I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 2000 Xuanyuan Jade

"My Lord, do you want to buy a slave? What type do you want? I'll give you some advice."

Seeing that Chen Lin wanted to buy, someone immediately came forward to ask.

Chen Lin glanced at the other party.

He is a fat middle-aged man who looks very kind, but he knows that there can be no good people in an organization that can transport so many prisoners of war.

"Is there anyone who is good at forging?"

Chen Lin asked casually.

Do as the locals do.

Although he was somewhat averse to selling people as livestock, he was not a pedantic person. Moreover, in the eyes of the people of Qi, Liang was an invader, and being able to enslave the people of the enemy country was a form of revenge.

"My Lord, do you want to buy a blacksmith? What level do you need?"

The fat man continued to ask.

Chen Lin was stunned.

He looked at the other party suspiciously, "Do you really have a forger slave here?"

In this world where martial arts is still prosperous, the status of blacksmiths is not low. Even if they are captured, they will not be sold at will, and it is even less likely that they will be transferred to the Southern Seven Counties.

The fat man chuckled.

“There are definitely no great ones, but there are some that are of average quality, but they are more expensive.”

"in addition."

The fat man continued, "We will just hand the slaves we sell to you. Whether you can control them depends on your ability. We will not be responsible if they run away."

"Is there no official contract?"

Chen Lin frowned.

If the slave is not registered, it may be troublesome to buy him. After all, he is not a powerful person and cannot pass the official inspection. It will be troublesome if he is charged with treason.

"There must be an official contract. We are a formal business."

The fat man immediately made a promise.

"But the people of Liang are barbaric by nature. Even if they are just women and children, it is hard to say that there is no possibility of escape."

Chen Lin nodded.

"Take me to see it."

An official deed is enough. Anyway, his main purpose is to find out the situation over there and the information of the Silver Spear Demon General. Whoever buys it can use it, and it doesn't matter if they can't use it and run away.

"okay!"

The fat man agreed, and with a smile on his face, he took Chen Lin to a row of makeshift sheds.

At this time Chen Lin discovered.

The conditions of the slaves in the shed were much better than those outside. Most of them were women with some good looks, and there were also some spirited children.

But they were all chained, with dull eyes and a look of having lost all desire to live.

Ugh!
Chen Lin sighed secretly.

This situation reminded him of Isa.

This is a world where the strong prey on the weak, and no place is immune. Whether animals or humans, mortals or cultivators, everyone must follow this rule.

If you are not strong enough, you will be bullied. The higher the level, the more intense the competition.

"Sir, these are all skilled in technology. Some are good at planting, some are good at breeding, some are good at prospecting and feng shui, and these dozen or so have the ability to forge."

After entering a shed, the fat man began to introduce them one by one.

Chen Lin took a glance.

Asked: "What's the price?"

"These are all top-quality goods, the minimum is three hundred gold each!"

Chen Lin said nothing.

The fat man rubbed his hands and said, "If you buy a lot, I can give you a discount. It's definitely worth it."

I thought about it.

Chen Lin walked up to the row of people chained together and said in a deep voice, "I only want three people who can forge. If anyone is willing to go with me, please let me know. This may be your only chance to gain freedom."

He couldn't stay here forever. As long as he left, the people he bought would be free.

If the other party voluntarily follows him, the risk of backlash can be reduced.

"Cough cough."

A withered old man at the edge opened his cloudy eyes.

Shaking, he looked at Chen Lin.

"Sir, is this old man's body worthy of your attention?"

Chen Lin's mouth twitched.

It looks so old and frail that even a blacksmith would not be able to make anything.

Being a blacksmith is a strenuous job.

The fat man reads people's expressions.

He immediately explained, "Sir, although he looks old, he is a warrior and can live up to 200 years. As long as he is well cared for, he can become strong and powerful, and his forging skills are not low."

Chen Lin was noncommittal.

Seeing this, the withered old man slowly closed his eyes again.

Followed by.

A few more people shook their chains to show that they were willing to be bought.

Sooner or later he will be bought anyway, just like anyone else. Although Chen Lin doesn't look like a descendant of a rich and powerful family, he gives people a kind impression.

"Then it's you three."

Chen Lin chose the three people who expressed their opinions first.

A haggard old man was among them.

He is a practitioner of destiny and likes to follow fate in doing things.

The old man seemed to have not expected to be chosen and looked a little surprised, but he didn't say anything. He stood up woodenly and walked behind Chen Lin.

"Your Excellency has good taste!"

The fat man flattered him and immediately asked someone to bring the contract.

"Three high-quality slaves who can forge, each worth three hundred gold. I'll give you a discount, eight hundred and fifty gold for all three. We'll pay and receive the goods."

Chen Lin didn't bargain.

He took out two money bags and threw them on the table, asking the other party to count them himself, while he asked about the situation of the three people.

But before I could ask anything, I saw a group of people walking towards me.

"Manager Qu, wait a moment!"

A man in a white robe walked quickly up to the fat man.

Pointed to the handsome young man behind.

"This young master has bought all the technical slaves. The money has been paid and they can't be sold to anyone else!"

The fat man paused while counting the money.

He looked at the handsome young man, then at Chen Lin.

Pointing at the three withered old men, he spread his hands and said, "But Manager Huang is still very skilled, but these three have already agreed on the price, and the customer has paid. What do you think we should do?"

Manager Qu glanced at Chen Lin.

Seeing that they were not from the major forces in the city, he said indifferently: "The contract has not been signed yet, just return the money to them."

Chen Lin turned around after hearing this.

He raised his eyebrows and said, "What if I don't want to?"

After all, he is a powerful man who dominates the world. Although he needs to keep a low profile sometimes, he cannot be bullied everywhere.

"hehe."

Manager Qu chuckled.

Let the handsome young man behind him step aside.

He said to the three blacksmiths including the withered old man, "This is Xuanyuan Yu, the second son of the Xuanyuan family. As everyone knows, the Xuanyuan family is not only a blacksmithing family, but also has a strong background. Going there is much better than wandering around. Maybe you can even get rid of your slavery in the future. You can choose where to go."

This statement came out.

Everyone's eyes were on the handsome young man.

Chen Lin was even more moved.

The Xuanyuan family is a prominent family in the seven southern counties. They have several masters and are extremely good at forging magical weapons. Their level is much better than Zhaoji Trading Company.

"I know you."

At this time, Xuanyuan Yu walked up to Chen Lin and looked him up and down.

"If I'm not mistaken, you are Chen Lin, the son-in-law of the Gao family in Sanshan City, who is known as the magician?"

"It's the magician Chen Lin, but he's not the son-in-law of the Gao family." Chen Lin replied.

"Hahaha."

Xuanyuan Yu smiled, nodded slightly and said: "A real man has ambitions to go far and wide, marrying into a woman's family is indeed not what a man should do."

Then the subject changed.

"I heard that you can show more than a dozen kinds of grandmaster visions. I wanted to go to Sanshan City to meet you, but I didn't expect to meet you here. Can you let me open my eyes?"

"It's just a low-level trick. It has no power and is not worth showing off in front of Master Xuanyuan."

Chen Lin replied calmly.

He is not a monkey showman. Whoever wants to watch can watch. If he does not want to buy soft armor from the other family, he will not pay any attention to them.

"I can pay for it."

Xuanyuan Yu reached out and took out a gold note.

"Here is one thousand gold. Is it enough for you to show it once?"

"Master Xuanyuan is so generous!"

Chen Lin took the gold note in his hand without hesitation and said something flattering.

One thousand gold is not a small number. It can buy three blacksmiths and still have some left over. Not to mention using it once, you can use it for a whole day.

"Alright!"

Without waiting for Xuanyuan Yu to speak, Chen Lin's mind moved, and a huge thunder dragon appeared out of thin air above the other's head, roaring, opening its big mouth, and biting off the other's head.

Xuanyuan Yu was shocked.

He tried to dodge in a flash, but was a beat too slow and failed to avoid it. The giant teeth of the Thunder Dragon pierced through his head.

But no harm was done.

Xuanyuan Yu looked at the disappearing shadow of the thunder dragon and touched his head again.

After confirming that he was not injured, he exclaimed in amazement: "It is really so real, just like the internal strength is manifested externally. If someone does not know the inside story, they will definitely think it is the master's attack."

He was not the only one who was amazed.

The others were also surprised, including the slaves, who all looked curious.

The haggard old man at the edge had a gleam of light in his eyes.

"I am very interested in your trick, sir. Are you willing to teach me?"

Xuanyuan Yu made a request.

Then he added: "I'll give you money!"

Chen Lin pretended to hesitate and thought for a long time before speaking.

"This Thunder Dragon Technique is an advanced magic trick. Not only is its form lifelike, but it can also change size at will. If one can cultivate it to the legendary state of unity between man and nature, one can even make the magic trick turn fake into real. This is the secret of my sect that is never passed on..."

"Ten thousand gold!"

Xuanyuan Yu made an offer directly.

Chen Lin grinned.

As expected of a blacksmithing family, they are extremely wealthy and do not take money as money. Ten thousand gold coins are enough to buy a mansion in the city, but he did it just to learn a trick.

But he didn't agree.

He shook his head and said, "I don't need money. I heard that the Xuanyuan family is good at refining soft armor. I would like to ask you to make a set for me. The level must be up to the Grandmaster level. If you agree, I will teach you this trick."

"Grandmaster-level soft armor?"

Xuanyuan Yu raised an eyebrow.

"It's not impossible, but your one trick is not enough. The value is not equal. You need two more. No, three more."

"no problem."

Chen Lin readily agreed.

He knows a lot of low-level spells like Thunder Dragon Spell that look intimidating, and using them for trading is like a no-cost business.

pity.

There are very few people willing to pay for such a powerless trick, otherwise he would not have to worry about money long ago.

After reaching an agreement, Xuanyuan Yu turned his gaze towards the slaves again.

"We two are willing to join the Xuanyuan family!"

Among the three people selected by Chen Lin, except the withered old man, the other two stepped forward at the same time to express their opinions.

Slaves also have their own pursuits.

The Xuanyuan family is well-known, and Xuanyuan Yu's behavior of treating money as dirt is enough to show that one can have a better life there, which is definitely better than following Chen Lin, this magician.

Xuanyuan Yu did not respond, but turned to look at Chen Lin.

The trick has not been learned yet, so we should consider the relationship between both parties and not let it become awkward because of such a small matter.

Chen Lin said indifferently: "I never force people to do things. Since they don't want to follow me, then you can leave them."

After saying that, he looked at the withered old man.

"What about you? Will you follow me or go to Xuanyuan's house?"

The withered old man raised his eyelids and said weakly: "I am the same wherever I am. Since you don't mind, I will stay with you."

Chen Lin looked at Xuanyuan Yu again.

Xuanyuan Yu waved his hand and said, "Then it's settled. Recently, there is a great demand for weapons, and my family is really short of manpower. Otherwise, I wouldn't have fought with Brother Chen for it. You don't have to pay for that servant. I'll give it to you as a gift."

"Thank you very much."

Chen Lin cupped his hands and thanked him.

He secretly decided in his heart that he should have a good relationship with this young man. He was simply a walking gold mine and could save him time in making money.

Delivery completed.

Chen Lin and Xuanyuan Yu agreed on a time and place to meet, and then left the shed with the haggard old man.

It was impossible for him to teach the trick to the other party before he got the soft armor.

"What's your name?"

Chen Lin asked as he walked.

"Lucius."

The old man was simple and direct.

Chen Lin didn't take it seriously and continued asking.

"How old are you?"

"eighty eight."

"Is he a warrior? What is his level? What kind of skills did he practice? Why was he captured?"

"I have just started practicing the Great Opening Stele Palm. I am not a soldier of the Liang State, but a member of a tribe living in the mountains near the border. The Qi army could not defeat the Liang State, so they captured us and sold us as prisoners of war for money."

Chen Lin stopped.

"Aren't you a soldier from Liang?"

Seeing the other party nod, he frowned and asked, "What about the others? Is it the same?"

He wanted to know the situation on the border and information about the Silver Spear Demon General, which ordinary people probably wouldn't know.

"it's the same."

The old man looked at the people around him.

He said in a deep voice: "The so-called prisoners of war and slaves here are mostly civilians from the border areas, and some are even from your Qi State. The Qi soldiers can even do such things, and no one cares. It would be strange if the country didn't perish."

"How much do you know about the war? Have you heard of a general in Liang State called the Silver Spear Demon General?"

Chen Lin continued to ask.

Whether Qi State was destroyed or not had nothing to do with him, and it might even be beneficial to his plan to change the world.

"heard about it."

The old man's answer cheered Chen Lin up.

He immediately ordered: "Tell me about this person's situation, is he a man or a woman, is there anything unusual?"

"Women cannot be generals. This is the same rule in Liang and Qi. In addition, the top martial arts in the world are all created for men. It is difficult for women to reach the level of Grandmaster. Therefore, the Silver Spear Demon General that the Lord mentioned must be a man."

"As for the abnormality."

The old man hesitated for a moment, "I just heard that this man is a master at using troops, has strong personal combat capabilities, and knows a mysterious finger technique. I don't know anything else."

Chen Lin was a little disappointed when he heard the old man's answer.

It is still not certain whether the Silver Spear Demon General is the Silver Fairy.

If it really doesn't work, you can only find a way to contact the other party or go there in person.

"grown ups."

Old Lucius hesitated for a moment, then suddenly lowered his voice.

"I know there is a special person among these slaves, who is hiding a huge secret!"
