Chapter 50 - Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Return to the Black Market (2/2)
Lin Jing left his house, walking towards the edge of Fang Market.
There were many teleportation arrays leading to the black market, most of them very secretive, and the one Lin Jing was heading to was near the edge of Fang Market.
Reaching the edge of Fang Market, Lin Jing entered an unnamed street. It was already late into the night, the street was exceptionally quiet, completely deserted.
Lin Jing arrived at a shop at the end of the street and knocked three times on the door.
After a moment, the shop door opened, and a man invited Lin Jing inside.
Once inside, he found the space surprisingly spacious and brightly lit, with many cultivators gathered there, their laughter and cursing mingling in a bustling atmosphere.
It turned out to be a gambling den.
Lin Jing did not linger in the gambling den but walked through it to the backyard.
In the backyard of the gambling den was a three-story building, splendid and magnificent, with two large red lanterns hanging at the front.
From outside, one could see several cultivators, each with a fair-looking young woman in their arms.
It seemed that behind this gambling house was a courtesan house.
Lin Jing did not enter the courtesan house but turned into a deserted side path.
About quarter of an hour later, Lin Jing arrived at the end of the path. Other than a rockery and a bamboo forest, there was nothing else.
Walking deep into the bamboo forest behind the rockery, Lin Jing stopped and carelessly swept aside the weeds and fallen leaves on the ground, revealing a corner of a formation.
Lin Jing took out a black market token from his storage bag and placed it directly on the exposed part of the formation. Subsequently, a light shone, and the formation began to activate.
Lin Jing put away the black market token and then covered the exposed formation with fallen leaves once more, waiting for the teleportation to end.
Soon, the light from the formation faded, and Lin Jing disappeared from the spot, as darkness once again enveloped the bamboo forest.
When he opened his eyes again, Lin Jing found himself deep within a forest, shrouded in darkness. He could only navigate through it by memory.
Less than half an hour later, Lin Jing saw a bright light up ahead; he had arrived at the black market.
The exact location of the black market was unknown. Such a vast area, all cloaked by a formation, remained unaffected by the beast tides, operating as usual.
This indicated the forces behind the black market were far from simple.
Taking a conical hat out of his storage bag, Lin Jing put it on his head and proceeded towards the black market.
After paying twenty lower grade spirit stones, Lin Jing entered the black market.
Indeed, the entry fee to the black market had increased, but of course, twenty spirit stones were not much for those who could enter the black market.
The black market had rules. Sellers had to rent stalls and were not allowed to trade privately; otherwise, their black market tokens would be confiscated, and they would be expelled from the market.
Lin Jing was there to sell elixir medicines and Seven-Star Grass, which meant he first needed to rent a stall to start selling.
Next, Lin Jing spent 50 spirit stones to rent a very small stall and wrote on the sign in front: Elixir medicines and Seven-Star Grass for sale (Note: Pure Elixirs available).
Then, he took out a pure jade box from his storage bag. Inside the box was a Pure Energy Gathering Pill, which he placed on the stall as a display.
After that, he sat down and waited for customers to approach.
Although there were many people coming and going in the black market, Lin Jing’s stall was not large, and its location was somewhat remote, so not many people came to inquire.
But he was not in a hurry; it was still early.
About an hour passed, and Lin Jing had already made a sale, selling three Superior Gathering Yuan Pills at 70 spirit stones each, earning a total of 210 spirit stones from these three pills alone.
As expected, second rank elixir medicines were incomparable to first rank, fetching so many spirit stones with just three pills.
If he could sell more excellent quality, or even Pure grade elixir medicines.
He would undoubtedly become wealthy..
