Precious Herb With Cool History?; Trickery With Bu Cai.

(Bu Cai POV)

Arriving at the marketplace that is as lively as always, I instantly begin to scavenge the place...

I look at the Shops and Stalls with ancient or older items, so that I can try to snatch a great deal, and to use the system to it's greatest value.

And sadly... there was nothing of use to me.

Although I did find some great herbs for, building a foundation or help with cultivation in Body Refining Stage; They weren't useful for me, who was at Qi Condensation.

I looked at the weapons and spirit tools as well, however it was a bust.

After hours of looking, I realised that I'll truly need to fork over big bucks if I wanted to get useful items and herbs for my level...

But just when I was about to completely give up, Hope came when I least expected in the form of a glorious herb,

==============================================

{Identify}

[Material: Hazy Emerald Grass]

[Rank: B]

[Extra Information:

A very Common herb from back in the Era of Eternal Bloom, This herb has the useful effect of helping with absorbing Qi whilst cultivating, for a few hours, as well as cleanses some impurities within the Dantian.

This Type of grass is a close relative to the Emerald Grass That Was the Ancient Emperor Of Purity's Favourite Herb.

He loved it so much in fact, that he cultivated a stalk of it in Heavenly Soil and Dense spirit Qi For Millions Of Years, which it then turned into a Stalk Of Genesis Grass (One of the ingredients for the Elixir of immortality) through an incredibly fortunate mutation.

Emerald Grass Was Also Said to be an alchemist's go-to herb, as it is the staple of most ancient pill recipes due to it's simple and concise properties of Purifying.

This particular down-grade combined with it's poor condition, Is only effective for those Under Martial Lord unless made into a pill.]

===================================================

JACKPOT

GIMME THAT SHIT!

I learned from my previous mistake with Long Tian, and hastily grabbed the herb from the table without fucking around.

Only afterwards do I look up to the Seller for price negotiations (More like scam the living fuck out of them).

As I look up, I see someone very unexpected...

Dai Huo?!

This is a bit annoying, But it's fine...

HEHEHEHEHE

Can't wait to piss him off even more.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Dai Huo POV)

...

I sit at my stall, awaiting any customers whilst thinking about,

My Dark Past...

The slimy bastard who had used his underhanded means of, playing the Pig to eat the Tiger...

The Devious Devil who humiliated me to everyone when I was about to soar to the Sky...

BU CAI!

I will DEFINITELY regain my lost honor.

Not only had he embarrassed me in front of My Elders and Peers In my Glorious sect, He even made me lose face in front of Xue'er!

UNFORGIVABLE!

I remember waking up and seeing her eyes look down at me with pity, as I was lying down unable to move and my heart wrenched in despair.

...

Just thinking about it makes me feel awful...

...You best hope you don't meet me in the tournament, or I will definitely show you my unparalleled might as the Future Godking!

...

Thinking of Xue'er I wonder how she I-

...

My herb has been snatched?

WHICH FUCKER THINKS THEY CAN GRAB THIS SON OF HEAVEN'S HERB WITHOUT MY PERMISSION!

I fully snap out of my thoughts, and stare at the perpetrator,

...

Hmmmm... He looks quite familiar...

Long and tidy Black hair which has a shimmer to it.

Robes that are Whiter than white.

Black Eyes that are like the abyss...

And an annoyingly handsome face.

...!

"BU CAI, HOW DARE YOU ACT SO PRESUMPTUOUS. DO YOU REALLY THINK I AM SOMEONE YOU CAN BULLY!"

...

No Answer?

And this fucker thinks he can look around as if I don't know it's him?

...

I finally hear a response from him, however it isn't what I expected...

"Hello fellow daoist, I know that you may be having a bad day, however I would like to buy this herb from you and want to inquire about a price."

I say back instantly,

"Is this a joke to you, Bu Cai?! YOU BASTARD!"

...

Wait... maybe he truly isn't...

"Fellow Daoist, I'm sorry for making you think of unpleasant people, however, My name is not Bu Cai. Rather it is Chen Cai, so I beg you to lower your tone and act with some decency!"

Uhhhh... Shit... I can't believe I mistook someone so polite as That rude bastard Bu Cai...

I reply hastily with an apologetic tone,

"I apologise Daoist Chen, You just looked similar to a sworn enemy of mine, hence I acted irrational, please forgive me.

"And yes, That herb is something I had recently found and don't know much about it, however it gives of spirit fluctuations of a low-earth grade, therefore I will sell it for Market price of 5000 Gold, Or treasures if equal value."

Although I felt bad for yelling at him, I still high-balled the price so that I could try and get the most out of this deal.

Originally I was going to gift this to Bro Long, but I haven't seen him in a years, So i decided to try and sell it.

Expecting to go into a negotiation over the price, I await for his counter-offer...

But I see a bag on the table filled with gold.

I instantly check with my spiritual sense, and It turned out to be 5000 on the dot!

I look at his receding figure, and I am once again reminded of Bu Cai...

How strange.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Bu Cai POV)

FUCK YES!

He truly is a dumb bastard!

I can't believe he instantly cowered away from his suspicions, just because I told him off and acted with confidence!

I thought he would at least try to look into it deeper, But it seems I was just being overly cautious...

But in the end, What would a spoiled heir to a large force know about trickery?

Just goes to show that my experiences over the years aren't wasted.

Anyways, I get back home and Stick the herb into my 3rd spirit ring (Got multiple, Just in case) and go for a bath.

Then I go to bed in preparation for Tomorrow...

She said she looks forward for a Date Huh?

Well then don't worry, I'll let you have the best date of your life!

My dear 'Sister'...
