$75 bid!

  "Five hundred spirit stones for a third-grade seven-leaf ginseng? That's too cheap of an offer!!"

  A clear and bright young man's voice came from the entrance of the commercial building.

  Everyone in the hall turned their heads to look over.

  Only a young monk, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a gentle smile on his face, walked into the commercial hall and said with a hint of teasing, "Bai Yu, weren't you in closed-door cultivation at the Luoshu Lake villa not long ago? How did you come back from Luoshu Lake? ...Oh, I almost forgot. You were robbed of your cultivation villa and driven out of Luoshu Lake! I heard that you had a hard time on the Sunset Prairie for a while, thinking of taking back the villa, but it's been so long, and there's still no movement?!

  "Hmph, Wang Zhuo! Where I cultivate is none of your business!"

  The young man in white saw that young monk, and his tender face changed slightly, being stabbed to the point of pain, instantly giving rise to some anger.

  Wang Zhuo didn't mind Bai Yu's anger, and walked straight to the counter, pointing at the jade box inside, smiling and saying, "Seven-leaf ginseng is a main medicine for refining third-grade yuanqi dan. Generally, people who pick herbs in the wild can only find seven-leaf ginseng that is less than 100 years old, it's extremely difficult to pick three-hundred-year-old seven-leaf ling ginseng. As for the medicinal gardens of large families, although they also cultivate seven-leaf ginseng, after all, this is just a spiritual grass medicine used during the refining qi period, at most they will be harvested after 50 or 100 years, it's not worth cultivating for three hundred years. Only fourth-grade or higher spiritual medicines would be cultivated for several hundred years."

  "This seven-leaf ginseng is a rare treasure, absolutely a precious spiritual medicine. For cultivators in the Refining Qi stage, using it will definitely speed up their cultivation and save them a lot of time. Bai Yu, you're offering 500 pieces of spirit stone, which seems fair at first glance, but actually you're lowballing and taking advantage of others' ignorance!"

  Wang Zhuo sneered for a while, then turned to Ye Chen and smiled warmly, "Sell this seven-leaf ginseng to me! My Wang family has been operating a spiritual medicine business in Xian City for hundreds of years, no worse than the White family. Name your price!"

  The managers of the Lingzhen Pavilion did not dare to interrupt, as the dispute between the two young masters of the great families was not something they could easily intervene in. Both were sons of the great families of Xiānchéng, and their families were both mainly engaged in the business of spiritual medicine. The most troublesome thing was that both families wanted to dominate the spiritual medicine industry in Xiānchéng, and often clashed because of it. It was normal for Bai Yu and Wang Zhuo, two young masters of great families, to look at each other with disapproval.

  "Whoever bids higher gets it, and I only accept cash payment in spirit stones."

  Ye Chen hesitated for a moment before speaking.

  "Alright, I'll add a hundred to his price and offer six hundred spirit stones!"

  Wang Zhuoyi smiled and took out a bag of 600 spirit stones, slapping them on the counter as he looked at Bai Yu.

  "Seven hundred!"

  Bai Yu glared at Wang Zhuo and added 200 spirit stones on top of the price of 500.

  "Eight hundred!"

  Wang Zhuo seemingly casually took out two hundred pieces of Ling Stone and slapped them on the counter.

  Bai Yu rummaged through his storage bag, his face turning somewhat unsightly. The bag was already empty, and he couldn't take out any more spirit stones. He had just taken a receipt at the merchant guild, having spent over 600 spirit stones, and there were only over 700 left in the storage bag, all of which were here.

  Moreover, Ye Chen said that he only accepted cash payment for the spiritual stone, and even if he wanted to go back and get the spiritual stone, it would not be possible.

  "It seems you can't take out more spirit stones! Eight hundred spirit stones, this seven-leaf ginseng belongs to me!"

  Wang Zhuo smiled with a hint of pride.

  "Deal!"

  Ye Chen didn't mind who bought the Seven Leaf Ginseng, as long as he was given enough spirit stones. He handed over the jade box along with the Seven Leaf Ginseng to Wang Zhuo and received eight hundred spirit stones from him.

  But things aren't over yet.

  Ye Chen took out another long jade box from his storage bag, exactly the same as the one he gave to Wang Zhuo. "Slap" sound, put the jade box on the counter.

  "What is this? Do you have other spiritual medicine?"

  Wang Zhuo was taken aback for a moment.

  It wasn't just Wang Zhuo; even Bai Yu, who was about to leave the merchant hall in a huff, couldn't help but take a look at the new jade box that had been brought out.

  Ye Chen didn't say anything and directly opened the jade box.

  Several people around stretched their necks to take a look inside the jade box, and immediately there was a faint sound of gasping, "It's another seven-leaf ginseng!" "It's over a foot long, it must be a 300-year-old spirit ginseng!"

  "How can you still have a 300-year-old Qī Yè Líng Shēn?"

  Wang Zhuo's face suddenly changed color, and his tone also changed.

  Ye Chen said with a hint of strangeness, "I never said I only had one Seven Leaf Grass! I found that these two Seven Leaf Grass were growing together, so I dug them up together!" He had prepared the two Seven Leaf Grass from the beginning. Estimated to sell for five hundred spirit stones each, two would be almost a thousand, enough for his monthly spirit stone expenses. It's just that he didn't expect the first one to sell for eight hundred, much more than he had anticipated.

  Wang Zhuo's expression suddenly became very colorful, he never thought that Ye Chen would have a second seven-leaf ginseng, and his expression was unknown whether it was embarrassing or regretful.

  A single 300-year-old Seven Leaf Ginseng worth 800 yuan can also severely humiliate Bai Yu's face and prevent this extremely rare Seven Leaf Ginseng from falling into Bai Yu's hands.

  But two of them wouldn't be worth that much and couldn't even hurt Bai Yu in the slightest.

  If he had known this earlier, why would he have competed with Bai Yu to raise the price? They could have just bought one each!

  Bai Yu didn't expect such a twist, and he was overjoyed, his face beaming with delight. "This one's mine... sell it to me at a discount, 500 spirit stones!" Wang Zhuo had spent 800 spirit coins on a seven-leaf spirit ginseng, but now no one was competing with him for this particular seven-leaf spirit ginseng.

  "Seven hundred yuan for this spirit stone! I want to buy it now and settle the deal. If you don't sell, I'll go check out other shops!"

  Ye Chen shook his head.

  "Seven hundred is a bit expensive, can you make it cheaper? How about six hundred? Let's just consider it as making friends."

  Bai Yu's heart was filled with joy and excitement as he loudly exclaimed to Ye Chen in front of Wang Zhuo.

  Wang Zhuo's face turned pale, he looked gloomy, glanced at Bai Yu and Ye Chen, put away his jade box, and left the Lingzhen Pavilion. He was unexpectedly swindled, what a great loss of face.

  Bai Yu and Ye Chen haggled over the price, and in the end, Ye Chen sold the remaining 300-year-old Seven Leaf Ginseng to Bai Yu for 650 spirit stones. The two 300-year-old Seven Leaf Ginsengs were sold at a high price of 1,450, which was nearly half higher than Ye Chen's expected selling price.

  Ye Chen was still quite satisfied with this.

  Bai Yu was also very satisfied, although the price was one hundred and fifty higher than before, but thinking that Wang Zhuo wanted to use this to strike him, as a result he spent an extra three hundred spirit stones for nothing, his heart suddenly felt a kind of refreshment.

  "I am Bai Yu, a young master of the Bai family. I don't know how to address you, brother?"

  "Leaf morning! Disperse repair."

  "It turned out to be Ye Chen's brother. In the future, if you happen to pick such a high-grade spiritual medicine again, you can directly send it to my White Family Medicine Shop. Just say that I'm White Yu's friend, and the shopkeeper will definitely buy it at a high price."

  Bai Yu finished speaking and didn't have the heart to chat with Ye Chen anymore, so he left Ling Zhen Pavilion and hurriedly returned to the White Family's mansion in Xian City. He was going to refine the Yuan Qi Dan using the 300-year-old Seven Leaf Ginseng. The Yuan Qi Dan refined from this would be extremely beneficial for cultivators in the middle stage of Qi Refining, with excellent effects. Perhaps it could even help him break through the fourth layer of Qi Refining and return to Qing Shan Lake to retake his cultivation cottage. Just thinking about this made Bai Yu's spirits lift greatly.

  Ye Chen watched as Bai Yu left.

  "Qingshan Lake... Cultivation Hut?! Baiyu was kicked out of the Cultivation Hut, what's going on?!"

  Ye Chen thought back to what Wang Zhuo and Bai Yu had said at first.

  He was still in Lingzhen Pavilion, preparing to buy some things.

  The middle-aged shopkeeper knew that Ye Chen had a large amount of spirit stones in his pouch and smiled, "What would you like to buy?"

  "I want to see the secret book of cultivating divine consciousness!"

  Ye Chen smiled and said, "With over 1,400 pieces of spiritual stones in his pocket, his foundation was becoming increasingly solid."

  "This cabinet has 'Divine Technique', 'Refining Divine Technique', 'Divine Consciousness Analysis'... However, the prices are all relatively expensive. The cheapest one also requires hundreds of spirit stones. Look at the counter over there."

  The manager introduced quickly.
