After listening to Lin Mings words and seeing this list, the shopkeeper was somewhat angry. Does this country bumpkin think that Baibao Hall is a place where he can play around? Such a large sum of things, at least several thousand taels of gold, good fellow, this kids tone is like buying vegetables on the street, several thousand taels of gold worth of things, even if its a young master from a wealthy family who comes here, they would have to carefully consider before making such a purchase.

  He slapped the list onto his palm and said impatiently, "Im warning you two, dont get caught on purpose for causing trouble at Baibao Hall. Baibao Hall never goes easy on those who cause trouble."

  "Watch your mouth!" Lin Xiaodong slammed his hand on the table, right on the palm of the shopkeepers fat hand. The shopkeeper was just a businessman and didnt have any martial arts skills, so he let out a pained cry as soon as Lin Xiaodong slapped him.

  "Hey!" The shopkeeper couldnt believe it, this kid actually dared to fight in Baibao Hall?

  "Youre the kind of person who looks down on others, and my brother has plenty of money!" Lin Xiaodong said, pulling out a gold ticket from Lin Mings arms and slapping it onto the counter with a loud "slap". The force of over 100 kilograms shook the counter violently. With the gold in hand, Lin Xiaodongs confidence surged, and he had long been displeased with the shopkeeper. How could he miss this opportunity to use money to crush him?

  The shopkeeper was taken aback by the sight of the gold ticket, and with his keen eyesight, he instantly estimated the total value of Lin Xiaodongs stack of gold tickets. A stack of 1,000 taels of gold tickets, totaling no less than 10,000 taels! Moreover, he was certain that these gold tickets were genuine, and as long as they were taken to the United Merchant Bank, they could be exchanged for real gold immediately.

  The shopkeeper was completely stunned, he sized up Lin Ming and then sized up Lin Xiaodong. These two little guys were definitely not from a wealthy family, and just a few days ago they were so poor that they had to sell symbolic papers door-to-door. How could they have so much money now? Was it because those few symbolic papers sold well?

  Its impossible, a novice-level inscription symbol cant be sold for so much money.

  Two nouveau riche, dont know what kind of dog shit luck they had to dig up treasures, and now theyre being arrogant here... The shopkeeper is extremely depressed in his heart, but having money makes him the master, so this slap can only be endured in vain.

  He rubbed his nearly swollen fat hand, put on a smile, took over the list on the table, scanned it, and found that the materials needed were not cheap. Adding the previous things, he quickly calculated in his heart that this business would cost almost six thousand taels!

  This is equivalent to the price of two treasures! Just by being the middleman, he can get 120 taels!

  "This is no small sum! Although he felt stifled in his heart, it wasnt worth arguing over money, so the shopkeeper nodded and bowed, saying: I really have eyes but dont recognize Mount Tai. You two please wait a moment, Ill go prepare immediately."

  As they spoke, the originally somewhat stout shopkeeper suddenly ran like the wind. Lin Mings required materials were numerous and complicated, but this shopkeeper had a particularly good memory and was quick with his hands and feet. In a short while, he had prepared everything. Afterwards, the shopkeeper smiled and presented the items, saying: "Two sirs, please check if its correct, the total is five thousand eight hundred taels of gold."

  Seeing everything in order, Lin Xiaodong asked Lin Mingdao: "Are things ready, Brother Ming?"

  Lin Mingdao said: "Thats right, its these."

  At this time, Lin Xiaodong smiled slyly and said, "Sorry, Id like to change the cashier to settle the bill."

  The smile on the shopkeepers face froze instantly.

  A big store like Baibao Tang naturally has more than one shopkeeper, whoever sells the goods will be credited with the performance. In this way, his commission is gone.

  Lin Xiaodong understood this and deliberately teased him, "Hurry up and notify someone to replace you, what are you standing here like a wooden stake for?"

  That shopkeeper knew that the other party was intentionally fooling him, and he got a bit angry in his heart. If it were a young master from a noble family who fooled him, he would naturally have to endure it. But these two nouveau riche with no background also dared to be bossy here, how could he let them push him around? His voice suddenly turned cold: "This first floor of Baibao Hall is all my responsibility, and Im the only shopkeeper. Who do you want me to replace?"

  "Stop cheating people, hurry up, otherwise Ill complain to your boss!"

  "Feel free!" The shopkeeper sneered in his heart, Boss? Is the boss of Baibao Hall someone you can see at will? He was about to say a few more harsh words, but just then, he suddenly saw a purple gold card sandwiched between the golden tickets. This card was the purple gold VIP card given by Mu Yi to Lin Ming, which could enjoy a 10% discount in all large shops under the United Chamber of Commerce.

  Marshals Mansion and Imperial Familys Purple Gold VIP Card!

  In an instant, the shopkeepers heartbeat skipped a half beat. This was specially issued by the United Chamber of Commerce to curry favor with the imperial family and the Marshals Mansion. So far, the total number sent out has not exceeded one hundred!

  Those who possess it are either members of the royal family or figures in the marshals mansion. People of this level can crush themselves to death with just one finger!

  Its all over! These two little guys must have some background! It wont be that the young prince who doesnt understand things disguised himself and ran out of the palace to look for excitement outside.

  Im so unlucky! The shopkeepers head swelled up in an instant.

  "Two young masters, Im dead! Im dead! Ill go find another shopkeeper for you. You gentlemen dont mind the mistakes of a lowly person like me, just consider me nothing and let me off." As he spoke, the shopkeeper slapped himself twice, although not hard, but it still made a slapping sound on his fatty cheeks.

  Lin Xiaodong was also stunned for a moment, whats wrong with this guy, how did he suddenly go crazy?

  The shopkeeper was so frightened that he called other shopkeepers to settle the account, and apologized repeatedly. In the end, they even sent a horse-drawn carriage to send Lin Ming and Lin Xiaodong back home.

  Back at Lin Mings residence, Lin Xiaodong didnt know it was because of the purple gold VIP card, he just thought it was the 10,000 taels of gold that shocked the greedy shopkeeper. He was in a great mood, "Haha, having money is so satisfying, damn, thinking about the shopkeepers pale face earlier makes me want to laugh, Ming brother youre too easy-going, if it were me, Id definitely complain to the higher-ups at Baibao Hall and get this guy fired."

  Lin Ming saw clearly that the shopkeeper had changed his expression after seeing this purple gold VIP card, and he couldnt help but feel that the Marshals Mansion in Tianyun City was as powerful as the imperial family!

  He said, "Small people have their own way of survival. They learn to see the wind and make concessions, flatter and fawn over others because life forces them to do so. Theres no need to cut off their means of livelihood. Xiao Dong, this soft armor and these three Yu Jin Lu Tai Wan are for you." The Yu Jin Lu Tai Wan can remove impurities from the body, with the first one being the most effective, and the effect decreasing by half with each subsequent one. Generally, taking three is enough, and taking more would be a waste.

  As for Jiyuan Dan, there is no restriction on taking it, but its only suitable for those who cultivate bitterly. Lin Xiaodong basically doesnt need it.

  Three Sanjinqi pills and a soft armor, the total value is nearly one thousand taels of gold. This was a huge sum for Lin Xiaodong, he had some hesitation at first, but thinking about Lin Mings abilities, one thousand taels of gold was just a small matter. Thinking of this, he readily accepted it, and smiled: "Then I wont be polite, Brother Ming you will be my protective umbrella from now on, haha."

  Lin Ming smiled and said, "We brothers dont have to be so polite, besides..." Lin Ming took out another 3,000 taels of gold, "Next time the family messenger comes to Tianyun City, help me send this money back home and give it to my parents. Let them buy that wine shop."

  Lin Mings parents spent half their lives in that wine house, so they naturally had a deep affection for it. Lin Mings first thought was to help his parents buy the wine house.

  "Leave this matter to me."

  See off Lin Xiaodong, Lin Ming returned to his room alone, took a look at the calendar, and there were still 50 days before the assessment of the Seventh Xuanwu Prefecture. In these 50 days, he would be reborn!

  Neither Wujin Luotai Wan nor Juyuan Dan are elixirs that directly increase ones cultivation base. The former clears out impurities within the body, allowing the true yuan to combine with ** more easily, while the latter gathers true yuan and accelerates the speed of cultivation.

  As for the elixirs that directly increase ones cultivation base, they can also be purchased. However, these elixirs contain a lot of impurities along with the true yuan, and although they quickly raise ones cultivation level, they will cause instability in ones foundation. At that time, it will take a great deal of time to consolidate ones foundation.

  So Lin Ming did not rashly buy that type of medicine.

  At this time, the moon was on the treetops, Lin Ming began taking the first Yu Jin Lu Tai Wan pill.

  Although Yu Jin Lu Tai Wan is precious, its not too valuable in Lin Mings eyes as a body-refining elixir. Although Lin Ming knows how to use the Inscription Technique to increase the efficacy of the elixir, he doesnt think its necessary to inscribe a single Yu Jin Lu Tai Wan and can just swallow it directly.

  Lin Ming put half a bucket of water in the large wooden barrel, took off his clothes and jumped in. Then Lin Ming swallowed the dan medicine, which melted as soon as it entered his mouth, turning into a hot flow that flowed into Lin Mings body.

  Lin Ming silently recited the "Hunyuan Zhenyuan Jue" mantra in his heart, starting to circulate the true yuan within his body, complementing the effects of the Yu Jin Lu Tai Wan pill.

  As the medicine took effect, Lin Ming felt a faint tingling sensation all over his body, which was a sign that the Tempering of the Body had begun.

  A warriors body, from the moment they emerge from their mothers womb, will constantly be tainted by the impurities of the external world. These impurities include the air they breathe, the grains and food they eat, and the rivers and lakes water they drink, which are unavoidable. The Wujin Luotai Pill is used to counteract these impurities with the prenatal energy of the deer fetus, achieving the goal of tempering the body.

  Lin Ming sat for a whole night, and on the surface of the water in the wooden bucket, a thin layer of oil pollution gradually floated up. This was the impurities inside Lin Mings body. If he were a young master from a wealthy family, he would have started practicing martial arts at the age of twelve and undergone the process of tempering his body. Taking medicinal baths was also a common practice for them, so they had fewer impurities in their bodies and found it easier to merge their true yuan. Therefore, even if Lin Ming had the same three-star heavenly gift, his cultivation speed would be hard-pressed to catch up with those young masters from wealthy families.

  Until the sky was bright, Lin Ming suddenly opened his eyes, and the effect of the Yu Jin Lu Tai Wan had been fully absorbed by him, and his body refinement ended.

  Lin Ming once again operated the "Chaotic True Essence Art", and the true essence in his body combined with ** even more closely. Moreover, Lin Ming discovered that due to the second combination of true essence and **, the true essence had spread throughout his entire body, which was a sign of breaking through to the Second Heavy Layer!

  I finally got a second dan in Taekwondo!
