Chapter 12 Crisis (Please collect and follow)

"Hey, I brought some good stuff to replenish your body, my friend He. This is the meat of a mid-stage Tier 1 demonic beast. We set up traps and ambushed it for two days before killing it."

While Li Yourong was speaking, he took out a basket of meat from his storage bag and handed it to Chen Ling.

"Li friend, this is too precious," He Yunxiu hesitated for a moment and repeatedly expressed her thanks.

The meat of a mid-stage Tier 1 demonic beast was quite expensive, costing more than one spiritual stone per pound. This basket must weigh several dozen pounds.

"What's so precious about it? We're neighbors, and besides, you just gave birth to a child. You need to replenish yourself!" Li Yourong said with a generous smile.

"Thank you, Li friend!" Chen Ling, on the other hand, was not at all polite and directly took the basket.

He didn't earn a single spiritual stone for repairing her high-grade magic sword. As he weighed it in his hand, it was probably around forty pounds, which was less than one-fifth of the price to repair the magic sword.

"Chen friend, is my magic sword repaired? It's been dangerous without a magic sword these past few days!"

"I also want to remind Chen friend that last night, a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator in Maple Leaf Lane was killed along with his three concubines. His house was completely looted. I came here to tell you to be careful."

"These robbers not only target the cultivators' spiritual stones and magic tools, but also specifically target those who have multiple wives and concubines!"

Li Yourong teased Chen Ping'an while blowing a whistle and said.

He Yunxiu's face changed when she heard this, and she nervously looked at Chen Ling and asked, "Husband, what should we do?"

Maple Leaf Lane was just across the street from Red Leaf Lane. It's possible that they have already set their sights on them.

"It's okay, let's just be careful. There shouldn't be any danger." Chen Ling said calmly.

He was now the backbone of the family, and even if he was worried, he couldn't show it in front of his family.

Although He Yunxiu's face relaxed a bit after hearing this,

How could she not know that Chen Ling's words were downplaying the situation, when in fact it was not that simple?

If the robbers succeeded once, there would definitely be a next time!

Chen Ling took out the magic sword from his storage bag and handed it to Li Yourong with a smile, "Li friend, I have repaired the magic sword for you. I will have to trouble you to take care of my family's safety in the future."

In the current situation, Chen Ling could only thicken his skin and ask Li Yourong for help.

Compared to life and death, face was not worth much.

Besides, he still had a wife and children.

"Li friend, please take care of us!" He Yunxiu also hurriedly said.

Li Yourong took the magic sword, flicked it lightly, and a red light flashed on the sword. A look of joy appeared on her face.

Chen Ling actually repaired the magic sword, which surprised her.

She was well aware of Chen Ling's mediocre skills.

This time, she simply didn't have enough spiritual stones, and coincidentally met Chen Ling. She took a chance and sought his help.

She didn't expect it to actually work!

After hearing what Chen Ling and his wife said, she furrowed her brows slightly, put away the magic sword, and said, "Neighbors naturally have to take care of each other, but I'm moving in two days!"

"Moving? Li friend, where are you moving to?" Chen Ling couldn't help but ask.

"To the west side of the market, Yangchun Street!" Li Yourong replied.

"What's the rent over there?" Chen Ling asked.

In the current situation, he could only find a way to move as soon as possible.

Once targeted by the robbers, there would be no chance to move.

Even a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator was no match for them, let alone him.

"Sixty low-grade spiritual stones per month. Although it's a bit expensive, it's safe on one hand, and the concentration of spiritual energy is much higher than here."

"Furthermore, I am sharing a rental with a fellow cultivator, and the monthly cost of thirty spirit stones is acceptable."

With her cultivation at the late stage of Qi Refining, if she had enough spirit stones, she would naturally choose to live in a place with more abundant spiritual energy, which would be more beneficial for her cultivation.

Chen Ling thought for a moment. Although sixty spirit stones was a bit high, it was nothing compared to her own safety.

"Friend Chen, are you planning to go to the market these days? If you are, let's go together. I will move in three days!"

Li Yourong spoke up. She had promised Chen Ling that she would protect him if he could repair the magic sword, and she didn't want to go back on her word.

"I was just about to go. Wait for a moment!"

He returned to the house, where Chu Yu was folding clothes.

He took out two Flame Thunder Beads and handed them to her, instructing, "Keep these for self-defense. Don't let Yun Xiu and the others get hurt if there's any danger."

Chu Yu already had a magic robe on her, and with these two Flame Thunder Beads, she should be able to handle anything as long as she didn't encounter a cultivator at the late stage of Qi Refining.

Chu Yu took the Thunder Beads and nodded decisively.

Compared to the gentle and considerate Yun Xiu, she was more decisive and capable, with a strong determination not to lose.

Afterwards, Chen Ling left the courtyard with Li Yourong.

With Li Yourong accompanying him, they safely arrived at the market in no time.

"I need to go to the Miscellaneous Hall to pay the rent. If you finish your business, let me know."

Li Yourong handed a sound transmission talisman to Chen Ling, waved her hand, and headed towards the direction of the market's sect's Miscellaneous Hall.

Chen Ling put away the sound transmission talisman in his hand. This kind of rune could transmit sound within a certain range, and the higher the grade of the rune, the farther it could transmit.

Then, he headed towards the Duobao Pavilion.

"Chen Ling, did you really refine a medium-grade magic robe?"

Inside the second-floor VIP room of the Duobao Pavilion, Shen Zhen looked at the magic robe in front of him and was completely stunned. The fat on his cheeks trembled slightly due to the shock in his heart.

He had also studied the art of refining, so he naturally knew the huge gap between refining a third-grade magic restriction and a fifth-grade magic restriction.

Most refiners couldn't cross that gap in their lifetime!

Chen Ling sighed first, then showed a happy expression and said, "Uncle Shen, at the last moment, I was already desperate. It was only by chance that I managed to refine it successfully."

Although his relationship with Shen Zhen was good, he naturally couldn't let him know about this heaven-defying success.

In this world, one must always be cautious.

It's never wrong to be cautious.

He always remembered a famous saying: when encountering a stranger, maintain 100% vigilance; when encountering an acquaintance, maintain 50% vigilance; when encountering a family member, maintain 10% vigilance.

Although Shen Zhen was an acquaintance, he was fundamentally a businessman. Chen Ling didn't want to end up being sold and still help others count the money.

Satisfied, Shen Zhen nodded and then handed a storage bag to Chen Ling, smiling, "Inside are five medium-grade spirit stones and fifty low-grade spirit stones. The magic robe costs 250 spirit stones, and the ten Flame Thunder Beads cost 300 low-grade spirit stones."

"Additionally, there is the assessment token from the Refiner's Association. With this token, you can participate in the refiner's assessment at the Wanbao Tower at any time."

Chen Ling actually had such great potential, so Shen Zhen naturally wanted to strengthen their relationship.

"Thank you, Uncle Shen!"

Chen Ling took the storage bag and hurriedly thanked him.

The Wanbao Tower was the Refiner's Association's office in the market. It mainly sold various magical artifacts but also conducted assessments for refiners.

Then Chen Ling asked, "Uncle Shen, are there any other jobs available?"

Although he had over five hundred spirit stones, he still had to buy high-grade detoxification pills and move to a new place.

It seemed like the spirit stones had suddenly decreased a lot.

Shen Zhen shook his head, "Wait a few days first. Recently, cultivators have been buying ready-made magical artifacts. When those pioneers arrive, there will be plenty of business."

Shen Zhen put away the magic robe and Flame Thunder Beads, thought for a moment, and said, "How about this? You can participate in the assessment at the Wanbao Tower first. As long as you pass the assessment and become a guest of our Duobao Pavilion, you will not only have a fixed monthly income but also be able to greatly increase the prices of the magical artifacts you refine in the future."

Chen Ling nodded. For now, this seemed to be the only option.

For the sake of safety, he didn't plan to accept orders from other magical artifact shops for the time being.

His cultivation was too low, and he wasn't familiar with others, making it easy for others to have ulterior motives.
