Chapter 378: Does Such a Good Deal Even Exist in This World!?

Lin Zhen smiled bitterly and said, "Senior Brother Yang, a Lower Fifth-Rank Divine Armament isn't enough to trade for a Crimson Ghost Ginseng..."

He paused for a moment, "However, Crimson Ghost Ginseng can be used to refine Vital Qi Age Defying. A single complete Crimson Ghost Ginseng can produce at least three Vital Qi Age Defying pills.

How about this, our Lin Family can use one Vital Qi Age Defying pill to trade for this Lower Fifth-Rank Divine Armament?"

Vital Qi Age Defying is refined from Crimson Ghost Ginseng?

Yang Ling was slightly taken aback.

No wonder Vital Qi Age Defying was considered mid-to-lower tier among the Twelve Sacred Martial Medicines.

Its effects were also far inferior to the Water Bodhi seed.

"Vital Qi Age Defying enhances Vital Qi. Does Crimson Ghost Ginseng also primarily focus on enhancing Vital Qi?"

A thought stirred in Yang Ling's mind, and he asked curiously, "Junior Brother Lin, since your Lin Family has such a fine treasure, why haven't you taken it yourself?"

Lin Zhen said with surprise, "I already consumed one Crimson Ghost Ginseng when I first started martial arts training. Taking a second one wouldn't just be ineffective, it would actually accumulate toxins in my body and cause sudden death.

That's why my family has been waiting for the right opportunity to refine the Crimson Ghost Ginseng into Vital Qi Age Defying before I take it."

"So Crimson Ghost Ginseng can't be consumed repeatedly..."

"But this kid just started martial arts, and he's already getting to eat a Sacred Martial Medicine?"

Yang Ling felt a wave of emotion. The foundation of Lin Zhen's family must not be underestimated.

With such a background and such resources, no wonder he was the Chief Disciple of Flying Dragon Mountain under Devour Heaven Palace.

How could an ordinary martial artist of humble origins possibly compare to him?

"Luckily, players have their own advantages. If my starting point were the same as the Natives of the Divine Realm, I wouldn't have been able to come into contact with someone like Lin Zhen in a lifetime, let alone hear him call me Senior Brother..."

Thinking this, Yang Ling humbly sought guidance, "Junior Brother Lin, I'm not very familiar with Crimson Ghost Ginseng. Could I ask what miraculous effects it has that earn it the title of Sacred Martial Medicine?"

Lin Zhen was stunned for a moment, his heart filled with emotion.

In his memory, this Palace Master's personal disciple before him seemed to come from an ordinary background.

He most likely never had the chance to come into contact with Sacred Martial Medicines.

He had nearly forgotten this point earlier. Only when the other party asked about Crimson Ghost Ginseng did he realize it.

"He hasn't even eaten Crimson Ghost Ginseng, yet he's managed to reach this point and become the Palace Master's personal disciple..."

"I am not his equal."

At this moment, Lin Zhen was completely convinced in his heart.

"Senior Brother Yang, Crimson Ghost Ginseng can increase Internal Technique cultivation and Vital Qi. Aside from that, it has another benefit that only manifests when breaking through to Fifth-Rank."

Lin Zhen's expression turned serious, "You should know that the Fifth-Rank Lesser Master realm grants transcendent recovery abilities."

"Crimson Ghost Ginseng can make that recovery ability even stronger, but it only takes effect if consumed before the breakthrough to Fifth-Rank."

"Back then, as the most talented martial artist among the younger generation of the Lin Family, my father had already been grooming me as a future Fifth-Rank Lesser Master."

"Crimson Ghost Ginseng was obtained by our Lin Family in exchange for a Fire Crystal Rock Mine and an Iron Ore Mine."

"We managed to trade for two in total. I consumed one, and the remaining one was meant to be refined into Vital Qi Age Defying before I take it."

What!? It can enhance gene mutation abilities!?

Yang Ling was somewhat shocked. He hadn't expected Crimson Ghost Ginseng to have this kind of effect.

Kong Xinghu's recovery ability back then had already shown him the power of gene mutation.

"If that kind of recovery ability gets even stronger, how terrifying would that be..."

Yang Ling subconsciously swallowed hard.

He hadn't broken through to Lower Fifth-Rank yet, so he still had a chance to gain this enhancement!

"Maybe by the next time I enter Devour Heaven Palace, I'll have already broken through to Fifth-Rank... So this time, no matter what, I have to get my hands on this Crimson Ghost Ginseng!"

Yang Ling even entertained the thought of kidnapping Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen was getting a bit frightened by the look in Yang Ling's eyes.

This Senior Brother wasn't planning to tie him up, was he!?

"Junior Brother Lin Zhen, I actually have another Divine Armament in my possession, with a grade of at least Upper Sixth-Rank."

Yang Ling said thoughtfully, "It's also the rarest type of defensive Divine Armament, capable of saving your life at critical moments.

On top of that, I'm willing to add some Foundation Consolidation Pills to trade for your Lin Family's Crimson Ghost Ginseng."

"Foundation Consolidation Pills?"

Lin Zhen looked troubled, "If it's just an Upper Sixth-Rank Divine Armament and Foundation Consolidation Pills, I'm afraid..."

How could those two things compare to Crimson Ghost Ginseng?

"One hundred Foundation Consolidation Pills!"

Yang Ling said seriously, "Two Divine Armaments and one hundred Foundation Consolidation Pills, in exchange for your Lin Family's Crimson Ghost Ginseng!"

He believed Lin Zhen had the authority to make this decision.

The Lin Family was in conflict with Star Observation Academy, and they had to call Lin Zhen down from the mountain to save the day.

This showed that with Lin Zhen's strength, status, and position, he had already become one of the Lin Family's pillars.

"One hundred Foundation Consolidation Pills!?"

Lin Zhen was taken aback. This Senior Brother truly didn't show his hand, did he?

To actually be carrying this many Foundation Consolidation Pills!?

Lin Zhen was starting to waver.

Foundation Consolidation Pills indeed couldn't compare to Crimson Ghost Ginseng.

But one hundred Foundation Consolidation Pills would be an enormous boost to his Internal Technique cultivation.

His Internal Technique had already reached the Skilled level for a very, very long time.

It was precisely because he didn't have enough Foundation Consolidation Pills that he had been unable to step into the Transcendent realm!

"If my Internal Technique were at the Transcendent level, I wouldn't have lost so hastily when I fought him last time. Even if I couldn't beat him, it would at least be a forty-sixty split..."

"But... one hundred Foundation Consolidation Pills plus a Lower Fifth-Rank Divine Armament and an Upper Sixth-Rank Divine Armament... still isn't enough to exchange for my Lin Family's Crimson Ghost Ginseng..."

Lin Zhen muttered to himself, then smiled sheepishly, "Senior Brother Yang... my father probably wouldn't agree. Foundation Consolidation Pills may be precious, but with enough money, they can still be bought..."

Yang Ling had guessed the other party wouldn't agree, so he was already prepared:

"One hundred and fifty Foundation Consolidation Pills!"

"..."

Lin Zhen gasped sharply and asked cautiously, "Senior Brother Yang, did you rob some Medicinal Shop?

No, even a Medicinal Shop would have a hard time scraping together one hundred and fifty Foundation Consolidation Pills in such a short time..."

"Junior Brother Lin, please rest assured. These Foundation Consolidation Pills are all clean. They were prepared for my own breakthrough in Internal Technique."

Yang Ling smiled and said, "One Lower Fifth-Rank Divine Armament, one Upper Sixth-Rank Divine Armament, and one hundred and fifty Foundation Consolidation Pills.

How about trading all that for your Lin Family's Crimson Ghost Ginseng?

My sincerity is more than evident."

Lin Zhen was silent for a long time before he smiled bitterly, "In the future, when I break through to Fifth-Rank, I'll also need to enhance my Vital Qi. Crimson Ghost Ginseng can be used to refine Vital Qi Age Defying.

I originally planned to take three pills myself and spare one to trade for the Lower Fifth-Rank Divine Armament, that would be fine. But to actually trade away the entire Crimson Ghost Ginseng..."

"No need to say more. I'll add a second-rate internal technique as well, the Ironclad Divine Armor Sutra!"

Yang Ling said in a deep voice, "This is the highest price I can offer. If Junior Brother Lin is unwilling to trade, then this Senior Brother has nothing more to say!"

"Iron... what!? A second-rate internal technique?"

Lin Zhen's heart suddenly began pounding uncontrollably.

Did he just hear that right?

Was the other party really going to use a second-rate internal technique plus 150 Foundation Consolidation Pills, a Lower Fifth-Rank Divine Armament, and an Upper Sixth-Rank Divine Armament to trade for his family's Crimson Ghost Ginseng!?

Does such a good deal even exist in this world!?
