Chapter 239: Obtaining A Huge Amount of Materials and Opening A Shop
Before they took action, Ling Yi and the others still had to hide.
This time, he did not activate [Faceless Mask] but casually put on a tiger mask.
Many people sold masks in the Nightless City.
When they moved towards Li Ao, the latter noticed them and shouted, “Stop! Who are you, people?”
Li Ao’s expression was solemn.
Ling Yi looked around and saw no one. The face under the mask couldn’t help but smile. He didn’t answer but picked up the Bell of Truth and shook it.
Ding ling ling ~
Hearing this crisp bell, Li Ao only felt that he was in a trance for a moment.
After shaking his head out of the trance, he found that nothing had changed for him. He couldn’t help but take out his weapon and get into a fighting posture. He shouted again, “Who are you?”
Li Ao knew very well that if he went back now, he would be immediately caught by the officers. For the time being, it was only safe to stay in the Nightless City.
But even so, he didn’t want to attract too much attention.
“Where do you hide Jade Pearl’s materials?” The man with the Tiger Mask said.
Hearing this, Li Ao subconsciously froze for a moment, then immediately laughed, “Hahaha!”
“Do you think I’ll tell you?… The materials of the Jade Pearl Guild are all hidden at the bottom of the Jade Pool in Wensong City. We have set up an absolutely safe alternate dimension there.”
Li Ao’s expression froze.
‘Did he just… Why did I spill this secret so casually?’
“Then How do I enter this alternate dimension?” The masked man asked again.
“Y-y-you… the alternate dimension needed… oh…”
Seeing Li Ao covering his mouth with his hands as he retreated, Ling Yi stepped on the tip of his foot and flashed in front of Li Ao like lightning. He gave Li Ao a “Hurricane Palm” to his face.
Pa!
Li Ao’s body was like a spinning top. He was slapped by this palm and spun hundreds of times in the air before landing ten thousand meters away.
In a normal battle, strength and energy would be nullified by both sides, and the remaining energy that wasn’t nullified could easily destroy an area within a hundred or a thousand meters.
This palm strike was Ling Yi’s true display of his 100,000 combat power!
He raised his foot and landed on the ground. His figure directly teleported from his original spot to Li Ao’s side and stepped on the man, who was still spinning.
“How do I enter the alternate dimension?” He asked again.
Just now, he had used one of the Bell of Truth’s effects on Li Ao, which forced the other party to tell the truth.
Li Ao, whose brain was still in a daze, had yet to react when his mouth moved first, “Using the key… Take out the key and say the secret phrase ‘precious Jade from heaven’, and the other space will appear and open. For you”
“Is the key in your backpack?”
“… That’s right,”
Ling Yi had made all the necessary preparations before he came over.
He took out the [Strong Hunting Gloves] item from his backpack, put it on his hand, and immediately bent over to press on Li Ao’s chest.
[Strong Hunting Gloves (B)]: After touching the target, the target’s backpack can be opened and one of the items can be placed in the user’s own backpack.
Such a powerful effect was normal after the mutation.
Before the mutation, there was only a small chance of stealing random items from the other party when he touched them.
Soon, he found the key to the alternate dimension and put it in his backpack. After that, he heaved a sigh of relief.
‘Phew. The next step is to knock this guy out.’
Ling Yi raised his eyes and scanned his surroundings. He was about 10,000 meters away from the Nightless City. It was a piece of land with scattered trees.
Apart from Yunji and the others, there was no one else around.
“Then, please have a good rest.”
Ling Yi smiled and applied 30x pain on the other party’s head. He conjured a ball of wind and followed up.
Li Ao’s face twisted in an instant, and he fainted from the pain without making a sound.
“Hehehe~”
Ling Yi grinned and used the [Strong Hunting Gloves] to sweep away all the useful things in Li Ao’s backpack. He then threw Li Ao under a tree and left with the girls.
…
The moment he returned, Ling Yi used the [Global Teleporter] to teleport to Wensong City in Shenxia. He successfully found the materials the Jade Pearl had gathered at the bottom of the jade pool and took them all away.
When he returned home again, he informed the Phoenix Sword Saint and ordered her to go to the designated location in Nightless City to catch the man.
The other party replied very quickly.
[Vermilion Bird: Haha, we’ve successfully caught him. It’s a big fish!]
[Vermillion Bird: If you didn’t expose him, we wouldn’t have known that the Jade Pearl was still secretly providing materials to foreign forces.]
[01: Are they trading through the forum?]
[Vermillion Bird: This kind of transaction was the most covert, and both parties could complete it in their own homes. At present, there was no way to establish such a trading method in the world.]
[Vermillion Bird: By the way, the man with the tiger mask that this guy was talking about…]
[01: It’s me. I also took those materials.]
[Vermilion Bird: Oh, that’s fine then.]
[Vermillion Bird: If you need any materials, I’ll send them to you after we’re done with our search.]
[01: Ok]
After the conversation ended, Ling Yi lay on the sofa and let out a long sigh of relief.
He looked up and saw that it was 22:17.
Outside the window, the night sky was filled with stars, and the evening wind was blowing gently.
Ling Yi called them over and told them about his idea of opening a shop.
“Why should I?” Lin Shurou asked curiously.
“In order to earn money and attribute points, eating so many precious medicines, the attribute accumulated is very considerable.” Ling Yi replied.
Seeing that they thought he was just doing it on a whim, he explained it to them.
“I have a high success rate in making medicine, and I have the fusion formula to make high-grade precious medicine.”
As soon as these words came out, they suddenly had no more worries.
Very quickly, Ling Yi had created a shop called “The Number One Pharmacy in The World” in the trading market.
Lin Shurou and the other two could feel Ling Yi’s confidence just from the name of the shop.
[Prompt: You have successfully created the ‘Number One Pharmacy in The World’. (Medicine Shop)]
[Prompt: 1,000 gold coins are required to maintain the store’s operation every month.]
1,000 gold coins per month were neither too much nor too little. This rule was mainly to prevent other players from opening shops recklessly and affecting the living environment of other normal shop owners.
At this moment, if other players clicked into the ‘Medicine Shop’ column on the exchange and swiped to the bottom, they would find that there was an additional ‘Number One Potion Shop in The World’ at the end.
[The Number One Medicinal Store in The World]
[Shop Owner: 01]
[Shop Description: We are committed to becoming the world’s number-one pharmacy!]
[Product: Currently Unavailable]
[Status: Closed]
“Alright, since we have created the shop, the next step is to manufacture precious medicine!”
Ling Yi opened his backpack and looked at the dazzling array of materials. After some thought, he decided to start with low-level treasured medicine.
Among the treasured medicines, there was one that could permanently increase attributes — this generally only worked once for each player.
There were also some that had special effects.
For example, the most common Physical Strength Pill, Life pill, Poison, Ripening Pill, medicine that could make one bigger or smaller… There was almost no limit to the number of times this effect could be used.
Ling Yi didn’t want to get his hands on effect-type medicine for the time being. He planned to start with treasured medicine that could permanently increase attributes.
This was because this was the fastest way to earn a large amount of gold coins and increase the shop’s reputation!
“Since other shops only sell D-grade attribute pills at the highest, I’ll start with C-grade attribute pills.”
After making his decision, Ling Yi started to make the medicine.
(D-grade Strength Pill + Rock Fragment x18 + Fire Soul Essence x6 → C-grade Strength Pill)
According to this fusion formula, Ling Yi sorted out the materials and stacked them on the table.
He immediately activated [Alchemy].
