Chapter 272 Return to the Black Market



Innate spiritual bodies may exhibit outstanding abilities in certain aspects, such as a strong control over specific elements or an advantage in cultivating specific techniques, but these abilities usually have certain scope and limitations.

The probability of an innate spiritual being is extremely low; it is a very rare existence among all living beings, possibly one in ten thousand or even less.

However, the innate chaotic spirit body is even more special and powerful. It is believed that, based on the innate spirit body, it contains chaotic power. This chaotic power may endow the possessor with a stronger affinity for spiritual energy, higher comprehension, and more outstanding cultivation potential. Its potential may far exceed that of ordinary innate spirit bodies, often allowing them to reach higher realms and achievements on the path of cultivation, and may even possess some unique abilities or talents. It is an extremely rare and precious physique.

Due to the existence of chaotic power, the abilities of an innate chaotic spirit may be more diverse and unpredictable. It may not only have a strong control over various elements or spiritual energy, but may also possess some extraordinary abilities, such as a certain understanding or application of the laws of spacetime and causality, or the ability to integrate multiple different powers for its own use.

The innate chaotic spirit body is even rarer, perhaps one in a hundred billion people. Its rarity far exceeds that of the innate spirit body, making it an extremely rare and special constitution.

...

The next morning, sunlight streamed into the room through the gaps in the curtains, waking Lin Yunfeng and Zhao Xi to the chirping of birds outside. They stretched and prepared to begin their new day.

Lin Yunfeng put on his clothes, walked to the window, took a deep breath of fresh air, and then knocked on Zhao Xi's door: "Xi Xi, let's go for a walk in the street today and buy some daily necessities."

Zhao Xi had just gotten up. As she opened the door, she smiled and nodded at Lin Yunfeng, saying, "Okay, I also want to see what the market here is like."

After washing up, the two went to the living room and found that Dong Xiulan and Lin Jianguo were already preparing breakfast.

Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun also brought Gu Nianqing, who had eaten and drunk her fill in the space, out of the room.

This morning, when Lin Qing was making formula for Gu Nianqing, Gu Nianqing refused to drink it no matter what. It wasn't until Lin Qing ladled out a small bowl of rice water and fed it to Gu Nianqing that she finally drank it.

Lin Qing smiled and said to Gu Nanxun, "It seems this little guy wants to eat."

Gu Nanxun smiled and said, "After tasting the delicious food, who would want to eat bland milk powder again? How about I make Nianqing a bowl of steamed egg custard for lunch?"

Lin Qing smiled and nodded. Upon hearing this, Gu Nianqing's expression brightened even more. Thinking about being able to eat steamed egg custard, which she had never heard of before, at noon, Gu Nianqing wished time would pass even faster.

"Qingqing, you're awake."

When Zhao Xi saw Lin Qing, she quickly stepped forward and took Gu Nianqing out of Lin Qing's arms.

"I'll hold Nianqing for you, you should go wash up!"

Zhao Xi continued.

After Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun finished washing up, Dong Xiulan brought breakfast to the table, and everyone sat around the table chatting and eating.

After breakfast, Lin Jianguo went to work, and Lin Yunfeng and Zhao Xi also rode their bicycles to play in the street, leaving only Lin Qing, Gu Nanxun, and Dong Xiulan with Gu Nianqing.

"Qingqing, I'll watch the children for you, you two go and have some fun!"

Dong Xiulan smiled and took Gu Nianqing from Lin Qing's arms.

Lin Qing nodded: "Okay! Then I'll take Nanxun out for a walk. Mom, if we're not back by noon, you don't need to wait for us."

"Okay, I got it. You guys go have fun."

"Mom, this is Nianqing's milk powder. If you have time at noon, you can make some steamed egg custard for Nianqing."

After saying that, Lin Qing pinched Gu Nianqing's cheek and said with a smile, "Be a good girl and stay at home with Grandma. Don't be naughty. Mom will bring Nianqing something delicious when she comes back!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Nianqing gave Lin Qing a big smile and nodded repeatedly.

Lin Qing couldn't resist pinching Gu Nianqing's cheek again before walking out of the house with Gu Nanxun.

Perhaps because it's close to the Lunar New Year, the streets are bustling with people.

Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun shopped for a while and bought some daily necessities and ingredients.

As they strolled around, the two arrived at the entrance to the black market.

Lin Qing beckoned mysteriously to Gu Nanxun, then took out two silk scarves from her basket, handing one to Gu Nanxun and keeping the other for herself.

Then Lin Qing quickly wrapped her hair up, and then took out a silk scarf to cover her entire body below her eyes, leaving only her eyes exposed.

Seeing this, Gu Nanxun also wrapped his hair up, and then took the second silk scarf that Lin Qing handed him, and wrapped his face up as well, leaving only his eyes exposed.

Lin Qing smiled and said to Gu Nanxun, "Brother Nanxun, let me take you to see our black market. When I first came here, it took me several days to find it!"

Gu Lanxun nodded upon hearing this, reached out and ruffled Lin Qing's hair, rubbing away the silk scarf that Lin Qing had painstakingly wrapped around her head.

“Brother Nanxun…”

Lin Qing stomped her foot and clicked her tongue, then wrapped the scarf up again.

The two entered the black market.

The black market was bustling with people, a dazzling array of goods on display. There were old antiques and paintings, handmade crafts, and novelties collected from all over the world. But most abundant were various kinds of food: grains, both refined and coarse, meat, cloth, and live chickens, ducks, and fish…

Lin Qing skillfully led Gu Nanxun through the various stalls, occasionally picking up an item to examine it before gently setting it down. Anything she liked, Lin Qing bought without hesitation, without haggling.

"Brother Nanxun, look at this, isn't it interesting?" Lin Qing picked up a small wooden carving and handed it to Gu Nanxun.

Gu Nanxun examined it carefully, then shook his head with a smile: "I can buy it for Nianqing to play with."

Lin Qing smiled and nodded, happily making the purchase.

As they walked, they came to a stall selling used books. Lin Qing's eyes lit up, and she squatted down to start looking through them.

"Brother Nanxun, let's buy some books!"

After saying that, Lin Qing winked playfully at Gu Nanxun. Seeing this, Gu Nanxun also squatted down to help with the selection.

Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun spent a long time browsing in front of the stall, but Lin Qing still couldn't find anything she liked. So she smiled and shook her head, thinking that she had been obsessed. Every book she wanted was a banned book! How could anyone dare to sell them in broad daylight!

Having figured things out, Lin Qing stopped looking around and handed a few comic books to the stall owner.
