“Pure Accumulation Pill?”
Lin Jing frowned and shook his head, saying:
Then, the youth in red continued to speak to Lin Jing:
“I’m in urgent need of the Pure Accumulation Pill.”
“May I ask, fellow Daoist, if it were to be refined by your Elixir Valley, could it be done in a short period of time?”
Looking at the red-robed youth before him, Lin Jing remembered something Liu Yiyuan had let slip by accident two months ago, when trading for The Hidden Dragon Pendant of the Azure Moon with a stall owner.
Back then, Liu Yiyuan had said that the Pure Accumulation Pill would be extremely difficult to find, even more precious than the pure Foundation Building Elixir.
Lin Jing was initially puzzled by this statement.
But before long, Liu Yiyuan’s words proved true.
Within a short period, the entire Fang Market was swept clean of Pure Accumulation Pills.
Even the elixir medicines others had been hoarding were bought out at high prices.
Following that…
The main ingredient for making Clear Accumulation Elixirs—the Dust Cleansing Grass—was secretly bought up en masse by someone.
Before long, there was scarcely any to be found within the entire market.
Moreover, not just in Nanshan Market, but also within several Immortal Cities close to the market, the situation was the same.
Even Yuebaolou only had fewer than a hundred Dust Cleansing Grass plants left, and that was reserved expressly for emergencies.
However…
Fortunately, the Clear Accumulation Elixir was rarely needed by cultivators, and even without the Pure Accumulation Pill, nothing much would be impacted.
So, at first, not many people paid attention to it.
It was only when the price of Dust Cleansing Grass kept soaring, multiplying several times over seemingly out of thin air, that people started taking notice.
However, by then, there was hardly any Dust Cleansing Grass available on the market, making it impossible to purchase even if one wanted to.
At this point, Lin Jing understood.
Perhaps after this, there would be some major moves from Liu Yiyuan and this red-robed youth’s family.
At this moment, this red -robed youth came to him specifically asking for Pure Accumulation Pills; Lin Jing couldn’t help but become vigilant.
“Could this be a test?”
Lin Jing looked at the red-robed youth before him, pondered for a moment, and then said:
“I’m terribly sorry, fellow Daoist, our Elixir Valley does not have any Pure
Accumulation Pills either.”
“You must be aware of the current situation in the markets.”
“And not just the markets, even the several Immortal Cities close by probably don’t have the main ingredient necessary to refine the Clear Accumulation Elixir—Dust Cleansing Grass.”
“Although we in Elixir Valley remain secluded and don’t appear in public, many of the spirit plants we need are still purchased from the nearby cities.”
“The Pure Accumulation Pill you require is, I’m afraid, beyond our capabilities as well.”
Even after Lin Jing had said this, the red-robed man still didn’t give up and persisted in asking:
“Fellow Daoist.”
“I really do urgently need the Pure Accumulation Pill!”
“I would like to ask you, if I can provide you with Dust Cleansing Grass, do you know how long it would take your Elixir Valley to refine it?”
At this point, the red-robed man looked extremely sincere.
However, to Lin Jing, his words were all too clear, and he even claimed he could provide Dust Cleansing Grass.
This only made Lin Jing more certain of his suspicion that they were definitely involved in this matter.
“Don’t worry, fellow Daoist, as long as your Elixir Valley can refine it, I promise the reward will be substantial,” the man assured. After hearing this, Lin Jing thought scornfully:
“Substantial reward…”
“If I actually managed to refine it, I bet the first thing they would do is find a way to track me down and silence me.”
Guided by the principle that less trouble is better than more, Lin Jing simply responded:
