Unrivaled Medicine God, page 234
"Might be some wealthy family's disciple from somewhere with too much money to burn! This kind of dummies, I've seen plenty!"
"You looked at the badge on his chest. Still just an Alchemy Master. Wonder what is he buying this Quasi-Tier 4 herbal grass back for. These days, there are really all kinds of idiots!"
The name of the herb couldn't even be called out. Naturally, there was no one who knew what kind of medicinal pill it could be used to refine.
Furthermore, this herb only had one stalk. Even if somebody wanted to use to experiment, it was not possible to experiment out anything either.
This old fellow called Qi Hai already put up a stall here for a month. But this herb could not sell at all.
A stalk of herbal grass that simply had no usage, no matter how cheaply he sold it, it was not possible to spend this wrongful money too.
Earlier, seeing Ye Yuan enquire about this stalk of herbal grass, Qi Hai anyhow gave a price; 50 middle-grade essence crystals. It could already almost purchase a stalk of Tier 4 medicinal herb!
He totally did not think that Ye Yuan would buy. Who knew that Ye Yuan did not even furrow his brows, pulling out 50 middle-grade essence crystals instead!
Qi Hai sat up and could not help sizing up Ye Yuan. A while later, this old man suddenly gave a smile and said, "I was muddled with sleep just now. This stalk of herbal grass should be 100 middle-grade essence crystals!"
When these words came out, those fellow apprentices around Ye Yuan were immediately filled with killing intent.
This old man was completely setting price on the spot. How was this doing business?
This was simply robbing money!
In just a short while, the price doubled!
Ye Yuan burst into laughter and said, "Done! A hundred pieces mean a hundred!"
Chapter 480 250 |
This unknown Tier 4 herbal grass was called Dodder Green Grass.
This kind of Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal herb was naturally not some rare object. But it was a rare thing in the Endless World.
In some medicinal theory records including the Herbal Compendium, there were simply no records regarding the Dodder Green Grass. Those so-called high-rank alchemists not recognizing it was also normal.
The reason why Ye Yuan took a fancy on this Dodder Green Grass was that this was one of the core ingredients for a Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal pill, the Purple Heart Soul Luring Pill.
This Purple Heart Soul Luring Pill was precisely the upgraded version of the Soul Luring Pill. It was used to break through to the Soul Sea Realm.
Except, this Purple Heart Soul Luring Pill's medicinal effects was on an entirely different level from the Soul Luring Pill.
Ye Yuan naturally would not just use the garbage Soul Luring Pill for his own breakthrough. Encountering the Dodder Green Grass was just perfect at this time; he obviously had to put it in his bag.
Furthermore, Ye Yuan more or less knew some things about the Endless World's alchemy world. The value of this Dodder Green Grass was absolutely worth a hundred middle-grade essence crystals.
This thing was not the slightest bit inferior when compared to ordinary Tier 4 medicinal herbs.
Furthermore, due to this Dodder Green Grass being exceptionally scarce in the Endless World, an object was valued in proportion to its rarity. Ye Yuan did not feel that this price was too ridiculous.
It was just that the way others saw it, Ye Yuan naturally became a sucker who was foolish but wealthy.
When Qi Hai saw the hundred middle-grade essence crystals, his eyes immediately lit up, and his entire person became alert, becoming like a different person from that previously lethargic appearance.
One had to know that 100 middle-grade essence crystals was roughly equivalent to the price of a Tier 4 medicinal herb already.
Yet, how could Tier 4 medicinal herbs be so easy to acquire?
A Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal herb selling at the price of a Tier 4 medicinal herb. Where should one go to find this kind of bargain?
"Heh heh. Young man, I see that you have such cultivation at a young age. Definitely a prodigious talent with discerning eyes like burning torches! This herbal grass of mine was snatched from the mouth of a Tier 4 demonic beast. I nearly died in its belly. Fortunately, this old man, I, ran fast. So 100 middle-grade essence crystals really isn't considered expensive!" Qi Hai said in all smiles.
But when everyone saw Qi Hai's manner, they had a contemptuous look.
This fellow was only Crystal Formation Realm cultivation. How could he possibly snatch such a herbal grass from the hands of a Tier 4 demonic beast?
Even a fool also knew that this was bluffing that youngster!
However . . . Wasn't that young man a fool?
Indeed, Ye Yuan actually nodded his head and said, "Huhu, elderly person, I believe you."
A series of snickers sounded all around. But Ye Yuan thought otherwise in his heart.
But towards these ignorant people, he obviously would not go and explain anything either.
Ye Yuan knew that the Dodder Green Grass indeed had a kind of companion beast whose strength was comparable to middle-stage Sea Transformation human martial artists.
This old man Qi Hai being able to return alive was already very fortunate.
People become shrewd as they get older. Even though this old man only had Crystal Formation Realm strength, he might have some special life-preserving means.
Therefore, 100 middle-grade essence crystals was indeed not considered expensive!
"Since that's the case, then let's close the deal?" Qi Hai was afraid that Ye Yuan would renege and hastily said.
"Haha. Done!"
The two people concluded it. Ye Yuan was just about to collect that Dodder Green Grass when all of a sudden, a discordant voice sound out.
"This medicinal herb, I want it! 150 middle-grade essence crystals!"
A young man suddenly cut in rudely and directly raised fifty middle-grade essence crystals.
Seeing this young man, the other stall owners all sensibly shut their mouths, feeling like he was like a plague.
But Ye Yuan's brows furrowed when he saw the situation. This punk was clearly making things difficult for him.
"Elderly person, I offer 200!" Ye Yuan said coolly.
Competing in essence crystals, Ye Yuan really did not fear anyone.
Previously in the unknown mystic realm, Ye Yuan extorted a large sum of essence crystals from the Heavenly Sky Sect.
Later on in the Fierce Gale World, the Xiao Family also gifted a large sum of essence crystals in order to thank Ye Yuan. Ye Yuan basically did not touch them.
This punk was competing in wealth with him?
He was going to freaking regret it!
"250!" the youth spoke again.
At this, the people watching the show by the side could not hold back and unwittingly burst into laughter abruptly.
Ye Yuan was thrilled when he heard that. Was this punk a joker here to amuse everyone?
Seeing everyone snickering, the youth failed to react to it for some time. A Fourth Level Sea Transformation guard behind him hurriedly moved closer and whispered a few words beside his ear.
The youth came to realize the truth abruptly, and he could not help flushing with shame.
He shot a vicious glare at the surroundings and said angrily, "Laughing at what? Do you believe I'll smash all of your stalls if you keep laughing? Make my father take in your stalls and make you all unable to have a foothold in Breaking Dawn City?"
Those stall owners seemed to really submit to this and immediately put away their smiles.
That youth smiled proudly seeing the situation and shot Ye Yuan a glance like he was demonstrating his power.
Ye Yuan guessed that this young man's identity was special too. But he himself was born a silkpants. Could it be that he was still afraid of a silkpants loafing around?
Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "Elderly person, we can't afford to offer 250. We'll offer 300. Haha."
"I offer 500! This medicinal herb is rich in essence energy. I think it's pretty good. Going back and eating it should increase a fair amount of essence energy!" said the young man said haughtily.
Ye Yuan was speechless. This punk actually wanted to eat the Dodder Green Grass raw! Truly a wanton waste of God's good gifts!
The majority of medicinal herb could actually be eaten raw. But extremely few people would do that. Because it was just too wasteful!
Furthermore, according to the attribute differences in essence energy that martial artists cultivate, some medicinal herbs could even clash with the cultivation method trained in, getting half the results with twice the effort, and even affecting cultivation.
This punk was full of shit. He was purely finding trouble!
Ye Yuan obviously did not know that this youth just liked to find things to do when he was idle.
Speaking of which, it was slightly similar to Ye Yuan's predecessor.
This young man was called Jin Peng, and he was the Breaking Dawn City's City Lord's , Jin Feng's, son.
This Breaking Dawn City's City Lord was at the Seventh Level Sea Transformation cultivation. This was already rather impressive in a mortal world's country. It was even more powerful than some great sects' elders.
In truth, although this Breaking Dawn City belong to the State of Yan in name, actually, it was simply a country within a country. Jin Feng always listened to orders but did not serve.
If there wasn't the Tranquil Cloud Sect this leviathan pressuring here, this Jin Feng even had the possibility of crowning himself as king.
This Jin Peng relied on his old man's power and frequently engaged in lawlessness, harming martial artists.
In the course of time, he became notorious.
And his old man, Jin Feng, also indeed had a card to play, These martial artists who set up stalls had to go through the City Lord Manor's consent and get a piece of plaque before they were permitted to operate.
This plaque was very low quality. Moreover, the effective period was only a month. But it needed to collect fees of 50 low-grade essence crystals to 50 middle-grade essence crystals according to the differences in the stall owner's realm.
How could the martial artists that come here to set up stalls number less than 100 thousand?
Just the costs of purchasing the plaque was a rather terrifying figure!
But Jin Feng's strength was extremely formidable. These stall owners could only endure the fate of being exploited.
Hearing this Jin Peng's offer, Ye Yuan's brows unwittingly furrowed.
This punk increased the price without even thinking about it. He was intentionally causing trouble.
Doing it this way, regardless of how much he called out, he would probably keep on increasing too.
Could it be that . . . he had to resort to force?
"Young Master Jin, this medicinal herb, I've already sold it to him. No matter how high the price you offer, I won't sell it either!"
What everyone did not expect was that Qi Hai this old fellow actually opened his mouth to speak at this time.
Chapter 481. Ancestor of Silkpants |
"What? Old man, you say it one more time!"
Jin Peng even thought that he heard wrongly. In this Breaking Dawn City, there were actually still people who dared to not sell things to him?
Qi Hai said with a faint smile, "Young Master Jin, really sorry about it. Before you came just now, I've already agreed upon a price with this little brother. According to the rules, the transaction between us is already considered complete. It isn't nice to renege. If the rules are broken, this old man, I, won't have the face to keep a foothold in this line in the future."
Hearing Qi Hai's words, even Ye Yuan was rather surprised.
This old man's performance before this was enough to leave people an impression that he only sought profits.
But the two of them already raised the price to 500 middle-grade essence crystals right now, and this old man still wanted to sell to him instead?
Jin Peng's eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze when looking at Qi Hai revealed killing intent.
"You're afraid that you won't have the face to keep a foothold? Do you believe that I will take away your plaque right now and make you have no way of having a foothold here?" Jin Peng gnashed his teeth in hatred and said.
But Qi Hai had an indifferent look as he said, "Hehe, this place doesn't want to keep this Lord; there will naturally be a place that will. Although I, Qi Hai, love essence crystals, I cherish my feathers more."
As he spoke, Qi Hai ignored the sullen Jin Peng, turned to Ye Yuan and said, "This Little Brother, these essence crystals, I'll accept them. You take the medicinal herb."
But Ye Yuan's impression of this old man was overhauled, and he said with a smile, "Alright. This herbal grass, I'll keep it. As for the price . . . I'll give you 500 middle-grade essence crystals as it is appropriate."
Qi Hai waved his hand and said, "No need, no need. Since we've already settled on the price, then it's a done deal. This old man, I, won't take an additional piece of essence crystal! A hundred means a hundred!"
Ye Yuan did not think that this old fellow was actually a person with such principles. He actually really just took 100 middle-grade essence crystals.
Since the old man himself insisted on it, Ye Yuan could not very well force the other party to take extra.
But Ye Yuan knew that Qi Hai had already thoroughly offended this silkpants. This silkpants probably would not let Qi Hai walk out of Breaking Dawn City alive.
Ye Yuan was such a person. Others gave him an inch of respect, he would return them a foot.
He already made the decision to ensure this old man's safety.
Qi Hai, this Crystal Formation Realm powerhouse, was still a little weak in the Breaking Dawn City.
Yet, when Jin Peng saw that these two people completely paid him no heed and directly completed the transaction, he had long flown into a great rage.
He smiled coldly at this time and said, "Good! Excellent! In this Breaking Dawn City, this is actually my first time encountering such ballsy people! Yu Qing, take this old man down for me! I want to see if he's really so principled!"
Yu Qing was naturally the Fourth Level Sea Transformation guard behind him.
This was Jin Peng's gold medal hired thug. Following Jin Peng, he naturally committed substantial crimes.
Of course, he obtained considerable benefits too, acquiring quite a bit of cultivation resources. That was how he broke through to the Fourth Level Sea Transformation.
Yu Qing's strength was enough to place in the top ten when looking at the entire Breaking Dawn City as well.
Among the people present, there was only him, one middle-stage Sea Transformation Realm. Who would Jin Peng fear?
Yu Qing was just about to make a move when Ye Yuan took a light step, blocking perfectly between Yu Qing and Qi Hai.
"This old man, I'm protecting him!" Ye Yuan said coolly.
A hint of sneer flashed across the corner of Jin Peng's mouth as he said, "Take care both of them!"
"Yes!" Yu Qing was likewise itching for a fight.
He had already gradually become fond of this feeling of abusing people. Following Jin Peng, he could do as he pleased in this Breaking Dawn City!
"Sigh . . . This boy is foolish and rich. To think that he's still quite loyal to friends. It's just that he's kind of dumb. What a pity . . ."
"This Jin Peng is a little overlord. Who in the Breaking Dawn City dares to provoke him? Beat the young one, and the old one will come. This is the scariest part!"
"Where is there a need for the old one to come out? This checkpoint right in front might not be passable! I reckon that this boy cracked himself up to have some strength and thinks that he can cross boundaries to battle. But the person he's facing is someone at the middle-stage Sea Transformation Realm!"
"This boy definitely comes from a silkpants background too. The experts in the family all humored him, that's why he thinks that he's impressive. In truth, they are all completely flowers grown in a greenhouse; snapping once they come out."
Seeing that the scene was gradually losing control a little, many stall owners started discussing.
Evidently, nobody was optimistic about Ye Yuan.
In their eyes, Ye Yuan and Jin Peng should be around the same; both were with a silkpants background.
It was just that . . . Jin Peng brought along a middle-stage Sea Transformation Realm! Was Ye Yuan dumb?
Of course, they guessed the opening but could not guess the ending.
Ye Yuan indeed came from a silkpants background, but he, this silkpants, was a heaven-defying silkpants.
Yu Qing snickered, the strength of middle-stage Sea Transformation Realm erupted entirely. A punch smashed towards Ye Yuan's face.
This kind of direct abusing was even more satisfying for people!
Ye Yuan's seniors and juniors watched this scene calmly all the way. The instant Yu Qing punched out, Tian Yu curled his mouth disdainfully and spat out a word from his mouth, "Dumb*ss!"
A Fourth Level Sea Transformation Realm dared to posture in front of Ye Yuan. It was purely the action of courting doom!
Ye Yuan did not move all along. He just quietly watched Yu Qing, watching him display that garish punch.
Just as that violent storm-like punch was about to smash onto Ye Yuan's face, Ye Yuan lightly extended a finger.
Yu Qing did not think that a First Level Sea Transformation dared to be so overbearingly haughty in front of him. In his mind, this Ye Yuan was truly courting death to the extreme.
"Go and die!" Yu Qing said with a hideous grin.
One punch and one finger would bump together just like this. This sight in everybody's imagination did not appear.
Yu Qing's violent aura instantly vanished into nothing the moment it came into contact with Ye Yuan's finger.
The expression on Yu Qing's face froze there, not daring to believe everything happening before his eyes.
"Ah!
Yu Qing suddenly gave a miserably cry, his entire person crumbling softly onto the ground.
