Chapter 49 Heaven's Gift and Earth's Treasure

  The fat-faced monk's expression changed and he stared at Yang Fan, asking: "Are the materials on this list for your own use or are you purchasing them for your elders?"

  Yang Fan was slightly taken aback, but immediately understood the meaning of the plump-faced monk. He replied calmly: "These materials are for my master, I'm here to purchase them on his behalf. He is currently in seclusion, cultivating and refining elixirs, and has no time to spare, so he sent me instead."

  "Oh?"

  The fatty's face revealed a look of sudden realization, and his attitude towards Yang Fan also underwent some changes. He said: "I suppose your master must be a rather capable alchemist or pill concocter."

  Yang Fan had just taken out a list, which listed more than 100 materials, some of which were commonly used medicinal materials, a small part was relatively precious, and another part he had never even heard of.

  The amount of materials on this list and the number of spirit stones required is absolutely astonishing.

  Imagine, a Qi-refining beginner cultivator, how could he have such wealth.

  Even a ordinary cultivator in the concentration period can't afford so many materials even if they spend all their wealth.

  "That's right, my master is an alchemist."

  A few proud colors appeared on Yang Fan's face.

  Fatian Shushi couldn't help but feel a deep respect, and from the other's expression, it was clear that his master must be an extraordinary pharmacist.

  "Alright, take a look at these materials, does your store have them?"

  Yang Fan asked faintly.

  At this moment, he can already communicate with Puffy Face Shixiong on an equal footing, and the other party even has some trepidation in his heart.

  "Wait a minute."

  The fat-faced monk took out a cyan talisman and pinched his fingers together in a spiritual decision, muttering a few words to it in a low voice.

  A moment later, a white-robed old man with a white beard walked down from the second floor of "Yao Wang Ge".

  Yang Fan had already entered "omniscient mode", his senses enveloping an area of two hundred zhang in all directions, and even the things on the upper floors did not escape his surveillance.

  In his perception, Yao Wang Ge was divided into four layers, each with its own restrictions.

  Everyone in the room was a Qi Refining stage cultivator.

  The cultivators in the second layer were unexpectedly all at the Condensation stage.

  As for the third and fourth layers, their enveloping prohibitions are even more powerful and unpredictable, and even Yang Fan's "omniscient mode" cannot sense them.

  Yang Fan's heart was solemn, it seemed that the actual power hidden behind the Medicine King Pavilion was unfathomable.

  "Master Xu, take a look at this list."

  The chubby-faced monk respectfully said to the old man in white.

  The old man in white robes glanced at Yang Fan, his eyes scanning the list in his hand, a hint of unusual color flashing across.

  Then, the old man in white robes with the surname Xu looked at Yang Fan a few more times and asked: "Are these materials what your master needs?"

  "That's right, Master has no time to divide his body, and he has refined a lot of spiritual pills. The materials and spiritual stones have been consumed in large quantities..."

  Yang Fan nodded.

  "Alright, follow me upstairs."

  Mr. Xu said, then took Yang Fan to the second floor of "Yao Wang Ge".

  Yang Fan's heart was slightly apprehensive, as the second floor of this Medicine King Pavilion were all cultivators above the Condensing Spirit stage.

  Mr. Xu opened the way and helped break through the blockade, and Yang Fan walked in easily.

  At a glance, the second floor is even simpler in layout, with various medicinal materials not taken out, but many bamboo slips are hung on the walls around. Each bamboo slip has the name of some material or spiritual elixir engraved on it.

  Zhongpin Yunling Dan, Zhongpin Qing Shen Dan, Zhongpin Xi Mao Dan, Bai Nian He Shou Wu, San Ye Yun Cao, Xue Mu Gen...

  A dense list of materials flashed before Yang Fan's eyes.

  "Considering the large quantity of materials you purchased and the not-so-small amount of spirit stones, I made an exception to let you come up to the second floor. Normally, the second floor of 'Medicine King Pavilion' is a trading venue for cultivators in the Condensing Spirit stage."

  Mr. Xu said calmly.

  "Please, senior, help me out and take a look below. How many spirit stones are needed in total? Since Master is refining pills and needs to consume a large amount of resources, the spirit stones I have on hand are also limited. If it's not enough, we can exchange for other items."

  Yang Fan said calmly.

  Mr. Xu nodded and began to help Yang Fan calculate, after a moment, he said: "Among the 103 materials you need, 35 can be found on the second floor, and 66 can be found on the first floor. These are mostly common materials, and some rare ones too. But the last two materials, Purple Dragon Fruit and Thousand Leaf Flower, cannot be found on either the first or second floor."

  "So, excluding the Violet Dragon Fruit and Thousand Leaf Flower, how many spirit stones are needed for the remaining materials?"

  Yang Fan asked.

  He couldn't find dragon fruit and chrysanthemum, but he wasn't surprised either.

  He needs to refine are some spiritual pills that aren't too high in grade, and the medicinal materials for treating injuries are the same. These two types of materials belong to rare and superior species.

  "A total of 1009 spirit stones, I'll give you a whole number, 1000 spirit stones!"

  Mr. Xu smiled and said.

  "One Thousand Spirit Stones!"

  Yang Fan was shocked in his heart, he had been in Yangjia Village for so many years and had never touched such a large amount of spiritual stones.

  This was still without adding the "Purple Dragon Fruit" and "Thousand Leaf Flower", as Yang Fan knew, these two materials were precious treasures, their value was probably higher than the sum of the other hundred or so materials.

  "Hehe, is the spirit stone in your hand enough?"

  Mr. Xu smiled slightly.

  One thousand spirit stones, even if exchanged for a ordinary condensed divine cultivator, would be impossible to afford even if they sold everything they owned.

  The rest of the cultivators on the second floor also heard about the number of "One Thousand Spirit Stones" and were somewhat surprised, casting their eyes in this direction.

  Cultivator of the Refining Qi stage!

  The cultivators in the Qi Condensation stage were slightly stunned. Would there be Foundation Building cultivators on the second floor? The transaction amount had actually reached one thousand?

  Yang Fan hesitated for a moment before saying, "One thousand spirit stones, I indeed don't have that many. However, I still have another precious treasure in my hand, which is a five-hundred-year-old white jade ginseng."

  Heavenly material and earthly treasure, still after five hundred years!

  The monks around him cast sideways glances, revealing their curiosity.

  The Immortal Realm has gone through countless years, and the spiritual energy is gradually thinning, let alone the various heavenly materials and earthly treasures that are becoming increasingly scarce.

  Being able to bring out a five-hundred-year-old heavenly material and earthly treasure is absolutely rare in the eyes of these low-ranking cultivators.

  "You take it out and have a look." The old man with the surname Xu showed a strange expression.

  Yang Fan took out a specially made wooden box from his storage bag, removed the seal on top, and opened the lid.

  Inside the box, a person's ginseng about the size of one-third of a palm was lying down, its entire body as white as jade.

  Suddenly, a pure and refined spiritual energy overflowed, causing the air in the room to vibrate.

  "This white jade ginseng has such vigorous vitality, it's probably just been unearthed recently."

  Many masters exclaimed in surprise.

  Generally, after a piece of heaven and earth treasure is unearthed, even if it is well-preserved, its vitality and spirituality will still slowly dissipate.

  But this is a 500-year-old white jade ginseng, with very strong vitality, and even emitting a faint earthy scent, as if it had just been dug up.

  Wow!

  Yang Fan covered the wooden box and sealed it with a prohibition spell, asking: "May I ask, senior, how many spirit stones can this 500-year-old white jade ginseng be sold for?"

  The monks around also pricked up their ears.

  This is indeed a treasure of land and material that has been preserved for nearly five hundred years!

  Such a treasure, combined with some materials, can be refined into high-grade spiritual pills.

  "This..." The elderly Mr. Xu hesitated for a moment.

  "Could it be that senior suspects the authenticity of this white jade ginseng?"

  Yang Fan's inexplicable way.

  "It's genuine and reasonably priced, and this ginseng is of a very high grade."

  Mr. Xu said resolutely.

  "What else is troubling you?" Yang Fan asked.

  "This... I don't dare make a decision on this matter for now, let's ask the senior from the third floor to take a look instead."

  The old man with the surname Xu actually spoke the truth.

  Yang Fan was slightly stunned, and didn't expect that the five-hundred-year-old heavenly material and earthly treasure would be even more precious than he had imagined, to the point where it would shock an even higher-level senior.

  Mr. Xu explained: "Because the seniors upstairs happen to need this level of heavenly material and earthly treasure, let them take a look."

  He picked up a jade token, pinched his fingers into a hand seal, and whispered a few words to the token.

  A moment later, a strong spiritual pressure descended upon the second floor of Yao Wang Ge. The cultivators in the midst of their meditation were compressed to the point where they could hardly breathe.

  Yang Fan's face changed greatly, and he felt his blood churning and his mind in turmoil.

  He has already entered "omniscient mode", and the life force around him is distorted, relieving some of the pressure for him.

  And he himself was unexpectedly forced out of this realm alive.

  "What level of strong is this?"

  Yang Fan was shocked, a 500-year-old white jade ginseng could actually attract such a powerful person, it was really beyond his expectation.

  At this moment, a hoarse voice came from upstairs: "Let him come up."

  (Second update is here, tomorrow is Monday again, last chance to rush to the top, don't be stingy with your votes)
