Urban Super Medical Sage-Chapter 781 - 775: Ghostly Divine Ability (2nd Update)

These twelve billion Black Xuan Stones, Su Chen was not planning to carelessly purchase those defective low-grade and middle-grade divine artifacts.

Because even if those low-grade and middle-grade defective divine artifacts were to explode, the power they unleashed was not impressive enough in Su Chen’s current eyes.

In this situation, Su Chen wanted cash; then, with the cash in hand, he could go to the auction house to see if he could scoop up some good stuff, right?

For Su Chen at the moment, what he most desired to enhance his strength was what? Essence Blood of Ancient Demonic Beasts, Beast Bones, True Fire Spirits—that would be the best. Of course, it would be even better if he could come across Essence Blood and Beast Bones of Primordial Demonic Beasts, Divine Fire Spirits, and so on.

"Su Chen, do you have any secrets that I don’t know about?" Suddenly, Li Ping, who had been silent up to now, blurted out.

"There are many, I couldn’t finish telling them even if I talked for three days and three nights. Ping’er, do you want to know?" Su Chen joked, in a very good mood.

"I don’t want to!" Li Ping said coldly, her words at odds with her heart.

She was indeed curious; since Su Chen’s sudden arrival in Nan’e Ancient Capital, he seemed to be creating miracles all the time.

There were too many secrets hidden within Su Chen, and her curiosity couldn’t help but take control, although she would never admit it aloud.

"Women!" A playful smile appeared on Su Chen’s lips: "It’s said that when they say they don’t want something, that’s when they want it the most..."

"You’re thinking too much!" Li Ping’s voice grew even colder.

At that moment, Su Wanqing came back and handed a storage bag to Su Chen.

After checking, indeed, twelve billion Black Xuan Stones—a colossal sum!!! How immense? Let’s say even the top families in Nan’e Ancient Capital wouldn’t dream of gathering twelve billion Black Xuan Stones in a short time.

In the entire Nan’e Ancient Capital’s top young generation, apart from Nangong Wu, perhaps no one could take out more than five billion Black Xuan Stones in one go.

In a word, extravagant, extravagance that reached the skies.

"Young Master Su is preparing for the auction, aren’t you?" Su Wanqing suddenly asked.

"Oh? There’s an auction?" Su Chen asked, with a hint of surprise, trying to appear nonchalant.

He indeed had the auction in mind, as only at auctions can one find those truly top-level treasures; but from what Su Wanqing was saying, was there an auction happening soon?

"Young Master Su doesn’t know? That’s understandable, you just arrived in Nan’e Ancient Capital today." Su Wanqing said with a smile, "Young Master Su is quite lucky. There is going to be an auction in three days at the Sacred Auction House!"

"Sacred Auction House?"

"There are over ten large auction houses in the entire Nan’e Ancient Capital, but when it comes to the strongest, it has to be the Sacred Auction House. The overall strength of the Sacred Auction House isn’t any less than that of the Xuan Qing Commerce Guild. Their main focus is on auctions, and they hold them only once a year, which means a long interval. However, every Sacred Auction is known to feature a Supreme Treasure, and it has never disappointed anyone." Su Wanqing explained slowly, and then she glanced at Li Ping: "Miss Li should be very clear about this point."

"Thirteen years ago, my father won a piece of Stone Milk that was a million years old at the Sacred Auction House. After he refined that piece of Stone Milk, he broke through three Minor Realms in one fell swoop," Li Ping said coldly as she explained to Su Chen.

Su Chen’s eyes shone brighter, but deep down, an insane and greedy idea took root. Then, he said in a deep voice, "Miss Wanqing, how many sprouts of the Dragon Tooth Grass does the Xuan Qing Commerce Guild have in total?"

"Why does Young Master Su ask this?" Su Wanqing was somewhat puzzled, but soon, she realized why. The Spirit-Returning Grass and others that Su Chen just traded seemed to be of a similar type to the Dragon Tooth Grass, which could gain tremendous value within a short period, yet were exceedingly difficult to cultivate.

Could it be... Su Wanqing had a guess, but she was somewhat afraid to believe it. If her speculation was true, did that not mean that Su Chen could...

Her heart thumped violently, frightened by her own thoughts.

"Miss Wanqing, your guess is correct!" It was at this moment that Su Chen said solemnly, "I hope Miss Wanqing will keep it a secret. You must know the trouble that will arise once my secret is revealed!"

Su Wanqing’s delicate body trembled!!!

She lifted her head and stared intently at Su Chen, breathless.

Her guess was true? Wasn’t that terrifying? Didn’t it mean that if Su Chen wished, he might only need a short amount of time to possess trillions of Black Xuan Stone, tens of trillions... endless Black Xuan Stone?

She was stunned for several breaths before Su Wanqing’s face suddenly turned serious and said, "Young Master Su, Wanqing swears to the Heavenly Dao to keep this secret; if Wanqing reveals it, please let the Heavenly Dao inflict the Heavenly Punishment and reduce Wanqing to ashes!"

"Miss Wanqing, there’s no need to be so solemn. Since I’ve spoken out, it is because I trust you," Su Chen said with a bitter smile.

On one hand, he truly trusted Su Wanqing, and on the other, he had no choice but to reveal it, as he needed to acquire a large number of Dragon Tooth Grass sprouts from the Xuan Qing Commerce Guild, and then, within three days, sell the mature Dragon Tooth Grass back to the Xuan Qing Commerce Guild—inevitably exposing his ability to cultivate short-term Precious Herbs in a brief period.

Why was Su Chen so eager to gather more Black Xuan Stone? He had made up his mind to make a big splash at the Sacred Auction taking place in three days.

One hundred and twenty billion was an astoundingly fearsome number, but if one truly wanted a thorough and heaven-shaking performance at the auction, even sweeping up everything and swallowing all the Treasures, one hundred and twenty billion wouldn’t be enough.

"Young Master Su, right now, the Xuan Qing Commerce Guild has over ten million sprouts of Dragon Tooth Grass," Su Wanqing finally said.

"That many?" Su Chen’s eyes widened in surprise, to be honest, he was shocked.

"Dragon Tooth Grass sprouts are cultivated from Dragon Tooth Grass seeds. If you scatter a handful of seeds, you’ll have thousands of sprouts, so ten million sprouts are just a few thousand pounds of seeds!" Su Wanqing explained, "In fact, out of ten million Dragon Tooth Grass sprouts, only about a thousandth or even a ten-thousandth will successfully grow into mature herbs. Dragon Tooth Grass is quite difficult to cultivate; it’s more suited to the atmosphere of the Ancient Era. In the present time, it’s not suitable for the Dragon Tooth Grass."

Su Chen nodded, yet what he was thinking was that no matter how unsuitable the Dragon Tooth Grass was for the Qi of this era, surviving for two or three days should be possible, right? Three days, through the Temporal Heavenly Dao, would be equivalent to six or seven years—enough.

Without hesitation, Su Chen asked, "How much is a sprout of six or seven years old Dragon Tooth Grass worth?"

"Six or seven years old?" Su Wanqing was breathless once again. If Su Chen was saying that, did it mean that he could turn Dragon Tooth Grass sprouts into six or seven years old mature herbs within three days? What kind of ability was that? A Ghostly Divine Ability? If it weren’t for Su Chen’s serious tone, and also the fact that she had previously traded over a hundred billion worth of herbs, she wouldn’t quite believe it.
