“Pure Accumulation Pill?”

Lin Jing frowned and shook his head, saying:

Then, the youth in red continued to speak to Lin Jing:

“I’m in urgent need of the Pure Accumulation Pill.”

“May I ask, fellow Daoist, if it were to be refined by your Elixir Valley, could it be done in a short period of time?”

Looking at the red-robed youth before him, Lin Jing remembered something Liu Yiyuan had let slip by accident two months ago, when trading for The Hidden Dragon Pendant of the Azure Moon with a stall owner.

Back then, Liu Yiyuan had said that the Pure Accumulation Pill would be extremely difficult to find, even more precious than the pure Foundation Building Elixir.

Lin Jing was initially puzzled by this statement.

But before long, Liu Yiyuan’s words proved true.

Within a short period, the entire Fang Market was swept clean of Pure Accumulation Pills.

Even the elixir medicines others had been hoarding were bought out at high prices.

Following that…

The main ingredient for making Clear Accumulation Elixirs—the Dust Cleansing Grass—was secretly bought up en masse by someone.

Before long, there was scarcely any to be found within the entire market.

Moreover, not just in Nanshan Market, but also within several Immortal Cities close to the market, the situation was the same.

Even Yuebaolou only had fewer than a hundred Dust Cleansing Grass plants left, and that was reserved expressly for emergencies.

However…

Fortunately, the Clear Accumulation Elixir was rarely needed by cultivators, and even without the Pure Accumulation Pill, nothing much would be impacted.

So, at first, not many people paid attention to it.

It was only when the price of Dust Cleansing Grass kept soaring, multiplying several times over seemingly out of thin air, that people started taking notice.

However, by then, there was hardly any Dust Cleansing Grass available on the market, making it impossible to purchase even if one wanted to.

At this point, Lin Jing understood.

Perhaps after this, there would be some major moves from Liu Yiyuan and this red-robed youth’s family.

At this moment, this red -robed youth came to him specifically asking for Pure Accumulation Pills; Lin Jing couldn’t help but become vigilant.

“Could this be a test?”

Lin Jing looked at the red-robed youth before him, pondered for a moment, and then said:

“I’m terribly sorry, fellow Daoist, our Elixir Valley does not have any Puren/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Accumulation Pills either.”

“You must be aware of the current situation in the markets.”

“And not just the markets, even the several Immortal Cities close by probably don’t have the main ingredient necessary to refine the Clear Accumulation Elixir—Dust Cleansing Grass.”

“Although we in Elixir Valley remain secluded and don’t appear in public, many of the spirit plants we need are still purchased from the nearby cities.”

“The Pure Accumulation Pill you require is, I’m afraid, beyond our capabilities as well.”

Even after Lin Jing had said this, the red-robed man still didn’t give up and persisted in asking:

“Fellow Daoist.”

“I really do urgently need the Pure Accumulation Pill!”

“I would like to ask you, if I can provide you with Dust Cleansing Grass, do you know how long it would take your Elixir Valley to refine it?”

At this point, the red-robed man looked extremely sincere.

However, to Lin Jing, his words were all too clear, and he even claimed he could provide Dust Cleansing Grass.

This only made Lin Jing more certain of his suspicion that they were definitely involved in this matter.

“Don’t worry, fellow Daoist, as long as your Elixir Valley can refine it, I promise the reward will be substantial,” the man assured. After hearing this, Lin Jing thought scornfully:

“Substantial reward…”

“If I actually managed to refine it, I bet the first thing they would do is find a way to track me down and silence me.”

Guided by the principle that less trouble is better than more, Lin Jing simply responded:

“You jest, fellow Daoist.”

“Within our Elixir Valley, there are only a few Pill Masters devoted to researching the Alchemy Dao. Although we do have some methods that could slightly increase the success rate of refining pure elixir medicines…”

“However, if fellow Daoist specifically wants Pure Elixir Medicine, and it’s

Second Rank Elixir Medicine at that, I’m afraid no one can guarantee that.”

“Otherwise, our Elixir Valley would have left Nanming Domain long ago in search of better development. ”

“Is that so…”

After listening to Lin Jing’s words, the red-robed man seemed somewhat disappointed.

But in Lin Jing’s eyes, it was all an act.

In fact…

Lin Jing wasn’t without Pure Cleansing Grass; he had just harvested the Spirit Plants in his Spirit Field, which included plenty of Pure Cleansing Grass, enough to refine Clear Accumulation Elixir in 100 furnaces.

Yet, as there was no Pure Cleansing Grass for sale anywhere recently, if he brought it out, it might become problematic to explain.

Just then, another person approached.

Lin Jing turned his head to look, and the newcomer was none other than Liu Yiyuan.

Liu Yiyuan approached the stall and first greeted the red-robed man.

“Brother Li, you’re here too.” “Didn’t I hear that you urgently need a Pure Accumulation Pill?”

“Could it be that you’ve come to…” “Brother Liu.”

The red-robed man nodded in response:

“To not hide it from Brother Liu, indeed, I wanted to find this friend from Elixir Valley and buy a Pure Accumulation Pill.”

“But heaven does not always fulfill one’s wishes, and even Elixir Valley does not have any Pure Accumulation Pills.” Liu Yiyuan shook his head and said:

“Ah… what a pity!”

Watching the two’s acting skills compete against each other, Lin Jing couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Then, Liu Yiyuan turned to face Lin Jing.

“This friend from Elixir Valley, I’ve long heard of your great reputation, and I came specially today to buy Elixir Medicine from you.”

“I am Liu Yiyuan from the Liu Clan of Fang Market, and my family ancestor is none other than Wu Cai Immortal.”

Lin Jing spoke up:

“So it’s the descendant of Wu Cai Immortal, I’ve long admired you.”

“Haha… Fellow Daoist flatters me.”

Liu Yiyuan laughed twice, then continued:

“What kinds of Elixir Medicine do you have here, fellow Daoist?” “If possible, I’d like to buy them all, consider it making a friend.”

Lin Jing then spoke:

“Young Master Liu has come a bit late; all of the Elixir Medicine has already been sold out.”

After that, he pointed to the red-robed man: “The last Gathering Yuan Pill, also a Pure Pill, was bought by this fellow Daoist.”

“There really are none left?” Liu Yiyuan frowned, looking at the empty stall.

“I wanted to buy an Elixir Medicine as a gift. If fellow Daoist still has any, please don’t hide them.”

“A gift?” Lin Jing instantly remembered Huang Qingling’s complaints, and an idea sprang to mind.

“May I know who fellow Daoist Liu wishes to gift this Elixir Medicine to? Is this person of importance to fellow Daoist?” Lin Jing asked Liu Yiyuan.

Liu Yiyuan nodded: “To not hide it from fellow Daoist, this person is very important to me.”

“Could it be that fellow Daoist still has Elixir Medicine?” Liu Yiyuan looked at Lin Jing, a surge of joy appearing.

Lin Jing hesitated for a moment, then spoke: “Actually, I do have one more Elixir Medicine, but this one is something I’ve specifically reserved for my own breakthroughs.”

As he said this, Lin Jing took out a Gathering Yuan Pill from his Storage Bag.

“Not to hide it from fellow Daoist, my talent for cultivation is extremely poor. Without a significant supply of Elixir Medicine, I couldn’t possibly have reached my current realm.”

“And this Elixir Medicine is the reward from Elixir Valley for my years of contributions to them.”

After speaking, Lin Jing paused, seeming very hesitant.

“If fellow Daoist is truly in a hurry, then I have no objection to selling you this

Elixir Medicine..”
