Chapter 269: The Opening of the Bazaar, Visits from the Major Factions
"Here! Take these two Xuan Shui Pills, Senior Dugu Bo. This time, I really appreciate your help, along with Yan Yan, for answering the questions and claiming the rewards."
Lin Yu took out two Xuan Shui Pills, neatly packed in small jade bottles, and handed them to Dugu Bo with a smile.
In fact, these words came sincerely from Lin Yu's heart.
Although Lin Yu knew that his answer was correct, Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan did not know that. They sincerely believed in him, which is why they followed his lead and answered the questions. If they had answered incorrectly, whether it was the loss of soul power or soul rings, it would have been quite an unpleasant experience.
Dugu Bo naturally hesitated for a moment before reluctantly accepting the jade bottles containing the Xuan Shui Pills.
"Following Young Master Lin Yu is indeed much better than following that hypocritical Tang San in the live stream!"
As Dugu Bo put away the Xuan Shui Pills, he couldn't help but think to himself.
In the live stream, Tang San clearly knew about all the medicinal herbs near his Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, even the names and uses of some rare immortal herbs.
If their relationship had remained the same as it was at the beginning, that would be one thing.
But later, despite Dugu Bo helping Tang San on numerous occasions, Tang San still didn't give him a single immortal herb, and in the end, he didn't even teach him the method to resolve the poisonous toxins from the Bingfeng Poison in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye.
Whether it was because of his hypocrisy and stinginess, or because he held a grudge over the time Dugu Bo forcibly abducted him, there was no doubt that Tang San was not a good person to follow.
In contrast, Lin Yu was much better.
Not only did Lin Yu give him and his granddaughter Dugu Yan immortal herbs, but now he was even sharing two Xuan Shui Pills with him. This was a much more generous master!
"Young Master, could you show us the first-place reward, the Moon Elder's Red Thread?"
After receiving the two Xuan Shui Pills, Dugu Bo turned to Lin Yu with a slightly mischievous expression, his face filled with curiosity.
"Sure."
Lin Yu didn't refuse. With a slight motion in his mind, he took out the three Moon Elder's Red Threads, the first-place reward.
In an instant, with a flash of red light, three thin red threads, each about a foot long, appeared in Lin Yu's hands. They looked like ordinary red threads, but they emanated a faint red glow throughout.
"So this is the Moon Elder's Red Thread, the one that can interfere with fate and force a bond of marriage between two people? It really does look quite extraordinary!"
After Lin Yu took out the Moon Elder's Red Thread, Dugu Bo couldn't help but be amazed.
However, it was a pity that Lin Yu only had three Moon Elder's Red Threads, or else Dugu Bo would have certainly asked for one.
Of course, this wasn't because Dugu Bo wanted to play matchmaker for himself, but rather because he wanted to help Lin Yu and his granddaughter Dugu Yan tie their fate together.
After spending more than half a year with Lin Yu, Dugu Bo was extremely satisfied with Lin Yu's wisdom and strength. On top of that, Lin Yu also possessed the Netherworld White Lotus martial soul, which could cure the Bingfeng Poison.
In Dugu Bo's view, only by matching Lin Yu with his granddaughter could he ensure that the Bi Lin family wouldn't end up being abandoned by Lin Yu like how Tang San abandoned them in the live stream.
But it wasn't that Dugu Bo didn't trust Lin Yu.
It was simply because of what had happened to the Bi Lin family in the live stream, being abandoned by Tang San in his quest to obtain the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, that made Dugu Bo feel a sense of crisis.
In Dugu Bo's mind, it was better to rely on oneself than to rely on others.
Of course, Dugu Bo's reliance wasn't really about relying on himself but rather ensuring Lin Yu and Dugu Yan's relationship, so that Lin Yu would become a close ally of his family.
This way, even if their descendants didn't inherit the Netherworld White Lotus martial soul, or if they did inherit both the Bi Lin Snake and the Netherworld White Lotus martial soul, it would be even better in Dugu Bo's eyes!
...
One month quickly passed since the 26th live stream ended.
During this month, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Tiandou Imperial Family, Five Elements Academy, and other factions sent representatives to visit Lin Yu, hoping to learn more about the pills he was about to sell.
If the visitors simply inquired about the pills, Lin Yu naturally smiled and shared the information.
However, when asked about the price of the pills and whether they could buy them in advance, Lin Yu could only apologize.
Because, regarding the pricing of the three pills he intended to sell, Lin Yu wasn't sure if his pricing was appropriate yet.
After all, the price of any item ultimately depends on supply and demand. However, these pills hadn't been seen on the Douluo Continent before.
Lin Yu had only based the prices of the three pills on the price of Xuan Shui Pills in the future, in the period of the Peerless Tang Sect.
The reason why he chose to hold the pill conference a month later, selling the pills in the market outside Tiandou Imperial City, was ultimately because he wanted to take advantage of the large number of people and the limited supply, so that the factions would compete for the pills and he could make a significant profit!
After all, Lin Yu needed money to build the future sect of his forces, and the more he could make, the better.
Therefore, for now, Lin Yu couldn't reveal too much and decided to keep things mysterious.
This way, the factions would be uncertain and would have to bring more Gold Soul Coins to the auction, ultimately benefiting Lin Yu!
As the day of the pill conference arrived, Lin Yu had the market outside Tiandou Imperial City cleaned up a day before and stationed his people inside.
The market was originally intended to be a place for trade, but since he expected many people would come to buy pills, it was more appropriate to use it for this purpose.
On the day of the conference, Lin Yu, along with Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, arrived early at the market. At this point, many representatives from different factions had already arrived.
Some of them were familiar faces to Lin Yu.
Like Ju Douluo Yueguan, Gui Douluo Guimei, Ning Fengzhi from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Jian Douluo Chen Xin, Ning Rongrong, Snow Star Prince, Qian Renxue's representative Xue Qinghe, Meng Shenji, and more.
When they saw Lin Yu, the representatives waiting outside the market greeted him warmly.
"Young Master Lin Yu is here!"
"Young Master Lin Yu, when will the pill conference start? We can't wait!"
"Yes, yes!"
...
"Everyone, don't worry. I'll enter the market now and have everything ready. You can come in afterward, and the pill conference will officially begin!"
Facing the impatience of the factions, Lin Yu smiled and responded.
With that, he led his people into the market.
