spirit Wood was only used as a protective clothing for mining blue crystal, and this property of isolating the aura could be used to preserve the aura.
Use the Imperial Spirit Wood to burn the formation, refine it into a personal item, and you can activate the formation at any time.
This is the case with this ancient tree in his hand, because the years are too old, the aura in it has dissipated, and with the incomplete formation, it can no longer run.
However, it was very simple for Lin Chen to repair it.
He thought for a moment: "Since Shang Weixue can find this kind of magic weapon that burns the formation, there must be some preserved in other places or in the hands of others." ”
Thinking of this, he said to Shang Weixue.
"Weixue, you help me keep an eye on other formation mages, remember that it's a formation mage, not those feng shui masters."
"Yes, the juniors remember." Although Shang Weixue didn't know what Lin Chen was looking for a formation mage, he still agreed without hesitation.
After finishing speaking, Shang Weixue wanted to speak and stopped, and after hesitating for a moment, he hugged his fists.
"Mr. Lin, the junior has a reluctant request."
"Say it." Lin Chen said indifferently.
"Actually, I came to Zhongzhou City this time, in addition to the bottleneck of the martial arts road and came out to relax, there is also a purpose to track down a walk. The organization of private azulite, there is news that this organization is eyeing the azurite ore in the forbidden land of merchants. ”
"However, I have been tracking for many days, and I have not found any clues, so I am not sure if the information is wrong."
"I hope Mr. Lin can take care of me after I leave Zhongzhou, after all, my second uncle's family is an ordinary person."
Shang Weixue pleaded.
"It's just a trivial matter, seeing that you are in such a hurry to go back, you should have broken through the bottleneck."
Lin Chen thought for a while and agreed, he got along well with the people of the merchant, and it was also a good thing for him to be able to take the merchant for his own use in the future.
"Sure enough, I can't hide anything from my seniors, after Weixue comes back from Longbei City, I'll come and ask my seniors for advice." Shang Weixue bowed his head.
Lin Chen smiled slightly, which could be regarded as acquiescence.
Shang Weixue's heart was overjoyed, and her eyes sparkled.
After the two finished talking, Shang Weixue left first.
After Lin Chen and Jiang Ling'er had a full meal, they returned to the hall.
Yi Tiandao's banquet was not over yet, and the two of them became the focus of everyone.
Yi Nanfei, Tang Mingli and others, who were still chatting and drinking, saw Lin Chen and hurriedly avoided their sight, bowed their heads one by one and remained silent.
The girls, led by Yi Qinglian, looked at Jiang Ling'er with envy.
They couldn't figure out why Jiang Ling'er's vision was so good, and why they could pick Lin Chen's jade.
And what everyone can't figure out is how Lin Chen, a little gardener, got in love with the eldest lady of the merchant?
Lin Chen ignored everyone's gaze, turned his head to Jiang Ling'er and said, "It's late, I'll send you back." ”
"Do you have a driver's license? I should have sent you back. Jiang Linger said playfully.
"That's right, that's troublesome for Driver Jiang!" Lin Chen said with a smile.
The two of them left the hall laughing and laughing.
Xu Yourui looked at the backs of the two of them and bit her lip: "What kind of ability do you have, how can you possibly make Ling'er fall in love with you and be appreciated by Miss Shang?" ”
……
It was already two o'clock in the evening when Xu Zhengguo returned home, and dealing with those enthusiastic bosses really made him a little tired.
He knew that the reason why he could be the center of the party tonight was because of Lin Chen.
In Xu Zhengguo's eyes, Lin Chen usually works quickly, is sincere and honest, and has great ambitions in his heart, he feels that this child will definitely be able to get ahead in the future.
If his daughter is in a relationship with Lin Chen, even if she can't be rich and expensive in the future, she can still have no worries about food and clothing, compared to the unfathomable depths of a wealthy family, he is still willing to let his daughter choose Lin Chen.
It's a pity that Xu Yourui can't look down on Lin Chen, and Xu Zhengguo is not reluctant.
However, today's incident completely subverted Lin Chen's image in his heart.
But he couldn't figure out why Lin Chen had something to do with the eldest lady of the business.
Thinking of the aquamarine magnetometer that was sent to his home before, he couldn't help but think about it again.
Originally, I wanted to go to Lin Chen to inquire, but after thinking about it, after all, the merchant was not something that their Xu family could touch.
"It seems that you can't treat Lin Chen as a gardener in the future." Xu Zhengguo thought silently.
At this time, Lin Chen was sitting cross-legged in the room.
He put the Imperial Spirit Wood sent by Shang Minghai before, as well as the ancient wood he got today, in his hand.
Then with a thought in his mind, a ball of true fire appeared in his hand, which was the true yuan fire of the refiner, which was specially used to refine magic weapons.
After a few minutes, the two pieces of Imperial Spirit Wood slowly melted under the true fire, fusing together to form a puddle of black liquid.
Lin Chen urged the true fire again, and the black liquid slowly condensed into a black ball the size of a thumb.
After the refining was completed, Lin Chen condensed the true element, drew the formation on the black ball, and before he knew it, the sky was bright, and less than one-tenth of the work was completed.
Seeing that it was dawn, he was not ready to sleep anymore, and went out of the room to wash.
That's when I received a strange phone call.
"Mr. Lin? I'm Wei Jun. ”
"Wei Jun? Have you been discharged from the hospital? Lin Chen still had a good impression of this future underground king of Zhongzhou, after all, he was also injured for his own affairs, so he cared.
Wei Jun smiled heartily: "Thank you Mr. Lin for your concern, it's just some flesh wounds, I heard that Mr. Lin personally took action to abolish the fugitive, it's a pity that you didn't see it with your own eyes." ”
"Don't shoot the sycophants, what's the matter with calling this time?" Lin Chen knew that Wei Jun would not bother him for no reason.
"That's right, my boss Gao Tianxiang and Li Shoufu want to develop a piece of land with a boss from Fengming City, and the boss invited a master to arrange a formation for the land to reconcile feng shui, and come over in about three days, isn't Mr. Lin inquiring about a feng shui master, so I called to ask."
"Feng Shui Master?" When Lin Chen heard that it was a feng shui arrangement, he immediately lost interest.
"It is said that he is a master, and he is very famous in Jiangbei County, and the formation arranged is very smart." Wei Jun explained.
"Okay, then I'll take a look."
Lin Chen didn't think that a master who showed Feng Shui to a wealthy businessman would have any skills, but since this person could arrange the formation, then he should still have some inheritance.
It doesn't hurt to check it out.
