249: Chapter 249 Keep a Low Profile

Crimson Void Demon-Slaying Pill

One of the most difficult types of pills among 6th-rank Medicinal Pills.

Although Alchemist Ji Yun was a 6th-rank Alchemist and had attempted to refine the Crimson Void Demon-Slaying Pill many times, he had never succeeded once.

Even after multiple failures, he still didn't have the slightest clue.

Thinking of this, Alchemist Ji Yun gave a bitter smile; perhaps he would remain a 6th-rank Alchemist for the rest of his life.

"Was the effect of the previous Crimson Void Demon-Slaying Pill insufficient?"

Lin Ming asked.

The Crimson Void Demon-Slaying Pill, as the name suggested, was a type of pill used to dispel Evil Qi.

The so-called Evil Qi could be considered a type of natural spiritual essence, but ordinary people would not come into contact with it, as Evil Qi could easily take a person's life.

Of course, Evil Cultivators were the exception.

"One Crimson Void Demon-Slaying Pill is not enough."

Vice President Qin Zhu said.

"With the capabilities of your Yunhai Chamber of Commerce, obtaining this Crimson Void Demon-Slaying Pill shouldn't be difficult, right?"

Lin Ming said.

As a 6th-rank Medicinal Pill, the difficulty of refining the Crimson Void Demon-Slaying Pill was indeed high.

But with the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce's power, finding an Alchemist capable of refining this pill shouldn't be a problem.

To this, Vice President Qin Zhu also gave a bitter smile.

Indeed, with their chamber's capabilities, finding an Alchemist who could refine the Crimson Void Demon-Slaying Pill was not hard.

But that was assuming they were willing to refine it.

"Five hundred High Grade Origin Stones, acceptable."

Lin Ming nodded.

From Vice President Qin Zhu's bitter smile, Lin Ming could roughly deduce a few things.

It was nothing more than internal strife, power struggles, and the like.

But that was none of Lin Ming's business; since the other party offered this price, he would take the job.

Normally, the price of a Crimson Void Demon-Slaying Pill was around three hundred Origin Stones. The High Grade Crimson Void Demon-Slaying Pill Lin Ming sold to Manager Wang Hai last time was at that price.

Five hundred High Grade Origin Stones far exceeded that price.

Lin Ming accepted it; it wasn't a difficult task for him.

"Prepare the Materials yourselves."

Lin Ming said.

He didn't have the Materials for the Crimson Void Demon-Slaying Pill on hand.

"No problem."

A look of joy appeared on Vice President Qin Zhu's face.

Materials weren't an issue as long as Lin Ming was willing to refine it for them.

"Wang Hai."

Vice President Qin Zhu then looked at Manager Wang Hai.

Manager Wang Hai understood what Vice President Qin Zhu meant and walked out of the room.

After a short while, Vice President Qin Zhu came out holding a Storage Pouch, which contained two sets of Materials for the Crimson Void Demon-Slaying Pill.

"Once it's refined, I will deliver it."

Lin Ming took the Materials, stood up, and left.

Manager Wang Hai followed him all the way, seeing Lin Ming out of the chamber of commerce.

"I hope nothing goes wrong this time."

Vice President Qin Zhu said in a heavy voice.

The previous Crimson Void Demon-Slaying Pill had already eased the situation considerably.

They just hadn't expected that one Crimson Void Demon-Slaying Pill wouldn't be enough and that a second one was needed.

Otherwise, as time passed, that first Crimson Void Demon-Slaying Pill would have been as good as wasted.

But Crimson Void Demon-Slaying Pills were not so easily obtained.

Meeting Lin Ming was a stroke of good luck for them.

Someone who could produce 8th-rank pills must have a significant power behind them.

He hoped no mistakes would occur this time.

"I hope so."

Alchemist Ji Yun said solemnly.

At the same time,

Inside a luxurious room in the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce,

A young man was lying on a chair, served by several beautiful and scantily clad maidservants.

*Thud...*

A knock sounded at the door.

"Come in."

The young man said.

The door opened, and a man entered with an extremely flattering smile, walking up to the young man.

"Young Master, Vice President Qin's side took two sets of Materials for the Crimson Void Demon-Slaying Pill, mixed in with other spiritual Materials."

The man said with a somewhat fawning smile.

"Oh, they haven't given up yet?"

The young man said with a slightly mocking smile.

"Tell me, who did they find this time?"

The young man asked.

He wanted to see who was going to refine the Crimson Void Demon-Slaying Pill for them.

"I don't recognize the person. After he arrived at the chamber, he was received by Vice President Qin and Alchemist Ji Yun personally."

The man said.

"Find him."

The young man sneered.

"Our people have already followed him."

The man said quickly.

Outside the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce,

After Lin Ming left the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce, he noticed people were secretly tracking him.

Lin Ming shook these people off very easily.

As for their purpose, Lin Ming didn't care.

Next, Lin Ming arrived at the Wanfu Chamber of Commerce.

Also one of the strongest chambers of commerce in the Qingxuan Realm, the headquarters of the Wanfu Chamber of Commerce was not in Tianyun City, but the scale of their branch here was very large.

It was specifically to compete with the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce.

To counter the large-scale auctions held by the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce, the Wanfu Chamber of Commerce would also hold an auction around the same time.

The items they could produce were all top-quality.

Lin Ming certainly wouldn't put all his eggs in one basket; he had to spread them out.

Otherwise, it would be too easy to attract attention.

It was better to keep a slightly lower profile.

One 8th-rank Low Grade Origin Weapon,

One 8th-rank Medium Grade Origin Weapon,

One 8th-rank High Grade Origin Weapon.

When Lin Ming brought out these three Origin Weapons, the Wanfu Chamber of Commerce was shaken, and their president personally came out to receive Lin Ming.

They didn't even want to send them to the auction, preferring to buy them directly for the chamber, but Lin Ming refused, so they had to put them up for auction.

Similarly, after Lin Ming left the Wanfu Chamber of Commerce, he was followed.

After shaking these people off, Lin Ming restored his original appearance within the crowd.

He returned to the inn.

However, when Lin Ming returned to the inn, he found that the entire inn seemed to have been cleared out.

Yes, cleared out in the literal sense.

The people who originally lived in this inn had all left one by one.

The Gu Family?

Lin Ming learned from a cultivator who had been asked to leave that it was the Gu Family who had requested them to move out; the inn they were staying in was also a property of the Gu Family.

The Gu Family had notified them all to leave half an hour ago, refunding all previous room fees and providing double the price as compensation.

This caused many who had objections to immediately lose their temper, and the few who still had issues found it hard to say anything.

There was no other way; in Tianyun City, the Gu Family was like a local tyrant.

The fact that the Gu Family was willing to compensate them was already considered very good.

However, why were they being forced out?

None of them knew; they were all asked to leave in a state of complete bewilderment.

Seeing this, Lin Ming walked directly into the inn.

He was still staying in this inn, and his Revered Master was still inside.

His esteemed Revered Master couldn't have been cleared out as well, could she?

"Greetings, Little Friend Lin."
