Chapter 2176
by“Hmm, this is indeed a possible situation. It was my oversight.” Lan Xun’s expression froze when she heard this. After thinking for a while, she smiled and said, “This is also easy to handle. If such a situation really occurs, then compare the medicinal ages. Whoever takes out the one with a higher medicinal age, Brother Yang will use theirs!”
“Good idea!” Zhuang Bufan nodded seriously. “The higher the medicinal age, the more powerful the medicinal effect will surely be, and there is also a chance to improve the alchemy.”
“If everyone thinks it’s okay, then…” Lan Xun looked at everyone with a smile, waiting for a reply.
“I have no objection. It’s about gambling on luck. Everyone is the same!” Finally, someone spoke up first. To everyone’s surprise, it was Wu Chang. He seemed very interested in this proposal.
“Well, I like this proposal. I have no objection either!” Xia Sheng shrugged his shoulders.
“Just do as the princess said.” Zhuang Bufan also said.
These three people spoke up one after another and said they had no objections. Even if the others had objections, they didn’t dare to say them. Moreover, this proposal was put forward by Lan Xun. Refuting at this time was not equivalent to refuting Lan Xun’s face… The princess was gentle, but Xiao Chen was not so easy to deal with.
Immediately, the caliber of everyone was unified and they all said that Lan Xun’s proposal was very good and they all expressed their approval.
“Thank you all for giving me face!” Lan Xun saw that everyone had agreed, and then she pursed her lips and smiled. She looked at Yang Kai and said, “Brother Yang, now you can say what the last medicinal material you need is.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent and looked at Yang Kai. Many people even had a hint of anticipation and nervousness on their faces. After all, this was a completely luck-based opportunity. Once Yang Kai reported the medicinal material that he happened to have, there would be a great chance to get a Taimiao Pill.
That was a spiritual pill that basically led directly to the imperial prestige. Who could not be tempted?
Dong dong, dong dong, and even the intense sound of heartbeats could be heard from the chests of many people.
Under the gaze of the crowd, Yang Kai slowly raised a palm and said loudly, “I need a Blood Jade Mushroom with at least five thousand years of age!”
“Blood Jade Mushroom… it’s also a rare medicinal herb.” Lan Xun said upon hearing this. Her beautiful eyebrows raised, and she pursed her lips and smiled. Looking around, she said, “I wonder which of you has what Brother Yang needs? If you can provide it, it’s equivalent to obtaining a Supreme Wonderful Pill. The opportunity is rare and hard to come by!”
In her words, it seemed that she had great confidence in Yang Kai, as if as long as the medicinal materials were gathered, Yang Kai would surely be able to refine it successfully.
No one knew where her confidence came from.
As her voice fell, many people immediately showed disappointment, obviously not having the Blood Jade Mushroom. However, a few martial artists were immersed in their thoughts, rummaging through their spatial rings…
“Hahaha…” Suddenly, a burst of laughter came out.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man with the cultivation of the second level of the Dao Source Realm over there, laughing excitedly and dancing with joy. When he saw the gaze of the crowd, his expression changed in surprise. He quickly restrained his laughter, and the expression on his face instantly became extremely wonderful.
“Could this friend have found something?” Lan Xun looked at that person with a smile.
The man immediately leaped out from where he was standing, suppressing the excitement and excitement deep in his heart, and replied with a serious face: “Thanks to the blessing of Her Royal Highness the Princess, I do have a stalk of Green Blood Ganoderma here!”
“Oh?” Lan Xun’s beautiful eyebrows raised, and she was also a little happy and said: “Quickly take it out and show it.”
The man hesitated slightly, and Lan Xun understood, and immediately said: “Don’t worry, what I said will definitely count. If you really have the medicinal materials that Brother Yang needs, you will definitely get one of the Taomiao Pills refined!”
“Thank you, Her Royal Highness the Princess!” The man was waiting for Lan Xun’s words. After listening, he no longer hesitated and immediately took out a stalk of about half a foot long from his spatial ring. The whole body was green and red, like a ganoderma made of poured blood.
“Sure enough, it’s Green Blood Ganoderma!” Yang Kai took a look and knew that the other party was not faking it, and quickly said: “Bring it here for me to see.”
The man held the Green Blood Ganoderma with both hands, and his body couldn’t help but tremble slightly. What he was holding seemed not an elixir, but his own bright future, for fear of accidentally dropping it on the ground and smashing it to pieces.
When he came to Yang Kai, he carefully handed the Green Blood Ganoderma into Yang Kai’s hands before standing still nervously and expectantly.
“Lucky bastard!”
“Why didn’t such a good opportunity fall on my head?”
“The heavens envy the talented! Damned heavens, I’m not convinced!”
……
Voices chattered from all around, some filled with envy, some with hatred, and some with admiration, all kinds of emotions.
And upon hearing these discussions, that person couldn’t help but feel a bit complacent, with a proud expression on his face.
“This is indeed the Green Blood Ganoderma lucidum…” Suddenly, Yang Kai furrowed his brows and said, “But its age is insufficient. It’s only about three thousand years old, a big difference.”
“What?” Upon hearing this, that person’s complexion changed drastically. He widened his eyes and stared at Yang Kai, stuttering and shouting, “You… you… what did you say? You… you look more carefully…”
“No need to look.” As Yang Kai spoke, he had already returned the Green Blood to the other party and said, “Every thousand years, the color of the Green Blood will change slightly. Although the one you took out is also mature Green Blood and is sufficient for refining most elixirs, it cannot be used for the Supreme Wonderful Pill. I’m really sorry to disappoint you.”
“Impossible!” That person exclaimed in a voice.
The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. He had originally thought that a Supreme Wonderful Pill was within easy reach, but who would have thought that things would turn out like this at a crucial moment. How could he accept it?
“Look carefully again!” He stared at Yang Kai persistently.
Yang Kai said, “If you don’t trust me, you might as well ask someone else to take a look. I think there should be someone here who can also distinguish the age of the medicine.”
As soon as his voice fell, Zhuang Bufan loudly shouted, “This friend, I am Zhuang Bufan from Wuhua Palace. Although my understanding of pharmacology is not as good as Brother Yang’s, I have dabbled in it to some extent. If you trust me, how about letting me take a look?”
“Trust! Trust!” Hearing this, that person immediately rushed in the front of Zhuang Bufan and handed the Green Blood to him.
Compared to Yang Kai, an unknown nobody, Zhuang Bufan’s great name was naturally thunderous in his ears. The words spoken by the other party also carried authority, so he did not hesitate to place his hopes on Zhuang Bufan, expecting Zhuang Bufan to overthrow Yang Kai’s previous view.
While he was waiting, Zhuang Bufan had carefully observed the Green Blood ganoderma. Not only that, he also took a deep sniff of the medicinal qi of this spirit medicine, and at the same time, used his fingernails to take a little powder and send it into his mouth to taste.
His movements were methodical and extremely skillful, and it was obvious at a glance that this was not his first time doing such a thing.
Moments later, Zhuang Bufan slowly shook his head. While returning the Green Blood to the other party, he said “Brother Yang’s research on medicinal materials is indeed much deeper than mine. Just by looking at it, he can know its age. I admire him extremely… Friend, your Green Blood Ganoderma lucidum indeed only has a thousand-year-old age.
“How could it be like this?” The man muttered to himself with a disappointed look on his face. He was extremely sad.
When Yang Kai said that this Green Blood only had a medicinal age of three thousand years he didn’t really believe it. But when Zhuang Bufan said the same thing, he couldn’t help but believe it.
The martial artists who had previously been envious and jealous of this person couldn’t help but feel a sense of schadenfreude at this moment…
There are so many people here. Isn’t there anyone else who has Green Blood? Yang Kai turned his head and looked around, shouting loudly.
No one responded!
Yang Kai let out a sigh.
“Brother Yang, if we use that three-thousand-year-old Green Blood to refine…” Lan Xun furrowed her brows and looked at him.
“It’s just a waste!” Yang Kai replied. “Her Royal Highness should know that the more precious the spiritual pill is, the more demanding the requirements for the medicinal materials during the refining process Not to mention that the medicinal age of this Green Blood ganoderma differs by two thousand years. Even if it were a few hundred years it wouldn’t be able to be used as medicine.”
“Sigh…” Lan Xun let out a soft sigh. Of course she knew what Yang Kai said. She was just asking with a glimmer of hope.
“It’s fate!” Xia Sheng suddenly said, “Green Blood Ganoderma is not a common spiritual medicine. It’s already good to have one here. How could there be a second one? It seems that we still have to fight for it with our own means!
“Actually…” Lan Xun had a embarrassed expression on her face and said helplessly: “I do have a Green Blood, and it should meet Brother Yang’s requirements.”
“Huh?” Xiao Chen was shocked upon hearing this and said, “Then why didn’t Your Highness the Princess take it out?”
Yang Kai also looked at Lan Xun in surprise, a thoughtful expression flashing across his face. Soon, he grinned and cupped his fists, saying, “Your Highness the Princess is highly moral, and Yang is impressed!”
In this moment, he understood the reason why Lan Xun had been hesitant to take out her own Azure Blood.
It wasn’t that Lan Xun was reluctant…
She was the daughter of the Bright Moon Great Emperor. Even if an elixir was precious, what was there for her to be reluctant about? She didn’t take it out probably because she wanted to give the opportunity to others, so she repeatedly confirmed with others.
But in the end, there was really no other way, so she could only stand up.
Probably when she put forward that proposal earlier, she didn’t expect that the thing Yang Kai needed happened to be what she had.
The people present were not fools either. After hearing Yang Kai’s words, they just thought about it a little and understood the ins and outs of the matter. For a while, they couldn’t help but look at Lan Xun with respectful eyes and admiration.
Lan Xun’s cheeks flushed slightly, making her look even more stunning and eye-catching.
“Well, I can take out the Azure Blood, but the Supreme Wonderful Pill we talked about before… I don’t want it anymore.” Lan Xun pursed her red lips and said.
“How can this be?” Xiao Chen was the first to jump out and object.
“You shut up!” Lan Xun frowned and scolded him, “It’s my own thing, and I have the right to deal with it!”
Xiao Chen opened his mouth, but really didn’t dare to speak. His face turned with frustration and depression.
“Your Highness the Princess is wrong.” Xia Sheng smiled slightly and said, “Since it was agreed upon before, what should be obtained by Your Highness the Princess should naturally be given to you. If you forcefully refuse, wouldn’t it be equivalent to making all those who get the spiritual medicine later owe you a favor? After all, no one knows whether the spiritual medicine they get originally belongs to you. This deal is a big loss, and Xia Mou won’t do it!”
