“Don’t worry, with me, old Yan around, Old Wei will certainly be fine. If there really is a need, I will come to the black market to find you, how about that?”
“But you must take good care of this elixir medicine.”
Perhaps because the elixir was too precious, Yan Xiong refused to accept it no matter what.
Lin Jing had no choice but to bid farewell and leave.
When Lin Jing arrived at Fang Market, Li Tangyu and the man in black were already there waiting.
Before he even approached, Li Tangyu spotted Lin Jing.
Despite his face being covered by a wide-brimmed hat, his figure and attire made him easy to recognize.
“Fellow Daoist, we were just talking about you.”
Li Tangyu walked over with a smile, the man in black following closely behind.
“Fellow Daoist Li.”
“Fellow Daoist,” Lin Jing greeted the two.
They both returned the greeting.
“You’re too kind, fellow Daoist. May I ask if you were able to concoct the Pure Body Restoration Pill?” Li Tangyu looked at Lin Jing with anticipation.
Lin Jing didn’t reply but instead said:
“Fellow Daoist Li, how about we go to the Secret Trade Room in the black market?”
Upon hearing this, Li Tangyu’s eyes lit up immediately.
“This is promising.”
The man in black also discerned the implication in Lin Jing’s words and was equally excited.
The Secret Trade Room in the black market is a place specifically for the transaction of confidential items because some things simply cannot be exposed to the public eye. Therefore, the black market has established these Secret Trade Rooms.
Inside, apart from the trading parties, no outsiders would be allowed to disturb them—not even the administrators of the black market.
This was a rule set when the black market was first established, and to this day, no one has violated it.
Of course, inside the Secret Trade Room, there was no fear of treachery. Should only one party walk out of the transaction, they would not be able to leave the main entrance of the Secret Trade Room.
Li Tangyu then said: “Good.”
“Follow me.”
With that, Li Tangyu led the way, with Lin Jing and the man in black following behind him toward the deeper parts of the black market.
They eventually arrived at an antique-looking small building. Li Tangyu went straight in, with Lin Jing and the man in black following.
Once inside the small building, it was not very spacious. There was only a counter in the middle with two old men in black robes standing behind it.
“We’ll take a room,” Li Tangyu said, then took out a Medium Grade Spirit Stone from his Storage Bag and placed it on the counter.
One of the black-robed elders took the Spirit Stone, while the other took out a
Token and placed it on the counter.
“Room Yi three.”
With just that single sentence, the black-robed elder said no more. Li Tangyu took the Token with his hand and turned to the others, saying:
“Let’s go.”
Having said that, he led the way into a pitch-dark corridor.
Lin Jing and the man in black quickly followed suit.
In the corridor, the candlelight flickered, casting shadows. The walls, floor, and even the ceiling of the passage were all dark.
Walking through this corridor gave off a gloomy and oppressive feeling.
Soon, the three of them arrived at room Yi three.
Li Tangyu placed the Token he held into the groove on the door, which then emitted a bright light, and Formation Patterns emerged.
Immediately following, with a “click”, the door opened.
After the three entered the room, Li Tangyu closed the door behind them.
The room was much brighter inside, and it wasnt as oppressive as before.
Upon entering the room, Lin Jing was the first to speak:
“Fellow Daoist Li, may I ask if you have successfully concocted the Pure Body Restoration Pill in this past month?”
Li Tangyu shook his head with a wry smile:
“To be honest with you, this past month, I have been concocting at least two furnaces per day, sometimes even four. Up until now, I have nearly concocted a hundred batches of Rejuvenation Elixirs, but unfortunately, not a single Pure Elixir has emerged.”
As he spoke, Li Tangyu took out a porcelain bottle and handed it to Lin Jing.
“This is the best furnace of elixirs I’ve made in the past month, containing four
Supreme Rejuvenation Elixirs within one batch.”
“It’s a pity that there are no Pure Elixirs.”
Lin Jing took the porcelain bottle, opened the stopper, and a fragrance of elixir instantly wafted out, rushing towards Lin Jing’s nostrils.
Then, Lin Jing poured out the elixir medicine and observed it closely. The quality of this elixir was much better than those he had made.
Lin Jing had also produced a batch previously, which also contained four Supreme Rejuvenation Elixirs. Comparing them to these, even though they were both classified as Supreme Elixirs, Lin Jing could feel the gap between them.
Indeed, the person who was about to be promoted to a third-grade alchemist was truly formidable. Even with the system’s enhancement, Lin Jing was not as skilled.
However…
Even such a formidable person still had not managed to create a Pure Body Restoration Pill.
“I wonder if friend…
Li Tangyu looked at Lin Jing, his eyes full of anticipation.
Lin Jing nodded.
“I was fortunate enough to have concocted a Pure Body Restoration Pill not long ago.”
Upon hearing Lin Jing say so, the man in black who was sitting there abruptly stood up.
“Fellow Daoist…”
“Please bring it out for us to have a look…”
“Fellow Daoist, there is no need to rush; this is exactly what I intended to trade with you. Please wait a moment…”
Following that, Lin Jing took out a Pure Jade Box from his Storage Bag and placed it on the table.
Inside the Pure Jade Box, there rested the pure and flawless Pure Body Restoration Pill.
The gazes of both men were instantly drawn to the Pure Body Restoration Pill.
Lin Jing packed Li Tangyu’s concocted elixir away, capped the bottle, and pushed it to the center of the table along with the Pure Jade Box.
Their gaze followed the movement of the Pure Jade Box and settled there.
“Li Daoist Friend, the elixir you concocted is indeed commendable, though it was just a tad short of luck.”
“Mhm.”
At that moment, Li Tangyu’s attention was entirely fixated on the Pure Jade Box; he had not noticed what Lin Jing had said.
Lin Jing looked up and saw the two of them staring blankly. He even heard a “gulp,” the sound of someone swallowing saliva.
“Li Daoist Friend,” Lin Jing called out.
Both men then snapped back to reality, and Li Tangyu repeatedly apologized. “Fellow Daoist, I apologize for being so engrossed.”
“May I ask, fellow Daoist, may I open it? Just for a moment, it won’t be too long. ”
Li Tangyu’s eyes were full of hope as he looked towards Lin Jing.
Lin Jing spoke,
“Li Daoist Friend, you shouldn’t be asking me. I brought this pill out to trade with the fellow in black.”
“As long as the fellow in black agrees, I naturally have no objection.”
Li Tangyu then turned to look at the man in black.
The man in black hurriedly said,
“I have no objections either; I too wish to take a closer look at this Pure Elixir.”
After saying this, the two of them brought the Pure Elixir in front of them, and the bottle of Supreme Elixir that came with it was completely disregarded by Li
Tangyu.
“Li Daoist Friend, your elixir…” Lin Jing reminded.
Without looking up, Li Tangyu said,
“No rush, just leave it there for now.”
Both individuals were exceptionally tense; Li Tangyu, in particular, took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled, trying to calm his nerves.
“Fellow in black, I’m opening it.”
The man in black nodded, “Mhm.”
Next, Li Tangyu reached out his hand, placed it on the Pure Jade Box, paused for a moment, then gently exerted force, and the Pure Jade Box was slowly opened.
In an instant…
The aroma of the elixir drifted out, and even Lin Jing, who was a table away, could clearly smell it.
As for the other two, they were already entranced..
