第三千四百一十章 九灵仙芝

"Miss, you make a valid point. I would know about these things; before this, I had already inventoried the treasure vault, and indeed, most of the raw materials are sufficient."

Little Tao's sigh entered my ears as expected. As Moon said, though the girl was sharp-tongued, she did get things done.

"However, there are a few main ingredients that the treasure vault lacks."

"How can that matter? If we don't have them, can't we find more?" Moon said indifferently. She was willing to go through extra trouble for her lord.

"Miss, you're thinking too simply," Little Tao's expression showed helplessness: "The Upper Yuan Snowfall Pill is a divine object originally. Many of its ingredients are hard to come by even if one traverses the three realms. Fortunately, we have some in our treasure vault."

"But among the few missing ingredients, it's fine for most, but there's one that is truly a divine object, extremely rare even in ancient times. It simply doesn't exist anymore."

"Oh, what is it?"

Lin Xuan's face showed interest. This matter was originally related to him; he couldn't help paying attention.

"Nine Spirit Ginseng, have you heard of this? It's an actual divine treasure. Even before your rebirth, obtaining such a thing would be difficult. Now, there's no chance at all…" Little Tao sighed.

"What are you talking about? What is the name of that treasure?" Before Moon could speak, Lin Xuan's voice sounded urgent as he asked in surprise.

"Nine Spirit Ginseng, haven't you heard of it before?"

Little Tao said unkindly. Afraid Miss would get angry, she had to agree not to oppose this guy, but she wouldn't give him a good face; the hint of disdain was obvious.

"Huh. Not only have I heard of it, just a measly Nine Spirit Ginseng. Do you think Lin can't produce such a treasure?"

Lin Xuan said arrogantly, though he wasn't usually one to show off. Little Tao's expression annoyed him so much that he couldn't hide his talent.

"Ha. Even if you have it, it’s for your own healing; I gain nothing from it. Why should I bet with you?" Little Tao rolled her eyes and smirked.

Lin Xuan almost spat out a mouthful of blood. The fish wasn’t biting at the right moment. This girl was too cunning.

She didn't even bother with his baiting.

Lin Xuan's face showed frustration. He had rarely met defeat since starting on his cultivation path, but he kept getting the worst of it from Little Tao. Was this really karma?

Wait, what was he thinking? He was a good guy; it must be Little Tao who was tricky and strange.

Shaking his head, Lin Xuan felt like he might go mad with frustration.

But he didn't need to argue further with Little Tao. He waved his sleeve, and a piece of treasure materialized from the storage bag. It was a wooden box about a foot long.

The surface wasn’t eye-catching, but the lid bore two禁制符箓—one gold and one silver—both designed to prevent essence energy leakage.

"What is this?"

Little Tao's eyes narrowed; even these talismans were valuable.

Moon’s expression was also attentive. Unlike Little Tao's skepticism, she trusted Lin Xuan unconditionally.

Lin Xuan didn't say much. He raised his right hand and pointed forward with a finger. No extra movements or light showed as the two golden-silver talismans were peeled off by an invisible hand.

A "thud" sound echoed in my ears; the lid was open.

The fragrance permeated, refreshing the senses. Then Lin Xuan saw the aura of treasure.

This aura differed from that released by先天灵宝; it was a grade-high spirit herb, considered divine treasures, only released when matured.

"It’s really true!"

Little Tao's face showed relief. Thankfully, she had been smart enough not to bet with this guy, or she would have fallen into his carefully laid trap.

Though the contents of the box were still unclear, the rich aura indicated its grade—absolutely a divine treasure.

Thoughts raced in Little Tao’s mind as her gaze shifted to Lin Xuan's treasure. The misty aura gradually dispersed, revealing something that looked like a ginseng.

Its surface was golden, with faint gold runes glowing, and the fragrance alone made one feel refreshed; it was undoubtedly a divine treasure.

Lin Xuan's eyes flickered. Suddenly, he waved his sleeve again, sending out a greenish霞light to envelop an area of several feet in radius, setting up a protective barrier. This way, the pleasant scent and aura wouldn't spread, preventing essence energy leakage. Since it was a divine treasure, any waste was unacceptable.

"Stupid... Lord, where did you get this treasure?"

Little Tao's eyes were filled with surprise. Though Lin Xuan had claimed to have Nine Spirit Ginseng, actually producing one was too unexpected.

However, her words made Lin Xuan cough blood.

She seemed to want to call him a fool but changed to "Lord." Combined, it sounded like "stupid lord."

Whether he was a fool or lord, such a nickname was utterly frustrating.
