Divine King of Honour-Chapter 760 - 759: Ancient Spiritual Field
"Don't go, how about 8,000 Low Grade Spirit Stones, just 8,000 Spirit Stones, and this Black Dragon Phoenix Dance Grass is yours," Bu Keng hastily clung to Xu Nian's thigh and said.
"Bu Keng, don't treat us as fools, I've never heard of Low Grade Spiritual Medicine exceeding three thousand Low Grade Spirit Stones," Xu Nian looked at Bu Keng and said with a smile.
"It's different, my Black Dragon Phoenix Dance Grass is absolutely comparable to Mid-grade Spiritual Medicine, you can take a closer look, how many dragons and phoenixes are there?" Bu Keng quickly said.
Having said that, he handed the Black Dragon Phoenix Dance Grass to Xu Nian.
Xu Nian took a look and his face immediately showed a look of surprise.
In this Black Dragon Phoenix Dance Grass, there were actually three dragons and three phoenixes.
The typical Black Dragon Phoenix Dance Grass, even if high Grade, only had one dragon and one phoenix.
But now, this Black Dragon Phoenix Dance Grass actually had three dragons and three phoenixes.
This meant that this Black Dragon Phoenix Dance Grass was at least three levels higher than the top-quality Black Dragon Phoenix Dance Grass.
"How about it, I told you my Black Dragon Phoenix Dance Grass is different from the ordinary ones, this is the best of the best, its medicinal effect is five times that of the ordinary," Bu Keng said proudly.
Xu Nian also looked surprised and asked, "Where did you get this Black Dragon Phoenix Dance Grass, how can there be such a Grade of Black Dragon Phoenix Dance Grass?"
Xu Nian was amazed in his heart.
If it were an ordinary place, it would be impossible to grow such a Grade of Black Dragon Phoenix Dance Grass.
The place where such a Grade of Black Dragon Phoenix Dance Grass could grow must be extraordinary.
Xuan Hong and Hong Xiang also looked at Bu Keng, clearly very surprised as well.
"Hehe, this Black Dragon Phoenix Dance Grass, I risked my life to get it, and it involves a big secret. If you want to know, I can sell the information to you, Amitabha Buddha," Bu Keng said with a chuckle.
After speaking, he also didn't forget to chant a Buddhist name.
Hong Xiang and Xuan Hong were both speechless.
This Bu Keng was just too greedy!
He was even thinking about making money!
Who came up with that Buddhist name in the first place?
"How about this, this Black Dragon Phoenix Dance Grass plus your information for five thousand Low Grade Spirit Stones, will you sell?" Xu Nian said with a smile.
"Only five thousand? At least seven thousand!" Bu Keng immediately said displeased.
Xu Nian just smiled and said, "Your Black Dragon Phoenix Dance Grass is high quality, but after all, it is still Low Grade Spiritual Medicine, and you want to sell it at the price of Mid-grade Spiritual Medicine, which is absolutely impossible. Moreover, the substitutability of Black Dragon Phoenix Dance Grass is too strong, five thousand, I will not give you a cent more."
Hearing this, Bu Keng's face showed a hesitant look.
Xu Nian didn't waste words, he directly took out a storage ring and transferred five thousand Low Grade Spirit Stones into it.
Then he handed the storage ring to Bu Keng.
Bu Keng looked at the storage ring, and finally accepted it.
"Well, I'll consider this a benefit for a regular customer, but next time we do business, you better not haggle like this!" Bu Keng hastily said.
Xu Nian smiled noncommittally.
It was a pity for Bu Keng not to be a cunning businessman.
To make him a monk would absolutely be a waste of talent.
"Tell me, what is your secret information?" Xu Nian asked with a smile.
If such spiritual medicine could grow there, that piece of land must be extraordinarily remarkable.
"In a canyon, three thousand miles east from this city, there is an Ancient Spiritual Field and an ancient well, it is said to be inhabited by an Ancient Strange Beast, and I picked this Black Dragon Phoenix Dance Grass from there," Bu Keng said.
"Oh? An Ancient Spiritual Field?" Xu Nian's face showed a look of surprise.
The so-called Ancient Spiritual Field was naturally a place where ancient predecessors planted Spiritual Medicine.
And such places usually have Spiritual Medicines that are extremely old.
At the same time, ancient predecessors would also lay down strong Spirit Gathering Arrays to ensure that these Spiritual Medicines could absorb enough Spiritual Energy.
"Willn't this Medicine Field attract the attention of everyone?" Xu Nian asked.
"Indeed, this Spiritual Medicine has caused quite a stir," Bu Keng replied. "Even the Medicine King from Medicine King Valley made a move. However, that Ancient Strange Beast is strong and doesn't allow anyone to approach. Plus, there's a terrifying Killing Array there. I only managed to secretly pluck one while it was napping. Even then, it chased me for a good while, Amitabha Buddha."
Xu Nian and Hong Xiang exchanged glances, surprised expressions emerging on their faces.
If that was the case, he really needed to check it out.
There might be other medicinal materials he needed.
And Xu Nian was also quite curious about that Ancient Exotic Beast.
"Benefactor, if you wish to go, I can lead the way for you, rest assured it's free." Bu Keng said with a smile.
Xu Nian and the others immediately frowned.
It would have been fine if Bu Keng hadn't said that last part.
That statement alone blatantly revealed his nature as a sly merchant.
And seeing the smile on his face, it was clear he was up to something.
Perhaps he wanted to take advantage of their entry into the gorge to try and gain something himself.
"Alright then, lead the way," Xu Nian said.
"Alright!" Bu Keng immediately responded.
With that, he took out a string of prayer beads from around his neck.
Quietly chanting scriptures, a dazzling Buddha light suddenly surged from the beads.
"Collect!"
As soon as Bu Keng spoke, the items on the stalls were collected into the beads.
He then carefully hung the beads back around his neck.
Witnessing this, Xu Nian was once again speechless.
So, Bu Keng stored his possessions in the prayer beads.
The storage ring on his hand was likely just for show.
"What a cunning and greedy monk, truly attached to wealth," Xu Nian thought to himself with a chuckle.
"Let's go!" Bu Keng then smiled at Xu Nian.
He then took the lead, heading towards the east of the city.
Xu Nian and Hong Xiang had no choice but to follow.
"Why did you let him lead us? His information clearly trapped us, and he admitted it caused quite a stir. That means many people must already know," Hong Xiang's voice echoed in Xu Nian's mind.
Hearing this, Xu Nian's expression remained unchanged.
But he chuckled inwardly.
"I know that, but although Bu Keng is greedy, he doesn't seem like a bad person. He's clearly been on this continent for a long time. We three know nothing about this continent; it's perfect to get some information we need from him, so we don't encounter unnecessary trouble," Xu Nian transmitted back with a smile.
At that, Hong Xiang nodded understandingly.
She didn't say anything more.
No matter how strong a person is, without sufficient information, they're like a blind master.
Ultimately, they could very well be led into a deadly pitfall.
So, Xu Nian's reason for using Bu Keng as a guide was clear.
Of course, he would still be cautious, not fully trusting him.
Thus, the group of four left the city, continuously heading east.
