Chapter 32: Old Horse Antique Shop

  "Mei'er, what is this Ling Stone?" I asked with some confusion, although it's been mentioned many times before, but who knows if its actual use is the same as what's written in books.

  "The Ling Stone is divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower. It can provide a large amount of spiritual energy, accelerating the cultivator's cultivation speed." Mei'er seemed to be very excited in her heart, it seems that this thing called Ling Stone has a great stimulating effect on her.

  "What are you still standing there for in summer? Hurry up!" Mei'er had just finished speaking when Lin's voice came from afar.

  "Right away!" I casually responded with a single word, carrying big and small bags towards Lin Jie, while thinking about Mei'er's words in my heart.

  Mei'er had said long ago that due to human pollution, the spiritual energy on Earth has become extremely thin. Although it's unclear how much spiritual energy is contained in low-grade spirit stones, from Mei'er's tone, it's definitely not a small amount.

  If Mei'er obtains this spiritual stone, then the seal on her tail will definitely be lifted even faster.

  "Lin Jie, I have something to attend to, you go back first!" He directly threw Lin Jie's "equipment" onto the car, feeling much lighter in body and mind.

  Lin sister heard what I said, her eyebrows furrowed: "What are you going to do?"

  "What's it to you?!" A roar in my heart, but a smile on my face: "Nothing, you know, I just found someone recently and want to buy her a gift." Made up an excuse, hoping Lin would leave first.

  Who knew, Lin Jie listened and her face lit up with excitement, she grabbed my shoulder: "You little rascal, not bad! You still know how to make girls happy." Lin Jie's chest was pressed against mine, due to malnutrition, I didn't feel anything, but the unique fragrance on her body made me have some impure thoughts.

  Sigh, if only it were a bit bigger. That's what I'm thinking.

  "Since it's a gift for a girl, I must bring my sister!" Lin said, closing the car door and walking away. This situation is not quite right!

  I made a wry face and hastily said, "No need for that."

  Lin sister stopped in her tracks, turned her head and looked at me: "How can a big man like you know what girls like? I'm just being kind!"

  Damn it! You leaving is actually good for me!

  "In the summer, I've already determined the location of the Ling Stone, it's in the southeast direction, about 36 zhang away from here!" Mei'er's voice rang out again, looked at Lin sister who was leaning on her, had no choice but to bring her along.

  "Off you go!" I said with a bit of annoyance, but Lin sister didn't mind at all, her face full of smiles, making my heart flutter, if only she had a different personality, but the key point is that her breasts should be bigger.

  Following Mei'er's directions, they soon found the place where the spiritual energy fluctuations were emanating from - Lao Ma Antique Shop.

  "Mei'er, are you sure this is the place?" someone asked uncertainly. After all, anything related to the word "gu" (ancient) wouldn't be cheap.

  "The aura fluctuation is coming from inside." Mei'er said with certainty.

  It seems like I really have to pay this time, hopefully it's not a scam.

  Sighed, pulled up his pants, and was about to go in when Lin sister suddenly grabbed me from behind.

  "You little rascal, you won't come in here, go buy something for your girlfriend instead?" Lin sister frowned, somewhat disbelieving, seeing me nodding my head, she slapped her forehead, seemingly very helpless, saying: "My summer brother, are you sure you're not joking? Even if you randomly buy a small trinket from a street stall, it's better than buying old things in here!"

  I dryly laughed twice, this matter really can't be explained, I could only casually say: "There are too many people buying those things, if you want to give them away, then give away some with new ideas!"

  "That's also true." Lin sister nodded after hearing it, this IQ is really worrying! Didn't say anything else, and went into the antique shop with Lin sister.

  The antique shop was very quiet, the table was covered with visible dust, and the cabinets were scattered with things, without any rules, as if they were put there casually.

  "In the summer, let's go to another store!" Lin sister frowned, with a face full of displeasure. No wonder, this store is really dirty. If my house didn't have those randomly thrown toilet paper rolls everywhere, it would be much cleaner than this store."

  "The weirder the storefront, the better things they can produce. Let's wait and see." I said to Lin sister, then I was about to find the boss, but I suddenly found that there was no sign of the boss in this store.

  "Is anyone there?" I called out tentatively, but no one responded.

  "Hey, come out and do some business!"

  "Coming! Coming!" This time someone responded. Before long, an old man in his fifties came out of the inner room.

  The face that was originally smiling, upon seeing me and Lin sister, flashed a hint of loss in her eyes, but immediately returned to a smiling expression: "What can I get for the two of you? Although my place is a bit simple, I have all sorts of famous calligraphy and paintings, Ming and Qing dynasty porcelain, ancient coins, and precious jade!" As she spoke, she used her sleeve to wipe away the dust on the table.

  "I'd like to take a look at the jade here," I said with a smile, although I had never seen that kind of spiritual stone before, but those spiritual stones written in it were all roughly like jade, and the spiritual stone in Mei'er's mouth should be among the jade in the store.

  "Follow me." The boss's face lit up with excitement when he heard I was looking for jade, and he brushed off the dust on his sleeve, gesturing for me to follow him.

  Lin sister saw the boss like this, covering her mouth and laughing lightly, I helplessly shrugged my shoulders and followed behind the boss.

  "This jade Guanyin is the treasure of our store, it's... " The boss was enthusiastically saying, but I shook my head. Just then, I had a mental exchange with Mei'er and learned that the spiritual stone wasn't very large, about the size of two thumbs put together. This jade Guanyin obviously wasn't it.

  The boss thought I didn't like it and picked up a jade flower vase from the cabinet: "Jade carved flower vase, made of Hetian jade, is a treasure in the imperial palace at the end of the Ming Dynasty!"

  I shook my head again, and the boss's expression wasn't very enthusiastic either. He stopped introducing one by one, waved his hand, and indicated that I could take a look around to see if there was anything I liked.

  No wonder the boss has this attitude, from the small shop full of dust, it can be seen that the business of this antique store is not very good. After finally waiting for two customers to come, they don't want this and don't want that.

  Plus, neither I nor Lin sister are very old, so this boss naturally didn't have any intention of entertaining us either.

  I pretended to look around for a suitable jade piece, but in my heart I was already communicating with Mei'er.

  "Mei'er, searching like this won't work. Can you sense the specific location of that spirit stone?" To be honest, this antique shop is really a bit of a scam. Things are placed randomly everywhere, and it's not easy to find that small spirit stone.

  "In the corner of the cabinet on the right-hand side." Mei'er spoke up after a while, and I looked in the direction she was pointing to see that there were piles of porcelain and paintings.

  Sighed, stretched out his hand and put it in, just as he did, a ring-shaped object was already on his finger.

  No big deal, I continued to explore, and soon my palm felt a chill, a small hard object was grasped in my hand.
