299: Setting a trap to swindle people

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Heiyu City, one of the largest cities in the Black Cloud Realm, is also where the Ximen Family resides.

Countless powerful cultivators from the Black Cloud Realm gather here.

Yang Lingchen changed his appearance, becoming a gloomy-looking old man, and then arrived at Heiyu City.

His purpose this time was clear: to buy some medicinal ingredients and, while he was at it, set a trap to swindle the Ximen Family.

Yang Lingchen set up a Teleportation Array in a cave outside Heiyu City, and then set up a corresponding Teleportation Array in the Yuelai Inn within Heiyu City.

The Ximen Chamber of Commerce is the largest chamber of commerce in the Black Cloud Realm, with branches spread throughout the entire Black Cloud Realm.

In terms of strength, while the Ximen Family might not be the strongest of the Three Great Powers, when it comes to wealth, the Black Cloud Palace and the Hantian Sect combined might not even compare to the Ximen Family.

Yang Lingchen came to the Ximen Chamber of Commerce and sold some of his supreme grade Medicinal Pills to them.

With Divine Crystals in hand, Yang Lingchen began buying medicinal ingredients in large quantities at the Ximen Chamber of Commerce.

After acquiring a large amount of medicinal ingredients, Yang Lingchen entered a frantic Alchemy mode, refining countless supreme grade True God Pills and illusion god pills.

Yang Lingchen secretly added some ingredients to these supreme grade Medicinal Pills. Anyone who took these Medicinal Pills would experience no abnormalities for seven days, but after seven days, the Medicinal Pills would fully take effect, causing severe diarrhea that would completely flush away the cultivation level that the Medicinal Pills had enhanced.

Two days passed in a flash.

On this day, Yang Lingchen transformed himself into an old man with cold eyes and a steady aura, then came to the Ximen Chamber of Commerce.

"Sir, what do you need?" A woman in a green attendant's uniform walked over enthusiastically.

"Call your chamber of commerce's manager over," Yang Lingchen said with a gloomy look.

"This...! Sir, please wait a moment."

Seeing that Yang Lingchen did not look easy to deal with, the Female Attendant went to inform the chamber of commerce's manager.

Not long after, a well-dressed, portly middle-aged man walked over.

This middle-aged man was Ximen Zi, the manager of the Ximen Chamber of Commerce.

"Elder, how may I help you?"

As the manager of the Ximen Chamber of Commerce, Ximen Zi had good judgment. He could tell that Yang Lingchen was no ordinary person, so his attitude was quite warm.

"What price can your chamber of commerce offer for this Medicinal Pill?" Yang Lingchen took out a supreme grade illusion god pill and handed it to Ximen Zi.

"Su... supreme grade illusion god pill."

Ximen Zi stammered, but he quickly calmed down and respectfully said, "Senior, how many do you have?"

"This old man intends to sell a thousand pills for now. If the price is right, perhaps...!" Yang Lingchen stopped halfway through his sentence.

"Understood, Senior. The market price for a supreme grade illusion god pill is eighty Divine Crystals. Our Ximen Family is willing to offer one hundred Divine Crystals. What do you think?"

Ximen Zi said respectfully. In his opinion, this old man was definitely a Top-grade Alchemist, or had the backing of a Top-grade Alchemist.

"Alright, young man, not bad. One hundred Divine Crystals per pill it is. Here are a thousand supreme grade illusion god pills; have someone inspect them!"

Yang Lingchen patted Ximen Zi's shoulder, acting like he was instructing a Junior, then took out a thousand supreme grade illusion god pills.

"Senior, please come inside."

Ximen Zi excitedly invited Yang Lingchen to the VIP room and personally poured tea for him.

Soon, the Alchemist from the Ximen Chamber of Commerce finished inspecting the goods.

"Senior, here are one hundred thousand Divine Crystals. Please count them." Ximen Zi handed Yang Lingchen a storage ring containing one hundred thousand Divine Crystals.

Yang Lingchen swept his Divine Sense over it, and after confirming that the Divine Crystals were fine, he transferred them into his haotian jade space.

"Not bad, this old man is very satisfied with your Ximen Family's service attitude." Yang Lingchen nodded in satisfaction.

"Senior, if you have more illusion god pills, please don't forget to come back to our Ximen Chamber of Commerce. At that time, this Junior will discuss it with the Family Head and raise the price for you," Ximen Zi quickly said.

"This old man does have another batch of illusion god pills, but I'm afraid your Ximen Chamber of Commerce can't handle it," Yang Lingchen said with a frown.

"How many, Senior?" Ximen Zi's spirits instantly lifted, and he quickly asked.

"This old man still has ten thousand supreme grade illusion god pills. I plan to sell these illusion god pills in the Middle Realm, but if your Ximen Family can handle them, I might consider selling them to you," Yang Lingchen said in a deep voice.

"We... we can handle them, Senior, please rest assured, our Ximen Family can definitely handle them," Ximen Zi immediately became excited and quickly said.

"Are you sure you can handle them?" Yang Lingchen asked.

"Of course, we're sure. As long as Senior gives us three days, we will definitely be able to take on this batch of Medicinal Pills."

Ximen Zi had already planned to Auction off these thousand supreme grade illusion god pills within these three days. Given the quality of these supreme grade illusion god pills, each one could fetch at least three to four hundred Divine Crystals, making a thousand supreme grade illusion god pills worth three to four hundred thousand Divine Crystals.

Coupled with the Ximen Family's own Divine Crystal reserves, they should barely be able to gather over a million Divine Crystals.

Yang Lingchen frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "Seeing your sincerity, this old man will give your Ximen Family some Face. I will return in three days."

"Thank you, Senior." Ximen Zi was so excited he almost jumped.

This was an order for ten thousand supreme grade illusion god pills! Once these ten thousand supreme grade illusion god pills were sold, the Ximen Family's wealth would at least triple, and all of it would be his credit.

Afterward, Yang Lingchen bought another large batch of precious medicinal ingredients from the Ximen Family.

After Yang Lingchen left, Ximen Zi quickly got into a beast carriage and flew towards the Family headquarters. He had to inform the Family Head of such important good news immediately.

Ximen Family.

"Family Head, good news!" Ximen Zi excitedly walked into the Ximen Family residence.

"What is it?" Ximen Tianhao's expression was incredibly gloomy.

After more than half a month of searching, he still hadn't found any trace of Yang Lingchen, which greatly frustrated him.

"Family Head, look, what is this?" Ximen Zi quickly handed the newly acquired supreme grade illusion god pill to Ximen Tianhao.

"supreme grade illusion god pill!" Ximen Tianhao's eyes showed shock, and then he excitedly asked, "Where did this come from?"

"Today, a mysterious old Senior came to our chamber of commerce, and he immediately sold us a thousand supreme grade illusion god pills."

Ximen Zi then recounted everything about buying Medicinal Pills from that old man today.

"Were these Medicinal Pills inspected?" Ximen Tianhao asked with a frown.

"They were inspected. Elder Song personally checked them, and I even ate one on the spot; the effect was excellent," Ximen Zi said.

"Very good, you've rendered a great service this time. Now, quickly arrange an Auction to sell these thousand supreme grade illusion god pills as soon as possible," Ximen Tianhao ordered.

"Yes, Family Head," Ximen Zi respectfully replied.

"Furthermore, in three days, I will personally go with you to meet that Senior. We must entertain him well; this could be a great opportunity for our Ximen Family to soar," Ximen Tianhao said.

"Family Head, I believe this Senior is definitely a Top-grade Alchemist. If we build a good relationship with him, we might even be able to obtain heavenly god pills in the future!" Ximen Zi said excitedly... Yang Lingchen quietly returned to Yuelai Inn, then slipped into the haotian jade space and resumed Alchemy.
