"Blood Sea Ginseng and Evil Light Flower are the two spiritual herbs missing in the Seven Poisons Water recipe. But I have never heard of them in the herbal dictionary, they must be quite rare. I need to formulate the Seven Poisons Water as soon as possible, at least to have some self-protection ability in front of Foundation Establishment stage cultivators."
After more than a thousand Fire God Talismans were used up, Shu Han had only managed to create one hundred and twenty this year. Used properly, they could still pose a significant threat.
However, Shu Han was still uneasy. The Fire God Talisman was too single in its approach. If it were seen through, it would be too risky without a backup plan.
Next, he wandered around the magic stalls for half a day. Suddenly, he noticed a girl. She had bright and spirited eyes. When her gaze swept over him, Shu Han felt like he had been seen through. This made him feel very uncomfortable. His aura-concealing technique could not be detected by a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator without careful inspection, yet she saw through it with just one glance? Was there something odd about those eyes?
Shu Han was just about to approach the girl's stall, but a group of people rushed over first.
The bald man at the front slapped the girl's stall and yelled, "Chen Yuehua! Are you fooling me? Your Clear Bright Spiritual Eye water is completely useless. My eyes are almost soaked and I still haven't mastered it! Enough! Cough up all the spirit stones I've spent on you over the years!"
Chen Yuehua, the girl, looked at the bald man without flinching, and said, "I told you that the Clear Bright Spiritual Eye technique requires long-term use of the potion that I make. Brother Wang, how long have you been using it? This technique is not easy to master. Why don't you buy another two bottles? I'll give you a discount!"
The bald man was furious, his spiritual pressure rising. His cultivation level was the eleventh level of Qi Refining.
"No refunds! I'll smash your stall!"
Chen Yuehua seemed unfazed, and leisurely said, "Smash it if you want. The stall isn't worth much anyway."
"You..."
The bald man grabbed Chen Yuehua's slender shoulder and roared, "Then I will tear you apart!"
Chen Yuehua sighed, took out two bottles of potion, and said, "Fine, I'll give you these two bottles. Stop making a fuss, I still have business to do."
The bald man's eyelids twitched, he hesitated for a while, but eventually snatched the two bottles of potion, and warned, "If it's still useless, I won't let you off! Let's go!" With that, he left with his group.
Shu Han watched the scene with displeasure, as a group of strong men publicly bullied a frail girl. If this had been in the mundane world, he would have stepped in to teach them a lesson, but this was the world of cultivators, and he did not want to stick his neck out for a girl he had just met.
Shu Han walked up to the stall and asked, "Are you selling some kind of eye technique?"
Chen Yuehua smiled and replied, "You have a keen eye, it is indeed an honor to meet a cultivator of the twelfth level of Qi Refining. This is my family's ancestral Clear Bright Spiritual Eye technique. If you have a small accomplishment in cultivation, you can see through other people's disguises. When it is fully accomplished, you can use your spiritual vision to break through illusions, the effects are wondrous."
Shu Han laughed, "This technique must be very expensive, how many spirit stones?"
"Since we are destined, I will sell it to you for ten spirit stones."
Destined again? Is "destined" the catchphrase of your Green Stone Gathering?
Shu Han was suspicious. The price was ridiculously low.
"Just that?"
Chen Yuehua praised, "You are indeed smart, to cultivate this technique, you need to use my family's secret Clear Bright Spiritual Eye potion, and it has to be used daily to be effective. One bottle of potion costs twenty spirit stones."
Shu Han laughed inwardly. Selling the technique was just a ruse, selling the potion was the real deal.
"I offer five hundred spirit stones to buy the recipe for your potion."
Chen Yuehua smiled, "You're joking, this is a family secret recipe, I absolutely do not sell it."
"Seven hundred!"
"No deal!"
"One thousand!"
Chen Yuehua looked surprised.
"Do you really have a thousand spirit stones?"
Shu Han retorted, "If I really have a thousand, would you sell it to me?"
"Still no deal."
Shu Han sighed. Since the other party was unmoved, it would be unwise for him to increase the price. He decided to buy more than a dozen bottles of potion at once. However, when he opened the potion and smelled it, he frowned.
"This is not fair, girl. These potions are diluted, the effect is probably less than a tenth. No wonder the bald man said earlier that he had soaked his eyes to the point of rotting but still couldn't cultivate. You seem so frail and weak, but I didn't expect you to be such a cunning merchant. Give me back my spirit stones!"
Chen Yuehua was greatly surprised, her eyes flashing with surprise.
"It seems that you are very proficient in alchemy and medicinal arts, you really know your stuff. Clever people have clever ways of doing business. I'll give you twelve intact ones, please understand."
"No need!"
Shu Han snatched back his spirit stones and said unhappily, "With the way you do business, I dare not use anything that comes from you. Goodbye!"
Watching Shu Han's retreating figure, Chen Yuehua's eyes were full of brightness. She gathered everything from her stall into her storage bag and walked alone into a pavilion in the middle of the Green Stone Gathering.
Inside the pavilion sat the big man from before, who was preparing to wash his eyes with the potion. Chen Yuehua barged in and snatched the potion from his hands.
The big man was furious, "Chen Yuehua, what are you trying to do?! Are you going back on your word!"
Chen Yuehua rebuked, "If you're not afraid of going blind, go ahead and use it!"
The big man broke out in a cold sweat, "You wretched girl, you dare to set a trap for me, brothers!"
All the cultivators sitting around immediately stood up, looking at Chen Yuehua with ill intent.
However, Chen Yuehua was not the least bit afraid.
"Brother Wang! Don't you want the one thousand spirit stones?"
The big man immediately called a halt, walked up to Chen Yuehua, and panted, "What one thousand spirit stones?"
Chen Yuehua gently pushed him down into his chair, smiling seductively, "Just now, there was a young man, at the twelfth level of Qi Refining, who said he wanted to buy my recipe for one thousand spirit stones. Those one thousand spirit stones are in his hands right now!"
The big man sneered, "I also said I'd use ten thousand spirit stones to buy your damn recipe! You believe a little boy's boasting?"
"I saw his eyes with my Clear Bright Spiritual Eye, he definitely wasn't lying! He has at least a thousand spirit stones on him, maybe even more! Brother Wang, you can choose not to believe me, but you have to believe these eyes of mine."
The big man stroked his chin, "Indeed if there's one thing I can trust about you, it's your eyes. A twelfth-level Qi Refining cultivator is not to be feared, but he's hiding his identity, and once he leaves the Green Stone Gatherings, we don't know which exit he will be teleported to, how do we deal with this?"
Chen Yuehua laughed, "Leave that to me, just wait outside the Gatherings with your men."
The big man squinted his eyes, "From the sound of it, it seems like this isn't your first time doing this kind of thing?"
Chen Yuehua replied in a weak voice, "A girl like me has to think of many ways to survive in the world of cultivators."
The big man's eyelids twitched, "So how do we settle the matter of this poisoned potion?"
Chen Yuehua sat directly on the big man's lap, "How about, I spend a passionate night with you?"
The big man pushed her off immediately, "I wouldn't dare touch a poisonous woman like you. After this is done, I get seventy percent, you get thirty! No more tricks!"
"Blood Sea Ginseng and Evil Light Flower are the two spiritual herbs missing in the Seven Poisons Water recipe. But I have never heard of them in the herbal dictionary, they must be quite rare.
