24: Chapter 24: Sales Channels of Luolingsan
Lue Ling Powder is formless, colorless, and odorless, and can play a crucial role at critical moments.
Tomorrow I must find Tian Zhongli again to purchase another dose, and I must properly thank him. If he hadn't sent me a message, I would have capsized in the ditch today.
Thinking back to today's crisis, Chen Yingong still felt lingering fear. The Lue Ling Powder he had only bought yesterday had just saved his life.
It was the right time, the right fate, the right luck.
The next day, Chen Yingong immediately controlled his spiritual boat and flew towards the Xiao Yun Mountain Market early in the morning.
Brother Yinkong, you came today, is there something wrong?
Tian Zhongli looked at the anxiously arriving Chen Yingong in surprise. He had sold a dose of Lue Ling Powder to Chen Yingong yesterday.
Could it be that something went wrong?
Brother Tian, I came here this time specifically to thank you for saving my life.
That Lue Ling Powder's effect is astonishing. Do you still have it here? I am willing to purchase several more doses.
Chen Yingong recounted what had happened yesterday, which also greatly shocked Tian Zhongli about the effectiveness of Lue Ling Powder.
At the same time, Tian Zhongli regretted his pricing immensely. If he had known that Lue Ling Powder had such miraculous effects, he should have added another 500 spiritual stones to the price when he sold it.
I still have one dose of Lue Ling Powder left here. If Brother Yinkong wants it, I will sell it to you. However, scarcity makes things valuable, so the price needs to be increased by another 500 spiritual stones.
Chen Yingong was not bothered by Tian Zhongli's price increase, but asked with confusion: "Lue Ling Powder is such a strange poison, is it hard to come by? Why is there only one dose left?"
If Lue Ling Powder had such miraculous effects and could be mass-produced and used unexpectedly during battle, it would definitely be a Sharp Weapon to turn the tide of battle.
This Lue Ling Powder was sold to me by a member of Brother Yinkong's Family. He said there was only one dose. If there are more, Brother Yinkong will have to find them himself.
Tian Zhongli did not hide the information about Chen Jiancang. In his opinion, if Chen Jiancang still had Lue Ling Powder, revealing his information was giving him an Opportunity.
After all, with Chen Jiancang's Qi Refining Fourth Layer cultivation, possessing Lue Ling Powder wouldn't be of much use. If he sold it, he could instead obtain a large sum of spiritual stones.
Oh? Can you reveal his name?
Chen Jiancang of Xiao Yun Mountain.
When Chen Yingong heard the name "Chen Jiancang", his brows furrowed slightly, and he quickly searched his mind for information about this person.
Unfortunately, the Chen Family has many disciples, and he really had no impression of this junior.
However, the immense value of Lue Ling Powder made him unable to care about such things. He immediately decided to go meet this Chen Jiancang.
Thank you, Brother Tian, for informing me. I will buy this last dose of Lue Ling Powder first.
Chen Yingong said, taking out spiritual stones without hesitation and handing them to Tian Zhongli.
He then added, "If you have any good things in the future, I hope Brother Tian can inform me as soon as possible."
Tian Zhongli took the spiritual stones, his face full of smiles: "Brother Yinkong, don't worry, if I have any news, I will definitely not forget you."
After leaving Tian Zhongli's shop, Chen Yingong rushed towards Chen Jiancang's residence without stopping.
Along the way, he kept thinking about how to communicate with Chen Jiancang, so that he could successfully buy Lue Ling Powder without making the other party feel that he was using his power to bully others.
When Chen Yingong arrived at Chen Jiancang's residence, Chen Jiancang had just returned from working in the Spirit Field and was preparing to rest.
Seeing a Qi Refining Ninth Layer Senior suddenly visit, his heart was full of doubt and vigilance.
May I ask who Senior is?
Chen Yingong smiled slightly, trying to make his tone sound gentle: "You are Chen Jiancang, right? I am Chen Yingong. I came today because I heard you have Lue Ling Powder for sale, so I came to visit."
Chen Jiancang was startled. He didn't expect that the matter of him selling Lue Ling Powder had still been leaked.
At that time, he had already stated that there was only one dose, wanting to avoid unnecessary trouble.
But in the end, someone still came looking for him, which meant that this Uncle-Grandfather in front of him was the user of Lue Ling Powder.
He secretly speculated about Chen Yingong's intentions, but remained calm on the surface: "So it is Uncle-Grandfather Yinkong. That is indeed the case. However, the Lue Ling Powder in my hand was only that one bottle, and it has already been sold to Manager Tian of Chen's Treasure Pavilion."
Chen Yingong quickly said: "Nephew, don't misunderstand, I have no ill intentions. To be honest, I encountered a life-and-death crisis in the Qingya Mountain Range yesterday, and that Lue Ling Powder saved my life. So I came specifically today to purchase it. As for the price, you can name your price."
Chen Jiancang's heart stirred. He knew the value of Lue Ling Powder and understood that this was a rare Opportunity.
But he also knew that he couldn't appear too eager, and he currently had no stock of Lue Ling Powder in his hand.
If he said there was only one dose, then the Lue Ling Powder refined in the future would not be easy to sell anymore.
After pondering for a moment, Chen Jiancang already had an idea in his mind.
Uncle-Grandfather, to be honest, this Lue Ling Powder is not easy to refine, and I really don't have any in stock temporarily.
But I know its refining method. If Uncle-Grandfather trusts me, give me some time, and I will prepare the Materials and definitely refine a few more bottles for you.
Chen Jiancang did not intend to hide it. After all, he would still rely on Lue Ling Powder to earn spiritual stones in the future.
You actually know the refining method of Lue Ling Powder!
He had originally thought that Lue Ling Powder was a rare item, after all, it was a strange poison that could affect Foundation Establishment cultivators.
But who would have thought that such a strange poison was actually refined by this unknown Qi Refining Fourth Layer junior Cultivator in front of him.
If it could be mass-produced...
Are you willing to contribute the refining method of Lue Ling Powder to the Chen Family?
Chen Jiancang's heart skipped a beat, but he still maintained his composure.
After a moment of contemplation, he said: "Uncle-Grandfather, this refining method is like the foundation of my survival for me."
The Chen Family has the grace of raising me, and I should not hide anything, but once this method is offered, I really have some concerns about the subsequent matters.
Seeing that Chen Jiancang did not refuse outright, a glimmer of hope ignited in Chen Yingong's heart.
His tone also became gentler: "Nephew, whatever concerns you have, just say them. As long as they are reasonable requests, the Chen Family will definitely satisfy you."
If this Lue Ling Powder can be used by the Chen Family, it will be of great benefit to both you personally and the entire Chen Family. Your position in the Chen Family will also inevitably rise.
Chen Jiancang nodded slightly and said after a moment of thought: "Uncle-Grandfather, I naturally understand what the strength of the Chen Family means to me. The refining of this Lue Ling Powder does not require any rare Materials, but a spiritual plant called Lueling Grass."
Its growth conditions are harsh and it consumes a lot of land fertility, and it also requires arranging Formations such as the Gathering Spirit Array and the Gathering Spirit Soil Cultivating Array, which is quite costly.
Furthermore, Lue Ling Powder is not omnipotent. One only needs to hold their breath to isolate its poison. It can only exert its miraculous effect when used unexpectedly.
If it is mass-produced and its reputation is spread outside, causing others to be prepared, it will not be able to play its due role.
Chen Yingong's heart tightened. What Chen Jiancang said was indeed reasonable.
If the refining method of Lue Ling Powder were rashly made public, it would not only be difficult to ensure that the Chen Family could obtain it stably for a long time, but it might also cause it to lose the advantage of surprise.
After pondering for a long time, Chen Yingong raised his head, a kind smile appearing on his face.
Nephew, you have analyzed it very thoroughly, it was my oversight. Since that is the case, the Chen Family will not force you to contribute the refining method.
However, Lue Ling Powder is extremely important. Once you refine it again, supply it directly to the Chen Family's Law Enforcement Hall, and you must not sell it to others.
He was originally a Deacon of the Law Enforcement Hall. If the Law Enforcement Hall was equipped with Lue Ling Powder, it could greatly reduce the high casualty rate of the Law Enforcement Hall when used unexpectedly.
Chen Jiancang was overjoyed. This was exactly the result he had hoped for. He could keep the refining method of Lue Ling Powder and also continuously obtain spiritual stones from the Law Enforcement Hall.
Once he refined Lue Ling Powder again, he wouldn't have to worry about selling it.
