"Elder Zhu, the quantity of these Cosmos Grass is too little. Does your pavilion have more in stock?"
Lin Buzheng furrowed his brows.
The method of making tea recorded in the Recipe for Making Tea had extremely strict requirements for the quantity of spiritual herbs and flowers added. Just like refining elixirs, it would be impossible to make the spiritual tea successfully no matter how much more or less was added.
Although the leaves of these Cosmos Grass were rich in spirit energy and fresh in color, the quantity was seriously insufficient. It was useless even if Lin Buzheng bought them.
"I'm sorry, Young Master Lin. Our Bahuang Wanbao Pavilion only has this much Cosmos Grass left."
"Initially, our Bahuang Wanbao Pavilion had four taels of Cosmos Grass. But when you arrived, Young Master Li Yunxiao happened to buy three taels. Now, we're only left with one tael …"
Elder Zhu explained with sweat all over his forehead.
Initially, he did not want to implicate Li Yunxiao in this matter. However, this was the truth and Elder Zhu could not hide it or falsify it.
"I see."
When Lin Buzheng heard that, he instinctively glanced at Li Yunxiao before quickly looking away.
If these three taels of Cosmos Grass were purchased by Genmizuhime, Lin Buzheng would definitely be thick-skinned enough to exchange for one tael. However, since it was purchased by Li Yunxiao, Lin Buzheng could only give up.
Lin Buzheng knew clearly that after the previous conflict, even if he asked Li Yunxiao for it, the latter would definitely not give it to him. Instead, he would use it as an excuse to make things difficult for him.
Since that was the case, Lin Buzheng might as well not seek trouble for himself right from the start.
Moreover, Lin Buzheng had always been the one to kill his enemies and plunder the spoils of war from them. He had never had the habit of humbling himself and begging for things from his enemies.
Although the spiritual tea was precious, it was not worthy for Lin Buzheng to lower his head.
"How much do you want?"
However, at this moment, Genmizuhime, who was standing at the side like an ice sculpture, suddenly spoke again.
She did not ask what Lin Buzheng wanted the Cosmos Grass for, nor did she ask if Lin Buzheng had any other substitute spiritual herbs. Instead, she went straight to the point and asked for the quantity of spiritual herbs that Lin Buzheng needed.
The four words revealed Genmizuhime's unparalleled concern for Lin Buzheng.
"I need two taels of Cosmos Grass."
"Including the one tael on my hand, I need one tael."
Lin Buzheng pondered for a moment before answering truthfully.
He'd already guessed in his heart that Xuan Shui Ji would definitely negotiate with Li Yunxiao to exchange for a Universe Grass from the latter, so he might as well wait and see.
If Li Yunxiao wanted Genmizuhime to buy it with gold and spiritual stones, Lin Buzheng could pay for it on his behalf.
However, if Li Yunxiao asked for an exorbitant price, Lin Buzheng would stop the transaction immediately. Even if he did not want the Cosmos Grass, he would not let Genmizuhime suffer a loss.
"Li Yunxiao, I want one tael of Cosmos Grass."
As expected, as soon as Lin Buzheng finished speaking, Genmizuhime turned around and said coldly.
"My dear lady, is there anyone who wants it so much?"
Seeing this, Lin Buzheng was instantly speechless.
He had just said that he needed one tael of Cosmos Grass, and Genmizuhime asked Li Yunxiao directly.
Not only in front of Lin Buzheng, but her tone was also extremely cold. She did not give Li Yunxiao a way out. It would be strange if the latter was willing to give it to her.
"Junior Sister Shui Ji, if you really need it, I can willingly give you the treasure in my hand for free."
"But you clearly want the spiritual herb from me to give to that brat. I would rather throw it away than give it to him!"
At this moment, Li Yunxiao looked at Lin Buzheng angrily. His face was twisted in anger. Jealousy indeed made people ugly.
"Li Yunxiao, you …"
Genmizuhime was furious. Although she was rejected by Li Yunxiao, she did not feel embarrassed. She was just a little disappointed that she could not help Lin Buzheng. She was even more afraid that he would be disappointed in her …
"It's okay."
"You've already done very well!"
However, at this moment, Lin Buzheng's face was filled with a bright smile. He looked into Genmizuhime's eyes with encouragement and gratitude.
Lin Buzheng knew very well that with Genmizuhime's cold and unapproachable personality, she would not even say a word of nonsense, let alone ask for help.
However, right now, Genmizuhime was trying to ask Li Yunxiao for the Universe Grass that she needed for his sake.
Although her tone was stiff and her attempt was clumsy.
Her intention was enough to move Lin Buzheng deeply.
"I don't want the Universe Grass."
"I have my ways to get more Universe Grass."
Lin Buzheng's expression quickly calmed down. As he signaled Genmizuhime to give up, he already had a better idea.
"Is that so?"
"Then I want the remaining tael of Universe Grass too!"
"I'd like to see where you can get more Universe Grass!"
Li Yunxiao sneered. Before he finished his sentence, he waved his hand and bought the remaining tael of Universe Grass. With his actions, he pressured Lin Buzheng step by step. He could not wait to kill Lin Buzheng immediately.
"You'll find out soon enough."
Lin Buzheng calmed down. Although his tone was calm, his heart was in turmoil. There was an unprecedented murderous intent.
It was obvious that Lin Buzheng's plan was none other than to kill Li Yunxiao and take all four taels of Cosmos Grass from him.
It was the first time they met and Li Yunxiao wanted to kill him.
After that, Li Yunxiao pressured Lin Buzheng step by step. His words were filled with extreme malice and murderous intent.
Even if Lin Buzheng did not want the Universe Grass, he had to get rid of such a strong enemy as soon as possible.
"No."
"Maybe you won't know anything."
However, the next moment, Lin Buzheng suddenly thought of something and a mysterious smile appeared on his face.
It might have been a coincidence, but among the seven prodigies, Bu Yuanba, who had a grudge with Lin Buzheng, was captured by the Kunlun Demon King.
Xiao Wuque, who annoyed Lin Buzheng by pestering Lin Xinyue, was also captured by the Kunlun Demon King.
If Lin Buzheng was really a jinx, then the next person to be captured by the Kunlun Demon King would undoubtedly be Li Yunxiao.
Would that really happen in reality?
Lin Buzheng secretly looked forward to it.
"Li Yunxiao, the relationship between us ends here."
"If you dare pester me again, I won't show any mercy with the Soaring Holy Light in my hands!"
Genmizuhime scoffed and left.
Through what happened that day, she had completely seen through Li Yunxiao's arrogant and overbearing nature.
Coupled with the fact that her request was rejected, she no longer had a good impression of Li Yunxiao.
One could imagine that it would be difficult for Li Yunxiao to maintain their friendship, let alone pursue Genmizuhime.
"I'm leaving."
"Take care of yourself."
However, when Genmizuhime passed by Lin Buzheng, she nodded slightly.
Although her tone was cold, there was a tinge of concern in it. It was completely different from her attitude towards Li Yunxiao.
If looks could kill, Lin Buzheng would have been killed by Li Yunxiao a million times over.
"Got it, wife!"
