Who was this young man? What was in the box?
Lin Tianbiao was very curious, but he did not rush to follow the young man. Instead, he watched him walk into the crowd on the street until the figure disappeared, and then he turned around.
Zhuang Yong was still behind him, not moving at all.
It seemed that he was also an insider, but the other party left him here so casually. Lin Tianbiao controlled his curiosity, but the other party seemed to be completely unworried about his actions.
Lin Tianbiao looked at Zhuang Yong, thought for a while, and suddenly smiled.
"Goodbye." He bowed slightly to the inconspicuous cultivator peddler, turned around and left.
On the street, it was still lively.
Most of the people of the Northern Mountain New Courtyard had gained something from Zhuang Yong, but not many people stopped. For the Seven Stars Trial, it was good to have a little more help. After leaving Zhuang Yong's place, the crowd dispersed one after another, each searching the street for something suitable for themselves. There were very few people walking together, because they would be each other's opponents in the upcoming trial, and few people would be willing to let their opponents see what equipment they had gained at this time.
Everyone was focused on looking for goods. The small tavern at the corner of the street did not have more business because of the bustling town today. When Ying Xiao walked into the tavern, there were eight small tables, but only Lu Ping sat there, and he did not order any wine or food, only a bowl of tea, sitting there slowly drinking.
Seeing Ying Xiao, Lu Ping nodded and greeted him, then his eyes fell on a large wooden box in his hand, a trace of curiosity in his eyes.
"What did you buy?" Curious, he asked. Lu Ping did not hide anything at all.
"How can I tell you?" Ying Xiao's answer was also quite straightforward, "We may be opponents next, and this may be my secret weapon."
As he spoke, he walked over. He had always been rough, but he treated the box very carefully, gently put it on the table, and then sat opposite Lu Ping.
"What's the point of drinking this?" Seeing the tea bowl in front of Lu Ping. He despised it. Then he waved to the boss and shouted, "Wine!"
The small tavern didn't have many kinds of alcohol. The boss heard Ying Xiao's tone and didn't ask much. He immediately carried a jar over.
"Take two bowls." Seeing that the boss placed a bowl of wine in front of him, Ying Xiao said.
Another bowl was naturally for Lu Ping. Ying Xiao grabbed the wine jar and poured it into the bowl, he poured it boldly and the wine splashed everywhere. Lu Ping covered his teacup with his palm to prevent the wine from flying in.
"You don't drink?" Ying Xiao noticed Lu Ping's actions and asked.
"Never," Lu Ping said.
"Try it." Ying Xiao pushed the bowl of wine towards Lu Ping.
Lu Ping had never drunk alcohol before, but he was no stranger to the smell of it. During the period when he was under the guidance of Teacher Chu Min, this smell had always been mixed in his life.
I wonder how Teacher Chu Min is doing now.
Lu Ping thought in a daze. His hand had already picked up the bowl that Ying Xiao pushed over and brought it to his mouth. Like drinking water, he drank a mouthful.
Spicy, spicy, pungent.
This was Lu Ping's first sip of alcohol. It was of poor quality, but very stimulating. Ying Xiao was waiting for the reaction of a first-time drinker, but Lu Ping's reaction was like drinking water. Drinking a mouthful, he put down the bowl and looked at Ying Xiao.
Ying Xiao shook his head.
"You should be like this." He said as he picked up the bowl that he had poured for himself. Drinking it in one gulp.
"Wow! Awesome! "Ying Xiao shouted. The thick smell of alcohol seemed to have begun to emit from every pore of his.
Lu Ping remained calm and collected. He also picked up the bowl and drank it in one gulp. Then, like drinking a mouthful or drinking water, he calmly put down the bowl.
"You're really boring." Ying Xiao shook his head and sighed. He had already lost interest in developing Lu Ping as a drinking buddy. His gaze swept to the side. He saw what Lu Ping had placed beside his hand. It was the item he had bought.
"This is …"
"This is called a voice recorder." Lu Ping said.
"Yes, I think this is also a voice recorder. Otherwise, what else could it be?" Ying Xiao said.
"Of course it's a voice recorder." Lu Ping said.
"Let me see." Ying Xiao said.
Lu Ping handed it over without hesitation. Ying Xiao picked it up and turned it around. He didn't find any mechanism.
"So, after you bought a photographic pearl, you also bought a phonograph." Ying Xiao said.
"Not only that." Lu Ping said. "There's also this."
As he said this, he took a small bucket from another bench and placed it on the table.
"This is?" Ying Xiao was puzzled.
"This is called a thermostat." Lu Ping said.
"Okay, I got it." Ying Xiao nodded. Of course he knew about the thermostat. It used the spirit of Qi to maintain the temperature inside the box. The hot would not be cooled, and the cold would not be warmed up. There was no fixed shape. Ying Xiao just looked at the small bucket. He couldn't tell what it was.
"So, this is of course an ordinary thermostat." Ying Xiao said.
"Yes, what else could it be?" Lu Ping said and opened the lid. Immediately, steam came out. Ying Xiao looked inside and saw four buns.
"Do you want to eat?" Lu Ping pushed the bucket towards Ying Xiao.
"No need." Ying Xiao pushed the bucket back.
Lu Ping didn't try to be polite with him. He covered the bucket again and put it back on the bench next to him.
"What other treasures did you buy? Show them all!" Ying Xiao said.
"Treasures?" Lu Ping took a look at the thermostat box he had just put down. "These things can't be regarded as magic weapons, can they?"
"Yes, they can't be counted because they are very common. So, you came this time to buy these very common things? "Ying Xiao said.
"Actually, I haven't seen them before." Lu Ping said.
"Looks like you had a tragic past." Ying Xiao said. These things were indeed very common. Although they used the power of spirit, the effect was simple. So, it was easy to use. Even ordinary people who had never cultivated before could grasp the method. Then, they could use the weak Soul Power that everyone was born with to use it. Because of this, they were very popular. Lu Ping hadn't seen them before. Ying Xiao couldn't imagine what kind of life they lived. He just felt that they were pitiful.
"I had a tragic past." Lu Ping nodded.
"Fine, let's drink to bid farewell to those days." Ying Xiao filled Lu Ping's bowl with wine again.
"Okay." Lu Ping nodded. He picked up the bowl and drank. He didn't react to the bitterness of the wine. After escaping the organization for so many years, this was the first time they were celebrating.
