I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts-Chapter 413 - 312: Making Money, Alchemy, Body Tempering Technique
"A qian a herb?"
"Why don’t you just steal it!"
The slave responsible for selling herbs looked stiff.
Han Zhan shrugged indifferently. "Besides me, who else do you think is willing to buy your contaminated herbs?"
Han Zhan had already observed before coming over that no one else but him was interested in these contaminated herbs.
No one is a fool; they know these herbs are useless.
The slave’s face turned even darker.
Because Han Zhan was absolutely right.
He gritted his teeth and finally nodded in agreement, "Fine, a qian a herb, but you must buy them all, not a single one less!"
"No problem." Han Zhan nodded nonchalantly.
A qian a piece, even buying everything at the stall just costs a few thousand qian.
After buying all these herbs, the slave at the stall happily packed up the money from selling the herbs and went back to report his success.
Han Zhan gained a large bundle of contaminated herbs, which seemed like a terrible deal.
At least in the eyes of the other vendors at the marketplace, it seemed so.
They looked at Han Zhan differently, seeing him transform from a slave of the alien race to a walking money bag.
You need to know, with evil spirits rampant, every household has quite a few contaminated herbs, just not as many as those put up for sale.
"Come over here and take a look, my herbs are cheap, only half a qian per piece."
"Here, here, half a qian for two pieces!"
"Look here, look at mine!"
The originally quiet marketplace became lively because of Han Zhan’s impulsive purchase.
Over there, Li Wu was still haggling with a few priests over their ideal prices.
Suddenly, one of the priests tugged his arm and motioned outside with his mouth.
"While you’re still here entangling for hundreds of qian, your slave has almost bought back all the contaminated herbs from everyone in the marketplace!"
His words made Li Wu’s heart skip a beat.
Then he looked up and saw Han Zhan carrying large bags, walking towards him!
"What are you doing..."
"Contaminated herbs." Han Zhan patted the heavy herbs on his shoulder, looking satisfied.
Li Wu only felt his vision go dark.
He still insisted, asking his last struggle: "All of them?"
"Yes!"
Li Wu stumbled and nearly fell, but was caught by Han Zhan.
"Why have you become so weak?"
"You!" Li Wu was about to scold Han Zhan, but suddenly remembered he wasn’t really his slave, and swallowed back his angry words.
"Just give me the money as we agreed." He lost the mood to continue bargaining, saying this with little interest, then handed the heart-of-the-High-Priest meat piece to the opposite priest.
The priest opposite handed him a bag of money with a smile.
Then the priests watched with interest as Li Wu and Han Zhan walked out of the market one after the other.
...
Back home,
seeing Han Zhan fill the ground with herbs, Li Wu was heartbroken.
"Do you know that these herbs are all contaminated by evil spirits?"
"Yes, I know."
"Do you know that the evil spirits integrate into the effective components of the herbs, so even the extracted herbs will have them, and no one can remove them?"
"The former I know, the latter," Han Zhan paused, "is not something no one can remove."
As soon as Han Zhan finished speaking, he suddenly extended his hand towards the contaminated herbs on the ground.
A stone radiating dazzling light gathered behind him, activating the Heaven’s Origin Power.
In Li Wu’s stunned and shocked gaze, thick black ink was slowly extracted from the contaminated herbs.
"You, you, you." Li Wu was so shocked that he could barely speak.
It’s not his fault.
Since his understanding of evil spirits, except for the white Holy Land created by the High Priest, nothing else could harm them.
Let alone extract these evil entities thoroughly integrated with effective components from the polluted herbs.
But, Han Zhan’s appearance broke this understanding.
He could genuinely extract the evil spirits from the herbs?!
Li Wu reacted quickly as well, rushing forward, picking up the purified herbs from the ground to examine them closely.
"Is the contamination inside gone?"
"Has the medicinal property been restored?"
"Am I not dreaming!"
He muttered to himself three times, pinched himself hard to confirm he was not dreaming.
After the initial confusion, immense joy followed, almost visibly expressed.
How much money did Han Zhan spend today?
A total of five thousand qian.
He bought so many contaminated herbs, if they were fresh without contamination, how much would they be worth?
At least a million qian!
Such an enormous number, a figure Li Wu had never seen since birth!
"Are you thinking again about selling herbs?"
At this time, Han Zhan, who was in the middle of purifying the herbs from evil contamination, spoke to Li Wu.
"I’ve talked with those herb-selling vendors, they told me that besides consuming flesh, the Jiuli Tribe has another way to enhance their strength, which is through consuming these natural treasures and herbs."
"Using herbs for body tempering can also strengthen the physique and enhance physical strength."
"Although true, few actually do so." Li Wu continued, "Because the herbs are just too...."
He initially wanted to say herbs were too expensive.
But halfway through, he suddenly saw that the entire room was filled with herbs and there still wasn’t enough space for storage, swallowing back his words forcibly.
"I can help you." Han Zhan continued.
In the Shennong Cauldron’s legacy, there is indeed a pill formula for Body Tempering Medicine.
It was just that he had been lacking a sufficient quantity of herbs to squander, and hadn’t performed such operations.
But now it was different.
In the Wilderness of Zhulu world, the availability of herbs was exponentially higher than on Blue Star, with the only flaw being contamination.
If such an impressive stock of herbs were fully gathered into one’s possession, it was exhilarating just to think about it.
"Or maybe not. We could sell the herbs for money that we can share..." Li Wu hesitated, but wanted to back out.
But Han Zhan refused unconditionally.
"There will always be herbs."
"In this world, the primary goal is survival, to stay alive, one must continually enhance their power."
"Compassion can exist, but one shouldn’t lose sight of the main objective."
Han Zhan’s words left Li Wu silent.
While Li Wu was silent, Han Zhan had already completed purifying the contaminated herbs, forming another piece of Ancient Divine Soldier.
Shennong Cauldron!
