"Life Essence? Teacher Li, where can I get some of that? If I kept a little on hand, I wouldn't have to worry about accidents when I went into the Earth Cave." Fang Ping's eyes lit up as he asked excitedly.
"Heh, forget it, kid. Even grandmasters can't get their hands on that stuff. Outside, it goes for twenty million a gram, and you still can't buy it.
"In the Earth Cave, Rank 9 Demon Plants have it. Why don't you go rob one? You'd have my full support," Li Changsheng said with a smile.
"...Why don't you go yourself?"
Fang Ping rolled his eyes at Li Changsheng. A Rank 9 Demon Plant? Even running into a Rank Six opponent would mean death for him right now. If Li Changsheng wanted him dead, he could just say so. There was no need to go to all this trouble.
That put an end to Fang Ping's plans. From what Li Changsheng had said, the stuff was useful even to grandmasters, and it wasn't available for sale outside.
If he could find half a kilogram, at twenty million per gram, five hundred grams would be ten billion. He'd be rich!
Fang Ping fantasized about becoming wealthy overnight.
