Lu Fan stopped after browsing Wanbao Street for a moment, his gaze fixed on an item at a stall.
"Little brother, anything catch your eye?" the stall owner smiled. "Everything on Wanbao Street is genuine!"
"How much is this?"
Lu Fan held the Bagua disk, looking at the old man before him.
The old man had shifty eyes, not seeming like a good person.
"This is a rare find!" the old man said with a laugh. "If you want it, it's at least a hundred thousand!"
"A hundred thousand?" Han Yunhai scoffed. "This thing isn't worth that much. Why don't you just rob someone!"
Lu Fan was also surprised. He sensed the Bagua disk was unusual, but he hadn't expected such a high price.
"This is a spiritual item! If it weren't for my urgent need for money, I wouldn't be selling it!" the old man said earnestly. "If you're not planning to buy, then go look elsewhere!"
"Since it's a spiritual item, it must have something special!" Lu Fan smiled. "Tell me, what's special about this Bagua disk?"
"This Bagua disk was a gift from an immortal!" the old man stated. "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 utter nonsense.
"How about this!" the old man hesitated for a moment. "If you're sincere, I'll let it go for eighty thousand! After all, it's no ordinary item!"
"Eight hundred at most. If you agree, cash on delivery!" Lu Fan made a gesture. "Otherwise, I'm leaving now!"
"Cough, cough, you young man!" the old man coughed a few times. "I've never seen someone haggle like this. It's fate that you came to my stall. Eight hundred it is!"
Lu Fan was straightforward. After paying, he took the item.
Han Yunhai was completely bewildered. He had never haggled before and didn't understand the intricacies of it.
"Sir, what's so special about the Bagua disk?" Han Yunhai asked in surprise. "For you to care about it so much, 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 can't control it!"
"There's such a thing?" Han Yunhai was confused. "Could it be that spiritual items truly exist in this world?"
"Naturally, they do!" Lu Fan nodded. "Whether it's spiritual items or spiritual medicine, they are rare. The reason I came here was to see if there were any spiritual medicines. As for elixirs refined from ordinary medicinal materials, they no longer have much effect on Grandmaster level experts."
"So there are many things in this world that I don't know about."
Han Yunhai showed an embarrassed expression and spoke frankly.
"There are many things in this world we haven't encountered," Lu Fan said with a faint smile. "For example, my strength is already quite considerable, but facing that old man, I felt like a mere child, no match for him at all."
Speaking of this, Lu Fan felt a touch of helplessness. His current strength could easily defeat Grandmasters, even legendary mighty figures, but in front of that old man, he was like a brat, utterly insignificant.
Lu Fan put away the Bagua disk and browsed the roadside stalls for a long time. Although there were many medicinal materials, he didn't find what he was looking for, feeling a little disappointed.
Wanbao Street indeed had many treasures, but it lacked precious medicinal materials. Without sufficient medicinal ingredients, Lu Fan couldn't refine high-grade elixirs, and he was well aware of this.
"Mr. Lu, I didn't expect to see you at Wanbao Street!"
Just then, a voice rang out, and Shen Xiaoxiao ran over, her face beaming with a smile, accompanied by several bodyguards.
"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 here at Wanbao Street to buy something?"
"I was hoping to buy some precious medicinal materials, but unfortunately, despite how large Wanbao Street is, there don't seem to be any readily available," Lu Fan said with a wry smile. "It seems my trip today was in vain."
"So it's medicinal materials!" Shen Xiaoxiao glanced over. "May I ask what kind of medicinal materials Mr. Lu needs? I can send someone to deliver them personally!"
"Millennium spiritual herbs," Lu Fan said calmly.
Shen Xiaoxiao was taken aback. She hadn't expected Lu Fan to say it so casually. Millennium spiritual herbs were no ordinary items; they were not only priceless but even if available, their price would likely be astronomical.
"Miss Shen is very influential and holds a prominent position in Chu Zhou," Han Yunhai chuckled. "Does Miss Shen have a way?"
"That's hard to say," Shen Xiaoxiao replied helplessly. "However, I do know that on Niutou Mountain in Chu Zhou, there are quite a few precious medicinal materials, but I don't know if you dare to go!"
"Niutou Mountain?" Lu Fan asked in surprise. "What kind of place is that? Are there really spiritual herbs there?"
"Niutou Mountain is vast, but unfortunately undeveloped," Shen Xiaoxiao stated. "Every year, people go up the mountain to gather herbs, and the herbs they collect are extremely precious. It's just that not many who enter the mountain manage to come back out."
"That's so exaggerated?" Han Yunhai was astonished. "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 preys on those 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 earnestly. "If there are truly precious medicinal materials, it wouldn't be a wasted trip!"
"You're really not afraid?" Shen Xiaoxiao asked seriously. "If you're determined to go, I'll accompany you tomorrow! And I'll bring a few bodyguards. It should be fine!"
"No need for bodyguards," Lu Fan waved his hand. "Isn't my presence enough?"
Shen Xiaoxiao hesitated slightly before finally nodding. She wasn't afraid of Niutou Mountain; it was just that those were 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 junk items on a stall, haggling with the owner. She seemed quite adept at managing her expenses.
When Lin Xiaojia stood up, she also noticed Lu Fan and the others, her face lighting up with surprise. "I didn't expect you all to be here too. I must thank you again for that night; otherwise, I would have been in trouble!"
"It was just a small matter of convenience!" Lu Fan smiled. "I didn't expect you to be at Wanbao Street too."
"I live near Wanbao Street," Lin Xiaojia said seriously. "It just so happens I have nothing to do today, so I came out for a stroll!"
"What happened to your hand?"
Lu Fan looked at Lin Xiaojia's right hand and noticed several traces of injury.
"It's nothing, I just fell yesterday by accident, and it became like this," Lin Xiaojia quickly replied.
Lu Fan didn't believe her, though. These weren't ordinary injuries; they seemed to be caused by some kind of venom.
