Free Web NovelChapter 1413: Chapter 473: Instant Fame in Huangquan City
"In my opinion, the price of thirty thousand spirit stones is indeed inappropriate. This bottle of Huangquan Water should be priced at one hundred thousand spirit stones."
"That’s what I’m saying, how could thirty thousand spirit stones be appropriate, it’s completely... What, a hundred thousand spirit stones!"
The Nine Rank Alchemist from the City Lord’s Mansion almost bit off his tongue, his mouth agape in disbelief.
A bottle of Huangquan Water for one hundred thousand spirit stones!
If anyone else had said this, the people present would definitely laugh their heads off.
But since it was Hall Master Fu from the Jiu Provinces Hall who said it, the meaning was quite different.
If Hall Master Fu says it’s worth it, then it certainly is.
"Looking at your expressions, you don’t seem to believe what this old man is saying. Ha, do you think this Huangquan Water is just any ordinary thing? It doesn’t contain any elixir components, because it’s originally a natural substance, a rare Five Spirits Object in the entire Ancient Nine Provinces. But it’s pointless talking to you common folks who don’t know what a Five Spirits Object is. To put it simply, using this Huangquan Water for alchemy can strengthen the body and prolong life below the Reincarnation Realm. For Martial Artists above the Divine Power Realm, it can enhance Divine Power and increase the likelihood of comprehending Divine Power Skills."
Whether in the Ancient Nine Provinces or on the Qing Province Continent, any kind of heavenly treasure, like the Red Sun Ginseng or Ice Lemon Grass first encountered by Ye Lingyue, has a specific attribute.
General spiritual materials only possess a single attribute, such as fire or water attribute.
If spiritual materials have more than two attributes simultaneously, their value doubles.
And like the Huangquan Water that Ye Lingyue has, which contains all five attributes equally, that’s a Five Spirits Object.
The rarity of Five Spirits Objects is akin to the rare chance of an alchemist possessing a Five Spirits Cauldron, extremely low.
With Hall Master Fu’s explanation, even a fool could understand.
However, Hall Master Fu didn’t know that Five Spirits Objects aren’t just beneficial to people or beasts, they can even be consumed by the Divine Race to purify the Evil Qi within their bodies.
So the Huangquan Water is actually a Five Spirits Object.
Such a good thing, with a market but no value, and three thousand spirit stones is genuinely not high.
Yet the City Lord’s Mansion claimed that Ye Lingyue was deceiving people.
Well, now they’ve been proven wrong, no, it’s not just being proved wrong; it’s like a slap in the face, loudly and clearly.
Indeed, City Lord Ma’s face turned green.
Under the condemning gazes of everyone, the noble head of City Lord Ma had to lower.
Moreover, upon hearing that the Huangquan Water could increase the chance of comprehending Divine Power Skills, City Lord Ma became restless.
He even considered, maybe he could use his position as City Lord to have Ye Lingyue provide some Huangquan Water for free.
"City Lord Ye, I apologize. This matter was investigated improperly by Ma. It was a misunderstanding with City Lord Ye. In future, Huangquan Water can be sold normally in Xuanwu City."
City Lord Ma’s skin was truly thicker than the city walls of Xuanwu City. Just moments ago, he was full of reprimand, but the next moment he wore a kind face, ready to win over Ye Lingyue.
Unfortunately, Ye Lingyue wasn’t easy to deal with either.
"No need to apologize. Since City Lord Ma and Hall Master Fu are both present, I happen to have something to announce. From today onwards, Huangquan Water will no longer be sold in Xuanwu City."
With Ye Lingyue’s words, City Lord Ma’s face turned ashen green.
But Ye Lingyue continued.
"Everyone, please don’t misunderstand. Not only will Huangquan Water not be sold in Xuanwu City, it will not be sold in any other city henceforth. As a specialty of Huangquan City, Huangquan Water will only be enjoyed for free in Huangquan City."
Free?!
The spectators nearby were all stunned.
Even more shocking news was yet to come.
This Huangquan City Lord wouldn’t be stupid enough, right? How could he offer Huangquan Water, priced at thirty thousand spirit stones per bottle, for free?
Ye Lingyue cleared her throat.
"However, there’s a premise for this free offer. Only local residents of Huangquan City can enjoy it. Of course, Huangquan City also welcomes new immigrants. New immigrants must live for one year before they can enjoy the benefits of Huangquan Water." As soon as Ye Lingyue finished speaking, the crowd that was watching scattered in an instant.
The speed was truly astonishing.
As long as one relocates to Huangquan City, they can enjoy Huangquan Water for free, and it only takes a year. With everyone able to drink Huangquan Water, suitable for all ages, who would miss such a huge discount?
In an instant, countless people shared the same thought: immigrate to Huangquan City.
After all, on the Ancient Nine Provinces Continent, except during the novice period, formal Demon Hunters and native residents could move freely.
So this young girl planned it this way.
Hall Master Fu finally understood. This plain-looking young City Lord was cunning like a fox.
Tsk tsk, he also recalled that recently, there were calls within the Jiu Provinces Alliance to abolish the bottom three ranked cities, among which Huangquan City was listed.
"Old Man Fu, how about we also move to Huangquan City? Miss Yue is the city lord there. With her around, there’ll be someone to chat with this old woman."
Old Madam Fu tugged at Hall Master Fu’s sleeve.
"Wife, didn’t you say you’d stay in your hometown? And if I leave, what about the affairs of the Jiu Provinces Pavilion?"
Old Man Fu wiped cold sweat, unsure what liquid courage Ye Lingyue had given his wife.
"Then move the Jiu Provinces Pavilion along. With Miss Yue there, in no time, Huangquan City will surpass Xuanwu City."
Old Madam Fu puffed out her cheeks, and these words made City Lord Ma feel utterly frustrated.
"City Lord Ye, what a fine strategy, goodbye!"
City Lord Ma finally understood that in this whole deception, both he and Hall Master Chen had been used by Ye Lingyue.
He swung his sleeves, ignoring the dumbfounded Hong Yulang nearby, and left in anger.
"Wife, let’s go; there are still many matters awaiting me at the Pavilion."
Thinking of being outwitted by a young girl old enough to be his great-granddaughter, Hall Master Fu pulled his wife to leave, feeling disgruntled.
"Old Man Fu, don’t pretend to be daft. I said I want to move to Huangquan City. If you don’t agree, I’ll move to Wuling City."
Old Madam Fu was dissatisfied.
"You cannot! What’s so good about that lousy place, Wuling City?"
At the mention of Wuling City, Hall Master Fu’s eyes bulged, annoyed.
"Wuling City has beautiful mountains, waters, and people, far better than Xuanwu City. If I had known, I should have chosen back then..."
Old Madam Fu murmured.
"Wuling City is too far, and you’ll get sick of the water and soil there, wife. I’m doing all this for your own good."
Hall Master Fu coaxed and pleaded, dragging Old Madam Fu away.
Old Madam Fu wore a grumpy face, but with a smile still lingering on her face, she winked at Ye Lingyue before leaving.
"Miss Yue, help me thank the Wuling City Lord for sending the Huangquan Water."
