Chapter 34 Rock Master

Seeing the gray-clothed old man's actions, Lin Dong subconsciously wanted to dodge, but he was horrified to find that he could not move.

Not to mention Lin Dong, even Lin Changqiang who was standing next to him was a little worried. If he hadn't read the original novel and knew that the old man was kind and upright, he wouldn't be so reassured.

The old man’s finger stopped at Lin Dong’s brow. The next moment, he clearly felt the unusually active mental power in the latter’s mind. A hint of joy immediately emerged on his serious face.

"Little guy, are you interested in becoming a talisman master? I can accept you as my disciple." The tone of the gray-clothed old man was very calm, but he shocked the red-clothed girl and the brocade-robed man beside him.

"Talisman Master?"

Lin Dong was stunned. Although judging from the respect shown by others, the latter was obviously a well-known figure in Yancheng, Lin Dong was always wary of strangers, especially when it came to benefits that were delivered to his doorstep.

His fingers rubbed the palm of his hand imperceptibly, where his most important secret was hidden. He was not sure that he could hide his true identity in front of some truly powerful people.

Although Lin Changqiang knew what Lin Dong was thinking, and also knew that there was no one in the entire Great Yan Dynasty who could see through the ancestral stone, he did not intervene.

"Thank you for your kindness, old sir. However, my current strength is low. If I continue to focus on practicing the Way of Talismans, I am afraid that I will bite off more than I can chew. I hope you can forgive me."

Lin Dong looked at the old man apologetically, but what he said made the people around him look excited. Doesn't this guy know how many people in Yancheng want to become the old man's disciples but can't get the chance?
The old man in front of him was also obviously stunned for a moment, and then he said cheerfully: "The way of a rune master is not just to engrave runes on items. A truly powerful rune master can turn rivers and seas upside down with just a wave of his hand."

Unfortunately, the more enthusiastic the old man was, the less Lin Dong dared to agree. If he didn't have any secrets, he would be happy to get close to such a big shot, but unfortunately, he was not sure whether the person in front of him could detect his stone talisman...

Lin Dong considered it for a while, and finally declined politely: "Old sir, can you allow me to go back home first, discuss it with my family, and then make a decision?"

"Well, I'll do as you say. When you figure it out, you can bring this thing to the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce to find me. In addition, since we meet each other, it's fate. I'll give this thing to you, and it will also allow you to understand more about the Talisman Master."

The old man was obviously a little helpless, but he didn't say anything more. He took out a talisman and a dry book from his arms and handed them to Lin Dong.

“Thank you, old man.” Lin Dong carefully took the two things and stuffed them into the Qiankun bag he had just bought. Seeing this scene, Lin Changqiang’s heart also became hot.

"Then, we should talk about the loss." After saying that, the old man looked at the red-dressed girl with a blank expression. On the way here, his mental power had already discovered that the other party was the first to attack. "The loss of Qiwu Building today will be compensated by the party that attacked first, that is, your Liu family. Is that ok?"

Hearing this, the girl came back to her senses and nodded with a frown on her face: "In reply to Master Yan, we will definitely send the compensation as soon as possible."

While they were talking, Lin Dong and Lin Changqiang walked straight through the crowd, quickly walked out of the Qiwu Building, and then immediately ran back to the inn where the Lin family was staying.

After returning to the inn, Lin Dong finally breathed a sigh of relief. He then looked at Lin Changqiang unhappily and said, "You should have just taught that guard a lesson. Why did you make such a fuss? Fortunately, the old man was reasonable. Otherwise, I'm afraid we would have been left behind."

“Who told you to be my good brother~” Lin Changqiang looked at Lin Dong with pretended affection and said clearly, “I thought, if I wasn’t there at the time and Qiwulou didn’t have that rule, wouldn’t you have been beaten half to death? How could I tolerate that?”

Seeing Lin Changqiang's indignant expression, even though he knew that he was deliberately speaking in a cheesy way, Lin Dong was still deeply moved. Just when Lin Dong didn't know what to say, Lin Zhentian and others who had left earlier finally returned to the inn.

"Dad, what happened?" Seeing Lin Xiao and the others coming back, Lin Dong immediately changed the subject.

"Not bad. There is no shortage of buyers for Yang Yuan Stones, and the selling price is also quite reasonable. Three hundred Yang Yuan Stones were exchanged for a total of thirty-two Yang Yuan Pills." Lin Xiao patted Lin Dong's shoulder with a smile, and Lin Zhentian on the side also had a smile on his face.

Only Lin Changqiang's heart was bleeding. Three hundred Yang Yuan Stones, if all were given to Lin Dong to refine with the ancestral stone, they could be exchanged for one hundred Yang Yuan Pills! Of course, he also knew that this was unrealistic. With Lin Dong's cautious character, he would not easily expose his specialness.

During the conversation, the door was pushed open again. When they turned around, they saw Lin Mang walking in with a gloomy face.

"How are the sales of iron wood?" Seeing Lin Mang's look, Lin Zhentian frowned and had a bad feeling.

"Damn it, the price of iron wood has been forcibly lowered by 30%! It took me a lot of effort to find out that it was those bastards from the Lei family who were using their connections to disgust us!" Lin Mang was so angry that his nostrils flared and his breathing sounded like an air pump.

Hearing this, Lin Zhentian and Lin Xiao's faces darkened slightly. It seemed that the Lei family was determined to make things difficult for them.

"It doesn't matter. Let's not bother with them about Tiemu's matter for now. The most important thing now is to sell the Yangyuan Stone. We can settle other matters with them one by one later!" Lin Zhentian took a deep breath and finally endured it. As long as the business of the mineral vein was done, Tiemu would only be a small head.

"Yeah." Lin Xiao and Lin Mang also looked relieved and nodded.

"Now that everything is done, we should go back. We have deployed so many people this time, so we shouldn't stay outside for too long."

Naturally, no one objected to this, and they immediately organized the convoy and left Yancheng.

At the same time, in a house somewhere in Yancheng, two figures were sitting opposite each other. One of them was Lei Pi from the Lei family.

"Thank you very much, Manager Hua An, for this matter." Lei Pi smiled and attentively poured a cup of tea for the greasy-faced middle-aged man in front of him.

"Haha, it's just a small matter, a small matter~" The fat man smiled and shook his head, then stroked his beard and looked at Lei Pi mysteriously: "However, according to the follow-up investigation of my servants, the Lin family actually went to two places on this trip, and selling ironwood is only one of them~"

"Oh?" Hearing this, Lei Pi was startled. After seeing the other party's meaningful smile, he finally understood what he meant. He readily took out five Yang Yuan stones and handed them to the other party: "Thank you, Manager Hua."

Seeing Lei Pi being so sensible, the man immediately took the Yang Yuan Stone happily and said with satisfaction: "The Lin family members were divided into two teams. One team was responsible for selling iron wood, and the other team secretly took people to the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce and sold a large number of Yang Yuan Stones!"

"A large number of Yang Yuan Stones?" Lei Pi's expression immediately turned ugly.
