Urban Super Medical Sage-Chapter 782 - 776: Reminder (3 updates)

"Yes, six to seven years old!"

"Dragon Tooth Grass of six to seven years is extremely rare. A single plant can sell for fifty thousand Black Xuan Stones."

"That much?" Su Chen was overjoyed. Fifty thousand Black Xuan Stones for one plant, so how much for ten million plants? Fifty billion Black Xuan Stones? An astronomical figure. Even if half of the Dragon Tooth Grass seedlings died during cultivation in the past two days, it would still fetch an income of twenty-five billion Black Xuan Stones!

Could the royal family of the Nan’e Ancient Kingdom, with their ten thousand years of accumulation, muster up several thousand billion Black Xuan Stones? That was questionable.

"Su Chen, are you sure you can..." Su Wanqing still couldn’t quite accept it, as if she were dreaming.

"Ten million Dragon Tooth Grass seedlings, I’ll take them all!" Su Chen took a deep breath and said, "No matter the cost, I’ll pay..."

Su Wanqing was silent for a long time before she said, "Those herb seedlings aren’t valuable, no need for payment. I’ll wait for you to create miracles in two to three days!"

"If I were to produce so many finished Dragon Tooth Grasses, could your Xuan Qing Commerce Guild digest them all?"

"Even if it were ten times, a hundred times more, we could still handle it. Su Chen, you don’t realize just how scarce Dragon Tooth Grass is!" Su Wanqing said with a bitter smile. "The whole Divine Martial Continent is short on Dragon Tooth Grass, even the Buddha Domain lacks it!"

"That’s good to hear." Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief and then added, "If you trust me, I suggest you talk with the Sacred Auction House in the next couple of days..."

"Talk about what?"

"Talk about buying into the auction!" Su Chen said with a smile. "Do you know what buying into means?"

Buying into is a term from Earth Huaxia.

"I can more or less understand." Su Wanqing, being a formidable businesswoman of the Divine Martial Continent, naturally understood.

"That’s good. You buy into this one auction at the Sacred Auction, of course, limited to this one time, and you’re definitely going to make a huge profit," Su Chen confidently declared.

Once he had cultivated the ten million Dragon Tooth Grasses and had gained tens of millions of Black Xuan Stones, on the day of the auction, he would smash all competition with Black Xuan Stones.

Naturally, at that time, most items at the auction would sell at much higher prices, after all, he didn’t care about the price, only about the treasures.

That auction at the Sacred Auction would definitely be extremely lucrative, and if Su Wanqing bought into it, she could certainly make a huge profit along with them.

Su Wanqing nodded, almost understanding what Su Chen wanted to do. She couldn’t help frowning, "Su Chen, the auction in three days is the Nan’e Ancient Capital’s annual super auction. Many top prodigies, superpowers, and super geniuses have been waiting for a long time. If you go too far, you might be resented."

"It doesn’t matter," Su Chen said with a smile.

He wasn’t stealing or robbing. Wasn’t it okay to simply outbid others with money? At an auction, the highest bidder wins. That’s the rule. Wasn’t it fine to play within the rules?

Of course, if he was resented and someone wanted to play outside the rules, like attempting direct robbery... Heh, that was also fine! He didn’t mind having people deliver themselves to death. He wasn’t fond of killing but didn’t mind it either!

"Alright then!" Seeing that Su Chen was decidedly set on his plan, Su Wanqing didn’t say anything further. "I’ll go get the Dragon Tooth Grass seedlings for you!"

With that, she turned and left.

"Su Chen, are you really going to mess around at the auction in three days?" Li Ping spoke, "Su Wanqing wasn’t joking, the Sacred Auction is extremely important for all the strong competitors, monsters, and forces in the Nan’e Ancient Capital. Everyone is gathering their strength just to secure good items at the auction. This includes the Li Family, who have also been preparing for a long time and hope to win one or two treasures. If you go too far, you will become a public enemy. Although you are very strong, there are always people stronger than you, heavens beyond the heavens. I won’t mention the old generation super geniuses, but Nangong Wu..."

"You mentioned Nangong Wu again." Su Chen glanced at Li Ping strangely: "I’m well aware of the pride in your bones, but you’ve brought up Nangong Wu twice now, is she really that powerful?"

"Once, I witnessed a battle between her and an old monster at the Sixth Layer of the Vaulted Extreme Realm, and it was just a year ago," Li Ping said after a moment of silence.

"Did she win?"

"Not only did she win, but when she made her last move, merely a trace of the Qi from her sword injured me heavily, even though I wasn’t too close!"

Su Chen’s expression slightly changed; this Nangong Wu indeed seemed terrifyingly exaggerated.

"Within Nan’e Ancient Capital, among the younger generation called top prodigy, there are probably seven or eight, but in my view, those other top prodigies simply don’t qualify to be mentioned in the same breath as Nangong Wu; Nangong Wu is in one league and the rest are in another."

"Got it, I’ll be careful about this Nangong Wu!" Su Chen nodded, although Li Ping spoke indifferently, he knew she was concerned about him. Of course, Li Ping herself might not admit that it was concern.

"Nangong Wu attends the Sacred Auction every year."

Su Chen raised an eyebrow: "Has Nangong Wu’s strength exceeded the Vaulted Extreme Realm?"

"It shouldn’t have." Li Ping shook her head, "Exceeding the Vaulted Extreme Realm means reaching the legendary Ancestral King Realm. Throughout the Divine Martial Continent, except for the Buddha Domain, there probably is no Ancestral King Realm because progressing further in the Ancestral King Realm requires a very high concentration of Spiritual Energy, which, except for the Buddha Domain, no other domain in the Divine Martial Continent can support."

"I see," Su Chen memorized, the Ancestral King Realm, huh? It sounds terrifying!

As long as Nangong Wu hasn’t exceeded the scope of the Vaulted Extreme Realm to reach the Ancestral King Realm, Su Chen was confident.

With his current strength, revealing all his hidden cards, he should be on par in a battle with someone at the Ninth Layer Realm of the Vaulted Extreme.

And if he were to harness Jiuyou’s power, he genuinely believed he could defeat all the Vaulted Extreme Realm powerhouses, including those half-step into the Ancestral King Realm.

Thus, Nangong Wu wasn’t much of a concern.

After Su Chen and Li Ping conversed for a short while, Su Wanqing returned. She handed Su Chen a storage bag: "Ten million Dragon Tooth Grass!"

"Thank you!" Su Chen sincerely said. If not through Su Wanqing, buying ten million Dragon Tooth Grass in one go would actually be somewhat troublesome. The Xuan Qing Commerce Guild might not sell them and, even if they did, it would probably cause a big fuss.

"I should be the one thanking you," Su Wanqing bit her lip slightly: "Su Chen, you... be careful, you killed Zhong Yitian; the Zhong Family will definitely retaliate, especially Zhong Ting’er, she’s Zhong Yitian’s sister, and now the emperor’s most beloved concubine..."

"Thanks!" Su Chen nodded, "I’ll be careful."

Then, Su Chen turned and left.

"Su Chen, it seems Miss Su has a soft spot for you, huh, she even knows to remind you about Zhong Ting’er being Zhong Yitian’s sister," Li Ping said coldly once they walked out of the Xuan Qing Commerce Guild, her voice tinged with some mockery.

"Reminding me about the Zhong Family means she has feelings for me?" Su Chen chuckled playfully: "If I remember correctly, Li Ping, you’ve also warned me. So, that means you have feelings for me too!"
