The old man took the porcelain bottle from Xiao Chen's hands with a trace of doubt. The old man opened the bottle stopper, and his originally casual eyes instantly shot out two sharp rays of light. His hands even trembled unconsciously, and before the crowd could react, he hurriedly closed the bottle stopper tightly and gripped the porcelain bottle tightly.
Although he had only opened the bottle a little, the round and smooth elixir with flowing light was immediately reflected in the old man's eyes. A faint medicinal fragrance wafted into his nostrils, and the word "elixir" flashed in his mind. What a great surprise. He had never thought that such a rare item would appear in this resource-poor Giant Rock Valley.
"What a reckless waste of God's gift."
Such a treasure was actually stored in a porcelain bottle. Did he not know that elixirs needed to be stored in jade bottles in order to better maintain their medicinal power?
Holding the porcelain bottle tightly, the old man did not have the slightest intention of exchanging it. His slightly reproachful gaze made Xiao Chen a little confused. He did not know how he had offended this great expert again. Could it be that the old man was not satisfied with this?
If he knew that the old man was simply blaming him for not using jade bottles to store the elixir, he would definitely cry out in injustice. As a pill refiner, how could he not know such simple common sense? However, his Gu Yuan Tribe was too poor and could not produce so many precious treasures to make jade bottles, so he could only use these porcelain bottles instead.
"I don't know what Senior thinks, but I will use two stalks of thousand-year-old elixirs and the item in your hands to exchange for this elixir No Return Grass."
"Good!"
Without waiting for Xiao Chen to finish speaking, the old man agreed somewhat impatiently. However, perhaps because he felt that his performance was lacking in the demeanor of a senior expert, the old man calmed himself down slightly and said again, "This old man likes the treasures that you took out very much. If the two fellows from the Shadow Forest Tribe do not have any other treasures to take out, this old man will trade with this little brother Xiao Chen."
Of course, the latter sentence was said to Ying Jie and his sister. After all, the two of them were Duanmu Cheng's hosts, and the old man still had to give face to the Shadow Forest Tribe behind them.
However, in the eyes of the crowd, the old man had already taken a liking to Xiao Chen. They were very curious about what kind of heavenly treasure Xiao Chen had taken out.
Strictly speaking, the value of the Bone-tempering Pill Xiao Chen had taken out could not be compared with the two stalks of 800-year-old herbs that Ying Jie had taken out.
But alchemists were too rare. They could turn of several ordinary herbs that were only two or three hundred years old into elixirs that could be absorbed by the human body.
Sorry, but who asked me to have the skills? So what if you have an herb with a medicinal strength of 800 years? There's no way to harmonize the medicinal strength for children to absorb, and there's no way to get rid of the impurities within. For an old man who was actively cultivating an inheritor, there's no way to judge who's superior.
When Ying Lin, who was at the side, saw the old man's expression, his heart skipped a beat. He knew that his Treasure Herb was inferior to the item that Xiao Chen took out. His face sank as he pondered something.
Behind him, the Little She-Devil Ying Lin 'er could not help but jump out. She put her jade-like hands on her waist and looked unconvinced. "Hey, dummy, what kind of treasure did you take out?"
"Haha, since that's the case, this old man will trade the No Return Herb with Little Brother Xiao. Speaking of which, this old man is still taking advantage of Little Brother Xiao. Although this old man has not been in the Vast Wilderness for decades, I had a wide range of friends when I was young. If Little Brother Xiao Chen has any trouble, I believe these tribe leaders will give me some face."
Of course, the old man could see the conflict between Xiao Chen and the Ying siblings. The Bone-tempering Pill that Xiao Chen had taken out was very valuable to him.
As a Ranger who had the blessing of the Human Clan, although they seemed to be glorious on the surface, only they themselves knew the difficulties. Success was due to luck, failure was also due to luck. Everything in the world was destined.
The pill that Xiao Chen took out could help his grandson enter the Bone-tempering Stage. It had immeasurable benefits for his grandson to inherit his inheritance. Therefore, he said these words to Xiao Chen after the trade.
"Thank you, senior. However, as a man, Xiao Chen is not afraid of anyone with a spear in hand. A man's ambition is to kill the barbarians and fight against a group of heroes."
His heroic voice pierced through the sky. Xiao Chen's words could be said to be confrontational. He was not afraid of Ying Jie's threat.
"Hmph!
I hope your strength can withstand your words. "
Of course, Ying Jie was not happy. Not only was his little sister being bullied, but this kid also dared to pull the tiger's teeth and snatched away the elixir that he was about to get. Although this was a fair competition, and whoever had the bigger chips would win, he had already thrown this normal thought to the back of his mind.
Heroes were young, and who had not been hot-blooded? The old man had also been young and hot-blooded. Of course, he knew that young people were like newborn calves that were not afraid of tigers. They had the courage to pierce through the sky. Regarding the decision made by Xiao Chen, he naturally would not refute it. Between young people, they should solve it in their own way.
As for Soul Breaking Saber Ren Fei, he had already given up fighting for the treasure when the Ying siblings of the Ying Forest Tribe took action. As a Ranger, he did not have a tribe to rely on. He knew that he was no match for Ying Jie and his sister. However, he did not expect that Xiao Chen would become the dark horse and snatch away the treasure.
As for Xiao Chen, he had already noticed his figure the moment he arrived. He was ordinary in the crowd, and there was nothing strange about him. However, he gave people a feeling of calmness and magnanimity, as if everything was in his heart.
This was not the first time he had heard of Xiao Chen's name. He had long been fascinated by this rapidly rising sun in Giant Stone Valley.
Before Xiao Chen rose up, he, Ren Fei, was a genius wanderer praised by the humans of Boulder Valley. He was known as a genius human who could challenge the Proud Son of Heaven Ranking. How could he remain indifferent to a genius cultivator who was on par with him?
A mountain cannot hold two tigers. There was no first place in literature and no second place in martial arts. At this moment, his heart had long been filled with a strong desire to fight. Looking at Xiao Chen, his eyes were filled with an endless desire to fight. He could not wait to fight with Xiao Chen to determine the winner.
As geniuses of the younger generation, there was bound to be a clear winner. This was especially so after the battle where Xiao Chen became famous. After he single-handedly massacred the foreign races, his reputation was brought back to their respective tribes by the rescued humans. It was like the fragrance of fermenting wine wafting in the air, spreading throughout the entire Huge Rock Valley. His reputation had already surpassed Ren Fei's.
Since the price had been agreed upon, there was no point for either side to negotiate. The next step was easy. Xiao Chen handed the two thousand-year-old Spirit Herbs to the old man and took the Spirit Herb No Return Grass from the little boy's hands. Not long after, the two completed the transaction.
Seeing that Xiao Chen had completed the transaction, the people surrounding them did not disperse. Instead, the situation became more and more intense. Countless eyes stared at Xiao Chen and the others in the middle. Their eyes were filled with endless excitement, as if they were watching a show.
