Chapter 109 Obtaining Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng at a Bargain Price

Fang Tian sent a visiting card, explaining that he had come to discuss business with the patriarch of the Min clan, and asked the gatekeeper of the Min clan to inform him of the news.

The gatekeeper, naturally aware of his family's circumstances, beamed with joy upon hearing that they had come to discuss business. He politely asked the visitors to wait a moment, then quickly ran inside to inform them.

The state of the gatekeeper reveals just how impoverished the Min clan was.

Before long, Fang Tian and Dugu Bo were politely welcomed inside, with even the patriarch of the Min clan personally coming to greet them.

Fang Tian and his companion entered the reception hall of the Min family, and after some pleasantries, they got down to business.

"What business do you two have come to discuss?" The patriarch of the Min clan couldn't help but ask first.

The initiative is now in Fang Tian's hands.

"Hehe, Chief Bai! It's like this, we heard that your clan accidentally obtained a precious medicinal herb. And we are in the medicinal herb business, so we are very interested in precious medicinal herbs."

So we came here to purchase this medicinal herb. Of course, we need to verify beforehand whether it's worth buying.

Fang Tian naturally wouldn't call it a magical herb; instead, he simply described it as a precious but ordinary medicinal herb.

Since the two sides are enemies anyway, Fang Tian feels no remorse for deceiving his enemies.

If it weren't for the extraordinary appearance of the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, Fang Tian might have described it as an ordinary medicinal herb.

However, if it had an ordinary appearance, the Min clan would not have kept it; they would have sold or used it as a common medicinal herb long ago.

Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng is, after all, a type of ginseng. Given its age, even a fool would know it's a precious medicinal herb.

Moreover, this immortal herb is entirely blood-red, even semi-transparent. This is where the word "crystal" in its name comes from. It's extraordinary at first glance.

The patriarch of the Min clan was greatly surprised by Fang Tian's words. They had only obtained this precious medicinal herb half a month ago, and the news had already spread far and wide, even reaching the medicinal herb merchants?

"Where did you get this information from?" Bai He, the patriarch of the Min clan, asked with a serious expression.

"Hehe, Chief Bai, there's no need to be so serious. As medicinal herb merchants, we naturally have special channels for information about medicinal herbs, but these are our trade secrets and cannot be told to Chief Bai."

However, we can guarantee that our information channels absolutely do not involve the Min clan, so Chief Bai need not worry. Let's talk about the medicinal herb acquisition instead!" Fang Tian chuckled, trying to deceive him.

"That's true, since word has already spread. It would be better if we talked about the price of this medicinal herb." Bai He, the patriarch of the Min clan, said helplessly.

Since some herbal medicine merchants have received the news, there must be many more. This precious herb might bring disaster to the family in the future, so it's best to sell it as soon as possible.

Then, Bai He, the patriarch of the Min clan, took out the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng for the two to verify its value.

The moment Fang Tian saw the immortal herb, he activated his recognition system.

Name: Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng

Grade: Ten-Thousand-Year Immortal Herb

Brief introduction: A celestial-grade herb that has grown over ten thousand years by absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, capable of causing a certain degree of evolution in dragon-attribute martial souls.

Fang Tian confirmed the authenticity of the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng and then leisurely returned to his seat.

"Congratulations, Chief Bai! This is indeed a precious medicinal herb, and a precious blood ginseng at that. Its effect on replenishing qi and blood is three times that of ordinary ginseng." Fang Tian flattered Chief Minzhi.

"Chief Bai is a sensible man. How about this, we won't let Chief Bai suffer a loss. We are willing to offer 30 gold soul coins to purchase this blood-red ginseng." Fang Tian's expression twitched as he uttered what seemed like an astronomical price.

Given the current situation of the Min clan, 300,000 gold soul coins is a huge sum. If they use it sparingly, it will be enough for them to last for one or two years.

"30 gold soul coins! This medicinal herb is actually that valuable. But since this person is willing to pay such a high price, it means that the value of the herb far exceeds 30 gold soul coins." Bai He, the patriarch of the Min clan, pondered to himself.

They were all seasoned veterans who had weathered many storms in the world, and naturally understood that this was merely a testing phase. The Minzhi clan patriarch, Baihe, remained silent.

"The price you offered is too low. This blood-red ginseng is clearly no ordinary plant. I'll sell it to you for one million gold soul coins." Bai He, the patriarch of the Min clan, offered what he considered a very high price.

Fang Tian naturally knew that the immortal herb was priceless, but if he agreed now, he figured the other party wouldn't sell it at all.

"Chief Bai, your price is too outrageous. At this price, I not only won't make any money, but I'll also lose a lot of money. No, no, I'll only add 100,000 gold soul coins to your asking price." Fang Tian pretended to be in pain and added 100,000.

After some haggling, the price was finally settled on 650,000 gold soul coins. Fang Tian pretended to be pained as he paid the money and received the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng. In reality, he was overjoyed.

Dugu Bo's lips twitched incessantly, as if he too was regretting that the price he had paid was too high.

Bai He, the patriarch of the Min clan, was very satisfied with his performance in the negotiations after seeing the two men's actions. He smiled and saw Fang Tian and his companion off.

"Haha!" After Fang Tian and Dugu Bo had walked ten miles, Dugu Bo finally couldn't help but burst into laughter.

They were already quite far away, and both of them possessed strong mental abilities, so they easily detected that there was no one around.

"Alright, old poisoner, they don't even know what a rare herb is, it's perfectly normal for us to snag it! No need to get so excited." Fang Tian smiled, but his words were very Versailles-like.

"Haha! Of course I know, but I can't help but feel happy!" Dugu Bo remained noncommittal about Fang Tian's Versailles.

"Let's hurry back. I guess you want to take the immortal herb as soon as possible," Fang Tian suggested.

"Yes, let's go! We need to get back as soon as possible. The thought of consuming the immortal herb makes my heart race with excitement."

The two leaped into the air and quickly headed towards Soto City.

"Old Poisoner, calm yourself down now and take the immortal herb. I also want to see what your martial soul will look like after it evolves."

Fang Tian and Dugu Bo quickly arrived at Soto City and went to the secret room where Dugu Bo usually cultivated. Fang Tian took out the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng and handed it to Dugu Bo.

"Hmm!" Dugu Bo tried to calm himself down before taking the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng.

Refining the immortal herb was naturally a safe and uneventful task for Dugu Bo, who was already at level 94.

Three hours later, Dugu Bo stood up with a joyful expression and then released his martial spirit.

"Clang!" A dragon's roar resounded, and the martial soul that had completed its evolution manifested.
