The moment the fat old man appeared, a faint light lit up inside the Heavenly Star Medicine Store. There was also a heart-palpitating fluctuation that gently rippled, but then everything disappeared as if it had never existed. Everything that had happened just now was just an illusion.
That was the Heavenly Star Medicine Store's Absolute Kill Array.
This stone seed was the treasure of the Heavenly Star Medicine Store. Even if no one had been able to unravel its secret, the Heavenly Star Medicine Store had never truly given up completely and had protected it very thoroughly.
So at this moment, when the stone seed was taken out in public, the Heavenly Star Medicine Store's Absolute Kill Array was also activated. Anyone who dared to have ill intentions and try to snatch the stone seed would inevitably be ruthlessly killed by the Heavenly Star Medicine Store.
"Young Master, I've brought the stone seed!"
The fat old man quickly walked in front of Xiao Fan and then carefully opened the exquisite golden box in his hand. He then gently placed it in front of Xiao Fan and respectfully said to Xiao Fan.
"Huala!"
Everyone immediately gathered around and stretched their necks to look at the stone seed in the Heavenly Star Medicine Store.
Although many people had heard of the stone seed in the Heavenly Star Medicine Store, it had been one or two thousand years since the Heavenly Star Medicine Store had taken out the stone seed. So now, everyone was seeing this stone seed for the first time. Naturally, they were very curious and wanted to see what this stone seed, which had once caused almost all the alchemists in the entire Eastern Region and even the entire Dongling Lower State to return empty-handed, was.
In front of everyone's eyes was a brown stone that was only the size of a finger.
It looked no different from a normal rock. Once it fell to the ground, it would completely sink into the pile of rocks on the ground. It would be very difficult to find it again, making it difficult for people to associate this rock with a seed of life.
Looking at the stone seed, the crowd once again began to discuss in low voices. Many of them had expressions of astonishment on their faces. They did not dare to believe that this was really a seed.
"Young Master, please!"
The fat old man stood to the side and said to Xiao Fan. Although there was a certain amount of doubt in his eyes, there was more anticipation.
This stone seed was seriously too important to the Heavenly Star Medicine Store!
Rationally speaking, the fat old man had doubts about Xiao Fan. He suspected that Xiao Fan was deliberately mystifying and deceiving him. However, from an emotional point of view, he was more willing to believe that Xiao Fan could really make this stone seed take root and sprout within two hours and bear fruit within four hours.
In the face of hope, one could only believe and grasp it!
"I need something!" Xiao Fan glanced at the stone seed in the golden box, then raised his head and said to the chubby old man.
"Tell me, as long as our Heavenly Star Medicine Store has it, I can immediately bring it to you!" The fat old man immediately responded.
"It's nothing precious!" Xiao Fan nodded and said, "Give me ten drops of Jade Clear Flower's nectar, a small piece of Wind Tiger's skull, and a Bone Tempering Pill … That will do!"
Xiao Fan casually mentioned about five or six things and asked the fat old man to bring them over.
Hearing Xiao Fan mention these five or six things, everyone around, including the white-clothed girl from the Sacred Era Hall, had a strange expression on their faces.
It was because the five or six items that Xiao Fan mentioned were the most ordinary, most common, and most simple medicinal ingredients and pills for refining pills. Not only were they everywhere on the streets, even if these items were to fall on the ground, no one would be bothered to bend down and pick them up.
With these incomparably common and simple things, Xiao Fan wanted to make the stone seed take root and sprout, blossom, and bear fruit that countless Alchemy Grandmasters in the Eastern Territory and Eastern Spirit Lower Prefecture were helpless against. What kind of joke was this?
"Heh heh!" The crowd suddenly burst into laughter.
The fat old man was also a little stunned and stunned. He also could not believe that Xiao Fan intended to make the stone seed take root and sprout, blossom, and bear fruit with these things. A trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
However, he did not say anything. He immediately turned around and asked the shop assistant to search the shop to see if there were any of the things Xiao Fan wanted.
"Since all of you don't believe that our grandpa can make this stone seed take root and germinate, how about we make a bet?" The little bastard had a sneaky smile on his face as he shouted at everyone.
"Okay, how do we bet?" As soon as the Little Bastard spoke, everyone immediately looked at it. Then, someone immediately opened his mouth and sneered.
"It's very simple. The odds are 1 to 2. The starting bet is 500 kilograms of Origin Stones. If our Grandpa can make this stone seed take root and sprout, blossom, and bear fruit, your Origin Stones will belong to me!" The Little Bastard said with a sneaky smile. "On the other hand, I'll pay you double the amount you bet!"
"Okay, I'll accept this bet. I'll bet 3000 kilograms of Origin Stones!" The person who spoke first immediately stepped forward and took out 3000 kilograms of Origin Stones. He said to the Little Bastard.
"I'll bet 2000 kilograms!"
"I'll bet 4000 kilograms!"
"I'll bet big. I'll bet 5000 kilograms!"
....
With someone taking the lead, many people followed suit. Many people stepped forward and took out their Origin Stones to bet with the Little Bastard.
The people here were all of extraordinary status and had deep backgrounds. Therefore, they could still afford to take out a few thousand kilograms of Origin Stones.
However, if they took out more, no one would be willing to bet. After all, 100,000 kilograms of Origin Stones was equivalent to the entire inventory of some of the lower ranked sects. A few thousand kilograms was already quite a lot.
The Little Bastard also saw this point. He didn't ask for too much and decided to bet on 10,000 kilograms of Origin Stones. Instead, he set it at 500 kilograms. This was more acceptable to many people. Therefore, the people who entered the pit were like carps crossing a river. There was an endless stream.
"Wait a minute. There are so many of us here. If you lose, it'll be an astronomical sum of Origin Stones. How are you going to compensate us?" someone questioned.
"I have the Seven Martial Pavilion's silver medallion. I can guarantee 100,000 kilograms of Origin Stones!" Mu Junsu stepped forward and took out a silver medallion. She waved it in front of everyone.
"The Seven Martial Pavilion's silver medallion? That's fine! "Seeing the silver medallion in Mu Junsu's hand, someone immediately nodded and said.
The Seven Martial Pavilion was actually a comprehensive organization that combined various functions such as the Merchant Pavilion, the army, and the sect. It had the Merchant Pavilion under it and also had external guarantee services.
The silver medallion was one of the Seven Martial Pavilion's external guarantee services.
As long as one had the silver medallion, anyone could go to the Seven Martial Pavilion and request at least ten Yang Realm cultivators to protect them for a certain period of time. They could also take away 100,000 kilograms of Origin Stones for free or make other requests of equal value.
Of course, if someone used the silver medallion to do these things, then the guarantor of the silver medallion would have to bear a certain amount of responsibility to the Seven Martial Pavilion. The Seven Martial Pavilion wouldn't do business that would result in a loss.
Above the silver medallion was the even more precious gold medallion, the divine medallion. It could allow the Seven Martial Pavilion to send even more Yang Realm cultivators and even Origin Realm cultivators to protect them. They could take away 500,000 kilograms or even tens of millions of kilograms of Origin Stones.
However, silver medallions and even lower grade bronze medallions were the most common. Many experts in the Eastern Region took the initiative to do business with the Seven Martial Pavilion and used themselves as guarantors to obtain a silver or bronze medallion.
They would then sell it at a high price to some vagrant cultivators and earn a profit from the difference!
After the vagrant cultivators obtained the silver or bronze medallion, although the money spent was higher than the actual value of the silver or bronze medallion, the Seven Martial Pavilion's reputation was unquestionable. They would definitely do what they said!
If he said he needed 10 cultivators at the peak of Yang Level to protect him, he would definitely get 10 cultivators at the peak of Yang Level to protect him.
Even if they died, they definitely wouldn't let you die before the time limit set by the medallion was up. Their reputation was top-notch.
If it were someone else, then even if you spent money, you might not be able to buy these services. The chances of you losing money would be higher.
Therefore, when Mu Junsu took out the silver medallion, everyone present no longer worried about anything. They all relaxed and began to bet with the Little Bastard. Not a single person backed out.
Even the white-clothed girl from the Sky Firmament Institute joined in and bet an entire 2,500 kilograms of Origin Stones!
As for the grey-clothed old woman beside the white-clothed girl, she had no interest in participating in this matter. She stood with her hands behind her back and didn't even bother to look at Xiao Fan and the others!
"9: 1!" The Little Bastard grinned at Mu Junsu and said silently.
"Okay!" Mu Junsu nodded and replied silently.
Mu Junsu had obtained this silver medallion when she was planning the layout of the Eastern Region. She had obtained it in a shady way — by killing and robbing.
Today, the Little Bastard's bet was without suspense. Mu Junsu taking out the silver medallion was just icing on the cake. The Little Bastard giving her 10% of the Origin Stones was already generous enough and gave her enough face.
Of course, Lime was also a factor. After all, Mu Junsu was Lime's servant and Lime was Xiao Fan's disciple. No matter how greedy the Little Bastard was, there were some things that it knew how to do.
"Young Master, the things are ready!" Not long after, the shop assistant returned from outside, sweating profusely. He handed over the things that Xiao Fan needed to the chubby old man. Then, the chubby old man placed the things in front of Xiao Fan and said.
The things that Xiao Fan needed were too ordinary. The Heavenly Star Medicine Store actually didn't have them. The shop assistant had to run to other stores and search for them for a long time before he could find them.
"Okay!" Xiao Fan took the things he needed and said. Then, he began to mix them together.
