This could also be considered a small anti-counterfeiting feature Lin Jing had implemented, although it might not be very useful.
Seeing this Pure Jade Box in an instant, Lin Jing’s mouth twitched. “Buying one’s own elixir to give to oneself.”
“This Huang Qingling…” Lin Jing was left speechless for a moment.
“However, he doesn’t know the Elixir Valley Heir is himself.” Thinking of this,
Lin Jing also let it go.
“Right. ”
“Fellow Daoist Qing Ling, where did you buy this elixir? How many Spirit Stones did it cost?”
Lin Jing remembered clearly that Huang Qingling had never been to the black market, and he had also never sold any elixir medicines to her.
Huang Qingling said while touching the Pure Jade Box in her hand:
“You don’t know, the elixirs sold by the Elixir Valley Heir are now expensive.
This was obtained by Old Man Bai from someone else.”
“Just for this one elixir, it cost 800 Lower Grade Spirit Stones.”
“800 Lower Grade Spirit Stones? I’ve heard other people say that it doesn’t seem to be that expensive,” Lin Jing looked at Huang Qingling, asking with doubt.
The elixir in Huang Qingling’s hand was a Pure Energy Gathering Pill.
Because the beast tide no longer affected it, the prices in the Fang Market had returned to normal levels, and the black market price Lin Jing had set for this elixir was 600 Lower Grade Spirit Stones each.
It was just slightly more expensive than in the outside Fang Market.
Yet the one in Huang Qingling’s hands had actually sold for as much as 800 Spirit Stones, which was unexpected to Lin Jing.
“That’s right, elixirs coming from the Elixir Valley Heir are definitely expensive, and some people even buy them specifically to collect,” Huang Qingling continued in a quieter voice.
“Even more, some people vigorously promote the effects of Supreme Elixirs and Superior Elixirs, continually raising the price.”
As Huang Qingling spoke, her voice trailed off softly, and she continued:
“And I’ve heard that some people are selling fake elixirs pretending they are from Elixir Valley.”
After hearing this, Lin Jing expressed his surprise: “Isn’t that deceiving people?”
Huang Qingling quickly explained:
“That’s from Elixir Valley itself, and now everyone believes that Elixir Valley’s elixirs are extraordinary. Even if it’s a lie, there are definitely people willing to pay for it.”
“So, it’s only natural for others to sell it at a higher price.”
After listening to Huang Qingling, Lin Jing’s brow slightly furrowed: “It seems that other elixirs really can’t continue to be sold.”
Just then, an arm as fair and beautiful as jade lotus root stretched over.
“Here, take it, it’s for you.”
As Huang Qingling spoke, she pushed the Pure Jade Box into Lin Jing’s hand.
“Fellow Daoist Qing Ling, this…” Lin Jing wanted to refuse but couldn’t find any excuse on the spot.
“Stop dithering, take the elixir, and hurry up and make something tasty for me,” Huang Qingling said decisively.
“Taking advantage of the fact that Little Sparrow isn’t around right now, I might as well take a break myself.”
“Today, I’ve nearly been annoyed to death by a troublesome guy who even said he would get an Elixir Valley elixir to give to me, as if I would care…”
“Is it Liu Yiyuan again?” Lin Jing looked at Huang Qingling and asked.
Ever since Liu Yiyuan had recovered from his injuries, he had constantly been harassing Huang Qingling, who was immensely annoyed by this.
“Who else but him?” Huang Qingling replied, huffily.
Lin Jing teased: “If he gives it to you, why not just accept it? After all, you suffer no loss, and besides, he wouldn’t dare do anything to you.”
Huang Qingling glared at Lin Jing with disdain:
“How could I possibly accept his stuff? You’re really underestimating me. I wouldn’t care for it even if it were something extremely precious.”
Lin Jing continued:
“Oh, then don’t accept it. Just say that what he gave doesn’t suit your taste, the heart’s not sincere, and tell him not to bother you again.”
After hearing this, Huang Qingling’s eyes lit up, and then she smiled:
“That’s a good idea.”
“By the way, where’s Little Sparrow?” Lin Jing put away the Pure Energy Gathering Pill he had received and, not wanting to dwell on this topic, quickly changed the subject.
“Elder Bai kept her behind, saying he got something that could enhance Little Sparrow’s strength. I guess he wants Little Sparrow to improve her skills there.”
“Alright then…”
“Qing Ling, what would you like to eat today…”
After listening, Huang Qingling tilted her head and thought for a while:
“I want to eat that thing you made for me last time…”
“Okay.”
Having said that, Lin Jing headed towards the kitchen.
After the meal, Huang Qingling left.
Once he had tidied up, Lin Jing also returned to the room.
“Enter the System Space.”
Lin Ting thought to himself then his vision shifted as he entered the Sygtem
Space.
Inside the System Space, Lin Jing glanced over and smiled contentedly at the Spirit Fields before him.
Two months had gone by, and the Spirit Plants in these fields had all matured.
It was time for the harvest.
“System, harvest the mature Spirit Plants,” Lin Jing called out to the system.
Soon, the system’s voice came through: “Harvesting mature Spirit Plants will deduct 1 Harvest Point. Would the host like to proceed with the harvest?” “Harvest,” Lin Jing replied.
Following that, the mature Spirit Plants in the fields automatically detached from the ground, flew up all at once, and then neatly settled down at the edge of the fields, piling up like a small hill.
The Spirit Plants from these 20 acres of Spirit Fields were harvested in an instant. If Lin Jing had to do it himself, he probably would have been worn to death by the effort.
This function of harvesting Spirit Plants was something he had just discovered not long ago.
And today’s trial proved it to be quite handy.
He had to say, that one Harvest Point was well spent.
Then, the system’s voice continued.
“System notification: Host has used the harvest function of the Spirit Fields, deducting 1 Harvest Point. Current Harvest Points remaining: 326.”
“System notification: Congratulations to the host for harvesting 20 acres of
Spirit Plants, earning a reward of 120 Harvest Points.”
“Current 1–larvest Points remaining: 446 Harvest Points.”
Over this period, Lin Jing had refined another batch of Pure Elixirs, which also increased his Harvest Points by a considerable amount.
He had just spent his points on upgrading the space, and now he was closing in on 500 again. To upgrade the System Space once more, he only needed 2000 Harvest Points.
At this rate, it won’t be long before the System Space could be upgraded again.
At this moment, looking ahead at the Spirit Fields, they were bare, with only a solitary seedling left standing in Spirit Field number one.
That seedling was the Stay Youthful Fruit tree.
Lin Jing looked at the seedling of the Stay Youthful Fruit tree and then spoke: “System, alter the environment of the Spirit Fields.”
Now that the other Spirit Plants had been harvested, Lin Jing certainly did not forget about altering the environment of the Spirit Fields.
“Please select the Spirit Field whose environment the host wishes to alter,” the system voice rang out.
Appearing along with the system’s voice was a display panel, the same one used for selecting Spirit Fields before.
Lin Jing extended his hand and touched the number one Spirit Field that was flashing red.
Then, the system voice sounded again: “Please select the environment that the host wants to change.”
“Uninhabited Mountains,” Lin Jing said.
No sooner had Lin Jing’s words fallen than the environment of Spirit Field number one began to change. The land within the field started to transform; its color gradually turned from yellow to dark gray, and the soil began to compact. Even the air within the Spirit Field seemed to become different..
