Chapter 127: Pan Yuan's Invitation

Old Man opened a Jade vial, revealing a collection of middle-grade Condensing Qi Pills. Another bottle contained low-grade Condensing Qi Pills, and to their surprise, a third bottle held three Barrier Breaking Pills.

Opening yet another Jade Box, they found ten Spirit Herbs inside. Another box, and it was still more Spirit Herbs.

After a thorough count, most were first-tier Elixirs, accompanied by some first-tier Spiritual Herbs. While individually not highly valuable, their abundance was noteworthy.

"How do you have so many Elixirs on you?" the cultivator named Zhang couldn't help but ask.

"What items I carry on me don't seem to concern Fellow Daoist Zhang, right?" the Old Man replied.

"Is Fellow Daoist an Alchemist?" inquired the Old Man.

Only an Alchemist would carry such an array of Elixirs, and even among Alchemists, few possessed such a quantity.

Some of these Elixirs were refined by Zhang Chunfeng, while others were crafted by Wang Hong, combined and presented by Zhang Chunfeng.

"Indeed, these Elixirs are what I've accumulated over several years," Wang Hong admitted.

"According to my estimate, this batch of Elixirs and Spirit Herbs is worth four hundred thousand Spirit Stones. However, for exchange purposes, we can only consider ninety percent, which amounts to three hundred and sixty thousand Spirit Stones. Do you two have any objections?"

Both individuals expressed no disagreement.

With confirmation, the cultivator named Zhang reluctantly compensated Zhang Chunfeng with thirty thousand Spirit Stones.

The auction continued.

"I bid three hundred and ten thousand!" Zhang bid again.

"Three hundred and twenty thousand!" This time, Zhang Chunfeng didn't withdraw but continued to raise the stakes.

"Three hundred and thirty thousand!"

Finally, a Foundation Building cultivator in the front row secured the lot for three hundred and fifty thousand Spirit Stones.

Demonic Beasts possessed a physique and digestive capacity far superior to humans. Currently, if Wang Hong continuously fed it Elixirs, it could consume around ten first-tier Elixirs a day without any issues.

This was something humans couldn't compare to. Human strength lay in intelligence, learning, and creative abilities, not physical bodies.

At this moment, a Message Transmission symbol arrived from outside. Taking a look, Wang Hong discovered fellow sect members had come to visit.

Opening the door, he saw two figures in black and purple standing outside.

Wang Hong recognized both, though they were not very familiar.

In a purple robe was Pan Yuan, who had successfully reached Foundation Building not long ago. Previously, he had sought to buy Spirit Bee Honey from Wang Hong on credit, but the deal fell through.

The other person was named Qiao Yun, currently at the eighth level of Qi Cultivation. They had minimal interaction, more of acquaintances than friends.

"Senior Brother Pan, Junior Brother Qiao, what brings you here today?"

"Wang Senior Brother, now that Senior Brother Pan has successfully reached Foundation Building, addressing him as Senior Brother would be more appropriate, wouldn't it disrupt the hierarchy?" Qiao Yun reminded Wang Hong.

"Junior Brother Qiao makes sense. We shouldn't disrupt the hierarchy. However, I am Elder Gu's disciple, and Senior Brother Pan and I are of the same seniority." Wang Hong directly changed Junior Brother Qiao to Junior Brother Qiao.

"Junior Brother Wang, let's address each other as peers. No need for these formalities. I came here today to seek Senior Brother Wang's help," Pan Yuan spoke up.

"I wonder what Senior Brother Pan needs my help with. If it's beyond the capabilities of Senior Brother Pan's Foundation Building cultivation level, I may not be of much assistance."

Wang Hong had no good impressions of this Senior Brother Pan and instinctively preferred not to deal with him.

"Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. Junior Brother Wang, how can you underestimate yourself? Your feats in the secret realm were well-known to all!"

Pan Yuan praised Wang Hong generously, creating an instinctive feeling that Senior Brother Pan had an ulterior motive.

"Well, I found several East Departure Grass in a secluded place, but there's a group of Demonic Insects nearby, and I'm helpless. I heard Junior Brother Wang has a formidable group of Poisonous Bees, so I wanted to ask for help in restraining the Demonic Insects. Once I collect the Spiritual Herb, I will surely share a few East Departure Grass with Junior Brother Wang."

Wang Hong had previously asked Zhang Chunfeng to inquire about East Departure Grass, and it seemed Pan Yuan got wind of it. Now, he intended to lure Wang Hong with East Departure Grass, undoubtedly harboring some hidden motives.

Wang Hong wondered if it was a scheme by Shadow Kill, intentionally luring him out of the Sect, making him an easy target for assassination.
