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.”
