The astronomical price only made Lin Xiao dizzy when he heard it. He looked at Sui Wenyan and realized that she looked like she had already gotten used to it. It seemed that for those powerful people, these numbers meant nothing.

"I'm going to buy a lot of herbs after this," Wenren Yu informed Lin Xiao. "Do you have any request?"

"Medicine bath that can improve one's strength?"

Wenren Yu's lips twitched. For many powerful young master, they would also try to seek the shortcut. Medicine bath was one of them and certainly known to be the method that was commonly used by so many people. As for the reason why they used it…

It was because they could grow stronger instantly.

However, the less risky method wouldn't be that effective and usually left some residue in human bodies. As for those with high risk, it would grant the human's body so much pain that they would wish they were dead.

"Which one do you want?"

"The one that can grant the most strength, of course." Lin Xiao had set his eyes to the highest stage of cultivation, so he wanted to be able to get strength as much as possible at the highest speed possible. If by having medicinal bath it would help him, he didn't mind to torture himself in the slightest bit.

It was worth it in his opinion.

"I know one recipe that can grant you great strength. However, you have to be ready to bear with the pain because the pain might make you want to kill yourself," Wenren Yu warned.

"It's fine."

The thought of what he had experienced back then made Lin Xiao shook his head. At that time, he was hurt so terribly that he wished for nothing more than having the pain disappear.

Closing his eyes, Lin Xiao faintly recalled that moment. 

He felt as if his entire body was ruptured to pieces. His bones were crushed, his flesh were torn, and his organs were squeezed. It was so painful. And the most painful of all was his brain because he felt as if there was huge pressure in his head.

At this moment, Lin Xiao was cursing out loudly internally. He wished that the pain could disappear.

His body shuddered at the thought. After experiencing that excoriating pain, what should he be afraid of? There was no way the medicine could recreate pain as painful as they were, right?

Wenren Yu noticed the determination in Lin Xiao's eyes and sighed. "I'll prepare it for you. However, it'll take some time."

"At most 2 months' time."

"Yes, Master."

They finally stopped talking when the woman at the stage explained that the auction was over. Those who had bought something should come to the back to retrieve their items but for those who buy the first 10 items, the items would be delivered directly.

A servant appeared not far from Lin Xiao and bowed down. "Mister Xiao, please follow us to retrieve your items."

"Alright."

Even though Lin Xiao's item was amongst the first 10, he needed to take the money he received from the sale. Since that was the case, he would need to go to the back and retrieved the spirit stones too. The auction house was smart enough to not reveal that.

Some people who looked at Lin Xiao knew that he would be taking the plant. Probably because the plant required special care that they asked him to go there instead of bringing it out to him.

"Let's go."

Leading the three people behind him, Lin Xiao headed to the back. The servant immediately brought him to a private room and a man appeared from behind the door. Lin Xiao recognized him as Zhongsun Shan who conducted business with him not long ago in the auction house.

"Welcome, Mister Xiao." Zhongsun Shan stepped forward and cupped his hand in greetings.

"There's no need to be so polite." Lin Xiao felt overwhelmed by the sudden gesture. He knew that Zhongsun Shan was more powerful than him, which made it awkward for him to receive the bow from him. Having a Foundation Establishment Cultivators bowed down to a Body Training Stage Cultivators would be extremely strange.

"Alright. Based on the rules of the auction house, we'll be deducting 10 percent from the profit. Do you want to get Spirit Stones or gold, Mister Xiao?"

"Spirit Stones."

"In that case, you'll receive 13 Low Grade Spirit Stones along with 5,00o0 gold coins. Since the price for Dragonfly Grass is only 301 gold coins, you may take it without us taking anything. Just consider it as our gratitude for using our service," Zhongsun Shan explained everything with a smile.

Lin Xiao was honestly shocked when he heard what Zhongsun said, but it was true that comparing 301 gold coins and 5,000 gold coins that the price was incomparable. For such big auction house like this Yue Yi Auction House, there was not much worth for mere 301 gold coins.

If they could use it to strike more deals with Lin Xiao in the future, it would be better.

Lin Xiao nodded, accepting Zhongsun Shan's intention. "Thank you. In the future, I'll consider to put the item in Yue Yi Auction House again."

"It's a pleasure to do business with you, Mister Xiao." Zhongsun Shan was still full of smiles. His line of sight then fell to Sui Wenyan, who had been silence ever since she came into the room. Her eyes were looking at Zhongsun Shan with eyes filled with confusion yet at the same time, wariness.

"The manager wants me to apologize to you in advance because he had to attend to other guest and unable to see you in person."

Lin Xiao nodded. It was not surprising that there were more valuable customers. If he was the only one who came here, he would be treated better because of the treasure he handed. But since there were more people who were more powerful and all, he was reduced to the background.
