"Shopkeeper, I'm not here about the Heavenly Secret Inscription. I have something important to discuss with you."
Lin Ye handed over the note written by the Demon Emperor's relative.
The shopkeeper's face went pale when he saw it.
Three thousand tickets...?
I'm afraid you probably have a share of that money in it too!
A flash of anger crossed his face as he said, "Young friend Lin, your demands are going too far. I cannot tolerate this any longer!"
"Don't forget... Wanbaolou can lift you up, but it can also throw you down."
Lin Ye's eyes turned cold as he said, "Shopkeeper, you've gone too far!"
“I am not representing myself, but my master, the builder of this flying boat.”
Gongshu Yan nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes!"
"At this rate, shopkeeper, you won't stop until you've sold at least 1000 high-grade spirit stones? Do you really think the Demon Emperor's clan can't do the math? We're only asking you for a share of 3000 tickets, that's too little!"
“If my identity as a rogue cultivator is exposed, he will have no more scruples and will have to ask your Wanbaolou for even more.”
Lin Ye said in a deep voice, "Shopkeeper, business comes first."
The shopkeeper choked.
Soon, the anger in his eyes dissipated like ice and snow melting away.
He handed the note to Steward Sun and said, "Go and do it."
"Yes, shopkeeper!"
Before leaving, Deacon Sun glanced at Lin Ye with a look of lingering fear.
Young friend Lin, you've got guts! If I spoke to the manager like that, I'd be kicked out of Wanbaolou long ago!
But when faced with young friend Lin, the shopkeeper didn't dare to argue back!
The shopkeeper regained his calm tone: "Three thousand tickets will be here shortly, young friend Lin, please wait here for a moment."
"This matter has been handled entirely according to your wishes, young friend. I was only doing this for personal gain, so please don't take it to heart."
"When your master reaches the Nascent Soul stage one day, don't forget our cooperation today."
"Pleasant to work with."
After the verbal exchange ended, Lin Ye had not suffered any loss.
He accepted three thousand flying boat tickets.
Before leaving, he also bought a huge piece of second-grade spiritual weapon material from Steward Sun.
As he left, holding his master's hand, Lin Ye felt a lingering fear.
Reflecting on it:
Since Young Master Chu's sudden death, I have indeed taken some risk with my methods.
It was like walking on thin ice, especially the matter of getting to know the Demon Emperor's relatives. If anything went wrong at any stage, the consequences would be severe.
Looking back now, I realize I was frightened by the shaman who came from the Great Wilderness; otherwise, although the gains might have been smaller, the response could have been more stable.
I never expected her to be a subordinate of that terrifying city lord.
Fortunately, Lin Ye had learned about the grudges between several border city lords in his previous life.
At that time, I (TM) will directly pledge allegiance to another powerful figure in the Great Wilderness who is hostile to the city lord behind her.
Lin Ye took a deep breath.
In the past, when I was following my master from my previous life, we would often do analysis and debriefing after major events to review whether there were any loopholes in the response measures.
Although this life's Master Gongshu is closer to me, his talent in weapon crafting even slightly surpasses that of his master in his previous life.
However, Master Gongshu was inexperienced in worldly affairs and therefore unable to participate in the discussion and review.
Lin Ye misses his master from his previous life a little.
In his previous life, knowing that he lacked the talent to reach the Nascent Soul stage in this life, he casually left some good things for his master at the cost of his life while manually restarting the game.
I wonder if accepting this favor will improve my master's goodwill towards me, who is practicing the highest form of detachment from emotions, or if it will leave me with a psychological shadow.
If only she had memories of her past life...
Go home.
"Fellow Daoist Lin is back?"
"The food is ready, come on over."
Lin Ye looked up and saw two Daoist partners coming up to greet him.
"I made some too, senior, please have a taste!"
Gu Yuesheng waved his prosthetic leg, seemingly in high spirits.
Lin Ye chuckled softly, feeling a warm glow in his heart: "I'll make you an even better set later... Who's going to ask the master to come over?"
"Let me do it! Please have a seat, senior."
......
evening.
After finishing, Lin Ye prepared to get up and refine weapons, and subconsciously opened the panel.

Lin Ye did the math.
Because both Master and Yingying have a positive impression of him, if he maintains a good condition, his metal-type spiritual root can break through to the superior grade within three months!
Lin Ye had already found his footing as he approached the late stage of Qi Refining.
Once a breakthrough is achieved, physical fitness will improve again.
Lin Ye's mind raced through a variety of ideas.
Master, you'd better wash yourself clean and wait for me...
Chapter 41 The Fire of the Candle Dragon - Candlelight Level
Jin Guang Fang.
The beds here are much bigger than those in Raincoat Alley.
When Lin Ye woke up in the morning, he found a Daoist partner sleeping on each side of him, with his arms being used as pillows.
He pulled his arm away, got up, and opened the window.
The weather is mostly cloudy today.
One of the thick, dark clouds was actually a third-rank flying boat sent by Lin Ye.
Not long ago, after completing its internal modifications, the flying boat passed the certification of the [Crane Formation], passed through the formation, and hovered at a high altitude, far from the ground.
Despite being a massive ship capable of housing ten thousand people, it still resembled a dark cloud, blocking out much of the sunlight.
Once people move in, the airship cannot shrink, otherwise it will crush the weaker residents inside.
The one from Demon Emperor Mountain thought it was good to leave it in its largest form.
In the eyes of the wandering cultivators of the Three Hundred Alleys, this flying boat that blots out the sun is highly symbolic. Although it is like a huge dark cloud blocking out the sun, it also represents the hope of escape.
Will the strongest pseudo-Nascent Soul stage ancestor of the Qingyang Sect be angry when he sees this ostentatious flying boat?
Getting angry won't help!
Anyway, the flying boat was parked outside the fourth-grade formation, the Crane Formation, so he couldn't get through.
However, it's quite unsettling if that pseudo-infant remains dormant.
In addition, Lin Ye is now very wary of the witch doctor next door.
When traveling, one must be extremely careful.
"Come again!"
A shout came from downstairs.
Lin Ye saw that Fellow Daoist Huo was sparring with two of his underlings outside the sentry post, and they were fighting fiercely.
Thinking that Fellow Daoist Huo had rushed to buy the boat tickets early on, Lin Ye felt a little embarrassed.
Buying now would actually be the worst possible outcome.
"Husband, you're awake?"
Chu Yingying opened her eyes, her large, tender eyes gazing at Lin Ye.
They were still using the same words they had used last night.
Lin Ye smiled and said, "How about we keep the way we address each other?"
Chu Yingying was stunned for a moment, then her face flushed slightly.
Continue calling him "husband"...
Isn't that just like an ordinary married couple?
"Fellow Daoist Lin, I'll go make breakfast..."
Lin Ye burst into laughter: "Why are you shy? It's fine to keep calling me husband, I think it's great!"
Chu Yingying was already blushing.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, I...I...I need some time to get used to it!"
She tiptoed to the kitchen.
Gu Yuesheng also woke up and rubbed his eyes.
"Good morning, Father."
She kept calling her by the same name as last night.
Lin Ye hesitated for a moment: "You... never mind."
"It's better not to keep it that way."
"Hey, why are you treating people differently, senior!"
"I'm worried about being seen as a pervert."
As she was getting up and changing her clothes, she heard Gu Yuesheng mutter behind her, "Isn't that senior just a pervert..."
Lin Ye raised an eyebrow.
He pushed her down onto the bed.
