Faced with this question, Jiang An confidently and decisively replied, "Of course! The Purple Gold Pill works very quickly. If you have any doubts, we can exchange one to try!"
Her words were full of confidence, after all, these were all based on her own experience.
Lu Chenyuan stared intently at the screen. When he saw the message the other party had sent, his eyes lit up: "Two ginseng roots for one Purple Gold Pill!"
At the same time, Jiang An, who was sitting on the other side, received this reply.
Her eyes widened in disbelief, and she nearly dropped her chopsticks. "This doesn't even cover the cost!" she muttered to herself, inwardly lamenting her predicament.
It's important to know that ginseng is just one of many precious medicinal materials needed to make Zijin Pills; there are many other rare and indispensable ingredients as well!
Jiang An angrily devoured the remaining food in his bowl, then slammed his hand on the table and continued typing a reply: "I don't even cover the cost. Ginseng is just one of the medicinal ingredients. How about this, 2 Zijin Pills for 12 ginseng pills. If you still can't accept this price, then this transaction will probably have to be called off! After all, business should be based on mutual consent, right?"
After typing this, Jiang An took a deep breath, trying to calm her somewhat agitated emotions.
If you're willing, then we'll trade; if not, then forget it!
Time passed by, but she still didn't receive a response.
The long wait made her begin to suspect that the other party had decisively rejected the deal.
Just as she was engrossed in playing with the adorable little turtle, her phone screen suddenly lit up and a notification sound rang out—it turned out that a message had finally arrived from the other end.
"I'm so sorry, I encountered some unexpected circumstances that I needed to deal with. Since you've put it that way, let's make a deal: 12 ginseng roots for two Purple Gold Pills!"
Upon seeing the message, Jiang An was overjoyed and immediately replied, "No problem!"
Immediately afterwards, she quickly took out two inferior Purple Gold Pills from her backpack and sent them to Lu Chenyuan.
Not long after, the two parties successfully completed the cooperation.
Jiang An happily took out 12 five-year-old ginseng roots from the virtual warehouse.
These ginsengs were placed in an exquisite wooden box and then securely stored in a backpack.
Then Jiang An took out his haul from the seabed that day—not much: two iron boxes and one stone box.
As usual, let's open the metal box first.
[Accelerator*1, Electronic Components*2, Glass*1]
[Energy Stone*2, Cloth*3]
Everything seemed so ordinary, with nothing to be excited about or anything unexpected to happen.
Jiang An put it into his backpack without hesitation, planning to put it in the storage shelf in the lower compartment when he had free time.
As for the accelerator, Jiang An chose to activate it immediately, and the steamship's speed instantly increased by 10 kilometers per hour, reaching a maximum speed of 80 kilometers per hour.
Next came the stone box.
When Jiang An lifted the lid, what came into view was a set of women's sportswear and a set of long-sleeved pajamas.
Upon seeing that it was clothing, Jiang An was overjoyed, since she only had a handful of clothes in total.
She was able to make ends meet before, but as she continued to explore deeper into the world, many of her clothes became stained with blood, and some stains of unknown origin clung tightly to them, which were difficult to remove no matter how she washed them, and in the end she had to discard them as waste.
As a result, her clothing stock became increasingly scarce.
The two new outfits I received today are undoubtedly as precious as rain after a long drought.
After tidying up all the spoils of the trip, Jiang An slowly turned his gaze to the little turtle beside him.
She murmured softly, "Little turtle, it's time to take out the Frost Soul Pearl!"
It should be noted that these Frost Soul Pearls were the most fruitful result of their journey, yet she deliberately saved them for the very last moment before preparing to open them.
She deftly pulled a wooden box from her backpack, opened the lid, and instantly, a bone-chilling cold wafted out.
Upon closer inspection, the box contained more than ten small, round beads that exuded a chilling aura.
Jiang An was overjoyed. He counted them carefully and found that there were a total of thirty-two beads in front of him. This meant that he and the tortoise had successfully killed thirty-two fearsome stone monsters.
The little turtle standing to the side could no longer contain its excitement. Its eyes gleamed with intense light as it stared intently at the Cold Soul Bead in Jiang An's hand, which emanated a chilling aura.
Jiang An took out one of the Cold Soul Pearls and examined it carefully in his palm.
She wanted to figure out the differences between this mysterious Frost Soul Pearl and the Snow Pearl she had obtained in the past.
After a thorough examination, she was surprised to find that these Cold Soul Pearls not only differed slightly in color, but also varied in size.
However, the most crucial issue at this moment is how to properly use this Frost Soul Pearl and understand its magical effects.
Filled with doubt, Jiang An slowly shifted his gaze to the top of the Cold Soul Pearl.
Suddenly, a faint light flashed, followed by a string of words appearing faintly on the surface of the bead.
[Frost Soul Bead: Provides a continuous energy source for all types of cold-based weapons; it loses its effectiveness once the energy is depleted! Wearers of this bead can significantly enhance their internal cold attributes, but it also cannot be used again when the energy is exhausted!]
Finally, there is a particularly striking note: "Do not swallow!"
Upon seeing this, Jiang An's expression froze, and he thought to himself, "So this treasure can't be eaten... Then why did the little turtle seem so eager to get it back then? Could it be because it can enhance its own cold attribute?"
Thinking of this, countless questions flooded her mind, leaving her completely baffled.
Meanwhile, the little turtle next to her was looking longingly at the beads in Jiang An's hand.
Jiang An handed the little turtle a Cold Soul Pearl and then watched its actions.
Sure enough, the little turtle wasn't meant to be eaten. It took the Frost Pearl and placed it directly into its little nest.
