This could also be considered a small anti-counterfeiting feature Lin Jing had implemented, although it might not be very useful.
Seeing this Pure Jade Box in an instant, Lin Jing’s mouth twitched. “Buying one’s own elixir to give to oneself.”
“This Huang Qingling…” Lin Jing was left speechless for a moment.
“However, he doesn’t know the Elixir Valley Heir is himself.” Thinking of this,
Lin Jing also let it go.
“Right. ”
“Fellow Daoist Qing Ling, where did you buy this elixir? How many Spirit Stones did it cost?”
Lin Jing remembered clearly that Huang Qingling had never been to the black market, and he had also never sold any elixir medicines to her.
Huang Qingling said while touching the Pure Jade Box in her hand:
“You don’t know, the elixirs sold by the Elixir Valley Heir are now expensive.
This was obtained by Old Man Bai from someone else.”
“Just for this one elixir, it cost 800 Lower Grade Spirit Stones.”
“800 Lower Grade Spirit Stones? I’ve heard other people say that it doesn’t seem to be that expensive,” Lin Jing looked at Huang Qingling, asking with doubt.
The elixir in Huang Qingling’s hand was a Pure Energy Gathering Pill.
Because the beast tide no longer affected it, the prices in the Fang Market had returned to normal levels, and the black market price Lin Jing had set for this elixir was 600 Lower Grade Spirit Stones each.
It was just slightly more expensive than in the outside Fang Market.
Yet the one in Huang Qingling’s hands had actually sold for as much as 800 Spirit Stones, which was unexpected to Lin Jing.
“That’s right, elixirs coming from the Elixir Valley Heir are definitely expensive, and some people even buy them specifically to collect,” Huang Qingling continued in a quieter voice.
“Even more, some people vigorously promote the effects of Supreme Elixirs and Superior Elixirs, continually raising the price.”
As Huang Qingling spoke, her voice trailed off softly, and she continued:
“And I’ve heard that some people are selling fake elixirs pretending they are from Elixir Valley.”
After hearing this, Lin Jing expressed his surprise: “Isn’t that deceiving people?”
Huang Qingling quickly explained:
“That’s from Elixir Valley itself, and now everyone believes that Elixir Valley’s elixirs are extraordinary. Even if it’s a lie, there are definitely people willing to pay for it.”
“So, it’s only natural for others to sell it at a higher price.”
After listening to Huang Qingling, Lin Jing’s brow slightly furrowed: “It seems that other elixirs really can’t continue to be sold.”
Just then, an arm as fair and beautiful as jade lotus root stretched over.
“Here, take it, it’s for you.”
As Huang Qingling spoke, she pushed the Pure Jade Box into Lin Jing’s hand.
“Fellow Daoist Qing Ling, this…” Lin Jing wanted to refuse but couldn’t find any excuse on the spot.
“Stop dithering, take the elixir, and hurry up and make something tasty for me,” Huang Qingling said decisively.
“Taking advantage of the fact that Little Sparrow isn’t around right now, I might as well take a break myself.”
“Today, I’ve nearly been annoyed to death by a troublesome guy who even said he would get an Elixir Valley elixir to give to me, as if I would care…”
“Is it Liu Yiyuan again?” Lin Jing looked at Huang Qingling and asked.
Ever since Liu Yiyuan had recovered from his injuries, he had constantly been harassing Huang Qingling, who was immensely annoyed by this.
“Who else but him?” Huang Qingling replied, huffily.
Lin Jing teased: “If he gives it to you, why not just accept it? After all, you suffer no loss, and besides, he wouldn’t dare do anything to you.”
Huang Qingling glared at Lin Jing with disdain:
“How could I possibly accept his stuff? You’re really underestimating me. I wouldn’t care for it even if it were something extremely precious.”
Lin Jing continued:
“Oh, then don’t accept it. Just say that what he gave doesn’t suit your taste, the heart’s not sincere, and tell him not to bother you again.”
