Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 1264: Chapter 1264: And That One [Alliance Hierarch Narcolepsy Bonus Chapter]

The old poison master decided to place a bet with Lu Xiaobu, but it left the Sect Master and others utterly shocked!

What?! The Treasure Pavilion?!

They want to bring over things from the Treasure Pavilion too?!

Those are truly valuable items, genuine rare treasures!

These are things you wouldn’t see in a hundred or even a thousand years!

And now they want to bring them all over?!

Even that’s not enough; they need to go to the Outer Valley to purchase medicinal herbs?!

Purchasing from the Outer Valley might be acceptable, but to go even further to the outskirts and harvest from the tourist areas?!

My God! What is this all about?!

Are they gambling the entire Medicine King Valley?!

”Hurry up!” the old poison master shouted!

No matter what, if it doesn’t work, they’ll just have to fight Lu Xiaobu!

After all, knowing Lu Xiaobu’s stubborn nature, he would never hand over that girl!

And once a fight starts, it would inevitably end in mutual destruction!

In that case, it’s better to take the gamble now!

What if they win!

In the end, the people from the Medicine King Valley went ahead.

It wasn’t long before some incredibly tempting items were laid out on the ground, making Ye Changsheng drool, and even the old poison master couldn’t bear to watch!

Before anyone could discuss what amazing things these were!

”Bang!”

The treasures turned to dust!

Instantly!

Everyone felt a knife stabbing right into their hearts!

My God! It’s all gone?!

It disappeared just like that?!

”Hmm, these things are quite good, get me another hundred or eighty.” Lu Xiaobu nodded.

Just now, those things could visibly enhance the Wood Attribute Energy of the ancient tree, so they were truly remarkable.

”A hundred or eighty!?” The Sect Master was about to curse!

If there were a hundred or eighty of those things, they’d all be gods by now!

Not only that, but the Medicine King Valley disciples had already started bringing in medicinal herbs in massive quantities.

Yet, as always, once a batch arrived, another one was already gone!

The herbal dust on the ground had accumulated to a foot thick, testament to how many herbs had been tossed into this bottomless pit!

Eventually, all the herbs from the Outer Valley were purchased, and the outermost valley was practically stripped bare by the Medicine King Valley people, drawing the ire of the local tourism department!

But it still wasn’t enough!

”Just a little more! Just a little more!” Lu Xiaobu had a feeling they were one step away!

With just a bit more, a qualitative change would occur from the quantitative buildup!

However, there was practically nothing left that could be absorbed now.

The once verdant and fragrant Medicine King Valley had transformed into a barren desert.

”Is there any more? Is there any more?!” The old poison master was on the verge of madness; was it still not enough?!

But he could also sense that the ancient tree was changing!

Just like a chick about to break out of its shell, something was missing!

”It’s all gone! Really gone!” The Sect Master looked at the desolate Medicine King Valley, ready to burst into tears, slumping to the ground!

What kind of retribution is this!

”Wait! There’s more!” Lu Xiaobu had a sudden realization: ”Hey, old poison master, go to my room, there are Red Fruits! Hurry!”

”A couple of Red Fruits won’t be much use!” The old poison master disregarded Lu Xiaobu’s tone and asked directly.

”I have over nine hundred of them! Hurry!” Lu Xiaobu shouted.

”Holy...crap!”

The old poison master was so shocked he swore!

Over nine hundred?!

How many fruits could one Red Fruit tree bear?!

At previous Hundred Medicine Conferences, the merchants would’ve devoured them all by now!

And now Lu Xiaobu says he has over nine hundred?!

My God!

Lu Xiaobu, did you buy up all the Red Fruits that were dirt cheap, and used for food by everyone?!

Yes, he guessed right!

Of course, he didn’t have time to think about Lu Xiaobu’s initial intentions, racing to Lu Xiaobu’s inn as fast as possible, retrieving all nine hundred Red Fruits!

No sooner had he arrived than the Red Fruits began turning to dust one by one!

When they’d used up about seven hundred of them!

Finally!

The quantitative change became a qualitative one!

It was done!

So, under the watchful eyes of everyone present, they saw the seemingly lifeless ancient tree...

Unexpectedly!

Begin to sprout a small bud!

A lush green bud, so tiny!

But anyone who had been watching since the beginning understood!

This little bud might look small, but it was the culmination of everything accumulated in the Medicine King Valley over a century!

My God! It was not easy!

With a thud!

The old poison master plopped down on the ground, even though he was a Grandmaster, he felt utterly exhausted.

Not just him, every person from Medicine King Valley sat on the ground, their eyes fixed firmly on that tiny sprout!

”Is this for real?! Has the ancient tree really sprouted?!”

”My God! This ancient tree, it really sprouted?! The legend was true!”

”But the cost is so great! The ancient tree sprouted, but it drained almost all our resources at Medicine King Valley!”

”Oh, Heaven! Oh, Earth! This is a miracle, a miracle indeed!”

”...”

”Huh? Why isn’t there a phenomenon?” Lu Xiaobu stepped back two steps, scratched his head, and turned to the old poison master, asking, ”Hey, old poison master, didn’t you say this is a Heaven and Earth Spirit Root? How come after spending so much, there’s no phenomenon?!”

According to Lu Xiaobu’s novel-reading experience, shouldn’t this be the moment where it sprouts, and heavenly dew descends, reviving everything?

What?!

Nothing happened?!

”What phenomenon do you want? Just sprouting took so much of our resources; where’s the extra energy for a phenomenon? Haven’t you learned about the conservation of energy?” the old poison master retorted with an eye roll.

Honestly, it was quite amusing!

As a Grandmaster, a being whose existence defies explanation through modern science, seriously discussing the conservation of energy with Lu Xiaobu?

This scene had everyone’s mouths twitching!

Conservation of energy, huh?!

Then how did you Grandmasters surpass human limits?! Please explain with science!

”Xiaobu, look at Xiao Xiao!”

Just then, Lu’s father suddenly exclaimed.

Everyone immediately turned to look.

Only to see a green light emanating from Xiao Xiao’s body!

”What’s going on?!”

Everyone was stunned.

Even the old poison master couldn’t explain it.

But Lu Xiaobu had some guesses!

After all, when Li Jin was enhancing his Wood Attribute, he glowed green too.

Most likely, the so-called array made Xiao Xiao and the ancient tree some kind of life community.

Now that the ancient tree sprouted, it feedback a part of it to Xiao Xiao.

”Don’t worry, it’s not a bad thing,” Lu Xiaobu reassured his father.

Now it’s time to deal with certain people’s issues!
