It didn't take long for Lin Yan to arrive at the trading post in Qingyang Town.
Because he was simply buying medicinal herbs, and the herbs he needed weren't high-grade, Lin Yan didn't have to go to special places like the underground trading post.
After arriving at the trading post in Qingyang Town, Lin Yan went straight to one of the larger medicinal shops. After buying all the herbs with the silver he borrowed from Lin Xia, Lin Yan returned home.
He tapped his ring, and the figure of the Medicine Elder soon appeared.
Looking at the Medicine Elder, who had an ethereal aura floating in mid-air, Lin Yan smiled and bowed, saying, "I'll trouble you next, Elder Medicine."
The Medicine Elder didn't mind and just smiled faintly at Lin Yan, agreeing directly, "It's just a small matter, young friend, no need to worry."
The Medicine Elder soon began refining the herbs.
Because it was simply blending medicinal liquid, there was no need for alchemy.
So it was actually quite easy for the Medicine Elder.
As usual, he directly summoned his Bone Spirit Cold Fire and then threw all the purchased herbs into it, using the Bone Spirit Cold Fire to refine them.
After just over an hour, the Medicine Elder finished blending all the medicinal liquid.
Lin Yan bottled it all up one by one, but instead of carefully hiding it like before, he carried it all with him.
"Young friend, what's this for?" the Medicine Elder asked with some confusion, looking surprised.
"After all, the money was borrowed."
"So I still have to find a way to pay it back."
"I plan to sell the batch of medicinal liquid made by Elder Medicine and then ask Elder Medicine to make another batch. Elder Medicine doesn't mind, right?"
Lin Yan replied earnestly to the Medicine Elder.
The Medicine Elder smiled and shook his head.
"Of course not."
Not to mention that blending these herbs was effortless for him.
Just Lin Yan's character alone was quite commendable to him.
As the saying goes, if you borrow something, return it. The Medicine Elder hated nothing more than a deadbeat. So he greatly appreciated Lin Yan's proactive attitude in repaying his debts.
"That's good."
Lin Yan nodded in relief.
Setting off from the Lin family once again, it didn't take long for him to arrive at the trading post in Qingyang Town.
But this time, he didn't go directly to the pharmacy to sell the medicine.
After all, the pharmacy only did small-scale business, and it was fine to buy some basic herbs there.
But the medicinal liquid he was going to sell this time was some rare stuff.
These things would definitely have to be put into the black market to maximize their value.
So Lin Yan quickly headed in the direction of the underground trading post.
Of course, because this time he was going to a rather special place, Lin Yan also deliberately bought a bamboo hat for some disguise before entering the underground trading post.
When everything was ready, Lin Yan entered the underground trading post and stopped in front of a window resembling a modern bank counter.
"Please have a seat. Whatever you need to trade, just place it under the window," a slightly elderly voice soon came out.
Hearing this voice, Lin Yan didn't hesitate and directly took out his medicinal liquids.
"It's a kind of medicinal liquid made from refining spirit herbs and then blending them together. It can help strengthen the physique of those in the body tempering realm and is also remarkably effective for healing injuries," Lin Yan explained promptly.
A withered hand reached out and took one of the bottles of medicinal liquid, and then Lin Yan could hear the sound of liquid dripping, indicating that the other party was testing the efficacy of the medicine.
Lin Yan patiently waited, and after a moment, the elderly voice spoke again.
"This medicinal liquid has the effect of a third-grade spirit herb, with a mild nature. Indeed, it's very suitable for those in the body tempering realm. So, what do you want to exchange it for?"
Lin Yan replied directly, "Just exchange it for money, 600 taels."
He had borrowed 100 taels from Lin Xia previously, so offering 600 taels meant that after selling these medicinal liquids, he would still have a decent amount left. He wouldn't need to borrow again in the future if he needed to purchase more medicine.
The other party generously agreed.
Soon after, Lin Yan exchanged the money and spent another 100 taels to buy a batch of herbs before returning home.
The Medicine Elder took action again, and after a little over an hour, a batch of fresh medicinal liquids appeared in front of Lin Yan.
Looking at this batch of medicinal liquids, Lin Yan couldn't help but smile. "It seems that I won't be short of medicinal liquids in the future."
Currently, he had reached the sixth level of body tempering, only four levels away from the Earth Element Realm. If things went as expected, by the time he finished using these medicinal liquids, he would be able to advance to the Earth Element Realm.
"The day is still early, so let's return the money now."
"Um, let's also bring a little gift, since it's rare for someone to be willing to lend money."
Checking the time, Lin Yan casually took a few bottles of medicinal liquid and headed towards the door.
He quickly found Lin Xia, who was training in the practice field at the moment. After all, the clan meeting was coming up soon, followed by the hunting battle in Qingyang Town. Everyone wanted to improve their strength to perform well in the upcoming events.
"Lin Xia, still training?"
Lin Yan quickly approached with a cheerful greeting.
"Yeah! Unlike someone, I'm not reaching the sixth level of body tempering so quickly," Lin Xia retorted with a playful glare at Lin Yan.
Lin Yan just smiled and handed the money to Lin Xia. "Here, this is the money I borrowed from you."
Lin Xia looked puzzled. "Borrowing money in the morning and returning it in the evening? Are you kidding?"
"You borrowed it for fun?"
Lin Yan shrugged. "What if I told you I've already made several hundred taels with your money?"
Lin Xia rolled her eyes at Lin Yan. "I doubt it!"
Nevertheless, she didn't refuse to take the money. After all, Lin Yan took the initiative to return it, so she took it and that was the end of it.
"Here, this is the interest," Lin Yan said, taking out a few more bottles of medicinal liquid.
With a serious expression, he said to Lin Xia, "Use one bottle at a time. After finishing your training, fill the bathtub with water and add it in. When the water turns green, you can soak in it."
"It's best not to use it consecutively. After using it once, train your body, and when it's about done, wait a few days before using it again."
"And also, don't spread it around. Remember to keep it confidential for me."
Lin Xia originally thought Lin Yan was joking, but seeing how serious he was, she agreed cautiously.
"Okay! Got it. So secretive," Lin Yan said with a smile before quickly leaving.
As for Lin Xia, after some training, she soon returned home.
She had dinner and when it was midnight and she was about to take a bath, she suddenly remembered the medicinal liquid. She couldn't help but mutter to herself.
"Should I give it a try?"
"That Lin Yan is so serious about it, maybe it actually works a bit."
"Anyway, he won't harm me. It's worth a try."
With that in mind, Lin Xia opened the bottle and poured the medicinal liquid into the wáter.
