The supply of Qi-nourishing pills has always been in short supply, no matter where it is. Due to the lack of materials, there may even be gaps. Even the wealthy Lin family sometimes cannot get Qi-nourishing pills.
This period can be considered the peak season, and there is no shortage of Qi-nourishing pills on the market. However, with so many people using them, there are always limits to what can be circulated normally. Most of them are controlled by auction houses or real wealthy nobles.
In order to wait until the off-season or when there is a break, and then take it out and make a lot of money.
The Qi Laosan in front of me is the boss of the underground black market in Tianhe City. He is engaged in this kind of jet lag business. Although his power is not huge, only the heel of the Lin family, he is still a figure after all. He is usually polite to all major forces.
Plus, he was very measured in what he did, so no one came to challenge him, which allowed him to gain some fame.
After all, forces like this will never disappear. After defeating one, another one will appear. Rather than being controlled by some fools who don't know the heights of the world, it would be better for everyone to let smart people take over.
The Lin family's demand for Qi-nourishing pills is too great. This cannot be solved by just having money. Lin Ze has consumed so much in the past few days, which makes it difficult for him to compete with his brothers and sisters for limited resources, so he can only
Come for the black market idea.
He knew that with Qi Laosan's shrewdness, he must have a lot of Qi-nourishing pills in his hands.
Qi Laosan certainly knows that smart people don't tell lies in front of them, otherwise he wouldn't be sitting in this position. Hearing what Lin Ze said, he had no choice but to respond directly, "How much does the second young master want?"
Lin Ze took out the thirteen thousand taels of silver notes from his arms and handed them over, "Not many, two hundred and fifty."
"This..." Holding the banknote, Qi Laosan looked a little embarrassed and had a wry smile.
Judging from the current market, Lin Ze's transaction does not take advantage of him, but he is doing black market business. If he keeps these 250 Qi Nourishing Pills for a while, he can sell them for at least 20,000 taels, and even in the future.
During the fault period, you can take it to an auction house and sell it for thirty or forty thousand taels, which is not too much.
If another person were to do business with him, Qi Laosan would ask his subordinates to kick him out, but he couldn't afford to offend the second young master of the Lin family, so he could only smile bitterly.
Lin Ze smiled and said seriously: "I know this business is unfair to you, and I don't want to take advantage of you. If you don't agree, I will leave immediately without saying anything. I will never bully you. If you agree,
, just think that I, Lin Ze, owe you a favor."
Lin Ze’s favor?
Qi Laosan couldn't help but be startled, and his heart was about to move.
Maybe it doesn't sound like that's a big deal. After all, Lin Ze has never even passed the coming-of-age ceremony. What does the favor of an underage boy mean? But Qi Laosan understands very well how important Lin Ze is in the Lin family.
Although Lin Ze's qualifications are mediocre, there have been rumors recently that his cultivation is completely useless... Maybe it's not a rumor, because Qi Laosan can't feel the slightest fluctuation of Qi in Lin Ze at this moment, and he is no longer a refiner.
A warrior in the Qi stage, but this is nothing.
Lin Ze is the only son of the head of the Lin family. Among the younger generation of the Lin family, his reputation and popularity are the highest. Even geniuses like Lin Chen and Lin Xue cannot compare with him. On the one hand, this is because the Lin family is different from other big families.
It was caused by different family traditions, but on the other hand, it also showed Lin Ze's level of conduct.
A person with mediocre talent can make the geniuses in the family look at him differently and make the elders pity and admire him. Qi Laosan has no idea how to do it. At least, he has never seen anything like this in his many years of life.
Example...except Lin Ze!
Therefore, even if Lin Zexiu is really useless, he is still the most important member of the Lin family.
Lin Ze's favor is almost equal to the Lin family's favor.
Although Qi Laosan has done well in Tianhe City, he still can't get on the stage after all. Not to mention that he can't compare with the Lin family and the Lou family. He doesn't dare to offend even inferior families. In order to maintain stability, he pays these big families every year.
The money offered is a large amount, and there cannot be any bias, otherwise it will offend others.
And now, if you sell a favor to Lin Ze, it will be equivalent to getting on the line with the Lin family. Although this will offend the Lou family, so what?
Although the Lou family has some connections with the Jin royal family, the real overlord in Tianhe City is always the Lin family, and the Lin family is not alone. The Lou family has backers in the imperial capital, so the Lin family has no companions in the imperial capital.
The Wang family, who came from a century-old scholar family, is the Lin family's staunchest ally.
It's about building relationships, but it's also about taking sides.
After only hesitating for a moment, Qi Laosan had already made a decision and said loudly: "The second young master is really straightforward and well-deserved. Qi Laosan has not served many people in his life, but the second young master is definitely one of them. Since the second young master is both
Having said that, I want to act like a bitch again and refuse to give you face... Come on! Bring up the Qi Nourishing Pill and the jade bottle as well."
Lin Ze smiled and said nothing.
After a while, his men came over holding two boxes.
Qi Laosan opened a box, pointed at the rows of pills inside and said: "Two hundred and fifty doesn't sound good. Here are three hundred Qi-nourishing pills. It is the hard work of Qi Laosan and my brothers in the past year. Now they are all
To the second young master."
Lin Ze was not coquettish, "Okay, I will remember this favor."
Then, Qi Laosan opened the second box. There was only a palm-sized jade bottle inside. He brought it to Lin Ze and said with a smile, "Second Young Master, do you know what this is?"
"What is this?" Of course Lin Ze didn't know.
"Uh..." Qi Laosan's expression suddenly became a little embarrassed, "Well, actually I don't know either."
Lin Ze was speechless.
"You don't even know yet and you're still asking me?"
"This, how should I put it... Although I don't know what's in it, I swear, it's definitely a good thing, but it's of no use to me, and it's probably hard to sell, so I gave it to the second young master.
, or it may be of some help to you.”
Hearing what Qi Laosan said honestly, Lin Ze was not dissatisfied, but he had some doubts in his heart, "You don't even know what it is, how do you know it is a good thing?"
Qi Laosan had a mysterious look on his face. He looked around and made sure there were no outsiders. Then he leaned into Lin Ze's ear and whispered: "I snatched this from a dead ghost on the fifth level of the God Refining."
"What?" After hearing this, even Lin Ze couldn't help but change his face.
Then after listening to Qi Laosan's detailed explanation, Lin Ze finally knew what was going on.
More than a month ago, Qi Laosan went out to do errands, and on his way back, he accidentally saw two powerful God Refiners fighting. Of course, he did not dare to provoke such powerful people, but driven by curiosity,
But he quietly hid aside and watched, and then he learned from the conversation between the two that they were fighting fiercely over something.
In the end, one of the powerful god-refining men was killed, but the winner was also seriously injured and could only breathe.
Qi Laosan was shrewd but not timid. When he realized that there was no danger, he immediately rushed forward. However, when he could go forward, the powerful god-refining expert with only one breath left was finally dead. Only this small jade bottle was left.
Being held tightly in his hand.
So he took advantage of Qi Laosan, snatched the jade bottle, and came back as if he was running away.
After listening, Lin Ze was also amazed. He didn't know what kind of strength the fifth level of God Refining had, but he had seen the strength of his father, Lin Jingtian, at the sixth level of God Refining. After all, the fifth and sixth levels were indistinguishable.
It would be too far, and wouldn't something that can cause such strong men to fight to the death be a good thing?
"Are you really giving it to me?" Lin Ze looked at Qi Laosan doubtfully.
The latter nodded, of course he also knew that this was a rare treasure, but it was also a hot potato. Firstly, he didn't know what it was used for, and secondly, taking it out might cause trouble, so he could only use it as a collection.
Instead of doing this, it is better to give it to Lin Ze, which can be regarded as a certificate of nomination for myself.
Of course, Lin Ze would not refuse. He took the jade bottle into his hand, but as soon as he touched it, his expression changed slightly, and something strange flashed in his eyes.
"What's wrong? Is something wrong?" Qi Laosan thought something had happened and asked quickly.
"No, it's nothing." Lin Ze shook his head, indicating that it was okay, and then said, "It's inconvenient for me to carry so many elixirs alone. Please help me send them to Lin Dena from Jubaozhai. He will help me.
Sent to the Lin family."
Of course, Qi Laosan would not refuse such a simple thing and agreed repeatedly.
After bidding farewell to Qi Laosan, Lin Zefu walked back to the street not long after, but his face was full of contemplation. When he touched the jade bottle before, the small silver sword in the Dantian in his body suddenly trembled and made a sound.
Jian Ming seemed to be very happy, which puzzled him.
What is it in the jade bottle that attracts even the small silver sword?
Lin Ze was full of curiosity and wished he could return home immediately to take a closer look.
"Hey, isn't this the second young master of the Lin family? Why do you come here to go shopping when you have time? Oh, I almost forgot, you can no longer practice Qi. Oh, you are so pitiful..."
At this moment, a sarcastic voice penetrated into Lin Ze's ears.
Lin Ze looked for the voice and sighed silently.
Alas, I went out so low-key because I just didn’t want to run into such a disgusting guy. Why did I still run into a dog?
