Zhan Jie de Nan Hai

Chapter 187 An Encounter

After browsing Wanbao Street for a moment, Lu Fan suddenly stopped and looked at an item on a stall.

"Little brother, is there anything you like?" the stall owner smiled, "Everything on Wanbao Street is absolutely genuine!"

"How much is this?"

Lu Fan held the Bagua disk and looked at the old man in front of him.

This old man had shifty eyes and didn't seem like a good person.

"This is a rare item!" the old man chuckled, "If little brother wants it, it'll be at least a hundred thousand!"

"A hundred thousand?" Han Yunhai rolled his eyes, "This thing, how is it worth a hundred thousand? Why don't you just rob someone!"

Lu Fan was also surprised. He felt the Bagua disk was unusual, but he never expected the price to be so high.

"This is a spiritual item. If it weren't for my urgent need for money, I wouldn't be out selling it!" the old man said seriously, "If you don't plan to buy, then go to another stall!"

"Since it's a spiritual item, it must have some special properties!" Lu Fan smiled, "Tell me, what's special about this Bagua disk?"

"This Bagua disk was bestowed by an immortal!" the old man stated directly, "Naturally, only those with destiny can use it. If you're unwilling to pay, then forget I said anything!"

Han Yunhai looked embarrassed. There were no immortals in this world, it was sheer nonsense.

"How about this! If you are sincere, then eight thousand!" the old man hesitated for a moment, "After all, this is no ordinary item!"

"Eight hundred at most. If you agree, cash on delivery!" Lu Fan made a gesture, "Otherwise, I'll leave now!"

"Cough, cough, you brat!" the old man coughed a few times, "I've never seen anyone bargain like this. Coming to my stall is fate. Eight hundred it is!"

Lu Fan was direct. After paying, he took the item into his hands.

Han Yunhai watched, completely bewildered. He had never bargained before and naturally didn't understand the intricacies involved.

"Sir, what's special about the Bagua disk?" Han Yunhai asked in surprise, "For you to care so much about it, it must be no ordinary item."

"It is indeed unusual!" Lu Fan nodded, "I can feel a power within this Bagua disk, and it's quite potent! Unfortunately, I cannot control it!"

"There's such a thing?" Han Yunhai was confused, "Could it be that there are really spiritual items in this world?"

"Naturally, there are!" Lu Fan nodded, "Whether it's spiritual items or spiritual medicine, they are rare. The reason I came here this time is also to see if there are any spiritual medicines. As for pills refined from ordinary medicinal materials, they no longer have much effect on Grandmaster level experts."

"So there are so many things in this world that I don't know about."

Showing an embarrassed expression, Han Yunhai spoke frankly.

"There are many things in this world that we haven't encountered," Lu Fan smiled faintly, "For example, my strength is already quite formidable, but facing that old man, I was like a child, completely no match for him."

Speaking of this, Lu Fan felt a sense of helplessness. His current strength could easily defeat Grandmasters, even legendary powerful beings, but in front of that old man, he was just a little kid, not worth mentioning.

Putting away the Bagua disk, Lu Fan looked at the roadside stalls for a long time. Although there were many medicinal materials, he ultimately didn't find what he wanted, which made him somewhat disappointed.

This Wanbao Street indeed had many treasures, but unfortunately, there were no precious medicinal materials. Without sufficient medicinal materials, Lu Fan could not refine high-end pills, and he was clear about this.

"Mr. Lu, I didn't expect you to be on Wanbao Street too!"

Just then, a voice sounded, and Shen Xiaoxiao ran over, her face full of smiles, accompanied by several bodyguards.

"So it's Miss Shen." Lu Fan smiled, "What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here!"

"I think so too!" Shen Xiaoxiao quickly nodded, "Mr. Lu, are you on Wanbao Street to buy something?"

"I wanted to buy some precious medicinal materials, but unfortunately, Wanbao Street is so large, and there seem to be no medicinal materials to buy," Lu Fan said with a wry smile, "It seems I came here in vain today."

"So it's medicinal materials!" Shen Xiaoxiao glanced, "What kind of medicinal materials do you need, Mr. Lu? I can send someone to deliver them personally!"

"Thousand-year-old spiritual medicine," Lu Fan said faintly.

Shen Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded. She hadn't expected Lu Fan to say it so casually. Thousand-year-old spiritual medicine was no ordinary item. Let alone being priceless, even if it appeared, the price would likely be astronomical.

"Miss Shen has vast connections and holds a significant position in Chuzhou," Han Yunhai chuckled, "Does Miss Shen have any way?"

"This kind of matter is hard to say," Shen Xiaoxiao said helplessly, "But I do know that on Niutou Mountain in Chuzhou, there are quite a few medicinal materials, and they are very precious. It's just that I don't know if you dare to go!"

"Niutou Mountain?" Lu Fan asked in surprise, "What kind of place is this? Are there really spiritual medicines?"

"Niutou Mountain is vast, but unfortunately it hasn't been developed," Shen Xiaoxiao stated directly, "Every year people go up the mountain to collect herbs, and the collected herbs are extremely precious. Not everyone who enters the mountain can come out."

"That exaggerated?" Han Yunhai was surprised, "Is there something on Niutou Mountain?"

"Who knows!" Shen Xiaoxiao shook her head, "I heard there's a great water dragon on Niutou Mountain that specifically eats people who enter the mountain, but I don't believe such nonsense."

"Since you don't believe it, why don't we go in and try!" Lu Fan said seriously, "If there are really precious medicinal materials, it wouldn't be a wasted trip!"

"Aren't you afraid?" Shen Xiaoxiao asked seriously, "If you really want to go, I'll accompany you tomorrow! And I'll bring a few bodyguards, and it should be fine!"

"No need for bodyguards," Lu Fan waved his hand, "Isn't my presence enough?"

Shen Xiaoxiao hesitated slightly, then finally nodded. She wasn't afraid of Niutou Mountain, it was just rumors, and she didn't take them to heart.

"Isn't that the girl from that night?"

Han Yunhai seemed to have noticed something and said to Lu Fan.

Not far away, a woman was looking at a few discarded items on a stall, haggling with the owner, appearing quite thrifty.

When Lin Xiaojia stood up, she also noticed Lu Fan and the others, her face showing surprise, "I didn't expect you all to be here too. Thank you for that night, otherwise I would have been in trouble!"

"It was just a small gesture!" Lu Fan smiled, "I didn't expect you to be on Wanbao Street too."

"I live near Wanbao Street," Lin Xiaojia said seriously, "Since I had nothing to do today, I came out for a stroll!"

"What happened to your hand?"

Lu Fan looked at Lin Xiaojia's right hand and noticed several injury marks.

"It's nothing, I accidentally fell yesterday, and it became like this," Lin Xiaojia quickly said.

Lu Fan didn't believe it. These weren't ordinary injuries; they seemed to be caused by some kind of venom.
