Free Web NovelChapter 1404: Chapter 464: The Treasure of Huangquan City
Longevity, let’s start with the lifespan of the Human Clan.
Ye Lingyue knew from the Qing Province Continent that ordinary people lived for sixty or seventy years, while Innate Martial Artists lived up to a hundred.
But after arriving at the Ancient Nine Provinces Continent, people’s cultivation improved, and so did their lifespans.
For instance, Martial Artists who reached the Reincarnation Realm could live up to a hundred and fifty years, while those at the Divine Power Realm could live to the heavenly limit of two hundred years. With elixir pills, some could reach an age limit of two hundred and fifty.
However, this only applied to a small portion of people. In the Ancient Nine Provinces, there were still many ordinary residents with only Postnatal or even just Body Refinement cultivation, and those who reached the Divine Power Realm were rare, not to mention the elixir pills for increasing lifespan, which were mostly harmful to the body.
They could affect cultivation or cause it to hit a bottleneck, leading to decline rather than progress. So far, across the entire Ancient Nine Provinces Continent, there hasn’t been a longevity medicine in the true sense.
The appearance of Huangquan Water could undoubtedly fill this gap.
Long-term consumption of Rainbow River water can significantly increase lifespan without any side effects, and it’s inexhaustible. All Ye Lingyue had to do was quietly transport the Hong Meng Heaven’s water out, and then sell it.
This is the time for Huangquan City to gain prestige.
After Ye Lingyue made her decision, she immediately took action.
Selling Huangquan Water was not something accomplished overnight; Ye Lingyue started with two things.
The first thing was to send a bottle of Huangquan Water to several friendly City Lords.
The second thing was to start selling Huangquan Water in Xuanwu City.
When news spread that Ye Lingyue wanted to sell the water and attract new immigrants for Huangquan City using water priced at ten thousand Spirit Stones, members of the Huangquan Team thought Ye Lingyue had gone crazy.
Of course, some said this openly while others whispered it to themselves.
"Boss Ye, are you kidding? Is this broken water worth ten thousand Spirit Stones?"
Situ and Lan Feng were also recruited by Ye Lingyue like laborers to help package the water.
Looking at the colorful Huangquan Water with its rainbow-like glow, both felt that the water seemed mysterious, but they couldn’t believe it was worth ten thousand Spirit Stones.
Ten thousand Intermediate Spirit Stones was no small number, even in the high-priced Xuanwu City.
Faced with everyone’s skepticism, Ye Lingyue simply smiled without speaking, waiting for them to discover Huangquan Water’s effects and for the truth to come to light.
Meanwhile, Guangzi was eyeing the water from the side, and with a sly smile, he deftly grabbed a bottle and tossed it to Qin Xiaochuan with a comment that nearly scared Qin Xiaochuan to death.
"Big Fool, you pay for the Spirit Stones."
Ye Lingyue snatched the Huangquan Water from Guangzi’s hand and said irritably.
"Guangzi, stop bullying the honest folk. Didn’t you already take all the Spirit Stones from Fourth Brother? But seeing as you helped Little Zhiyo with his tongue last time, you can have this bottle." Ye Lingyue then tossed the Huangquan Water back to Guangzi.
Speaking of which, ever since poor Little Zhiyo inherited the Emperor Gui Tie’s legacy, he could only consume Devil Souls for a long time.
Somehow or other, Guangzi found out about this.
One day, he took advantage of Ye Lingyue’s momentary distraction, tricked Little Zhiyo over, and stuck a few needles in its tongue.
As a result, Little Zhiyo’s tongue swelled for several days, nearly making him cry to death. But since then, Little Zhiyo did recover some taste, although he could only eat Vermilion Fruit without vomiting.
For this reason, Little Zhiyo and Guangzi became "Vermilion Fruit eating" companions.
This also made Ye Lingyue realize that Guangzi’s medical skills surpassed hers in certain aspects.
With a grin, Guangzi accepted the Huangquan Water.
Guangzi wasn’t like Situ or Lan Feng; after eating Vermilion Fruit from the Hong Meng Heaven, he realized that his Sister Ye had many treasures.
Though the name Huangquan Water sounded like poison, its color was the purest Five Spirits Qi. Guangzi, knowing the value, drank it in one gulp.
Upon drinking, his beautiful eyebrows rose several inches, and fine sweat exuded from his body, adding even more shine to his already refined skin.
Ye Lingguang was a Divine Body, and the Spiritual Energy in the Divine Realm was far purer than that of the Ancient Nine Provinces. After arriving here, he inevitably suffered from the influence of the muddied energy.
But after drinking Ye Lingyue’s bottle of Huangquan Water, he felt all the muddied energy inside him dissipate, leaving him refreshed and clear-headed, much like being in the Divine Realm.
"Good stuff, this definitely is worth ten thousand Spirit Stones."
Yet, Guangzi’s words were dismissed by others. Out of respect for Ye Lingyue, they let her lead them to the busiest street in Xuanwu City to sell Huangquan Water.
As soon as the stall was set up, some people inquired but turned away upon hearing the price of ten thousand Spirit Stones.
It wasn’t until noon that everyone was waiting with desperate longing, and Situ and others grew impatient.
"Boss, just stop meddling, no one’s going to buy this stuff."
As they spoke, a voice of surprise was heard.
"Divine Doctor, what a coincidence! I’ve finally found you."
A vibrant middle-aged man strode over, followed by his family.
This man, who looked fitter and more energized than before, was Jia Fugui, who drank Ye Lingyue’s Huangquan Water yesterday.
After returning home last night, Jia Fugui felt full of vigor, as if he was suddenly ten years younger, and slept soundly.
Convinced it was the Divine Doctor’s water at work, he rushed over when he heard someone was selling Huangquan Water for ten thousand Spirit Stones a bottle, bringing his whole family with him.
"These are all Huangquan Water, I’ll buy thirty bottles."
With a wave of his hand, Jia Fugui bought thirty bottles of Huangquan Water, and if he had enough Spirit Stones, he might have bought all one hundred bottles filled by Ye Lingyue.
Thirty bottles, a whopping three hundred thousand Spirit Stones, were pocketed in the blink of an eye.
"Someone actually bought it, maybe it was a blind cat hitting a dead rat."
Situ and Lan Feng stared in disbelief as Jia Fugui appeared to have found a treasure.
Even those passing by stopped to point at the Huangquan Water bottles.
At that moment, someone sharp-eyed exclaimed to the jubilant and treasure-hunting Jia Fugui.
"Hey, isn’t that Jia Fugui from the ’Jia Tianxia’ Merchant Guild? That notorious swindler, tricking both the old and the young. If he bought it, it must be something good."
