Chapter 265: Chapter 184 The gathering of the strong _1
With Long Hai occupying this hilltop, Lin Tianming and his companion continued to walk deeper into the area.
Soon, they spotted White Jade Grass on different hilltops and began to disperse to collect it.
Lin Tianming arrived at a hilltop and dug up a mature White Jade Grass, observing it in his hands.
Aside from seeing the White Jade Grass from afar before the big battle at Long Hai, this counted as his second encounter with this precious Spirit Grass.
Looking at the snow-white body of the White Jade Grass, Lin Tianming was thrilled. Just on this hilltop, he found three mature White Jade Grass plants, and more than ten saplings—an abundant harvest indeed.
With several such red-soiled hilltops in this small valley, if they could all yield a few plants, they would be able to divide up quite a number of Spirit Grasses among themselves.
With that thought, he stored the precious White Jade Grass in a prepared Jade Box, and then began to collect the others.
As for the White Jade Grass saplings, he naturally wouldn’t overlook them. Although the survival rate of this Spiritual dicine was frighteningly low, even if only one were to survive, it might bring a Foundation Establishnt Clan mber to the family, wouldn’t it?
On two nearby hilltops, Lin Shilu and Long Hai were also busy at work.
They worked efficiently and ticulously, their faces showing excitent throughout the process.
Although Long Hai had succeeded in Foundation Establishnt and was still a Foundation Establishnt Eighth Level cultivator, he had no use for White Jade Grass. However, one plant could easily fetch tens of thousands of Spirit Stones, making it extrely valuable.
Moreover, he needed to prepare for his breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage, which required accumulating a large amount of Spirit Stones, so the White Jade Grass was essentially bundles and bundles of Spirit Stones to him.
An hour later, the three of them regrouped.
“Let’s all take out the White Jade Grass we collected!”
After Long Hai spoke, he took out more than twenty Jade Boxes and opened them to reveal the White Jade Grass he had collected.
Lin Tianming and his companion glanced over them—five mature White Jade Grass plants and twenty-one saplings.
Following Long Hai, Lin Tianming and his companion also took out all the White Jade Grass they had collected and placed them together.
“Nine mature White Jade Grass plants, and thirty-seven saplings!”
Long Hai nodded; the three hadn’t been far apart while collecting, and each had a clear idea of how much Spiritual dicine the others had obtained.
They had quite a haul this trip, with fourteen mature White Jade Grass plants and fifty-eight saplings in total.
Long Hai smiled and said to Lin Tianming and his companion:
“Fellow cultivators, according to our agreent, I get sixty percent of these White Jade Grass. Eight mature plants are mine, and I’ll take thirty-five saplings, unless there are any objections!”
Upon hearing Long Hai’s words, Lin Shilu calculated carefully and found the distribution to be fair according to their agreent.
“Of course, we always keep our word and will not go back on our promises,” he replied.
Long Hai nodded, waved his sleeve, and collected his share of White Jade Grass.
Without delay, Lin Shilu collected all the remaining Jade Boxes into his storage bag and then addressed Long Hai with a cupped fist:
“Fellow Daoist Long, I wonder if you would consider selling so of your White Jade Grass to ? I’m willing to pay a high price!”
“Oh?” Long Hai was sowhat surprised.
Lin Shilu’s statent, along with the fact that Lin Tianming had been acting in concert throughout, indicated that there was at least one Foundation Establishnt Power behind them. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be buying White Jade Grass from him, clearly gathering it for the power behind them, since White Jade Grass was otherwise nearly impossible to find outside.
Since he himself had reached Foundation Establishnt and was not an Alchemist, he had almost no use for White Jade Grass and ultimately intended to sell it. As long as the price was right, it mattered little who the buyer was.
With this in mind, Long Hai inquired:
“What price do you offer?”
Hearing this, Lin Shilu beca even more excited. Long Hai wasn’t opposed to selling to them, otherwise, he could have just refused.
However, White Jade Grass was not cheap; if the offer was too low, he likely wouldn’t agree.
“Fellow Daoist Long, for mature White Jade Grass, eleven thousand Spirit Stones per plant, and for the saplings, eight hundred Spirit Stones each. What do you think?” Lin Shilu asked.
Long Hai found Lin Shilu’s price to be reasonable, even slightly higher than the market rate, so he quickly made up his mind.
“I agree to your terms without objection,” he said.
Lin Tianming and his companion were overjoyed to learn that Long Hai was willing to sell, as White Jade Grass was extrely important to the Lin Family, and they were willing to buy it at any cost.
Fortunately, they had recently killed a gray-robed cultivator and obtained thirty thousand Spirit Stones, and with their accumulations over the years, as well as the family’s subsidies of Spirit Stones, they could indeed gather a large fortune.
At this mont, Lin Tianming and his companion communicated privately to arrange the paynt of Spirit Stones.
They quickly reached a consensus, and Lin Shilu took out all his Spirit Stones, a total of sixty thousand.
Lin Tianming also took out all his Spirit Stones, a total of fifty thousand, collecting a total of one hundred and ten thousand Spirit Stones.
They placed all the Spirit Stones in a storage bag, ready to trade with Long Hai for the White Jade Grass.
“Fellow Daoist Long, we’ve gathered one hundred and ten thousand Spirit Stones in exchange for all your White Jade Grass, and we’ll take the excess in saplings!”
Long Hai was stunned to hear Lin Shilu’s words, as even he could not produce such a vast fortune.
Regaining his composure, Long Hai said:
“I can only sell a maximum of eight mature White Jade Grass plants, but there’s no limit on the saplings.”
Lin Shilu and his companion, seeing Long Hai’s resolute gaze, did not press further and traded for the eight mature White Jade Grass plants and twenty-eight saplings from him.
