The cultivator who bought the Superior Energy Gathering Pill had not left for long before a slightly portly middle-aged man arrived at the stall and inquired:
“Do you have Seven-Star Grass for sale?”
“Yes, how much would you like?” Lin Jing replied. The middle-aged man did not respond, but instead asked: “How much do you have?”
“In total, 2000 pounds.” Lin Jing answered truthfully.
“2000 pounds…”
The middle-aged man thought for a moment, then said:
“I’ll take it all. Name your price.”
Lin Jing was startled. The man was so generous to directly take it all.
But this was also good, as selling in one go would save him the trouble.
Lin Jing then said:
“You must be aware of the black market prices, which are generally twenty percent higher than those outside in the Fang Market. Let’s go by the black market rates.”
“For these 2000 pounds of Seven-Star Grass, how about 3600 Spirit Stones?”
The middle-aged man nodded and said, “That’s fair.”
“However…”
“Trading with Lower Grade Spirit Stones is too troublesome; let’s use Medium
Grade Spirit Stones instead. What do you think?”
“Medium Grade Spirit Stones? Of course, that’s fine.” Lin Jing nodded.
“The current exchange rate is 1 Medium Grade Spirit Stone to 110 Lower Grade
Spirit Stones. So, 3600 Lower Grade Spirit Stones would equal a little over 32
Medium Grade Spirit Stones.”
“You can just give me 32 Medium Grade Spirit Stones.”
Having said that, Lin Jing took out a Storage Bag and began transferring the Seven-Star Grass out of it.
The middle-aged man inspected the transfer, and once satisfied, transferred the Seven-Star Grass into his own Storage Bag.
It took a while for all 2000 pounds of the Seven-Star Grass to be transferred.
After receiving the Seven-Star Grass, perhaps because the quality was good, the middle-aged man was in a good mood and spoke magnanimously:
“Friend, I won’t take advantage of you. Look, the Elixir Medicine on your stall is quite decent.”
“I’ll buy that as well. How about Seven-Star Grass and that Elixir together for
40 Medium Grade Spirit Stones?”
“Fine. ”
Lin Jing was happy with that and nodded in agreement.
The Pure Energy Gathering Pill was worth about 800 Lower Grade Spirit
Stones, and together with the Seven-Star Grass, it made a total of 4400 Lower Grade Spirit Stones, which equaled exactly 40 Medium Grade Spirit Stones when converted. So everyone came out even.
The middle-aged man then took out 40 Medium Grade Spirit Stones from his Storage Bag and handed them to Lin Jing.
And Lin Jing, in turn, handed over the Pure Energy Gathering Pill to the middle-aged man, completing the transaction.
Afterward, the middle-aged man took his leave.
Lin Jing then picked up a Medium Grade Spirit Stone and observed it carefully.
It was his first time seeing a Medium Grade Spirit Stone. Compared to Lower Grade Spirit Stones, it was somewhat larger and appeared to be more pure.
When held in his hand, he could clearly feel the immense Spiritual Power within it.
It was said that many Formations or Array Plates could now be activated with Medium Grade Spirit Stones, whereas Lower Grade Spirit Stones, which contained too little Spiritual Power, would not suffice at all.
