Chapter 123: I’m Serious About Earning Essence!
The next morning, Lin Xuan arrived at the market early in the morning. He casually found a stall and sat down, laying out a cloth.
Then, he marked the prices of the various potions refined on the medicinal table.
What was placed on the cloth was not the real potion, but the projection of the potion. The real thing was still in Lin Xuan’s storage compartment.
This was also a convenience brought by the global digitization.
In this way, as long as he placed the projection of the item at the place where it was sold, he would not have to guard here at all times and could go out to train and explore.
On the other hand, the buyer could see the detailed information of the item from the item projection. If they felt that the price was suitable, they could leave a message here and the two parties would arrange a time to trade.
This was very convenient for both parties.
Lin Xuan only had a few potions.
Lightning Damage Potion.
Magic Resistance Potion.
Basic Strength Potion.
Basic Spirit Potion.
The Life Potion and the Big Life Potion.
Its grade was rare blue and precious purple.
Depending on the grade and type, the price varied from 100 essence to 1,000 essence.
The prices were all the results of Lin Xuan’s market research yesterday. Other than the Life Potion and the Big Life Potion, the prices of the other potions were slightly lower than the average price of Colony Three.
As for the Life Potion and the Big Life Potion, Lin Xuan’s prices were very low. It was not that he had deliberately lowered the prices. Instead, it was because Mu Yang’s prices were just too high, making his prices seem low in comparison.
Under the full work of the three medicinal tables, Lin Xuan had more than 1,000 bottles of each potion. However, he did not really reveal that he had 1,000 bottles. Instead, he set an upper limit of 50 bottles and urged his customers to buy quickly.
After all, 1,000 bottles was indeed a little ridiculous.
Then, Lin Xuan placed a projection of a few other items beside him.
Warm fruit pulp, 10 essence.
Life Mushroom, 30 essence 1.
Lightning Withered Tree, 35 essence.
These were all the materials needed to refine various potions. There was no upper limit and Lin Xuan would buy as much as the other party had.
It was not that he lacked these things, but because he had to seem like he needed the materials.
Otherwise, others would think that he was very strange.
After all, others would be suspicious if he kept churning out potions without ever buying any materials.
If others asked, how was he supposed to explain the source of the materials?
After doing this, Lin Xuan finally wrote a time and said that he would appear at the stall at 5 PM to discuss the transaction with all the customers. Only then did he leave in satisfaction.
“I’m serious about earning essence!”
Essence was definitely a basic necessity that Seventh Realm martial artists needed the most.
It was the currency of martial artists above the Seventh Realm. It was also an important item for martial artists to increase their cultivation, skills, and rune levels.
If he could earn a lot of essence through potions, Lin Xuan’s leveling speed would increase. At the same time, he could also increase his skills.
Many of his skills had stopped at level one Seventh Realm and had not advanced much.
Some of the uncommon skills were even at the Sixth Realm.
Since he wanted to become stronger, his skill level had to keep up with his cultivation.
After Lin Xuan left, the market area gradually became lively.
Soon, some martial artists discovered that there was actually an additional stall selling potions in the market area.
“A new potion maker has arrived at Colony Three?”
“Not bad. Thunder Wound Potion and Magic Resistance Potion. This new potion maker seems to know all kinds of potions. Moreover, the price is lower than the average price.”
“Eh, why are there also Life Potions and Big Life Potions? Moreover, the prices are so low!”
The martial artists passing by suddenly stopped and stared at the red potion bottle with raised eyebrows.
Mages lacked magic power potions the most, but they also needed a few bottles of life potions in case of emergencies.
As for armored soldiers, warriors, and assassins, they needed these potions even more. After all, they needed to charge at the front line and their health points would easily decrease. Without the Life Potion, they would be easily killed.
Therefore, no matter where and no matter which organization it was, the Life Potion was always the fastest to be consumed and was also the most in demand.
In addition, the pressure on their survival was too great. Many people were unwilling to change their profession to potion maker, forger, rune forger, and other life-skill professions, which led to the scarcity of potions.
“Looks like this newcomer doesn’t know how powerful Mu Yang is. He actually dares to compete with a Great Potion Master?”
A tall and thin martial artist only glanced at the Life Potion and laughed without looking carefully.
“That’s right. The effect of the Life Potion made by Mu Yang is too good. It even made the other potion makers directly give up on competing.”
Many martial artists echoed.
“However… Mu Yang’s Life Potion also has a weakness. It’s just too expensive…” A martial artist shook his head helplessly.
A female martial artist carefully checked the potion projection and suddenly exclaimed, “Look, the lowest grade of the Life Potion he placed here is blue grade. Moreover, the price is also one-fifth lower than Mu Yang’s.”
The other martial artists were stunned and also leaned over to take a look.
When they saw the detailed effect of the potion, they were even more shocked.
They were both rare blue grade potions, but the effect of the Life Potion made by this new potion maker was actually better than the Life Potion made by Mu Yang!
The effect was good and it was even cheaper!
They were shocked!
“That’s impossible. Mu Yang is a Great Potion Master. How can this person compare to Mu Yang?”
“Could he be selling the best potions he had refined?”
“That’s also possible, but can he earn money like this?”
The martial artists discussed with dumbfounded expressions.
Some people did not believe it and took out a bottle of Life Potion from the storage compartment to compare.
“That’s true. The effect of the Life Potion sold by this potion maker is about one-fifth better than the one sold by Mu Yang.”
The others also took it out to compare and nodded repeatedly.
The effect was one-fifth better.
However, the price was almost one-third cheaper.
Then what was there to think about? They naturally had to buy it!
“I can’t be bothered with this newbie potion maker. It’s a waste not to buy it! I’ll buy ten bottles first!”
A burly martial artist walked over and immediately left a message.
With the first person taking the lead, the others also picked up their pens and left messages.
In less than half an hour, 50 bottles of Life Potion and 50 bottles of Big Life Potion were sold out.
Many people even left messages saying that they wanted to buy tomorrow’s Life Potion in advance.
“Speaking of which, these Thunder Wound Potions and Magic Resistance Potions seem to be quite good. They are divided into two grades, rare blue and precious purple. The effects are also better than those refined by other potion makers and are also cheaper.”
The burly martial artist saw the other potions and touched his head in surprise.
“Enough nonsense. I’ll buy it!”
The martial artists immediately followed and quickly bought all the potions.
Just like the Life Potion, there were also many pre-ordered messages under the other potions.
“Do you think this new potion maker can really take out so many high grade and cheap potions? We won’t be fooled, right?” the female martial artist said worriedly.
The thin and tall martial artist beside him laughed strangely. “Don’t worry about that. If he can’t take it out, we’ll directly look for Old Wu. This guy will directly deduct 3,000 battle merits from his account and he will also be expelled from the Little Spirit Mountain. He won’t be allowed to enter for the next two years.”
After all the potions were ordered, the martial artists slowly dispersed.
However, there were still many martial artists who passed by. After discovering the shocking effect and low price of these potions, they were rather shocked.
However, when they discovered that all 50 bottles of potions had been ordered in advance, they pounded their chest and stomped their feet again.
After a while, Silver Fox, who was wandering around the market area, also arrived. When he saw the potions here, he was shocked.
If nothing unexpected happened, these potions should be made by Shield Ghost.
When he saw the grade and effect of these potions, he was even more shocked.
“It’s true that Shield Ghost’s potions are of peerless golden grade, but can he really make so many potions?”
Silver Fox scratched his head. It had only been a day since Shield Ghost told him that he planned to earn money by selling potions.
However, there were a total of 300 bottles of potions here. How could Shield Ghost take out so many potions?!
Silver Fox felt a little worried and decided to wait here.
He was worried that Shield Ghost would not be able to take out enough potions and would be targeted or even attacked by these martial artists.
If that was the case, it would be impossible for Shield Ghost to survive without help.
Time passed quickly, and soon, it was five in the afternoon.
Martial artists that had ordered the potions all gathered here.
“Where’s the potion maker? Why isn’t he here yet?”
“Could he be scared of returning?”
“Damn, could it be that he was messing with us? I would be so angry.”
At this moment, Lin Xuan passed through the crowd and walked in.
“Sorry for the long wait.” Lin Xuan stood in front of the stall and looked around with a smile.
“Eh, it’s you? I remember that you were the one who activated the Lightning Tower last time and saved many people.”
“I remember too. It’s this guy with the code name Shield. My brother is a member of the Construction Division and was almost shattered by the ghost’s self-destruction. Fortunately, the Lightning Tower finished charging in advance and he was able to survive.”
“Don’t you have a big shield? Why do you know how to make potions?”
The martial artists looked at him in surprise.
It had only been a few days since the last ghost attack. Almost all the martial artists guarding the east wall that night knew about “Shield”.
Lin Xuan smiled. “I have to earn some essence. This is my side profession.”
The burly martial artist was impatient and shouted, “Stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and take out the potions. Don’t tell us that you don’t have enough potions.”
Lin Xuan compared it to the message book. “Feng Zhuang?”
“Yes, I ordered ten bottles of blue grade Big Life Potion.”
Lin Xuan nodded and took out a potion from the storage compartment. “Take them.”
Feng Zhuang carefully looked at the effect of every bottle of the Big Life Potion. It was no different from the medicinal projection he had seen previously. He immediately nodded in satisfaction and traded the essence over. “You’re not bad as a newcomer!”
After paying, he quickly left.
Seeing this, the other martial artists immediately rushed over. “I was the second to leave a message. I ordered three bottles of purple grade Life Potion and three bottles of blue grade Life Potion.”
“I was the third to leave a message. I ordered a bottle of purple Big Life Potion and a bottle of purple Lightning Wound Potion.”
“I…”
Lin Xuan smiled from ear to ear. He received the money with one hand and handed it over with the other. “Everyone, don’t be anxious. Everyone will get what they ordered.”
Soon, the 300 bottles of potions were sold out.
Lin Xuan counted and discovered that he had earned nearly 80,000 essence in one go.
This was naturally far inferior to the gains of his training avatar, but it was still very good.
Moreover, only 50 bottles of each potion were sold today. After increasing the number of potions the next time, the income should be even greater.
“Shield, I wrote in the message book that I’ve reserved 20 bottles of blue grade Life Potions. Can you deliver them in two days?”
“Hey, hey, hey, I also reserved 15 bottles of blue grade Big Life Potion. Can you deliver them in three days?”
“I need ten bottles of purple grade Thunder Wound Potion. They have to be delivered in a day. I’m willing to increase the price by 30%.”
The martial artists obtained their respective potions but did not leave. Instead, they reminded Lin Xuan that they had reserved more potions.
Lin Xuan swept his gaze over and nodded slightly.
Lin Xuan smiled and said, “You guys ordered quite a lot. However, I might not be able to make all of them. Moreover, I don’t have many materials left.”
Of course, he could make them. However, if he made so many potions at once, it would attract the attention of others. Therefore, he did not want to be too high-profile.
“That’s simple. Our team has accumulated a lot of Life Mushrooms! I also know a place that often produces Life Mushrooms. I’ll bring them to you tomorrow morning. I can bring you at least 100. How about 8 AM?” Feng Zhuang patted his firm chest, indicating that he would take care of this matter.
The other martial artists also stepped forward and expressed that they could also bring some materials. They also hoped that Shield Ghost would give them a discount on account of this.
Lin Xuan nodded repeatedly.
He would buy raw materials at a low price and make potions through the medicinal table before selling them at a high price.
It was a perfect cycle.
Moreover, he did not need to do anything himself.
