Realm of the Night God

The Underworld Envoy who appeared before Yang Haoran was named Zeng Bingwen. Like Yang Haoran, he was from the Jingling Continent and was also a Burial Master from the same city.

However, Zeng Bingwen's Gaota City was much larger than Yang Haoran's Lecheng, and the resources there were not comparable to Lecheng's.

Of course, with every advantage comes a disadvantage, and it was precisely because of this that Gaota City was much more chaotic than Lecheng.

Yang Haoran had never been to Zeng Bingwen's Gaota City, and he had not known Zeng Bingwen before. The reason he knew Zeng Bingwen, the Underworld Envoy, was due to the purpose of his current journey.

Yang Haoran had always wanted to have a shop in the Underworld. This way, not only could he do some business, but he could also conceal his rapidly growing strength.

Because once he had his own shop, it would not be easy to investigate the source of his soul pills. Even if the business was not doing well, it would still be difficult to investigate this. If the business was doing well, it would be even more difficult.

At that time, he would no longer need to worry about the mysterious source of his strength, as if he were a thief.

Although he wanted to open a shop in the Underworld, this plan had not been realized. The biggest problem was that it was not easy to open a shop in the Underworld, as it required a large amount of capital and connections.

According to his previous plan, he wanted to establish a good relationship with Luo Yao, his superior. Once successful, he could use Luo Yao's connections to open a shop in the Underworld.

After the Great Emperor Jingling's demise, Luo Yao, as a Guardian, naturally became even busier. He would not come to find Yang Haoran, nor would he come to Lecheng for no reason.

After all, Luo Yao had thousands of Burial Masters under his command, and Yang Haoran was not one of his confidants. He would not take the time to come to Lecheng, a small city with few resources, to chat.

Therefore, Yang Haoran felt that waiting for Luo Yao to appear and building a good relationship with him to use his connections to open a shop in the Underworld was not very realistic, at least not in the short term.

Over time, he might be able to find a way to achieve his goal, but he didn't know how long it would take - a year, ten years, or even longer. He couldn't wait that long, as it wouldn't be of much benefit to him, so he decided to change his plan and try to open a shop in the Underworld on his own, without relying on Luo Yao's connections. If he couldn't manage it despite his best efforts, he could consider approaching Luo Yao later.

To open a shop, he needed enough soul pills or hell coins. As the owner of a soul-refining cauldron, Yang Haoran could easily obtain soul pills or hell coins. However, the soul pills produced by his cauldron were not something he could openly display, so he could only use a portion of them as the capital needed to open the shop, without revealing too much to avoid raising suspicion.

After much consideration, he decided to sell some of his collection items, as they had certain value but were not of much use to him or those around him. This would provide the necessary funds to solve his immediate financial needs.

However, to his great frustration, when he visited various relevant shops, the prices they offered for his collection items were extremely low. The merchants explained that whether it was a Mortal Realm Underworld Envoy or an Underworld ghost attendant, his collection items were of no use to them. They would have to find buyers in the Mortal Realm, which was not only troublesome but also uncertain. Therefore, they offered very low prices to account for the risk.

Although Yang Haoran was in dire need of funds, he couldn't sell his collection items at such low prices. So, in the end, he abandoned the idea of selling them. He decided to keep the collection items, as they could be used as a favor in the future or traded with others who might need them. This translation is powered by the readers at M|V|LE9MPYR.

It is clear that the selling price is far above his original cost, but he would not make a deal where he even has to give away his underwear.

He does not plan to sell his collection, but he still needs to find a way to continue seeking funds. In the end, he sets his sights on the Alchemist Feng Xiao.

Yang Haoran does not know much about Alchemists, so he is unaware of Feng Xiao's exact Alchemist rank. However, he is well aware that the medicines Feng Xiao concocts, be they elixirs or even venoms, all have excellent effects.

Therefore, in his view, selling Feng Xiao's concocted medicines in the Underworld will definitely fetch a good price. After all, these medicines are valuable commodities, useful to both Mortal Realm Underworld Envoys and Underworld ghost attendants, especially for the Mortal Realm Underworld Envoys who have physical bodies - restorative medicines are lifesavers for them.

With this decision made, Yang Haoran returns to the Mortal Realm and obtains a considerable amount of medicines from Feng Xiao, taking more than he needs just in case.

Feng Xiao is generous with Yang Haoran, giving him whatever he wants without any hesitation or reluctance, which makes Yang Haoran feel a bit embarrassed.

Upon returning to the Underworld, Yang Haoran quickly manages to sell a portion of the medicines, and just as he had expected, the Alchemist-concocted medicines sell very well in the Underworld - as long as you have them to sell, there will be buyers.

What he did not expect, however, was that the prices Feng Xiao's medicines fetched were much higher than he had imagined. If it weren't for the fact that the shop owner did not shortchange him on the soul pills, he would have thought the shop owner was joking.

The elixir he normally uses for healing, with about ten drops in a small porcelain bottle, was purchased by the shop owner for five soul pills. And the elixir, which has an even better restorative effect than the elixir, was bought for eight soul pills per piece.

Faced with the prices the shop owner offered, Yang Haoran was initially shocked. He never imagined that Feng Xiao's concocted medicines could sell at such high prices in the Underworld.

Fortunately, he has long been accustomed to not revealing his emotions, so he did not show any of his inner turmoil, even though he was greatly surprised, somewhat disbelieving, and even had the thought that the shop owner might have made a mistake.

After leaving the shop, he had time to carefully ponder the issue. The fact that Feng Xiao's elixir and elixir could fetch such high prices in the Underworld was definitely not because the shop owner found him handsome or amiable and wanted to give him more soul pills. He would rather believe that he had stepped on dog feces than believe such an absurd thing could happen to him, especially since he is not even a handsome guy, and the shop owner was an old man.

In his view, the reason must be that he had underestimated the value of the medicines Feng Xiao had concocted from the very beginning. Although he knew that Alchemists were rare in this world and their concocted medicines were precious treasures, he still underestimated the true value of these medicines.

In addition to underestimating the value of Feng Xiao's medicines, he also believes that another reason for the high prices of Alchemist-concocted medicines is the current state of chaos in the world, with constant warfare and conflicts, which naturally drives up the value of medicines.

It's not just Alchemist-concocted medicines, but even ordinary people's medicines have seen their prices double. With Alchemist-concocted medicines, one has a better chance of survival in the midst of the current turmoil, so their high prices are not at all surprising.
