Chapter 1201: Chapter 1201: Really Can’t Act!

High-grade Essence Stones, high-grade Fusion Essence Grass, high-grade Swiftwind Flowers...

To the observing martial artists, the fact that Zhuge Lian could easily produce such items that are highly sought after even by Cosmic Level Experts indicates that she must possess even more treasures on her. If they could obtain those, it would be akin to stumbling upon a fortune.

The onlookers, who were primarily martial artists from other ships and largely Cosmic Level Experts, saw that Zhuge Lian was only at the Vast Level and, emboldened by greed, began to covet the cultivation resources she possessed.

However, this is Misty Island, where random killings would result in expulsion from the island by its inhabitants. Therefore, even if they wanted to strike, nobody would choose to do so in broad daylight, instead planning to wait until night fell.

"Xiao Lian, offering two Blazing Flame Scarlet Heart Fruits should be enough to exchange for his Beauty Ganoderma!" Fang Bai spoke from behind Zhuge Lian.

The stall owner was an intermediate Cosmic Level Expert, far more powerful than Zhuge Lian, and had intentionally concealed his martial artist aura. Hence, Zhuge Lian was unable to know his particulars and pander to his preferences.

But Fang Bai, with his acute senses like Fiery Eyes, had long since discerned the details of the stall owner and thus spoke up to remind her.

Upon hearing "high-grade Blazing Flame Scarlet Heart Fruit," the stall owner’s eyes sparkled with excitement, and his expression became visibly agitated. He looked at Fang Bai with a hint of surprise, unexpectedly finding that this young man at Vast Level Perfection could discern that he practiced Fire-type Martial Arts.

"This..." Zhuge Lian hesitated at the mention of the Blazing Flame Scarlet Heart Fruit by Fang Bai.

Zhuge Lian possessed an Innate Fire Spirit Root and practiced Fire System Martial Arts, which made the fire-attribute high-grade Blazing Flame Scarlet Heart Fruit an invaluable treasure for her.

Zhuge Lian only had four high-grade Blazing Flame Scarlet Heart Fruits, which Fang Bai had given her after obtaining them from the hidden treasure beneath Swiftwind Valley. She had planned to ask Fang Bai to craft Fire Yuan Pills for her cultivation in the future, but the appearance of the Beauty Ganoderma now put her in a difficult position.

If she used two high-grade Blazing Flame Scarlet Heart Fruits for the exchange, she would only be left with two, which made her feel quite pained and reluctant to part with them.

But if she didn’t make the exchange now, who knows when she would have the chance to encounter Beauty Ganoderma again?

It’s known that some opportunities in the world, if missed once, might never present themselves again.

After hesitating for a moment, the desire for beauty ultimately prevailed in her heart.

"Two high-grade Blazing Flame Scarlet Heart Fruits, exchange or not?" Zhuge Lian looked at the two Beauty Ganoderma in front of her, clenched her fists tightly, bit her lip lightly, and then said to the stall owner, "If you’re not willing to exchange, then I can’t do anything! The best things I have are these!"

While she spoke, she stood up, pretending to leave, which looked more like "if you don’t trade, I’m walking away." Yet, her eyes were tightly fixed on the Beauty Ganoderma, and her face clearly showed reluctance.

"This girl really can’t act!" Fang Bai shook his head with a wry smile.

The stall owner was actually over a hundred years old and had traveled extensively throughout the True Martial Realm. With his wealth of experience, Zhuge Lian’s little tricks naturally couldn’t escape his eyes.

"Don’t leave, miss... don’t leave..." The stall owner jovially entreated Zhuge Lian to stay, then pointed at Fang Bai: "The little brother is right. I practice Fire System Martial Arts, so your Blazing Flame Scarlet Heart Fruits are indeed of some use to me. Alright then, let’s make the exchange."

Zhuge Lian broke into a delighted smile, as if worried that the stall owner might change his mind. She immediately took out two high-grade Blazing Flame Scarlet Heart Fruits from her Spatial Ring and handed them to the stall owner, then smoothly picked up two Beauty Ganodermas from the stall and put them into her ring.

"Got the Beauty Ganodermas, let’s go!"

With the exchange a success, Zhuge Lian couldn’t help but rejoice. She cheerfully said to Su Linglong, Dongfang Ruhua, and other ladies, "Sisters, once Brother Fang uses the Beauty Ganodermas to concoct the Youth Retaining Pills, everyone will get a share!"

"Thanks in advance, Xiao Lian!"

Su Linglong and the others knew the effects of the Youth Retaining Pill. Since Zhuge Lian was giving them some, naturally, they were happy.

"Little girl... just wait a moment!"

When the stall owner heard Zhuge Lian mention "Brother Fang will use the Beauty Ganoderma to concoct the Youth Retaining Pill," his eyes flashed with a strange light. He suddenly stood up and stopped Zhuge Lian, who was about to turn and leave.

"What are you trying to do? I’ve heard that in the True Martial Realm, once an exchange between Martial Artists is complete, it cannot be taken back!"

Zhuge Lian thought the stall owner had regrets about the exchange and was somewhat nervous. As she spoke, she shuffled her feet closer to Fang Bai’s side.

Although the stall owner was a Cosmic Level Expert, Fang Bai had once killed a Vast Level Perfection expert. Therefore, standing beside Fang Bai, Zhuge Lian was not afraid that the stall owner would act to snatch the Beauty Ganoderma by force.

Su Linglong and the others also gathered around Zhuge Lian, their beautiful eyes all firmly fixed on the stall owner, united in a common front of indignation.

To Su Linglong and the other ladies, the thought that they could also receive the Youth Retaining Pill concocted from Zhuge Lian’s Beauty Ganoderma—a treasure that could make them even more beautiful—meant they would never allow anyone to take it from them.

In fact, even without Fang Bai making a move, Su Linglong and the other ladies, by forming a joint Formation, would not fear any provocation from the stall owner.

The stall owner chuckled, "Don’t be nervous, young lady. I am not going back on my word. I just wanted to ask, this ’Brother Fang’ you mentioned—who is he? Can he concoct high-grade Elixirs?"

Zhuge Lian, straightforward and guileless, without any scheming, immediately pointed to Fang Bai upon hearing the question: "That’s Brother Fang there! Brother Fang can of course concoct high-grade Elixirs, and his success rate is much higher than that of an average Alchemist..."

"Xiao Lian, trouble comes from careless talk. Speak less!"

Linghu Baimei, however, was a clever woman. Worrying that Zhuge Lian would keep speaking without a filter, she immediately interrupted her.

No Martial Artist with an Innate Spiritual Root was foolish, and naturally, Zhuge Lian was not either. She just lacked worldly experience and was naive about the maliciousness of people.

Before Zhuge Lian could finish her statement, she was cut off by Linghu Baimei, causing her to pause in confusion. Her gaze swept across Linghu Baimei’s serious face, and suddenly it seemed as if she understood something.

"I..."

Looking somewhat flustered, Zhuge Lian glanced at Fang Bai and then firmly shut her mouth, daring not to speak again.

"It’s been said, no big deal..."

Fang Bai smiled wryly to himself but still comforted Zhuge Lian with his words.

Fang Bai knew that although Zhuge Lian’s remark was unintentional, it could potentially cause a great deal of trouble for him.

After all, high-grade Alchemists are extremely rare in the entire True Martial Realm. If it were known that Fang Bai was a high-grade Alchemist, how could the islanders of Misty Island and the Martial Artists passing by not go crazy for it?

Fang Bai could imagine that if news of him being a high-grade Alchemist got out, in the next moment, thousands of Martial Artists would swarm around him, requesting him to concoct Pills for them.
