Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space
Chapter 102: Testing
"Pure Accumulation Pill?"
Lin Jing frowned and shook his head, saying:
"No."
Then, the red-robed youth continued to look at Lin Jing and said:
"I urgently need the Pure Accumulation Pill."
"May I ask, fellow Daoist, if your Elixir Valley were to refine it, could it be done in a short time?"
Looking at the red-robed youth in front of him, Lin Jing was reminded of an incident two months ago when he accidentally revealed something while dealing with a vendor selling the Hidden Dragon Pendant of the Azure Moon.
Back then, Liu Yiyuan had said that the Pure Accumulation Pill would be extremely hard to find, even more precious than the Foundation Building Elixir.
Lin Jing was puzzled at the time.
But it didn't take long for Liu Yiyuan's words to come true.
In the entire Fang Market, the Pure Accumulation Pill had been swept clean in a very short time.
Even the pills that others had saved were purchased at high prices.
Soon after…
The main ingredient for refining the Clear Accumulation Pill—the Dusty Herb—was also secretly bought up by someone.
Before long, there wasn't much left in the entire market.
Moreover, not only in Nanshan Fang Market, but several Immortal Cities close to the market experienced the same situation.
Even in Yuebaolou, there were less than a hundred Dusty Herbs left, reserved for emergencies.
However...
Fortunately, the Clear Accumulation Pill was rarely used by cultivators, so even without the Pure Accumulation Pill, it wouldn't affect much.
Thus, at first, not many people noticed.
It was not until the price of Dusty Herb repeatedly soared, increasing several times over, that people began to take notice.
However, by then, there was hardly any Dusty Herb left on the market, and even if one wanted to buy it, it was no longer available.
At this point, Lin Jing understood.
It was likely that in the future, both Liu Yiyuan and the family of this red-robed youth would make significant moves.
Now, as this red-robed youth had come to him specifically asking for the Pure Accumulation Pill, Lin Jing couldn't help but become vigilant.
"Could this be a test?"
Lin Jing looked at the red-robed youth in front of him, pondered for a moment, and then said:
"I'm very sorry, fellow Daoist, our Elixir Valley also does not have the Pure Accumulation Pill."
"Presumably, you are also aware of the current situation in the market."
"And it's not just the market, even the nearby Immortal Cities might not have the main ingredient required to refine the Clear Accumulation Pill—Dusty Herb."
"Although our Elixir Valley is secluded, many of the Spirit Plants we need are still purchased from several nearby Immortal Cities."
"The Pure Accumulation Pill that you need, fellow Daoist, is unfortunately beyond our capability to produce."
Lin Jing had already spoken thus, but the red-robed man still persisted, continuing to ask:
"Fellow Daoist."
"I really urgently need the Pure Accumulation Pill!"
"I want to ask you, if I could provide you with Dusty Herb, how long would it take your Elixir Valley to refine it?"
At this moment, the red-robed man seemed very sincere.
However, to Lin Jing, his words already had a very clear implication, and he even said he could provide the Dusty Herb.
This made Lin Jing more certain of his speculation; they were definitely involved in this matter.
"Rest assured, fellow Daoist, as long as your Elixir Valley can refine it, the reward I give will definitely be substantial."
After hearing this, Lin Jing thought disdainfully:
"Substantial reward…"
"If I really managed to refine it, their first action would probably be to find some way to locate me and then silence me."
Adhering to the principle of avoiding trouble, Lin Jing spoke outright:
"You jest, fellow Daoist."
"In our Elixir Valley, there are only a few Pill Masters researching Alchemy Dao. Although there are some methods to slightly increase the success rate of Flawless Elixir Medicine..."
"However, if a fellow Daoist specifically requires Flawless Elixir Medicine, and it's of the Second Rank, I'm afraid no one can guarantee it,"
"Otherwise, we from Elixir Valley would have already left the Nanming Domain to seek better development elsewhere."
"Is that so..."
After hearing what Lin Jing had said, the man in red seemed somewhat disappointed.
But to Lin Jing, it was all an act.
In fact...
Lin Jing did indeed have Cleansing Herb; the Spirit Plants in his Spirit Field had just been harvested, including quite a few Cleansing Herbs, enough to refine 100 batches of the Clear Dust Elixir.
However, Cleansing Herbs had not been on sale anywhere recently, and if he were to bring them out now, it could raise questions.
Just then, another person came over.
Lin Jing turned to look, and it was Liu Yiyuan approaching.
Liu Yiyuan arrived at the stall and first greeted the man in red.
"Brother Li, you are here as well."
"Didn't I hear that you were in urgent need of the Pure Accumulation Pill?"
"Could it be, you are here to..."
"Brother Liu."
The man in red nodded in response:
"I won't hide it from Brother Liu, indeed I wanted to find this fellow from Elixir Valley and purchase the Pure Accumulation Pill."
"But fate does not always work in one's favor; Elixir Valley does not have the Pure Accumulation Pill either."
Liu Yiyuan shook his head, saying:
"Ah... what a pity!"
Watching the two outperform each other in their acting, Lin Jing couldn't help but twitch his lips.
Then, Liu Yiyuan turned his gaze towards Lin Jing.
"This fellow Daoist from Elixir Valley, I've long heard of your great reputation and have come today especially to purchase elixirs from you,"
"I am Liu Yiyuan, a descendant of the Liu Clan of the Fang Market, with my family's ancestor being none other than the Wu Cai Immortal."
Lin Jing spoke:
"Ah, a descendant of the Wu Cai Immortal; I've long admired him,"
"Haha... you flatter me, fellow Daoist,"
Liu Yiyuan laughed twice, then said:
"What elixir medicines do you have here?"
"If possible, I'd like to take them all, just to make a friend."
Lin Jing then spoke:
"Young Master Liu, you've arrived a bit late, the elixirs have all been sold."
After speaking, he pointed to the man in the red clothes, "The last Pure Gathering Yuan Pill was taken by this fellow Daoist here."
"Really all sold out?" Liu Yiyuan frowned, surveying the empty stall.
"I wanted to buy an elixir to give as a gift; if you still have some, please don't hide them from me."
"A gift?" Lin Jing suddenly remembered the complaints from Huang Qingling, and an idea spontaneously formed.
"May I know whom Brother Liu wishes to gift this elixir to? How important is this person to you?" Lin Jing asked Liu Yiyuan.
Liu Yiyuan nodded, "I won't hide it from you, fellow Daoist; this person is very important to me."
"Could it be, fellow Daoist, that you still have elixirs?" Liu Yiyuan looked at Lin Jing, a gleam of joy in his eyes.
Lin Jing hesitated for a moment, then spoke, "Actually, I do have one more elixir, but this one was specifically reserved for my own breakthrough usage."
Saying so, Lin Jing took out a Pure Gathering Yuan Pill from his Storage Bag.
"Not to mislead you, fellow Daoist, my cultivation talent is extremely poor; without a vast amount of elixir support, I could not have reached my current realm."
"And this pill is a reward from Elixir Valley for my contributions over the years."
After Lin Jing finished speaking, he paused, seemingly very hesitant.
Moments later, Lin Jing looked at Liu Yiyuan:
"If you are indeed in urgent need, then selling this elixir to you wouldn't be a problem."
