Chapter 1254

"I wonder … what does Fellow Daoist Xiao want these seeds for?

Based on my experience, if they can't germinate within a hundred years, then they might not even germinate for another hundred years. They should be seeds that have already lost their vitality. "Jiang Fan asked.

"It's nothing much!"

Xiao Hua smiled. "Senior should know that I, Shang Huaming, only have one disciple, and that's me. Usually, I read books by myself. Unlike Hundred Herbs Gate, I don't have many medicinal fields and spiritual herbs, so I've learned too much. That's why I want to read more and learn more.

If it's inconvenient for Senior, then forget it … "

"Haha, so that's how it is!"

Jiang Fan clapped. "I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Xiao to like studying spiritual herbs. Although the disciples of Hundred Herbs Gate have better conditions than you, they don't care about studying spiritual herbs. They only like to cultivate. Once they reach the third layer of Qi Refining, they don't go to the medicinal field anymore. It's really … frustrating!

Since Fellow Daoist Xiao is so eager to learn, how can I not help you? "

Then he turned to the second layer disciple and said, "Go, take these seeds that should be disposed of. In addition, choose some spiritual herbs that aren't forbidden to be spread outside of Hundred Herbs Gate. Pick a few seeds and bring them over!"

Xiao Hua was overjoyed and smiled. "Thank you, Young Master. Actually, if those withered and damaged seeds are useless, it's also good for me to study them!"

Although Xiao Hua's words seemed a bit insatiable, it did not contradict his statement that he wanted to comprehend the Spirit Grass Ancient Records. Jiang Fan frowned slightly. Thinking about those dead seeds, even the Elders of Hundred Herbs Gate thought they were useless, what kind of waves could Xiao Hua Ming cause?

Therefore, he smiled, gave the disciple a look, and waved his hand to dismiss him.

The disciple understood that Jiang Fan's look meant he didn't need to take his words seriously. He only needed to take some of the seeds from Hundred Herbs Gate, or some of the damaged ones. As long as they had a little background, even if they couldn't germinate, they couldn't give them to Xiao Hua!

After the disciple left, Xiao Hua cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Young Master, for your help!"

"Hehe, you're welcome. It's just a seed that needs to be thrown away. There's no need to thank me!" Jiang Fan waved his hand.

Afterwards, Xiao Hua stood up, straightened his clothes, and bowed deeply to Jiang Fan, saying, "Junior's first priority in coming here is to thank Hundred Herbs Gate for remembering the alliance between our two sects and sending this important information to me, Shang Huaming!

This is the Sect Master's instruction before he left. Since I can't meet Sect Master Jiang, I hope that Young Sect Master can convey my gratitude to him! "

"Alright!"

Seeing this, Jiang Fan hurriedly got up and helped Xiao Hua up, "Shang Huaming and my Hundred Herbs Gate are already allies. If anything happens to Shang Huaming, my Hundred Herbs Gate will also be in danger. Helping Shang Huaming is helping my Hundred Herbs Gate. Sect Master Xiao is too polite!"

After saying that, he invited Xiao Hua to take a seat.

Xiao Hua cleared his throat and placed the jade bottle he had already prepared on the table. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Clan Leader Jiang. Next is the second matter that Sect Leader asked me to come over for!

Young master, please take a look at these jade bottles. "

"Oh?"

Jiang Fan was as genial as ever. With a wave of his hand, a jade bottle fell into his hand. When he opened it, his face revealed extreme confusion. He looked up at Xiao Hua and said, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, this … what is the meaning of absorption fruit?"

Seeing that Jiang Fan's expression was as usual and not as surprised as he had expected, Xiao Hua knew this was bad. He was afraid that the absorption fruit wasn't that precious in the other party's eyes. Seeing Jiang Fan ask, he could only brace himself and put on a smiling face, saying, "Senior, what do you think of this absorption fruit …?"

"It's alright!"

Jiang Fan didn't understand. He casually picked up the other bottles and looked at them one by one, nodding slightly. "These absorption fruits are nearly thirty years old. They're barely useful and can be used to refine the Peiyuan Pill.

I wonder what Fellow Daoist Xiao wants to do with these absorption fruits … "

"It's like this. My Sect Master asked this junior to bring these Absorption Fruits. He wants to use these Absorption Fruits to exchange for some Black Tusk Grass from Hundred Herbs Gate. I wonder … what does senior think?" Xiao Hua replied weakly.

"This …" As soon as Jiang Fan heard the words "Black Tuber Grass", he understood. A trace of embarrassment immediately appeared on his face. He said, "Normally, it's possible to exchange absorption fruits for Black Tuber Grass. Even if Fellow Daoist Xiao doesn't come to my Hundred Herbs Gate, you can still do it in Yi City. Unfortunately …"

Xiao Hua was shocked and blurted out, "Unfortunately what?"

"Ai, it's nothing. I'm sure Fellow Daoist Xiao knows that I went to Yi City a few days ago and met your sect's senior martial brother there.

Most of my Hundred Herbs Gate's Black Tuber Grass was exchanged for spirit stones or spirit herbs with other Fellow Daoists at Yi City … "

"Most?" Xiao Hua said anxiously, "What about the rest?"

"The rest is naturally for my Hundred Herbs Gate to refine pills!" Jiang Fan said awkwardly.

"Ah???" Xiao Hua's face was full of anxiety. Not only him, but even Xiao Yuehong probably didn't think of this!

"Heh heh, actually … Fellow Daoist Xiao, your sect just wants a few Peiyuan Pills to help your sect's senior martial brothers and Fairy Xiao increase their strength. If that's the case, I earnestly request my Gate Master to gift your sect a few Peiyuan Pills. Why go through so much trouble?" Jiang Fan's face was full of smiles, as if he were Shang Huaming's savior!

Xiao Hua's face was full of joy at first. He wanted to nod, but then he realized, "This guy … wants to curry favor with Shang Huaming. Hmm, that's not all.

If I, Shang Huaming, can't refine enough Peiyuan Pills, not only will my senior martial brothers' cultivation not be improved, I'm afraid they'll still be suppressed by Hundred Herbs Gate.

Besides, a few Peiyuan Pills … may be enough for my senior martial brothers, but what about mine?

I'm afraid I'll have to draw water with a bamboo basket! "

After thinking about it, Xiao Hua's face showed that he was in a difficult position. He cupped his hands and said, "Senior, I appreciate your kindness, and I thank you on behalf of my Gate Master.

However, Gate Master has already made it clear that if I, Shang Huaming, ask for a few Peiyuan Pills, Hundred Herbs Gate will definitely agree to it for the sake of the alliance between our two sects. However, this will make my Shang Huaming look like a small sect. We've just formed an alliance with Hundred Herbs Gate, so it's really inappropriate to take advantage of them.

Secondly, the alliance between our two sects will naturally be frequent in the future. As the saying goes, even blood brothers have to settle accounts clearly. If there's any deal in the future, it's hard to say.

Therefore, I ask Hundred Herbs Gate to give me a suitable exchange according to the customs of Yi City! "

"So it's like that ~" Jiang Fan said with a smile, "Our two sects have already formed an alliance. I didn't expect Gate Master Xiao to still be so … polite!"

Then he frowned, "But … my Hundred Herbs Gate's Black Tusk Grass … is really very little!!"

He stood up and paced back and forth in the reception hall several times. He sighed and gritted his teeth, "Forget it. Since Gate Master Xiao wants it, I'll give it to Shang Huaming first, even if my Hundred Herbs Gate's Peiyuan Pill can't be refined!"

Xiao Hua smiled and cupped his hands, saying, "Many thanks!

Junior will definitely report Young Gate Master's kindness to my Gate Master! "

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me, Fellow Daoist Xiao …" Jiang Fan hurriedly stopped him. He patted the storage bag at his waist and took out a Sound-Transmitting Talisman. He said a few words in it, and with a burst of transcendence energy, the Sound-Transmitting Talisman flew out of the reception hall.

Seeing Xiao Hua's strange expression, Jiang Fan explained, "I won't hide it from Fellow Daoist Xiao. My Hundred Herbs Gate has been refining the Peiyuan Pill for the past few days. I don't know how much Black Tusk Grass is left!"

Xiao Hua's heart suddenly became tense.

A moment later, a crimson light flew over and stopped in front of Jiang Fan. Jiang Fan didn't avoid Xiao Hua. He grabbed it and squeezed it. A slightly old voice sounded, "Reporting to Young Gate Master, there are only ten Black Tusk Grass left. According to your wishes, we have stopped refining the Peiyuan Pill. This old man has already sent someone to deliver the Black Tusk Grass to you!"

"Ten?" Xiao Hua frowned. He wasn't sure if these ten Black Tusk Grass were enough for Xiao Yuehong.

"Ah, as expected!"

Jiang Fan spread his hands and shook his head, saying, "It's still too late, Fellow Daoist Xiao. These remaining ten Black Tusk Grass aren't enough to exchange for your Gate Master's Absorption Fruits!"

Xiao Hua was very disappointed, but what could he do?

He could only say, "Let's take what we have. It's better than having none!"

"How about this, Fellow Daoist Xiao. These Black Tusk Grass are a gift from my Hundred Herbs Gate to Shang Huaming. My Hundred Herbs Gate won't accept these Absorption Fruits!" Jiang Fan narrowed his eyes and said with a smile.

"No, Senior should take the Absorption Fruits that are suitable. Since my Gate Master has given the order, Senior shouldn't make things difficult for Junior!" Xiao Hua shook his head and refused.

"Alright, since Gate Master Xiao has given the order, I won't be polite!" Jiang Fan picked up two of the jade bottles and put them in his storage pouch.

At this moment, the Second Layer Qi Refining disciple who went out just now returned with a small storage pouch in his hand. He took out several jade boxes and placed them in front of Jiang Fan, saying, "These are the Black Tusk Grass that Elder Lan ordered this disciple to bring."

Then, he took out two small pouches from his storage pouch and handed them forward, saying, "Young Gate Master ordered this disciple to take these. One contains the dried seeds and the seeds that haven't sprouted yet, and the other contains the damaged seeds!"

"En, give these two pouches to Fellow Daoist Xiao!" Jiang Fan didn't check them and ordered the disciple.

Xiao Hua took the two small pouches and opened them to take a look. Sure enough, one of the pouches contained some abnormally dried seeds that were covered in dust and dirt. The other pouch was full of damaged seeds.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, here are ten stalks of Black Tusk Grass, please check them!" Jiang Fan waved his hand and several jade boxes flew to the table in front of Xiao Hua.

Xiao Hua put down the two pouches and opened one of the jade boxes. Inside the jade box were two stalks of Black Tusk Grass that were about a foot long and had long sword-shaped leaves. The edges of the leaves were deeply serrated and there were fine red and black lines all over the leaves.

"En, that's right. Thank you, Young Gate Master!" Xiao Hua looked at the other jade boxes and found that they were all full grown Black Tusk Grass. He smiled and said to Jiang Fan.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, please take the remaining Absorption Fruits back!" Jiang Fan was about to wave his hand when Xiao Hua's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said, "Wait a moment …"
