Chapter 337: Chapter 39 Bihai City Fang Market
After listening, Lu Youjiu pondered for a moment, and then he spoke:
“Demon Cultivator Dai Mao has always been extremely cautious, and the island where his den is located is protected by a Fifth-Rank Formation. Didn’t you say that even you can’t break through it?”
Holaw Three Rivers then spoke:
“Indeed, Dai Mao’s den is difficult to assault. However, I’ve thought of an idea. If we can’t breach it from the outside, why don’t we break through from the inside?”
“Break through from the inside?” Lu Youjiu looked puzzled and turned his gaze towards Holaw Three Rivers.
“How do we break through from the inside, San He? Go on…” urged Yan Wanfei.
Meanwhile, Lin Jing couldn’t get a word in and could only listen to the conversation between the three of them.
Clearly, this was the mission they had received from the Seven Seas Hall.
The Seven Seas Hall really had all kinds of missions, even ones that involved killing could be accepted.
At this time, Holaw Three Rivers paused and turned to look at Lin Jing.
Seeing this, Lin Jing understood their concern and quickly said:
“Since you have important secrets to discuss, I’ll take my leave for a while and wander around Bihai City.”
Having said that, Lin Jing was about to stand up.
At this moment…
Lu Youjiu pressed down on Lin Jing, who was preparing to stand up, and said to Holaw Three Rivers:
“San He, it’s okay. Go ahead and speak.”
Even Yan Wanfei by the side was no longer willing to remain silent and quickly spoke up:
“What are you doing, San He? Brother Lin has saved my life. If it weren’t for Brother Lin, I might have long been killed…”
After hearing this, Holaw Three Rivers said to Lin Jing:
“Lin Daoyou, please don’t take offense. I am always like this. Because the matter we are about to discuss is sensitive, I had to make sure.”
Lin Jing nodded and said:
“I fully understand your concerns, Holaw Daoyou.”
“After all, since it is a secret matter, it truly isn’t appropriate for me to eavesdrop here.”
After finishing, Lin Jing smiled at the three people and said:
“Lu Daoyou, Yan Daoyou, and Holaw Daoyou, please proceed with your discussion.”
“I will take a look around Bihai City and witness its prosperity for myself.”
Afterwards.
Lin Jing stood up, declined their invitations to stay, and then inquired about the location of the Fang Market before leaving the small courtyard.
After leaving the courtyard, Lin Jing headed straight towards the Fang Market as they had described.
After all, it was his first time in the Demonic Monster Sea, which was different from the Nanming Domain, and he was certain there would be many things he had never seen before. Lin Jing was very curious.
The Fang Market in Bihai City was quite remote, located in the southernmost corner of the city.
Despite its remoteness, it was rather well-known throughout the entire southern outer sea.
Cultivators from various islands, as well as Loose Cultivators, often went to the market to sell all kinds of rare and exotic treasures.
It took Lin Jing nearly half an hour just to travel from the courtyard to the Fang Market.
And that was with him quickening his pace; one could imagine how vast Bihai City was.
Upon arriving at the Fang Market, Lin Jing was immediately captivated by its bustling scene.
This market was much larger than the one in Nanshan Immortal City.
Not to mention anything else, the spacious streets alone were comparable to three streets in Nanshan Immortal City.
On both sides of the street, rows of stalls were lined up neatly; and behind these stalls lay two rows of shops that looked quite upscale.
The market was crowded, and the streets were filled with bustling Cultivators rubbing shoulders with one another.
Most of these Cultivators were in the Qi Refinement Realm and Foundation Establishment Stage, and there were not many Golden Core Cultivators.
Because.
In this market, it was rare for items that Golden Core Cultivators needed to appear, and even if Golden Core Cultivators came to this market, they would visit those upscale looking shops.
As Lin Jing walked through the market, with his Golden Core Stage cultivation, fellow Cultivators would intentionally step aside to avoid provoking him.
Even though the rules in Bihai City were strict, it would be somewhat unreasonable to provoke a Golden Core Cultivator without cause.
Furthermore, Lin Jing cut an imposing figure with a broad back and a strong build, and with his cultivation of the Overlord Divine Physique, his aura naturally carried an air of dominance that made him quite unapproachable.
At that moment.
Lin Jing walked in the market, surrounded by the endless cries of vendors…
“Red jade coral, only five hundred Medium Grade Spirit Stones, come take a look!”
…
“If anyone needs them, come check out the Demonic Beast inner cores, we have Third, Fourth, and Fifth-Rank Demonic Beast inner cores here.”
…
“Selling Elixir Medicine, Third-Rank Yellow Dragon Elixir, name your price if you’re interested.”
……
“Third-Rank Yellow Dragon Elixir?”
Hearing this shout, Lin Jing’s curiosity was piqued, and he directly looked towards the stall.
He saw a dark-skinned middle-aged man behind the stall.
And on his stall were many little porcelain bottles, with several Cultivators crowded in front of it.
Then, Lin Jing proceeded directly to the stall.
Upon arriving, the previously crowded people promptly dispersed, leaving a large space open for Lin Jing.
Seeing Lin Jing, the stall owner immediately put on a smile and greeted him with clasped hands:
“Senior, may I know what kind of Elixir Medicine you need?”
Lin Jing lowered his head to inspect the stall but did not find the Yellow Dragon Elixir that the man mentioned.
Then, Lin Jing looked up and directly asked, “Do you have Yellow Dragon Elixir here?”
The stall owner nodded: “Yes, Senior.”
Upon receiving a positive response, Lin Jing then said:
“May I take a look at it?”
The stall owner looked at Lin Jing, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded, saying:
“Since the Senior wishes to see it, naturally, it’s no problem.”
Having said that, he directly took out a Pure Jade Box from the Storage Bag on his body.
Then, he carefully handed the Pure Jade Box to Lin Jing.
Lin Jing took the Pure Jade Box without opening it, instead, he scrutinized it closely.
Even the people around them who were preparing to buy Elixir Medicine were staring at the Pure Jade Box in Lin Jing’s hands.
“It really is the Yellow Dragon Elixir…” one of them said, looking at the Elixir Medicine inside the Pure Jade Box.
“Indeed, and it’s a Superior-grade Elixir Medicine,” another person nodded repeatedly.
Although Lin Jing had not opened the Pure Jade Box and could not smell the fragrance, he could still confirm that it was indeed a Superior Yellow Dragon Elixir based on the elixir’s appearance and quality.
And Lin Jing was, of course, very clear about this.
After observing the Elixir Medicine, Lin Jing raised his head and asked the vendor,
“Did you refine this Yellow Dragon Elixir yourself?”
The vendor shook his head:
“Senior jests, I am but a Second-Grade Alchemist, I do not possess the ability to refine the Yellow Dragon Elixir.”
“I obtained this Yellow Dragon Elixir from someone else.”
“Obtained from someone else…”
Lin Jing slightly frowned, immediately losing interest in the Yellow Dragon Elixir.
Following that.
Lin Jing returned the Pure Jade Box to the vendor and then prepared to leave.
However, before Lin Jing could take two steps, the vendor called out from behind,
“Senior, do you wish to find the person who sold me the Yellow Dragon Elixir?”
“If that’s the case, I could offer this small favor to senior.”
Lin Jing stopped in his tracks, turned around, and said to the vendor,
“What I’m looking for is Yellow Dragon Spirit Grass, do you also have news about that?”
As Lin Jing’s words fell, the vendor quickly spoke up:
“Have… have… I indeed know someone who possesses the Yellow Dragon Spirit Grass, and this person is the very one who sold me the Yellow Dragon Elixir.”
“If senior wishes to find him, I can certainly help senior with that.”
“Only, senior…” The vendor rubbed his hands together, his meaning couldn’t be more obvious.
To this, Lin Jing was not surprised; since the person had offered help, he clearly expected a reward.
“What do you want?”
“Actually, not much, just a Midium Grade Spirit Stone will suffice,” the vendor replied with a smile.
A Midium Grade Spirit Stone was indeed not much for Lin Jing at the moment, especially given that, as a Golden Core Cultivator, no matter how few Spirit Stones he had, he wouldn’t be running low.
The vendor had surely noticed this as well.
Without further words, Lin Jing directly took out a Midium Grade Spirit Stone from the Storage Bag and tossed it to the vendor.
The vendor happily accepted it and then told Lin Jing,
“Senior, please wait a moment…”
After speaking, he left the stall, jogged a couple of steps to a narrow alley beside the shop in the back, and shouted inside,
“You little runt, come out quick, I’ve got a job for you.”
After shouting, the vendor hurried back.
“Senior, please wait, he will be here shortly…”
The vendor accompanied his words with a smile to Lin Jing…
No sooner had he finished speaking than a skinny and swarthy young boy around fifteen or sixteen years of age walked out from the alley.
“What’s it?” The swarthy boy, rubbing his sleepy eyes, asked the vendor.
“You take this senior here to find Lin Jue,” the vendor commanded directly.
“Ah~”
“What for?”
The boy clearly showed reluctance.
At that moment, the vendor leaned in and whispered something in the boy’s ear.
After hearing this, the boy’s attitude made an immediate one-hundred-and-eighty-degree turn, and he quickly came to Lin Jing’s side, saying,
“Senior, come…”
“Let me show you the way.”
Saying so, he headed into the Fang Market.
Lin Jing then followed the boy into the market.
Although they had whispered, with Lin Jing’s cultivation, he had heard every word clearly.
The vendor’s implication was straightforward: there’s a share for him since money was given…
Therefore, the boy became so proactive.
Presumably, the relationship between this boy and the vendor was not ordinary, if not father and son, then certainly something special.
After all, both were so fond of money…
……
In this way, the boy led Lin Jing, following the market streets all the way inside.
From the bustling crowd at the beginning, they walked until the very end, where there were only a few people on the street.
Not only did the street narrow quite a bit over here, but also there were very few Cultivators setting up stalls.
At that moment, an argument could be heard up ahead.
Lin Jing followed the sounds and looked forward.
He saw a slightly built, fair-skinned boy confronting two middle-aged Cultivators in front of him.
“The Lin Family was thoroughly eradicated a thousand years ago, yet here you are still using the Lin Family’s name to cheat and deceive everywhere, aren’t you ashamed?”
“You’re talking nonsense, I haven’t cheated or duped anyone, the Lin Family is not extinct, I am a member of the Lin Family.”
It was only then that Lin Jing noticed a small sign standing in front of the stall.
On it, written in somewhat sloppy handwriting, were the words ‘Lin’s Elixir Pavilion’…
