WDQK—Chapter 101: Dealing with Soul Treasures, People Blocking the Road!
Great Puppet City is one of the top five cities in Great Desolate Province. Its scale is so enormous that ordinary people can't imagine it. Moreover, this city is only about two days away from the location of the Great Wastelands Ancient Tablet. As the day when the seal of the Great Wastelands Ancient Tablet is weakest approaches, Great Puppet City is becoming more chaotic, and people from all forces are approaching this area.
Lin Tian and Qingtan rode on Huo'er's back and traveled for more than ten days before finally arriving at Great Puppet City.
"This Great Puppet City is so big! I'm afraid it's as large as dozens of Yan Cities!" Qingtan couldn't help but exclaim when she saw the massive outline of Great Puppet City.
Lin Tian smiled and said, "Great Desolate Province is a mixed bag, and various forces have gathered. Since Great Puppet City is ranked among the top five cities in the province, its scale must be larger."
"Let's go in and take a look at Great Puppet City while we ask about your brother, Lin Dong."
As they approached the gate of Great Puppet City, to avoid unnecessary trouble, Lin Tian and Qingtan jumped off Huo'er's back. Huo'er shrank back to the size of a cat and was held in Qingtan's arms. The two humans and the beast walked leisurely into Great Puppet City.
After entering Great Puppet City, Lin Tian first found an inn to stay at. In the inn, the two took a comfortable bath, changed into clean clothes, and rested for a while. Afterward, Lin Tian took Qingtan for a stroll around the city. While walking, he intentionally or unintentionally inquired about recent events in Great Puppet City.
After wandering most of the day, the two returned to the inn.
Qingtan said with some worry, "Brother Lin Tian, from what those people outside said, Lin Dong should have had a conflict with the people of the Ghastly Puppet Cult outside Great Puppet City."
"The Ghastly Puppet Cult is one of the three major forces in Great Desolate Province. It is said that there are Manifestation Stage powerhouses in the sect. Lin Dong's current strength is still a bit dangerous to face the Ghastly Puppet Cult."
Lin Tian smiled and said, "Don't worry. Lin Dong is much stronger than you think, and don't forget that he has a symbol puppet comparable to the Manifestation Stage. As long as he isn't surrounded by the strong members of the Ghastly Puppet Cult, even if he can't defeat them, he can still escape."
"Oh yes, Lin Dong still has the high-level symbol puppet you gave him," Qingtan said, her eyes lighting up in surprise.
"Brother Lin Tian, did you foresee that Lin Dong might be in danger, so you lent him the symbol puppet?"
"How can it be so magical? I lent the symbol puppet to Lin Dong just as a precaution," Lin Tian replied with a smile.
"Don't worry about your brother Lin Dong. Since he's not in Great Puppet City, we can only meet him near the Great Wastelands Ancient Tablet. However, before that, we can relax in Great Puppet City for two days."
"Yeah," Qingtan said, looking forward to it after hearing that. Qingtan is a person who likes to have fun. During this period, she was either on the road or practicing in the mountains and forests, and she was already bored.
Great Puppet City is very large. Lin Tian took Qingtan to visit for three days before they thoroughly explored it, making Qingtan very happy.
One day, while walking around, Lin Tian and Qingtan accidentally came to the Treasure Pavilion in the southern area of Great Puppet City.
"Let's go see what good things are in the Treasure Pavilion!" Seeing the name, Lin Tian's heart suddenly moved.
Since coming to the ancient tomb until now, he had been constantly encountering enemies. Besides killing them, he also gained a lot of items, including several Soul Treasures. These Soul Treasures were useless to him. As for the Lin family in Yan City, they were too weak. Giving them these Soul Treasures would only do more harm than good. Therefore, Lin Tian planned to deal with all these Soul Treasures. They could be exchanged for Pure Yuan Pills, which would be somewhat useful.
"Dear guests, what do you need to buy?" As soon as they stepped into the Treasure Pavilion, a maid approached politely.
Lin Tian smiled and asked, "Do you buy Soul Treasures here?"
Hearing this, the maid was slightly stunned. She didn't expect Lin Tian to come not to buy but to sell, and he started with Soul Treasures!
"Hello, distinguished guests. We at the Treasure Pavilion also purchase Soul Treasures. Please follow me." The maid recovered quickly and led them.
Lin Tian nodded slightly and said nothing more. Under her guidance, they soon arrived at a reception hall.
Soon, an old man dressed in black and luxurious clothes entered the hall. The maid introduced him: "This is Manager Song from our Treasure Pavilion. He is responsible for purchasing valuable items. If you two have anything to sell, you can discuss it with him."
"Thank you. Please proceed," Lin Tian said, nodding slightly. The maid bowed and then left.
Manager Song glanced at Lin Tian and Qingtan, asking with a smile, "I hear you have Soul Treasures to sell?"
"The condition is that the price must be fair," Lin Tian said with a smile, taking out a gray roulette. This roulette was obtained when he killed Mr. Shen, who was beside Wang Yan outside the ancient tomb.
Manager Song examined the roulette and said, "This is a low-level Soul Treasure. How about 30,000 Pure Yuan Pills?"
"What about this knife?" Lin Tian casually took out a large knife belonging to the master of the Di family in Dayan Province, also a low-level Soul Treasure.
"20,000 Pure Yuan Pills," Steward Song replied with a smile.
Then Lin Tian took out the Great Luo Golden Spear and the Soul Treasures of the Ancient Sword Sect. Watching Lin Tian take out one Soul Treasure after another, Steward Song finally lost his composure.
He recognized the weapons of Liu Ku and the two elders of the Ancient Sword Sect, and his heart was shocked. He took a deep breath, his tone becoming respectful: "May I ask your name, sir?"
"Lin Tian," Lin Tian said lightly, glancing at Manager Song.
"Lin Tian? Do you know a young man named Lin Dong?" Manager Song suddenly remembered something and asked.
"Lin Dong is my brother. What's wrong?" Lin Tian replied with a slight smile.
Manager Song smiled and said, "Nothing."
He secretly thought that they were indeed brothers—one had killed the guardian of the Ghastly Puppet Cult, and the other seemed to have wiped out the Ancient Sword Sect. In the end, Manager Song dared not lowball him and made a good offer.
After dealing with all those useless Soul Treasures, Lin Tian collected nearly 400,000 Pure Yuan Pills in total, which was quite good.
"Goodbye!" After counting the Pure Yuan Pills, Lin Tian bowed, then turned and left with Qingtan.
"Wait!" Lin Tian and Qingtan had just stepped out of the Treasure Pavilion when several people on the way suddenly called out to them.
"What's the matter?" Lin Tian raised his eyelids slightly, looked at the others, and spoke softly.
