BXBX NOVEL Chapter 205: Selling Pills on the Black Market
The Nanshan Fang Market had been expanded into the Nanshan Immortal City, and the former Teleportation Arrays leading to the black market had all been abandoned, with new locations already replaced.
Lin Jing, of course, knew these new locations very well.
Leaving the courtyard, Lin Jing walked on the streets…
Even though he resided in the outer city, the present Nanshan Immortal City was not the same as the old Nanshan Fang Market.
The outer city was very safe as well.
Lin Jing continued on until he reached the end of the street where there was a small alley; he arrived at the entrance of the alley and turned directly into it.
In the middle of this alley, there was an inconspicuous little courtyard.
The door of this small courtyard was left ajar.
Lin Jing pushed the door open and walked in.
Inside the courtyard was actually a Teleportation Array to the black market.
After entering the courtyard, Lin Jing went over to a well surrounded by overgrown weeds.
It looked utterly desolate, and even the houses within the courtyard seemed dilapidated.
A gust of wind blew by, causing the broken door to creak and sway…
The atmosphere could even be described as somewhat terrifying.
Then…
Lin Jing approached the well in the middle of the courtyard and found a groove next to the well’s edge.
He then took out a Black Market Token from his Storage Bag and placed it into the groove on the well’s edge.
As soon as the Black Market Token was placed there, a dismal green light flared up around it.
As the light grew more intense, the Token in the groove fell off automatically, and Lin Jing stretched out his hand to catch it as it flew back into his grasp.
However, what Lin Jing did next, if seen by some commoners who had never seen a cultivator, would likely scare them witless.
Because…
Lin Jing approached the well and jumped straight down.
It turned out that the entrance to this well was the Teleportation Array to the black market.
Who knows what kind of genius came up with this idea for constructing the Teleportation Array…
They even changed the originally pure white light of the Teleportation Array to a dismal green color just to suit the atmosphere.
This also demonstrated that the person’s mastery of formations was definitely not low.
As the dismal green light dissipated, Lin Jing disappeared from within the courtyard, which then returned to its previous quiet state…
When he reappeared, Lin Jing was already in the dense woods outside of the black market.
With the expansion of Nanshan Fang Market into Nanshan Immortal City and the dramatic increase in population, to avoid overcrowding…
…the black market had naturally also expanded to some extent.
It remained unknown just where exactly this valley that housed the black market was located, so mysterious that to this day no one knew its location.
Or perhaps, even if someone did know, they dared not reveal it.
After all…
The person in charge of the black market was that exceedingly terrifying Demon Lord.
After arriving via teleportation, Lin Jing took out a Black Gauze Bamboo Hat from his Storage Bag and put it on his head.
Then, he started making his way towards the black market.
It didn’t take long for Lin Jing to arrive at the entrance to the black market.
At the moment, there were several guards stationed at the entrance.
Among them was a dark-skinned elder.
This elder, whom Lin Jing had come to recognize from his frequent visits to the black market, was one of the market’s managers and possessed the cultivation of the Golden Core Stage.
Others who saw him would generally address him respectfully as “Black Elder.”
Black Elder usually didn’t venture out unless necessary.
It was unknown why today he had appeared at the entrance to the black market.
Lin Jing approached the entrance, handing over the Spirit Stones he had prepared in advance to the guard at the door.
Then, the guard gestured to the one behind him who, in turn, lowered his weapon and cleared the entrance.
After that, Lin Jing walked right in.
Black Elder merely glanced at Lin Jing before paying him no further attention.
Once inside the black market, Lin Jing walked on the bustling streets, surrounded by various pedestrians.
But most of the people here, like Lin Jing, wore black gauze bamboo hats.
Only a few dared to show their true faces.
Of course, that might not be real either.
After the expansion of the Black Market, the streets of the market were much more spacious than before, and although there were more people coming to the market now, it still didn’t feel crowded.
Lin Jing followed the street to the spot where he usually set up his stall, only to find that someone else had already taken it.
Previously, the Black Market authorities had approached him, wanting to lease that stall spot to Lin Jing long-term.
But he had declined.
Because Lin Jing often didn’t come for a long time, sometimes not visiting for several months at a stretch.
Keeping that stall was not very useful.
Besides, apart from Lin Jing…
There was no second Elixir Valley Heir in the Black Market to worry about being impersonated.
Because no one else could bring out so many Pure Elixirs…
Seeing the spot occupied, Lin Jing didn’t mind and continued to look for another unoccupied stall.
The increase in people at the Black Market also meant that stalls were in short supply.
It wasn’t until he had almost reached the end of the street that Lin Jing found an empty stall.
Then…
Lin Jing went to that stall and started to get busy.
On his way here, in addition to looking for an unoccupied stall, Lin Jing had also been on the lookout for Ning Yue’s figure.
However, along the way…
He had not seen Ning Yue.
As Lin Jing placed a Pure Jade Box on the stall and set up the signboard of the Elixir Valley Heir,
it immediately attracted the attention of many people.
“Elixir Valley Heir…”
A man, upon seeing the signboard displayed by Lin Jing, exclaimed in surprise and ran straight to the stall, gathering around it.
“Fellow Daoist, do you have Pure Healing Elixirs? I’ll take one.”
“Yes…”
“100 Midium Grade Spirit Stones…”
Lin Jing replied directly.
“Understood, understood…”
The man nodded eagerly.
With the large population in Nanshan Immortal City, what followed was a rise in prices.
So, Lin Jing raised the price of his Elixir Medicines.
Before, when prices were low, he had ripped off Liu Yiyuan, selling for 100 Midium Grade Spirit Stones.
But now, with the rise in prices,
Lin Jing directly sold at the price of 100 Midium Grade Spirit Stones.
At this price of 100 Midium Grade Spirit Stones, nobody objected; in fact, it was very much in demand.
Because most of the buyers of these Elixir Medicines were disciples from powerful families, and they certainly weren’t short of Spirit Stones.
Then, Lin Jing took a Pure Jade Box out of his Storage Bag and placed it on the stall.
Meanwhile, the man took out 100 Midium Grade Spirit Stones from his Storage Bag and handed them over to Lin Jing.
He then picked up the Pure Healing Elixir, glanced at it, and tucked it into his Storage Bag.
He didn’t even bother to check it.
“Fellow Daoist, won’t you check it?”
Lin Jing asked afterwards.
“I’ve bought your Elixir Medicines twice already, and I’m very familiar with them. I can tell at a glance…”
“Besides, these Pure Elixirs can’t be faked…”
Seeing the man say this, Lin Jing had nothing more to say.
“Uh…”
“Alright then…”
Following that, the transaction was completed, and the man bid farewell to Lin Jing and left.
