Seeing that Shen Lian still had a skeptical attitude, Manager Lin did not say much, but instead pretended to be profound.

"How can I believe that what you said is true?" Shen Lian said.

The dragon blood can help Sanqian awaken his bloodline, and can also be used by him to refine magical elixirs.

This thing is not easy to obtain. There are many third-level monster kings, but there are not many third-level dragon monster kings. The bloodlines of other dragon monsters are too poor.

"You are worrying too much, my Dongting Waterside Pavilion is our signboard, what is there to be untrustworthy about?"

Shen Lian didn't know how to respond to this.

As an outsider, how could he know whether the Dongting Waterside Pavilion’s signboard was strong enough?

“I don’t know how long it will take, or how much the deposit will be.”

"Two to three years, and a deposit of 200,000 low-grade spirit stones."

Shen Lian raised his eyebrows. The deposit of two hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones was not too much, but it took a little long.

"Too long." He shook his head gently, and then said: "Why don't you take out the blood essence of the third-level rock dragon in your pavilion and let us see it."

Shopkeeper Lin was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted.

"Please wait a moment, fellow Taoist."

Soon, Manager Lin came with a red copper bowl in his hand. There was a strong red fire jumping inside the copper bowl, and a small dragon could be vaguely seen swimming around.

"Fellow Daoist, please look."

Shen Lian's spiritual thoughts fell into the copper bowl, and a mass of dragon blood that had solidified like rock accumulated in the copper bowl.

The rock dragon lives in volcanoes. Once the blood of this dragon leaves the body, it will solidify like red crystal.

Shen Lian examined it carefully and found that the quality of the rock dragon's blood essence was quite good and could be used as one of the main ingredients in refining the mysterious elixir.

"How much is it?"

"Thirty thousand middle-grade spirit stones."

"I'll pay with low-grade spirit stones."

"Three hundred and fifty thousand low-grade spirit stones."

Shopkeeper Lin raised the price by 50,000 low-grade spirit stones without blushing or beating his heart.

"Can you tell me the origin of this Tongbo Rock Dragon Blood?"

"Don't worry, my friend. The source of this rock dragon blood is safe. The dragon skin has already been sold to my pavilion."

Shopkeeper Lin put the rock dragon blood aside and led Shen Lian to sit down again.

"Since you are unwilling to let my pavilion obtain higher quality dragon blood on your behalf, I do have a way to obtain dragon blood."

At this point, Shopkeeper Lin stopped talking and his eyes fell on Shen Lian.

The meaning is obvious.

Shen Lian understood what he meant, "I wonder how many spirit stones I need to buy this information?"

"Twenty thousand middle-grade spirit stones."

After saying that, Shopkeeper Lin added another sentence.

"This time, we only need middle-grade spirit stones."

Shen Lian took another look at Shopkeeper Lin. He was a fake pill cultivator whose strength should be three to four Qian Shi Zhenren. The demon pills he refined should be of good quality.

After thinking for a while, he said, "As long as the news is true, spirit stones are not a problem."

"The news must be true. I swear on my life. If it is false, I will die when the fake pill collapses."

Shopkeeper Lin raised his hand and formed it into a sword shape, then swore an oath solemnly.

"Well, now you can trust what I say, fellow Taoist."

Shopkeeper Lin narrowed his eyes and said, "I can see that you can't wait. Otherwise, you can let me do it for you. You only need to wait in Dongting Fairy City and wait for the goods to be delivered. It also saves you the risk of running around."

As Shen Lian waved his hand, a long river of spirit stones fell in front of Shopkeeper Lin.

There is a pile of low-grade spirit stones on the left, worth 350,000, and a pile of medium-grade spirit stones on the right, worth 20,000.

Shopkeeper Lin directly put the 20,000 medium-grade spirit stones into his storage ring, and then took out a jade slip and pressed it on his forehead.

Soon, Shen Lian took the jade slip and sensed only three words in it.

Canglan Mountain.

"What is this place?"

Shen Lian had some doubts. He thought that the information provided by Shopkeeper Lin would be the same as what he had learned in other treasure pavilions before, that there was a demon king of a certain rank in a certain place.

But I didn’t expect it to be just a place name.

This made him doubtful.

Shopkeeper Lin smiled and said, "You will know this place if you ask around."

Seeing Shen Lian leaving, Shopkeeper Lin walked to the window sill humming a little tune, watching Shen Lian's figure gradually disappearing on the street.

At this time, a figure came from behind him.

"Uncle Lin, this person is also a Jindan Zhenren. If he knew that you cheated him like this, would he retaliate against us?"

Shopkeeper Lin didn't even turn his head, "What do you mean by a trap?"

“This is called information asymmetry!”

"In business, it is important to have both parties be willing to fight and be beaten. I have news and he wants news."

"I asked him to give me 20,000 spirit stones and he gave it to me. How can that be considered as cheating him?"

"Besides, I was not wrong about Canglan Mountain. Whether he can obtain dragon blood depends on his ability. If you want to blame someone, just blame him for not knowing Canglan Mountain."

"Twenty thousand mid-grade spirit stones. I'm helping him gain experience."

"As for looking for trouble..."

"Humph, as the owner of Dongtian Waterside Pavilion, how can I be offended by a mere foreign golden elixir?"

As he spoke, Shopkeeper Lin walked to the table and looked at the spirit stones piled up like a small hill.

"Put these spirit stones away and store them in the warehouse."

"I haven't seen such a visitor in many years. Can you blame me for this?"

From the moment Shen Lian came in and asked for dragon blood, Shopkeeper Lin realized that Shen Lian was definitely an outsider.

Moreover, they came to Dongting Fairy City from a very far place, so far away that the area they were in was unclear.

In fact, I was almost always rushing along the way and didn't communicate with many monks.

Otherwise, it would be impossible that you have not heard of Canglan Mountain.

Coming from far away and not knowing the news, isn't this an opportunity to make a fortune that's right at your doorstep?

As for what happened afterwards, Shen Lian found out that he had been cheated, and he was not afraid even if someone came to his door.

In business, everyone is willing to fight and everyone is willing to be beaten. If you can't tell the difference, it's your own problem.

If you want to come and ask for advice, you must at least find out about Lin Jiasong's background first.

My ancestor, Lin Jiasong, has reached the great perfection of the golden elixir and is about to be promoted to the Nascent Soul stage. He is the chief cultivator of the Dongyuan Sect, the strongest of the three major sects in Dongting Fairy City.

He, Lin Jiasong's grandson, has the potential to reach the Nascent Soul stage.

His Lin family is the strongest family in the most powerful Jindan sect in Dongting Fairy City.

As a foreign monk, if he suffers a little, he will understand how difficult the journey is.

He believed that as a Jindan cultivator, he would definitely know what to do.

It is not worth it to mess with the wrong person for the sake of 20,000 medium-grade spirit stones, even if it means losing your head and body.

As for Canglan Mountain, that is the territory of the demon clan.

The Great Demon King Canglan, who dominates Canglan Mountain, is completely different from the demon kings in other places.

The human race hunted the demons in order to practice, refine weapons, and make talismans, and they fought to the death, causing bloodshed.

It is said that the great demon king Canglan was extremely distressed by the fighting and finally thought of a good idea.

Why fight and kill? In the final analysis, it’s all business.

Shedding and losing teeth are common phenomena among the monster race. It can take out the shed skins, bones and fangs of monster beasts and exchange them with humans for what it needs for cultivation.

In addition, every few dozen or hundreds of years, a demon king would let himself bleed a little, which would not only not have a big impact on himself, but could also be exchanged for other cultivation resources.

This is so good, why bother fighting and killing?

…

"He came from afar to buy the dragon's blood essence. He took out hundreds of thousands of spirit stones without blinking an eye. He must have quite a lot of wealth."

Lin Jiasong frowned slightly as he moved his fingers.

He could only sense that Shen Lian's strength was between the early and middle stages of the Golden Core. Even so, he, a fake Core, was no match for him.

"It's been so many years since I met such a wealthy Taoist friend who came from afar."

"This person should not be from a Nascent Soul Sect. The nearby Nascent Soul Sects should have heard of Canglan Mountain."

"Even if you were born in a remote area of ​​Nanping Territory, you should have heard some rumors about Canglan Mountain, unless it's not..."

"...Southern Continent."

Finally, Lin Jiasong's eyes lit up.

"Yes, it should be from the southern continent, and most likely it is not the golden elixir from the Yuanying Sect."

"I'm sorry, fellow Taoist. Who made you let the cat out of the bag?"

With a thoughtful look in his eyes, Lin Jiasong took out a jade talisman for sending messages.

…

After one stick of incense.

Yunhai Tower.

"What do you need, fellow Daoist? I have the Three-Patterned Pure Void Pills used for Golden Elixir cultivation in my building, and some for restoring vitality..."

The shopkeeper of Yunhai Tower looked at Shen Lian as he walked into the building and came forward to greet him personally. He could sense that Shen Lian was a Jindan Zhenren, but he couldn't clearly sense what realm he was in.

"Do you have dragon blood?"

Shen Lian looked around the store and asked.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he found that the shopkeeper was looking at him.

"Fellow Daoist, are you from another place?" Shopkeeper Yun looked at Shen Lian.

"Yes, I just arrived at your place after traveling all the way."

Shen Lian nodded without denying it.

"That's it."

Shopkeeper Yun led Shen Lian behind a screen at the back of the building and had someone serve spiritual tea.

"Please have some tea, fellow Taoist. Let's talk while we sip the tea."

After taking a sip of the spiritual tea, Shopkeeper Yun said, "It's normal that you don't know about this since you are from afar. You can go to Canglan Mountain to see if you have the third-level dragon blood."

Shen Lian put the teacup to his lips and asked in a curious manner, "Can you tell me where this Canglan Mountain is?"

He asked the question, but he was cursing in his heart.

Soon after listening to what Shopkeeper Yun said, Shen Lian knew where Canglan Mountain was.

Previously, he only knew about large areas in the Central Land. Canglan Mountain belonged to a small area. There were hundreds of such places in the Central Land. He did not pay much attention to it when he was collecting relevant information.

In addition, after he came out of the Cloud Fairy City, he disguised himself as a young cultivator along the way and sold some ordinary elixirs. He did not have much contact with the Golden Core cultivators.

Look, with just a little carelessness, he was caught.

The cultivators in the world of immortality are really smarter than monkeys.

It is said that.

Canglan Mountain is a model place for cultivating immortals where humans and demons can coexist peacefully.

Here, if you need monster resources, you don’t have to hunt them. As long as you have spirit stones and resources, the Monster King will bleed you right in front of you.

This was not a secret news, but he was actually cheated out of 20,000 medium-grade spirit stones.

There is no doubt that the first sentence he said after entering the Cave Heaven Water Pavilion, which was the need for dragon blood, made people immediately recognize that he was an outsider.

Moreover, the place is quite far away, but any local Jindan cultivator should know this rumor to some extent.

Therefore, I decided on a whim to trick him.

"&*……&……%&%……￥……&(dirty words)"

…

"Been taught a lesson."

Shen Lian cursed in his heart, but he maintained his composure on the surface. He put down his teacup and bowed to the shopkeeper opposite him to express his gratitude.

It was also his fault that he had purchased intelligence so smoothly before. The price of intelligence information is not constant.

In Shen Lian's opinion, 20,000 medium-grade spirit stones would not be a loss at all if he could buy them through the right channel.

In his opinion, anything that can be accomplished with spirit stones is not a problem.

But he didn't expect to meet someone who tricked him using the method he was best at.

Awesome! "It's just a matter of one sentence. You are too kind."

Shopkeeper Yun returned the greeting with a smile.

Then, Shen Lian asked, "Does Daoist friend have any thunder spirit stones in his building?"

"Some."

Afterwards, Shen Lian exchanged some Thunder Spirit Stones in Yunhai Tower, and the price did not let Yunhai Tower suffer a loss. After being cheated by Dongtian Waterside, he felt that the owner of Yunhai Tower was very kind.

…

"Twenty thousand middle-grade spirit stones, you really dare to ask for it, aren't you afraid of dying of starvation?"

Nearing evening, Shen Lian entered the 'Shui Ling' Inn to rest.

After coming out of Yunhai Tower, he wandered around the city again, buying spiritual objects while also finding out who had cheated him.

No wonder he dared to cheat him out of 20,000 spirit stones without blushing or feeling any pain.

It turns out there was someone behind this.

Lin Jiasong, the deputy manager of Dongtian Waterside, is from the strongest family in the most powerful Jindan sect here.

The Lin family also has a Jindan Great Perfection cultivator, who is said to have been preparing to overcome the Nascent Soul Tribulation for a long time. It is rumored that this person’s success rate in overcoming the tribulation is over 50%.

In addition, this person also has a grandson who possesses top-grade water and earth spiritual roots. The scales of both spiritual roots are close to ninety, and he also has the hope of reaching the Nascent Soul stage.

It is said that the cultivators near Dongtian Immortal City are all waiting for the ancestor of the Lin family to be promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, and then unify Dongtian Immortal City and advance to the Nascent Soul stage.

Speaking of which, Shen Lian has been cheated more than once or twice, and he has cheated others countless times.

Before, hundreds of thousands of low-grade spirit stones were spent in Lingyun Pavilion, but those spirit stones were exchanged for useful information.

Unlike this time, it was obvious that he thought he was a fool.

Moreover, after Mr. Lin cheated him, he would most likely scold him and say that he deserved it.

Then you act like you can't do anything to me.

This is so uncomfortable.

"I took out hundreds of thousands of spirit stones during the day, which was considered showing off my wealth. I wonder if this guy would still want to give me his heart and soul."

Shen Lian, who was meditating, suddenly opened and closed his eyes.

He was not overthinking it. This guy dared to cheat him so blatantly, so his appetite might be even bigger.

"Such a shrewd shopkeeper, who made a judgment based on a word I said and immediately decided to cheat me, should be able to guess where I came from."

After thinking for a while, Shen Lian combined all the information he could think of and felt that the probability of him being ambushed next was at least 70%.

Mainly because his character is so great.

Coming from far away, not just any far away.

Who could have thought that just one sentence asking for dragon blood would reveal his true colors.

"Although Dongyuan Sect is the only dominant sect, they will not take action in the city. They can only take action outside the city."

…

"Then let's try it and see if it works."

Thinking of this, Shen Lian did not stay in the inn any longer and headed out of the city under the cover of night.

When Shen Lian left, Lin Jiasong at Dongtian Waterside Pavilion immediately received the news.

"It seems that Fellow Daoist Li reacts quite quickly. Unfortunately, it's still a little late to leave now."
