C33 – A Profession That People Yearn for
The black market in White Light Town only opened at midnight. By that time, Wang Shan and his companions had finished their meal and were strolling into the black market, enjoying the cool night breeze. The black market was vastly different from the regular market; items that were unavailable in the latter could often be found here. However, the catch was that these items came with a hefty price tag. Only those from prestigious families or wealthy conglomerates could afford to shop here.
Wang Shan had the audacity to venture into the black market, thanks to the considerable wealth he had amassed. He had won a substantial sum of prize money from two competitions in his hometown, and with the additional funds from the Zhang family’s bank, it wasn’t an overstatement to call him a Little God of Fortune.
Before entering the black market, the staff required them to present their ID cards. “Reaching the ninth level of the Nine-level Tower at just fifteen is impressive,” they remarked. “The tower is known to reveal a cultivator’s future potential. Young man, you have a boundless future ahead of you and are destined to stand out in this continent.”
The gatekeeper of the black market was merely a One-star Cultivator. His Cultivation Talent was modest; he had spent his life as a One-star Cultivator and thus took up a job as a guard in the black market. Nonetheless, this amiable elderly man made a lasting impression on Wang Shan. The serene composure of someone who had seen through life’s illusions was something Wang Shan aspired to, but his youthful impetuosity made it difficult for him to attain such a mindset for the time being.
Upon entering the black market with the five girls, Wang Shan quickly realized it was indeed a treasure trove. Every town had a black market brimming with an overwhelming array of items and countless exotic treasures that dazzled the onlookers.
Yet, the cost of these items was astronomical. A Great Replenishing Pill, for instance, was priced at a million and was snatched up within seconds of being offered. The faces of those who missed out on the purchase were etched with profound distress. Onlookers mentioned that the Great Replenishing Pill was no ordinary pill, underscoring its high value and the intense competition to acquire such rarities.
It was crafted by none other than the Pill King!
The pills created by the Pill King were not only meticulously refined and pure but also came with additional benefits.
Take the Great Replenishing Pill, for instance. It could do more than just enable a Two-star Cultivator to advance to a Three-star level; it could also enhance the cultivator’s innate attributes, fully unlocking their potential.
In contrast, ordinary Pill Refining Masters couldn’t produce pills with such extra effects.
For example, the Great Replenishing Pill that Wang Shan had given to Wang Tianxia was the work of a regular Pill Refining Master, which, beyond assisting Two-star Cultivators in overcoming their limits, offered no additional benefits.
It was only then that Wang Shan realized how in-demand the Pill King profession was.
A single Great Replenishing Pill could fetch a million. This meant that he didn’t have to lift a finger all year; just casually crafting one pill a day could sustain him.
Wang Shan was someone who had a fondness for wealth.
He hadn’t known much about the Pill Refining Master profession before, so it hadn’t caught his interest.
But now, understanding the lucrative nature of the Pill King’s work, he found himself deeply aspiring to master the craft.
“Don’t be disheartened, folks. The pills refined by the Pill King also have…”
The vendor unveiled a large wooden box, and upon opening it, sixty pills of varying sizes were revealed.
The onlookers’ excitement quickly faded to disappointment, and they dispersed before the vendor could even set a price.
The reason was that the box contained useless pills, all failures from the Pill King’s attempts.
Though these pills were the work of the Pill King, they were ineffective, and purchasing them would be a regrettable mistake.
However, upon seeing these useless pills, Wang Shan’s eyes sparkled with a daring new plan!
