Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

The cultivator who bought the Superior Energy Gathering Pills had hardly left when a slightly chubby middle-aged man approached the stall and asked: "Do you have Seven-Star Grass for sale?" "Yes, how much do you need?" Lin Jing replied. The middle-aged man didn't answer but instead asked: "How much do you have?" "A total of 2,000 jin." Lin Jing answered honestly. "2,000 jin..." After thinking for a bit, the middle-aged man spoke: "I'll take it all, name your price." Lin Jing was startled; this person was so generous, just taking it all directly. But that was fine too, selling it all in one go would save him the trouble. Lin Jing then said: "You should be aware of the black market's prices, my friend. They are generally 20% higher than those outside in Fang Market. Let's calculate based on the black market's prices." "For these 2,000 jin of Seven-Star Grass, how about 3,600 Spirit Stones?" The middle-aged man nodded and said, "That's fair, very reasonable." "However..." "Trading with Low Grade Spirit Stones is too troublesome, let's directly use Medium Grade Spirit Stones, if that's fine with you?" "Medium Grade Spirit Stones, of course, that works for me," Lin Jing nodded in agreement. "With the current exchange rate being 1:110, 3,600 Low Grade Spirit Stones converted into Medium Grade Spirit Stones would be a little over 32 Medium Grade Spirit Stones." "Just give me 32 Medium Grade Spirit Stones directly, my friend." Having said that, Lin Jing took out a Storage Bag and started to transfer the Seven-Star Grass inside it. The middle-aged man checked it over, and once he was sure it was correct, he transferred the Seven-Star Grass into his own Storage Bag. It took quite a while before all 2,000 jin of Seven-Star Grass was entirely transferred. After receiving the Seven-Star Grass, perhaps because the quality of the Seven-Star Grass was good, the middle-aged man was in a very good mood and spoke magnanimously: "Friend, I won't take advantage of you. How about this, I see that the Elixir Medicine you have on your stall looks good." "I'll buy it. The Seven-Star Grass plus this Elixir Medicine, together for 40 Medium Grade Spirit Stones, how about it?" "Sure." Lin Jing too was happy to do so and nodded in agreement. This Flawless Energy Gathering Pill was worth about 800 Low Grade Spirit Stones, and together with the Seven-Star Grass, that would be exactly 4,400 Low Grade Spirit Stones, equivalent to 40 Medium Grade Spirit Stones. In this way, neither side would lose out. Subsequently, the middle-aged man took out 40 Medium Grade Spirit Stones from his Storage Bag and handed them to Lin Jing. And Lin Jing, in turn, gave the Flawless Energy Gathering Pill to the middle-aged man, thus completing the transaction. Afterward, the middle-aged man took his leave. Lin Jing then picked up a Medium Grade Spirit Stone, observing it carefully. This was his first time seeing a Medium Grade Spirit Stone; it was a little larger than a Low Grade Spirit Stone, and it looked even purer. When held in hand, one could distinctly feel the vast Spiritual Power within. It was said that many Formations or Array Plates could now be activated with Medium Grade Spirit Stones, while Low Grade Spirit Stones, containing too little Spiritual Power, were utterly inadequate. ...... After the slightly chubby middle-aged man had left, Lin Jing's stall was empty. Since the stall didn't look good empty, Lin Jing once again took out a Flawless Elixir Medicine from his Storage Bag and placed it on the stall. This time, he took out a Flawless Blood Coagulation Pill. Some more time passed. A man in black clothing, wearing a wide-brimmed hat, stopped in front of Lin Jing's stall, staring at the sign in front of the stall, hesitant and indecisive. "May I ask what you would like?" Lin Jing asked. The man stepped forward, hesitated for a moment, then spoke: "Fellow Daoist, do you have a Flawless-grade Wound Healing Elixir here?" The Wound Healing Elixir is an advanced version of the Blood Coagulation Pill. Both are for repairing injuries, but while the Blood Coagulation Pill is a First Rank Elixir Medicine, the Wound Healing Elixir is a Second Rank Elixir Medicine. It seemed that the man in black had seen the Blood Coagulation Pills at Lin Jing's stall, which was why he had lingered here. "A Flawless-grade Wound Healing Elixir?" Lin Jing repeated. "Yes," the man replied. "Sorry, I don't have that at the moment." Upon hearing Lin Jing's words, the man in black bowed his head and turned to leave. "However..." Lin Jing suddenly changed his tone and said: "If you can afford to wait for some time, I might have a way to help you get one." Lin Jing didn't make any promises outright. After hearing Lin Jing's words, the man in black abruptly turned around, looked up to face Lin Jing, and even through the black veil hanging from his hat, Lin Jing could feel his burning gaze. The man in black urgently said, "May I know how long it will take for you to acquire it?" Observing the man's urgent demeanor, Lin Jing pondered internally: "This man in black seems quite anxious. If I'm not mistaken, someone in his family must need a Flawless Pure Body Restoration Pill to save their life." After some thought, Lin Jing replied: "It won't be long. If nothing unexpected happens, I can get my hands on a Flawless Pure Body Restoration Pill within six months." Six months is not a long time. Refining a Flawless Elixir Medicine is difficult, largely relying on luck. No one can guarantee they can produce one within six months, which is why there's such a high demand for them in the market. However, Lin Jing was different. He had access to the System Space, and within the Alchemy Room of the System Space, he received a bonus to the success rate of elixir production. Refining a Flawless Elixir Medicine wasn't very difficult for him. Still, even so, he needed time. According to Lin Jing's estimate, if nothing went wrong, he could produce at least one batch of Flawless Elixir Medicine within two months. The reason being that the Second Rank Elixir Medicine that the man in black needed was something Lin Jing was not yet proficient in refining, and he required more practice time. Additionally, refining Second Rank Elixir Medicines was tremendously exhausting. Lin Jing had to spend a lot of time recovering, at most producing three batches a day. Considering all these factors, and not wanting to reveal too much, Lin Jing had thus mentioned six months. After listening, the man in black lowered his head again: "Thank you, fellow Daoist, but I don't have that much time to wait. I only have at most one month." "Fellow Daoist, I will take my leave to seek elsewhere." Having said this, the man in black intended to leave. Just at that moment, a voice came through. "I think, aside from him, you will hardly find the elixir you want in the entire black market," "Not even in the whole Nanshan Market." Lin Jing looked up. He saw a young man in lavish clothing approaching from the direction he was looking. The young man walked steadily, neither hurriedly nor slowly, exuding a unique aura from inside out. He appeared to be the scion of a powerful family. The young man was exceptionally handsome and had a slight smile on his lips as he looked at Lin Jing, walking towards him. However, what Lin Jing paid more attention to was that in this black market, the man made no attempt to conceal his identity, which indicated that his family's power was immense, fearing no nocturnal miscreants.
