Chapter 1220

“One million… Hehe.” Li Younan chuckled lightly, looking nonchalant. He looked at Fang Tianzhong and said, “Brother Fang, do you think this Red Candle Fruit pulp is only worth one million？ If so, then Li will take his leave！”

“Five million！” Fang Tianzhong’s expression remained unchanged, but the price he offered directly increased fivefold.

Li Younan put down the foot he had raised, revealing a hint of excitement.

This time, although his Medicine Pill Sect failed to snatch the Red Candle Fruit, if each of the forces that snatched the Red Candle Fruit gave him five million, the gain from this trip would not be small.

Moreover, the value of the cut Red Candle Fruit pulp is not that amazing anymore.

So for a while, he hesitated there, wondering in his heart whether he should continue to raise the price.

Just as he was deep in thought, on the side of the Glazed Door, Yin Sudie suddenly cast her beautiful eyes towards Dai Yuan, and then her red lips wriggled a few times. It seemed that she was sending a voice transmission to Dai Yuan and saying something.

Dai Yuan’s beautiful eyebrows furrowed, and a hint of displeasure emerged on her face, but she also sent a voice transmission back.

The next moment, a happy expression filled Yin Sudie’s charming face, and she giggled and said, “Several senior brothers continue to discuss, and little sister will take her leave first.”

As she spoke like this, she actually led several elites of the Glazed Door and quickly left.

Everyone was extremely surprised because just now, Yin Sudie also snatched a piece of pulp with the ribbon-like secret treasure in her hand in a imposing manner. Unexpectedly, she would leave without obtaining the preservation method.

However, soon, everyone understood.

Among those present, in terms of proficiency in the pharmacological path, apart from Li Younan this elite disciple from the Medicine Pill Gate, there was also a Dai Yuan! It seemed that Yin Sudie had learned some information from Dai Yuan, so she simply withdrew.

Possessing a precious treasure, Yin Sudie naturally didn’t want to stay in this place full of troubles any longer.

For a moment, several people cast scorching gazes at Dai Yuan, seemingly wanting to learn from her how to properly preserve the medicinal efficacy of the Red Candle Fruit.

Seeing this, Li Younan knew that if he didn’t agree anymore, the five million would have nothing to do with him. He was depressed before and actually forgot the existence of Dai Yuan. Although this woman came from the Glazed Sect, due to some special reasons, she had been researching the way of pharmacology. So she must also know the method to preserve the Red Candle Fruit. With annoyance, he quickly nodded to Fang Tianzhong and said, “Alright, five million is five million. I’ll follow Brother Fang’s words！”

Fang Tianzhong gently nodded. He didn’t mean to go back on his word. Li Younan quickly transmitted his voice a few words. Fang Tianzhong thought for a moment and then silently led the people of the Lei Tai Sect and left quickly.

On the other side, Qu Changfeng and the rough-looking but astonishingly imposing big man hesitated for a while and also transmitted their voices to Li Younan and said something. Then they all left contentedly.

“Let’s go too.” Wei Guchang grinned. He also got a piece of the red candle fruit pulp. Although there were very few people from the Shadow Moon Palace this time, only him and Dong Xuan’er. But when luck came, it really couldn’t be stopped. Originally, he didn’t have much hope, but he didn’t expect that when the disciple of the Xingdi Sect cut open the red candle fruit, a piece of pulp flew in front of him and was immediately put away by him. It was extremely simple and easy. Compared with what others fought and killed to seize one of them, his luck was overwhelming.

It seemed that the bad luck since entering the third layer of the Flowing Flame Sand Land had dissipated all at once.

And since Dai Yuan and Dong Xuan’er had a close relationship, she naturally wouldn’t be stingy about telling the preservation method. He really didn’t need to make any deal with Li Younan.

“Brother Wei, wait a moment！” When Li Younan saw that he was also about to leave, he quickly spoke up to stop him.

“What, does Brother Li have any instructions？” Wei Guchang’s footsteps paused, and he suddenly looked back, his face gloomy. His strength was secretly gathering, ready to make a move at any time.

Seeing his appearance as if facing a formidable enemy, Li Younan immediately knew that the other party had misunderstood him and kept waving his hand and said, “Brother Wei, there is no need to be so nervous. Although I haven’t dealt with Brother Wei many times, I’m not a cunning person. Brother Wei should know this.

Upon hearing this, the vigilance on Wei Guchang’s face relaxed slightly, and he nodded gently and said, “Of course Wei knows Brother Li’s character, but… hehe, this place is not a place to stay for a long time.”

As he spoke like this, he casually swept around. All around, those many martial artists who got nothing in this scramble for the Red Candle Fruit were all staring at Wei Guchang, as if considering whether they should take action now to keep him.

Seeing this, Li Younan raised his voice and said, “Everyone, don’t be impatient. If it was a complete Red Candle Fruit, it would still be worth everyone’s scramble, but now, the Red Candle Fruit has been cut into several pieces, and Brother Wei has only obtained one of them. It’s not known how much medicinal effect it can have. Are you going to provoke a powerful enemy for such an uncertain thing?

Li Younan actually spoke for Wei Guchang and pulled him out of this whirlpool of right and wrong, which made Wei Guchang’s expression extremely strange.

“Brother Li, I just want to ask one thing. Can the cut Red Candle Fruit have the medicinal effect to allow a Void Returning Realm powerhouse to break through the shackles？” A young man in a white shirt frowned and asked. On the chest position of the white shirt on the young man, a white cloud was embroidered.

This is the sect logo of the Misty Palace.

“Brother Tang asked a good question.” Li Younan nodded. “However, I’m afraid I can’t answer this question. Because even for something like the Red Candle Fruit, I’ve only heard of it. This is the first time I’ve seen it with my own eyes. I believe that even my master can’t give a definite answer to this question. But the medicinal effect of the Red Candle Fruit itself is that it may allow a Void Returning Realm powerhouse to break through their own shackles, just maybe. Now that it has been divided into several parts, this possibility… Presumably, without me saying, Brother Tang should also be clear.”

The young man surnamed Tang from the Misty Palace frowned and contemplated for a while, then nodded and said, “I see. Farewell!”

After saying that, he immediately led the disciples of the Misty Palace and left.

When the martial artists of other forces saw that Tang Yongyi of the Misty Palace no longer had any thoughts about the Red Candle Fruit, they couldn’t help but sigh secretly in their hearts and left this place one after another.

Soon, only the people from the Medicine Pill Sect and the Shadow Moon Palace were left in the valley.

Wei Guchang looked at Li Younan with a half-smile. From beginning to end, he didn’t say a word. It was just that the smile was full of deep meaning. He didn’t believe that Li Younan would help him for no reason. The other party obviously had some plans to do so. But since the other party didn’t say anything, Wei Guchang wasn’t stupid enough to ask by himself.

“Now Brother Wei can have a good talk with me, right？” Li Younan looked at Wei Guchang with a sense of complacency, as if he felt that it was a great ability to send everyone away with just a few words.

“Brother Li, if you have anything to say, just say it.” Wei Guchang nodded slightly.

“I want to ask, does Brother Wei have the intention to sell that piece of Red Candle Fruit pulp？” Li Younan no longer beat around the bush and asked directly.

“Sell？” Wei Guchang’s eyes shrank, “Does Brother Li want to buy？”

“That’s right.” Li Younan nodded seriously.

Wei Guchang chuckled and said, “Didn’t Brother Li just say that this piece of Red Candle Fruit pulp is not as valuable as before. I wonder why Brother Li wants to buy such a thing？”

Li Younan shook his head upon hearing this and said solemnly, “Even though the value of this piece of Red Candle Fruit pulp is not as great as before, it is after all an otherworldly spiritual fruit that appears only once in ten thousand years. Our Medicine and Pill Sect has always been dedicated to the research of various spiritual herbs and medicines. The refining of pills, now that such an opportunity is right in front of us, if I don’t do something, I’m afraid that when I return to the Medicine and Pill Sect, I will definitely be punished by the elders. After buying it back, maybe it can allow the elders in the sect to research something and it’s not impossible for the alchemy technique to increase greatly. Of course, if Brother Wei is willing to sell this piece of Red Candle Fruit pulp to me, I can guarantee that not only can I represent the Medicine and Pill Sect to give the Shadow Moon Palace sufficient remuneration, but I can even promise Brother Wei on behalf of the five elders in the sect to make pills for you for free five times！”

Wei Guchang originally had a disapproving look, but after hearing the last condition, his complexion immediately changed and the words he had prepared to refuse couldn’t be said.

After all, the medicinal effect of the Red Candle Fruit is only a rumor. No one knows exactly how valuable it is. Maybe it has no value at all after being cut open, but the opportunity for the five elders of the Medicine and Pill Sect to make pills is extremely rare.

Over the years, those five elders have rarely made pills. Every time they make a move, it is only because other forces have spent a huge price to invite them.

After such a comparison, Wei Guchang is rather hard to choose.

But very quickly, he said, “Brother Li. Even if I don’t say it, I think you also know that this kind of thing is not something I can decide. If you really want to buy this piece of Red Candle Fruit pulp in my hand for the Medicine Pill Sect, it’s better to wait until we leave the Flowing Flame Sandy Land. Let the seniors of the Medicine Pill Sect come to the Shadow Moon Palace to negotiate in person. Whatever we two say here is useless.”

“This Li Mou naturally knows.” Seeing that Wei Guchang didn’t flatly reject it and there seemed to be a lot of room for negotiation, Li Younan couldn’t help but look happy and said, “Since that’s the case, then let’s wait until the Flowing Flame Sandy Land closes. Let the elders of our two sects discuss it.”

“That’s the best.” Wei Guchang also nodded in satisfaction, “If Brother Li has nothing else to do, then I’ll take my leave first.”

“Brother Wei, please！” Li Younan smiled warmly and of course wouldn’t stop him.

After there was no one else in the valley, Li Younan’s face gradually became solemn, looking at a certain place in the valley. There, there was a corpse with a withered body as if it had been dead for many years.

This was exactly a junior brother he had sent out to secretly collect the Red Candle Platform before, but at this moment, this junior brother didn’t know what kind of evil hand he had suffered and died so miserably and even his spatial ring had disappeared without a trace.

Li Younan’s face was extremely gloomy, and he didn’t mention the matter of this junior brother. Suddenly, he stomped his foot and said, “Let’s go, go back to the sect！”

“Huh？ Brother Li, are we going back now？ There are still two or three months until the closure of the Flowing Flame Sandy Land.” One of the women looked at Li Younan in surprise.

“There’s no need to stay anymore. The area of natural treasures on the second floor has been searched countless times by those people. The third floor is full of crises, and I’m afraid all the good things have already been found by others. We should go back quickly and report the matter of the Red Candle Fruit to see if we can gain some and let our uncles go to those forces earlier to negotiate the purchase of the Red Candle Fruit pulp.”

“Oh.”

Li Younan sneered softly again： “Even if they snatch the Red Candle Fruit pulp, in the end, they will probably come to ask our Medicine Pill Sect. Regarding the understanding of this kind of thing, except for our Medicine Pill Sect, others don’t know much and definitely dare not use it rashly. So, we still have the upper hand.”

After hearing what he said, the disciples of the Medicine Pill Sect who didn’t get any benefits all had their expressions shaken. The previous depression and haze were all thrown to the back of their minds, and they all smiled brightly, as if they had suddenly found the great value of their sect’s existence.
