Chapter 165: Clever Dragon Alchemist

"The three two-headed fish are not as big as yesterday's, but they are not small either."

The water official saw that Tian Lin looked a little strange, and couldn't help but ask: "Senior Tian, you are not a beastmaster?"

A beastmaster can control spiritual beasts, but there has never been a beastmaster in Pingyang City. However, there are quite a few in the Northern Wilderness.

Moreover, if Tian Lin is really a beastmaster, he has many better ways to earn spirit stones, so why bother going out to sea to fish?

The water official was puzzled, but Tian Lin just smiled and said, "I won't take the two-headed fish back this time. Just give me a discount."

The two-headed fish in his house had not been eaten yet, and the fish meat would most likely rot if he took it back.

The Water Official nodded and hurriedly counted out sixty-five spirit stones and presented them to Tian Lin.

Seeing Tian Lin was about to leave, he thought for a moment and then plucked up the courage to say to Tian Lin:

"After all, a two-headed fish is not worth many spirit stones. If Senior Tian has the chance, it would be best to hunt a five-element dragon. Even a young five-element dragon can be sold for fifty or sixty mid-grade spirit stones."

Doesn’t Tian Lin also want to fight the Five Elements Dragon?

But the Five Elements Dragon's whereabouts are elusive, so it's not so easy to catch.

He said goodbye to the water officer and strode back to the yard.

Seeing that Tian Lin did not go to the kitchen to release the two-headed fish to show off, Yu'er tactfully did not ask Tian Lin about his catch today.

While she asked the kitchen to prepare food, she made tea for Tian Lin who came into the house and said, "Zhong'er next door said that Master Long Dan will come out of retreat tomorrow."

Tian Lin asked her directly: "Have you asked Master Long Dan what he likes? Does he know what is the best gift?"

Tian Lin was relatively confident in Yu'er's interpersonal relationships and housework. In fact, he didn't know much more about many social matters than she did.

It just so happens that Tian Lin himself hates socializing, so if he has any questions, he can just ask her directly, which saves him a lot of trouble.

"Master Long Dan himself has no shortage of spirit stones, but he likes some strange stories about alchemists. I went out today and spent a hundred taels of silver to make a copy of "Northern Wilderness Demon Pill Record".

Tomorrow, just bring this booklet to the door, and have Zhong'er say something nice, and that will be enough."

Tian Lin frowned. One hundred taels of silver was nothing, and he was not so stingy as to not want to give up such a small thing.

But precisely because one hundred taels of silver was nothing, he felt that the gift might be too light.

"What does it mean to create a copy of "Northern Wasteland Demon Pill Record"? "

Hearing Tian Lin's question, Yu'er hurriedly said, "All the good biographies have been bought by Master Long Dan himself, and it is difficult to find new and interesting stories about alchemists on the market.

I thought about it and decided to find a storyteller to make up some stories. I don’t think Master Long Dan would know whether the stories were true or not.

Tian Lin was speechless. He took the fake script from Yu'er.

The story in the book is about a young man named Zhang, who has ordinary talent, and who uses magic pills to make medicine in the Northern Wilderness, thus changing his fate.

"Okay, let's go try it together tomorrow."

The next morning, the two of them went to the door.

Tian Lin had heard Yu'er mention Zhong'er several times, but it was not until this moment that he realized that this was a little girl who was only thirteen or fourteen years old.

Although the little girl is small, she has a very strong aura.

Although she behaved politely in front of Tian Lin, she could not hide her arrogant attitude and seemed to be on an equal footing with Tian Lin.

As the saying goes, a dog takes advantage of the power of his master. Obviously, in the eyes of the little girl, Tian Lin's status is lower than that of his master, and he came to see his master this time, so he did not dare to offend her.

It's ridiculous that she is a mean person who has achieved success and doesn't know the difference between respect and inferiority - but she guessed right that Tian Lin did come to ask for a favor.

Zhong'er let Tian Lin into the main room, and then took Yu'er downstairs to talk.

Not long after, the pot-bellied Master Long Dan walked into the room, sat down on the armchair beside the table, picked up the tea and took a sip.

He was at the initial stage of foundation building, and not only was he fat, but he also looked listless and had dark circles under his eyes, which really surprised Tian Lin.

Tian Lin cupped his hands, but it was Master Long Dan who spoke first:
"Just tell me what you want to say. I have to go to Duobao Pavilion to exchange my elixirs for spirit stones, so I don't have time to waste with you."

Tian Lin was not annoyed by his tone, but asked Master Long Dan: "I heard that Master Long Dan, you are refining the Buddha Demon Pill recently?"

Master Long Dan raised his eyebrows and frowned at Tian Lin: "What do you want to say? Are you here to laugh at me for overestimating my own abilities?"

Tian Lin quickly said, "I don't mean that. I am interested in Master Long Dan's Buddha Demon Pill, so I want to buy it cheaply from Master Long Dan."

Master Long Dan stood up and looked at Tian Lin with suspicion.

Although he didn't allow others to say that the Buddha and Demon Pill he refined was not made in the right way, he also knew that the Buddha and Demon Pill he refined was a useless pill.

Duobao Pavilion was willing to purchase such waste pills simply because he was a tribute to the Tong family.

But who among ordinary people would be willing to spend money to buy this medicine?
"Just tell me what you're planning. I don't want to beat around the bush with you."

Seeing this, Tian Lin simply stopped beating around the bush and said bluntly:
"Although I have your Buddha Demon Pill, Master Long Dan, I don't know how to practice the Buddha Demon Freedom Art—" "You want to spend a little money, buy my pills to please me, and get the Buddha Demon Freedom Art for free?"

Master Long Dan stood up and sneered:

"You all took me, Long, for a fool, didn't you? You can also get the Buddha and Devil Freedom Skill for ten high-grade spirit stones. No bargaining is allowed."

After he said that, he drove Tian Lin out of the house without leaving any room for negotiation.

Yu'er, who heard the conflict outside the house, hurried over. Master Long Dan looked at Zhong'er who also followed and said:

"People in this world are evil, so I don't like dealing with these worshippers. Zhong'er, I'm going to leave in a while, so you have to close the door tightly. Don't let anyone steal the Buddha Demon Freedom Power in the cabinet while I'm away."

When he said this, Tian Lin couldn't help but be stunned.

Master Long Dan said that everyone treated him as a fool and wanted to cheat him. Tian Lin didn't believe it at first. After all, a friend who was an alchemist was very important and no one wanted to offend him easily.

But now it seems that it is not unreasonable for others to treat Master Long Dan as a fool.

And faced with such a profitable fool, it is really hard not to cheat him.

Tian Lin looked at Yu'er, suppressed his smile, and bowed to Master Long Dan, saying, "Since Fellow Daoist Long is busy, I will come to visit you next time."

As he was speaking, he walked out of the door and met Mr. and Mrs. Gao He who came over with two oil-paper packages in their hands.

The Gao He couple looked at Tian Lin strangely, then laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist Tian, you are here to cheat as well - and to visit Master Long Dan?"

Tian Lin also smiled and said, "You two also have something to ask Master Long Dan?"

Gao He and his wife asked Tian Lin again: "Did Daoist Tian get the job done?"

Tian Lin shook his head. Gao He came close to Tian Lin and whispered:
"Master Long Dan is obsessed with alchemy and has always disdained worldly things and human relationships. But he is a very good person. As long as you are willing to keep in touch with him, he will not treat his friends unfairly."

Tian Lin smiled. At this time, Gao He's wife pulled Gao He's sleeve, and Gao He stopped greeting Tian Lin.

Gao He and his wife came in, but Tian Lin and Yu'er returned to the yard.

The two of them did not speak for a while, until they entered the main house, Yu Er asked Tian Lin:
"Cui Er and Zhong Er have become close friends these past few days, and Zhong Er is the one who is most greedy for bargains. Otherwise, let Cui Er take some money over and ask Zhong Er to steal the Buddha Demon Freedom Skill?"

Tian Lin frowned and said, "Master Long Dan is an honest man. He only used silver to send Zhong Er to steal his things. This is really not what a gentleman does."

He changed the subject and said, "Don't take the silver. Give a low-grade spirit stone to Zhong'er and ask her to get the Buddha Demon Freedom Skill for us.

After we have finished reading the technique, we can return it to Master Long Dan."

If he had stolen the martial arts from a bad person, Tian Lin would not have felt the slightest bit of guilt.

But Tian Lin actually felt a little guilty about stealing the skills from Master Long Dan.

But Master Long Dan asked him to exchange ten high-quality spirit stones for the technique. Where could he get so many spirit stones?

Just keep this account in mind and pay it back when you can.

After getting Tian Lin's approval, Yu'er immediately went to find Cui'er.

Tian Lin didn't know when Gao He and his wife left the Long family, but when the sun was about to set, Cui'er, who had gone to the Long family to "play", came back with the Buddha and Demon Freedom Skill.

Tian Lin opened the martial arts method, memorized it by heart, and then returned it to Cui'er.

After thinking for a while, Tian Lin said to Cui Er: “I think you have also seen this technique, and you also know that this magical power does not have the Buddha Demon Pill, and it is not something that ordinary people can practice.

I don't care if you want to practice, but you must not spread it or sell it outside. If someone finds out, I can run away, but you two sisters may not be able to escape."

Cui'er was upset with Tian Lin but she didn't dare show it on her face and nodded quickly.

As soon as she left, Tian Lin returned to his room and took out the "Buddha Demon Pill" he bought at Duobao Pavilion from his storage bag.

Seeing Tian Lin holding the waste elixir with such care, Yu'er was speechless and helpless.

People say that Master Long Dan is stupid, but in Yu'er's eyes, her own master is not much better.

The worshiper of Duobao Pavilion had clearly stated that this was a waste pill and could not be used to practice the Buddha and Demon Freedom Art.

But my master just loves to take advantage, and really thinks that the waste pill he bought at a cheap price can be used to practice the Buddha and Demon Freedom Art.

If this elixir really has such an effect, how could ordinary worshippers get the advantage?
That Dragon Pill Master had probably already been invited to Tianbei County City to be the chief priest.

She complained in her heart, but she dared not say it out loud, so she just let Tian Lin do whatever he wanted.

Soon, Tian Lin took the first Buddha Demon Pill.

　It's the last day of the month, please give me your votes, thank you.

　　I also recommend a book by a big guy in the group, "Naruto: I'm Really Not a Pokémon", which is a very innovative Naruto fan fiction. It starts with the Hidden Mist, and the protagonist can extract Pokémon skills, props, and characteristics. The author is a soul painter. If you are interested, you can add it to your bookshelf
