โEn, I had not thought about such a possibility, I was negligent,โ Lan Xun heard this and was startled for a moment, but soon she smiled again and said, โItโs simple then, if that happens, the one with the higher medicinal age will be used!โ
โGood idea!โ Zhuang Bu Fan nodded, โThe higher the medicinal age, the stronger the medicinal efficacies and the higher the chance for a successful refinement.โ
โIf everyone is alright with this suggestion, thenโฆโ Lan Xun smiled and looked around, waiting for a reply.
โI donโt have any objections. Since itโs a matter of luck, everyone has an equal chance!โ Finally, someone expressed their opinion, and to everyoneโs surprise, it was actually Wu Chang. He seemed to be quite interested in this proposal.
โGood, I like this proposal and donโt have any objections!โ Xia Sheng shrugged.
โI agree with the Princessโs suggestion,โ Zhuang Bu Fan also said.
With these three taking a stand, no one else would dare raise any objections. Whatโs more, Lan Xun was the one who made this proposal in the first place, so at this time, refusing to cooperate would be equivalent to slapping Lan Xunโs faceโฆ Her Highness was gentle and understanding, but Xiao Chen standing beside her was not so friendly.
Suddenly, everyoneโs opinion was unified, and all of them clamoured on about how Lan Xunโs proposal was perfect.
โMany thanks!โ Lan Xun saw that a consensus had been reached and turned a smile to Yang Kai, โBrother Yang, please tell us what the last herb you need is.โ
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent and looked towards Yang Kai, many people showing expression of expectation and nervousness; after all, this was all a matter of luck. Once Yang Kai reported the herb he required, as long as everything went right, there was a chance they could obtain an Extraordinary Treasure Pill.
This was a Spirit Pill that basically guaranteed one could reach the Emperor Realm, who wouldnโt be anxious?
Many people even felt their heartbeats pound in their chests.
In front of everyoneโs eyes, Yang Kai slowly and clearly announced, โI need a Jade Blood Mushroom that has a medicinal age of at least five thousand years!โ
โA Jade Blood Mushroomโฆ a rare herb,โ Lan Xun heard this and smiled as she looked around, โDoes anyone have what Brother Yang needs? If you can provide it, it will be equivalent to obtaining an Extraordinary Treasure Pill, a rare opportunity one cannot hope to come across!โ
From her words, it seemed like she had great confidence in Yang Kai, as if all one needed to do was present the required herb and Yang Kai would surely be able to refine the Extraordinary Treasure Pill successfully.
It was unknown where her confidence came from.
As soon as her voice fell, many people immediately showed disappointed looks. Obviously, most knew they did not have anything like a Jade Blood Mushroom; however, a few cultivators quickly immersed their minds in their Space Ringsโฆ
โHahahahaโฆโ Suddenly, a loud laugh rang out.
Everyone turned to look and saw a man with a Second-Order Dao Source Realm cultivation excitedly laughing. Noticing everyone now staring at him though, this man quickly composed himself and simply smiled widely, still unable to hide his joy but at least not coming off as obnoxious.
โDoes this friend possess what was requested?โ Lan Xun looked at the man with a smile.
The man quickly jumped out from where he stood and forcefully suppressing the joy and excitement in his heart, he replied with a serious face, โMany thanks to her Highness, this one truly possesses a Jade Blood Mushroom!โ
โOh?โ Lan Xun raised her brow and said happily, โPlease take it out so we may have a look.โ
The man hesitated at this moment, but Lan Xun quickly realized what he was worried about and immediately said, โYou may rest assured, the words I spoke just now will not be taken back. If you really have the herb Brother Yang needs, one of the Extraordinary Treasure Pills will be yours!โ
โMany thanks, Princess!โ The man was waiting for this guarantee from Lan Xun, so after hearing what he needed to, he didnโt hesitate any more and immediately took out a large green and red mushroom from his Space Ring.
โItโs a Jade Blood Mushroom!โ Yang Kai glanced over and knowing that the other party hadnโt produced a fake, he quickly said, โPlease let me see it.โ
The man held the Jade Blood Mushroom in both hands and couldnโt help trembling slightly. What he was holding was not just a simple spirit medicine, but rather his own good future, so he was extremely nervous about even slightly damaging it.
When he came to Yang Kai, he carefully handed over the Jade Blood Mushroom before standing back with an anxious look on his face.
โWhat dog shit luck!โ
โWhy couldnโt this opportunity have fallen into my hands?โ
โThe Heavens must be jealous! I am not convinced!โ
โฆ
Numerous voices filled with jealousy, anger, envy, and so on echoed about.
As for the man who had produced the Jade Blood Mushroom, these voices only sounded like sweet music to his ears and he could not stop a smug expression from filling his face.
โThis is indeed a Jade Blood Mushroomโฆโ Suddenly, Yang Kai frowned and said, โBut its medicinal age is too low, only about three thousand years, far from sufficient.โ
โWhat?โ The man heard this and his complexion changed drastically, his eyes widening as he stared at Yang Kai incoherently before haltingly stuttering, โYouโฆ what did youโฆ noโฆ please take a clear lookโฆโ
โThereโs no need to doubt,โ Yang Kai gave the Jade Blood Mushroom back to the other party as he spoke confidently, โEvery thousand years, the colour of the Jade Blood Mushroom will change slightly, becoming deeper and more pronounced. This friend, although your Jade Blood Mushroom can still be considered mature, and can be used to refine most Spirit Pills, it cannot be used in the Extraordinary Treasure Pill. Iโm sorry to disappoint you.โ
โImpossible!โ The man cried out in grief.
The greater oneโs hopes were, the more disappointed they were when they fell through. This man had thought that an Extraordinary Treasure Pill was within his grasp, but the plans of Heavens are beyond what men can control. How could this man stand seeing this opportunity just slip through his fingers?
โTake another look!โ He stared at Yang Kai reluctantly.
Yang Kai simply shook his head, โIf you canโt believe me, you might as well ask someone else for confirmation. I believe there should be others here who can distinguish this herbโs medicinal age.โ
As he said so, Zhuang Bu Fan stepped forward, โThis friend, this one is Orthodoxy Templeโs Zhuang Bu Fan, and although his knowledge of pharmacology is not on par with Brother Yangโs, he still has some experience in this field. If you trust this Zhuang, you might as well let him perform an examination.โ
โOf course I trust you!โ The man heard this and immediately rushed over to Zhuang Bu Fan and handed over his Jade Blood Mushroom.
Compared with Yang Kai, an unknown person, Zhuang Bu Fanโs name resounded like thunder across the Southern Territory, so his words carried great authority. As such, this man did not hesitate to place his hopes on Zhuang Bu Fan, hoping Zhuang Bu Fan would be able to overturn Yang Kaiโs previous assessment.
As this man stood back, Zhuang Bu Fan began examining the Jade Blood Mushroom carefully. Not only did he perform a visual inspection, but he also sniffed it deeply and even took a fine scrape of it and tasted it.
His movements were methodical and extremely skilful, making it apparent he had performed such actions many times before.
After a while, Zhuang Bu Fan slowly shook his head and while returning the Jade Blood Mushroom to the other party, he said, โBrother Yangโs knowledge of herbs is indeed much deeper than this Zhuang, needing only a single look to tell its medicinal age, this Zhuang is most impressedโฆ Friend, your Jade Blood Mushroom is really only three thousand years old.โ
โHow canโฆ that be?โ The man muttered to himself with a despondent look on his face.
He could somewhat dismiss Yang Kai saying his Jade Blood Mushroom only had a medicinal age of three thousand years, but if Zhuang Bu Fan was the one saying this, he had no choice but to accept.
The cultivators who had previously been feeling extreme envy towards this man now couldnโt help taking pleasure in his misfortuneโฆ
โThere are so many people gathered here, is there no other friend who possesses a Jade Blood Mushroom?โ Yang Kai turned his head to look around while shouting loudly.
No one responded!
Yang Kai sighed.
โBrother Yang, if you use this three-thousand-year-old Jade Blood Mushroom to refineโฆโ Lan Xun frowned at him.
โThat is not possible!โ Yang Kai replied, โPrincess, you must know that when refining extremely precious Spirit Pills, the demand on the adjuvant herbs is incredibly strict. Not to mention a difference of two thousand years, even if this Jade Blood Mushroom was only a hundred years too young it would not be usable.โ
โHaaโฆโ Lan Xun sighed slightly. It wasnโt that she didnโt know what Yang Kai was saying was true, it was just that she was hoping it wasnโt.
โThatโs fate!โ Xia Sheng suddenly shook his head and said, โThe Jade Blood Mushroom is not a common spirit medicine, so it was already quite impressive that someone here possessed one. Since no one else has one, then it seems we can only fight it out for this lotus when the time comes!โ
โActuallyโฆโ Lan Xun wore a slightly apologetic and helpless look, โI too have a Jade Blood Mushroom, and it should meet Brother Yangโs requirements.โ
โHuh?โ Xiao Chen was startled when he heard these words and said, โWhy didnโt you take it out just now then, Your Highness?โ
Yang Kai also looked towards Lan Xun in amazement, but quickly a thoughtful expression flashed across his face and he smiled before cupping his fists, โThis Yang deeply admires the Princessโs magnanimity!โ
At that moment, he understood why Lan Xun hadnโt taken out her own Jade Blood Mushroom until now.
It wasnโt that she was reluctant to share itโฆ
She was the daughter of Bright Moon Great Emperor, so no matter how precious a spirit medicine was, could she really not bear to part with it? Her not stepping forward was all because she wanted to give this opportunity to someone else and had repeatedly asked if there was no other way just now.
In the end, though, she was forced to come forward.
She was also probably a bit embarrassed about the proposal she had made since she had the herb Yang Kai happened to need.
No one present was a fool, so after listening to Yang Kaiโs words and a little thought, they realized what had happened and for a moment, all of them couldnโt help casting awe-filled and admiring gazes at Lan Xun.
Lan Xunโs cheeks went slightly red, making her look even more stunning.
โEn, I can contribute the Jade Blood Mushroom, but as for the Extraordinary Treasure Pillโฆ I donโt want it,โ Lan Xun pursed his red lips and said.
โHow can we accept that!?โ Xiao Chen was the first to jump out and object.
โSilence!โ Lan Xun frowned and snapped at him, โI have the right to deal with my own possessions!โ
Xiao Chen opened his mouth but didnโt dare to speak anymore, feeling quite suffocated as his face turned blue from mixed emotions.
โYour Highnessโs words are inappropriate here,โ Xia Sheng smiled slightly and said, โSince everyone here reached an agreement before, Your Highness is more than entitled to this prize. If you were to reject this proposal now, it would be equivalent to everyone here owing Your Highness a heavy favour. Later, no one will know if the precious pill they received should have rightfully belonged to Your Highness. This kind of losing trade, this Xia does not want to participate in it!โ
