Chapter 702: 0703 Cooperation (First Update)

"Jin Clan, two hundred Crystal Stones of the fourth grade, for the first time!"

"Jin Clan, two hundred Crystal Stones of the fourth grade, for the second time!"

Just as the auctioneer was about to bring down the gavel, someone from a private room on the second floor bid three hundred Crystal Stones of the fourth grade.

Jin Wanshan looked toward the second-floor private room competing with him for the last ten Five-Grass Detoxification Pills. His eyes narrowed; it was a disciple of the Ji Clan.

At that moment, Ji Shan, from the second floor, was looking down coldly at the several people of Jin Clan below. Jin Shanshun could tell from the mocking expression on Ji Shan’s face that he was targeting him; he just didn’t want the Jin Clan to win the bid.

In a huff, Jin Zhimo beside him said, "Hmph, this guy is doing it on purpose."

Soon, Jin Wanshan bid four hundred Crystal Stones of the fourth grade.

However, right after that, Ji Shan from the second floor held up a sign for five hundred Crystal Stones of the fourth grade.

Jin Shanshun knew that no matter how high his father bid, Ji Shan would always outbid them, not for anything else but to humiliate the Jin Clan.

"Father, we don’t need this medicine!" Jin Shanshun said.

Jin Wanshan hesitated; his son’s martial arts talent was mediocre, and he wanted to acquire the Five-Grass Detoxification Pills as a safeguard for Jin Shanshun. They hadn’t won in the first two attempts because their opponents were from the Mu Clan and the Shi Clan. But this time, with the last ten pills at stake, he didn’t want to give up. It just so happened that a second-generation member of the Ji Clan was competing with him from above, always one step ahead, which made Jin Wanshan both annoyed and frustrated.

"Father, that Ji Clan disciple is targeting me on purpose; we won’t be able to win the bid," Jin Shanshun said, seeing that his father was reluctant to give up.

"In that case..." Jin Wanshan paused and then gave a sigh. How could his son have offended the other party?

"Father, he wants to snatch Brother’s fiancée, so that’s why he’s targeting our Jin Clan. Just now upstairs, that Ba Sen even punched Brother," Jin Zhimo blurted out before remembering that Jin Shanshun had instructed her not to mention it.

"Let’s go!" Jin Wanshan basically understood; the other party had set their sights on the Jin Clan. There was no point in continuing the bidding. Just as the Jin Clan was about to leave, Ba Sen appeared next to the Clan Leader of the Bu Clan and whispered a few words in his ear, prompting the Clan Leader to follow Ba Sen upstairs.

"Brother Jin, you go ahead; I have some things to take care of," the Bu Clan Leader said.

A slight smile forced its way onto Jin Wanshan’s face as he turned and left, with Jin Zhimo and Jin Shanshun following him out.

"What does the Bu Clan mean by this? They know a second-generation Ji Clan member is blocking us from getting the pills, yet they still go to meet with him," Jin Zhimo complained on the way back to the Jin Clan.

"Zhimo, stop talking. Focus on your cultivation when we get back. If our Jin Clan could produce a genius comparable to Ji Lingchen, we wouldn’t need to fear them so much!" Jin Wanshan let out a slow, wistful sigh.

Jin Shanshun looked at the helplessness in his father’s eyes and clenched his fists even tighter.

The next day, Jin Shanshun disguised himself as an old man and entered the Cloud Gown Palace Auction House once again.

This time, as soon as he entered, he was led by a maid into the VIP room.

Seeing Jin Shanshun, the proprietor of Cloud Gown Palace burst into smiles; he had guessed correctly that the old man would indeed come.

"I wonder what kind of pills Old Jin would like to sell this time?" the proprietor asked cheerfully.

Jin Shanshun took out a pill bottle and said, "Here are five hundred Five-Grass Detoxification Pills. We’ll go with the previous price, one hundred pills for two hundred Crystal Stones of the fourth grade, a total of one thousand Crystal Stones of the fourth grade."

Yun Shang, the owner, was slightly taken aback. He had not expected Jin Shanshun to come up with such a substantial offer this time, putting forth five hundred Crystal Stones at once. It was to be noted that the last time, a mere one hundred had netted them several thousand fourth-grade Crystal Stones at the Cloud Gown Palace Auction House. Although these five hundred looked plentiful, for the numerous ancient clans out there, there were still many who needed them.

"Alright, no problem. I will have someone fetch the Crystal Stones right away," said Yun Shang.

Jin Shanshun suddenly spoke, "Hold on, the Crystal Stones can stay with you, Manager Yun. This time, I would like to propose another trade."

"Oh? Let’s hear it..." Yun Shang was internally intrigued.

"This list contains the medicinal herbs I require. If you can locate them, I am willing to purchase them with Crystal Stones, directly deducted from the thousand we discussed," Jin Shanshun stated indifferently.

Yun Shang took the piece of paper and studied the densely written names of various herbs. He frowned and said, "I have some of the herbs listed here in my auction house, and others I’ve never even heard of. Don’t worry, since we’re in partnership, I will naturally help you gather them as soon as possible."

"However, I want to ask one thing. Does Elder Jin intend to use these herbs for Alchemy? Moreover, is it for a pill even more precious than the Five-Herb Detoxification Pill?"

"Correct. Our young master recently wished to refine an auxiliary type of pill that would be of great benefit to Martial Artists. The Five-Herb Detoxification Pills were nothing more than something the young master concocted for fun. It would be wasteful to discard them, so we thought of selling," Jin Shanshun said lightly.

Yun Shang felt a bit embarrassed upon hearing this. If the ancient clans who bought the Five-Herb Detoxification Pills knew they had acquired something that was essentially unwanted, they would probably be quite disheartened.

But what did that have to do with him? Making money was the main point, thought Yun Shang as his mind quickly raced.

"Elder Jin, the herbs listed here are very valuable. Some cannot be bought with just several thousand fourth-grade Crystal Stones. How about this: I’ll collect the herbs for you. I do not want a single Crystal Stone, but I have one condition—if the Alchemy is successful, share one layer of profit with our Cloud Gown Palace Auction House. What do you think of my proposal?" Yun Shang said.

This...

Jin Shanshun found it difficult to agree on the spot and replied, "I will discuss this idea with the young master. I will inform you of his decision by tomorrow."

"Good, I hope your esteemed young master will seriously consider my proposal," Yun Shang said with a smile.

After Jin Shanshun left, the person in black reappeared and floated next to Yun Shang, who handed the paper listing the herb names to the person in black.

After a while, the person in black said, "I can’t tell what kind of pill he’s intending to refine, but every single herb on this list is extremely valuable. If successful, the pill could be a hundred times better than the Five-Herb Detoxification Pill."

Yun Shang was excited. Even the person in black said so; it seemed that if they could gather all the herbs on the list, a world-shocking elixir might appear.

"With the current state of the ancient lands, I hadn’t expected the existence of an Alchemist. Manager, this young master that Elder Jin mentioned is no ordinary person. Perhaps I should investigate further," said the person in black.

"No hurry!" Yun Shang interjected, "Although I don’t know the identity of this young master, since he’s willing to sell us unwanted pills, it seems he can’t escape the allure of money either. I believe he will agree to my proposal. At that time, it would be an opportunity to meet this young master."

"Merely the ability to refine pills is enough to build a powerful ancient clan. Our Cloud Gown Palace has not come into contact with an Alchemist for many years. I did not expect that in my time, I would have the fortune to meet one. This is a great opportunity for Cloud Gown Palace, one that must not irritate the other party."

"However, whether this young master is capable of refining a superior pill, we cannot ascertain. You must take this into consideration, Manager," the person in black reminded.

Yun Shang nodded, "I am well aware. Rest assured, when Elder Jin returns tomorrow, I will provide him with a portion of the herbs so we can quickly verify the young master’s Alchemy skills..."

"If it turns out he can refine a pill that helps you break through your current realm, our Cloud Gown Palace Auction House might be able to venture beyond the ancient lands and restore the glory of our ancestors!"

As he spoke, a fervent light flashed in Yun Shang’s eyes, hopeful to witness that day himself.
