Chapter 485 With medicinal herbs in hand, I have nothing to fear.

How is it so ridiculous?

Wenwen had a strange expression on her face. She had her hands outstretched. On her left palm was a handful of jet-black grass, and on her right palm was a handful of purple-skinned, yellow-fleshed peanuts.

She turned to look at Wen Chengjian, then at Wen Chengbin.

His eyes seemed to be saying: Look at me, look here, look here!

The two men stared wide-eyed, one pointing into the courtyard and the other towards Wenwen.

The two brothers really didn't know what to say.

Ever since they heard about the Blue Blood Vine seedlings, the three siblings have been distracted by the conversations outside.

Therefore, they listened to every word the people in the courtyard said.

What outsiders had been searching for for years, their sister produced in the blink of an eye. If outsiders knew this, they wouldn't know whether to be happy or excited.

In short, sometimes, fate is a mysterious thing!

"Sister, what is this Spirit-Replenishing Pill for?" Wen Chengjian asked.

"Could it be replenishing spiritual energy?" Wen Chengbin muttered to himself, "But it doesn't seem like it."

Replenishing the spirit, replenishing the spirit, Wenwen had a vague idea in her mind, but since there were people outside who knew, it was better to listen to the elders' explanation.

Besides, they have many questions about tomorrow's World Expo and the auction the day after, as well as about the Spirit Replenishing Pill.

"Big brother, second brother, why don't we stay a few more days? After the World Expo tomorrow, there's an auction the day after. Do you want to go check it out?"

Wenwen consulted her two older brothers.

Wen Chengbin jumped up instinctively, "Great! Great!"

Unlike his reaction, Wen Chengjian immediately asked, "Sister, is the itinerary feasible? We mustn't be late!"

"There's enough time."

Wenwen started walking out as she spoke.

"Fellow Daoists, have I disturbed you? I am truly sorry."

Huang Xiaoyang saw the three people coming out of the east room and said somewhat embarrassedly.

"It's alright, it's alright."

Wen Chengjian led his younger siblings to the stone table and bowed to the two elders of the Huang family.

"Uncle, Auntie, sorry to bother you!"

Although cultivators should be matched according to their cultivation level, some of the etiquette and manners of the mortal world should not be abandoned, especially when asking for favors.

First, show respect to your elders to make a good first impression, which will make it easier to move on to the next step.

Seeing the three young men who had rented their east room come out and were so polite, Huang Damao and his wife felt instantly relieved and at ease.

Judging from their appearances, these young people are easy to get along with and kind; they won't bring trouble to the family.

"Fellow Daoists, you are too kind."

Huang Damao smiled and said, "Is there anything missing in the room? I'll have Xiaoyang add it for you."

"No shortage, no shortage."

Wen Chengbin waved his hand and said familiarly, "Uncle, we heard that Fellow Daoist Huang has returned from inside the house, and we wanted to come out and ask him about tomorrow's World Expo and auction. I wonder if it would be convenient for us?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaoyang's eyes lit up and she smiled, "Convenient, convenient. My father and mother are here, and they know more than I do. If I can't explain it clearly, they can help me explain."

"only......"

In the end, Huang Xiaoyang looked troubled.

Wen Chengjian said, "Don't worry, we definitely won't ask anything we shouldn't. If we ask anything offensive, just skip it."

Huang Xiaoyang scratched his head and smiled, "I know, I know."

Then, everyone sat down at the stone table, and Wenwen and her two siblings chatted with Huang Xiaoyang about the World Expo and the auction. During this time, Huang Damao and his wife also told the three siblings some well-known things.

The atmosphere was very friendly for a time. When Wenwen realized the goodwill of the Huang family, she seemingly unintentionally brought up the matter of the Blue Blood Vine.

"Uncle, I've heard that Gardenia and Blue Blood Vine can improve a cultivator's physique. Is that true?" Wenwen asked.

"Of course it's true! The Huang family used to grow it on a large scale back then!"

Huang Damao said with certainty, "According to my great-great-grandfather and his family, the ancestors of the Huang family used the Blue Blood Vine Elixir to improve the physique of the clan, which led to their later development."

"However, as the clan developed, the ancestors discovered that more and more spirit fields were being destroyed, and this destruction was irreparable. In other words, spirit fields that had been planted with Blue Blood Vine would slowly turn into desert and become unusable."

"Because of this, the clan began to gradually reduce the planting of Blue Blood Vine. Over time, this was passed down from generation to generation. As the clan's population increased, the resources required also gradually increased. The spirit fields could not be lost. Finally, the Huang family issued an order to prohibit the planting of Blue Blood Vine in the spirit fields."

So there was another layer to the story!

Wen Chengbin asked curiously, "Then, the Blue Blood Vine disappeared after that?"

"They've disappeared from Ningqian City," Huang Damao said regretfully.

He paused for a moment, then added, "However, some people in other immortal cities are still cultivating them. By the way, the World Expo will be exhibiting a few seedlings tomorrow. Are you interested?"

Wenwen nodded, "Yes, we want to buy them and try planting them at home."

"Go home and grow it? You'd better think it over."

Huang Damao advised, "That thing takes a long and arduous growth period, and more importantly, it wastes spirit fields!"

At this moment, Madam Xu brought over some snacks and spiritual fruits, and invited the group, "Young fellow Daoists, please have some snacks."

Huang Xiaoduo handed Wenwen a spirit fruit, "Brother, have some fruit, this fruit is very sweet."

At this time, Wenwen was dressed in men's clothing, an outfit suitable for traveling.

Wenwen accepted the fruit, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Xiaoduo!"

Xu put her arm around Huang Xiaoduo and looked at Wenwen, asking, "Little fellow Daoist, do you urgently need Blue Blood Vine for medicine?"

Wenwen nodded, "Yes, the elders in the family need it. Do you know where I can buy it, Auntie?"

Listen carefully to the implication; since Madam Xu asked this question, she must have some connections.

Xu looked at her, blinked, and changed the subject, "Little fellow Daoist, let me remind you, even with the Blue Blood Vine, you still need to prepare the main ingredients for the Breakthrough Pill, and then find an alchemist before you can refine this pill."

Huang Xiaoyang asked timidly, "Mother, can't the alchemists in the City Lord's Mansion refine this pill?"

Ms. Xu: "...Maybe? But the price is a bit high."

Unexpectedly, Huang Damao scoffed, "That damn alchemist from the City Lord's Mansion is utterly useless. Not only are his fees exorbitant, but his success rate is also incredibly low. He should be saving good medicinal herbs. If he could really make this pill, why is there such a shortage of Breakthrough Pills in the city?"

"It's been several years already, and only a dozen or so Breakthrough Pills appear in the city each year. Everyone has been protesting and appealing to the City Lord's Mansion for so long, but it's like squeezing toothpaste, only a few pills are squeezed out every few months. It's not even enough to fill a tooth gap."

"Just you wait and see. At your auction the day after tomorrow, people will go crazy fighting over pills. Don't even mention Foundation Establishment Pills, the price of Breakthrough Pills will be terrifying."

"I wonder what the City Lord's Mansion is all about..."

The mere mention of elixirs caused Huang Damao to erupt like a gunpowder-fueled machine, unleashing a torrent of attacks without restraint.

"Father, we were talking about the Blue Blood Vine, where did you get off topic?"

Huang Xiaoyang hurriedly interrupted him, saying that it was best not to say anything more about matters concerning their clan and the city lord.

Huang Damao coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment, "Oh, I was just saying this out of the blue, just saying this out of the blue."

Seeing an opening, Wenwen asked eagerly, "Auntie, where can I buy Blue Blood Vine? I want to buy as much or as little as I can, as long as it's from a year when it can be used in medicine, I'll buy it."

Unexpectedly, Ms. Xu's eyes swept over Wenwen like a searchlight, and the latter remained calm and allowed Ms. Xu to scrutinize and examine her.

A moment later, Mr. Xu made a startling statement.
