The Abandoned Young Master of a Wealthy Cultivation Family

Chapter 5 Medicinal Materials

Suppressing his thoughts, Su Bai stood up and shook violently, his body suddenly making a crackling sound, like frying beans.

I clenched my fists and felt as if my body was filled with infinite power.

He walked up to a thick willow tree and punched out.

"boom---"

When the low crashing sound was heard, the old willow tree that two people could hug together suddenly shook violently, shaking off countless willow leaves.

Su Bai retracted his fist, leaving a fist mark several inches deep on the willow tree.

This willow tree was probably hundreds of years old, and its wood was incredibly hard. If a punch like that landed on a person, it would probably punch a hole right through it.

However, compared with his previous life where he could easily shatter planets, this power was not even as powerful as a child playing house.

"Gurgle---"

An untimely voice sounded, and Su Bai smiled bitterly, preparing to go back and reward his stomach. After all, he had not yet reached the foundation-building stage and could not completely fast, so grains were still indispensable.

When Su Bai got home, Xue Wanyun hadn't returned from the hospital yet. Su Bai grabbed some food and headed out. It was Saturday, and Su Bai didn't have to go to school. He planned to go to the Jiangzhou herbal medicine market.

Although his cultivation has now entered the middle stage of Qi Condensation, his body is still a little weak. He must use medicinal liquid to temper his body so that he can achieve twice the result with half the effort in his subsequent cultivation.

Jiangzhou City is adjacent to the remnants of the Taibai Mountains, which are rich in medicinal herbs, so the medicinal materials market in Jiangzhou is very prosperous. When Su Bai arrived, the medicinal materials market was already very lively.

Su Bai walked aimlessly on the street. The small stalls and shops on both sides were full of various medicinal herbs. The money in his pocket, including the money Su Qingyao gave him, was less than three thousand yuan in total, so he had to spend it carefully.

Here, Su Bai seemed to feel that the spiritual energy was richer than in other places, probably because of the gathering of medicinal herbs here.

"Hey, little guy, do you want to see some medicinal herbs? I have thousand-year-old ginseng, hundred-year-old Polygonum multiflorum, Tianshan snow lotus, and all kinds of magical herbs. How about it, do you want to take a look?"

A skinny middle-aged man with a goatee called out to Su Bai. Su Bai glanced at the herbs on his stall, chuckled, and shook his head. Just as he was about to leave, his eyes lit up. He pointed at a dried, mushroom-like herb on the stall and asked, "How much is this?"

He actually felt a trace of spiritual energy fluctuation on this herb!

The skinny middle-aged man chuckled and said, "Young man, you really know your stuff. This is my shop's treasure - a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum. The price is ten thousand!"

"Hehe---" Su Bai looked at him with a half-smile and said lightly: "It's already a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum. At this price, it's a loss, right?"

The skinny man saw that Su Bai was not easy to fool, so he laughed dryly and said, "How much do you want to pay, young man? I just opened this shop, so I'll give you the biggest discount!"

Su Bai hesitated for a few seconds and said nonchalantly, "One hundred."

The skinny man was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "Your price is too low---"

"One hundred and fifty, no more!"

The skinny man gritted his teeth, as if in pain, and sighed, "First business this morning, I'm going to lose money on you! Deal!"

In fact, he was already smiling in his heart, because he just picked these mushrooms from an old tree in the mountains, and he didn't expect to make 150 yuan for free!

Su Bai paid the money and just picked up the 'mushroom' when he heard a cold voice behind him.

"I'll pay fifty thousand for this cedar mushroom!"

Su Bai raised his eyebrows and turned around to see a beautiful woman with picturesque features walking towards him.

The moment he saw the woman, Su Bai felt amazed.

There was a coldness in her eyes and a beautiful face, with a heroic and proud air. It was obvious that she was of noble birth. Under her light blue dress were her snow-white, slender legs, which exuded an attractive luster and elasticity that made people unable to look away.

"Interesting, there are actually cultivators on this earth?" Su Bai looked at the woman in front of him with interest, but his brows slowly raised.

"No, although there are traces of true energy flowing in this woman's body, they are extremely weak and the quality is completely different from true energy!"

"Could this be the inner strength cultivated by the legendary martial arts masters on Earth?" Su Bai smiled. "I thought those were only things in martial arts novels, but I didn't expect they really existed in reality. However, this so-called inner strength is completely different from the true essence of immortal cultivators. It's impossible to compare them at all---"

The woman seemed to notice Su Bai's gaze, and glanced at him coldly. Her slender eyebrows wrinkled, and she said to the stunned skinny man: "Why? Fifty thousand is not enough, then sixty thousand---"

The skinny man's face flushed, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he pointed at Su Bai, "He---"

Tang Nianwei glanced at Su Bai again and said coldly, "Seventy thousand!"

The skinny man was breathing rapidly, and he was about to vomit blood. He pointed at Su Bai again, "No, he---"

"Eighty thousand!"

The skinny middle-aged man's eyes went dark and he almost fainted from regret.

What sin had I committed? I sold 80,000 yuan worth of herbs for only 200 yuan?

Tang Nian's mood finally changed. She took a look at Su Bai's outfit - he had a handsome appearance, ordinary clothes, and his entire outfit cost no more than a thousand yuan. Could a guy like this offer a higher price than herself?

As if knowing Tang Nianwei's thoughts, Su Bai grinned and said, "You're too late. This cedar ganoderma already has an owner!"

At this time, the skinny man was finally able to speak. He smiled flatteringly and said, "Little brother, I don't want to sell this Ganoderma lucidum anymore. Can I return your 200 yuan?"

Su Bai glanced at him calmly. "The deal is done. How can you regret it? If I hadn't bought this herb, you wouldn't have been able to sell it for even 200 yuan, right?"

The skinny man blushed and kept silent for a long time, but did not say anything else.

Things like this happen every day in the medicinal materials market and the antique market. Although he suffered a loss, he couldn't break the rules, so he simply closed his stall and went home. He really didn't feel like doing business today!

After the stall owner left, Tang Nianwei formally looked at Su Bai for the first time.

He has delicate features, dresses very neatly, looks very sunny, especially his eyes which give people a sense of depth.

"This cedar mushroom is useful to me. Name your price!"

Su Bai raised his eyebrows, glanced at Tang Nianwei, and said with a smile: "Sorry, this herb is also useful to me, so I'm sorry."

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

Tang Nianwei was stunned and his face looked a little ugly. This guy actually rejected him?

"Ninety thousand!"

Su Bai paused slightly, shook his head and smiled, then continued moving forward.

"One hundred thousand!"

Seeing that Su Bai had no intention of stopping, Tang Nianwei's pretty face turned cold and she strode after him.

"Stop, don't go too far! One hundred thousand is already the highest price this cedarwood has sold for in recent years!"

Su Bai looked at her helplessly and said, "I'm sorry, this herb is indeed useful to me, I don't plan to sell it!"

At this moment, the passersby who were attracted by the voices of the two people were stunned. What kind of luck did this kid have? He bought the herbs for 200 yuan, and someone bought them for 100,000 yuan, and he still didn't sell it?

Everyone looked at Su Bai's outfit in surprise - he didn't look like a rich man at all.

Tang Nianwei stared at Su Bai for a long while, snorted coldly, turned around and left without any hesitation.

Su Bai shook his head and smiled. This woman is really an iceberg beauty!

When Su Bai walked away, a man in black appeared behind Tang Nianwei and frowned, "Miss, do you want me to---"

Tang Nianwei glanced at the place where Su Bai disappeared and said lightly: "No need. It's just a cedar fungus. Don't forget the purpose of our visit this time."

"Yes!"
