30 Plant Essence
Huh?
The noblewomen were stunned.
“There really are fools willing to buy it! And they started at ten thousand taels of silver!”
“It’s just ordinary Thunderstruck Wood.”
“Too young! Chen Silin is a merchant. He makes up an unverifiable story, and they believe him.”
Zhu Jianshen, upon hearing it was Jiang Fan,
immediately felt furious. He was about to raise the bid.
Because of Jiang Fan, the Zhu Family had overpaid by four hundred thousand taels, and he wanted Jiang Fan to pay the price.
He noticed, however, that Jiang Fan was looking at him with a slight smile.
Zhu Jianshen suddenly realized,
“That filthy scoundrel, trying to trick the Zhu Family’s money again! Almost fell for it!”
He quickly closed his mouth, crossed his arms over his chest, and smirked at Jiang Fan’s performance.
Chen Silin was taken aback, not expecting Jiang Fan to bid.

After inquiring three times with no one willing to compete for the worthless Thunderstruck Wood, it sold for ten thousand taels of silver.
“Young Master Jiang, did you perhaps see something special in this piece of Thunderstruck Wood?”
Chen Silin couldn’t help but ask curiously.
From a distance, Zhu Jianshen sneered, “Anything special? Just that no one got tricked this time, and he became the fool! Hahaha!”
Wang Yingfeng also snorted in displeasure, “Embarrassing! Spending ten thousand taels of silver on a piece of broken wood! Outrageous!”
Xu Yining indifferently gazed at Jiang Fan, “Just a nouveau riche, does he really think he can afford to throw money around?”
Xu Youran silently criticized as well.
Ten thousand taels!
For a piece of broken wood?
She couldn’t understand why Jiang Fan would buy it at such a high price.
On stage,
Jiang Fan accepted the Thunderstruck Wood and slightly nodded as he wrote, “It’s indeed not ordinary wood.”
“Though it appears insignificant, it hides something valuable.”
After speaking, he discreetly used powerful soul power to probe deep into the Thunderstruck Wood, forcing out tiny drops of emerald green liquid that were invisible to the naked eye.
He collected them one by one with a jade bottle.
A moment later,
when no more emerald green droplets remained, the jade bottle was full, emitting a deep fragrance.
Xu Yining sniffed it and immediately stood up, exclaiming, “Plant Essence! It’s Plant Essence!”
Zhu Jianshen also recognized it and quickly came over, looking shocked, “It’s indeed Plant Essence!”
Some experienced noblewomen were also filled with shock.
“Plant Essence is said to be the accumulated essence of plants that have become spirits over the years.”
“When a martial artist in the Qi Cultivation Realm consumes it, they can directly break through a realm. Even a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Realm can significantly enhance their cultivation with it!”
“It’s a divine object that’s hard to find even for a million taels outside!”
“And he got it for just ten thousand taels?”
“A single bottle is enough for four people to break through!”
These words made the noblewomen’s eyes light up.
“This young master, my Zheng Family is willing to offer four hundred thousand taels of silver for just one-third of the Plant Essence.”
When reaching the sixth layer of Qi Cultivation, without top-notch Spirit Roots, breaking through each level required astronomical resources.
Spending just four hundred thousand taels to break through a level was an unbeatable bargain!
Zhu Jianshen regretted deeply, feeling like slapping himself.
Such a rare Plant Essence, and he missed it even when it was right in front of him!
Gritting his teeth, he said, “Jiang Fan! Give me this bottle, and we will settle our grievances!”
Jiang Fan smirked and wrote, “I actually prefer having grievances between us.”
“You!” Zhu Jianshen was furious, stomping his foot fiercely, “Fine! Fine!”
“You just wait!”
