BTTH: DISCIPLE CASHBACK SYSTEM

Chapter 159: Shadow Poisonous Insect Eggs, Song of the Wind!

"Twenty strands of sixth-grade spirit herbs!"

Upon hearing Gu He's words, Hai Bo Dong couldn't help but stand up, annoyed, and said, "Gu He, you're asking for a lot!"

"Why, Elder Hai?"

Anticipating Hai Bo Dong's anger, Gu He remained expressionless and said immediately, "As long as Elder Hai can swallow a Longevity Bead, you can extend your lifespan by two hundred years."

"Exchanging twenty strands of sixth-grade spirit herbs for two hundred years of life, no matter how you look at it, this seems like a very profitable deal. Elder Hai, you won't fail to see the benefits, will you?" Gu He looked at Hai Bo Dong with a sly smile, a hint of mockery playing on his lips.

He was fully confident that the other party would agree to his request.

Two hundred years of life were crucial for someone like Hai Bo Dong, who was on the verge of breaking through to the Dou Zong realm. The only thing they lacked was enough time.

With these two hundred years, it was more than enough.

Upon hearing this, Hai Bo Dong fell silent.

As Gu He had mentioned, the temptation of the Longevity Bead was too great for Hai Bo Dong. Even though he hadn't seen the Longevity Bead in Gu He's hands yet, Hai Bo Dong was still willing to take the risk.

After a moment of hesitation, Hai Bo Dong finally gave in.

"Alright, I agree. Twenty strands of sixth-grade spirit herbs for one Longevity Bead. However, when you collect ten strands of sixth-grade spirit herbs, I want to see the Longevity Bead with my own eyes. Otherwise, this deal is off."

At the end of his statement, Hai Bo Dong's tone became extremely firm.

Clearly, this was his bottom line.

The meaning was evident.

Before seeing the Longevity Bead with his own eyes, he wasn't willing to risk everything to fulfill Gu He's request.

"Good!"

Without much hesitation about Hai Bo Dong's request, Gu He directly agreed.

Cai'er could condense a green bead every day. While this was extremely precious to others, Gu He didn't attach much importance to it. He even thought that he might give Hai Bo Dong a little taste to motivate him further in collecting sixth-grade spirit herbs.

Gu He's quick agreement alleviated many of Hai Bo Dong's concerns.

He believed in Gu He's mention of the Longevity Bead.

"Tengshan, come in!"

After that, Hai Bo Dong shouted outside the VIP room.

As the voice fell, Miteer Tengshan slowly entered the VIP room, respectfully looking at Hai Bo Dong and slowly saying, "Elder Hai, what are your orders?"

Hai Bo Dong's indifferent gaze fell on Miteer Tengshan, slowly saying, "Within the family, how many sixth-grade spirit herbs do we currently have?"

"Sixth-grade spirit herbs?"

Upon hearing this, Miteer Tengshan was slightly stunned, then quickly reacted, "Reporting to Elder Hai, there are currently seven strands of sixth-grade spirit herbs in the family, all planted in the family's medicinal garden."

The Miteer family had a medicinal garden where, over the years, they had diligently collected all the spirit herbs they could find.

This was the foundation of the Miteer family as one of the three major families in the imperial capital.

Even without acquiring auction items, the Miteer family could still achieve short-term self-sufficiency.

"Only seven strands?"

Upon hearing this, Hai Bo Dong felt a bit dissatisfied.

This was far from the twenty strands he needed.

Seemingly aware of Hai Bo Dong's dissatisfaction, Miteer Tengshan showed a bitter smile, hastily explaining, "Elder Hai, the Miteer family doesn't have a sixth-grade alchemist. Collecting too many sixth-grade spirit herbs won't be of much use. These seven strands are prepared for the next Heaven-grade auction."

Upon hearing this, Hai Bo Dong fell into silence, then waved his hand somewhat disappointedly, "Forget it, just these seven strands. Have someone deliver them now."

"In addition, I'm giving you a task. At any cost, acquire sixth-grade spirit herbs. The more, the better." Hai Bo Dong said indifferently.

"Acquire sixth-grade spirit herbs?"

Upon hearing this, Miteer Tengshan frowned. Each sixth-grade spirit herb was extremely precious, and acquiring a large quantity of them would strain the financial resources of the Miteer family. However, this was Hai Bo Dong's order, and though he was dissatisfied, he couldn't go against it. He nodded and said, "Yes, Elder Hai."

Miteer Tengshan couldn't help but glance at Gu He beside him. Clearly, Elder Hai's command had something to do with this alchemist, Gu He.

Hai Bo Dong then addressed Miteer Tengshan again, saying, "You may leave for now."

Respectfully, Miteer Tengshan replied, "Yes, Elder Hai."

After that, he prepared to leave the VIP room.

"Hold on."

At this moment, Gu He suddenly spoke up.

Miteer Tengshan stopped in his tracks, looking at Gu He with some confusion.

Gu He's gaze shifted to Miteer Tengshan, saying, "I've taken a liking to the Shadow Poisonous Insect Eggs and the Wind's Melody listed on the auction item list this time. As usual, Clan Chief Tengshan, state your price."

Upon hearing this, Miteer Tengshan furrowed his brows and politely declined, "Lord Alchemist, this doesn't conform to the rules of our auction house. If you're truly interested, you can wait for the auction day and bid on them then."

Unconcerned about Miteer Tengshan's refusal, Gu He turned his gaze to Hai Bo Dong and said casually, "Elder Hai, help me out, I need them urgently."

Hai Bo Dong, with a hint of confusion in his eyes, asked, "What do you need these for?"

"They have their uses, Elder Hai. You won't deny me this little favor, will you?" Gu He didn't explain further, just stared at Hai Bo Dong intently.

After a moment of silence, Hai Bo Dong looked at Miteer Tengshan and said indifferently, "Tengshan, get it for him."

Upon hearing this, Miteer Tengshan's mouth twitched slightly. He nodded faintly and said, "Yes, Elder Hai."

After that, Miteer Tengshan left the VIP room.

A moment later, he returned to the VIP room, holding a purple silk box in his right hand and a green sword in his left.

"Lord Alchemist, this is what you wanted."

Miteer Tengshan handed over the items to Gu He without any expression on his face, saying calmly.

Gu He knew there was dissatisfaction in his heart, but he didn't mind. He accepted the purple silk box and the green sword without a word.

Click!
Gu He opened the purple silk box and saw dozens of dark insect eggs inside. Gu He could sense a faint life force emanating from these eggs.

Then, Gu He looked at the green sword. Embedded with a fifth-grade wind attribute magic core, this sword was called the Wind's Melody, capable of amplifying wind attribute fighting energy and enhancing its power.

"Thanks!"

Gu He put the box and sword into his storage ring and nodded at Miteer Tengshan.

"Elder Hai, I'll take my leave now."

A moment later, after receiving the seven strands of sixth-grade spirit herbs, Gu He settled the accounts for the Shadow Poisonous Insect Eggs and the Wind's Melody. He then directly addressed Hai Bo Dong.

"I hope you won't forget our agreement."

Hai Bo Dong spoke with a serious tone.

Gu He smiled and said, "Elder Hai, rest assured. Please trust my integrity."
