The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1172: Chapter 1172: A Bit of Luck, But Not Much

In the ordinary Spiritual Medicine trading area, the crowd surged like a tide.

Although the Spiritual Medicine Trade Fair generally implies the exchange of more valuable Spiritual Medicines, not every Spiritual Medicine can exceed the price of a million Spirit Stones, so the vast majority of transactions take place in the ordinary area.

In the premium Spiritual Medicine trading area, the flow of people was significantly less, and in the high-end Spiritual Medicine trading area, it was even scarcer, with the entire high-end zone only hosting roughly two hundred stalls.

As Carson and Delaney walked past the stalls, they scanned each one. After passing about twenty or thirty stalls, Carson stopped in his tracks; his gaze fell on a nearby stall, filled with excitement.

On the tag of the stall, three big characters stood out prominently.

Flawless Fruit.

Carson and Delaney exchanged a look and both saw the excitement in each other’s eyes.

Indeed, the marketplace that brought together the entire Barbaric Wilderness Realm’s Spiritual Medicines did not disappoint; they had only just arrived and already spotted one of them.

Carson approached the stall and inquired, ”Boss, how much do you sell this Flawless Fruit for?”

The stall owner, a middle-aged man with a keen eye, sized up the two of them and responded, ”Ten Million Spirit Stones each, and the price is non-negotiable.”

Carson excitedly asked, ”Don’t you have more than one?”

The stall owner replied, ”I happened to encounter a Flawless Fruit Tree in the wilderness, and it was just the ripe period for the Flawless Fruits, so I picked them all. There are four in total.”

Carson asked, ”If I take all four, can you give me a discount?”

The stall owner looked surprised, as if shocked by Carson’s considerable wealth, but still shook his head firmly, ”The value of the Flawless Fruit is well-known; ten million per piece, no discount.”

Carson nodded, ”Alright, but I would like to examine the goods.”

”Of course.”

The stall owner took out a jade box sealed with runes and placed it in front of Carson.

Carson opened the jade box, which contained a fist-sized fruit, emitting a strong fragrance.

The Flawless Fruit resembled something made of jade, smooth and soft but opaque, giving off the impression of flawless white jade, no wonder it was named so.

Confirmed, it was indeed the Flawless Fruit.

”Okay, I’ll take all four.”

After inspecting each of the four, Carson paid a total of Forty Million Spirit Stones and secured the first ingredient.

To concoct a Great Land Resurrection Elixir, only one Flawless Fruit was needed, but what if the alchemy process failed?

These Spiritual Medicines were priceless, and since he had found them, he decided to buy them. If he had extra materials, concocting several Great Land Resurrection Elixirs would also be excellent.

The Great Land Resurrection Elixir was an elixir of the Immortal Realm, containing Immortal Spiritual Force. It was originally very difficult to successfully concoct in the Barbarian Wilderness Realm, but now that Carson had the Metal Slab capable of breathing in and out Immortal Spirit Qi, it was a significant aid, making the addition of Immortal Spirit Qi to alchemy increase the rate of successful pill creation substantially.

The effect of the Great Land Resurrection Elixir was to bring back the dead – put simply, it could resurrect those who had died but not yet completely so, especially suitable for cases like Fairy Cristopher Hopkins, where the body was nearly entirely gone, but the Primordial Spirit still remained. It could allow the Primordial Spirit to reunite with the body and fully resurrect.

An elixir capable of revival, its value naturally could not be measured in Spirit Stones, and being able to concoct several would be beneficial in every way.

After leaving the stall, Carson smiled, ”Three more to go, let’s continue.”

The two of them checked all two hundred stalls but found nothing else.

Carson smiled bitterly, ”We’re a bit lucky, but not much.”

Delaney laughed, ”The trade fair lasts for ten days, and it’s only the first day. Perhaps some people haven’t arrived yet. The Flawless Fruit is the least valuable among these four ingredients; it might not necessarily sell for ten million Spirit Stones. The stall owner was just leveraging popularity by setting a price of ten million to get into the high-end zone and happened upon us, so he managed to sell them in one breath.”

”The other three Spiritual Medicines are far more valuable than the Flawless Fruit. If it were me, I certainly wouldn’t set up a stall here to sell but would take them to the auction instead to ensure more people see them and get a better price.”

Carson’s eyes lit up, ”That’s right, there’s the auction, let’s go take a look.”

The two arrived in front of the auction hall, where a magical light screen at the entrance was displaying information about the numerous items up for auction.

As Carson and Delaney watched the continually flashing information on the screen, their eyes suddenly brightened.

”Divine Thunder Soul Wood!”

Carson was overjoyed, ”It’s really here, part of the second batch for auction, starting this afternoon.”

Delaney smiled, ”Good news, if we get it, then we only need two more types.”

”Let’s wait then.”

The two aimlessly walked around to kill time, and before long, it was the afternoon.

As the time for the second auction session arrived, those interested in bidding each paid One Thousand Spirit Stones and received a bidding tag. This prevented random spectators from going in and disrupting the auction.

Each Spiritual Medicine up for auction here was a treasure, but Carson had no current need for the others, so he waited quietly.

”Next is the twelfth auction item, a segment of the Divine Thunder Soul Wood core.”

”Divine Thunder Soul Wood comes from a Heavenly Soul Tree that gained Spiritual Wisdom and became a demon, and is the result of failing during its Heavenly Tribulation. This segment of the Divine Thunder Soul Wood came from a Heavenly Soul Tree demon that reached the True Self Realm, failed to become a Great Demon through the Tribulation Lightning, and was reduced to ashes. Such a find is incredibly rare every century...””
