Chapter 154: Obtaining the Blood Lingcao

  When Yafen said this exchange condition with a gentle smile, Xi Po Tian only felt a sudden explosion in his chest. "This Yafen is even more ruthless. He spent 1.8 million gold coins to buy the Blood Lingcao himself, and now he wants another 2.5 million gold coins. That's a total of 4.3 million gold coins! The Xia family and the Wang family only spent over a million gold coins to buy a bottle of spiritual liquid, but I have to spend 4.3 million?"

  For a moment, he stared blankly at Yafen, while Yafen's face showed no other expression, only a faint smile looking at Xi Po Tian, as if Xi Po Tian did not agree to such conditions, then there was no need to discuss it.

  Others also stared at Yafen in shock, whispering to themselves, what a terrifying woman.

  Even Li Tianlun couldn't help but smile as he glanced at Yafen, thinking to himself: "This is really interesting!"

  Xia Yan heard Yafen mention the Blood Lingcao, and his heart couldn't help but stir, "If we can exchange for the Blood Lingcao, then there's no need to make another deal with that Cloak Man."

  The elixir now belongs to Yafen, and Xia Yan naturally can't say anything. Everything depends on how Yafen exchanges it.

  Taking a few deep breaths, Xi Po Tian's emotions gradually calmed down, and he forced out an extremely ugly smile on his stiff face. "Miss Yafen, this Blood Lingcao was bought with 180,000 gold coins."

  Yafen seemed to have anticipated what he would say, and smiled calmly, waving her snow-white fingers. "Xizong, the value of this Blood Lingcao is not worth 1.8 million. Even if you bought it with 10 million gold coins, it has nothing to do with me."

  "Haha……" Xi Po Tian laughed twice, "Miss Yafen is right, this Blood Lingcao is not worth 180,000. It's just that Miss Yafen, the condition you proposed is a bit high, I wonder if it's possible to lower the amount of gold coins?"

  Now, Xi Po Tian can only haggle like this.

  Yafen's eyebrows furrowed, and she pondered for a moment. As Yafen hesitated, Xipo Tian gazed at her with tense eyes.

  "Alright, I'll give in to the face of the Xie family head." Yafen chuckled, "So, it's 2.4 million gold coins, plus that Blood Ling Grass!"

  Two hundred and forty thousand, plus the Blood Lingcao, the total value is also over three hundred thousand.

  "Miss Ya Fen, how about 200,000 gold coins plus the Blood Lingcao?" Xi Po Tian said with a flattering tone, his eyes flashing.

  At this time, he didn't have the leisure to care whether others would laugh at him or not.

  By his side, there were not only a few temple attendants, but also many celebrities from the Jade Water City, some of whom were heads of powerful families and clans. Even, there were celebrities from other counties and lower towns.

  In front of everyone, Xi Po Tian was able to haggle over prices like this, it's really admirable.

  "This guy is really something, he's not simple at all. He must have been furious for a long time, but he can still endure it like this. In order to get the spiritual liquid, he doesn't even care about the face of the clan leader. No wonder, in these years, the Xi family has not declined under his leadership!" Xia Yan thought to himself.

  "Alright, the auction is over, let's conclude this trade quickly. 220,000 gold coins plus the Blood Ling Grass, don't mention anything else. If you're not willing, then forget it, after all, I, Yafen, might need to use this spirit liquid one day." Yafen raised her beautiful eyes and set the final condition.

  "Alright, let's go with Miss Ya Fen's words!" Xi Po Tian didn't hesitate this time and smiled as he said so.

  In this case, it's equivalent to Shi Po Tian buying the last bottle of Spiritual Liquid, but the gold coins spent exceeded 300,000.

  Everyone in the venue couldn't help but sigh at this result. This Patriarch of the Shi family is really quite unlucky.

  The auction has officially ended, and those who have won items have paid the required gold coins and taken their items away.

  Xia Yan's last bottle of spiritual liquid was also given to Yafen, and Yafen exchanged it with Xi Po Tian for 220,000 gold tickets and a Blood Lingcao.

  "Ling Luo, it's almost noon now, why don't we have lunch together?" Yafen invited Xia Yan.

  Xia Yan's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and she thought to herself, "It's not too late to get the 22 types of medicinal materials from Mo Kai after dinner. It just so happens that we can prepare the medicine in the afternoon, and then use it tonight to test its effectiveness."

  "Okay, where does Miss Ya Fen want to go?" Xia Yan asked with a smile.

  "Ah, let's go to the Jufu Building then. The wine house is near the square, not far from here, and it won't delay Mr. Lingluo for too long." Yafen nodded slightly, holding a huge sum of 2.2 million gold tickets in her hand, as well as that high-grade medicinal herb, Bloodling Grass, which was entirely crimson like fresh blood.

  Jufu Building, Xia Yan had only been there once when Wang Yu Yan invited him last time, and the dishes there were indeed good.

  After some thought, Xia Yan nodded in agreement.

  "Little friend, it seems you no longer need this Blood Lingcao of mine. Hehe, I'll take my leave first. Perhaps we'll meet again someday." The hooded figure's voice once again entered Xia Yan's ears like the quiet buzzing of a mosquito.

  Xia Yan was shocked by the sound and hastily looked around.

  The auction house was almost empty now, and that mysterious figure in a cloak had also vanished.

  "This mysterious old man in a cloak is definitely not an ordinary person. Only, I don't know when I'll see him again. Perhaps, he's an alchemist!" Without seeing the old man's shadow, Xia Yan knew that the old man had already left.

  Xian summer frowned and looked around, her behavior was strange. Yafen also looked around the auction house before speaking up: "Mr. Ling Luo, what are you looking at?"

  Xia Yan busily smiled and said, "That hooded person just now, did you notice? I suddenly thought he was strange, so I looked to see if he had left. Now it seems like he should have already gone."

  Yafen suddenly looked surprised and smiled: "That person, I have never seen before, should not be from our Yushui City, do not know where he came from."

  ……

  The two men left the auction house and went straight to the first wine house in Yushui City, Jufulou.

  From the auction house to Jufu Building, it is just across the Central Square.

  In less than half a cup of tea's time, they arrived at the gate of Jufu Building.

  The several attendants in front of the door of the Jifu Building saw Yafen and paid their respects. However, they did not recognize Xia Yan who was beside Yafen. Even if Xia Yan didn't wear a mask, it would be hard for them to recognize him, as these people were not the same attendants that Xia Yan met last time he came.

  Xia Yan did not carry a weapon today, so naturally he didn't need to remove his sword.

  He and Yafen entered the Jufu Building, although it was already nearly noon, but not yet at the time when most people were accustomed to eating, so only about half of the guests were seated in the first floor hall. If they had arrived right during mealtime, this first floor hall would have been almost fully packed.

  "Miss Yafen!"

  The manager of the wine house, Wang Fu, quickly came over with a smile and enthusiastically shouted from afar.

  Xia Yan also knew Wang Fu, last time outside the door, Wang Fu insisted that he and Li Yuanchun put down their swords, in the end it was Zhang Yun who happened to arrive on time, only then did Xia Yan and Li Yuanchun enter.

  Recalling the scene at that time, Xia Yan just smiled and pursed his lips. Actually, this matter couldn't be blamed on Wang Fu, it was just Li Yuanchun's temper that wasn't very good, so they almost got into a fight.

  "Manager Wang Fu!" Yafen smiled sweetly, "Find us a seat, would you?"

  "Hehe, Miss Ya Fen, there are private rooms upstairs, why don't we go to a private room..."

  Wang Fu had not finished speaking when he was interrupted by Yafen, "We're fine in this hall, no need to go up. Is that position reserved for someone?"

  Yafen pointed to a table in the corner.

  Wang Fu glanced around hastily and said: "No, no, Miss Yafen, and this gentleman, please come in!"

  Xia Yan nodded at Wang Fu.

  The two sat down at the table, and Wang Fu even brought over a menu to personally attend to them, asking what they wanted to eat.

  Some guests in the hall saw Yafen and their eyes lit up, but they didn't dare be rude to Yafen.

  Those who can dine at the Jufu Building have some status in Yushui City. Most people here have also been to the Extreme Challenge Arena, so they naturally know Yafen.

  "Huh?" Someone's gaze gathered, "Isn't that Mr. Ling Luo?"

  He said that, and people who had recently been to the Extreme Challenge venue also suddenly woke up with a start. They looked carefully, and indeed it was Mr. Ling Luo.

  "Mr. Ling Luo and Miss Ya Fen had dinner together, they..."

  It was confirmed that Ling Luo was with Ya Fen, and some people started discussing in a low voice.

  Although their voices were not loud, Xia Yan's hearing was extremely sharp. Even if they lowered their voices ten times, Xia Yan could still hear them.

  Listening to their gossip, Xia Yan could only smile.

  "After Wang Fu left, Yafen pushed the Blood Ling Grass and Golden Ticket that she had been holding in her hand to Xia Yan's side."

  "Can something that's been sent out be taken back? However, the Blood Ling Grass is indeed very important to me. In that case, I'll use my Golden Tickets to buy it!" Xia Yan said as he looked at the Blood Ling Grass.

  "Look, so many gold tickets! Oh my god, they're actually 11,000 yuan each!"

  Among the diners, someone had sharp eyes and saw the denomination of the gold ticket, and couldn't help but widen their eyes in surprise.

  "Hmm"

  As soon as he shouted, others also noticed and couldn't help but let out a collective gasp.

  Xia Yan and Ya Fen didn't mind either, as they weren't worried about being robbed here. Moreover, there were only a few people in the entire Jade Water City who had strength above Xia Yan's.

  "Ling Luo, may I ask what you sent me?" Yafen showed a row of white teeth and asked Xia Yan.

  "Huh?" Xia Yan was taken aback, "Essence of Spirit!"

  "That's right, you sent me the spiritual liquid, not the Blood Lingcao and Golden Tickets. Since you gave me a gift, I naturally want to return one. This Blood Lingcao and Golden Tickets are my gifts in return." Yafen said slowly in her delicate voice.

  "Besides, I don't have much use for Blood Ling Grass anyway. As for the Golden Tickets, I really don't lack gold coins, and they're not very useful to me either. But Mr. Ling Luo, you will become an alchemist in the future, and buying various medicinal materials won't be cheap. So, I sincerely ask Mr. Ling Luo not to decline again." As she spoke, Yafen's expression suddenly turned somewhat melancholy, her eyes gazing at Xia Yan with a hint of resentment, "I only hope that in the future, Mr. Ling Luo will not forget Yafen from the Extreme Challenge Arena in Yu Shui City."
