Chapter 1963: Chapter 723: Spending a Billion, Minghuo’s Invitation
"Therefore, a batch of Fourth-Order Spirit Grass has been brought out, entrusted to me for trading."
Speaking of this, he flipped his wrist, revealing a grey cloth bag about the size of a palm.
The crowd, having heard about the Fourth-Order Spirit Grass earlier, was already paying attention. Now, seeing the grey cloth bag, they had no doubts.
"That is a treasured item of the Four Seas Commerce Guild, named the Sumeru Bag, containing space within, best for transporting large quantities of goods. It can even temporarily store living creatures like Demon Beast Elixirs. It is indeed a famous spatial magic item from the North Sea."
Beside Luo Chen’s ear, the voice of True Master Langya echoed.
He could not help but glance a bit more at that grey cloth bag, his eyes showing some interest.
He wondered how this bag would compare to his own Penglai Octagon Pavilion, which was better?
However, thinking about it, with such varied functions, it might excel in versatility but lack specialization; just for storing spirit medicine, it might be significantly inferior to the Penglai Octagon Pavilion!
The next moment, Luo Chen’s attention was diverted.
"The Fourth-Order Hong Ling Grass, containing the energy of Hong Yuan within, is said to be the nearest energy to the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, with extremely strong adaptability. Most High-Order Elixirs in the world can use it as an ingredient. It is rumored that even Divine Transformation Great Powers use this grass in pill refinement."
"There are a total of twelve hundred plants, accumulated over many years by Lord Ying Yuan, and yet to be harvested, with potent medicinal power!"
"Ten thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones per plant, friends who are interested can name your numbers."
No mention of an auction, with the highest bidder winning.
But directly priced at ten thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones per plant.
This was already an absolute overprice; a Fourth-Order Spirit Grass valued equivalent to a Medium Grade Magic Item, further than that is excessive.
For a time, the people present were all tempted.
Soon, there was a response.
"Give me ten plants!"
"I want fifty plants, I’ve been researching a fragmented Pill Formula recently, and have always failed to find a suitable main material replacement, the Hong Ling Grass might be a good substitute."
"Forget it, this old man isn’t skilled in the Dao of Alchemy, I won’t participate in this."
"I’ll take a hundred plants!"
As soon as this was said, the crowd turned their heads toward the woman in a colorful Xia dress.
It’s Du Feiyan, Master of Smoky Mists, and also one of the few stream lords in the Mo Luo Sect skilled in Pill Refinement Technique.
Her prominent Pill Refinement Technique significantly contributed to her standing firm in the Mo Luo Sect.
Shang Sihai looked at this scene with satisfaction, the reason he brought out the Hong Ling Grass for trading as the first item was mainly to avoid awkward silence.
The majority of High Order Cultivator transactions are barters.
By settling with Spirit Stones, most people could afford to buy it.
However, compared to the quantity of twelve hundred, the purchase of one or two hundred plants was not quite substantial.
His friend’s Spirit Stone shortage was quite dire, and he couldn’t afford to take this batch of medicine to sell slowly within the commerce guild.
"Somewhat overestimated their wealth."
Shang Sihai thought regretfully that this batch of Hong Ling Grass might need to be offered to a few High-Order Alchemists in the North Sea for promotion.
Just as most had no further response, an unexpected voice emerged.
"Since everyone seems to have finished, then the remaining Hong Ling Grass, all to this independent cultivator!"
Shang Sihai was stunned, staring at the youthful white-robed man.
"Huang Independent Cultivator, Is this really true?"
Luo Chen smiled slightly, "With so many fellow Daoists as witnesses, how can it be false?"
At this moment, everyone held their breath, looking at Luo Chen with suspicion and uncertainty.
The remaining Hong Ling Grass was about a thousand in number!
At ten thousand per plant, that was over a hundred million Spirit Stones!
The crowd present, with years of accumulation, all considered themselves to have some wealth, but to ask someone to produce such an immense amount of Spirit Stones at once would be devastating.
Even someone like Nan Qi Old Ghost, who had recently acquired territory and hadn’t managed much, might simply not be able to come up with so many Spirit Stones.
Shang Sihai took a deep breath and cupped his hands toward Luo Chen, "In that case, I must thank you on behalf of my friend for such a generous act."
Subsequently, he took Luo Chen to the side hall to retrieve all the Hong Ling Grass.
Looking at the white Spirit Grass planted in the thin soil on the ground, resembling seedlings, Shang Sihai explained, "The high price is because the roots have not been severed. If you have a suitable planting method, you might even be able to cultivate a batch of seedlings."
Luo Chen nodded; with his knowledge of Spirit Plant cultivation, he could naturally see this detail.
Without another word, Luo Chen immediately took out a hundred million Spirit Stones from his storage ring and packed them into a storage bag for Shang Sihai.
"Does Huang Independent Cultivator have a suitable magic item to store this batch of herbs? I have a few space-type magic items; although the quality isn’t comparable to a Sumeru Bag, they can be used temporarily."
Luo Chen smiled slightly, "No need to worry about that."
Shang Sihai raised an eyebrow and left the side hall without saying much.
After he left, Luo Chen looked at the batch of Hong Ling Grass and revealed a radiant smile.
Never did he expect, while coming for the Soul Essence, he’d instead gain Hong Ling Grass.
This kind of Spirit Grass is one of the optional main materials for a Fourth-Order Pill in the thirty-six Pill Formulas of Refining Heaven Demon Monarch for Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators’ Qi Refinement!
When used as medicine, it can refine a kind of Fourth-Order Pill called Hong Yuan Pill, which aids in cultivation.
Originally, Luo Chen wasn’t targeting this matter.
With his current physique and Spirit Root, he had full confidence to cultivate to the Late Stage Nascent Soul within two to three hundred years even without taking elixirs.
There was only a slight insufficiency in the cultivation technique.
It can be said Luo Chen’s talent now is absolutely standout!
However, if cultivation pills can be used as a supplement, that would naturally be even better!
"Truly, it came effortlessly!"
Luo Chen took out an array disk, set up the Concealment Array, and then used the Penglai Octagon Pavilion to collect the entire batch of herbs.
