Chapter 562: Stealing

In the third area of the Palace of the Cosmic Market, Lin Feng could sense a rich and dense fragrance of herbs at the entrance. Some fragrances were pleasant while others were a bit too thick for him. 

Of course, pills and herbs which smelt better than others were not necessarily better than the others. There were endless varieties of pills and herbs, no doctor or alchemist pretended to know all the remedies of the world.

Lin Feng walked into the depths of the third area, the medicine department was much wider than that of the fourth area but it was also quieter and calmer. People were calmly walking around and exploring, looking for the herbs and remedies they needed. Some people were negotiating in a low voice.

“Sanguine soul gra.s.s is red and has the Qi of a soul, maybe.” Thought Lin Feng. He continued walking while looking at the different stands. Sellers were staring at Lin Feng as he pa.s.sed by. Finally, Lin Feng suddenly looked surprised.

“I found it…” Lin Feng clenched his fists, in his field of vision appeared a red gra.s.s which looked like blood and seemed to have its own life, it contained some soul Qi. 

The seller was an old man, there was a small bamboo basket in front of him. The old man looked dispirited and tired. On his stand, there was only one speck of sanguine soul gra.s.s, nothing else, therefore, he was probably desperate because he hadn’t found a buyer until that moment, Lin Feng clearly understood that.

“Pfewww……” Lin Feng took a deep breath and tried to look calm and relaxed, if the seller noticed that Lin Feng was too interested, he would certainly propose a very high price directly at the beginning which Lin Feng wouldn’t accept.

Lin Feng had used almost all the purity stones from Mount Sword back then. However, he did not plan on acting more arrogant because of it, that would be impolite.

“Mister, what do you want in exchange for that sanguine soul gra.s.s?” asked Lin Feng politely. The old man glanced at Lin Feng, smiled and suddenly looked interested. 

“What do you want to do with it?” asked the old man without answering Lin Feng.

“My friend needs it and coincidentally you have it. I can give my friend a hand.” said Lin Feng naturally trying to show that he wasn’t that interested. Of course, he wasn’t going to tell the old man that he wanted to concoct some divine water pills, Lin Feng understood the laws of business.

“Oh.” giggled the old man while looking at Lin Feng. Then he said, “Well then, tell your friend to come in person, that sanguine soul gra.s.s is very expensive, it’s not worth for you to buy it for your friend. Your friend might not believe you when you tell them the price you paid for the gra.s.s and will refuse to pay you back for it.”

Lin Feng was stupefied, as expected, that old man was sagacious and was a good seller, how smart… 

“It doesn’t matter, it is a very good friend of mine. I can give them that gra.s.s. Tell me the price please.” said Lin Feng indifferently.

“Oh.” Replied the old man in a low voice while looking at Lin Feng, he then showed him five fingers, he had a deep and meaningful expression in his eyes.

“Five hundred purity stones of higher quality?”

“Do you think that it’s possible?” asked the old man with a smile yet not a smile on his face.
