With Tsunade's insight, she could already imagine what kind of miracles could be created if there was enough of this Water of Life.
Eternal youth?
Rapid wound recovery?
Even immortality?
The way she looked at Shen Mo had already changed somewhat.
Someone who could produce something like this could not possibly be an ordinary merchant.
"You're quite something, kid." Tsunade shook the bottle in her hand. "Can you tell me where you purchase these Jars?"
She had changed how she addressed him from brat to kid?
It seemed the Fountain of Youth had shocked her even more than he had expected.
A few thoughts flashed through Shen Mo's mind, but the smile on his face remained unchanged. "Sorry, that's a trade secret. We signed a Contract that forbids us from revealing it."
Tsunade narrowed her eyes slightly.
We?
That meant there was more than one person selling these Jars.
She instinctively wondered whether some mysterious force was plotting something behind the scenes again.
But then—
"Forget it. I was just asking. Just asking." Tsunade repeated herself as though trying to convince herself.
After all, she had already left Konoha.
Whatever happened in the world had nothing to do with her anymore.
Watching Tsunade suddenly force a smile as her gaze dimmed, Shen Mo vaguely understood.
Tsunade was still in her period of despair.
The successive deaths of her younger brother and lover had dealt her too great a blow.
"Then I'll be taking my leave."
Shen Mo deliberately took out a rope and pretended to slowly tie up the remaining eight scrolls, as though he intended to carry them away on his back.
"Wait."
Tsunade's voice rang out, just as he had expected.
She had taken the bait.
Delighted inside, Shen Mo looked up. "Is there anything else you need, miss?"
"You must be exhausted carrying so many Jars around. How about selling them all to me at a discount?" Tsunade stared expectantly at the other Jars.
That was right.
Though she did not want to meddle in unnecessary matters anymore, she was still deeply curious about these Jars.
If there was Water of Life, could there be other things inside as well?
The unknown was also one of the greatest charms of Jars, not to mention the thrill of gambling.
"A discount is impossible." Shen Mo refused firmly, his face full of apology. "That's also a rule. I'm truly sorry. In fact, even for those two Jars just now, I'll have to pay the original price myself when I return."
He could not casually give in when it came to discounts.
Otherwise, once they became familiar, there would be no end to it.
Shen Mo had to keep promoting one point.
I'm just a worker. I have some benefits and some strength, but I don't get to decide matters involving selling Jars.
"Tch." Tsunade was clearly displeased, but she did not insist. With a wave of her hand, she shouted grandly, "Shizune, pay him."
"But, Lady Tsunade..." Shizune hesitated.
Tsunade loved gambling and was buried in debt. All she had left was some money for daily expenses.
"It's fine. You can't lose by buying these Jars!" Tsunade shook the bottle in her hand again, her eyes full of excitement.
The second charm of Jars.
You can't lose!
She only felt that everything drawn from them had a certain value, never considering that what was inside might be completely useless to her.
Shen Mo understood clearly.
Princess Tsunade had already fallen into it.
"This has really helped me out a great deal." Shen Mo happily accepted the money from Shizune. The system in his mind determined that the transaction had been completed, and then he pushed the Jars in his hands forward. "May I watch what is inside the Jars as well? If there are any rare items, I can explain them to you."
Tsunade nodded indifferently, then pressed down with her palm.
Smack.
Another ten thousand in cash?
She immediately looked disgusted and moved on to the next one.
This time, a packet of powder appeared.
"This is a special Daffodil Root Powder, worth around thirty thousand." Without waiting for Tsunade to ask, Shen Mo explained directly, "If it is combined with a special Mugwort Stem Liquid, it can produce a powerful sleeping potion called Water of Life and Death. It is colorless, odorless, and extremely effective."
It came from the world of Harry Potter.
In fact.
Of these eight Jars, aside from the two containing money, five contained potions or herbs from the world of Harry Potter.
Healing potions, Petrification Potion, and the most expensive one—a tiny bottle of Veritaserum that Shen Mo claimed was worth eighty thousand.
Of course, their actual value in the system was only around ten thousand each.
That was roughly six hundred Trading Points, just enough to meet one-fifth of the minimum transaction value.
"I hit the jackpot!"
Tsunade's excited shout happened to overlap perfectly with Shen Mo's delighted thought.
"There are actually such miraculous potions and magical herbs."
She looked at Shen Mo, her face flushed red with excitement.
When had Tsunade, who lost every gamble she entered, ever made so much like this?
"Your luck is indeed good." Shen Mo did not hesitate to flatter her, giving her a look of perfectly timed admiration. "Even though this is a Medical Series Jar set, drawing so many valuable potions is still extremely rare."
"Hahahaha!"
Tsunade laughed loudly without the slightest ladylike grace, then reached out and smashed the final Jar with a slap.
There was a book inside.
Here it came!
Shen Mo's gaze sharpened slightly.
This was the real grand gift he had prepared.
"What is this?" Tsunade picked it up and opened it. "Applications of Chakra in Cellular Regeneration."
"It's actually this!?" Shen Mo's acting skills erupted as he revealed a shocked expression. "This is a treasure of Medical Ninja! It is said that whoever can collect the entire series can become the greatest Medical Ninja!"
"The greatest Medical Ninja?" Tsunade glanced at Shen Mo and gave a disdainful snort. "Tch."
She herself was already a rather famous Medical Ninja.
It seemed this was the most useless item.
She casually read a few lines.
Then suddenly.
Her expression changed.
"Lady Tsunade?" Shizune quietly asked from beside her, but Tsunade raised a hand to stop her from continuing.
The room suddenly fell silent.
Only the rustling sound of pages turning remained.
This book...
Much of what was recorded in it was exactly the same as what she had researched and conceived herself!
There were even many additions and explanations that she did not know herself.
Shen Mo merely watched with a smile.
In fact.
The author of this book was Tsunade herself. However, what Shen Mo had searched for was Tsunade's medical work from fifteen years later!
And he had only taken a small portion of it.
He had specially spent a certain number of Trading Points to remove any information that might reveal names, dates, and the like.
The system truly deserved the word "omnipotent."
"What else is there?"
Tsunade had already become engrossed in it, only to suddenly discover that there was nothing below.
The entire stack of pages was only around ten pages long.
For a top-tier Medical Ninja like her, this feeling was terrible.
"This is a series." Shen Mo shook his head helplessly. "It can only be found in Medical Series Jars, but collecting the full set is very difficult."
The third charm of Jars!
Collecting!
Just like one of those games where you pull for wives.
The first treasure is useless, the second has low damage, the third feels like a passerby, and when you get the fourth, why aren't you pulling her to full copies already?
