After carefully discerning the ginseng's aura, Dugu Bo finally understood why Lin Mo had gone to such great lengths to come to Bai Family Village and buy this ginseng from Bai He.
Judging from the aura alone, this ginseng is extremely compatible with Lin Mo's Body Martial Soul, with a very high degree of compatibility.
If Lin Mo can absorb this ginseng, it will definitely be of great benefit to his Body Martial Soul.
Bai He looked at the ginseng in the jade box, a hint of reluctance flashing in his eyes.
He obtained this ginseng by chance many years ago and Last Resort ever since, never showing it to anyone.
If the clan hadn't been in dire straits back then, he wouldn't have even considered selling it.
Later, the transaction fell through for some reason, so he took the ginseng back and never mentioned it again.
I never imagined that it still couldn't be saved.
Bai He sighed inwardly, but remained outwardly calm.
He looked at Lin Mo and slowly said, "Young friend Lin Mo, Your Jade Phosphor Douluo, this thing—you can offer a price based on the situation."
He spoke very politely, but in his heart Bai He was cursing the unscrupulous merchant who had cheated him.
If that person hadn't deliberately tried to drive down the price and coerce him into buying and selling, he wouldn't have angrily terminated the transaction back then.
Not only did they fail to buy the ginseng from him at a low price, but he also leaked information about the ginseng to other people!
Now, it has even attracted Titled Douluo to personally come and buy it.
Since Dugu Bo has come to our door in person, whether or not to sell is no longer up to him.
He dared not refuse the Titled Douluo.
What's more, the person in front of him is the Poison Douluo, renowned for his use of poison.
If they anger the other party, not only will a single ginseng be affected, but the entire Speed Clan will likely suffer.
Now, all he hopes is that Lin Mo can offer a reasonable price so that he doesn't lose too much.
The Bai He silently made plans in its heart.
He didn't actually know the exact value of this Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng; he only knew it was a rare treasure.
Back then, that unscrupulous merchant only offered a few thousand Gold Soul Coin. If Lin Mo could offer that price, he would accept it.
At least—it can alleviate the tribe's immediate crisis, can't it?
Lin Mo pondered for a moment, then looked up at the Bai He.
"How does the clan leader wish to trade? Barter, or pure Gold Soul Coin?"
The Bai He hesitated.
If they barter, they might be able to get some useful resources from Lin Mo.
These things might be more valuable to the Speed Clan than Gold Soul Coin nowadays.
But—thinking of this, Bai He subconsciously glanced at the village outside.
Dilapidated houses, ragged tribespeople, and the children's thin, frail bodies—
The light in his eyes immediately dimmed.
But right now, the most important thing for the Speed Clan is how to survive.
Although Gold Soul Coin are considered cheap, they can actually solve the problem of eating.
If he could exchange this ginseng for the survival of the Speed Clan, then handing over this family heirloom wouldn't be a loss.
The Bai He took a deep breath and made a decision.
" Gold Soul Coin Trading Forum."
Lin Mo nodded without asking any further questions.
After a moment of silence, he took out a purple card from the Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse at his waist.
Lin Mo handed the card to Bai He, "This card contains 150,000 Gold Soul Coin. This is all the Gold Soul Coin I can offer at this stage."
"If these are used to exchange for Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, the clan leader will definitely be at a disadvantage."
"But this Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng is extremely important to me, and I have no choice but to shamelessly exchange it for it now."
Lin Mo looked at Bai He, his tone sincere.
"As compensation, I can make a promise to the clan leader: if the Bai He Clan Leader and the Speed Clan ever need anything in the future, they can come to Heaven Dou City to find me."
"As long as it's within my capabilities, I will definitely do my best to help you fulfill your promise."
After he finished speaking, the hall fell silent.
Bai He's hand trembled violently, and the purple card in his hand almost fell to the ground.
He stared wide-eyed at the card in his hand in disbelief.
150,000 Gold Soul Coin?
Did he really hear that right?
One Gold Soul Coin is enough for the normal expenses of an average family of three for several months.
What does 150,000 Gold Soul Coin mean?
It is no exaggeration to say that this is enough for the Speed Clan to completely get rid of their current predicament and live a prosperous life for a very long time to come.
The Speed Clan, in its entirety, has only about two hundred direct descendants.
With this money, the Speed Clan will not have to worry about making a living for at least ten years.
The Bai He's hand holding the card trembled slightly.
He had originally thought he would be satisfied with just a few thousand Gold Soul Coin.
Unexpectedly, Lin Mo asked for 150,000 right off the bat.
The difference is too great.
Dugu Bo, standing to the side, also raised an eyebrow, looking at Lin Mo with some surprise in his eyes.
He hadn't expected Lin Mo to be so rich.
150,000 Gold Soul Coin is not a small amount even for Titled Douluo like him.
The Bai He took several deep breaths before it could barely calm its excited emotions.
He looked at Lin Mo, his voice a little dry. "Young friend Lin Mo, this—this amount is too large—"
Lin Mo shook his head. " The Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng is worth the price."
He looked intently at the blood-red ginseng in the jade box.
"Its significance to the younger generation far exceeds what Gold Soul Coin can measure."
The Bai He fell silent.
After a long silence, he finally spoke slowly, "If young friend Lin Mo doesn't mind, would you allow me to go to Yu Feng City to investigate?"
It wasn't that he didn't trust Lin Mo, but the 150,000 Gold Soul Coin were simply too astonishing, and he needed to confirm it personally to feel at ease.
Lin Mo nodded. "Please proceed, clan leader."
"Junior and Senior Poison Douluo can wait here."

The Bai He no longer hesitated.
He carefully put away the purple card in his hand, and then gently pushed the jade box in front of Lin Mo.
"Young friend Lin Mo, Your Jade Phosphor Douluo, please wait a moment."
He turned to look at Bai Chenxiang.
" Chenxiang, please treat our two distinguished guests well."
"Yes, Grandpa," Bai Chenxiang replied quickly.
The next moment, Bai He's Soul Power surged, and eight Soul Ring appeared beneath his feet.
Bai He instantly transformed into a streak of light and sped away towards the direction of Yu Feng City.
Only Lin Mo, Dugu Bo, and Bai Chenxiang remained in the hall.
Bai Chenxiang stood awkwardly to the side, unsure of what to do.
She glanced at Lin Mo, then at Dugu Bo, and finally mustered the courage to speak.
"Would you two like some tea?"
Lin Mo smiled and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Miss Bai."
Bai Chenxiang moved very quickly and soon brought over two cups of hot tea.
The tea leaves were the most common kind, and the teaware was a rough earthenware cup, but it was cleaned thoroughly.
Lin Mo took the teacup and thanked him.
Dugu Bo also took the teacup, but didn't drink from it; he simply placed it aside.
The hall fell silent once more.
Bai Chenxiang stood to the side, secretly observing Lin Mo.
Lin Mo noticed Bai Chenxiang's gaze and turned to look at her.
Their eyes met, and Bai Chenxiang quickly lowered her head, her cheeks slightly flushed.
Lin Mo didn't seem to mind and casually asked, "How old is Miss Bai this year?"
"Ten years old," Bai Chenxiang answered softly.
" Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster, quite talented." Lin Mo nodded.
Bai Chenxiang bit her lip.
"Compared to Young Master Lin Mo, they are far inferior."
Lin Mo shook his head.
Everyone's circumstances are different; there's no need to belittle yourself.
He paused, " The Sharp-Tailed Swift Martial Soul of the Speed Clan is unparalleled in speed, an advantage that no other Martial Soul can match."
Upon hearing this, Bai Chenxiang's eyes lit up for a moment, but quickly dimmed again.
What good is speed?
In the face of overwhelming strength, how much of an advantage in speed can be utilized?
Lin Mo saw through her thoughts, but said nothing more.
There are some things she needs to figure out for herself.
Time passed little by little.
About twenty minutes later, a streak of light swept across the sky and landed in the courtyard in the blink of an eye.
As the white light faded, the figure of the Bai He became visible.
He strode into the hall, his face filled with barely suppressed excitement.
He gripped the purple card tightly in his hand, his knuckles turning white.
"Young friend Lin Mo, Your Jade Phosphor Douluo."
Bai He bowed deeply to the two of them.
"Transaction successfully completed."
His voice trembled slightly; there were indeed 150,000 Gold Soul Coin inside.
Not a penny less.
Bai He still remembers the shocked look in the eyes of the money exchange staff when they confirmed the amount.
Bai He is still somewhat dazed; 150,000 Gold Soul Coin just like that.
With this money, the Speed Clan can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Lin Mo stood up and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards the Bai He.
"In that case, this junior will accept this Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng."
He carefully put the jade box into his Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse.
The Bai He nodded repeatedly. "Of course, of course."
The transaction was completed smoothly, and Lin Mo and Dugu Bo did not linger.
They had achieved their goal and now needed to return to Heaven Dou City.
"Clan leader, then this junior will take his leave."
Lin Mo said to the Bai He.
Bai He quickly said, "Are you two leaving already? Why not stay a little longer so I can show you some hospitality—"
Lin Mo shook his head. "Thank you for your kindness, Clan Chief, but I have important matters to attend to and cannot stay any longer."
Seeing this, the Bai He stopped insisting.
Before parting, Lin Mo looked at the Bai He one last time.
"Chief, my promise stands forever."
"If you need anything in the future, you can come to Heaven Dou City to find me."
Bai He nodded solemnly. "I have remembered."
Lin Mo glanced at Bai Chenxiang again, nodded to her, and then turned and left with Dugu Bo.
The two figures quickly disappeared at the end of the road.
