Chapter 61 Quickly Transmigrate! Kidnapping Immortal Sect Disciple (26)
Just when he was at a loss, Yao Lao said, "Besides, you are not the only one who wants this Mysterious Ice Jade Marrow. Many people have come to inquire about it."
Despair surged into Feng Ziang's heart like a tide, and he almost gave up.
At this moment, a familiar voice came: "I want this Xuanbing Jade Marrow."
Feng Ziang raised his head suddenly and saw He Yushu appeared behind him at some point. He stood tall, with a stern look and a firm gaze.
He Yushu bargained with Yao Lao for a while, and finally Yao Lao agreed to give them three days to collect the money, otherwise he would sell it to someone else.
Feng Ziang was surprised and happy. He was surprised that He Yushu would actually help him, and he was happy that he still had a chance.
But he was also worried. It would be difficult to collect such a huge amount of money in three days!
What he didn't expect was that Wu Gang also appeared in the trading market. He hid in the dark, taking in everything, with a sinister smile on his face...
The five-day period passed in a flash.
Feng Ziang's face turned increasingly pale, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and the pain from the backlash of his spiritual roots was like millions of ants gnawing at his internal organs.
He clenched his teeth, trying hard not to let the painful groan escape from his lips, but his trembling hands exposed his weakness at the moment.
"Still short...still a lot short..." His voice was hoarse, with a hint of despair.
They ran to almost all the trading places nearby, spent all their spirit stones, and even sold some seldom-used magic tools, but the astronomical amount of money for the medicine was still as far away as a cliff.
He Yushu's brows were furrowed, and a hint of anxiety flashed in his cold eyes.
He knew the importance of the Mysterious Ice Jadeite better than Feng Ziang. It was the key to suppressing the backlash of Feng Ziang's spiritual roots. If he missed this opportunity, the consequences would be disastrous.
"There must be a way..." He Yushu whispered to himself, his eyes scanning the surrounding mountains and forests, and his heart suddenly moved.
He remembered that he had seen a kind of spiritual herb called "Star Spirit Grass" in an ancient book. Its value itself was not high, but it could be used as the main ingredient for refining a certain special elixir. However, this kind of elixir was priceless to some hermit alchemists.
He told Feng Ziang about this idea, and a glimmer of hope flashed in the latter's eyes. He forced himself to cheer up and followed He Yushu into the mountains.
With his extraordinary memory and keen observation, He Yushu actually found several Star Spirit Grasses.
The two were overjoyed and immediately took the Star Spirit Grass to the residence of the alchemist who lived in seclusion there.
This alchemist's name is Bai Ze. He has a strange personality and doesn't like to socialize with others.
But when he saw the Star Spirit Grass in He Yushu's hand, his cloudy eyes suddenly lit up.
After some bargaining, Bai Ze purchased the star spirit grass at a price far beyond their expectations.
After receiving the spirit stone, Feng Ziang was so excited that he was almost speechless. He held He Yushu's hand tightly, his gratitude was beyond words.
"Brother He, I'm so sorry for you this time..."
"No need to thank me." He Yushu smiled faintly, a rare hint of tenderness on his cold face, "There's no need to be so polite between us." The two looked at each other, and everything was said without words.
Just as they were about to set off for the trading market, a sneaky figure appeared not far behind them.
That person was Wu Gang.
He looked at the spirit stone bags in Feng Ziang and He Yushu's hands, a greedy gleam flashed in his eyes, and a sinister arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"It looks like there's going to be something interesting to watch..." he murmured in a low voice.
Wu Gang's cold gaze always followed Feng Ziang and He Yushu.
He was fully aware of the severity of Feng Ziang's spiritual root backlash, and also knew what the Mysterious Ice Jade Marrow meant to him.
A vicious plan began to take shape in his mind.
He quietly sneaked into the trading market and spread rumors in front of some cultivators who were interested in Feng Ziang's spiritual herbs. He exaggerated Feng Ziang's illness, making it sound as terrible as a plague, and even asserted that he was incurable and buying his spiritual herbs would be tantamount to wasting spiritual stones.
Wu Gang's trick soon worked.
Some potential buyers have backed off and are avoiding Feng Ziang's spiritual herbs.
Feng Ziang and He Yushu noticed something unusual in the market and their faces suddenly turned gloomy.
They knew someone was behind it.
"It's Wu Gang." He Yushu's tone was cold, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
Feng Ziang was so angry that he gritted his teeth and wished he could immediately pull Wu Gang out and give him a good beating.
"This despicable person!"
However, He Yushu was not blinded by anger.
He calmly analyzed the current situation and quickly came up with a plan of action.
"Instead of confronting him head on, it is better to take advantage of his tactic."
He leaned close to Feng Ziang's ear and whispered his plan.
After hearing this, Feng Ziang was stunned at first, and then a cunning light flashed in his eyes.
"Great, Brother He, this is a really great move!"
So Feng Ziang pretended to be weak and walked around the trading market, coughing from time to time, attracting the attention of the cultivators around him.
He even deliberately released some "inside information" about the backlash of his own spiritual roots, further exaggerating the rumors that Wu Gang had spread before, saying that the backlash of his own spiritual roots was not a terminal illness, but a special state of cultivation. Once he broke through, he would gain great fortunes that ordinary people could hardly imagine.
As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused an uproar.
The cultivators who had originally avoided Feng Ziang's spiritual herbs now gathered around him again, their eyes filled with curiosity and inquiry.
"Really? Can you break through even if your spiritual roots backfire?"
"If it's true, wouldn't it be a step to heaven?"
"This magical herb... could it be some kind of natural treasure?"
People were talking about it and became very interested in Feng Ziang's magical herbs.
Wu Gang hid in the dark, watching the scene in front of him, his face turned ashen and he was shaking with anger.
"How is it possible...how could they..."
He never expected that not only did his plan fail, but it also helped Feng Ziang.
Seeing that more and more people gathered around, Feng Ziang and He Yushu exchanged glances, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corners of their mouths at the same time.
"My fellow Taoists, please listen to me..." Feng Ziang cleared his throat and was about to speak when he suddenly heard a sharp shout - "Yao Lao is here!"
The crowd automatically made way for a path, and a short but energetic old man walked slowly towards them.
He has a youthful face and long hair, a sharp gaze, and exudes a strong aura in every move he makes.
This is the well-known pharmacist in the trading market. It is said that he is proficient in all kinds of magical herbs and medicines, and can even refine elixirs that can bring people back to life.
"I heard that someone is selling spiritual herbs here that can break through the backlash of spiritual roots?" Yao Lao's voice was loud and clear, with a hint of unquestionable majesty.
Feng Ziang endured the severe pain from the backlash of his spiritual roots, took a step forward, and said with a folded hand, "It is me."
Yao Lao's gaze fell on the spiritual herb in Feng Ziang's hand, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
"It is indeed Star Spirit Grass, and it is of excellent age. It is perfect for refining the 'Evil Breaking Pill'."
