Chapter 396: Chapter 396 Golden Whisker Ginseng_1

Today, this place has many important guests.

Xiao Chen noticed that Du Musheng and Ding Mulan had also arrived.

However, he did not go to greet them.

The two of them were also smart enough not to disturb him.

"I don’t even know what her status is, I just know she’s pitiful.

She lost her sight as a child.

But she especially likes listening to my songs, so we became friends."

Yang Liying explained, "That one over there, she’s my friend!"

Xiao Chen followed the direction of her pointing.

A girl who looked like a princess, probably only twelve or thirteen years old.

She was extremely cute, almost perfect.

Probably only women like Jiang Meng, Andi, and Di Tianjiao could compare with her.

Yang Liying was quite inferior.

The only pity were her eyes, hollow and without light.

It was regrettable.

But more than the girl, it was the woman beside her that caught Xiao Chen’s attention.

Ximen Feixue, a terrifying existence ranked tenth on the War God List.

Could it be that she was willing to act as a bodyguard for a little girl?

Ximen Feixue did not recognize Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen, even if on the War God List, was the most mysterious of them all.

"Interesting!"

Xiao Chen smiled.

At that moment, Yang Liying spoke up, "Feiyue, I’m here!"

"Sister Liying, come over here!"

Feiyue seemed to trust Yang Liying a lot, while Ximen Feixue had a look of vigilance on her face.

To her, anyone approaching Feiyue could potentially be an enemy.

That was normal, and that was what a true bodyguard would do.

"Feiyue, I brought a few friends over, is that okay?"

Yang Liying asked.

"Sister Liying’s friends are, of course, welcome,"

Feiyue said with a smile, "Moreover, I feel that one of them has such a pure soul.

Who is she?"

"Oh, she’s quite famous, the chairman of Xinmeng Group, Jiang Meng!"

Yang Liying naturally knew who Feiyue was talking about.

Anybody who interacted with Jiang Meng would feel her purity and kindness.

"Ximen, let her come over. I like her!"

Feiyue said with a smile.

"Alright then."

Ximen Feixue nodded.

Jiang Meng walked over, her eyes already somewhat red.

Even Xiao Chen felt pity; if he felt this way, the kind-hearted Jiang Meng was even more affected.

"Sister, don’t cry. I might be blind, but my heart is brighter than anyone else’s,"

Feiyue comforted Jiang Meng, which gave Xiao Chen a good impression of her.

"Why hasn’t Wang Huan showed up yet? Didn’t he say he was going to bring some Golden Whisker Ginseng?"

Suddenly, a voice rang out.

It was a middle-aged man standing behind the young girl Feiyue.

"Exactly, it’s already past the agreed time. This kid better not be playing us,"

another person said.

Feiyue smiled and said, "Uncles and elders, don’t worry. Wang Huan is also a well-known figure in the north.

His lateness might be due to something he encountered on the road.

No rush, let’s just wait.

People with abilities often have certain quirks."

"I think what he has is not a quirk, it’s capriciousness!"

"Right, he dares make us wait for him here. He’s going too far!"

People grumbled their complaints, all somewhat displeased.

Those who came here were not ordinary people; they were used to others waiting for them and did not like waiting for others.

"If you can’t wait, then get lost. I don’t recall asking you to wait,"

at that moment, a voice rang out.

At the entrance, a man walked in with his head held high and a stride full of confidence.

His voice resonant like a bell.

The aura was incredibly strong.

This was certainly a well-trained martial artist.

Of course, by saying relatively strong, it was just a bit stronger than Ghost Blade.

If Ghost Blade was considered an entry-level of vigor.

Then this person was at the first stage of vigor.

Xiao Chen was not interested in this person, but he was interested in the box in his hand.

Because even though the box was closed, it still emitted an intoxicating medicinal fragrance.

"Hmph!"

Hearing what Wang Huan said, the person who had spoken before snorted coldly and did not say much more.

Wang Huan was very strong, especially well-known in the north, and they really could not afford to provoke him.

Wang Huan also did not pay them any attention.

Instead, he looked at Ximen Feixue and said, "I’ve brought the thing you asked for, have you brought what I want?"

Ximen Feixue nodded, then took out a jade pendant.

The pendant, which looked like a soaring Ying Long, was exceptionally beautiful.

However, to the ordinary eye, it appeared to be just a regular antique.

But in Xiao Chen’s view, it was a treasure.

This was not any ordinary jade pendant, but a special kind of plant fossil.

He had read about it in the Mo Sect’s archives.

This kind of plant fossil possessed very strong vitality.

Wearing it over a long period could adjust a person’s various trace elements.

It made one more likely to enjoy good health and longevity.

It was simply a natural divine medicine.

Unfortunately, Xiao Chen had only ever found two pieces before, which he gave to his parents to wear.

This was the third piece he had ever seen.

Such plant fossils were rare; globally, only about a dozen had been found so far.

He did not expect to find one here today.

"Yes, that’s it! Give it to me, let’s make the exchange!"

Wang Huan, looking at the item in Ximen Feixue’s hand, was extremely excited.

"Hold on."

Ximen Feixue said indifferently, "How can I be sure that what you have is the genuine Golden Whisker Ginseng, after all, very few people have ever seen it.

We must authenticate it first.

Liying, given you were born into a family of medicine, you must be familiar with this, right?

Take a look and see if it’s genuine."

Before Yang Liying could speak, Xiao Chen interjected, "No need to authenticate it, the Golden Whisker Ginseng is indeed real, however, due to improper preservation, its effectiveness is only one-tenth of what it originally was.

Its value has greatly diminished."

"You brat, who do you think you are to evaluate my treasure?"

Wang Huan released a terrifying killing intent, he was clearly very dissatisfied with Xiao Chen.

Ghost Blade indifferently stood in front of Xiao Chen, blocking that terrifying killing intent.

This caused Wang Huan to hesitate for a moment.

Obviously, he hadn’t expected this casually speaking pretty boy to have such a strong bodyguard.

"Although I’m not someone important, I do have some research on medicinal herbs.

Golden Whisker Ginseng must be harvested at the stroke of midnight.

Furthermore, it must be submerged in specially prepared medicinal liquid within a minute.

Only then can its medicinal effect retain ninety percent of its potency.

Unfortunately, you don’t understand this, or perhaps, you do know, but due to certain circumstances, were unable to do so."

Xiao Chen said lightly.

At this moment, Wang Huan’s expression turned somewhat ugly.

Xiao Chen had actually hit the nail on the head.

Apparently, Xiao Chen was not making baseless claims.

Wang Huan, you’re courting death, daring to deceive me with such a useless thing that has lost ninety percent of its medicinal effect!"

Ximen Feixue said coldly, and the surrounding air seemed to grow much colder.

"Miss Ximen, please don’t be angry, I was unaware that Golden Whisker Ginseng needed to be harvested in such a manner.

Please forgive me, I will find a way to obtain the same medicinal herb for Miss Feiyue’s eye treatment."

Wang Huan was after all still fearful of Ximen Feixue, and he hurriedly explained himself.

"That won’t be necessary for you to worry about."

Xiao Chen said with a smile, "Miss Feixue, why not give that jade pendant to me?"

"You have the Golden Whisker Ginseng?"

Ximen Feixue inquired.

She couldn’t detect anything special about this person in front of her, so she didn’t pay much attention.
