Chapter 124: Chapter 124: 500-Year Blood Ganoderma

Li Duoyu saw the reactions of the crowd and nodded in satisfaction.

"Ladies and gentlemen, medicinal materials of two to three hundred years are common, but those of five hundred years are indeed rare. This Blood Ganoderma is truly a peerless treasure."

"Therefore, for this last item, I don’t want money, I only accept barter. If any of you have items of equivalent value to this Blood Ganoderma that you temporarily do not need, you can bring them to exchange with me."

The crowd immediately began to discuss among themselves.

Soon, a middle-aged man stood up, "My family has an ancestral bronze mirror that lights up on its own during the full moon. Anything touched by its light instantly shatters. This mirror is most likely a Magic Artifact, and I am willing to exchange it with you."

Li Duoyu shook his head, "I am not a Cultivator; a Magic Artifact is of no use to me."

The middle-aged man sat down dejectedly.

Afterwards, several others stood up to describe their treasures, but Li Duoyu was not interested in any of them.

Tang Chuchu frowned deeply. If it were a question of money, she could easily take out several billion, but she truly did not have a treasure on hand that could compare with the five-hundred-year-old Blood Ganoderma.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I must confess, I am also a Martial Artist who is on the cusp of developing Inner Strength, but I have always been unable to make the breakthrough."

"If you can help me attain Inner Strength, I am also willing to gift the Blood Ganoderma to you."

Li Duoyu added a few more words upon seeing that no one had items worth presenting.

Hearing this, Tang Chuchu’s eyes brightened. She immediately took out a jade bottle and stood up, "This is a Breakthrough Pill that my Tang Family specifically requested from the Medicine Sect to assist Martial Artists in their breakthroughs. This bottle of elixir can not only help you break through to Inner Strength but may even enable you to reach a minor level of proficiency in Inner Strength."

Li Duoyu’s eyes flashed with interest, "Is this medicine really sought from the Medicine Sect? May I take a look?"

Tang Chuchu passed him the jade bottle.

The crowd was somewhat surprised; they hadn’t expected someone from the Tang Family of Binhai to be here.

Many looked over at Lu Qinghuan to see that her complexion wasn’t looking too good.

Li Duoyu opened the jade bottle, took a sniff, and became visibly excited, "Such a rich medicinal fragrance, it seems to be a genuine production of the Medicine Sect indeed. Rumor has it that it’s incredibly difficult to obtain an elixir from the Medicine Sect. Even with a lot of money, getting their elixirs is as hard as reaching the heavens. Only a renowned Martial Arts family like the Tangs could obtain such a premium elixir from the Medicine Sect."

A slight look of triumph appeared on Tang Chuchu’s face as she turned to glance at Lu Qinghuan, seemingly flaunting her achievement.

Although the Lu Family is also a renowned Martial Arts family, they were far from the Medicine Sect and thus had never obtained elixirs from there.

Lu Qinghuan’s face darkened, "It’s just a bottle of pills, what’s there to be proud of."

Li Duoyu smiled at Tang Chuchu and said, "Miss Tang, I am very satisfied with this bottle of pills. This Blood Ganoderma..."

At that moment, Chen Fan stood up and looked at Li Duoyu, "I also have a bottle of elixirs here. Does President Li want to take a look?"

The crowd turned their attention to Chen Fan.

Tang Chuchu’s eyebrows knit together, "You’re trying to mess with me deliberately, aren’t you? Everyone heard it earlier on the first floor, you’re just a loser who was thrown out on his ear. If not for Miss Lu’s poor judgment, you wouldn’t even have the right to be here. What kind of elixir could a person like you possibly have?"

Lu Qinghuan stood up, "Who are you calling blind? Mr. Chen is not someone you can insult at whim!"

Then she leaned over to whisper to Chen Fan, "Mr. Chen, the Medicine Sect is the premier elixir holy land in Huaxia; their elixir quality is said to be the best in all of Huaxia. You better not compete with this wretched woman."

Chen Fan waved his hand dismissively, "Don’t worry, my elixir might not necessarily be inferior to those from the Medicine Sect."

The onlookers couldn’t help but snicker.

"I’ve never heard of anyone’s Pill Refinement surpassing the Medicine Sect. This kid must be out of his mind."

"This guy really doesn’t know his place. He probably doesn’t realize he’s embarrassing Miss Lu."

...

Tang Chuchu’s face was full of disdain, "To think he has the nerve to compare his pills with those of the Medicine Sect, this guy is simply ignorant to the extreme."

Li Duoyu’s face turned awkward, but out of respect for Lu Qinghuan, he did not mock Chen Fan. Instead, he said, "In that case, please let this gentleman present your elixir, and then I’ll make a comparison."

Chen Fan took out a jade bottle.

Inside it were the Cultivation Pills he had refined during his previous practice, with three remaining.

Since he had the Five Elements Fusion Spirit Formation, these three Cultivation Pills were now useless to him.

However, although they were of no use to Chen Fan, to ordinary people, these were undoubtedly miraculous medicines.

Even just one would help Li Duoyu break through to the Inner Strength level.

Li Duoyu took the jade bottle, found it a bit light, shook it, and frowned, "How many pills are in this bottle?"

Chen Fan answered truthfully, "Three."

Tang Chuchu laughed out loud, "Hey, I gave a whole bottle of elixirs, and you just show up to cause trouble, and there are only three pills in your bottle, could it be leftover chocolate beans you’ve eaten?"

Lu Qinghuan also felt somewhat embarrassed and thought that Chen Fan’s actions would not cause any trouble for Tang Chuchu, but rather would backfire.

Li Duoyu sighed, "Well, let’s just open it and see."

He then opened the lid of the jade bottle.

Almost instantaneously, the entire hall was filled with a medicinal fragrance.

Li Duoyu was instantly stunned.

Not just him, everyone present was astonished by the sudden scent of the medicine.

Someone sniffed vigorously, their eyes shining, "My goodness, what... what kind of elixir is this, why do I feel refreshed and invigorated just by smelling it, as if all my fatigue has dissipated?"

The others all nodded, clearly sharing the same sentiment.

Tang Chuchu’s pupils shrank, "How... how is it possible, there are obviously only three pills inside, why is the fragrance so strong?"

Lu Qinghuan’s face was full of astonishment, and her gaze towards Chen Fan contained even more admiration.

Li Duoyu leaned over to the mouth of the bottle and took a deep sniff.

In that instant, he felt the barrier that he had been unable to break through within his body begin to loosen.

This excited him so much that his hands, holding the jade bottle, began to tremble.

"Divine pills, these are divine pills!" Li Duoyu exclaimed.

He quickly replaced the lid on the bottle.

Many were still immersed in the scent of the medicine, and upon seeing Li Duoyu cap the bottle, someone said, "President Li, why are you capping it? Let us have a few more whiffs."

Li Duoyu muttered to himself, "This treasure, let you smell it for free? You should be happy you got a few sniffs just now."

He then turned to Tang Chuchu with a serious expression, "Miss Tang, I’m really sorry, but while your bottle of pills is extremely valuable, I prefer this gentleman’s elixir, my apologies."

He then handed back the bottle of Breakthrough Pills to Tang Chuchu.

Tang Chuchu looked anxious, "Even if his bottle of pills is more powerful than we thought, mine were refined by a master of the Medicine Sect, and there’s a full bottle of them!"

Li Duoyu smiled apologetically, "Miss Tang, the quality of pills is in their potency, not their quantity. If I may be so bold, one pill from this gentleman might well be worth your entire bottle, I’m sorry."
