As soon as the three days were up, w.a.n.g Lan appeared outside the valley on time.

“Senior, you’re so punctual.”

“Kid, stop telling me useless things. Have you prepared the things you said?”

As soon as w.a.n.g Lan arrived, he started asking for the Giant Spirit Fruit.

Li Yuanqing had naturally prepared this treasure long ago. The mountains of fruits in his domain s.p.a.ce were enough for w.a.n.g Lan.

Li Yuanqing did not answer his question, instead he asked, “I’ve already discussed what Senior wants with that old man. I’ve also brought some over. However, Senior, you might not have prepared what I want, right?”

w.a.n.g Lan snorted coldly. With a flip of his hand, hundreds of sparkling spirit stones appeared in his palm.

He casually placed these spirit stones on the table and looked at Li Yuanqing indifferently. “Kid, at the auction back then, I bought your two Giant Spirit Fruits for fifty spirit stones. Since I’m making this deal with you directly, let’s be more straightforward. I’ll give you fifteen spirit stones for each fruit. What do you think?”

These fifteen spirit stones were already a high price.

The advantage of the Giant Spirit Fruit was that it was big enough, and the power inside was purer than the smaller ones.

On the other hand, Li Yuanqing had also estimated that the energy inside was only worth more than a hundred Fire Spirit Fruits. Logically speaking, selling it for six to seven pieces was a very reasonable price.

Fifteen spirit stones were because he sold the Giant Spirit Fruit as another material, so the price was raised.

“I had a good chat with Senior. This price is fair.”

“Then I wonder if you can represent the old gentleman’s thoughts?”

“Senior, you’ve already made a deal with me once. Why do you still ask such a question?”

w.a.n.g Lan pursed his lips noncommittally and picked up the gourd to take a sip. He looked more relaxed, as if he had nothing to worry about this deal.

“Here are a hundred and fifty spirit stones. It’s half. Take out all the goods. After I check them, I’ll naturally give you the other half.”

“Senior, is the amount you want so big?”

“Why? Aren’t you ready?”

“No, I expected it, so I prepared a little more. However, I’m still a little surprised.”

w.a.n.g Lan smiled and looked at Li Yuanqing. His eyes were also blurry, and he could not tell if he was really unconscious or not.

“How scheming are you? Then take out all the goods and let me take a look.”

Li Yuanqing flipped his hand and a pile of hot Giant Spirit Fruits immediately appeared in the hut.

These fruits were all extremely fat and emitted a rich fragrance, filling the entire hut.

The moment these fruits appeared, w.a.n.g Lan’s eyes widened. His eyes were originally not big because he was drunk, but now, his eyes were wide open and the greed in them was obvious.

“So many!”

w.a.n.g Lan could not help but walk up to the fruits and slowly touch them with his palm. The abundant spiritual energy in the fruits made him extremely excited. He even wished he could open the alchemy furnace now and refine all these fruits into liquid before turning them into medicine or pills.

“What a beautiful fire spirit fruit!”

w.a.n.g Lan could not help but lick his lips. He retracted his hand and immediately put all twenty fruits into his bag. The small house immediately became empty.

“Alright!” w.a.n.g Lan said without looking back, “You’re indeed bold.”

“Senior, you flatter me. I’m just a middleman. It’s fine if I have guts.”

“Hmph, if a cultivator doesn’t have any methods, it’s really rare for him to be so generous to others and directly offer treasures like you.”

w.a.n.g Lan turned around and stared at Li Yuanqing carefully. He pretended that nothing had happened and returned to the seat. He slowly sat down and drank another mouthful of wine.

“Where did your master die? How did you know this senior who planted herbs?”

“You don’t have to know about these, right?”

“Hahaha, I was just asking casually. Just treat it as a joke. This deal is quite smooth. I like you very much. There should be many more chances in the future.”

“Thank you for your reminder, Senior. Without you, I’m afraid I don’t know where I can sell these herbs.”

“Kid, you know how to speak, but there’s no need to do this. With your fruit, you can be treated as an honored guest wherever you go. Even if I sell it to your Martial Yuan Sect, I’m afraid your Sect Master will spend a lot of money to buy it. On the other hand, I really happened to encounter it.”

w.a.n.g Lan burped and looked up at Li Yuanqing who slowly stood up and walked out unsteadily.

Li Yuanqing suddenly stopped him.

“Senior, wait!”

w.a.n.g Lan turned around and narrowed his eyes at Li Yuanqing.

“Why? Do you have more?”

Li Yuanqing smiled and walked forward. “To be honest, I only brought these many Fire Spirit Fruits. However, on account of your generosity, I have another gift for you.”

“A gift?”

Li Yuanqing placed his hand behind his back mysteriously. A light flashed behind him, and the purple halo seemed to have gathered into a purple river. It was so dense that one could not open their eyes.

Li Yuanqing smiled and brought the treasure behind him to the front. It was almost impossible to hide this thing behind him, and it looked even thicker when he took it.

“Purple Dragon Root?”

w.a.n.g Lan’s eyes widened as he looked at the thick thing in front of him in disbelief.

The thickest of the ordinary purple dragon roots was only half the size of a small arm.

However, this purple dragon root was not only as thick as a thigh, but it was also twisted into a huge lump. If it was straightened, it would probably be as long as a person.

This was not the Purple Dragon Root. This was a giant.

Even though w.a.n.g Lan was so old and knowledgeable, he could not help but be shocked when he saw this thing.

“Senior?”

Li Yuanqing could not help but call out to him.

Only then did w.a.n.g Lan react. His lips were trembling slightly and he looked at Li Yuanqing strangely.

“This…”

He no longer knew what to say. He had already placed the thick purple dragon root into w.a.n.g Lan’s arms.

“Senior, I specially brought this treasure for you. Old Master said that he hopes that our cooperation in the future will still be so smooth.”

w.a.n.g Lan held this treasure in his hand. He found it difficult to believe that this was true. This was simply too exaggerated.

The market price of the Purple Dragon Root was much higher than that of the Fire Spirit Fruit. After all, the production was limited, and the growth speed was much worse than the Fire Spirit Fruit.

Generally speaking, the purple dragon root was a hundred times more expensive than the fire spirit fruit.

However, the spiritual energy contained in it was also very lacking. The Purple Dragon Root was a necessary ingredient for many high-level medicinal pills, causing its price to rise.

“Who exactly is this old man? He can nurture the Purple Dragon Root to be so thick, and the spiritual energy inside is even denser!”

w.a.n.g Lan finally confirmed that the purple dragon root belonged to him, so he played with it lovingly. The more he sensed the spiritual energy inside, the more shocked he became. He had never thought that there would be such a magical medicinal herb in this world. He had been refining pills for his entire life and was shocked like a fledgling.

Li Yuanqing smiled and replied, “Old Sir is a very low-key person. He has never told me about the past, so it’s not convenient for me to ask.”

“That’s fine. I was just asking casually. I definitely didn’t mean to offend this old gentleman!”

“It’s best if Senior can understand.”

“Is this really for me?”

w.a.n.g Lan took out another twenty spirit stones.

“This treasure is too precious. I’d better buy it.”

Li Yuanqing had no intention of accepting the money. He only smiled at w.a.n.g Lan. “Senior, you’re too polite. Old Sir has always been a man of his word. Since he said that it’s a gift, I don’t dare to accept this spirit stone.”

“Yes, you’re right. I was ras.h.!.+” w.a.n.g Lan came to a realization. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and stood there nervously like a lost student.

“Then I wonder what kind of treasures or pills he likes. If I can, I’ll try my best to get some for you.”

Li Yuanqing rubbed his chin and thought for a while. This was a good suggestion.

“I don’t know what he likes, but the next time I see him, I can help you ask this.”

“That’s the best! Thank you, young friend! If you need anything in the future, feel free to look for me. Although I’m a little old, I still have some reputation.”

Li Yuanqing really had such a plan. He followed w.a.n.g Lan’s words and said, “Since Senior has said so, I won’t hide it anymore. I’ve always been curious why Senior want so many Fire Spirit Fruits.”

w.a.n.g Lan had just accepted such a precious treasure from Li Yuanqing, so he had no intention of hiding it from him.

He said bluntly, “Actually, this Fire Spirit Fruit is a necessary item for fire-attribute spiritual energy cultivators. The Little Fire Pills and Fire Yellow Pills refined with it are necessary items for these cultivators. Those of better quality won’t have to worry about sales.”

“I see.”

“Not only that, but it can also be used to refine some fire-attribute consumables. For example, the Fire Spirit Pill and the Explosive Flame Pill are very powerful consumables. Throwing out a few at the lowest point can create a certain degree of chaos and damage. They are treasures that all kinds of cultivators are very fond of.”

“It sounds like a really good thing.”

Li Yuanqing had so many fire spirit fruits on hand and was worried about how to exchange them all.

It was impossible for him to keep selling these fruits for a living. Although this Fire Spirit Fruit could be sold for a good price and save time and effort, it was not as good as personally refining pills to earn more.

Moreover, this huge spirit fruit was too big a target. It would definitely not be appropriate if he sold it wantonly and exposed himself one day.

w.a.n.g Lan took out a red pill with many flame patterns on it.

The small pill kept twisting as soon as it was taken out. It looked very unstable.

It was obvious at a glance that this fellow was not to be trifled with. On a closer look, the twisted energy outside the small pill was too dense, causing the s.p.a.ce to twist slightly.

Li Yuanqing took the fiery red pill. It was definitely impossible to figure out the prescription with just a few glances. He had to think of a way to get this prescription out.

w.a.n.g Lan looked at Li Yuanqing’s interested expression and leaned over with a smile.

“If you like it, this Fire Spirit Pill will be my gift to you.”

“I’m afraid that’s not very convenient. I didn’t do anything. I’m just a messenger. Senior, you don’t have to give me such a precious gift.”

“What are you talking about? It’s just a small pill. It’s not a precious gift at all. If you like it, I can leave some for you when I’m rich next time.”

Li Yuanqing still refused. “Senior, this is really inappropriate. I’ve already received benefits from you two as an intermediary. Wouldn’t I be lying to Old Sir if I accept yours?”

“How can this be considered lying?” w.a.n.g Lan explained, “It’s just a small gift from me. Even if the old sir finds out, he won’t blame you.”

Li Yuanqing pretended to be very conflicted and looked at w.a.n.g Lan. “Senior, you really can’t do this!”

“I didn’t expect you to be so persistent. I was too rash.”

“However, I’ve always had some achievements in alchemy. Although my master left early, he taught me a lot of alchemy before he left. It’s just that I haven’t refined a good pill for a long time, so my hands are a little rusty. I find the Fire Spirit Pill quite interesting. I wonder if Senior can take out this prescription so that I can practice it in my free time?”

w.a.n.g Lan suddenly laughed when he heard Li Yuanqing’s words.

“So you like the pill formula of this Fire Spirit Pill. Actually, this pill formula is not a secret. Many alchemists have the formula for the Fire Spirit Pill. I have my own set of formulas. Although it is not one of the best, it is definitely top-grade.”

“Then what do you mean, Senior?”

“Although this is the life of an alchemist, I’m already old. It’s useless to guard these lousy things. If you like it, I’ll give it to you.”

“Thank you, Senior! With your Fire Spirit Pill, I believe I will be able to join the Alchemy Pavilion more smoothly in the future.”

w.a.n.g Lan suddenly thought of this matter and slapped his head. “I really have some clues about the Alchemy Pavilion.”
