Transaction

The Trading Market is located in the North Square of Green Sun Town. Many factions are entrenched there, creating a chaotic mix of people and frequent disputes; consequently, no single power has been able to swallow the place whole.

Within the Trading Market, every faction in Green Sun Town holds property and reaps rich rewards, which is why they have reached a tacit agreement to leave this place alone.

Thus, it has become a lawless zone in Green Sun Town. In particular, local bandit groups find it convenient to fence stolen goods and shop here without attracting unwanted attention—why wouldn't they?

Lin Ge wore a black robe, his face obscured by a cold, ghastly ghost mask, leaving only his sharp eyes exposed.

Lin Ge seemed quite familiar with the place. He navigated the area with ease, walked into a shop, and without even glancing at the items on the first floor, headed straight for the third.

The shop assistant was just about to stop him, but upon seeing who it was, he halted his steps, his expression turning respectful.

The third floor contained nothing but a few luxurious private rooms; aside from that, there was nothing else.

"My lord."

As soon as Lin Ge reached the third floor, a graceful, beautiful woman approached, bowed respectfully, and spoke in a charming voice.

"Where is Li Quan?"

Lin Ge glanced at the beauty coldly and asked.

"The shopkeeper has been waiting for you in the Jin-Character Room for quite some time," the beauty replied respectfully.

After hearing the beauty's words, Lin Ge walked quickly toward the last private room on the third floor.

Unlike the other rooms, this one was not luxurious at all; rather, it was quite simple, containing only a table and a few chairs, with nothing else to be seen.

When Lin Ge arrived at the Jin-Character Room, a middle-aged man was sitting in a chair, sipping tea. Seeing Lin Ge appear, he hurriedly stood up and said, "You finally arrived. Come, come, sit down."

He said "sit" three times in a row, showing just how excited Li Quan was to see Lin Ge.

"Those ten bottles of Foundation Building Liquid have all been sold. This time, it totals three thousand Yang Origin Stones."

As Li Quan spoke, he took out a small wooden pouch and placed it in front of Lin Ge.

This was a magical pouch known as a Universe Bag, crafted from Universe Wood. Do not be fooled by its small size; it contains a vast interior, with a space ten zhang wide!

Of course, this was only a Universe Bag with a small interior; those with massive spaces existed as well, though their prices were outrageously high.

Fortunately, Lin Ge and his associates did not require a Universe Bag with massive space; this version was already sufficient.

Lin Ge did not even look at it as he stowed the Universe Bag away. He then retrieved three wooden bottles from another Universe Bag and placed them gently on the table.

Li Quan looked at the three wooden bottles, his eyes brightening as he asked, "What medicine is this?"

Li Quan and Lin Ge had met five years ago by a stroke of fate.

At that time, Lin Ge had moved him with a fragrant, lustrous medicinal pill, leading him to decide to open a shop here. Using that as a starting point, he expanded rapidly until today, when he could say without arrogance that the wealth he possessed was on par with the three major factions of Green Sun Town.

"Blood Coagulation Powder," Lin Ge said in a hoarse voice.

One could tell from the name that it was a healing medicine, but could such a thing really become popular?

"This thing..." Li Quan's brows furrowed slightly. Although he didn't finish his sentence, the meaning behind his words was self-evident.

"You think this thing has no use?"

Lin Ge chuckled, casually pulled out a short blade, and quickly slashed Li Quan's wrist. Then, with incredible speed, he sprinkled the Blood Coagulation Powder onto the wound.

A flash of pain crossed Li Quan's eyes, and just as he was about to cry out, he saw that the wound had already healed—the blood hadn't even had time to flow out!

"Such powerful healing ability!"

Li Quan gasped, his face full of shock. He never imagined that such a tiny amount of powder could possess such formidable healing power.

"This Blood Coagulation Powder is for external use only; it cannot be ingested. No matter how large the wound, I can guarantee it will fully recover within half an hour," Lin Ge said, looking at Li Quan with a hoarse voice.

"Then how many bottles do you have?"

Li Quan stared at the three bottles of Blood Coagulation Powder, his mind racing as he calculated how to sell them to maximize profit.

"This Blood Coagulation Powder is not easy to refine. Just the Pure Origin Stones required cost thirty, not to mention the countless other herbs. Currently, I only have three bottles."

As Lin Ge spoke, he took out a list and handed it to Li Quan, saying, "Try to prepare as much of the items on this list as possible."

Li Quan glanced at it twice, his mouth twitching slightly, before he shouted, "Someone!"

"Shopkeeper."

The charming woman walked into the room and bowed.

Without looking back, Li Quan handed the list to the woman and said, "Within ten days, prepare everything on this list, and in large quantities."

"Yes."

The woman didn't look at the items on the list; she acknowledged the order and retreated.

Having arranged Lin Ge's affairs, Li Quan turned his gaze back to the three bottles of Blood Coagulation Powder.

Three bottles of Blood Coagulation Powder were neither too many nor too few. If sold individually, he could make a profit, but not a massive one, so Li Quan decided to sell them together!

"Three days from now, I will be holding an auction. Will you be attending?"

Li Quan tucked the three bottles of Blood Coagulation Powder into his Universe Bag and asked suddenly.

Lin Ge had no interest in such matters, so he shook his head and refused immediately.

"I knew you would refuse."

Li Quan had clearly anticipated Lin Ge's reaction, and while he felt no disappointment, he did look somewhat helpless.

"Business in Green Sun Town has already reached its limit; you should consider expanding across the entire Great Yan Dynasty."

After a moment of silence, Lin Ge spoke up.

"To the entire Great Yan Dynasty?"

Li Quan had clearly never considered such a thing, and his brows furrowed tightly.

"Before long, I will be leaving Green Sun Town," Lin Ge said again.

"Leaving? And you won't be coming back?"

Lin Ge was his cash cow, and hearing that he wouldn't return made Li Quan feel a sense of anxiety.

Without Lin Ge's miraculous medicinal elixirs, his business would likely plummet.

"If there are no accidents, that should be the case," Lin Ge nodded slightly and said.

"So you want me to expand the business to the entire Great Yan Dynasty?" Although Li Quan lacked talent in cultivation, he was sharp-witted and quickly grasped what Lin Ge was trying to convey.

"Correct. In about three years' time, I will be heading to the imperial capital of the Great Yan Dynasty. By then, I hope we will still have the opportunity to cooperate."

Lin Ge nodded candidly and said.

Lin Ge was clearly very satisfied with his partnership with Li Quan, which was why he couldn't help but suggest expanding the business nationwide.

Faced with this question, Li Quan fell into silence.

Lin Ge also knew this was a difficult choice. After all, Green Sun Town was far too small compared to the entire Great Yan Dynasty; with Li Quan's current financial resources, expanding his business nationwide would be fraught with obstacles.

"Fine, I agree!"

In the end, Li Quan made his decision.
