Chapter 300
However, although Jiang Chen had spent so much money, Project Dark Soldier was still only in the preparatory stage.
What he was going to do next would cost him an even greater amount of money.
That was what Jiang Chen was worried about; if he made use of the treasures in his memory, he would probably expose his secret and bring trouble to himself.
Right at that moment, the eight groups of spiritual beings seemed to have recovered.
As soon as he took the book out of the mustardseed ring, it flew into the air by itself and started to shine.
In the dazzling light, Jiang Chen sensed some active awareness in it.
“Azure Demon?” he called.
He gave a hefty slap to her backside, but she just grumbled flirtingly and didn’t get angry at all.
Lin Rong couldn’t help but internally exclaim over the benefits of power as he went to the guy who wanted his panaceas to be sold under the hammer in the hall.
“Eh…”
Lin Rong was regretful. The guy standing before him was quite young compared to most panacea masters, who were usually gray-haired.
He was only twenty-five or twenty-six years old, resolute and steadfast. He had fine features and showed a heroic spirit.
The panaceas the Sacred Wind Chamber of Commerce would agree to sell had to be refined by masters, and no masters would be so young.
Anyway, Lin Rong went up to him and said, “Sir, I’m Lin Rong, steward of the Sacred Wind Chamber of Commerce. How can I help you?”
He told him the same thing Qi Meng had told him. He introduced himself as Master Chu Yun.
“Master?”
Lin Rong couldn’t believe it. The two started to talk about the panaceas.
“It’s called Heaven Pulse Elixir. It can help people develop their extraordinary meridians.”
“Yeah?”
Lin Rong was even more disappointed. Panaceas that claimed to help develop extraordinary meridians were only placebos, for they didn’t have a direct effect. This was just common sense.
“Heaven Pulse Elixir is different from average panaceas. It’s like those panaceas that can help people purify themselves. It can help with the development of extraordinary meridians, seriously. I’ve brought them to you to auction away.”
Lin Rong stopped looking down on him and changed his attitude.
“Could you tell me more details about the ‘help’ they give?”
“The users can develop one extraordinary meridian successfully for each panacea they take,” he said.
“What?!” Lin Rong was shocked, as if he was hearing a story from Arabian Nights.
He calmed down immediately and asked carefully, “You mean users in the Reaching Heaven State?”
The extraordinary meridians of Reaching Heaven States wouldn’t close. They could still be developed, but the development wouldn’t have any effect.
This was probably only a misunderstanding on Lin Rong’s part.
“No, I mean Mental Wander States,” he answered very confidently.
Lin Rong took a deep breath and said, “Master Chu Yun, this way. Let’s go into the room to talk about the details.”
Fifteen minutes later, Lin Rong walked out of the room, both nervous and excited.
If it was true, Heaven Pulse Elixirs could not only be auctioned, but auctioned as the last item, so he went to see the chairman of the chamber of commerce.
After having learned the whole story, the chairman only said, “It’s up to you.”
Lin Rong knew what that meant. If it was false, the Sacred Wind Chamber of Commerce would be accused and someone would have to take responsibility.
If he made the decision, of course it would be him who was responsible, but if it was true, his position in the chamber of commerce would move up.
After struggling, Lin Rong thought he should take the risk, so he invited the alchemist of the chamber of commerce over.
However, since they were breakthrough panaceas, people could barely see anything through the naked eye. They had to find someone to try them, but there were eleven panaceas in all. They couldn’t find anyone to test them on such short notice.
What Master Chu Yun said helped the steward make up his mind.
“I’ll pay you collateral, just in case,” said Master Chu Yun.
