Chapter 50 Chapter 50 Old Friend



The family ethics tragedy of Xu Wei's family officially debuted half a year later, because Xu Wei died, and died of depression. He was already old and had a short life span. Because of the mess at home, he often drank to drown his sorrows, and coupled with his depression, he passed away in his eighties.

As soon as Xu Wei died, the battle for the family property began immediately. Not only Xu Jiaojiao jumped out, but also Xu Wei's relatives. Their ancestors were all from the same ancestor, and they also made great efforts in saving money to buy a house. They all claimed that they had a share of the house. The fight for it brought a lot of topics to the casual cultivators in West City. Even if Lin Jiang did not actively pay attention, he often heard stories about the Xu family.

"It's a mess, it's a mess, it's all messed up. People from Zhonghang Sect have come out, including former fellow disciples of Xu Dongyang's father, holding a bunch of IOUs, saying that Xu Dongyang's father had borrowed spirit stones from him before, totaling 70,000 to 80,000 spirit stones, and they want the Xu family to pay back the debt."

"He's been dead for more than ten years, and he's showing up now?"

"He said he went out to travel and perform tasks, and just came back."

"All kinds of demons and monsters have come out."

When Lin Jiang heard that the outer disciples of Zhonghang Sect had also joined in, he was shocked and speechless. Is it true that the IOUs written by someone who had been dead for more than ten years? The outer disciples of Zhonghang Sect are so rich that they can lend 70,000 to 80,000 spirit stones to others casually?

Even if Lin Jiang used his toes to think, he knew that this was a trap, and it was to plot against the Xu family's house.

The subsequent development was just as everyone imagined. The Xu family was dissatisfied at first and did not recognize the IOUs. However, the people from Zhonghang Sect applied for an appraisal, and a special appraiser appraised the authenticity. The result was naturally true. Not only was the handwriting real, but the soul mark under the IOU was also real.

Everything was true, and the Xu family had no ability to default on the debt, so they could only pay back the money. However, the Xu family had very little floating wealth, and most of their property depended on this house, so they could only sell the house.

Moreover, after learning about the Xu family's situation, the buyer also lowered the price, selling it at a price that was almost 20% lower than the normal market price. After paying off the debt, there was not much left, and only 10,000 or 20,000 spiritual stones fell into Xu Dongyang's hands .

"Xu Dongyang is in danger. A Qi training level 2 person holding tens of thousands of spiritual stones, isn't this courting death?"

Many people asserted that Xu Dongyang must be dead. It was a child holding gold in the market, which was the most dangerous thing.

After the Xu family sold the house, Lin Jiang met Xu Dongyang several times, but there was no news about him afterwards. No one knew whether he had left the city to make a living or died.

·····

"Senior, do you want to buy a talisman?"

One day, a female cultivator in the foundation building period stood in front of Lin Jiang's stall, staring at him for a long time, and Lin Jiang asked.

"I think you look familiar, like someone"

"Does it look like an old friend of yours?"

"Yes, a former neighbor, who also sells talismans like you"

"That's a coincidence, senior, why don't you treat me as an old friend and take care of my business"

Lin Jiang said with a smile, he also felt that the man in front of him looked familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"What's your name"

"Lin Yang"

"Surname Lin, how old are you"

"Well..."

"Tell me, I'll buy all your talismans"

"Okay, I'm thirty-three this year"

Lin Jiang replied immediately. This is his third year in the West City Bazaar. When he first came, he claimed to be thirty years old. This time he didn't tell others about his spiritual roots, and others thought he was a very talented casual cultivator. It is rare for thirty-year-olds to be at the ninth level of Qi training, but it is not uncommon, and it is not surprising.

"Thirty-three, that doesn't match up."

"Maybe I look like an old friend of yours. I have a common face. Someone said a few days ago that I look like his relative."

"Yeah."

"Senior, buy a talisman?"

The man nodded and wanted to leave. Lin Jiang shouted, "You liar, you said you would buy all my talismans.

" "Keep this talisman for yourself."

The man casually threw a spirit stone over, left a word, and left in style.

"What kind of person is this? He doesn't keep his word, and he's still in the foundation-building stage."

Lin Jiang muttered, forget it, he's too strong, he can't beat him, and he doesn't dare to pick a fight.

"Friend Lin, it's enough to get a spirit stone for free. He's in the foundation-building stage, and if he really plays tricks on you, there's nothing you can do about it."

"Yes, it's not a spirit stone for free,"

the vendors around persuaded him. He couldn't afford to offend someone in the foundation-building stage, and it was good enough that he gave him a spirit stone.

Lin Jiang would not really do anything, he just played up his character. This person looked very familiar. Lin Jiang suspected that he had met an old friend and was afraid of being exposed. Besides, his talismans were easy to sell, so he didn't have to chase people to buy them.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Lin Jiang closed his stall and went home. Coincidentally, he met the man at the door of his house. The two looked at each other and there was something wrong with the other party.

"Are you following me?"

"Senior, you are joking. I live here. If you don't believe me, please take a look."

Lin Jiang was afraid that the other party would misunderstand, so he quickly cast a spell to open the formation of his house. Lin Jiang clearly saw that the other party had relaxed his vigilance.

"Have you ever stayed in South City before?"

"Only a few times, never for a long time"

"Why not go to South City? The big bazaar in South City is the largest in Yunzhong City"

"It's too far away, it's troublesome to go back and forth, and it's too expensive to live there"

Lin Jiang answered immediately. This statement has been said many times. Someone asked before. The big bazaar in South City is indeed the largest, and there are the most independent cultivators and vendors gathered, but the rent is also the most expensive. West City is relatively cheaper.

The other party was silent for a while and didn't say anything. Lin Jiang felt that this person's personality was very strange, and he didn't intend to contact her, so he immediately walked into the house.

The big and small sand sculptures rushed over again. This has become a ritual for them to welcome Lin Jiang. Of course, their purpose is to ask for food.

"Can you please stop bumping into me in the future? You are second-level monsters. If my body is weaker, I will be hit to death by you, and you will starve to death by then. Do you understand?"

Lin Jiang took out the dried fish and fed them. They swallowed the two or three pounds of dried fish in one bite, without chewing, and asked for more after eating.

"I'll give it all to you. After you finish eating, we'll go fishing tomorrow."

Lin Jiang took out all the dried fish in the storage bag to feed them. They had a huge appetite. The two of them together needed nearly 200 kilograms of meat a day. Every one or two months, Lin Jiang had to go out of the city to get fish, and he had to return with a full load every time, otherwise he would have to spend money to buy them.

"Every year, I've been spending more than I earn. I only have more than 40,000 spiritual stones left."

Lin Jiang flipped through the storage bag. In the past few years, he had been spending more than he earns every year. He spent thousands more spiritual stones than he earned, and his savings continued to decline.

"I have to find an opportunity to go to the black market outside the city and clean up the spoils in the storage bag."

Lin Jiang looked at the spoils in the storage bag and planned to sell them. Starting with Mo Lin, Lin Jiang had killed many cultivators. Lin Jiang didn't touch anything on them except for the spiritual stones that had no marks, for fear of leaking the secret. But now he had no money, so he could only find an opportunity to sell them.

The next day, after Lin Jiang sold a few talismans, he went straight out of the city. With a higher level of cultivation, Lin Jiang went out of the city more often, and his safety was guaranteed to a certain extent. The

previous fishing spots were all occupied, but Lin Jiang was not annoyed and found other fishing spots. There were not many people fishing, mainly because it was difficult to make a living from this. The people in the fish gang all cast nets.

The place where Lin Jiang was now belonged to the Giant Wave Fish Gang. After annexing the Three Forks Fish Gang, the Giant Wave Fish Gang had become the most powerful fish gang near Yunzhong City, but it did not continue to expand. It was not known whether the sect behind it was unwilling for them to do so.

The fishery resources of Yuntuo River are very rich. Over the past hundreds and thousands of years, no one knows how many demon fish have been caught, but there are still countless demon fish.

"What a big fish"

In the afternoon, Lin Jiang saw a fishing boat passing in front of him, and behind the fishing boat was a fish that was bigger than the fishing boat, at least five or six thousand kilograms on the net.

"This is a second-level arrowtooth fish, the most powerful demon fish in the Yuntuo River. It looks like it must be a second-level top-grade fish. I heard that the Giant Wave Fish Gang has been eyeing it for half a month and finally killed it,"

explained a fellow angler. Many people were talking about this fish. This demon fish has been in the Yuntuo River for many years and has overturned several boats. It has been on the Yunzhong City bounty list and was finally killed.

The Yuntuo River is like this. Demon fish are allowed to exist, but powerful demon fish are not allowed to exist. Once they become powerful, they will be besieged by the immortal cultivation world. If they are not good enough in the Qi training stage, they will go to the foundation building stage. If the foundation building stage is not good enough, Yunzhong City has many Jindan and Yuanying stages.

When it was almost dark, Lin Jiang didn't catch much, so he simply bought all the fish from other anglers. Then Lin Jiang left the river and went to a village called Sanjiangkou.

There are a large number of immortal villages and towns outside Yunzhong City, which are controlled by different forces. These immortal villages and towns do all kinds of business, including the black market.

There are many black markets outside the city, and the Sanjiangkou black market is the largest and most reputable one. For safety reasons, Lin Jiang naturally chose the Sanjiangkou black market.

When Lin Jiang arrived, Sanjiangkou had just closed its gates. Most of the villages and towns outside the city have a curfew. Once it gets dark, the gates will be closed and the formation will be opened.

The black market is almost an open secret in Sanjiangkou. Lin Jiang just stayed in an inn and got specific information, and then went to the black market.

There is no difference between the Sanjiangkou black market and the fake black market in the city. Lin Jiang spent ten spirit stones, bought a cloak, and walked into the black market.

The black market outside the city is a mixed bag. Many things that are not allowed in Yunzhong City are allowed here. Almost everything is done without scruples. Some things Lin Jiang thinks are perverted. Lin Jiang is not going to play with these. He will just sell the things and leave.

An hour later, Lin Jiang cleaned up all the debris and prepared to leave the black market and go back to sleep, but just as he walked to the door, he suddenly heard a crisp sound, and then a body fell in front of Lin Jiang.

At this moment, Lin Jiang was dumbfounded.
