Chapter 90: Chapter 90: Seeing Liu Yiyuan Again

Translator: 549690339

“There’s no need to rush to defend yourself, I only found out after following Master that there is a teleportation array leading to the black market behind the prosperous Shengyuan gambling house.”

“Lin Daoyou, when you came here before, it must have been to enter the black market, right? I had thought you, like me, had an appreciation for the pleasures of this place…

Having said this, Wu Nie then took a black token from his person and showed it to Lin Jing, saying:

“Now, I too have a black market token, and can enter the black market.”

After that, Wu Nie put away the token and continued:

“However, it seems Lin Daoyou you haven’t been to the black market for quite some time.”

“Why do you say that?” Lin Jing asked, puzzled.

Wu Nie began to explain:

“The teleportation arrays in this area were almost completely destroyed due to the beast tide.”

“So the Fang Market took down these arrays and moved them elsewhere.” “Around here, there’s not a single teleportation array left.”

“If Lin Daoyou wants to go to the black market, you can only leave this area and head for other arrays.”

Then, Wu Nie patted his chest and said:

“Of course, if Lin Daoyou doesn’t know where the other teleportation arrays are, I can take you there.”

“Thank you for the reminder, but there’s no need to trouble Wu Daoyou,” Lin Jing declined Wu Nie’s kind offer.

Afterward, the two exchanged a few more words, and Lin Jing took his leave.

He didn’t go looking for other teleportation arrays but instead returned directly to the Inner Fang Market.

The next evening, Lin Jing went out again and finally found a teleportation array, through which he entered the black market.

As before, Lin Jing donned a broad-brimmed hat and made his way into the depths of the black market.

Upon arriving at the entrance, the rules of the black market were still the same; after paying with spirit stones, Lin Jing entered.

He first made a round inside but did not find the person selling The Hidden Dragon Pendant of the Azure Moon.

However, Lin Jing was not concerned, for he had previously mentioned that he would only visit the black market every few days, perhaps he had just come the day before.

Next, Lin Jing rented a stall and began setting up.

Like before, Lin Jing put out a Pure Elixir Medicine, placed it on the stall with a sign, and started selling.

Perhaps because the beast tide had caused so many to leave, there were fewer people entering the black market than before.

Until the pre-dawn sky began to brighten, and it was nearly time to light up, Lin Jing had only sold one elixir medicine and was getting ready to close up his stall.

Since he was waiting for a transaction, Lin Jing was not in a hurry.

Seeing that the person had still not come, Lin Jing simply packed up and left the black market.

In the days that followed, he would visit the black market every day.

At first, Lin Jing was not anxious.

But then…

With the second visit…

The third visit…

The fourth visit to the Fang Market, and still not having seen that person.

After that, several more days passed.

Lin Jing waited another two days and then went to the black market twice more, still with no sign of that person.

“Could it be that he perished in the beast tide?” Lin Jing could not help but mutter to himself.

That night, much time had passed since the agreed upon date, and several days had already elapsed.

Lin Jing looked out the window, contemplated for a while, and decided to go one more time; if that person failed to show up again, he would let it be.

Afterward, Lin Jing left his residence.

Entering the black market. Lin ling, as ever, made a round first.

However…

As he walked, it was at that same spot from before that Lin Jing saw the familiar sign, lifting his head.

Wasn’t it the same stall owner who had sold The Hidden Dragon Pendant of the Azure Moon before?

And there it was, The Hidden Dragon Pendant of the Azure Moon displayed on the stall.

Lin Jing’s heart leapt, and he approached. “Fellow Taoist, you truly made me wait…”

The cultivator replied:

“Fellow Taoist, I am truly sorry. I was injured before and have been recuperating until now, making you wait for a long time.”

“Cough… cough…”

After finishing, he coughed twice, obviously not yet fully recovered from his injuries.

Then, regardless of his own condition, he hurriedly asked: “Fellow Taoist, have you gathered all the Elixir Medicines?”

“Mm!”

Lin Jing nodded in response and continued:

“Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come here specifically to wait for you.”

“That’s wonderful…” The vendor was excited.

“Vendor, I see that this Jade Pendant is quite nice. May I know what function it has?”

“Would you sell it to me?”

Just as Lin Jing and the vendor were talking, a voice interrupted them.

Lin Jing found the voice somewhat familiar and turned to look, only to see two people walking towards them.

One of them, a young man dressed in a Taoist robe and wearing a look of arrogance, was actually someone Lin Jing recognized.

“It’s actually him…” Lin Jing was a bit surprised to see the person.

This individual was none other than the Foundation Establishment Cultivator with whom Lin Jing had a history—Liu Yiyuan.

Looking at him now, he seemed to be completely unharmed.

“Wasn’t he supposed to rest and recuperate for a while? How come he has recovered so quickly?” Lin Jing thought to himself.

Previously, he had been accidentally bitten by a Flame Poison Variant and was severely poisoned. It was only due to the Detoxification Elixir refined by Elder

Yu that he was saved.

However, even after taking the Detoxification Elixir to expel the poison, fully recovering was not something that could happen swiftly.

Elder Yu had also mentioned this before.

Lin Jing guessed that perhaps the Wu Cai Immortal had found him some other medicinal pills.

The vendor looked up at Liu Yiyuan and then shook his head, saying:

“I’ve already made arrangements with someone for this Jade Pendant, and I won’t sell it to anyone else.”

“Besides, this Jade Pendant only has a concealing feature. It cannot be used for attack or defense. Considering the distinguished status of this young master, you should not need it.”

Liu Yiyuan chuckled lightly and retorted:

“Vendor, you are wrong there. As long as the Jade Pendant is still displayed on the stall, it means it can still be sold. What do arrangements matter?”

“Whoever offers more money naturally gets it. How much did your arranged buyer offer? I will offer twenty percent more than he did.”

While saying this, Liu Yiyuan turned his gaze to Lin Jing, sized him up, and looked disdainful before turning his head back to the vendor.

It seemed that he thought Lin Jing, judging by his attire, couldn’t possibly be the person who had made the arrangement with the vendor.

The vendor shook his head, looked at Liu Yiyuan, and said: “Fellow Taoist, the price he is offering, you probably can’t afford.”

Liu Yiyuan was provoked into laughter: “Hehe…”

“I refuse to believe that within this Fang Market, there’s anything that the Liu

Clan cannot afford to buy.”

“Come on, tell me your price.”

The vendor did not continue to argue with him, but instead said to Lin Jing: “Fellow Taoist, please could you step aside and let him have a look at that plaque. ”

Only then did Lin Jing realize he had been blocking the vendor’s plaque.

Lin Jing then stepped back a couple of paces and Liu Yiyuan turned to look.

Upon seeing the contents on the plaque, Liu Yiyuan was taken aback.

“Three Pure Foundation Building Elixirs, three Pure Accumulation Pills…”

“Ten premium Foundation Building Elixirs…”

“Twenty premium Gathering Yuan Pills…”

“Have you lost your mind? Are you really planing to trade this Jade Pendant for

Pure Elixir Medicines?”
