On the second day, Lin Qingshan visited his grandfather Qian Zhenlian again and discussed many matters with his grandfather in secret until noon.

The Qian family has made a lot of money from the blast furnace steelmaking cooperation project with the Lin family. Now the relationship between the two families is no longer an ordinary relationship between in-laws and allies.

In the past, the relationship between Qian and Lin was mainly the blood relationship between Qian Zhenlian and Lin Qingshan, which was essentially a personal relationship.

It’s different now. With tens of thousands of taels of black gold a year, the friendship between the two families is higher than the mountains, deeper than the sea, and harder than the hundred-refined green steel!

Although Lin Qingshan came to visit in a low-key manner, the lineup of companions at the luncheon that day was very luxurious.

In Qian Zhenlian's courtyard, Qian Xing'an, the head of the Qian clan, and Qian Tengyi, another ancestor of the Concentration Realm who was in charge of the Qian clan, were personally accompanying him.

At the banquet, as they exchanged glasses of wine and exchanged glasses, Lin Qingshan also mentioned the purpose and requirements of his visit. Not surprisingly, both of them readily agreed.

"Don't worry, Chief Qingshan, the Lin family's business is our Qian family's business!" Patriarch Qian Tengyi took a swig and patted his chest.

Qian Tengyi's hair is already gray and he looks like an old man with a kind face and kind eyes. He is the oldest ancestor of the Qian family, over 170 years old, but his face is red from drinking!

People of this age are generally calm and calm old men.

In fact, Patriarch Teng Yi is usually a calm old man who doesn't panic when things happen.

I'm really happy that I drank so much today. He has lived for more than 170 years and has devoted so much effort to make the family further.

People are not afraid of hardship, nor are they afraid of being tired. What they are afraid of is that they will work hard all their lives and suffer all the hardships, but their ideals will be out of reach, and they will end up doing nothing.

It is Qian Tengyi's dream to lead the Qian family to be promoted to the Zifu family. He has always dreamed of it.

More than a hundred years ago!

He always thought that he would never see that day in his lifetime.

But now, Lin Qingshan gave him hope, so he was naturally excited and drank a few more drinks with Lin Qingshan.

"Qingshan, you came in a hurry last time and left in a hurry. This time you come to Acropolis and you have to stay a few days longer!" Uncle Qian Xingcai said with a smile.

"That's natural. Lin bought a yard in the city. I will stay in Acropolis for a few more days this time." Lin Qingshan replied.

"You must be bored out of your mind after living in the wilderness for a long time. The New Year is approaching and the Acropolis is very lively. Let your uncle take you to the night market in the evening." Qian Zhenlian said.

"Your grandpa is right, Qingshan, tonight I will take you to the night market in the city. There are many merchant families coming to Pingnan this year, including many big families from the county and city. There are many good things!"

As the New Year is approaching, business families are particularly active. Most of the business families have no property in the Acropolis.

These aristocratic families would go to the night market to rent temporary stalls and sell spiritual materials.

The night market is a major feature of the Acropolis during the New Year.

"Okay, I'll bother uncle that night." Lin Qingshan happily agreed.

…

Acropolis Night Market.

After dinner, Lin Qingshan and his uncle Qian Xingcai went to the night market in the center of the Acropolis.

Although the sun has set, the streets of Acropolis are still bright, and red lanterns are hung on the eaves of every house, brightly lit, and full of New Year flavor.

In the night market, there were all kinds of hawkers shouting and chattering...it was extremely lively.

In addition to people from aristocratic families, there are also casual cultivators and ordinary people who come to the night market.

The squares and streets in the center of the city are already crowded with vendors' shops, most of which are opened by ordinary people and sell handmade clothes, toys, and specialty foods.

Compared with ordinary people's stalls, the products of the Maison are more attractive.

There are elixirs, spirit beast meat and other spiritual materials, weapons made of blue steel and black iron, as well as secret books on exercises, and all kinds of strange gadgets.

Lin Qingshan and his uncle, dressed in plain clothes, walked among the crowd, stopping from time to time to look at the things on the stalls, but they didn't catch anything they liked, so they just had fun.

Suddenly, his steps stopped.

"Uncle, this meat skewer is good, very fragrant!" Lin Qingshan stopped in front of a stall selling barbecue and said.

The vendor owner is a middle-aged man with a popular face.

He looks ordinary, but he is no ordinary person. He exudes the invisible aura of a spiritual warrior.

Of course, this momentum is not strong, far worse than Lin Qingshan.

This is a casual cultivator.

"This young man is really discerning. Our meat skewers are made of the finest fresh rabbit meat. It has been marinated for a day with a secret recipe and then grilled over charcoal fire. It is charred on the outside and tender on the inside! It tastes great!"

The middle-aged casual cultivator saw Lin Qingshan and the two stopped in front of the barbecue stall, and he quickly smiled and promoted his barbecue:

"Moreover, this meat not only tastes full of flavor, but its nourishing effect is also first-class. If you eat this piece of rabbit meat, your whole body's energy and blood will be lifted!"

Rogue cultivators are not like aristocratic families. They do not have spiritual veins to bring stable income, so it is not easy to earn some cultivation resources.

Therefore, the middle-aged casual cultivator puts extra effort into selling barbecue, which inevitably leads to Wang Po selling her melons and boasting about herself.

Lin Qingshan smiled and said nothing. On the surface, he just looked at the meat skewers on the grill quietly, as if he was very interested.

In fact, his mind was entirely focused on an object in the stall next to him. It was a stone with a slightly transparent texture that looked like an agate.

His super spiritual sense told him that this stone was extraordinary!

But he did not buy it rashly, but observed it inadvertently.

Otherwise, how could a few skewers of roasted spiritual rabbit meat be worth looking at for so long? In the family, what kind of spiritual animal meat has not been eaten?

"Such good meat skewers are only sold for 2 taels of Mithril a skewer! Sir, please order two skewers!" The middle-aged casual cultivator kept selling kebabs to the two of them.

"It's really good. It smells very good. Give me two skewers." As he said that, Lin Qingshan took out a fifty-tael piece of broken silver and threw it to the middle-aged casual cultivator.

"Okay!" The middle-aged casual cultivator took the broken silver, took out a piece of mithril worth one tael in his arms, and handed it to Lin Qingshan.

The density of mithril is very high. One large ingot of silver contains fifty taels. Five taels of mithril is already broken silver, and one tael of mithril is even more pitiful.

Lin Qingshan took the fine mithril and put it away. There was no way, the life of the low-level casual cultivators was like this, and the low-level civilians were even more pitiful.

After changing the money, the middle-aged casual cultivator took two skewers of roasted rabbit meat from the grill and handed them to Lin Qingshan and Qian Xingcai.

The skewers are not delicate, and the bamboo sticks used to thread them are thick and long, but the pieces of meat on them are not small, which makes people feel inexplicably appetizing.

The two of them were playing with skewers in front of the stall. Lin Qingshan turned to look at the stall owner from time to time, praising his good craftsmanship.

When he turned his head, his eyes inadvertently scanned the stall next to him several times.

The stall owner was a man in his thirties or forties, with dark complexion and wearing linen clothes. His appearance was ordinary, just like an ordinary farmer with his face facing the loess and his back to the sky.

On the stall in front of the man were some bamboo toys shaped like dragonflies and butterflies, as well as a few stones with a somewhat crystal texture.

There is no spiritual energy coming out of these things, and they don't look like spiritual materials, but Lin Qingshan's spiritual sense tells him that the agate-like stone is not simple!

Spiritual perception is essentially the original power of the human soul. It is different from spiritual consciousness. However, when it comes to perceiving food, it has the same purpose and can penetrate the appearance directly to the essence.

What is so special about this stone?

After eating the skewers, Lin Qingshan squatted down, glanced at the bamboo dragonflies and bamboo butterflies on the stall, picked up one at random, and said casually: "Uncle, look at this dragonfly, it's quite stylish!"

"Qingshan, do you like this? If you like it, buy it." Qian Xingcai said with a smile.

"Brother is very discerning. My bamboo weaving skills are quite famous in the Acropolis!" The man grinned, showing his white teeth, and said.

Lin Qingshan was basically convinced at this time that he was worrying too much, this stall owner was just an ordinary citizen.

"I'm such a big man, if I buy a child's toy, I'll make people laugh if I tell you about it." Lin Qingshan put down the bamboo dragonfly in his hand, shook his head and laughed.

Then he turned his eyes, looked at the crystal clear stones, and said, "These stones are a bit interesting."

As he said that, he picked up the strange stone that made him feel extraordinary.

This stone is only slightly larger than an adult's fist. If you look closely, you will see that the stone is dark in color and slightly translucent in texture. It looks like a gray-white agate stone. Its surface is not much different from other agate stones.

The only difference is that there is a water bladder inside this agate stone, and you can faintly see liquid sloshing inside.

"This piece of agate is gray in color, and the planting water is average. It is not transparent enough, but it has a water gall inside. It is a piece of water gall agate at least. It can be used as an ornament." Uncle Qian Xingcai took a look at it and commented.

Qian Xingcai is only in the ordinary Kaiyuan realm and has no spiritual consciousness, so naturally he cannot feel the abnormalities inside the agate.

Not only him, there were many spiritual warriors coming and going here, but Lin Qingshan was the only one who discovered the abnormality in this agate.

Even if a strong person in the Concentration Realm comes, he still needs to release his spiritual consciousness in order to notice the difference in agate.

But under normal circumstances, those who are strong in the Concentration Realm will not release their spiritual consciousness to look around, so even if someone in the Concentration Realm passes by, it will be difficult to detect them.

Agate and crystal are common gemstones that are most widely distributed in nature. Farmers can often pick them up when farming. Because of their large quantities, their prices are generally relatively low.

Agate is formed during volcanic eruptions. When some agate encounters water as it cools, it will encapsulate the water.

Agate has a fine texture and can store internal water without evaporation for tens of millions of years. The water bladder will always exist. Such agate is a water bladder agate.

The price of water gall agate is more expensive than ordinary agate, but it also depends on the quality. If the quality of the piece is not good like this one, the price will not be high.

Qian Xingcai's comments are very fair.

"Brother, I picked up this agate from the river. Although the quality is a bit different, the water bladder inside is really big. This is probably the only water bladder of this size in this night market!" The stall owner said.

They were gesticulating, fearing that Lin Qingshan and the others would lower the price.

"Brother, why don't you buy one? Elderly people say that placing agate in the house will ward off evil spirits!"

"You're right, then I'll make an offer for you and ask for this piece of water bladder. You can set a price." Lin Qingshan said with a smile.
