"Junior Brother Chen, how many contribution points do you want for this half of a thousand-year marrow ginseng?"
Instinctively, Gu Yun Si deliberately added the word "half" when he asked, tactfully pointing out that half the Treasured Medicine was missing and its value had plummeted, so he could bargain.
"Senior Brother Gu, this ginseng is only available for barter. I'm not selling it for contribution points." Chen Beiwu shook his head, inwardly growing more confident.
"I have a premium Foundation Establishment Pill here. Would you be willing to trade, Junior Brother Chen?"
Chen Beiwu deliberately looked troubled. "Senior Brother Gu, I'm not interested in Foundation Establishment Pills. I only want to exchange this for a third-tier precious medicinal herb that can aid my cultivation."

But this Junior Brother Chen was truly blackhearted. His astronomical asking price made it clear
