Chapter 12: Ascending to Tianzhen (Seeking Collection)

  Dengtian Town is a small town established by Leiyan Sect specifically for the cultivators who come to participate in the entrance assessment. It was originally nameless, but because many cultivators joined Leiyan Sect from here and rose to fame, becoming figures of admiration, the name Dengtian Town spread after someone called it that.

  Dengtian Town may be just a temporary small town, but in fact, every time Lei Yunzong recruits disciples on a large scale, it becomes extremely lively.

  Here, not only are there cultivators from all over who want to join the Lei Yan Sect, but also many people who have spotted this business opportunity and come to make a profit.

  At the entrance of Dengtian Town, some disciples of Lei Yunzong registered for the cultivators who were about to enter Dengtian Town and issued number plates to those who participated in the assessment. These number plates not only facilitated the statistics of the subsequent assessment but also allowed them to live in houses with corresponding number plates inside Dengtian Town.

  Of course, this number plate is also particular. If the number is within a thousand, you can live in a separate small house with a simple formation array in the town. Otherwise, you can only share a room with others. However, to get this number plate, you naturally need to buy it with spirit stones, one number plate costs thirty spirit stones.

  Lin Tianyang naturally wouldn't care about this one-point spiritual stone, so he bought one very readily. He took it over and looked at it - number 369, three six nine, quite smooth-sounding.

  After putting the number plate into the storage bag, Lin Tianyang walked into Dengtian Town.

  As soon as he entered, Lin Tianyang thought he had arrived at a large market. The roads on both sides were lined with monks selling goods, and after walking in for a while, he could see many shops. Of course, the Lei Yan Sect would not miss this opportunity, and the largest one was set up by the Lei Yan Sect itself.

  Because there was still more than half a month before the sect's assessment, and the three-month deadline for Tongtian Tower had also arrived yesterday, Lin Tianyang did not have the intention to watch the excitement after entering here, and directly looked for his own small house.

  Before long, Lin Tianyang found a small stone house with the number 369 on it. He took out his own number plate and removed the ban on the stone house. After that, Lin Tianyang went in and then restored the ban again.

  The space inside the small stone house was not large, except for a stone bed, a stone table and several stone stools, there was nothing else. However, Lin Tianyang didn't care about these things, as long as he wouldn't be disturbed, it was a good place. He sat directly on the stone bed, meditated and adjusted his breath for a while, then entered the Tongtian Tower directly.

  Seven days passed in a flash, and after Lin Tianyang used the sixth Heaven-Defying Order of the month, his face looked somewhat unsightly. Apart from continuously fighting in the Heaven-Defying Tower for seven days, the harvest of spiritual grass was far from reaching his expectations, which was the main reason why he felt a bit depressed.

  These few times entering Tongtian Tower, the Tianling fruit was picked in abundance when it was ripe, but the originally scarce Ziyu flower only managed to pick one strain. This is really depressing for Lin Tianyang who wants to open the furnace and refine the Zhugidan.

  After spending two days recovering from his spiritual exhaustion, Lin Tianyang finally walked out of his stone hut.

  Compared to nine days ago, there are many more people in Dengtian Town. Originally, only the road leading into town had vendors setting up stalls, but now Lintianyang has discovered that even outside his own stone house, there are several.

  After coming out of the stone house, he walked curiously to a stall and looked at some things on the ground, asking: "Friend, why don't you set up your stall on the main road? There aren't many people passing by here!"

  When Lin Tianyang asked, the stall owner smiled wryly and said: "It seems that you don't know that setting up a stall on the main road requires renting a stall with spirit stones? I don't sell many things, going there is not worth it, selling here can be sold, if not sold, it doesn't matter, just passing the time!"

  Just out of Tongtian Tower, Lin Tianyang got a lot of things he couldn't use himself. Hearing him talk about setting up a stall, Lin Tianyang thought that if he rented a stall, maybe those things could be sold for a good price.

  After inquiring about where to pay the spirit stone, Lin Tianyang quickly passed through some houses and arrived at the main road, following which he found the place mentioned by the stall owner. After paying ten pieces of spirit stone to a disciple of Lei Yan Zong, Lin Tianyang soon obtained a pretty good stall location not far from the entrance of Deng Tian Town.

  Lin Tianyang took out a white cloth from the storage bag and spread it on the ground, then took out one by one the things he didn't need from the storage bag, and soon the white cloth was filled with all sorts of items.

  In order to sell things as soon as possible, Lin Tianyang took out a bottle of Qingling Dan that was no longer the best for himself and started calling out.

  As soon as someone heard that the stall was selling Qingling Dan, a lot of people gathered around. Lin Tianyang intentionally set the price of Qingling Dan very high, and many people asked about it but gave up after hearing the price. However, because there were so many people gathering around, other items were quickly sold out in large quantities.

  "Huh, Brother Lin, are you selling Qingling Dan here?"

  After two hours, when most of the items had been sold, Lin Tianyang suddenly saw Fang Jin appearing in front of him. Beside Fang was a man in his twenties, whom Lin also recognized as Leng Qingfeng from the Leng family!

  "Brother Fang, I didn't expect to run into you here! Did you come with Brother Leng?" Lin Tianyang said with a smile as soon as he saw him.

  Fang Jin smiled and nodded, "Yes, I had already made an appointment with Leng brother. Earlier, I heard someone say that someone was selling Qingling Dan here, so I came to take a look. I didn't expect it to be you, Lin brother. But why do you want to sell this kind of dan medicine that can improve one's cultivation? Are you short on ling stones?"

  Although the Qingling Dan is most effective for cultivators at the 8th or 9th level of Qi Refining, it also has a certain use for those who have reached the 10th level. Generally, cultivators would not be willing to take it out and sell it, but for Lin Tianyang, this thing was somewhat useless now. Of course, facing him, he couldn't say that he had something more suitable for himself, the Hansheng Dan. Looking at the desire in Fang Jin's eyes for that bottle of elixir, Lin Tianyang smiled and said: "If Brother Fang wants it, 300 spirit stones will do!"

  "What? You're willing to sell it to me for just 300 spirit stones?" Fang Jin said with some surprise.

  Lin Tianyang was about to say a few words of goodwill, when a cold voice suddenly shouted: "Hold on, earlier I wanted the Qingling Dan, you insisted on selling it for 500 Ling Stones. Now that I've finally managed to get the Ling Stones, you're selling it to him for 300 Ling Stones? Who does business like this?"

  Lin Tianyang looked at the person speaking, a man who was at most one or two years older than himself, but his cultivation had already reached the 12th layer of the Refining Qi stage.

  However, his cultivation was slightly higher than his own, but his tone of speech was extremely arrogant, which made Lin Tianyang dissatisfied. So he also said bluntly: "I sell to strangers for 500 spirit stones, but this is my friend, so the price is naturally different!"

  Lin Tianyang's words actually made sense, but the man's face turned gloomy after hearing them and said: "What if I'm willing to pay 500 spirit stones for it?"

  Although it's not bad to earn two hundred more spirit stones, in the future when I'm alone in Leiyan Sect, I'll need one or two reliable companions. Since Fang Jin has a hometown connection with me, if I give him some benefits, he should become my ally. So Lin Tianyang shook his head and said: "Sorry, this elixir is something my friend wants, so I've decided to sell it to him!"

  The man suddenly became angry upon hearing this, and scolded Lin Tianyang loudly: "You ungrateful thing, I think you don't want to drink the respectful wine but instead want to drink the punitive wine?"
