Chapter 424 - Setting Up A Stall And Poaching In The Corner (1)
"Zheng En, wake up!" Charm stretched out his little paw and shook Zheng En's clothes.
"Uh! Did I fall asleep? Charm, what's the matter?" Zheng En said awkwardly. Boohoo… How did I fall asleep!
"Someone wants to exchange herbs." Charm pointed at the old man beside him.
At this moment, Zheng En discovered that there was a very inconspicuous little old man dressed in ordinary clothes standing beside Charm. Although this little old man wasn't good-looking, his eyes were overflowing with light. Moreover, he was sizing Zheng En up.
"Uh! May I know what medicinal herbs you want to exchange for?" Zheng En asked very politely. He couldn't tell this old man's strength at all, so it had to be above his.
"I heard from those beasts that you have all sorts of medicinal herbs, so I came to take a look. If there's anything I need, I'm willing to exchange with you for something of equal value," the little old man said skeptically. Alas! He had lived for many years, and to be honest, he had really never seen such an eloquent beast! If not for his strong willpower, he would probably have been convinced by them long ago.
"Old man, take a look at this first." Zheng En took out two signs from his ring and placed them in front of the old man. The two signs each had the herbs they needed and the herbs they possessed.
"Do you really have all these?" the little old man said with a face full of shock and disbelief after looking at the contents of the sign. Heavens! Who is this person? He actually has all the herbs I need.
"Of course. How is it? Old man, is there anything you want to exchange for?" Zheng En asked with a smile. Hehe, he knew very well that the medicinal herbs they possessed were enough to make any alchemist go crazy.
"Yes, I want to exchange for these," the little old man said happily. Alas! It seemed like he didn't come for nothing this time!
"Do you have what we need?" Zheng En asked again. Their young lady felt that they didn't have enough herbs, so she wanted to exchange for some that they didn't have or didn't have a lot.
"Erm… I need to exchange for ten types of herbs, but I only have eight that you need. Can I exchange something else?" the little old man said after some hesitation.
"Something else? What is it?" Zheng En asked curiously.
At this moment, the little old man took out a red flower from his ring. It was palm-sized and red like fire. There seemed to be liquid flowing slowly in the petals. Moreover, the fragrance of the flower alone was refreshing!
"Can I use this to exchange for the remaining two herbs?" the little old man said reluctantly. He had been keeping it ever since he unintentionally obtained this red flower. Moreover, he had searched through all the ancient books, but he didn't know what this red flower was. But he was sure that this flower was definitely something good!
"This…" Zheng En couldn't make up his mind. Every one of the medicinal herbs that their young lady took out to exchange for was a priceless treasure on the Boundless Heaven Continent. Moreover, many medicinal herbs were unable to be measured with money. But if he exchanged their precious medicinal herbs for a red flower that he couldn't name at all, to be honest, he really didn't have the guts!
"Zheng En, exchange with this old man!" Leng Ruoxue opened the tent and walked out.
"Yes, Miss." Zheng En was relieved.
The little old man looked up at Leng Ruoxue and sized her up. The more he looked, the more surprised he was. The fire attribute on this little girl was so rich! She should also be an alchemist. Moreover, he didn't expect a Mystic Monarch to actually call an Elementary Mystic 'Miss'. I wonder which family she's from.
"Old man, I'm just an ordinary person on the Boundless Heaven Continent. He lost a bet with me, so he recognized me as his master," Leng Ruoxue explained understandingly. Alas! This old man's thoughts were all written on his face. It was impossible for her to pretend not to see it.
"Uh!" The little old man was embarrassed and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. Was I being so obvious? Moreover, he didn't believe what Leng Ruoxue said about being just an ordinary person. Would ordinary people have so many precious herbs? But since she was unwilling to reveal her identity, he naturally wouldn't force her!
"Old man, what herbs do you need?" Leng Ruoxue asked with a light smile.
"I need a silver bell flower, a stalk of rootless grass, a spirit wood seed…" the little old man said all the herbs he needed in one go. Then he took out the herbs Leng Ruoxue wanted from his ring and handed them to her along with the red flower.
Leng Ruoxue took the herbs handed to her by the little old man. "Old man, choose three more herbs! The value of this red flower isn't something that two herbs can compare with."
"Little friend, do you know this red flower?" the little old man asked with a face full of pleasant surprise, his old face full of anticipation.
"I guess so!" Leng Ruoxue said.
"Then please tell me, young friend. Treat it as offsetting the value of this red flower!" the little old man said anxiously. He wanted to know what this flower was. It had been many years. Now that someone finally recognized it, he wouldn't let go of this opportunity no matter what.
"The origin of this red flower can't offset its value, so you should choose three more!" Leng Ruoxue said. She didn't want to take advantage of this old man.
"Alright then! But little friend, you have to tell me the origin of this flower!" the little old man said worriedly.
"Okay." Leng Ruoxue nodded.
"I've chosen." The little old man looked at Leng Ruoxue eagerly after choosing three herbs.
"This red flower is called the blood weeping flower! It is the main ingredient for concocting the blood weeping pill. The blood weeping pill is a legendary divine-grade pill." Leng Ruoxue only gave a simple explanation, but she believed that this old man would understand.
"Blood weeping pill! No wonder!" The little old man couldn't help sighing. It was actually the legendary blood weeping flower. Alas! He had heard of the famous blood weeping flower. However, the records of the blood weeping flower, as well as the pill formula for the blood weeping pill, had already disappeared from the Boundless Heaven Continent for thousands of years.. No one could refine the blood weeping pill on the current Boundless Heaven Continent. It was a pill that would make even Mystic Supremacies go crazy over! Unfortunately, it had long been lost!
