"Are you sure that just this combination will be enough?"
Xiaobei suddenly met Wang Yi's ashen face with his gaze.
"Senior, if you allow, I can take out the ancient prescription and the inner core of the dragon-like beast for you to see, would that be alright?" Wang Yi immediately responded to Xiaobei.
Only then did Xiaobei nod.
Xiaobei had great hopes for this medicinal cocoon.
The herb guarded by the tiger-like beast, which was of the Imperial Rank, should logically have a significant effect on enhancing the tiger-like beast's cultivation. Otherwise, the tiger-like beast wouldn't have been so responsible in guarding it.
And the three Sky-Swallowing Pythons and the two beasts with only one eye on their faces that arrived later would not have fought so desperately to obtain this herb.
If it was so valuable to beasts of the same strength, it was reasonable to assume that it would be equally beneficial to himself.
If this medicinal cocoon was indeed called "Heavenly Spirit Flower," then he needed to know how to maximize its use to enhance his own strength.
Perhaps, with this "Heavenly Spirit Flower," he could directly break through the bottleneck of the current Imperial Rank martial artist!
With this thought, Xiaobei naturally had to be extremely cautious about everything related to the "Heavenly Spirit Flower," and he had to keep a close eye on Wang Yi.
One should not have the heart to harm others, but one must always be on guard.
Xiaobei did not trust those who were not trustworthy!
This was a principle of Xiaobei's, and it also reflected his cautious nature!
To prevent any unexpected situations, Xiaobei followed Wang Yi directly as they moved forward.
The old man Wang Yi turned his head, wanting to say something. After all, the place he was going to was the third floor of "Ten Thousand Fragrances Hall," which contained many rare herbs, formed pills, and inner cores of beasts, as well as other treasures.
However, thinking of the strength of the masked person behind him, Wang Yi's face showed a bitter smile, and he sighed inwardly. For someone of this level, if they had the intention to rob this "Ten Thousand Fragrances Hall," it would be as easy as turning over one's hand. He was overthinking it... Suppressing his expression, Wang Yi stepped onto the wooden stairs leading to the third floor.
Xiaobei followed closely behind him.
The third floor of "Ten Thousand Fragrances Hall" was decorated much more luxuriously than the second floor.
If the second floor was a higher-grade floor for selling herbs compared to the first floor, then the third floor could be considered a collection cabinet. It didn't look like a floor for selling pills, but rather a storage room for receiving pills and other treasures.
The entire third floor was divided into several specialized areas based on pills, inner cores of beasts, and precious herbs.
In each area, only a small portion of these items was displayed in specially crafted cabinets, but Xiaobei glanced and found that this small portion far exceeded the majority displayed downstairs.
Without mentioning anything else, just the inner cores of beasts, when Xiaobei's martial aura swept out and penetrated the special cabinet's protective membrane, he could feel that each inner core was from a beast of the Innate Realm.
"Senior, this is it."
Just as Xiaobei's gaze passed over a golden ginseng, the old man Wang Yi turned around in front of him.
Immediately, Wang Yi carefully opened a wooden box in front of him. Inside the box, a white porcelain bottle was wrapped in golden silk, and next to the bottle was an old, yellowed piece of paper.
The yellow paper was about half the size of a normal book page.
However, Xiaobei saw that it was densely covered with characters, all in traditional Chinese.
"Senior, please take a look..." With a respectful demeanor, the old man Wang Yi bowed slightly and handed the paper to Xiaobei.
Xiaobei silently took the paper, first feeling the historical aura it emitted to confirm it was an ancient document, then he carefully read it and memorized its contents: "Heavenly Spirit Flower, yin, cool, requires yang to balance... such as the inner core of a high-level dragon, or the inner core of a fire spirit beast, or the fruit of a fire element fruit... after balancing, the martial artist's cultivation will improve, with no limit based on talent..."
Following that were descriptions of a few other top-grade herbs, about seven or eight in total.
It was clear that these herbs, like the "Heavenly Spirit Flower," were all top-grade herbs, so Xiaobei memorized them all deeply in his mind.
After all, one never knew when an opportunity might arise.
After memorizing everything, Xiaobei felt relieved.
If this paper was not a forgery, then according to its description... Xiaobei could confirm that the "Heavenly Spirit Flower" had the power to enhance his martial cultivation!
It might even help him break through the Imperial Rank!
This Wang Yi, the so-called head of "Ten Thousand Fragrances Hall," had not deceived him.
Returning the paper to Wang Yi, whose body was slightly tense, Xiaobei smiled slightly, "You have done well and have not deceived me, so..."
With a sharp gaze, Xiaobei continued, "So, you don't need to worry that I will kill you as a sacrifice."
After saying this, Xiaobei noticed that Wang Yi's tension did not ease at all.
Xiaobei knew that just these two sentences were not enough for Wang Yi to lower his guard. The martial aura he emitted was too strong, and Wang Yi's caution was justified.
Shaking his head, Xiaobei said, "If I wanted to kill you, do you think you could escape?"
After saying this, Xiaobei glanced at the porcelain bottle in the wooden box, apart from the yellowed paper, and released his martial aura to sense it.
"Hmm?"
Xiaobei couldn't help but let out a light exclamation.
Because, he could not sense what was inside the porcelain bottle with his martial aura!
On the other side, Wang Yi, upon hearing Xiaobei's exclamation, raised his head and saw Xiaobei's gaze fixed on the porcelain bottle.
Oh no!
This thought flashed through the old man Wang Yi's mind, but his wrinkled face could only show a bitter smile amidst his pale shock.
Because, when he decided to take out this yellow paper as evidence to make the masked senior believe him, he had already made a decision.
He would give another treasure to this senior! He believed that with these treasures, this senior would not make things difficult for him and his people.
Otherwise, no one could predict whether this senior, who seemed to be quite amiable, would suddenly lose his temper and torment them.
The old man Wang Yi said with a bitter smile, "Senior, inside this porcelain bottle is another fruit of the 'Heavenly Spirit Flower,' a medicinal cocoon, which I originally intended to give you as well."
Xiaobei, of course, could tell that Wang Yi was not being entirely sincere.
However, when it came to his cultivation, it was not a time to be concerned about selfishness. How could Xiaobei let go of the opportunity to obtain another "Heavenly Spirit Flower" fruit?
After some thought, Xiaobei nodded, "I am not the kind of person who bullies the weak. Here's what I'll do: I will take this 'Heavenly Spirit Flower' fruit, and you can also give me the dragon's inner core you mentioned earlier..."
Before he finished speaking, Wang Yi's face turned even paler! He felt like spitting blood, thinking, "Senior, if this isn't bullying the weak, then what is? Compared to your words and actions now, no one in the world is more guilty of bullying the weak than you!"
