Chapter 65: Stumbling Block

  The small area where Lin Dong and his group were located became much quieter due to the old man in grey's sudden words. Not only did the red-clothed girl's face stiffen, but even the servants and attendants standing by with respect were all stunned into silence.

  "Master Fu?"

  Lin Dong was also stunned, looking at the old man in gray clothes. From the respectful expressions on the faces of the people around him, it was clear that he was a big shot in this city, but what made Lin Dong puzzled was why this big shot would suddenly say such a thing to him?

  To strangers, Lin Dong always maintained a hint of vigilance in his heart, especially with this unprovoked kindness. His fingers subtly touched the center of his palm, where his greatest secret was hidden in the flesh and blood. He didn't have control over concealing this secret completely when facing some truly powerful individuals.

  "Elder sir, this young one's current abilities are weak. If he divides his attention to cultivate the Way of Symbols, it might not be suitable. I hope you can understand."

  Lin's mind quickly turned over the thoughts in his heart, and the words that finally came out made the red-clothed girl and others' faces look even more colorful. They looked at him with eyes like they were looking at an idiot. This guy, didn't he know how many people in Flame City wanted to become a disciple of Rock Master Yan? He actually dared to refuse?!

  "Heh heh, a true master of talismans is not just someone who can inscribe symbols on artifacts. A genuine master can turn the tide of battle with a mere flick of their wrist. This refusal has clearly left the old man in grey robes taken aback for a moment, but then he smiled and said that such exceptional spiritual talent was truly impossible to ignore."

  However, the more enthusiastic he was, the less Lin Dong dared to agree. If he didn't have any secrets, he would be happy to get close to such an extraordinary person, but unfortunately, he still had a mysterious stone symbol. He didn't dare to confirm whether the person in front of him would still be so kind if this secret were exposed...

  "Sir, may I return home and discuss with my family for a while? If there is a result, I will come back to look for you." Lin said after some deliberation.

  "Since you're not interested now, just do as you please. When you've come to your senses, bring this thing to the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce and look for me. It's fate that we meet again, so I'll give it to you, and it will also allow you to understand more about the way of the symbol masters." The old man in gray was a bit helpless towards Lin Dong's persistence, but he didn't say anything else. He took out two items from his bosom - one was a symbol card, and the other was a dry book. Then, he tossed them at Lin Dong.

  "Thank you, sir."

  Lin Dong took the two things and casually stuffed them into the newly bought Qiankun bag. Seeing the stunned gazes of the people beside him, he also felt a bit embarrassed and couldn't stay any longer. He turned around to face the handsome young man who was still blocking his way and said, "Can I pass?"

  Upon hearing this, the man finally came back to his senses, his mouth twitching slightly. However, in the end, he obediently stepped aside. Previously, relying on the power behind him, he might not have cared about Lin Dong, but now that the situation had taken a drastic turn, Lin Dong suddenly had some connection with Master Yan, which made it impossible for him to be arrogant anymore...

  The red-clothed girl beside him moved her lips, but ultimately fell silent. From this situation, it seems that Master Yan is quite interested in Lin Dong. If Lin Dong really becomes his disciple in the future, he will also be a number one figure in Flame City. It's not good to offend him too much.

  As they fell silent, Lin Dong also directly slipped past the man's side and quickly exited this strange and eerie building, before swiftly merging into the flow of people on the main street.

  ……

  Merging into the crowd, Lin Dong felt a sense of relief in his heart, and then he didn't do any more idle wandering, directly returning to the resting inn. Not long after he returned to the inn, Lin Zhen Tian and others who had gone out earlier also came back one after another.

  "Dad, how is it?"

  As soon as they saw Lin Xiao and them return, Lin Dong couldn't help but ask.

  "Hehe, it's okay, the Yangyuan Stone is not hard to find a buyer for, and the selling price is pretty good too. Three hundred pieces of Yangyuan Stone were exchanged for thirty-two Yangyuan Pills." Lin Xiao smiled and nodded, looking like things were going well.

  Lin Zhen Tian on the side also smiled and nodded in agreement.

  Just then, the tightly closed door was pushed open again, and Lin Meng walked in with a somewhat gloomy expression.

  "What's wrong?" Lin Zhen Tian furrowed his brow and asked upon seeing his expression.

  "The prices of those ironwood have been suppressed by thirty percent, damn it! I spent a lot of effort to find out, and it turns out that the Lei family is using their connections to trip us up!" Lin Meng gritted his teeth and said.

  Upon hearing this, Lin Zhen Tian and Lin Xiao's faces also slightly sank. This Lei family really didn't know when to give up, they were determined to not get along with the Lin family.

  "Never mind, let's not settle these accounts with them for now. The most important thing is the Yangyuan Stone. These matters can be settled one by one later." Lin Zhentian hesitated for a moment, and finally waved his hand. As long as the mining vein was successful, selling iron wood would make him a small fortune.

  "Uh-huh."

  Lin Xiao and Lin Meng also nodded in agreement, indeed, the most important thing now is still Yang Yuanshi.

  "Now that things have been settled, let's set off and leave as well." Lin Zhen Tian said thoughtfully. This time, many of the good hands in the Lin family had been mobilized, so it was better not to be away for too long.

  As for Lin Zhentian's decision, no one opposed it. Everyone nodded in agreement and then ordered the fleet to integrate and set off from the city.

  When Lin Zhentian and his party left the city, in a house somewhere in Yan City, there were two figures sitting and standing. One of them was Lei Ping from the Lei family.

  "Hehe, thanks for taking care of things this time." Lei Pi smiled and poured a cup of tea for the oily-faced fat man in front of him.

  "With our relationship, it's just a small matter. This Yan City collects wood, and they have some connection with us. We say how much to collect, and that's how much they'll collect. What can a small Lin family do?"

  Lei Pi smiled and nodded in agreement.

  That fatty rubbed his oily face, then looked at Lei Bai and said: "As far as I know, the Lin family this time actually went to two places to sell iron wood, but only one of them..."

  "Huh?" Upon hearing this, Lei Pi was taken aback. Seeing the enigmatic smile on the fat man's face, he suddenly understood and took out five pieces of Yangyuan stone, placing them in front of him, smiling as he said: "Trouble you, Manager Hua."

  "They divided into two groups, Lin Meng selling iron wood, while Na Lin Zhen Tian took people to a business association. If the news I got is true, they should be selling a batch of Yangyuan stone there." The fat man smiled and put the Yangyuan stone in his arms before speaking.

  "Haha, this is quite strange. That small Lin family actually took out hundreds of yuan worth of Yangyuan stones. I wonder how many years they've been collecting..."

  "Hundreds of yuan for a piece of rock?"

  Hearing the chubby's somewhat puzzled muttering, Lei Pi's face turned a bit unsightly.

  (Keep working hard, thank you everyone.)

  PS: Also, I urgently ask for a collection. The current collection of Wudong is 840,000. I wish to reach 900,000 by the end of this week. Here, I beg all brothers and sisters, heroes, please move your fingers and click on the collect button for this book, thank you.
