Taoist companion helps me cultivate immortality

No, can this be called a defective product?

Between you and me, one of us must have some misunderstanding about defective products.

This is basically a genuine first-grade low-level spiritual weapon!

It's just that the materials seem to be a bit poor.

This kind of stuff can be made at the second stage of Qi Refining. It seems that this handsome guy has some talent for refining equipment.

The boss was relieved and said, "If you have more than three items, you can pay with spirit stones."

Lin Ye nodded: "I have eleven."

"Wow, this boy is quite hardworking!"

The boss smiled: "Three pieces of this quality can be exchanged for one spirit stone. Eleven pieces... I'll give you four spirit stones. Just to show you what I'm like."

"My name is Zhao Lingbao, and I'm stationed at this stall."

Lin Ye clasped his fists and said, "Friend Zhao, my surname is Lin and my given name is Ye."

After exchanging the spirit stones, they walked to a secluded place, and Chu Yingying finally opened her mouth, having been hesitant to speak.

"Friend Lin, how come you only sold eleven pieces?"

"We still have a lot of..."

"Hush..." Lin Ye whispered, "Don't make it public. We will sell it in multiple locations."

"Oh~oh!"

Chu Yingying didn't know much about refining equipment.

But she knows how to sell stolen goods!

So I understood it quickly.

Besides, she finally discovered it now.

The one hundred and twenty "defective products" that Lin Ye placed in her space token were a bit abnormal in number!

Otherwise, why would they need to sell them in batches in this almost stolen goods manner?

The Huansufang Market covers a large area.

Lin Ye would never sell his weapons in big stores controlled by the sect. Instead, he traded at several small stalls and with private buyers. It took him an entire afternoon to sell all the defective and low-level spiritual weapons.

A total of 45 low-grade spirit stones were obtained.

Chu Yingying was stunned: "Each transaction doesn't seem like much... but when added together, it's actually this much!"

Lin Ye smiled: "Spiritual weapons are bulk commodities after all."

"Talismans, formations, and elixirs are more like daily necessities."

"So when we refiners are poor, we are very poor. When we have a market, we can still make more money."

Chapter 6: You're plotting against me, right?

Lin Ye, the leader in cheap home appliances.

The goal is to establish Xiaomi Company in the world of cultivation.

"Yingying, thank you for your hard work in protecting me all day long."

On the way home, Lin Ye expressed his gratitude.

Chu Yingying smiled and said, "It's not hard. I just think it would be great if we had two space props so we can sell the stolen goods separately."

"This isn't selling stolen goods...how come you are so skilled?"

"When you fight with others outside, you have to learn how to use your weapons."

"Besides, I can practice even if I'm standing outside."

Lin Ye's face froze.

Asshole, how can someone practice while standing...

Is this a top-grade spiritual root? I want one too...

It is said that spiritual energy will be close to this kind of cultivators and even spontaneously drill into their bodies.

So sour.

Lin Ye looked back at the Huansu Market.

What a great place, I can come here often in the future.

There are both cultivators and mortals here. It is truly a sinking market with a mix of good and bad people. Many people come here to sell stolen goods, which reduces the suspiciousness of Lin Ye's behavior to the minimum.

Nowadays, anyone can change their career to become a robber cultivator at any time, so it is normal to need to launder some dirty money.

It is even safer that these goods will eventually flow into the mortal world.

Chu Yingying praised honestly: "Although I don't want to admit it, but... it's quite amazing!"

Lin Ye's income successfully shocked her.

It took him only a month to do all this.

Calculated accordingly, the monthly salary is already at the level of a late Qi Refining cultivator who often fights with others!

Each cultivator has his own situation, but Chu Yingying can’t make money so quickly now.

Equipment refiners make money, but Chu Yingying feels that Lin Ye's speed of making money is...

Definitely not ordinary.

Is he really that good?

Could it be that being with me has stimulated his potential... hehe...

Chu Yingying smiled foolishly.

There was something she hadn't dared to tell Lin Ye.

Her gold spiritual root became a little stronger.

Although it wasn't much, she was certain that it had started during the time when her relationship with Lin Ye became close, and it was still growing stronger.

I didn't mention the topic of spiritual roots because I was afraid it might hurt others. I'll at least wait until Lin Ye's injuries are healed.

But Chu Yingying really felt...

It must be the benefit of her clear thoughts, or the special tacit understanding between their bodies.

The human body is amazing, isn't it?

Chu Yingying had thought that the magic weapons Lin Ye had made recently were just because he didn't want to give up the weapon-making technique after his body was injured, so he made some defective products to maintain the feel of the weapon. It was a touching act of strength despite a disability.

I didn’t expect that “defective products” could be so valuable.

So she has more of a mindset.

Lin Ye is so outstanding, how come he is not worthy of me?

So what do the neighbors say...

Really down!

So, on the way home, several neighbors on Raincoat Lane were glared at with even colder eyes than usual.

I secretly wondered if I had offended her in some way, and whether my head would still be on my neck tomorrow.

Lin Ye also greeted them briefly.

"Ah... why are you still here..."

"Daoyou, did I say I was going to return to secular life?"

Lin Ye smiled and left with Chu Yingying.

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other.

Oh no! This guy seems to have hooked up with a rich guy.

Relying on that face, isn't he so handsome that it's unbelievable? I'm not envious at all.

Now I really have to consider whether I should move out of this alley...

If Lin Ye holds a grudge, it will be over.

When I was almost at the door of my house, a group of monks suddenly came towards me.

"Fellow Daoist Gu."

"Fellow Daoists."

Lin Ye did not dare to be negligent and greeted everyone.

The leader of this group of cultivators is the only cultivator in the late Qi Refining stage in Raincoat Lane, and the person who is "in charge of this place". He has also organized people to hunt down the group of robber cultivators that have been rampant in the streets recently, and following behind him are all team members.

Lin Ye quietly looked at everyone, and suddenly noticed the heavy footsteps and broad shoulders of a follower behind Gu Daoyou...

Lin Ye's face remained tense, but goose bumps appeared all over his body. He thought to himself:

"Why...why would you plot against a low-level casual cultivator like me!?"

Fellow Daoist Gu nodded, ignored Lin Ye, and looked at Chu Yingying: "We have to deal with that group of Tribulation Cultivators."

"Friend Chu, are you willing to join?"

"...Sign me up and let me know when you start."

Thinking of the serious injuries suffered by Lin Ye caused by the group of robbery cultivators, Chu Yingying became furious.

"it is good."

In the eyes of Fellow Daoist Gu, a Qi Refining Stage 2 like Lin Ye was completely insignificant, and he didn't even look at him.

There is no way, I don’t have enough strength.

The two groups left at different places. Gu Daoyou's sister turned back curiously and looked at Lin Ye who was walking with Chu Yingying.

Chu Yingying smiled and said, "Gu Daoyou's sister is quite cute, isn't she?"

"..."

"Fellow Daoist Lin?"

"Can I talk to you for a moment?" Lin Ye held Chu Yingying's hand and quickened his pace.

After returning to the room, Lin Ye immediately took out a picture of a shoe print and let out a deep breath.

In one of his lives, Lin Ye worked at the sect's outer gate patrol station and had extensive experience in criminal investigation.

Low-level Qi-refining cultivators don't have any sophisticated means of concealment, so Lin Ye can judge the suspect's identity by the width of his shoulders, his pace and his footprints.

I just saw one of Fellow Daoist Gu's followers, and he was exactly the same size as the masked monk who took away all his spirit stones.

After checking the footprints again, he was already 90% or even 100% sure that—

"I saw the person who extorted my spirit stones. He is in the team that is exterminating the robbery cultivators."

Chu Yingying asked in surprise, "Are you in the same group as Jie Xiu?"

"Is there a mole?"

"Yes, but there is another possibility."

"Not only are the people who robbed the cultivators and extorted them the same group, but Fellow Daoist Gu is also in the same group with them."

Although Sanbai Lane is just a gathering place for independent cultivators, it also pays rent to the Qingyang Sect.

It is normal for monks to fight to the death, but if a massacre breaks out, the sect’s inspection office will definitely come to investigate.

Therefore, the behavior of Gu's gang was even more suspicious, as it seemed like a thorough plunder without attracting the attention of Qingyang Sect.

"No wonder that group of robbers rarely kill people and only loot spirit stones!"

"Is Mr. Gu trying to collect spirit stones for the foundation-building pill?"

Chu Yingying raised her eyebrows.

"Probably."
