Huh?
The noblewon were stunned.
"There really are fools willing to buy it! And they started at ten thousand taels of silver!"
"It’s just ordinary Thunderstruck Wood."
"Too young! Chen Silin is a rchant. He makes up an unverifiable story, and they believe him."
Zhu Jianshen, upon hearing it was Jiang Fan,
imdiately felt furious. He was about to raise the bid.
Because of Jiang Fan, the Zhu Family had overpaid by four hundred thousand taels, and he wanted Jiang Fan to pay the price.
He noticed, however, that Jiang Fan was looking at him with a slight smile.
Zhu Jianshen suddenly realized,
"That filthy scoundrel, trying to trick the Zhu Family’s money again! Almost fell for it!"
He quickly closed his mouth, crossed his arms over his chest, and smirked at Jiang Fan’s performance.
Chen Silin was taken aback, not expecting Jiang Fan to bid.
After inquiring three tis with no one willing to compete for the worthless Thunderstruck Wood, it sold for ten thousand taels of silver.
"Young Master Jiang, did you perhaps see sothing special in this piece of Thunderstruck Wood?"
Chen Silin couldn’t help but ask curiously.
From a distance, Zhu Jianshen sneered, "Anything special? Just that no one got tricked this ti, and he beca the fool! Hahaha!"
Wang Yingfeng also snorted in displeasure, "Embarrassing! Spending ten thousand taels of silver on a piece of broken wood! Outrageous!"
Xu Yining indifferently gazed at Jiang Fan, "Just a nouveau riche, does he really think he can afford to throw money around?"
Xu Youran silently criticized as well.
Ten thousand taels!
For a piece of broken wood?
She couldn’t understand why Jiang Fan would buy it at such a high price.
On stage,
Jiang Fan accepted the Thunderstruck Wood and slightly nodded as he wrote, "It’s indeed not ordinary wood."
"Though it appears insignificant, it hides sothing valuable."
After speaking, he discreetly used powerful soul power to probe deep into the Thunderstruck Wood, forcing out tiny drops of erald green liquid that were invisible to the naked eye.
He collected them one by one with a jade bottle.
A mont later,
when no more erald green droplets remained, the jade bottle was full, emitting a deep fragrance.
Xu Yining sniffed it and imdiately stood up, exclaiming, "Plant Essence! It’s Plant Essence!"
Zhu Jianshen also recognized it and quickly ca over, looking shocked, "It’s indeed Plant Essence!"
So experienced noblewon were also filled with shock.
"Plant Essence is said to be the accumulated essence of plants that have beco spirits over the years."
"When a martial artist in the Qi Cultivation Realm consus it, they can directly break through a realm. Even a cultivator in the Foundation Establishnt Realm can significantly enhance their cultivation with it!"
"It’s a divine object that’s hard to find even for a million taels outside!"
"And he got it for just ten thousand taels?"
"A single bottle is enough for four people to break through!"
These words made the noblewon’s eyes light up.
"This young master, my Zheng Family is willing to offer four hundred thousand taels of silver for just one-third of the Plant Essence."
When reaching the sixth layer of Qi Cultivation, without top-notch Spirit Roots, breaking through each level required astronomical resources.
Spending just four hundred thousand taels to break through a level was an unbeatable bargain!
Zhu Jianshen regretted deeply, feeling like slapping himself.
Such a rare Plant Essence, and he missed it even when it was right in front of him!
Gritting his teeth, he said, "Jiang Fan! Give this bottle, and we will settle our grievances!"
Jiang Fan smirked and wrote, "I actually prefer having grievances between us."
"You!" Zhu Jianshen was furious, stomping his foot fiercely, "Fine! Fine!"
"You just wait!"
"We’ll see who triumphs tomorrow at the gift presentation!"
With that, he stord off in anger.
Facing the noblewon’s purchase requests, Jiang Fan politely declined, leaving them in disappointnt.
"Jiang Fan, you got sothing valuable, shouldn’t you leave so for our Xu Family?"
Wang Yingfeng jealously pulled Xu Yining over, righteously saying, "You’ve been eating and drinking from the Xu Family these years."
"You should have a conscience, do you understand?"
"I’m not asking for a lot, just one-fourth of that bottle of Plant Essence for our Xu Family."
Upon hearing this,
Chen Silin rolled her eyes.
Even though she was an outsider, she knew how poorly the Xu Family had treated Jiang Fan over the years.
They never treated him as a lifesaver.
They even broke a previously promised marriage arrangent.
And now they dare speak of conscience!
Xu Youran was also irritated.
Wang Yingfeng was too bullying!
She frowned, "This is Fan’s own money, his own earned skill. Why should he give it to the Xu Family?"
"Fan, don’t listen to her!"
Xu Yining, also embarrassed by Wang Yingfeng, murmured, "Mother, why do we need his things?"
"I’ll find my way to enhance my own cultivation."
Though she disliked Jiang Fan, she wouldn’t simultaneously despise him and covet his benefits.
That would be too shaless.
But, to everyone’s surprise, Jiang Fan did give away one-fourth of the Plant Essence.
He wrote aningfully, "Aunt Wang is right. The Xu Family has helped over the past ten years."
"A little Plant Essence is nothing significant."
Chen Silin and Xu Youran stomped their feet in frustration.
Was Jiang Fan too naive?
Giving away the precious Plant Essence so easily.
Evidently, Wang Yingfeng wanted it for Xu Yining’s consumption.
Xu Yining also didn’t expect Jiang Fan to be willing to give it.
She reexamined Jiang Fan, pondering hard. Apart from so lower aptitudes, he was indeed unassailable.
Why did she start disliking him, and when?
Wang Yingfeng secretly scorned, "So what if he has five hundred ten thousand taels of silver?"
"He’s still at my rcy."
"I asked for part of the Plant Essence, and he obediently divided it, like a good boy, haha!"
However,
soon Wang Yingfeng’s expression turned stiff.
Jiang Fan did not hand the one-fourth Plant Essence to her.
Instead, he gave it to Xu Youran, opening her small cherry mouth with one hand and pouring the Plant Essence into her mouth with the other.
"Cough, cough...cough, cough, cough... Fan, what are you doing?"
Unprepared, Xu Youran choked.
Jiang Fan shrugged and wrote, "Your aunt said so, I must repay the Xu Family."
"Giving this one-fourth of Plant Essence to the eldest young lady of the Xu Family is only fitting, right?"
"Alright, stop talking and sit down to cultivate, see if it works as rumored."
Xu Youran had much to say, but the Plant Essence within her had already exploded with overwhelming spiritual energy, making her hastily sit cross-legged for cultivation.
With the Yellow Level high-grade ntal thod provided by Jiang Fan,
In a blink, she broke through to the fourth layer of Qi Cultivation!
However, it wasn’t over, as her cultivation level was low and the dicine was potent.
After a short period, she broke through another level!
Reaching the fifth layer of Qi Cultivation!
Finally, with the last force of Plant Essence, she advanced to the Fifth Layer Perfection of Qi Cultivation.
With just a few days of quiet cultivation, she could break through to the sixth layer of Qi Cultivation!
This scene left Xu Yining both surprised and envious.
Breaking through to the sixth layer of Qi Cultivation had taken her half a year.
But her sister, just because of a bit of Plant Essence from Jiang Fan, had achieved it.
This stark contrast complicated her feelings.
She looked at Jiang Fan, biting her red lips, then turned and left.
Wang Yingfeng, extrely angry, shouted, "Jiang Fan!!! How dare you humiliate my daughter like this, tomorrow! Tomorrow, I’ll make you pay!!!"
Jiang Fan shrugged, and before she left, he took out another one-fourth bottle and handed it to Chen Silin.
"This bottle is for you."
Wang Yingfeng nearly blacked out. Rather give it to an outsider than to her daughter!
She would rember this!
Chen Silin, startled, said, "This is too precious, I can’t accept it!"
Jiang Fan silently smiled and placed it in her arms.
Secretly, he smiled to himself.
Who told them that the most valuable thing about the Thunder Pattern Spiritual Wood is the Plant Essence?
Its most precious aspect is the material itself!
