176: Chapter 176: The Fourth Medicinal Herb 176: Chapter 176: The Fourth Medicinal Herb This... Is this even a magical artifact anymore? While everyone was shocked, they also understood why Bai Xiaofan had just casually thrown it out just now. “That price?” Murong Zhantian also desired it greatly and asked quietly. As for the matter of being used as a guinea pig by Bai Xiaofan for an experiment just moments ago, he had already forgotten all about it. “How much for this golden little sword? My Jade Talisman is worth twice that. Is that acceptable?” Bai Xiaofan pointed at Huang Shi, who was still in a daze. “A Foundation Establishment magical artifact should sell for at least twenty million. Based on Master Bai’s words, let’s price this Jade Talisman at fifty million!” Master Gu, being the most knowledgeable about the market, contemplated for a moment before speaking. And in Master Gu’s heart, he had already decided that no matter what, he needed to make connections with Bai Xiaofan. Anyone who could first produce a Spiritual Medicine like the Gathering Yuan Pill and then take out a miraculous artifact like the Jade Talisman, would be foolish not to cultivate a relationship with. Fifty million? Bai Xiaofan was truly startled by this astonishing figure, especially when he saw that Huang Qianlong and the others showed no surprise upon hearing the price. In his heart, Bai Xiaofan couldn’t help but think, “Damn, wealthy people’s thoughts are really frightening.” “Fifty million is fair. I’ll buy it!” Huang Qianlong nodded his head. Although his grandson’s golden sword had been destroyed by Bai Xiaofan, settling this grudge for now, he was determined to buy the Jade Talisman today. “You’re buying? What are you buying? I want to buy it too!” Jiang Qianhe spoke with strong confidence, not caring that Huang Qianlong was the Clan Leader of one of the three great families in Jiang Province. Didn’t he see how close Bai Xiaofan was with his daughter? With Bai Xiaofan’s current strength, could there be no more significant existence backing him? “Unfortunately, I also wish to purchase this Jade Talisman!” Master Gu said with a light smile. Although he didn’t have the Huang family as a backing like Huang Qianlong, nor the support of the Cry Blood Gang like Jiang Qianhe had, he was an expert at the peak of Qi Cultivation, and he could afford fifty million, especially when he could trade other items with Bai Xiaofan. Murong Zhantian had not voiced his opinion, but the way he unblinkingly fixated on the Jade Talisman in Bai Xiaofan’s hands made his intentions clear. “What do we do then? There’s only one item, but there are four people. How do we split it?” Huang Shi had just snapped back to reality, his hatred for Bai Xiaofan nearly spilling over, but his greed for the Jade Talisman was also apparent. “If it’s fifty million, then I only want ten million in cash. I hope to trade the remaining forty million for medicinal materials,” Bai Xiaofan had anticipated this and calmly looked at the people around him. “Medicinal materials? What medicinal materials are worth forty million?” Murong Zhantian asked, puzzled. “One Ice Crystal Snow Lotus, one meter of Cold Jade Silkworm Thread, one Seven-star Lingzhi, one five-hundred-year-old North Sea Sea Cucumber...” Bai Xiaofan smiled slightly, already treating the people in front of him as wealthy landowners. He paused for a moment before continuing, “And one last medicinal material, should someone be able to produce it, I’m willing to gift them an extra Gathering Yuan Pill!” “What medicinal material?” The last medicinal material and the additional pledge of a Gathering Yuan Pill made Master Gu the first to ask impatiently. If a Gathering Yuan Pill would give him an eighty percent chance of reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage, then with two pills, his chances would nearly touch ninety percent... Huang Qianlong and the others were also staring intensely at Bai Xiaofan, eager to find out what this last medicinal ingredient was that warranted such a high price. “The fourth tail of a Four-tailed Fox!” Boom! Bai Xiaofan’s words exploded in everyone’s ears like thunder from the ninth heaven. The fourth tail of a four-tailed fox... Firstly, the four-tailed fox is already rarely seen, even within the cultivation world, not to mention its fourth tail. The cultivation level of a four-tailed fox is equivalent to that of a human at the Foundation Establishment Stage, and the fourth tail consolidates eighty percent of the fox’s cultivation, making it exceptionally vital. No wonder... No wonder Bai Xiaofan was willing to offer a Gathering Yuan Pill on top of forty million... Upon hearing the first material Bai Xiaofan mentioned, Jiang Qianhe and Murong Zhantian had already given up. Ice Crystal Snow Lotus, they had never even heard of it... “I have the first four materials, but indeed, I do not have the fourth tail of a four-tailed fox. However, I am willing to add twenty million to these materials, just for that Jade Talisman in your hand!” Huang Qianlong pondered for a moment, his gaze burning as he increased his side of the bargain. “I don’t want money, ten million is enough for me to eat spicy hotpot for a lifetime!” Bai Xiaofan shook his head; for him, wealth was far less precious than medicinal materials. As long as he had enough medicinal materials, his cultivation would soar like a rocket. Would he still worry about not having money then? “Although I do not possess the fourth tail of the four-tailed fox either, I believe I have something that can compensate for it!” Master Gu smiled, standing up and gesturing for Bai Xiaofan to join him inside. “Please, everyone, have a seat. Master Bai and I will be back shortly!” Master Gu told Huang Qianlong and the others, then left through the back door with Bai Xiaofan towards the rear courtyard. The backyard was Master Gu’s resting place. Upon entering the room, Master Gu tapped on the wall in a certain pattern, and the wall rotated open. A secret chamber appeared before Bai Xiaofan’s eyes, and Master Gu showed no intention of secrecy throughout the process... “Master Bai, do you recognize this?” They passed through countless treasures to the innermost part of the secret chamber, where Master Gu took out a tail from a wooden box and handed it to Bai Xiaofan. “Is this... the fourth tail of a four-tailed fox?” Bai Xiaofan scanned it with his Divine Sense and looked at Master Gu in surprise. “Yes, the reason I did not mention I had it is because the manner in which I acquired this fox tail is somewhat dubious, and I wish to avoid any trouble with the demon clans!” Master Gu gave a wry smile, knowing what Bai Xiaofan was wondering, and offered a simple explanation. “Thank you, Master Gu. Here is a Gathering Yuan Pill, of even finer quality than the previous one I gave you, enough I believe to aid in your breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage,” Bai Xiaofan said, not prying further, and took out a small porcelain bottle from his robe, handing it to Master Gu. The transaction completed, both men obtained what they desired. As for the other four medicinal ingredients, Master Gu personally packaged them and placed them into Bai Xiaofan’s hands. When the two returned to the presence of the others, Bai Xiaofan handed the Jade Talisman to Master Gu in front of everyone, provoking Huang Qianlong’s envy. The group was curious about what Master Gu had offered to compensate for the tail of the four-tailed fox that led to a trade with Bai Xiaofan, but they also knew that secret was likely beyond their grasp.
