Fairy, return my flying sword to me

Chapter 125: The Art of Knowing People

After leaving the toilet and returning to the sect's forest, I felt like the sky was falling.

“Debt collection!”

"Pay back the money!"

"Zhengyang Sect disciple is a big liar!"

The walls of the courtyard were covered with large characters sprayed with scarlet paint. The crooked characters symbolized the anger of the sprayer at the time.

"It's over!"

My loan is overdue!
But I have no money, what should I do?
Now that I think about it, the deadline was almost up before I left. Now I've been out competing in a competition and come back to find my house has been ransacked...

"Mom~" Lin Jian turned his head.

Haruyuki quickly jumped away, eager to distance himself from the matter, "I don't have a son like you!"

When Li Qingyu asked him to choose a magic weapon, Lin Jian was still worried.

Where can I get this money?
Looking for the eldest senior sister? She is currently in a difficult situation. Even if she is willing to help her refine the elixir, her money still needs to be used to buy the ingredients for the elixir.

Go find the eldest brother... He's the one who has always been in trouble and has never enjoyed happiness.

Looking for Second Senior Sister, Third Senior Brother and Master...it seems like they are always sucking blood.

If I really have to pay it back, I don’t know when I can pay it back.

Why don’t you put the investigation aside and go make some money first, and then think about saving the world after you’re done.

Things like "pacifying the country before fighting against foreign enemies" are not as important as making money for yourself.

Or, sell the magic weapon?
The price of lower-grade spirit stones for a fourth-grade magic weapon starts at one million, so the ones given by the sect are probably considered good things among the fourth-grade ones.

Just take one and sell it, then buy a third-grade one. In the end, you can probably get hundreds of thousands more. This way, you won’t have to worry about money anymore!

Even without talking about debts, there are many places on the path of cultivation where money is needed. It is definitely unrealistic to always borrow from others. It is absolutely reassuring to have money on hand.

The only thing that can be considered a regret is the fourth-grade magic weapon that I obtained with great difficulty.

Although the flying sword is also a magic weapon, it has a completely different meaning from ordinary magic weapons.

Flying swords are a necessity for sword cultivators, and there are sects that specialize in producing this kind of magical weapon in large quantities.

Magical instruments are treasures with differentiated functions. Everyone has different needs. In addition, the natural materials and treasures used to make magic instruments are hard to come by, so they are rarely circulated on the market.

It's okay for items below the third grade, but items of the fourth and fifth grades are rarely seen in the market outside. If I sell it, I probably won't have the chance to get treasures of this level again in the short term.

A little confused.

……

Still in front of the familiar gate of Xuanji Treasure House.

When looking at the five disciples, the face of the one who was teaching was full of smiles.

"Your performance in this competition was absolutely perfect!"

"You have brought back first place for the sect, and the sect will naturally fulfill the promise it made to everyone."

"Now, please sever the spiritual connections between all the third-grade magical instruments I lent you and return them to me..."

"Of course, if you've developed feelings for them, you can keep them and use them as a reward."

"After all, theoretically, only cultivators in the Golden Core Stage are qualified to use a fourth-grade magical weapon. This might be a bit stressful for you."

Yun Feiyang smiled upon hearing this, his eyes sweeping over the faces of his four companions. He took a step forward and straightened his clothes, "Then I have to change. The elder is right. A cultivator of a certain realm should use a magical instrument of that realm."

Sun Qinghan couldn't stand the guy's arrogance and kicked him, "If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb."

As he spoke, he took out his own magical weapon and severed the spiritual connection, "Elder, we will return them all."

"Tsk tsk~" Chuan Gong smacked his lips with regret, waved his hand and said: "Then go and choose your fourth-grade magic weapon!"

All four of them went happily, and the last one stayed in the forest without moving.

"Hmm?" Chuan Gong looked at him with a puzzled expression.

This time, it wasn't him who asked Lin Jian to stay. Lin Jian raised his eyes and looked at Chuan Gong weakly, "Elder, I want to ask you something..."

Chuan Gong smiled and said, "You say."

"Can the magical instruments awarded by the sect be directly exchanged for spirit stones?"

When Chuan Gong heard this, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face, and he asked with concern, "What happened, kid?"

Lin Jian lowered his head, his expression gloomy, "It's just a personal matter, I need money urgently."

"You can't sell your magic weapon even if you ask for money. A fourth-grade magic weapon is a treasure that many people can't buy even if they have money. So..." Chuan Gong pulled Lin Jian over and asked in a low voice, "How much do you owe?"

"One...thirteen thousand."

"Thirteen thousand..." The elder who was in charge of the skills transmission hesitated for a moment, then took the money generously. "Well, this elder will lend it to you personally. I'll give you fifteen thousand. You can pay it back whenever you have money. If you're short on money, you can always use it. This elder has plenty of money!"

"Ah?" Lin Jian was a little surprised. "Really...really, Elder?"

"Of course!" Chuan Gong smiled broadly. "I've told you before, since you're a disciple of the Zhengyang Sect, we're family. Family members should help each other. What's more, you're the youngest and most promising disciple of the Zhengyang Sect. If the sect doesn't support you, who else can it support?"

He patted Lin Jian's shoulder vigorously and said, "Alright, go ahead. Go choose a magic weapon. You don't need to sell your fourth-grade magic weapon for such a small matter. In short, don't worry about such small amounts of money and trivial matters in the future. If you have any problems, you can talk to the sect. If there is anything that Zhen Yang can't solve, come to me, and this elder will make sure it is resolved for you!"

Lin Jian bowed sincerely and said, "Thank you, Elder."

Chuan Gong quickly helped him up: "Go quickly, no need to be polite."

Watching Lin Jian walk into the treasure house gate, Chuan Gong showed a complacent smile on his face.

Humph! I told you that we have plenty of strength and means to pass on our skills, right?
With just a little trick, he won over the sect's top talent.

Could he have hidden the debt collection in the forest from him? Outsiders who wanted to go up the mountain had to get the elders' approval.

Letting those people in would allow them to put pressure on Lin Jian.

Taking action at the critical moment, isn't that just a matter of course?
This is the legendary "Art of Knowing People".

The other elders can learn from it.

When he thought about the elders who were shocked by what Elder Tong reported back in the hall today, he felt that he had won.

You are still thinking about how to make this genius completely loyal to the sect, but this elder has already killed him.

Among all the heroes in the world, I am the only one who can pass on my skills!

……

"It's time for dinner again."

After much thought, Lin Jian still couldn't bear to sell the fourth-grade magic weapon.

If he really wanted to sell it, he would just go out and sell it secretly. There would be a premium for such a rare magic weapon outside, so why would he mention it in the sect?

The reason why I brought it up in front of the sect elders was to see if I could get something from the sect.

At least he had fought for the sect and won first place, even though he had already received the official reward of a fourth-grade magic weapon.

But considering the abilities he demonstrated in the Four Sects Competition, it shouldn't be a problem for him to get some extra support, right?

Isn't this? Yes, it is.

What is the art of knowing people?

After resolving the loan that was about to be overdue, Lin Jian focused his attention on the four layers of treasure in front of him.

He has already experienced the third-grade lethal magic weapon. It feels great and is very powerful.

But the consumption is also huge.

It's fine to use it at a critical moment, but if you really want to hold it for a long time, the cost-effectiveness of a magic weapon that can only be used under limited conditions is somewhat low.

The power of fourth-grade magic weapons is even higher, and there may be some new types of magic weapons for you to choose from.

Among them, there may be some magical tools that are completely suitable for your needs.

"Let me see what we have..."
