Chapter 101 - 101 The Youth in Red
After entering the black market, Lin Jing took out a black cap from his Storage Bag and headed towards the inner part of the market.
Walking along the path, surrounded by overgrown weeds and trees, Lin Jing looked at the layout of the black market and felt very suspicious that it was likely located within a secret valley not far from the Fang Market, simply concealed by a Formation, hence undetectable to outsiders.
Moreover, when arriving through the Teleportation Array, each array transported people to different areas, which largely reduced the possibility of encountering each other.
Upon reaching the black market and paying the fee, Lin Jing once again came to the stall where he usually sold Elixir Medicine and set up his sign.
No sooner had he put up the sign than people noticed and quickly made their way over.
Then, Lin Jing took out several Pure Elixirs from his Storage Bag and placed them on the stall.
The moment the elixirs were displayed, a lavishly dressed middle-aged man had already arrived at the stall and spoke up directly:
“Fellow Daoist, I’ll take all these Pure Elixirs.”
Following that, more people gathered around, and upon hearing what the middle-aged man said, someone immediately responded:
“Fellow Daoist, you can’t do this.”
“There are only so many elixirs, if you take them all, what will we buy?”
After all, the Elixir Medicines Lin Jing sold were now particularly coveted, and even if one didn’t need them, they could be resold to others.
Currently in the Fang Market, the First Rank Pure Elixirs sold by Lin Jing had already gone up to 800 Spirit Stones each, and many people thought of making a profit off these Pure Elixirs.
But under the current circumstances, with someone wanting to take all the elixirs, it naturally aroused the discontent of others.
“Exactly, you can’t just take them all for yourself.”
“I think the friends from Elixir Valley should limit purchases so that each person can only buy one, that way everyone has a chance.”
“That’s a good idea, I support it.”
“Fellow Daoist, please limit the purchases, otherwise, someone will buy them all.
“Yes, please put a limit on it…”
As more and more people spoke up, the scene began to get a bit chaotic.
Lin Jing, watching all this, furrowed his brows and said:
“Everybody quiet down!”
After changing his appearance, Lin Jing’s voice also changed, becoming somewhat hoarse, but when he spoke, it was very effective.
Hearing Lin Jing’s voice, everyone quieted down, turning their attention to him.
You could see Lin Jing, calm and composed, taking out a plaque and starting to write on it.
“First Rank Pure Elixir, priced at 6 Midium Grade Spirit Stones each, limited to two per person.”
“Second Rank Pure Elixir, price negotiable.”
“Additionally: From today onwards, except for Pure Elixirs, no other Elixir Medicines will be sold.
After finishing writing, Lin Jing placed the sign in front of the stall.
Then the noise started again, and a man stepped forward to ask:
“Fellow Daoist, I don’t have many Spirit Stones to purchase Pure Elixirs, I wanted to buy some Supreme Elixirs, are you not selling other elixirs anymore?”
“Yes, I also came to buy Supreme Elixirs.”
“Why stop selling them?”
“We hope the friend from Elixir Valley can give us an explanation?” Many in the crowd, just like the man, had come for other types of elixirs.
“Silence!” Lin Jing spoke again.
The crowd quieted down, waiting for Lin Jing’s response.
Lin Jing scanned the crowd and then said:
“Fellow Daoists.”
“Firstly, I am very grateful for everyone’s trust in our Elixir Valley!”
“The decision to exclusively sell Pure Elixirs is due to recent incidents in the Fang Market where some individuals have been selling Elixir Medicines under the name of our Elixir Valley and raising prices to deceive fellow Daoists.”
“To prevent more people from being cheated, we at Elixir Valley have decided to no longer sell Elixir Medicines other than Pure Elixirs from now on. I hope you all understand.”
“Additionally, the elixir medicines refined by our Elixir Valley are no different from those made by other pill masters, so I hope fellow Daoists will not act impulsively and make your choices carefully,”
As Lin Jing’s words ended, another wave of commotion erupted from the crowd, but it was short-lived.
Seeing that there were no elixir medicines available for purchase, many people could only sigh and then left the place.
After those people had left, the elegantly dressed middle-aged man who spoke up first asked,
“Fellow Daoist…”
“Is it really not possible to buy up all these first-rank Pure Elixirs? I’m willing to pay a premium.”
Lin Jing knew that this person wanted to buy all the elixirs, certainly to take advantage of Elixir Valley’s reputation and resell them at a higher price.
He planned to sell these elixirs for a long time to come.
He didn’t want his elixirs to become the culprit for disrupting the prices within the Fang Market.
Otherwise, he would be the one to suffer in the long run.
Lin Jing shook his head and said, “TWO Pure Elixirs per person.”
After saying this, he didn’t say anything more.
The man sighed and did not say anything further.
“I’ll take two.” After saying this, he began to make a selection.
The elixir medicines Lin Jing displayed at his stall totaled ten, including Energy Gathering Pills, Energy Restoration Elixirs, Blood Coagulation Pills, and Poison Avoidance Elixirs, covering a variety of types.
The prices of these elixirs weren’t much different, so Lin Jing set a uniform price: each elixir was 6 Medium Grade Spirit Stones, which equates to 660 Lower Grade Spirit Stones.
The middle-aged man picked out an Energy Gathering Pill and an Energy Restoration Elixir, then took out 12 Medium Grade Spirit Stones and placed them on the counter.
Then, among the remaining people, others also started calling out.
“I’ll take two as well…” “Me too, I’ll take two…’
“I want one…”
Following that, various shouts came from in front of Lin Jing’s stall.
The ten first-rank Pure Elixirs were quickly all sold out.
And Lin Jing had earned an income of 60 Medium Grade Spirit Stones.
After the crowd dispersed, only one second-rank Pure Gathering Yuan Pill remained on his stall.
With nothing much to do, Lin Jing then stayed behind his stall, waiting for the next buyer.
However, it wasn’t long before a youth in red clothes came to the stall and asked,
“Fellow Daoist, what’s the price for your Gathering Yuan Pill?”
Lin Jing looked up at the person.
He was surprised to find that he had seen him before.
It was the red -clothed youth who had been with Liu Yiyuan when exchanging The Hidden Dragon Pendant of the Azure Moon.
“Pure Gathering Yuan Pill, 70 Medium Grade Spirit Stones,” Lin Jing said.
After prices returned to normal, the usual cost of a Pure Gathering Yuan Pill would be between 50 and 60 Medium Grade Spirit Stones.
Lin Jing’s price of 70 Medium Grade Spirit Stones was indeed a bit higher than the usual rate.
However, considering that second-rank Pure Elixirs were often priceless and that his elixirs also carried the Elixir Valley’s brand, a selling price of 70 Medium Grade Spirit Stones was wholly within an acceptable range. After hearing this, the red-clothed youth frowned slightly, then spoke, “I’ll buy this Pure Gathering Yuan Pill.”
After saying this, the red-clothed youth took out 70 Medium Grade Spirit Stones from his Storage Bag and handed them to Lin Jing.
Lin Jing took the Spirit Stones and then picked up the Pure Jade Box from the stall and handed it to the red-clothed youth.
The red-clothed youth accepted the elixir but did not leave; instead, he continued to speak,
“Fellow Daoist, may I ask if you have any Pure Accumulation Pills for sale?”
