Chapter 97 - Chapter 97: Chapter 97 Elixir Valley Heir (2/2)

From then on, his reputation as the Elixir Valley Heir began to spread.

He clearly remembered never engaging with Huang Qingling using this false identity.

Not to mention Huang Qingling, he never interacted with anyone else either, simply selling elixirs every day.

During this time, Elder Master Li wanted to invite Lin Jing to the Li Family to discuss Alchemy Techniques, but Lin Jing flatly refused.

Elder Master Li didn’t say much in the end and could only leave in displeasure. The reason Lin Jing dared to be so high-profile was because

he knew that the black market was incredibly safe, and he was not afraid of those with ulterior motives targeting him.

Lin Jing had long heard that the person behind the black market was a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

Latter on, he made specific inquiries and finally understood the person behind the black market.

According to Lin Jing’s understanding…

The person behind the black market, whose name was not known, was called the Demon Lord by others. Not only was his cultivation extremely high, but his actions were also extremely domineering.

Moreover, this person placed great importance on the black market and would never allow anyone to cause trouble on his territory.

Previously, outside the Fang Market, there was a super-major family that, relying on its own strength and some connections with the Qingyuan Sword Sect, acted very arrogantly.

Once, during an incident in the black market, a member of that family got into a dispute with someone and, ignoring persuasion, killed a stall owner on the spot.

Of course, the black market could not ignore this, so they sent a guard team to apprehend the perpetrator.

But at that time, the family’s Golden Core Stage patriarch was also present.

The patriarch even went as far as to injure several members of the black market’s guard team and then left with the family’s young members.

Everyone originally thought that because the family was powerful and had connections with the Qingyuan Sword Sect, the Demon Lord would turn a blind eye to the incident.

After all, the patriarch had shown mercy by not killing a member of the black market’s guard team. However, unexpectedly,

after they left…

That incredibly powerful family was wiped out by the Demon Lord overnight; blood flowed like rivers, sparing neither chicken nor dog.

This included the family’s Golden Core Peak Patriarch.

And the mid-Golden Core Stage patriarch met a miserable end; after his death, his head was hung on the family shrine’s plaque.

Later, due to the enormous impact of this event, the Qingyuan Sword Sect had no choice but to dispatch two Nascent Soul Elders to find the Demon Lord.

Everyone thought this would be another conflict.

However, the expected fight did not occur.

After those two Nascent Soul Elders met with the Demon Lord, they returned to the Qingyuan Sword Sect.

Afterward, the Qingyuan Sword Sect sent the family’s last surviving member, also an Inner Sect Disciple, out of the Nanming Domain. And the Demon Lord did not take action again.

The matter just faded away like that.

From then on, everyone in the Fang Market deeply remembered one iron rule:

That is, one must never cause trouble in the black market.

It was only after learning of these events that Lin Jing dared to openly sell Pure Elixir Medicine.

Furthermore, it is said that the Demon Lord currently spends most of his time in seclusion, trying to break through to the Divinity Transformation Realm, and usually, he would not come out unless something significant happened.

But even so, no one dared to cause any trouble in the black market.

Returning to Lin Jing’s situation.

When he heard Huang Qingling say her breakthrough was due to the Elixir Valley Heir, Lin Jing also became puzzled. “Tell me, how is your upgrade related to the Elixir Valley Heir?” “Could it be that you know this person?”

Lin Jing stared intently at Huang Qingling, awaiting her response.

Meanwhile, he couldn’t help but wonder, “Could someone be impersonating

Huang Qingling then let out a sigh.

“Alas…”

“How could I possibly know such a noble figure? I wish I did…”

Then, Huang Qingling continued:

“He only appears in the black market and is as elusive as a dragon; even Elder

Master Li was refused when he invited him to discuss Alchemy Dao.”

“Let alone me….”
