"Lord City Lord, this is what happened." Chen Yu said quickly.

After a while, Chen Yu directly told the person in front of him that Zhang Xiaoshan had a large number of second-grade spiritual herbs.

And this person is none other than the lord of the Heimu City—Zhao Daquan.

"The Cang family is so small, but the people he brought with him actually have so many second-grade spiritual herbs?"

After hearing this, City Lord Zhao was slightly startled and said with a little surprise.

"Lord City Lord, this person also said that in seven days he will bring out 7 second-grade spiritual herbs and exchange them for third-grade spiritual herb seedlings from our Black Dragon Chamber of Commerce."

Chen Yu quickly bowed again and said.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Daquan frowned slightly and fell into a state of deep thought.

He paced back and forth in the study, muttering to himself in a low voice: “It is really shocking that this person can produce more than 200,000 second-grade spiritual herbs.

If I can obtain these second-grade spiritual herbs, the tribute I offer to the Black Valley Sect in the second half of the year will be twice as much as before.

By then, maybe the elders of the Black Valley Sect will transfer me back to the sect, and then I won’t have to stay in Blackwood City anymore.”

Thinking of this, a hint of joy flashed in Zhao Daquan's eyes, and he couldn't help but start thinking about how to get these spiritual herbs into his pocket.

"Lead the way, I want to go meet the Taoist friend Zhang you mentioned."

Zhao Daquan turned his gaze to Chen Yu and said.

"Yes." Chen Yu responded, and then led the way, taking Zhao Daquan towards the backyard of the Black Dragon Chamber of Commerce.

As soon as he stepped into the backyard, Zhao Daquan's eyes were attracted by the scene in the yard.

I saw Master Cangshui and Zhang Xiaoshan sitting leisurely on chairs in the yard, drinking tea leisurely.

Zhao Daquan walked over.

"Meet City Lord Zhao."

Zhenren Cangshui had sharp eyes. When he saw Zhao Daquan coming, he quickly stood up, bowed respectfully and said.

Zhang Xiaoshan also stood up slightly and bowed as a sign of politeness.

Zhao Daquan nodded, his eyes fell directly on Zhang Xiaoshan, completely ignoring Cangshui Zhenren, and said straight to the point: "

I guess you are Fellow Daoist Zhang. According to Shopkeeper Chen, you have a large amount of second-grade spiritual herbs?"

"Yes!"

Zhang Xiaoshan nodded and said calmly, "I currently have 110,000 second-grade spiritual herbs in my hands. I want to exchange them for third-grade spiritual herb seedlings at the Black Dragon Chamber of Commerce. I wonder if I can exchange them today?"

As he spoke, Zhang Xiaoshan gently waved his hand at Master Cangshui.

Master Cangshui immediately understood and handed a storage bag to Zhao Daquan with both hands.

Zhao Daquan took the storage bag and probed his mind into it to check. After a moment, the corners of his mouth turned up and he said with a smile: "One hundred and ten thousand second-grade spiritual herbs, this is a big amount."

After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Daquan said to Chen Yu beside him: "Go and get fifty-five third-grade spiritual grass seedlings."

"Yes." Chen Yu responded, then turned around and hurried out of the yard.

Then, Zhao Daquan stared at Zhang Xiaoshan and said softly, "I heard from Shopkeeper Chen that in seven days, you can still produce 110,000 second-grade spiritual herbs. Is this true or false?"

"Of course it's true." Zhang Xiaoshan said lightly.

Zhao Daquan nodded and continued, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, I see that you are only a cultivator in the early stage of the Nascent Soul, but you have so many second-grade spiritual herbs in your hands. This is really unbelievable for me."

Zhang Xiaoshan said softly, "Lord City Lord, can I produce 110,000 second-grade spiritual herbs, or even more, in seven days? Won't it be revealed then?"

“I, the city lord, have also cultivated some second-grade spiritual herbs, but I can only take out a maximum of 8 second-grade spiritual herbs at one time.

But not only did you produce 7 second-grade spiritual herbs now, you also said that you could produce second-grade spiritual herbs in days."

Zhao Daquan heard this and a hint of hesitation flashed across his face, and he continued, "Could it be that Fellow Daoist Zhang is the young master of a large family, or the patriarch of a large family?

Otherwise, how could you have so many second-grade spiritual herbs?"

“I am neither the young master of a large family nor the head of a family.

As for why I have so many second-grade spiritual herbs, I cannot tell the city lord." Zhang Xiaoshan shook his head slightly and said.

"Lord City Lord, fifty-five third-grade spiritual herb seedlings have arrived."

At this time, Chen Yu came to Zhao Daquan with an exquisite and simple wooden box in his hands and said.

Zhao Daquan waved his hand, and Chen Yu understood what he meant. He walked straight up to Zhang Xiaoshan and presented it respectfully.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, please take a look."

As Chen Yu spoke, he opened the wooden box directly, and saw fifty-five third-grade spiritual herbs shining with spiritual luster, lying quietly inside, emitting charming spiritual light.

"Thank you, Manager Chen, and thank you, Lord City Lord."

Zhang Xiaoshan glanced around, waved his hand, and put the wooden box directly into the storage bag. Then he bowed and said.

"Nothing." Zhao Daquan smiled and said.

"City Lord Zhao, Shopkeeper Chen, if there is nothing else, Master Cangshui and I will take our leave first." Zhang Xiaoshan spoke again.

"Wait a minute." Zhao Daquan raised his hand and said.

"Is there anything else, Lord Mayor?" Zhang Xiaoshan asked.

"Friend Zhang, I am also quite curious. Where are you going to go next?"

Zhao Daquan smiled slightly, with a hint of cunning in his eyes, and said.

"I plan to go to Master Cangshui's home to practice in seclusion for a few days. What's the matter? Is there any problem?" Zhang Xiaoshan replied.

“Fellow Daoist Zhang, you said that you would bring out 7 second-grade spiritual herbs to exchange here in days, but now you want to go into seclusion to practice for a few days.

In other words, you don’t need to go somewhere to pick a large amount of second-grade spiritual herbs.”

Zhao Daquan smiled, and there seemed to be a deep meaning in his smile, and said: "In other words, if my guess is correct, you should still have 110,000 second-grade spiritual herbs in your hands.

If that's the case, why don't you just take it all out?"

"I plan to exchange for 55 third-grade spiritual grass seedlings this time. I plan to use them for cultivation first. After I improve my realm a little, it won't be too late to exchange them at the Black Dragon Chamber of Commerce."

Zhang Xiaoshan hesitated for a moment and said calmly.

"Friend Zhang, you are deceiving me."

Zhao Dashan shook his head, staring at Zhang Xiaoshan, and said:

If you want to use third-grade spiritual herbs for cultivation, why don't you directly exchange them for mature third-grade spiritual herbs instead of third-grade spiritual herb seedlings?"

"If you have nothing else to do, Lord City Lord, I will take my leave first."

Zhang Xiaoshan was slightly stunned, a trace of panic flashed across his face, then he pretended to be calm and said.

He knew that it was not convenient for him to tell his secret, nor was it possible for him to tell the other party that he was going to plant the third-grade spiritual herb seedlings in the Shenmu Tower.

In order to avoid Zhao Daquan discovering the secret, Zhang Xiaoshan now wants to leave as soon as possible.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, don't be in such a hurry to leave. Take out all the second-grade spiritual herbs in your hands, and I will exchange them with you immediately."

Zhao Daquan smiled and said calmly.

"My Lord City Lord, I will come here to exchange it in seven days." Zhang Xiaoshan said with a smile.
