"Ten thousand copper-level spirit coins?" Lishui was the first to speak.
"Ten thousand copper-level spirit coins?" Amu was also startled.
"Granny, your flowers are too expensive!" Han Bingyi frowned.
Ten thousand copper-level spirit coins equaled one hundred thousand spirit stones. Forget buying flowers, it was enough to buy a high-level cultivation treasure. Flowers and plants in the cultivation world were considered rare items, and this granny's flowers were somewhat special, but a pot of so-called Soul-forgetting Worry-free Grass should cost only a few hundred spirit stones at most, or at most one thousand spirit stones.
Ten thousand copper-level spirit coins? Isn't this outright robbery?
"Uh? Granny, I didn't hear wrong! Ten thousand copper-level spirit coins, not spirit stones?" Amu smiled bitterly.
"Didn't hear wrong? Hehe, carrying spirit stones is too troublesome!" The white-haired granny laughed and then looked at Amu, saying, "Young man, these flowers aren't expensive. Don't worry, you won't regret it!"
At this moment, many people nearby gathered around. Flowers and plants worth ten thousand copper-level spirit coins were unheard of.
"What kind of flowers? Ten thousand copper-level spirit coins!"
"I don't know! Scary, the spirit stones in my pocket aren't enough to buy a pot of flowers!"
"Who would spend one hundred thousand spirit stones on a pot of flowers!"
"Young man, don't buy it! This granny has been selling for six days, and none of her flowers have been sold."
"Right! One hundred thousand spirit stones can buy a high-quality cultivation-grade flying sword! Don't buy this useless thing."
Many cultivators were discussing, and among them were some well-meaning people who warned Amu.
"Hehe! It's just a matter of finding the right buyer! My things are all valuable, this pot of Soul-forgetting Worry-free Grass isn't expensive at all!" The red-haired granny smiled at the onlookers. But this smile gave everyone the feeling of an old, cunning merchant.
"Thank you, Granny, we won't buy this flower!" Han Bingyi shook her head first. To be honest, one hundred thousand spirit stones wasn't a small amount, and Han Bingyi knew Amu definitely didn't have that much. Besides, spending ten thousand copper-level spirit coins on a pot of flowers was really not worth it. Even those flowers that could make even spirit realm cultivators wary, which could be refined into poison mist and combined with various techniques, didn't seem worth ten thousand copper-level spirit coins to Han Bingyi.
"Hmm?" Amu was also hesitant. This flower and this granny didn't seem to have anything special about them. Spending ten thousand copper-level spirit coins would make him a real fool.
"Let's go, Amu!" Lishui said beside him.
Hearing Lishui say this, Amu straightened his body and was about to leave.
"If Sister Han likes it, I'll buy this flower for you!" At this moment, a person suddenly walked out from the crowd. Dressed in purple robes, he was graceful and handsome, none other than Beihan Sect's Meilingfeng.
"Wow—" Upon hearing this, many cultivators were surprised.
"Someone really bought it! One hundred thousand spirit stones!"
"What do you know? This is called giving flowers to a beautiful lady. If one hundred thousand spirit stones can make a beautiful lady smile, it's worth it!"
"Beihan Sect people are indeed generous!"
"I heard that person is the first among the young generation of Beihan Sect, the son of the Southern Peak's head, Meilingfeng, a Void Spirit cultivator!"
"No wonder he could easily take out ten thousand copper-level spirit coins!"
Hearing this, Amu couldn't help but frown. Was Meilingfeng buying the flower to give to Han Bingyi a slap in his face?
Seeing it was Meilingfeng, Han Bingyi's eyebrows subtly furrowed, then she said indifferently, "Thank you, Senior Brother Mei, but I don't like this flower!"
"Hmm!" Meilingfeng's face showed a slight embarrassment, not expecting his good intentions to be rejected outright by Han Bingyi. The surrounding cultivators watching the spectacle were also stunned, it seemed this purple-robed beauty wasn't easy to win over!
"Hehe!" At this moment, the red-robed granny spoke again, "Business is here!"
Then she looked at Amu and said, "Young man, if you don't buy this flower, you might not have another chance. These three pots in the middle are all top-quality! Take another look!"
As she spoke, the red-robed granny gently brushed the three pots in the middle. One of them was the Soul-forgetting Worry-free Grass, while the other two were a half-black wood and an empty pot with only soil, presumably an ungerminated seed.
Just as the granny brushed the pots, Amu suddenly felt that strange sensation again, and the shadow of the magic coffin in his dantian trembled slightly.
"The pot with the black wood!" Amu finally determined where the sensation was coming from.
"Black wood that can resonate with the magic coffin's shadow? This granny is definitely not an ordinary person!" Amu's heart was in turmoil, but he couldn't discern the material of the black wood with his spirit sense.
"How about it? Add a little more spirit coins, buy one get two free!" The red-robed granny looked at Amu with a smile, as if everything about Amu was transparent to her.
"Granny, how many spirit coins for these three pots of flowers?" Amu decided to buy the three pots of flowers.
"Really want to buy? Granny will only charge you five thousand copper-level spirit coins! How about that?" The red-robed granny chuckled.
"Five thousand spirit coins? Wow—"
The entire spirit market almost exploded. Three pots of flowers? Five thousand spirit coins? This was a sky-high price! Five hundred thousand spirit stones, if lucky, could buy a low-grade spirit treasure of average quality.
Meilingfeng also raised an eyebrow at this moment. Was this red-robed granny crazy? Asking for such a high price, treating spirit coins like stones?
"Five thousand spirit coins, this is called buy one get two free?" Amu's mouth twitched, really feeling the pain. He even suspected the red-robed granny knew how many spirit coins he had, because apart from some loose spirit stones, Amu's Qiankun如意 Bracelet contained exactly five thousand copper-level spirit coins.
"Expensive, but worth it! Hehe! One pot for each of you, it's worth it!" The red-haired granny scanned Amu, Han Bingyi, and Lishui with a meaningful look.
"Junior Brother Amu, if you don't have enough spirit coins, I can lend you some, or I can buy it for you!" At this moment, Meilingfeng suddenly said, estimating that Amu's spirit coins were definitely not enough. Five thousand spirit coins were the entire fortune of a middle-stage cultivator.
"Uh?" Amu smiled and looked at Meilingfeng with a deep meaning, "Thank you, Senior Brother Mei, but it's not necessary! I can buy it! Granny, I'll take all three!"
Upon hearing this, Han Bingyi, Lishui, and all the surrounding cultivators changed their expressions.
Five thousand copper-level spirit coins, was this too much?
"Amu!" Han Bingyi said softly, "Soul-forgetting Worry-free Grass, it's fine not to buy it! My heart is worry-free!"
"Buy one get two free, to make Senior Sister smile, it's worth it! With this Worry-free Grass, it's like Amu being by your side every day, hehe!" Amu joked, making Han Bingyi's face turn slightly red, but she didn't say much.
Seeing this, Meilingfeng's eyes flashed with a hint of killing intent.
As he spoke, Amu took out a storage bag from his Qiankun如意 Bracelet. This was the storage bag left by the middle-stage cultivator who tried to assassinate him. Originally, it didn't have five thousand spirit coins, but Amu added the spirit coins given by Han Qianli to make up the total.
The three pots of flowers left Amu penniless.
"Amu, is this worth it?" Lishui frowned, still feeling it wasn't worth it. Even if he wanted to compete with Meilingfeng, it was completely unnecessary.
Before Amu could speak, the red-robed granny looked at Lishui and chuckled, "Worth it? Young man, do you know what seeds are in this pot?" As she spoke, the red-robed granny raised her hand, and the pot with only soil was held in her hand, trembling as if it might fall at any moment.
"Uh? What seeds? They don't seem worth five thousand spirit coins! Granny, this is too expensive!" Lishui said helplessly.
"Ah! Silly child, no wonder you've been a cultivation child for thirteen years!" The red-robed granny shook her head at Lishui and then slowly said, "The seeds in this pot are called—Eternal Sacred Lotus, One Thought Blossoms! They are rare treasures, beautiful flowers!"
"What? Eternal Sacred Lotus, One Thought Blossoms!" Upon hearing this, Lishui's mind was like a thunderclap, almost making him exclaim.
Lishui and Amu instantly exchanged glances, both reading the shock in each other's eyes. Everything was clear. This red-robed granny must be an absolute expert, on par with that mysterious black-robed elder.
After saying this, the red-robed granny didn't bother to say more to Amu and Lishui, directly taking Amu's storage bag and putting it away without looking.
"A pile of broken stones!" The red-robed granny muttered, as if she had suffered a loss.
The surrounding cultivators were stunned. Beihan Sect was really rich!
A cultivation child, spending five thousand spirit coins on three pots of random flowers. Eternal Sacred Lotus, One Thought Blossoms, just because the name sounds good, buy high-grade!
Even many merchants started thinking about how to give their items a powerful name to fleece a Beihan Sect fat sheep on the last day.
At this moment, the red-robed granny handed the three pots of flowers to Lishui, Amu, and Han Bingyi.
"Take good care of them! Water them with cultivation energy, they are all good flowers!" The red-robed granny stood up shakily, "Ah! Time to pack up, time to pack up!"
As she spoke, she waved her hand, and a small spell gathered all the flowers on the ground.
"Granny, are your other flowers for sale?" At this moment, Meilingfeng asked.
"Hehe, not for sale, this year's spirit market is over!" The red-robed granny shook her head and then gave Meilingfeng a strange smile, "Young man, your heart must be pure! Look at my red robe, doesn't it look like it's stained with blood?"
Upon hearing this, Meilingfeng's expression changed drastically, his face turning as pale as paper, and a trace of blood seemed to seep from the corner of his mouth.
"Hehe! Granny is leaving!" She said, standing up and leaning on a cane. The surrounding cultivators involuntarily parted, and the red-robed granny disappeared from the spirit market, shakily.
"Red robe like blood, white hair like frost; Thousand Flower Granny, roaming the sea and wilderness! Young man, I just wanted to form a cause and effect with you, may you not lose or forget!" This was the voice the red-robed granny transmitted to Amu after disappearing.
