Chapter 122: I've Been Poor for Too Long!
Bai He was silent for a moment, thinking about the current state of the Bai Family Village, and finally sighed softly.
With a flip of his wrist, a jade box appeared in his hand.
The jade box was about one foot and five inches long and half a foot wide, carved entirely from high-quality mutton-fat white jade.
It was evident how much Bai He treasured this Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng.
If he hadn't encountered difficulties, he likely wouldn't have considered this.
Bai He carefully opened the jade box, and the moment it opened, a refreshing fragrance wafted out.
Lin Yang's eyes lit up, his gaze subconsciously shifting to the jade box.
Inside the jade box lay a ginseng plant about a foot long.
The ginseng was blood-red throughout, like a translucent ruby, and the raised patterns on its surface resembled a five-clawed Dragon soaring in the sky.
The Dragon's head, body, and claws were all incredibly lifelike.
Not bad; looking at its appearance and quality, it was undoubtedly a Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng.
Moreover, Lin Yang could clearly feel that this Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng still had vitality; if he planted it in the Yin Yang Ice and Fire Well, it might even survive.
At the very least, he could keep its seeds.
Reluctantly taking one last look at the treasure, Bai He handed the jade box to Lin Yang. "This is the ginseng. You... give it a price."
Although he said this, Bai He had already decided in his heart that if Lin Yang's price was lower than expected, he would kick him out without a word.
Although he disdained haggling, he absolutely would not let anyone treat him like a fool.
Moreover, it was only because Lin Yang had severely dampened the arrogance of Spirit Hall and shown great sincerity that he was reluctantly agreeing to this trade.
Lin Yang pondered for a moment, then asked, "I wonder if Senior Bai He wants gold coins, or would prefer to trade goods?"
"gold coins," Bai He said without hesitation.
For so many years, due to the suppression by Spirit Hall and the isolation from the Soul Master World, he had truly been poor for too long.
Don't look at the current peaceful state of the Bai Family Village; in reality, he knew very well that if there was no more income, he would have to swallow his pride and go borrow money from old friends again.
Lin Yang nodded, not surprised, and then held up two fingers.
"Senior Bai He, what do you think of this number?"
Bai He's expression changed: "Twenty thousand?"
Lin Yang shook his head: "It's two hundred thousand!"
"To be honest, the quality of this ginseng is extremely rare; it is a treasure seldom seen, and it is of great use to me."
"My Butterfly House operates on the basis of integrity, so I am willing to trade two hundred thousand gold coins for this ginseng king. I wonder what Senior Bai He thinks?"
At this moment, Bai He had his mouth wide open, unable to make a sound for a long time.
His reason had been completely smashed to pieces by the "weight" of these two hundred thousand gold coins.
Two hundred thousand, two hundred thousand gold coins.
Had he really heard correctly?
This was an astronomical figure, not just for him, but for the entire Speed Clan.
Before this, he wouldn't even dare to imagine such a huge sum of money.
Bai Chenxiang's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief.
He just said two hundred thousand so lightly?
"Senior? Senior Bai He?"
Lin Yang called out a few times before pulling Bai He back from the edge of Spiritual breakdown.
"Ah?"
Bai He came back to his senses, looked at Lin Yang, and his old face immediately flushed red. Then, acting as if nothing had happened, he said, "Are you really willing to trade with two hundred thousand gold coins?"
Lin Yang looked serious: "Naturally."
He immediately took out a gold coin card from his Spirit Tool. "This card contains two hundred thousand gold coins; Senior can verify it yourself."
Taking the card, Bai He's hands were trembling slightly; he felt that this light card weighed a thousand jin.
Taking a deep breath, Bai He forced himself to calm his excitement and said in a dry voice, "Little Friend Lin Yang, I... I need to go verify this!"
Lin Yang raised his hand, making a gesture for him to go ahead.
Glancing at the jade box, Bai He didn't put it away, but turned to Bai Chenxiang and said, "Xiangxiang, take good care of our two distinguished guests!"
Bai Chenxiang nodded quickly: "I know, Grandfather."
Immediately, Bai He turned into a streak of light and instantly disappeared from the room.
After Bai He left, Bai Chenxiang became noticeably more lively. She refilled the teacups and looked at Lin Yang with her eyes darting around. "Lin... Young Master..."
"Just call me Lin Yang," Lin Yang waved his hand. "The title 'Young Master Lin' sounds like some uneducated rich kid."
Bai Chenxiang giggled, her initial nervousness dissipating quite a bit. "Lin Yang, my grandfather is very fast; he will be back in a few minutes."
Lin Yang nodded and said in a deep voice, "The extreme speed of the Speed Clan is famous; I naturally do not doubt it."
A flash of pride crossed Bai Chenxiang's eyes, but it was immediately followed by a touch of gloom. What good was speed, no matter how fast it was?
In terms of attack power, the Speed Clan was the lowest among the four single-attribute Families.
Usually, they could only serve as scouts and spies.
Lin Yang saw the change in Bai Chenxiang's expression, but he said nothing.
This was the choice of their entire clan; it was not his place as an outsider to comment.
Bai Chenxiang quickly collected her emotions and switched to a lighter topic. "How is Heaven Dou City? Is it bigger than Yunlin City?"
Lin Yang chuckled and said, "Heaven Dou City is much bigger than Yunlin City and much more prosperous. If you have the chance, you can go see it."
A hint of envy appeared in Bai Chenxiang's eyes, then she shook her head. "Grandfather won't agree."
Lin Yang didn't say anything more.
After a few minutes, Bai He's figure suddenly appeared.
Bai He's expression was different from when he left; not only was his face glowing, but his back seemed to be straighter.
Sure enough, money gives a man courage!
Even in the Douluo Continent, this saying was still timeless.
"Clan Chief Bai He, what is the result?"
Bai He took a deep breath: "Not a single coin less!"
"Then this trade..."
"Take it!"
Now that he had these two hundred thousand gold coins in hand, the reluctance in his heart vanished instantly.
He was even worried that Lin Yang might change his mind, so he was eager to complete the transaction.
Two hundred thousand gold coins; even if the entire Family didn't engage in production, if they spent carefully, it could sustain them for thirty or forty years.
As for after thirty or forty years, let the next Clan Chief figure it out; he might not even live that long.
Lin Yang stood up and bowed slightly to Bai He. "The trade is concluded; then this Junior will accept it."
As he spoke, he put the jade box containing the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng into his Spirit Tool, and the stone in his heart finally landed firmly.
This trade went even smoother than he had imagined. After completing it, Lin Yang didn't linger; he exchanged greetings and prepared to leave.
But just as Lin Yang turned around, Bai He's voice suddenly rang out: "Stay a moment!"
Lin Yang's footsteps paused, and he sighed inwardly. Is he really that impatient?
He immediately raised his guard, ready to act at any moment.
"Does Senior Bai He have other matters?"
Bai He hesitated for a moment, then said, "There is something I would like to ask Little Friend Lin Yang for a favor with."
