Chapter 1814 - 7: "The Black Nether Tree King’s Rhizome—I’ll Take It!

"This is the young master of the Long Family, Long Wanhong!"

Someone recognized this young master and immediately whispered.

The Long Family naturally refers to the one in Dragon Blood City.

Although this Long Wanhong is just a side branch of the Long Family.

He still holds an incredibly noble status.

Everyone must try to curry favor with him.

To put it bluntly.

Even if a servant from the Long Family comes out, they are still high-ranking figures and objects of flattery from countless people.

Let alone the young masters of the Long Family.

...

"Black Nether Root! One million Source Crystal Stones!" said the man sitting cross-legged.

"The Black Nether Root is highly toxic, useful for making poisons, and at most, it’s worth a hundred thousand Source Crystal Stones! This guy dares to ask such a price!"

"This kid must have gone mad for money!"

Many of the onlookers started to discuss it spiritedly.

Long Wanhong of the Long Family sneered, the sound carrying a meaningful undertone.

A servant next to Long Wanhong took out a storage bag and threw it to the man.

Then the servant attempted to take the Black Nether Root.

The man inspected it and grabbed the servant’s hand.

The servant’s expression suddenly darkened, and he said, "What are you doing?"

"I offered one million for the Black Nether Root! You only have ten thousand here! What does this mean?" the man said coldly.

There was an immediate uproar around them.

Although the Black Nether Root isn’t worth a million, ten thousand Source Crystal Stones is too low.

It’s as if it’s being taken for free.

However, to the surrounding cultivators, since it’s the price offered by the Long Family’s young master.

Then.

The price of the Black Nether Root is ten thousand.

Because this is Dragon Blood City.

The power of the Long Family is too great.

Dare to defy the young master of the Long Family? Do you have a death wish?

Long Wanhong said indifferently, "In this Dragon Blood City! What my Long Family says is one is one, what we say is two is two, even if one of my Long Family members points at a deer and says it’s a horse! Then that deer is a horse and not a deer! This is the dignity of my Long Family, these ten thousand Source Crystal Stones, I am buying your Black Nether Root and also buying the information about the Black Nether Tree! Today, whether you agree or not, you must agree!"

Clearly, Long Wanhong intended to bully with his power.

But the Long Family’s strength is indeed powerful, not something an ordinary person can provoke.

The man coldly said, "My Black Nether Root! It’s the root of the Black Nether Tree King, the root of the Black Nether Tree King not only serves as a crucial main ingredient for making extremely toxic medicines, even in crafting many spiritual elixirs! The root of the Black Nether Tree King can play a major role, and it has a unique feature that ordinary Black Nether Roots can’t compare to: it can cultivate Black Nether Tree seedlings, as long as you find the right soil and carefully cultivate, new seedlings will undoubtedly sprout! Such a treasure, you think you can take it for ten thousand Source Crystal Stones? Even if you are from the Long Family, you absolutely cannot take it!"

Upon hearing the man’s words, many people were shocked.

No wonder the price of this Black Nether Root is so high. It turns out it’s not an ordinary Black Nether Root.

But the root of the Black Nether Tree King.

If it truly can cultivate a Black Nether Tree.

Is one million Source Crystal Stones expensive for the root of the Black Nether Tree King?

Not only is it not expensive, but it is extremely cheap.

At this moment, many people looked at the man and found him somewhat downcast, with many wondering that perhaps this person must have encountered some trouble and needed a large amount of Source Crystal Stones, which is why he was selling the root of the Black Nether Tree King, otherwise, how could such an item be casually sold?

Many were interested in buying.

But considering Long Wanhong also had his eyes on the treasure, they quickly backed down.

They dared not offend Long Wanhong.

...

"The root of the Black Nether Tree King! Hahaha! Excellent! This young master must have this treasure! Offering you ten thousand Source Crystal Stones is giving you face, don’t refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit!"

Long Wanhong laughed, wearing a high-and-mighty expression.

In fact, in the top-tier families, those direct-lineage young masters who are prioritized by the family often wouldn’t bully others like this.

Because they simply disdain to do so.

Instead, it’s these side branch children like Long Wanhong who love to do such things, blatantly exploiting the support of the great forces behind them.

One reason is that they want to show off their noble status outside to satisfy their vanity; another is that they aren’t valued much by the family and find it hard to achieve great accomplishments in cultivation, so they might as well enjoy themselves.

To support their luxurious lifestyle, they naturally need capital, so sometimes they resort to taking by force.

Much like what is happening today.

It’s not the first time Long Wanhong has done such things, but relying on his identity as the young master of the Long Family, many people have chosen to endure in silence.

At this time, a voice suddenly rang out, "I’ll take that Black Nether Tree King’s root!"

When this voice echoed, the surroundings became dead silent, many wearing expressions of sheer disbelief.

Someone actually dared to snatch something from Long Wanhong’s hands?

Are they courting death?

All eyes turned toward the source of the voice, and they saw a young master stepping forward.

This person was Lin Feng.

With a leisurely and composed look.

Lin Feng came up to the stall, waved his hand, and a river of Source Crystal Stones worth one million flowed out.

"The Source Crystal Stones are yours, brother! As for the Black Nether Root, it belongs to me!"

Lin Feng took the Black Nether Root.

Encountering a treasure like the Black Nether Root, how could Lin Feng pass it up?

He planned to cultivate a bit in his Mountain River Ring, if he could grow a Black Nether Tree, it would be a colossal opportunity.

The man took a deep look at Lin Feng before accepting the one million Source Crystal Stones given to him.

"Kid! Do you dare to snatch something this young master has his eye on?" Long Wanhong glared at Lin Feng with murderous intent.

Gu Yun’er, standing in the crowd, was nearly fainting from anger.

Because Lin Feng was nothing but trouble.

That was the young master of the Long Family.

Lin Feng actually competed with the young master of the Long Family for a treasure.

Isn’t this asking for death?

Gu Yun’er couldn’t help but wail internally, as if she could already foresee the difficulty they would have leaving Dragon Blood City alive with Lin Feng.

"You know the rule of buying and selling! To the highest bidder it belongs, you wouldn’t be unaware of this, right? You offer ten thousand Source Crystal Stones, I offer one million Source Crystal Stones, if you want it, continue raising the bid!"

Lin Feng said calmly.

In the eyes of many, Long Wanhong was someone not to be offended.

But in Lin Feng’s eyes, Long Wanhong was nothing more than a minor character.

He naturally wouldn’t take him seriously.

Long Wanhong’s eyes were full of a sinister glare as he looked at Lin Feng, "There are some people in this world that you can never afford to offend. Once you offend such a person! You will regret it for a lifetime! And I am exactly that person you cannot afford to offend."

"You? Someone I cannot afford to offend? Are you just arrogantly flattering yourself? Not to mention you’re just a minor side branch child of the Long Family; even the direct lineage inheritors of the Long Family wouldn’t dare act so presumptuously in front of me!"

Lin Feng said dismissively.

His words set off a huge uproar immediately.

Many people stared at Lin Feng, dumbfounded.

Who exactly was this guy?

Isn’t he way too arrogant?
