“Really?”

Liu Yiyuan’s eyes lit up instantly.

“If Fellow Daoist could really sell me a pill, this young master would be eternally grateful.”

He actually cared a lot about face; having boasted in front of Huang Qingling that he would give her an elixir, he had to make it happen.

If he saw her next time and couldn’t produce it, wouldn’t he become the laughingstock of everyone?

Although he was on good terms with the man in red, there was still a certain competitive relationship between their two families.

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, he wouldn’t want to trade with the man in red for that Pure Gathering Yuan Pill.

“Of course,” Lin Jing replied.

After speaking, he hesitated for a moment before continuing:

“Fellow Daoist Liu, this pill was originally meant for my breakthrough, if I sell it to you, I’m afraid I don’t know when I’ll be able to break through.”

“So, this pill…”

Lin Jing did not continue, trusting that Liu Yiyuan understood.

With a smile on his face, Liu Yiyuan said, “I naturally understand your dilemma, Fellow Daoist. This pill must indeed come with a higher price.”

“Then, Fellow Daoist, how much do you want, how about 7,000 Lower Grade Spirit Stones?”

“Fellow Daoist Liu, you must be joking,” Lin Jing said with a smile as he looked at Liu Yiyuan.

“What do you mean by this?” Liu Yiyuan asked, puzzled.

In his mind, the worth of a Pure Elixir Medicine was around 6,000 Lower Grade Spirit Stones, and offering 7,000 Lower Grade Spirit Stones was already quite generous.

Then, the man in red beside them spoke up to remind:

“The one I just bought cost me 70 Spirit Stones, Midium Grade.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Yiyuan was shocked: “How could it be so expensive?” The man in red shook his head and sighed:

“You’ve either been recovering from cultivation or devoting your energies to that woman lately; it seems you’re quite out of touch.”

“This pill in my hand has sold for up to 80 Midium Grade Spirit Stones in Fang

Market.”

“Don’t forget, this is refined by Elixir Valley and is in high demand; it’s not something any ordinary elixir medicine can compare to.”

After listening, Liu Yiyuan frowned deeply before asking Lin Jing again:

“May I ask, Fellow Daoist, how much do you plan to sell this pill for?”

No sooner had Liu Yiyuan finished speaking than Lin Jing raised his arm, extending one finger:

“100, Midium Grade Spirit Stones.”

Lin Jing, recalling what Liu Yiyuan had done to Luo Luo that day,

Now that he had the chance, he certainly wanted to swindle him if he could.

Therefore…

Lin Jing called out the exorbitant price of 100 Midium Grade Spirit Stones.

After hearing this, Liu Yiyuan looked at the elixir and remained silent, furrowing his brows.

He could afford the 100 Midium Grade Spirit Stones, but purchasing a Pure Energy Gathering Pill for that price still seemed too expensive to him.

The man in red saw Liu Yiyuan’s hesitation and spoke:

“Brother Liu, how about this, I’ll give you the one I have. Indeed, 100 Midium Grade Spirit Stones is a bit too expensive.”

Liu Yiyuan looked up at the man in red and said:

“Brother Li, thank you for your kind offer.”

“100 Midium Grade Spirit Stones isn’t too much for me; I can definitely afford it, so please don’t trouble yourself, Brother Li.”

After speaking, Liu Yiyuan took out 100 Midium Grade Spirit Stones from his Storage Bag and handed them to Lin Jing. The man in red sighed helplessly to the side.

“Alas…”

Lin Jing reached out to take the Spirit Stones and then handed over the pill.

“Fellow Daoist Liu, the pill is now yours.”

Liu Yiyuan took the elixir medicine, examined it, and then put it away.

“Brother Liu, now that you’ve got the elixir, there might be some matters at home. How about we take our leave now?” the red-robed youth said to Liu

Yiyuan.

“That works.” Liu Yiyuan nodded.

The two then bid farewell to Lin Jing.

Just as they were about to leave, the red-robed youth addressed Lin Jing again:

“Dao friend, if your Elixir Valley can concoct the Pure Accumulation Pill, please do send word to me.”

“I would be eternally grateful.”

After speaking, the two of them left together.

Before long, Lin Jing also packed up and left the black market.

The next day, Lin Jing arrived at Yuebaolou and went straight to Elder Yu.

“Elder Yu…” Lin Jing came over and greeted Elder Yu directly.

“Lin lad, you normally stay busy with alchemy; why are you here today?” Elder Yu said with a smile.

“Isn’t it just because I’ve been cooped up refining elixirs day in, day out and felt a bit stifled? I came out to relax a little and decided to drop by to see you,” Lin Jing said, then passed a bottle of Qinghua Zhu to him.

“Elder Yu, you haven’t visited my place for a while. Could it be that the meals I prepare don’t suit your palate?” Lin Jing teased. Elder Yu took the Qinghua Zhu and teased back:

“You rascal…”

“Who dares to say your cooking doesn’t suit their taste? It’s nearly on a par with the head chef at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion. I’ve just been tied up here at the counter.”

Lin Jing looked at Elder Yu with curiosity:

“Elder Yu, as a Third Rank Alchemist, you don’t need to be stuck here at the counter; it’s something you could entrust to others.”

“Why are you here every day?”

“Perhaps it’s just a habit…” Elder Yu replied, gazing into the distance.

“My cultivation has reached the peak of Foundation Establishment, and I can’t progress any further. With my aptitude, breaking through to the Golden Core Staze is likely a lost cause, unless I manaze to get mv hands on a Cultivation True Elixir, and then I might stand a chance to fight for it.”

“As for the Alchemy Dao, I have also reached a bottleneck. Moreover, there are very few Third Rank elixir medicines. Sometimes it takes one to two years, or as many as four to five years, to get a chance to concoct one.”

“Since I cannot improve, rather than spending time alone at home, it’s better to be here, watching people come and go every day, and I might even gain new insights. ”

“So that’s the case…” Lin Jing suddenly understood.

Then, Lin Jing scanned the counter and saw that it only displayed some First and Second Rank spirit grasses.

Lin Jing asked Elder Yu:

“Elder Yu, doesn’t Yuebaolou have any Third Rank spirit grasses for elixir medicines?”

“Of course, we have Third Rank spirit grasses. What’s that got to do with you?” Elder Yu asked, puzzled.

Lin Jing continued, “Then why did you just say that it takes so long to concoct Third Rank elixirs?”

Elder Yu gave Lin Jing a disdainful look and explained, “Third Rank elixir medicines, do you think they are like those First and Second Rank elixirs?”

“Just gathering the alchemy ingredients for a Third Rank elixir takes a very long time. ”

“Do you know why in Fang Market, Elder Master Li of the Li Family is the only Fourth Grade Pill Master?” Elder Yu asked.

Lin Jing shook his head, then said, “I don’t know; please enlighten me, Elder

Elder Yu began to explain:

“It’s because Third Rank spirit plants are hard to find. Ordinary Third Rank Alchemists often can’t concoct a furnace for several years. Without sufficient experience, how can they advance to Fourth Grade?”

“And Elder Master Li, he had been at the Third Rank Alchemist level for a full two hundred years before he was promoted to Fourth Grade.”

“How much does Yuebaolou have in terms of Third Rank spirit plants? Are they expensive?” Lin Jing continued to inquire.

Elder Yu stated candidly:

“Yuebaolou does not have a large stock of Third Rank spirit plants, and most of them are auxiliary materials for alchemy..”
