Chapter 21: Successfully Snatching the Opportunity!
At this very moment,
A group of four individuals approached from a distance.
Their eyes continuously surveyed the surrounding stalls.
Autumn Glory City's cultivators seized this chance to showcase their most prized possessions for sale.
As a result, numerous stalls displayed items that were deemed valuable or rare for the average cultivator.
However, none of these items piqued Jiang Chen's interest.
Suddenly,
An open space ahead caught his attention as a merchant unfurled a cloth and began arranging his wares on it.
Jiang Chen cast a glance,
He recognized the majority of the itemscommon spiritual medicines.
But one peculiar tuber-shaped spiritual medicine left him puzzled.
In such a situation,
Jiang Chen promptly activated his Villain's Eye!
Instantly,
A panel materialized before his eyes,
Revealing the vendor as a supporting character!
'A supporting character has emerged!'
'It appears my intuition was correct. There is a subplot involving Lin Feng finding a bargain here.'
Jiang Chen felt elated and swiftly advanced.
Simultaneously,
Lin Feng experienced immense joy within his heart!
Thanks to the unique ability granted by the Burning World Red Lotus, he instantaneously recognized that the stem-shaped spiritual medicine was a Mysterious Platform Realm fire attribute medicinethe Flame Whisker Mica Ginseng!
In fact,
It seemed the Burning World Red Lotus had also detected the Flame Whisker Mica Ginseng's presence, as it quivered incessantly within Lin Feng's dantian, urging him to acquire the spiritual medicine.
'Fantastic!'
'The Flame Whisker Mica Ginseng!'
'Despite its unassuming appearance, resembling an ordinary item, it will undoubtedly aid in the significant recovery of my Burning World Red Lotus!'
As these thoughts crossed Lin Feng's mind, he had already taken a step forward!
However, at that very moment,
He suddenly noticed that Jiang Chen, standing beside him, had already surged ahead, transforming into a blurry silhouette, and arriving at the stall before him.
In comparison to Jiang Chen's Spiritual Awakening Realm speed, his own Soul Refining Realm pace was far too sluggish!
'What!?'
'How did that Jiang Chen guy manage to get there so quickly!?'
'Could it be, could it be that he also recognizes the Flame Whisker Mica Ginseng!?'
'That's impossible. He has never studied alchemy; how could he identify such a scarce and valuable spiritual herb!?'
Lin Feng couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment, a growing sense of unease gripping his heart.
"What's going on with Young Master Jiang and Lin Feng?"
"Is there something valuable over there?"
Ning Xian and Master Qiu Liaoxi didn't recognize the Flame Whisker Mica Ginseng. The two exchanged glances and approached with curiosity.
They trailed closely behind Lin Feng, arriving at the stall.
Just in time to witness Jiang Chen pointing at the booth and declaring to the vendor, "I'll take everything on this booth."
Upon finishing his statement,
He promptly tossed a bag of spiritual stones, asserting there was no need to count them.
"Excellent! Excellent!"
"Thank you very much, Young Master Jiang!"
"I'll pack everything up for you right away!"
Recognizing Jiang Chen, the vendor was overjoyed that he wanted to purchase all the subpar merchandise from his booth.
He nodded enthusiastically, displaying a gratified smile.
Carefully, he gathered the weighty bag of spiritual stones and took out several rudimentary boxes, contentedly separating and packaging the items from the booth.
Simultaneously,
[Ding! You have successfully outmaneuvered the protagonist Lin Feng. Lin Feng's Heavenly Fate Value has decreased by 300 points, and you have gained 500 points of Villain Value!]
The system prompt resounded in Jiang Chen's mind, filling him with delight, and a faint smile graced his lips.
At that moment,
"Wait!"
Lin Feng exclaimed, a hint of urgency in his voice.
His eyes fixed on the Flame Whisker Mica Ginseng at the booth, he felt so exasperated he could nearly spit blood.
Had it not been for Jiang Chen, that item would already be his!
Cursed Jiang Chen, cursed happenstance!
Why was he so unfortunate!
Regrettably, at this very moment, he encountered Jiang Chen, who coincidentally knew about the Flame Whisker Mica Ginsengand Jiang Chen was even swifter than him!
"Hmm? What's the matter?"
Jiang Chen purposely gave Lin Feng a puzzled look.
Ning Xian, Qiu Liaoxi, and even the stall owner shared the same bewildered expressions as they gazed at him.
"This..."
Lin Feng opened his mouth but couldn't find the words, his frustration mounting.
Since Jiang Chen had purchased the items even faster than him, it was clear that he had recognized the Flame Whisker Mica Ginseng!
There was no way he could persuade Jiang Chen to abandon the purchase by claiming there was nothing worthwhile at the stall.
If, at that moment, Jiang Chen were to directly point out the Flame Whisker Mica Ginseng, it would feel like a resounding slap to his face.
Furthermore, Ning Xian and Qiu Liaoxi were no fools; they would undoubtedly see through his deception and realize that he had tried to secure the treasure, only to be exposed.
Should that happen, his reputation would be in tatters!
At this juncture,
"Lin Feng, just say what's on your mind."
Jiang Chen offered a slight smile and spoke.
"This, this medicinal herb is of great importance to me."
"Young Master Jiang, you hail from a prosperous family and have no shortage of material wealth. Why not let me have it?"
Taking a deep breath, Lin Feng bravely pointed to the Flame Whisker Mica Ginseng and spoke.
Nevertheless, this was also his way of testing Jiang Chen.
Although he had always harbored resentment towards Jiang Chen, his recent actions had admittedly left him somewhat perplexed.
Did Jiang Chen genuinely appreciate him? Did he wish to befriend him?
Lin Feng intended to use this medicinal herb to put Jiang Chen to the test.
At this moment,
As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking,
The gazes of Ning Xian, Qiu Liaoxi, and the stall owner immediately fell upon the Flame Whisker Mica Ginseng.
While the item itself appeared unremarkable,
Anyone with a shred of sense would realize that it was undoubtedly more complex than it seemed on the surface.
After all,
It had captured the interest of Jiang Chen, the eldest young master of the Jiang Clan, and compelled Lin Feng, a Soul Refining Realm expert, to plead for it.
The stall owner, recognizing this, felt somewhat powerless.
Yet, the transaction had already taken place, and the buyer remained the eldest young master of the Jiang Clan. The stall owner wouldn't dare renege on the deal unless he had a death wish!
As for Ning Xian and Qiu Liaoxi, they were both quite astonished.
Both of them hailed from the Bright Cloud Continent's alchemy sects and had even studied the "Thousand Green Pill Heart Records," yet they still couldn't identify the medicinal herb.
But Jiang Chen and Lin Feng could!
Especially Jiang Chen.
The moment the stall owner displayed the item, Jiang Chen recognized it instantaneously, even quicker than Lin Feng, who possessed a Medicinal Spirit Body.
'I didn't expect Jiang Chen to also have remarkable achievements in the field of alchemy...'
Ning Xian's eyes sparkled as she couldn't help but shift her gaze to Jiang Chen, her mind awash with thoughts.
[Ding! You successfully prevented Lin Feng from showing off and earned 300 points of Villain Value!]
[Ding! Ning Xian's impression of you has further improved, and she has developed a slight fondness for you. Lin Feng's Heavenly Fate Value has decreased by 200 points, and you earned 300 points of Villain Value!]
Two system prompts emerged.
Jiang Chen's heart fluttered, brimming with delight.
Yet, outwardly, he maintained a serene and composed demeanor.
At this moment,
"Tell me about it."
Jiang Chen channeled his Yuan Power and took the Flame Whisker Mica Ginseng into his hand. Turning to Lin Feng, he asked with a smile, "What is this item called? What is its grade and purpose?"
"This is the Flame Whisker Mica Ginseng."
"It's a spiritual herb of the Mysterious Platform Realm. It can be used to refine breakthrough-type medicinal pills as well as explosive-type medicinal pills..."
Lin Feng didn't suspect for a moment that Jiang Chen didn't recognize the Flame Whisker Mica Ginseng.
He also didn't consider Jiang Chen's intentions behind asking about the herb.
Eager to obtain this treasure, he immediately provided the answers.
'I see.'
'So it's called the Flame Whisker Mica Ginseng!'
Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel amused in his heart, 'So it's a treasure of the Mysterious Platform Realm. No wonder Lin Feng is in such a hurry to get it.'
Simultaneously.
Ning Xian and Qiu Liaoxi were both astonished. They never thought they would find a treasure of the Mysterious Platform Realm at a street vendor's stall!
It was almost as unbelievable as discovering a pile of spiritual stones in a garbage dump.
As for the vendor at the stall, he had rolled his eyes and fainted on the spot!
The other vendors and passersby around them also gasped in surprise after hearing Lin Feng's explanation.
However, because someone recognized Jiang Chen as the eldest young master of the Jiang Clan.
As a result, nobody dared to approach Jiang Chen too closely, afraid that they might offend him and endanger their own lives. They wouldn't even dream of trying to snatch the herb from his hands.
Of course, news spread quickly and soon many people gathered around them.
At this time.
"If it were anyone else, I wouldn't even bother acknowledging them."
"But since it's you, Lin Feng, I will let you have it."
Jiang Chen didn't comment on whether Lin Feng was right or wrong, but instead smiled and spoke.
As soon as these words were spoken.
"Really!?"
Lin Feng blurted out, hardly able to believe his ears.
He couldn't believe that Jiang Chen would actually let him have the Flame Whisker Mica Ginseng.
Ning Xian and Qiu Liaoxi were also amazed as they looked at Jiang Chen. They never thought that Jiang Chen would go to such lengths just for Lin Feng's sake.The sourc𝗲 of this content nov(𝒆l)bi((n))
The passersby around them began to whisper and discuss among themselves upon hearing this.
"Did Eldest Young Master Jiang Chen just agree to give the Flame Whisker Mica Ginseng to that Lin Feng!?"
"That's a treasure of the Mysterious Platform Realm! I've never even had the chance to touch such a thing in my entire life!"
"The Flame Whisker Mica Ginseng can be used to refine breakthrough-type medicinal pills of the Mysterious Platform Realm. It's incredibly precious, even to the Jiang Clan, and they wouldn't sell it no matter how much money they were offered. By giving it to Lin Feng, Jiang Chen has shown how highly he regards him!"
"This Lin Feng's relationship with Jiang Chen is not ordinary. We should keep our distance and avoid provoking him!"
"..."
As the people continued to whisper and discuss,
Jiang Chen smiled faintly and spoke again.
