Trade (4)

"Senior! The three conditions we just discussed were for exchanging information about the Green Lotus Core Flame. It's probably inappropriate for you to use those conditions to borrow the Lotus Pedestal now! However, considering that we just completed a transaction, it's not impossible to lend you the Lotus Pedestal, but you'll need to do one thing for me on the side." Lin Ming replied immediately after hearing Old Yao's words.

After obtaining the Lotus Pedestal containing the Green Lotus Core Flame, Xiao Yan could utilize the Earth Core Flame energy within it to accelerate his cultivation speed by nearly 30%. Moreover, having the Lotus Pedestal platform to hold the Green Lotus Core Flame would save an immense amount of energy when collecting it. Therefore, after Lin Ming finished speaking, Old Yao immediately said, "Tell me the specifics!"

After the Old Yao, Lin Ming said, "Senior, one of the conditions we just discussed was about Pill Refining. One of the main ingredients for these pills is Sand Mandara. Because it grows deep in the Tagor Desert, which is the core area of Snake People Race, this herb was the price paid for borrowing the Green Lotus Pedestal for a year. If you want to obtain the Green Lotus Core Flame, you must go to the core area of Tagor Desert, so this is just a convenient matter for you."

As soon as Lin Ming finished speaking, Old Yao's words, tinged with admiration, came out. "Ah! It's a deal! Lin Ming, you truly live up to your reputation as a member of the Mittel Family, a renowned business clan!"

"You flatter me, senior. Isn't our transaction going well for both of us?" Lin Ming replied with a smile as soon as the Old Yao finished speaking.

"Alright, give me the items!" Ignoring Lin Ming's words, the Old Yao tossed the two scrolls in his hand to Lin Ming.

Lin Ming took the scroll and immediately began to read it carefully.

Seeing Lin Ming examining the scroll, the Old Yao didn't urge him. After all, inspecting the items being traded was a perfectly normal thing to do.

"Senior, what's wrong with you?" After a moment, Lin Ming looked at Old Yao with a troubled expression and asked.

"What? The scroll I gave you is perfectly fine, isn't it?" Seeing Lin Ming's unpleasant expression, Old Yao knew exactly what Lin Ming wanted to say. So, although Old Yao to Lin Ming with no change in expression, a secret sense of satisfaction welled up inside him.

"Senior, this scroll itself is nothing special, but the conditions recorded in it are extremely difficult!" Looking at the composed Old Yao, Lin Ming revealed a look of having been tricked.

"If the Woeful Poison Body, ' a constitution that brings misfortune from birth, could really be controlled so easily, then you'd probably have to doubt the authenticity of this method, wouldn't you?" Old Yao immediately replied after Lin Ming finished speaking.

After hearing the Old Yao's explanation, Lin Ming's expression gradually changed. Then, with a sigh, Lin Ming said, "Ah! There's still some hope!"

"Boy, you're still too green to fight me!" Seeing Lin Ming's expression, Old Yao was overjoyed. He immediately uttered some sarcastic words in his heart.

However, outwardly, Old Yao naturally wouldn't reveal his inner joy. At this moment, seeing Lin Ming accept the scroll, Old Yao said, "Now that you've confirmed the scroll's completion, shouldn't you give me the Lotus Pedestal?"

"Take it!" Lin Ming said reluctantly after hearing Old Yao's words. Then, with a reluctant expression, Lin Ming pushed the Lotus Pedestal towards Old Yao.

After handing over the Lotus Pedestal, Lin Ming conjured a scroll in his hand with a thought. Then, under the influence of Lin Ming's Soul Power, the scroll opened and closed.

After processing the scroll, Lin Ming took out a map and handed it along with the scroll to Old Yao, saying, "Senior, once you find the Sand Mandara, go to the place marked on this map. There, simply show this scroll to the old man, and he will understand what to do. Then, after you finish refining the pill for him, our transaction will be complete."

Upon hearing Lin Ming's explanation, the Old Yao apothecary nodded and then accepted the scroll and map that Lin Ming had given him.

After everything was settled, Lin Ming immediately said, "Senior, Brother Xiao Yan, now that the transaction is complete, I won't disturb you any longer. Farewell!"

"Lin Ming, I also need some medicinal herbs. I wonder if you have any here. Of course, I won't take them for nothing. Let's complete the transaction!" Seeing Lin Ming about to leave, the Old Yao immediately called out to Lin Ming.

With Lin Ming's Soul Power strength, he is at least Tier 5 Alchemist. In the Jia Ma Empire, Tier 5 Alchemist is already considered one of the most outstanding Alchemist.

From Lin Ming's words, we know that he was searching for Heavenly Flames, so he must have prepared some materials to help refine Heavenly Flames.

However, since Queen Medusa obtained the Heavenly Flames, Lin Ming had no use for the auxiliary materials needed to refine Heavenly Flames.

It's rare to encounter such a high-level Alchemist, especially one Alchemist has prepared auxiliary materials for refining the Heavenly Flames but hasn't used them. In the Jia Ma Empire, Lin Ming is probably the only one like him. So when he saw Lin Ming trying to leave, the Old Yao immediately stopped him.

"Senior, I certainly have some medicinal herbs here. But what about the items to exchange?" Lin Ming replied immediately after hearing the Old Yao stop him from trading again.

"Lin Ming, don't worry. As long as you can produce the medicinal herbs I need, I have a few fifth or 6th Grade prescriptions here." Seeing the expression on Lin Ming's face that said he would have to offer something good if he wanted to exchange with him, the Old Yao immediately spoke up.

Since it was Old Yao who initiated the transaction, Lin Ming naturally wanted to know his offer first. So, after Old Yao finished speaking, Lin Ming immediately asked, "Haha, alright! But senior, Lin Ming would like to know which Sixth-grade Pill Recipe you have here?"

"6th Grade medicinal formulas aren't so easy to exchange. However, to show my sincerity, I'll reveal two or three! Depending on their value, there's the low-grade 6th Grade Swift Breath Pill, the most well-known Tier 6 Dou Emperor Pill that can raise One-Star Dou Emperor cultivation, and the Sect Breaking Pill, which reaches the Tier 6 Peak and whose refining difficulty rivals that of an ordinary Tier 7!" After saying this, Old Yao looked at Lin Ming and said again, "So, do these formulas meet your standards?"

"Haha, Senior's collection is truly extensive. These are extremely rare treasures, even for any 6th Grade Alchemist, let alone for me, Lin Ming," Lin Ming replied with a laugh. Then, Lin Ming asked, "So, Senior, what kind of medicinal herbs do you need?"

"Can you produce the medicinal herbs for that Sixth-grade Pill Recipe formula I just gave you?" Upon seeing Lin Ming's question, the Old Yao immediately replied.

Upon hearing Old Yao's words, Lin Ming was immediately stunned.
