Chapter 394: Chapter 94 Selling Pills

After making all the necessary arrangements, Lin Jing mounted his sword and took off, leaving Li Yan Island directly.

The distance between Li Yan Island and Bihai City was not very far, to begin with.

However, without a Flying Boat, Lin Jing could only rely on sword flight, crossing the vast sea. To fly to Bihai City in this manner would still take several days.

On the other hand, traveling by Flying Boat would take at most a day or two to reach Bihai City.

If possible, Lin Jing would have liked to purchase a Flying Boat for himself.

But, the price of a Flying Boat was not cheap, costing at least a million Medium Grade Spirit Stones.

It was something he could not afford at the moment.

For now, Lin Jing could only dream about it…

……

After flying continuously for several days, Lin Jing finally arrived once again in Bihai City.

This time, since he planned to sell Elixir Medicine at the Seven Seas Hall, Lin Jing made thorough preparations.

On his way there, Lin Jing had already activated the Changyun Hidden Technique, altering his physique, appearance, and aura.

By the time he arrived in Bihai City, Lin Jing had already transformed into a slender middle-aged man.

Upon reaching Bihai City, Lin Jing looked at the grand buildings lining both sides of the main street.

He couldn’t help but feel emotional.

It was said that the City Lord of Bihai City possessed cultivation exceeding that of the Divinity Transformation.

Perhaps it was precisely because of his extraordinary strength that no one dared to provoke him lightly, which in turn had led to the prosperity of Bihai City at present.

Lin Jing wondered when he himself would reach such a level.

After his moment of contemplation,

Lin Jing crossed the street and headed straight for the Seven Seas Hall.

Previously,

Lu Youjiu had briefly introduced the process of selling Elixir Medicine to Lin Jing.

So although Lin Jing had never sold Elixir Medicine before, he was not unfamiliar with the process.

And so, Lin Jing went straight to the third floor of the Seven Seas Hall.

After reaching the third floor, Lin Jing declined the offer for guidance from the Attendant and walked through the hall to its furthest end.

At the very back, there was another room – where Lin Jing’s destination lied.

Upon entering the room, Lin Jing scanned the area.

Apart from a middle-aged steward behind the counter and two maidservants standing by the door, the room was empty.

The middle-aged steward had not concealed his cultivation – he was also a Golden Core Stage expert.

Moreover, his cultivation was slightly higher than Lin Jing’s, being at the mid-stage of the Golden Core Stage.

Upon Lin Jing’s arrival, the middle-aged steward directly addressed him:

“Fellow Daoist, I wonder if you wish to sell ‘overt goods’ or ‘covert goods’?”

Overt goods.

These were easy to understand. They referred to items that could be exposed, traded normally, and would not attract trouble.

Covert goods,

on the other hand, were exceptionally secretive items that needed to be kept hidden from the public eye.

For example, some of the Magical Treasures obtained by Bandit Cultivators. These treasures could be quite famous and not suitable for open use.

Or some rare Elixir Medicine and materials.

These might have been unexpected windfalls or acquired by some improper means, or perhaps, for some reasons, one simply did not want to reveal their identity.

However,

although the transaction of covert goods was secretive, and the Seven Seas Hall would not inquire further, it would require an additional fee of 10% compared to overt goods.

Moreover, the Seven Seas Hall could guarantee that anyone who sold covert goods through them would never be traced back to by the buyer.

Although boasting might be present in their claim, over the years, the Seven Seas Hall had indeed lived up to their promise.

Covert goods sold through the Seven Seas Hall had never had their sellers traced.

So, gradually…

More and more people began to sell their unseen Magical Treasures, Cultivation Techniques, or rare materials through the Seven Seas Hall.

Over time, the trade of covert goods became another major business of the Seven Seas Hall.

This time, Lin Jing naturally intended to sell his goods as covert goods.

Even though it would incur an additional 10% fee, the reduction in trouble made it worthwhile.

Lin Jing then spoke directly,

“Covert goods…”

The middle-aged steward nodded, then stepped out from behind the counter and said to Lin Jing:

“The sale of covert goods is not conducted here, fellow Daoist. Please follow me.”

With that, the middle-aged steward left the counter and directed Lin Jing towards a back room.

Lin Jing nodded and followed him.

Soon, the two arrived at the back room.

Inside the room, apart from an old man with white hair, there was no one else.

At that moment, the white-haired elder was leaning back in his chair, closely examining a Jade Pendant in his hand.

The middle-aged steward stepped forward and addressed the white-haired old man:

“Elder Ye…”

“This fellow Daoist has come to sell covert goods. Would you please take a look at them for us?”

The one referred to as Elder Ye, the white-haired old man, looked up at Lin Jing and then said to the middle-aged steward:

“All right, I’ve got it. You can go now.”

The middle-aged steward bowed to Elder Ye and said:

“Yes, thank you for your trouble, Elder Ye…”

After he finished speaking, the middle-aged steward left the room.

Then, Elder Ye sat up straight, put away the Jade Pendant, and said to Lin Jing:

“Please, take a seat…”

Lin Jing nodded and sat down opposite the white-haired elder.

Elder Ye continued,

“Take out all the covert goods you wish to sell, and I will help you evaluate the price.”

“If you find the price reasonable, we can complete the transaction; if you find it unreasonable, or have any questions, you are free to leave at any time.”

Indeed.

Upon learning of Lin Jing’s intentions, this elder from the Seven Seas Hall had asked nothing.

This was just as Lu Youjiu had told him beforehand.

Without hesitation, Lin Jing took out dozens of jade bottles from his Storage Bag.

After taking those out, Lin Jing then took out over a dozen Pure Jade Boxes from the Storage Bag as well.

The Elixir Medicines inside these Pure Jade Boxes were no ordinary matter.

These were all Third Rank Elixirs.

Lin Jing didn’t even bother taking out any Second Rank Pure Elixirs; all he took out were Third Rank Pure Elixir Medicines.

Because even though Second Rank Elixir Medicines, even Pure Elixirs, wouldn’t attract attention and didn’t need to be sold under the table.

Only these Third Rank Pure Elixirs might draw the attention of certain people if they were to be sold on a large scale.

Seeing Lin Jing take out these Elixir Medicines, the white-haired elder went from indifference to slight surprise in the end.

“Oh?”

“The Elixir Medicines you have on hand seem rather plentiful.”

Though surprised, Elder Ye was not astonished.

Having dealt with under-the-counter goods here for so long, he had seen this kind of situation countless times before.

He had even seen quantities greater than what Lin Jing had brought out.

In no time at all, Lin Jing took out all the Elixir Medicines he planned to sell.

“That’s all of them; please take a look…”

In fact, these were not all the Elixir Medicines Lin Jing possessed.

Because he didn’t plan to sell all of his Elixir Medicines just yet; he intended to sell only this amount for the time being.

As for the rest, aside from those he needed for his own use, Lin Jing also kept some as a precaution in case of emergency.

With Lin Jing’s words, Elder Ye then began to pick up the Elixir Medicines on the table and inspect them.

He opened the stoppers of the jade bottles one by one, poured them out to examine closely, and was very meticulous in his inspection.

It didn’t take long for him to finish inspecting all of the Elixir Medicines in the dozens of jade bottles.

Next, it was time to inspect those dozen or so Pure Elixirs.

At this moment, Elder Ye spoke to Lin Jing:

“Before inspecting the Pure Elixirs, I need to inform you that we will need to open the Pure Jade Boxes to inspect them.”

Lin Jing nodded and said, “Of course, feel free to begin the inspection.”

With Lin Jing’s permission, Elder Ye nodded and then opened one of the Pure Jade Boxes to begin his inspection.

The moment the Pure Jade Box was opened, the fragrance of the Elixir instantly filled the air.

Yet, Elder Ye did not get distracted but continued his careful inspection…

After about half an hour, Elder Ye had finished inspecting all the Pure Elixirs Lin Jing had brought out.

After the inspection, Elder Ye first asked Lin Jing:

“Have you looked into the price of these Elixir Medicines before?”

Lin Jing nodded and said:

“I have indeed done some research.”

Lin Jing wasn’t lying; he had already inquired about the prices of these Elixir Medicines before he planned to start selling them.

Elder Ye nodded and said:

“That’s good…”

“Since you also know the approximate prices of these Elixir Medicines, then I’ll just tell you directly.”

“The initial valuation I’ve assessed for these Elixir Medicines you’ve brought is 1.8 million Midium Grade Spirit Stones; if we deduct a 10% service fee, you should get about 1.62 million Midium Grade Spirit Stones.”

“If you think the price is right, we can make the trade now.”

“If you have any objections to this price, you can also take your Elixir Medicines and leave at any time.”

1.62 million Spirit Stones was actually not a small amount.

Keep in mind that back in the Nanming Domain, the Zhang Family Patriarch had nearly exhausted the family’s resources to gather 200,000 Spirit Stones to purchase a single Medium Grade Lifespan Extension Pill.

And now, Lin Jing would obtain 1.62 million Midium Grade Spirit Stones from selling his Elixir Medicines.

That was eight times what the Zhang Family had saved up before.

Of course.

These were Third Rank Pure Elixirs; it was quite normal to be able to sell them for such a price.

These Elixir Medicines.

If sold elsewhere, they would probably fetch around 1.8 million Midium Grade Spirit Stones, at most not more than 2 million Midium Grade Spirit Stones.

And that would also come with the risk of exposure and wasn’t very safe.

After pondering for a while, Lin Jing nodded and said:

“I have no objections to this price.”

Elder Ye nodded and then asked Lin Jing, “Would you like Superior Grade Spirit Stones, or Midium Grade Spirit Stones?”

“We can make the trade with whichever type of Spirit Stones you desire.”

After listening, Lin Jing thought for a moment and then said:

“I’ll take Midium Grade Spirit Stones.”

Lin Jing still had some Superior Grade Spirit Stones on him and was not in great need of them.

Elder Ye nodded and then directly summoned a female attendant to come in.

After the attendant walked in, Elder Ye said:

“Fetch 1.62 million Midium Grade Spirit Stones for this friend.”

“Yes, Elder Ye.”

The attendant bowed and then withdrew.

…

…

Less than a quarter of an hour later, the attendant returned.

In her hands, she was holding a Storage Bag.

After entering, the attendant went straight to Lin Jing and handed over the Storage Bag, then said:

“Senior, please have a look…”
