Xue Gu (Part Two)
Xue Gu had seen a lot of things like this- a lot of sick practitioners would come here to ask for medicine, and naturally, they'd be carried here.
But when Mengyao said that he was a practitioner, Elder Zhang looked at Lin Yi and walked over, wanting to test Lin Yi's strength when Yushu called out, "Careful!"
"Oh?" Elder Zhang paused, but he could feel the heat coming from Shu and Lin Yi as well- his eyes narrowed, "Fire element? Deviated? "
"We're not sure if he's a fire element, but he's definitely deviated." Mengyao said, "We're here to buy treasures for him …."
"If I'm not mistaken, you're here for the Ice Spirit's Fruit, right?" Elder Zhang saw Lin Yi's condition, and guessed what they were thinking. These years, there'd been a few fire element practitioners who'd come here to ask for the fruit. Elder Zhang had experience in this area.
Of course, as precious as the Fire Spirit's Fruit was, the Ice Spirit's Fruit was of no use to Xue Gu at all! Xue Gu's practitioners were all mist practitioners, and even if they deviated, they'd still need the Fire Spirit's Fruit. Eating the Ice Spirit's Fruit would probably kill them instantly.
As a result, the Ice Spirit's Fruit was only a way for them to earn money or exchange. But in terms of value, naturally, it wasn't cheap. The few fruits they'd traded earlier had all brought them even more valuable treasures.
"Elder Zhang's eyes are sharp, we're here for the Ice Spirit's Fruit." The Miss had never thought that there'd be a day where she'd flatter someone, but she said it so naturally, as if it was only natural for Lin Yi. Even she was surprised.
"I wonder what Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures you would like to offer in exchange?" Elder Zhang said, "The Ice Spirit Fruit is a special product of the Snow Valley. There is only one of them and the production is extremely low. It is one of the most precious treasures of the Snow Valley, so if you can't take out a Heavenly resource of equal or higher value to exchange for it, then we won't make a move …"
"We don't have any treasures, but I heard that you can buy them with money. May I know how much the fruit is worth?" Mengyao was planning to buy it anyway- she didn't have any treasures at all.
"Purchase with money?" Elder Zhang paused. Only those hidden houses and small sects that didn't have much good stuff would come to the Snowy Valley to buy some treasures, but those were just normal stuff. The Ice Spirit Fruit had never been sold for money, and the few that were sold were all bartered.
"Yes." Mengyao nodded.
"I may be an elder of the Snow Valley, but I really can't decide the price of the fruit. Of course, even if you wanted to trade, I can't make the decision. It's all up to the valley master." Elder Zhang said, "Why don't you guys rest in the guest rooms nearby. I'll get back to you guys after I ask the valley master about the price?"
"I'll follow Elder Zhang's orders!" What else could Mengyao say after that?
Mengyao was already very happy with this result. Since Elder Zhang didn't reject them on the spot, it meant that there was a chance. Mengyao and the others were led to a guest room by the Snowy Valley disciple, and they settled down for the time being.
Elder Zhang left for an entire night. When Mengyao and the others arrived, it was already dusk, so it was normal for him to come back the next day. They weren't in a rush.
In fact, Elder Zhang went to see the valley master, Sydney. But Sydney was discussing with the Ice Palace master, Crystal Candy, whether or not they could give Xiaoxiao to the valley. Elder Zhang didn't dare disturb them, and decided to wait until the next morning to ask.
However, the next morning, when Elder Zhang met Valley Master Xue Li, Xue Li's face was very gloomy. Her originally delicate and fair face was now as dark as it could be. After seeing Elder Zhang, she only nodded slightly.
Although Xue Li was the direct disciple of the Supreme Elder and the previous Old Valley Master, she was only a Heaven Rank Early Stage master, while Elder Zhang was a Heaven Rank Middle Stage master. Previously, Xue Li was very respectful when she saw him. This time, something must have happened.
"Valley master, what happened?" Elder Zhang paused. He didn't have time to talk about the Ice Spirit Fruit anymore.
"Bingtang politely declined the conditions proposed by our Snow Valley …" Xue Li sighed.
"Could it be that the Ice Palace didn't think about it? Metal, wood, water, fire, earth, each element needs at least two inheritors to have a high chance of opening the island. If there's only one inheritor, it'll be very, very difficult …" Elder Zhang said weirdly.
"Of course Bingtang knows, but she hinted to me that those people have already found a candidate for the inheritor of the water element …" Xue Li said helplessly, "So, together with the inheritor of the ice element from the Ice Palace, there will be two inheritors of the water element. Although it's safer to have three, which sect would be willing to give away a master at the peak of the late phase of Heaven Rank and a future master of the Way of Heaven?"
"That's true …" Elder Zhang nodded, a regretful expression on his face …
"By the way, Elder Zhang, why have you come to find me?" Sydney wasn't too happy that Crystal Candy rejected her, but some things couldn't be forced. Although she was young, she was still the master of a valley, so she quickly regained her composure and asked Elder Zhang politely.
"Valley master, someone came to the valley to buy the Ice Spirit Fruit. I don't know the price?" Elder Zhang asked.
"Buy the Ice Spirit Fruit? Which sect? Fiery Mountain or Sky Elixir Sect? " Xue Li was slightly stunned and asked. After all, the Ice Spirit Fruit was a precious treasure, but it was also of little value. Only those who cultivated the Fire Attribute Heart Technique could use it. For others, it was neither a medicinal ingredient nor could it increase their strength. That was why Xue Li asked such a question.
But whether it was the Fiery Mountain or the Sky Elixir Sect, they would usually use treasures or pills of equal value. They wouldn't buy it with money. Only those hidden families and small sects would buy it with money.
"None of them. None of the three girls are cultivators. The only cultivator is a young man. He seems to be cultivating in the Extreme Yang Heart Sutra and has gone berserk. I don't know who taught him to come here to ask for medicine.
