Chapter 125: Chapter 125 This is What I Gave Extra

Tang Chuchu gritted her teeth and glared at Chen Fan, her little fists clenched tightly.

Lu Qinghuan said with a smile, "Where’s that smugness you had just now?"

"Hmph!" Tang Chuchu snorted coldly and ignored Lu Qinghuan.

Li Duoyu handed over the five-hundred-year-old Blood Ganoderma to Chen Fan, "Mr. Chen, this Blood Ganoderma is yours now."

Chen Fan accepted it with a smile, a trace of excitement on his face.

A medicinal herb growing for two to three hundred years is relatively common, and thus, it’s not unusual to see two or three-hundred-year-old Spiritual Medicines at major auction events.

However, five-hundred-year medicinal herbs are rare treasures, even in the Cultivation World.

That’s because five hundred years is a threshold. Most medicinal herbs will start to lose their potency and gradually wither after reaching that age.

Only a select few, by chance and serendipity, can surpass this barrier and continue to thrive.

Those that do breach this barrier not only contain abundant Spiritual Energy from heaven and earth but also develop a degree of Spirituality, stepping out of the ordinary category of medicinal herbs.

Only herbs that reach five hundred years are capable of being crafted into divine elixirs that greatly benefit Cultivators.

So, it was seeing this Blood Ganoderma that prompted Chen Fan to bid.

The Blood Ganoderma wasn’t enough for him to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, but it could be made into a divine elixir with effects far surpassing the Cultivation Pill.

After the auction ended, everyone left the venue.

Chen Fan looked at Lu Qinghuan, "Let’s go."

At that moment, Tang Chuchu and an elder in black robes blocked their path.

Tang Chuchu stared coldly at Chen Fan, "I’ll give you one billion, give me the Blood Ganoderma."

Chen Fan raised an eyebrow, "No deal."

Tang Chuchu frowned, "What, is that not enough for you?"

Chen Fan chuckled coldly, "All those quirky and odd items earlier fetched at least a billion each, and you offer only one billion for a five-hundred-year-old Blood Ganoderma? Do you think I’m a fool?"

Tang Chuchu clenched her teeth, "You pretty-boy, what do you need so much money for? One should know one’s own value; one billion is already more than generous."

Chen Fan couldn’t help but laugh, then he rummaged through his pockets to find a crumpled ten-dollar bill and threw it at Tang Chuchu, "Here’s ten bucks. You can spend the night with me."

Tang Chuchu’s face turned red, "Am I only worth ten dollars in your eyes?"

Chen Fan sneered, "That’s already more than you deserve."

Tang Chuchu, furious, her chest heaving with anger, "You’re asking for it! Elder Yun, snatch his Blood Ganoderma and slap him ten times for me!"

Lu Qinghuan stepped in front of Chen Fan, "If you dare to make a move, you should consider whether you can leave Longhai alive!"

Tang Chuchu’s face was full of resentment, but, mindful that Longhai was the Lu Family’s territory, she dared not be too presumptuous, even with Elder Yun’s protection.

She looked at Chen Fan, "Are you sure you won’t sell the Blood Ganoderma to me?"

Chen Fan nodded, "No need to be sure. Even if I were giving it away, I wouldn’t give it to you."

"Fine! Remember what you said. You’ll regret this sooner or later!" Tang Chuchu turned angrily, "Elder Yun, let’s go!"

Elder Yun sighed helplessly, thinking that his young mistress was still too reckless; perhaps if she had spoken kindly from the start, Chen Fan might have been willing to sell.

Lu Qinghuan watched their retreating figures, "This Ms. Tang is just too unreasonable."

She then picked up the ten dollars from the ground, looked at Chen Fan with a shy expression, "Mr. Chen, she doesn’t want this ten dollars, but I’m willing. Or, it could even be for free – can I spend the night with you?"

Chen Fan: "..."

...

Tang Chuchu and Elder Yun arrived outside the auction house.

"I’m so angry! That bastard wouldn’t sell me the Lingzhi, and he even insulted me by saying I’m only worth ten dollars! If this were in Binhai, I’d have killed him!" Tang Chuchu screamed hysterically.

She saw a barricade nearby and, still fuming, kicked it forcefully.

Thump.

The roadblock clattered onto a cylindrical bollard.

Tang Chuchu’s toe almost snapped off.

Hopping on one foot, tears nearly spilled from her eyes as she whimpered, "Sniff, sniff, even this damned roadblock is bullying me..."

Elder Yun sighed, "Miss, please calm down. Sometimes being too hasty isn’t a good thing."

Looking aggrieved, Tang Chuchu turned to Elder Yun, "Now that the five-hundred-year-old Spiritual Medicine is gone, and Longhai City is the Lu Family’s territory, we can’t just take it by force. What are we going to do about my sister’s illness now?"

Elder Yun said, "Miss, don’t despair just yet. Before coming to Longhai, the head of the family had already consulted a true Daoist cultivator, who predicted that a treasure would appear in Longhai soon."

"The Blood Ganoderma was only our Plan A. Now that the Blood Ganoderma has been taken by someone else, let’s try to find the about-to-emerge treasure. Perhaps this treasure could also cure your sister’s illness."

Tang Chuchu asked, "Where can we find this treasure?"

Elder Yun said, "I’ve already had it investigated. It’s in the suburbs of Longhai. The Lu Family has a mine nearby, so we mustn’t let word get out. If the Lu Family finds out and sends a Transformation Realm Grandmaster, we won’t stand a chance."

Tang Chuchu nodded earnestly.

"The suburbs of Longhai are vast. Even knowing the general location, it will take time to find the exact place where the treasure will appear. We should set out for the suburbs tomorrow to start our search," Elder Yun continued.

"Okay."

...

Longhai Hotel.

Inside the Presidential Suite.

Chen Fan laid the Blood Ganoderma and the auxiliary herbs he had bought on the road onto the table.

He sat down cross-legged on the carpet and began to sift through the memories in his mind.

After a while, he raised his hand and with a wave, a surge of Spiritual Power enveloped the Blood Ganoderma, levitating it in midair.

"In less than half a month, the Cold Jade Marrow will be fully grown, and then I will be able to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm. Since this is the case, I’ll use the Blood Ganoderma to prepare the Gathering Yuan Pill."

The so-called Gathering Yuan Pill is a divine elixir that can cleanse the marrow, stabilize the foundation, and concentrate one’s life force.

Even Cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Realm covet the Gathering Yuan Pill.

"This time, I’ll try making the elixir using Spiritual Power," Chen Fan muttered to himself, his palm emitting a continuous flow of Spiritual Energy that enveloped the Blood Ganoderma.

The force within the Spiritual Energy began to melt the Blood Ganoderma, slowly separating its essence from the impurities.

"It is said that some Cultivators can produce True Fire within their bodies, possessing immense might. It can be used not only to slay enemies but also for Alchemy."

"With True Fire, it would probably only take a few seconds to completely refine this Blood Ganoderma, not like me having to do it bit by bit."

"If only I could also produce True Fire within my body."

Five hours later, Chen Fan finally extracted the essence of the Blood Ganoderma.

The originally sizeable Blood Ganoderma turned into a clump of blood-red viscous liquid, suspended in the air.

Then Chen Fan began refining the auxiliary herbs.

Blobs of variously colored liquids started to merge into the blood-red liquid.

This process was exceedingly slow, as Chen Fan needed to control the medicinal properties of each herb to blend together correctly.

If there was any incompatibility, the preparation would fail.

The refinement took two days and two nights in total.

On the morning of the third day, Chen Fan stopped channeling Spiritual Power, and brought his hands together.

The liquid in midair quickly contracted, and in the blink of an eye, all the moisture evaporated, forming twenty-one peanut-sized pills.

A rich medicinal fragrance instantly filled the entire hotel.

Chen Fan’s lips curled into a smile.

"Success!"
