[Ning Rongrong: Yan Yan, I only have a little over a million Gold Soul Coins on me. Could I owe you the rest for now, or could you wait half a day while I go back to the sect to get it?]
[Bibi Dong: This Pope wants that Immortal Herb. Dugu Yan, we can complete the full transaction right now.]
[Xue Qinghe: Dugu Yan, I can trade with you right now, too.]
[Sea God Island High Priest: How about letting me get in on this, too?]
As soon as Dugu Yan finished speaking, several members of the group immediately clamored to buy the herbs. Even Bo Saixi couldn't resist joining in.
Knowing the Immortal Herbs' miraculous effects, no one was willing to miss the chance to trade Gold Soul Coins for them.
Even if these were only Immortal Herbs of ordinary quality, and even if they didn't suit one's Martial Soul, they were still rare treasures in this world!
Seeing these rich ladies casually offering millions of Gold Soul Coins as though money meant nothing, Shui Bing'er, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu quietly huddled off to the side to watch the show.
They'd better stick to diligently saving up points. This kind of big-spending scene had nothing to do with them.
Dugu Yan hadn't expected a single ordinary Immortal Herb to draw bids from four group members, and couldn't help staring in surprise.
But after thinking it over, she understood. Even an ordinary Immortal Herb could very likely produce a Titled Douluo-level powerhouse. No force could resist coveting one.
After pondering for a moment, she finally decided to trade with the group member whose nickname was Xue Qinghe.
[Dugu Yan: I'll trade this Immortal Herb with Qinghe. But Rongrong, Pope, High Priestess, I'll set one aside for each of you, too.]
[Dugu Yan: Of course, the same goes for the other group members. If you want one, you can all buy it on credit with points.]
At that moment, Dugu Yan seemed like a completely different person in the group, flush with money and even offering to let people buy on credit.
Of course, she was also taking the opportunity to build good relations with the group members.
They'd all gained the opportunity of joining the Chat Group. Their future achievements were sure to be extraordinary, so there was no harm in making friends early.
[Ning Rongrong: All right, thank you, Yan Yan. I want the Aromatic Silk Beauty. I'll go back to the sect and get the money from my dad right now.]
The Aromatic Silk Beauty was a top-grade Immortal Herb, priced at one million points in the Group Mall. Converted to Gold Soul Coins, it would cost a hundred million.
But it could evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would snatch it up without hesitation, even if it cost more than a hundred million.
What's more, this Immortal Herb didn't just evolve a Martial Soul; it could also strengthen the body and lay a solid foundation. Becoming a Peerless Douluo in the future would no longer be a mere dream.
As for buying it with points or putting it on credit?
Forget it. Points were far more useful than Gold Soul Coins in her eyes. If she could pay in Gold Soul Coins, who would want to spend points?
Most importantly, she was the little princess of the world's foremost support sect, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. What would it look like if she had to buy on credit?
[Bibi Dong: All right. I'll first look through the options and see which Immortal Herb I want. I'll tell you once I've decided.]
[Sea God Island High Priest: I'll take a careful look and choose one, too.]
[All the women: Thank you, Yan Yan.]
[Group notification: Dugu Yan and Xue Qinghe have completed a transaction.]
Dugu Yan's solution made everyone happy. Even though she'd suddenly grown rich overnight, she hadn't forgotten the other group members.
After the transaction was complete, she looked at the eight million Gold Soul Coins that had suddenly appeared in her hands, unable to suppress the corners of her mouth from turning up.
After greeting everyone in the group and leaving, she turned to her grandfather beside her.
"Grandpa, are you ready for a surprise? Your heart will need to be able to take it."
When Dugu Bo heard his precious granddaughter tell him to wait, he'd stood quietly beside her without saying a word. He'd only watched curiously as she carefully dug up a weed, then made it disappear. He'd assumed she had put it in a Soul Tool.
Now, hearing his granddaughter say this, he couldn't help finding it amusing. What sort of surprise could possibly scare him, a Titled Douluo?
But the next second, his unconcerned expression froze. His mouth gaped wide enough to fit a fist, and his eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets.
Dugu Yan flipped her wrist and poured out all the Gold Soul Coins she'd received from her trade with Xue Qinghe in the Chat Group.
"Clatter!"
The glittering Gold Soul Coins poured down like a golden river, crashing onto the ground with a bright, crisp ring.
In just a moment, they'd piled up into a golden mountain nearly as tall as he was. Its flashing light dazzled him, made his heart race, and sent his head spinning.
A rough estimate put the pile of Gold Soul Coins at no less than five million!
Seeing her grandfather completely dumbstruck, Dugu Yan could barely keep the grin off her face. She was feeling downright smug.
"Th-this... th-this..."
Dugu Bo swallowed, but for a long time, he couldn't manage to get out a complete sentence.
Only after quite a while did Dugu Bo come back to his senses. He hurriedly asked, "Yan Yan, where did you get so many Gold Soul Coins?"
He was a Titled Douluo and had no shortage of Gold Soul Coins, but he'd never had more than a million at a time.
Now, seeing his precious granddaughter wave her hand and produce several million Gold Soul Coins, how could he not be dumbfounded?
"I sold that Immortal Herb just now," Dugu Yan said, as though it were obvious.
"What?" Dugu Bo's eyes widened again.
"Don't joke with Grandpa, all right? I'll admit, my heart can't take this."
"Grandpa, I'm not joking." Dugu Yan gave a soft snort, then explained, "Your granddaughter got an enormous opportunity. I can't explain the details clearly, but all you need to know is that every one of these flowers and plants you think are weeds can sell for an astronomical price—and people are fighting to buy them."
"That weed you just saw sold for eight million Gold Soul Coins."
"Gulp." Dugu Bo swallowed hard. He knew his granddaughter, and knew she wouldn't still be joking with him at a time like this.
After a while longer, Dugu Bo finally managed to take in the news. He turned to look at the hundreds, even thousands, of weeds around them, and asked in a trembling voice, "These... are they, too?"
"That's right. All of them." Dugu Yan nodded firmly. She then walked over to the Aromatic Silk Beauty and answered in a way that made his jaw drop: "This Immortal Herb is called the Aromatic Silk Beauty. The little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has already reserved it. It's priced at a hundred million."
Thump.
Dugu Bo's legs gave way, and he dropped straight to his knees in front of his granddaughter.
What had he just heard? A hundred million? That was a hundred million Gold Soul Coins! And someone from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had already reserved it?
"Grandpa, what are you doing?"
Dugu Yan was startled by her grandfather's actions. No matter how excited he was, he couldn't go making such a grand bow; it made her, his granddaughter, look terribly unfilial!
Still, she felt downright pleased to see her grandfather so completely thrown off balance.
Kneeling on the ground, Dugu Bo stared fixedly at the Aromatic Silk Beauty. The words "a hundred million" echoed through his mind again and again, leaving him in a daze, as though his soul had left his body.
If all this was true, wouldn't he, Dugu Bo, be the richest Soul Master on the continent?
Suddenly, as if something had occurred to him, he raised a hand and smacked the back of his head hard, letting out a heartrending wail.
"My goodness! What have I done to deserve this over the past few decades? I've been treating these rare treasures like weeds and ruining them all these years!"
Thinking of how he hadn't recognized their value and had even found them in the way, pulling so many up and throwing them away, his heart ached so badly he could hardly breathe...
