Chapter 77: A Friend in Heaven
【Cloud Copper Heart Mirror】
Quality: High-level magical instrument
Introduction: Made from the third-level spiritual material Cloud Copper, it has five high-level inscriptions: Toughness, Balance, Iron Curtain, Inner Protection, and Transfer. After refining it with your heart, place it on your chest to defend yourself against the enemy.
Enhancement required: 32 points
……
When Lin Shan saw the introduction of the palm-sized ancient bronze mirror on the reinforced panel, he suddenly understood.
No wonder it looks so weathered and ravaged, it turns out to be a defensive magic weapon. From what Elder Zhang inadvertently revealed just now, it seems to be the magic weapon that made Master Zuo famous in his early years!
However, for a high-level defensive weapon with five inscriptions, it is a bit too flimsy. No wonder it is still standing strong despite so many scratches and burn marks.
Now that he had a mid-level attacking magic weapon, he really needed a defensive method. This cloud copper heart-protecting mirror was like a pillow delivered to him when he was sleepy.
Lin Shan did not hide his weakness this time. Zuo Zhenren had said that if he answered, he would be given the prize. If he continued to speak half-truthfully, he might lose the chance. By then, even if Zuo Zhenren wanted to give the prize to him, he would not be able to do so because of what he had said before.
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be a high-level defensive magic weapon. After being refined, it can be placed on the chest to defend against enemies. It has five defensive inscriptions."
Lin Shan gave a complete introduction to the enhanced panel.
"Haha, good boy!"
Master Zuo clapped his hands and laughed, Old Zhang beside him twirled his beard and nodded, and Lin Shan below had a look of anticipation on his face.
"This is a personal magic weapon that I made two hundred years ago when I was in the foundation-building stage. It is average in terms of magic defense, but it is very effective in physical defense. I will give it to you. It can protect you on your path of cultivation."
"The path to immortality is long, and preserving one's life is the most important thing. Once you die, your path will disappear!" Master Zuo sighed with a hint of reluctance, and it was obvious that he had deep feelings for it.
However, Lin Shan had previously helped him solve the mystery of his minor magical power, which was naturally insignificant compared to a mere magic weapon.
Zhang Lao beside him also nodded repeatedly, obviously agreeing with Master Zuo's words. Isn't it that everyone cultivates immortality for the sake of immortality? Living is the most important thing, and everything will be empty after death.
Therefore, no matter whether it is magic spells or magical weapons, defensive ones are always the most expensive.
Not to mention the ultimate physical defense of the "Cloud Copper Heart Mirror".
Lin Shan bowed and said, "I dare not refuse the gift from the elder. Thank you very much, senior!"
The three of them had a great time together, and everyone, young and old, had a great time.
During this period, Zuo Zhenren did not show any airs of a Jindan stage cultivator. He even gave Lin Shan some pointers on his practice and explained to him the key points and tricks for advancing from the Qi training stage to the foundation building stage. Lin Shan was naturally very grateful.
……
The conversation lasted from day to night, and Lin Shan felt that he had gained a lot. Then Mr. Zhang took Lin Shan out.
After all, it is already a great honor for a Jindan-stage master to meet with a Qi-training stage master. It is impossible for him to talk with you all night long.
After coming out, Lin Shan vaguely compared the pressure of Zuo Zhenren's aura with that of the beautiful woman in the brothel. He found that when the beautiful woman heard the news of Huang Xianshi's death, her anger seemed to be a little more pressured.
But Master Zuo did not reveal his aura, so Lin Shan could not accurately determine who was stronger between the two. However, judging from their usual auras, the beautiful woman should be at least a Master in the Jindan Stage!
Lin Shan was even more fearful now. He was just a young Qi training stage cultivator, so he should try not to have too much contact with the beautiful woman, a Jindan Real Person of the evil path. The best thing to do was to cling more to the Jindan Real Person like Zuo Zhenren who were casual cultivators!
The two men came to the front living room, and Old Zhang took out the contract of the chief appraiser of the auction house with a smile and placed it in front of Lin Shan.
【Chamber of Commerce】: Yichuan Auction House
【Position】：Chief Appraiser
【Monthly payment】: 100 Lingshi
……
When Lin Shan saw the third monthly payment, he instantly felt like his eyes were filled with spirit stones!
so much? !
Monthly payment of 100 Lingshi?
Lin Shan looked up at Zhang Lao, the chief appraiser looked at him with a smile on his face. The two stared at each other for a while, and Lin Shan spoke with difficulty: "The monthly payment is 100 spirit stones, and what is my job assignment?"
Mr. Zhang said in a leisurely tone, and it was hard to tell whether it was true or false: "Do whatever you want to do. If you don't want to do anything, you don't have to do anything."
Lin Shan swallowed his saliva and said, "Please give me your instructions, Mr. Zhang."
Mr. Zhang sat down, looked at the empty teacup beside him, and said nothing.
How could Lin Shan not be aware of this? He immediately filled the cup with tea and served it with both hands. After finishing, he went behind Zhang Lao and used his ancestral massage techniques, including the 18 Thai touches!
Zhang Lao moaned in comfort. In this deserted night, an old man and a young man were doing something unknown in the living room of the auction house.
After a while, Lin Shan asked: "How about this method?"
Mr. Zhang: “Yeah, it feels good.”
Lin Shan: "Then how about trying essential oil back massage, ancient SPA, head acupressure?"
Mr. Zhang: "Oh? That sounds good?"
Lin Shan: "."
I was just being polite, why do you take it so seriously?
However, Lin Shan saw that Old Zhang was still sitting there with his eyes narrowed, as if he was ready to be picked.
"That's all! It's only 100 Spiritual Stones a month, I'll do it!"
Lin Shan knew that a Jindan-stage ancestor like Zuo Zhenren was usually hard to find, and he couldn't see him whenever he wanted. If he wanted to curry favor with someone, he had to curry favor with Zhang Lao, the current chief appraiser.
After Mr. Zhang leaves Yichuan, I will be promoted to chief appraiser, and that will be the real life of freedom and happiness.
……
After a night, Lin Shan was exhausted, his hands were cramping, his eyes were black, and his legs could not stand straight.
Mr. Zhang, who was sitting on the chair, looked energetic and radiant!
"You are a good boy, and you can be taught."
Seeing that Lin Shan was in such a state that he looked unrecognizable, Mr. Zhang naturally knew that it was time to call it a day, so he told the reserve chief appraiser in front of him about their work.
Simply put, ordinary appraisers can basically appraise items entrusted by ordinary customers, so there is no need for them to step in. Only when the items are particularly strange and bizarre will the chief appraiser be needed.
Therefore, chiefs like Mr. Zhang usually stay in their caves to practice by themselves. Only when they feel their legs and feet are getting rusty will they come out and show their faces occasionally.
The chief appraiser will only be on duty three days before the annual auction.
Lin Shan was even more excited after hearing this. No wonder this old man was able to cultivate to the foundation-building stage smoothly. Isn't this kind of job where I can stay at home and get paid without any worries the most suitable job for me? !
Old Zhang glanced at Lin Shan and knew what the fart was without even smelling it.
But he couldn't help but remind her: "You just took office, there must be appraisers below who don't obey you, you have to show up more often. After all, when I became the chief appraiser, I was often tripped up by others."
Lin Shan quickly asked: "Then how did you deal with the challenges from your peers in the past?"
Mr. Zhang smiled proudly, and there seemed to be a hint of cunning in his smile:
"Practice is the king of everything! I have been tolerating them in the early stage until I closed my eyes and practiced hard until I reached the foundation-building stage. Now these bastards dare not even fart when they see me again!"
After saying this, Mr. Zhang gave Lin Shan a knowing look that said "you know".
Lin Shan nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice, as Mr. Zhang's code of conduct coincided with his.
When you don't have the strength, even if you are the first to stand out, you should shrink as much as possible. Then you can develop secretly, and then step on all the people who disliked you in the past.
This is the only way to respect the objective laws of the development of things and avoid premature death on the road to becoming an immortal.
The old man and the young man looked at each other and laughed cunningly.
……
The auction house had just opened early in the morning, and several appraisers who happened to come in to work suddenly heard Mr. Zhang's screams coming from the living room. They all got goose bumps all over their bodies!
It seems like he thought of some bad memories!
