Ascending to Immortality by Slaying Spirits

Chapter 113 - Happy Deal
In Bitter Bamboo City, Lin Le squinted at the majestic city walls through the carriage window, then turned to look at the beautiful woman beside him:

"Can you enter the city without being detected? If not, wait outside the city. I'll come out as soon as I get my things."

Qingli shook her head: "It's alright. As long as we're in the same country, the imperial aura is the same. The imperial aura I've drawn is more than enough to cover up my own."

"That's good." Lin Le nodded.

Once the carriage entered the city, Lin Le and Qing Li went to a mansion.

At the Guan residence, Lin Le looked up at the plaque on the gate and then said to the guards, "I'm looking for Guan Wenzhong. Please inform him."

The servant glanced at Lin Le. Although he was handsome, his clothes weren't very nice. Was he seeking refuge with someone?
"Who are you, daring to address our master by his name?" The servants decided to test them.

Lin Le glanced at him: "Just go when I tell you to, don't talk nonsense."

The servant immediately broke out in a cold sweat. In his eyes, the sky turned blood red, and he could not even see Lin Le's face clearly. Only his scarlet eyes were extremely conspicuous.

"Yes, yes, I'll go inform them right away." The servant immediately turned and went into the courtyard.

Then a man who looked like a butler came out. He glanced at Lin Le and Qing Li and said, "I'm sorry, my master is working and won't be back until this afternoon."

"It doesn't matter whether he comes back or not, I just want my things." Lin Le looked at the butler, "Yunxiao Qingqi, are you ready?"

"This?" The butler looked at Lin Le's extremely confident appearance and was a little unsure for a moment. "I have to ask the master about this matter."

Lin Le nodded slightly: "It seems to be here. Take me to get it."

"This, I said I wanted..." The butler's words stopped abruptly, because he had witnessed the horror that the servant had just described.

The world was a blood-red color, with only those scarlet eyes standing out.

The butler swallowed hard; he felt that if he uttered even half a word of dissent, half of his head would fall off.

"I'll go get it right away, please wait a moment," the butler said.

Lin Le withdrew his stance: "Go."

"Yes." The steward returned to the courtyard and quickly brought out a jade bottle. "This is what you wanted."

The butler carefully handed the jade bottle to Lin Le.

Lin Le opened it and took a look. He inhaled deeply, and all the pure energy inside rushed into his mouth and nose, then was evenly distributed into his three secret realms.

The true qi circulated, quickly refining the pure qi into the already constructed tenth level of the building.

Lin Le tossed the bottle back to the butler and said, "Tell Guan Wenzhong that the items have been received by the people from the ancient tomb, so there's no need to worry about them."

"Yes," the butler said with a bitter face, wondering how his master had come to know such a fierce and menacing person. This murderous aura was so strong that it felt like even slaughtering ten thousand people wouldn't be as intense as him.

Lin Le turned and left with Qing Li.

"Where to next?" Qingli asked from the side.

Lin Le looked up at the sky and said, "It's still early, let's go shopping and sell some unwanted items."

"Okay." Qingli didn't mean anything by it, but was actually quite excited. After all, she was a snake demon before and had almost no chance to wander around human cities.

Lin Le looked around and asked a kind-looking man who had set up a stall, "Brother, where is the most bustling street in Bitter Bamboo City?"

The man was taken aback for a moment, then said enthusiastically, "Just keep going straight, cross two major intersections, and turn right at the third major intersection."

"Thank you." Lin Le took out a small silver coin and handed it to the man, then left with Qing Li.

The man looked at the small silver ingot in his hand and a smile appeared on his face.

On the other side, a tall woman rode her horse into Bitter Bamboo City and headed straight for the Demon Slayer Division.

As soon as she entered, she grabbed a small flag and said, "Tell me, have there been any major murders in the city recently?"

Xiao Qi looked at Song Shiyin, who was breathing rapidly, thought carefully, and then shook his head and said, "No, Commander Song."

"Nothing?" Song Shiyin frowned, then relaxed her brow. "That's good, that's good."

"Commander Song, didn't you arrest the main culprit in the Bailian County case?" the clerk asked curiously. Song Shiyin sighed, "Now it's not just Bailian County anymore."

Xiaoqi was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

"The magistrate and the county lieutenant of Qingye County have also perished." Song Shiyin turned around and said, as she needed to report this to Yan Xuandong.

The flag bearer also looked astonished.

In the study, Yan Xuandong's face immediately turned extremely ugly after hearing the news, because Yan Changchun was his nephew.

Bang! Yan Xuandong slammed his fist on the table in anger: "Outrageous! This audacious thug not only killed one county magistrate, but also dared to kill another! What is he trying to do, rebel?!"

“Lord Yan, the most urgent task is to impose martial law on the entire city, as the villains may have already entered the county seat,” Song Shiyin said, clasping her hands in a fist salute.

"What did you say?!" Yan Xuandong looked up and stared coldly at Song Shiyin. "That thug entered the county town?"

"Based on intelligence, that's most likely the case," Song Shiyin nodded. "He's determined to eliminate the enemy completely, and I'm afraid the Wei and Yan families in the city are already under his surveillance."

"Hahaha, good, good!" Yan Xuandong laughed in anger. "This villain really thinks our Demon Slayer Division is powerless? Men, bring the case files! I want to arrest this villain myself!"

On the other side, after arriving at the commercial street, Lin Le looked around a few times and then led Qing Li into a pawn shop.

"Young master, young lady, what do you need?" A waiter immediately came forward.

“Absolutely right,” Lin Le said.

The waiter immediately led the way: "Please, gentlemen."

Lin Le led Qing Li inside, and soon they met a refined middle-aged man.

"My name is Kang Ziming. I wonder what you two are here to do?" Kang Ziming said, cupping his hands in greeting.

"I'm selling the contents of the pouch along with the storage bag." Lin Le took out two brocade pouches from his pocket.

“Okay.” Kang Ziming’s eyes gleamed, indicating that it was a big order.

Kang Ziming quickly confirmed that this was indeed a huge order, one that exceeded his expectations.

"A total of 16,752 low-grade spirit stones." Kang Ziming's voice was somewhat hoarse.

He never expected to receive such a large order one day; his previous largest order was only a thousand spirit stones.

"Let's round it up to twenty thousand," Lin Le said without even lifting his eyelids.

"This...this..." Kang Ziming was somewhat at a loss for words, but finally he took a deep breath and said, "Okay."

"Change it to a mid-grade spirit stone," Lin Le added.

Kang Ziming's breath hitched, but he still nodded with difficulty and said, "Okay."

"Please wait a moment, I'll go get the money." Kang Ziming turned and left.

Soon after, Kang Ziming entered with a man of even more dignified bearing.

He looked at Lin Le: "This guest, is he the one you were just about to refuse payment to?

"It's me." Lin Le nodded. "Is there a problem?"

“It’s just that the item you’ve brought out is a bit too valuable,” the man said. “I need to confirm one more time that you’re sure you want to refuse it.”

"OK." Lin Le nodded.

The man took out a wooden box and handed it to Lin Le: "Please keep this safe."

Lin Le opened the wooden box, glanced at it, and put it away after confirming that everything was correct.

"Happy Trading."
