However, he soon shook his head.
Zhang Xuan knew that the Spirit Calming Grass had the effect of calming one's mind, allowing one to enter the Heart of Tranquil Water state more easily. It didn't have the effect of awakening one's dormant soul.
Otherwise, given his proficiency in medicinal herbs, he would have long found this herb.
"Awaken one's soul? That's impossible! "
Zhao Feiwu frowned.
She had read many books on medicinal herbs, so she knew that the effects of this herb weren't as exaggerated as she thought.
"Ordinary Spirit Calming Grass doesn't have such an effect, but this is the Emperor Spirit Calming Grass. It grows by consuming the spiritual energy in spirit stones, and it's extremely effective even for Transcendent Mortal experts."
Speaking of this stalk of grass, the attendant's eyes lit up.
"Consuming spirit stones? Does it have to be fed with spirit stones? "
"Yes, from the moment it sprouts, a special formation was set up to absorb the purest spiritual energy from the spiritual stones, providing it with the energy it needs to grow … To be honest, for this Spirit Calming Grass to grow to such a size, it must have consumed more than a hundred spiritual stones, not to mention the manpower and resources!" the manservant continued to say.
Zhang Xuan was astonished. "A hundred spirit stones to raise a stalk of grass?"
Ever since he started cultivating, he had never expended so many spirit stones. To think that a stalk of grass would be treated so much better than him.
Humans were truly inferior to grass.
"Indeed. That's why this Spirit Calming Grass is different from those that grow naturally. Its attribute has been altered, and it's extremely beneficial to one's soul!" the attendant said.
Even though Zhang Xuan was shocked, he didn't believe the other party's words. Instead, he took a closer look.
It was impossible to tell whether it was effective on a dormant soul just by listening to the other party's words. He had to take a look himself.
Soon, his eyes lit up.
Even though this stalk of grass was valuable, it hadn't reached the level where he couldn't see through it. Based on the information he received from the Eye of Insight... it was actually effective on a dormant soul.
However, it wasn't awakening one, but stabilizing one's dormant soul so that it wouldn't dissipate.
Sleeping souls, to put it nicely, sounded like they were asleep, but in reality, they were too weak to wake up.
It was just like a severely ill person whose limbs were weak and unable to get up.
Lu Chong's body had been jolted, and his soul had dissipated. Even though Lu Chong had managed to save him swiftly, he was still severely injured. His chances of survival were less than a hundredth of what he was before, and he was unable to support the circulation of his physical body.
Even though the Spirit Calming Grass didn't have the ability to awaken Zhang Xuan, it was still able to prevent his soul from dissipating and even grow stronger.
"I must get it!"
Zhang Xuan had yet to find a way to awaken Lu Chong, but he couldn't allow his soul to grow weaker and weaker.
Since he had come across this Spirit Calming Grass, he naturally couldn't let it go.
"This … how much is it?"
He hesitated for a moment before he turned around and asked.
"This Spirit Calming Grass is one of the most valuable treasures in the history of our First-grade Restaurant. It can be considered as the most expensive, costing 500 spiritual stones!"
The servant said.
"500?" Zhang Xuan's body swayed.
He couldn't even take out five spirit stones right now, let alone five hundred …
What a joke!
He could take out 500 gold coins.
Appraiser Hall... Why don't we just call it Robbery Hall? Everything here is so expensive, how are we supposed to buy them?
There aren't many people who can afford it either …
Just as Zhang Xuan was about to ask for a lower price to see if he could buy it for 500 gold coins, a deep voice sounded in front of him, "Alright, I'll be taking this Spirit Calming Grass. Take the Verdant Bamboo, Sediment Grass, Yin-Yang Umbrella … I'll take one of them with me!"
Lifting his head, he saw the old man standing beside Appraiser Liu Chang waving his hands grandly.
In his eyes, 500 spirit stones were like 500 gold coins, nothing at all.
"Alright!"
Hearing his words, the servant who was in charge of introducing the items hurriedly passed them over excitedly.
The more a customer bought, the more commission they would receive as shop assistants.
"It has already been sold … Young master, why don't you look at the other items?"
Upon seeing that the Spirit Calming Grass had already been bought, the servant beside Zhang Xuan shook his head in disappointment.
"There's no need for that, I'll take this one …"
There wasn't anything else that caught Zhang Xuan's eye. Thus, he walked forward, and before he could reach the Spirit Calming Grass, he called out, "Wait a moment!"
"It can't be that you still intend to buy it?"
Seeing the fellow rush forward and shout 'wait a moment', the servant leaped in shock.
Since the other party had already said that he wanted it, if you were to rush forward now, you would be snatching it from him … More importantly, do you know who he is?
You don't even know who he is, aren't you being a little too reckless?
Zhang Xuan's loud voice immediately caught the attention of the old man and the others. Seeing the other party walking over, Appraiser Liu Chang glared at him.
It was just a moment ago that he snatched the item that the other party wanted to buy. Could it be that he bore a grudge against him and wanted to snatch his item?
"What are you doing?"
Zhang Xuan stepped forward to block Zhang Xuan's path.
"I intend to buy this Spirit Calming Grass." Ignoring the other party, Zhang Xuan said.
"We've already bought it, so you should buy something else instead!" Appraiser Liu Chang waved his hands grandly.
"Even though you've set your eyes on it, you haven't paid for it yet. As long as I offer a higher price than you, doesn't that mean that I can take it away with me? "Zhang Xuan said nonchalantly.
"You …" Appraiser Liu Chang's chest heaved, and he nearly exploded on the spot.
He was extremely familiar with those words. They were exactly the same as what he had said to the other party previously.
It seemed like this fellow was intentionally causing trouble for them.
Otherwise, how could his words be so accurate?
Zhao Feiwu and Jin Conghai glanced at one another, and a bitter smile appeared on their faces.
He sure was a person who wouldn't allow himself to be taken advantage of.
However, it was clear that the old man wasn't someone who lacked money. It wouldn't be that easy to buy something from him!
"What price can you offer then? We're offering five hundred spirit stones for this Spirit Calming Grass! "Suppressing his rage, Appraiser Liu Chang harrumphed.
That fellow was hesitant even for fifteen spirit stones, so he couldn't possibly have much money. How could he possibly buy this medicinal herb from them at such a high price?
"Can you make the decision to give this Spirit Calming Grass to me?" Zhang Xuan glanced at him.
Even though Appraiser Liu Chang had a high standing, he was an arrogant person. However, the fact that he was obediently standing behind the old man as though a subordinate showed that his standing was even higher.
The old man was the one who challenged the other party to buy the Spirit Calming Grass, so he probably didn't have the authority to do so.
Since he didn't have the authority, why should he interfere blindly?
"I …"
Appraiser Liu Chang's face flushed crimson.
"He's my student, so I have the right to decide whether to sell it or not. However, I have a use for this Spirit Calming Grass, so I don't wish to part with it. It's useless no matter how high you offer! "
Seeing the two arguing, the old man placed his hands behind his back and looked at them impassively.
"Student?"
Given that Liu Chang was a 2-star appraiser, his teacher would have to be at least a 3-star or even 4-star appraiser.
It was no wonder why he was willing to pay five hundred spirit stones for a medicinal herb without batting an eyelid.
"Raise the price even higher? That might not be the case! "Zhang Xuan said.
"Oh? Then why don't you tell me what price you can offer? "
The old man looked at them with interest.
The attendants were also curious about the old man.
The young man didn't know who the old man was, but they knew that the other party was a God of Wealth who didn't lack money. Even if he wasn't the wealthiest person in Honghai City, he wasn't far from it.
Even if they were to succeed in buying something from such a person, the price would probably be astronomical.
Zhao Feiwu and the others were also filled with doubt and anticipation.
Previously, this fellow had used his medical skills to resolve the problem, so he didn't reveal his wealth. Thus, they didn't know how much savings he had. Now that he was adamant on buying this Spirit Calming Grass, he should be able to fork out the money.
After all, without real money, how could the Appraiser Hall sell a treasure worth five hundred spirit stones?
No matter how extravagant his words were, these attendants didn't have the right to make such a decision.
They wouldn't be able to earn that much money in their entire lives.
Just when everyone was perplexed, curious to hear what the other party was relying on, the confident voice of the young man sounded.
"I can offer five hundred gold coins!"
"Pu!"
Appraiser Liu Chang nearly spurted a mouthful of blood and fainted on the spot.
Again?
Are you interested?
I offered fifty spirit stones to buy that weird item, and you offered fifty gold coins. Now, you are offering such a valuable Spirit Calming Grass, and you are offering the same thing again...
Can we still have a pleasant chat?
The lips of the attendants who were watching the commotion twitched.
To speak so arrogantly, they thought that the other party would be able to fork out a lot of money. Yet, in the end, these words... You must be here to cause trouble!
The attendant who had been following behind Zhang Xuan felt so embarrassed that he wanted to find a hole to hide in.
He thought that the other party would be able to offer a price that no one else could afford, but who could have known that he would actually offer this...
Cough cough, even if he didn't have the money, he couldn't possibly offer a price that couldn't even afford a pile of mud...
On the verge of fainting, Zhao Feiwu slapped her forehead and said, "Elder Jin, prepare to make a move. I'm afraid that if we don't protect him, he might be... beaten to death!"
"Yes!" Jin Conghai nodded. He secretly drove his zhenqi, ready to make a move at any moment.
He shared the same opinion as' gongzi '.
It was clear that the old man was of high standing, and yet, he dared to provoke such an arrogant person. It was already a miracle that he was able to survive until now.
"You want to buy this Spirit Calming Grass with five hundred gold coins?"
As expected, the old man's face darkened, and a powerful aura gushed forth from him. Even though Zhang Xuan couldn't tell how strong his aura was, it seemed to be on par with Jin Conghai.
Most likely, he had already reached Transcendent Mortal 3-dan.
"That's right!" Zhang Xuan nodded his head.
Seeing the other party admit to it so readily, the old man harrumphed, "Do you think that the First-grade Pavilion would accept five hundred spirit stones and sell such a valuable item to you for five hundred gold coins? Who do you think you are? The city lord of Honghai City or the alliance head of the League of Nations? "
"I'm neither of those. I'm just an ordinary person who wants to buy the Spirit Calming Grass."
Zhang Xuan shook his head calmly. "Besides, I'm not buying it from the First-grade Pavilion, but you! I believe that you'll be able to sell it to me for five hundred gold coins! "
"Buy it from me? Sell it to you? "
The old man was frenzied, and the muscles on his face twitched.
How can you be so sure that I'll be so cheap as to... sell it to you for five hundred gold coins just for five hundred spirit stones?
