However, this was just the beginningâ¦
After that man left, a few others spotted Lin Jingâs stallâ¦
These people were clearly in a group, and after some discussion, each of them bought a Pure Elixir Medicine.
After these people finished purchasing the Elixir Medicines, they leftâ¦
Since Lin Jingâs stall was in a rather remote location, almost at the very end of the street, there werenât many visitorsâ¦
But Lin Jing wasnât in a hurry; his main purpose was to wait for Ning Yue and the others to arrive.
As long as the news of the Elixir Valley Heir spread out, there would be no lack of visitors.
Sure enough, not long after those people leftâ¦
The news of the Elixir Valley Heirâs appearance once again began to circulate in the black market.
As more and more people heard the news and came, Lin Jingâs stall was once again surrounded.
The scene got very lively for a whileâ¦
The thirty-some Elixir Medicines that Lin Jing brought out this time were quickly snatched up by the crowd.
Had it not been for Lin Jingâs prior restriction that each person could only buy two at most,
those Elixir Medicines would have probably been gone much earlier.
With the rest of the Elixir Medicines sold out, and just as everyone was losing interestâ¦
Lin Jing took out the last Elixir Medicine from his Storage Bag and said to the crowd in front of his stall:
âFellow Daoists, this is the last Elixir Medicine I brought out this time.â
âThe Pure Foundation Building Elixirâ¦â
In fact, as soon as Lin Jing took out the Elixir Medicine, some sharp-eyed individuals noticed that it was a Pure Foundation Building Elixir.
The value of a Pure Foundation Building Elixir was much greater than that of the other Elixir Medicines.
Everyoneâs eyes shone as they looked at the Pure Foundation Building Elixir.
âFellow Daoist, is this the only Pure Foundation Building Elixir?â
Soon, someone couldnât hold back and began to ask.
Lin Jing nodded and said:
âYesâ¦â
âThere is only this one Pure Foundation Building Elixir.â
No sooner had Lin Jing finished speaking, another voice rose from the crowd:
âMay I know how you intend to sell this Pure Foundation Building Elixir, Fellow Daoist?â
âIs it still 100 Medium Grade Spirit Stones?â
As soon as this person finished speaking, a corpulent cultivator spoke up to refute:
â100 Medium Grade Spirit Stones, what are you thinking?â
âThis is a Foundation Building Elixir, a Pure Foundation Building Elixirâ¦â
Lin Jing looked up to see who had spokenâ¦
He saw that the cultivator was exceptionally corpulent, taking up the space of three people by himself.
Moreover, this person wasnât wearing a Black Gauze Bamboo Hat to conceal himself.
It seemed unnecessary, given his rare physique; there was probably no need for him to hide.
After speaking, he turned back to Lin Jing and said:
âFellow Daoist, Iâll take the Pure Foundation Building Elixir, name your priceâ¦â
No sooner had he finished speakingâ¦
The person who had been refuted immediately followed up with an explanation:
âI was just asking a question; I didnât say I would definitely buy it with 100 Medium Grade Spirit Stonesâ¦â
âOf course, I know that the Pure Foundation Building Elixir is valuableâ¦â
After explaining and feeling it wasnât enough, he went on to angrily refute the corpulent cultivator:
âYou want it?â
âOn what grounds do you want it? Because you have a big face?â
At these wordsâ¦
The surroundings immediately erupted into quiet âpu-chiâ laughterâ¦
They were obviously amused by the comment.
Lin Jing looked back at the corpulent cultivatorâ¦
Goodnessâ¦
The manâs face was indeed not small, and the fat on his face was sagging, almost becoming wideâ¦
Lin Jing almost burst out laughing.
But the cultivator with the big face, as if a sore spot had been poked, immediately yelled at the other cultivator:
âThat is the cultivation technique I practice, the techniqueâ¦â
Following that, the two of them started arguing on the spot.
However, given that this was the black market, no one dared to make a move.
The scene became exceedingly chaotic for a momentâ¦
It seemed that many people had their eyes on the Pure Foundation Building Elixir.
At this point, Lin Jing had to speak up.
âEveryone, please quiet downâ¦â
Seeing Lin Jing speak, the two who were arguing also quieted down, turned their heads away, and stopped looking at each other.
Even though they were not willing to concede to one another, they still had to give face to the Elixir Valley Heir.
Then, everyone turned their attention to Lin Jing.
Lin Jing surveyed the crowd, ready to present his solutionâ¦
Just then, his gaze shifted through the crowd and unexpectedly landed on Ning Yue.
At this moment, Ning Yue was walking towards this placeâ¦
No doubt, they had arrived here after hearing the news about the Elixir Valley Heir.
Following Ning Yue was Li Tangyu, and an elderly man in a purple robe with all white hair and beard.
This elder with the visage of a youthful old man led the way, and if Lin Jing wasnât mistaken, it must be the Ning Familyâs patriarch.
However, Lin Jing merely glanced at them before moving on, without lingering his gaze on the group.
Next, Lin Jing spoke to the people in front of him:
âSince you all want it, there is no point in arguing. The owner of this Pure Foundation Building Elixir will be the highest bidder.â
As Lin Jingâs words ended, the rotund cultivator who had been called âbig-facedâ immediately said:
âI bid 300 Midium Grade Spirit Stones.â
But no sooner had his words fallen than the cultivator who had been sparring with him also called out a price:
âI bid 400â¦â
â500, Midium Grade Spirit Stonesâ¦â
The rotund cultivator followed up.
â800 Midium Grade Spirit Stones, I really want this Pure Foundation Building Elixirâ¦â
At this point, one cultivator wearing an ancient bronze mask spoke up.
A bid of 800 Midium Grade Spirit Stones indeed wasnât low.
Even the rotund cultivator and his bidding rival stopped raising the price.
Shortly after the voice of the man in the ancient bronze mask fell, another voice came from behind the crowd.
âMy young friend, pardon the intrusionâ¦â
âThis old one has business to discuss with the Elixir Valley friend todayâ¦â
âI offer 5000 Midium Grade Spirit Stones to purchase this Pure Foundation Building Elixir.â
As the voice ended, everyone turned their heads to look backward.
They saw Ning Yue and the other twoâ¦
Since none of the three had made any attempt at concealing themselves,
Lin Jing saw them very clearlyâ¦
The one who spoke was indeed the Ning Family patriarch.
5000 Midium Grade Spirit Stones, far exceeding the value of the Pure Foundation Building Elixir; it seemed that he wouldnât offer such a high price if he didnât have an important matter.
Thatâs what everyone thoughtâ¦
Seeing Ning Yue and the others approaching the stall, the crowd that had been jostling close together quickened to part to the sides and cleared a path.
At this moment, none of the onlookers left; they all wanted to witness the moment of the Pure Elixir Medicine transaction.
The Ning Familyâs patriarch reached the stall and directly took out a small Storage Bag meant for transactions and handed it to Lin Jing.
âHere are 5000 Midium Grade Spirit Stones, young friend, please verifyâ¦â
Even Lin Jing had not expected the Ning Family patriarch to start off by handing over 5000 Midium Grade Spirit Stones upon his arrivalâ¦
This move stunned not only the surrounding crowd but even Lin Jing himself for a moment.
âHe actually meant itâ¦â
âHe really plans to use 5000 Midium Grade Spirit Stones to buy this Pure Elixir Medicine.â
A shock ran through the crowd, some even exclaimed aloud.
Meanwhile, Lin Jing pondered inwardly:
âI wonder what Ning Yue told him when he returned; the Ning Family patriarch has yet to bring up the matter of the seed, and yet he is offering 5000 Midium Grade Spirit Stones right off the bat.â
âNow it seems that the issue with the seed hasnât been resolved by the Li Family either.â
âThe situation doesnât look too goodâ¦â
