Immortal Cultivation

Chapter 3 Being Deceived



When Lin Yi and his group entered the town, they dispersed, and they were temporarily separated from the little fat man. They all agreed to return together then.

Father Lin took Lin Yi to the trading area, and he could hear various hawking sounds from a distance.

"Everyone, come and take a look. This is the most affordable and cheapest place. I guarantee that you can buy with confidence and use it comfortably."

When Lin Yi and Lin's father passed by, the hawker came to him and said, "Sir, come and take a look. I guarantee you will be satisfied."

Father Lin ignored it and continued walking forward, but the store owner still refused to give up. He didn't look for the next target until he was far away.

Father Lin said to Lin Yi: "Xiao Yi, these are their slogans. Don't believe them. Otherwise, I will lie to you ten times and eleven times. If I have the opportunity in the future, I can take you out more and wait for you to grow up." Don’t take too many detours when you grow up to avoid bringing disaster to your family.”

Lin Yi listened and watched attentively, keeping all this in mind.

After turning many corners, Father Lin arrived at his destination. There were several people waiting for transactions. Father Lin also began to wait. Lin Yi saw that other stalls were empty and asked: "Dad, why don't you go to those stalls?" Stall trading?”

Father Lin smiled and said: "I am familiar with this stall owner and have been doing business here all the time."

Lin Yi yelled, looked around, and went to take a look. Father Lin saw that Lin Yi was in his sight, so he didn't pay much attention.

Suddenly hearing a noise in the distance, Lin Yi looked for the sound, and soon many people gathered around him.

Lin Yi saw a motionless monkey on the ground. A middle-aged man pointed at the stall owner and said excitedly: "The monkey was clearly jumping around just now. How come it fell to the ground unconscious just after it was in your hands?"

The stall owner looked calm, feeling that he often encounters this kind of scene, "You can eat more, but you can't talk nonsense. I am a small business and operate with integrity. If your monkey has problems, you can't blame me."

When the middle-aged man heard this, he became even more excited.

"It's impossible. This monkey has been doing well since it was brought to the market. In order to sell it at a good price, you see how well it was raised. But after you touch it, something goes wrong. It's not you, it's who?"

The stall owner remained calm and said: "To frame me falsely, you have to bring out evidence and point it out one by one. If it proves that it is my fault, I will pay ten times the price. Otherwise, you will frame me again. Let me tell you, I have someone here." ”

The middle-aged man was stunned and kept talking, unable to say the following words. He came from a poor village and went to the market today, hoping to sell the monkey at a good price and improve his family's life.

Now it seemed like the sky was about to fall, and he suddenly knelt down and said, "Stall owner, this monkey is the hope of my whole family. Just do it."

The stall owner said expressionlessly: "I understand how difficult it is for you, but you can also see that I am struggling to maintain this small stall. I really have more energy than I can afford."

After a pause, the stall owner seemed to have made a very difficult decision and said: "Seeing that you have it harder than me, do you think it's okay for me to buy your dead monkey at a higher price?"

The middle-aged man found it difficult to accept this fact and kept saying, "But the monkey was obviously fine just now."

More and more people gathered around and kept talking. The stall owner also looked a little anxious and said: "I'll say it one last time. If you want to sell, I will raise the price a little more. I have already done my best."

The middle-aged man still looked at the stall owner and said, "The monkey was obviously fine just now."

The stall owner motioned for several people to come over, "Look, it's hindering my business now. If you don't make a decision, I will ask them to take you away from my stall. The price I offered is already very high."

The middle-aged man looked at those people. He had no choice but to go to other stalls to sell the dead monkey. The price might be lower. He had no choice but to nod in agreement.

The stall owner smiled and took out the copper coins and handed them to the middle-aged man, "You will never get this price at other stalls. Welcome to come again next time."

The middle-aged man took the copper coins and left without a trace. Lin Yi looked at the back of the middle-aged man and was deeply touched. They were all born in poverty, and all the hope of the family instantly turned into a few copper coins.

Thinking of the family's expectations, the whole family's precarious life is so powerless.

Lin Yi walked back, and the two people in front of him were chatting about what happened just now.

"Hey, I don't know how many poor families have been harmed by that stall owner's little tricks."

"Yes, but who said they have no experience? No matter where they go to sell, they can't go to him."

"Yes, I guess he doesn't know."

"A few taels of silver suddenly turned into a few copper coins, but he didn't expect that the monkey was not dead at all, but just temporarily comatose, but no one dared to say it."

"Oh, who dares to say? I remember one time someone exposed me on the spot, and then that person disappeared inexplicably."

"I heard that one of his relatives seems to be a disciple of a sect, so he is confident."

"Who knows, I don't dare to say it anyway, we'd better leave quickly before he hears us."

"Yes, leave quickly!"

Only then did Lin Yi know the complete story. At that time, he couldn't understand why a monkey that was obviously good suddenly fell to the ground.

So that's it. Thinking of this, Lin Yi clenched his little fist tightly. The stall owner was so hateful. He might harm a family, but Lin Yi had nothing to do. Before he knew it, Lin Yi had already arrived in front of Lin's father.

At this time, Father Lin had already sold out all the items. Seeing Lin Yi's expression, he asked, "Xiao Yi, what's wrong?"

Lin Yi told what happened before.

Father Lin said: "There are all kinds of people here, so you have to be more careful about everything."

Lin Yi silently remembered it in his heart and asked: "Dad, where are we going next?"

"To Qingyaotang, where we buy herbs."

Along the way, Lin Yi kept looking around curiously, and Father Lin introduced them. When they arrived in front of a magnificent attic.

Father Lin said: "This is the best restaurant in town. The prices inside are extremely expensive. If our family goes there for a meal, it will not cover the food expenses for a year. This is a place where only dignitaries can come."

Lin Yi looked at the people coming in and out. They were all dressed in bright clothes and their faces were full of brilliance. It was obvious that their families were very wealthy. They were really two different worlds.

Not long after, the two arrived in front of Qingyaotang.
