Facing Lin Chen’s questioning, Ye Wenhao’s calm face showed a hint of displeasure.
Within the Formation Sect, everyone fawned over him, flattering and toadying, yet Lin Chen was so direct, which made Ye Wenhao quite unhappy in his heart.
"Junior Brother Lin Chen, I heard you obtained a piece of Sixth-Grade Spiritual Medicine in the heritage site, is that true?"
Despite his displeasure, Ye Wenhao quickly recovered his composure and inquired of Lin Chen.
Lin Chen’s brows furrowed slightly; it seemed the other party had come for the Sixth-Grade Spiritual Medicine. Indeed, he had acquired a piece of Sixth-Grade Spiritual Medicine in front of everyone, but what they didn’t know was that Lin Chen had not just one piece, but all the Sixth-Grade Spiritual Medicine to himself.
"It’s true, I indeed snatched a piece of Sixth-Grade Spiritual Medicine in the heritage site."
Lin Chen responded indifferently.
"That’s great, you really got it! Junior Brother Lin Chen, I am here precisely for that Sixth-Grade Spiritual Medicine."
Ye Wenhao, hearing Lin Chen confirm the existence of the Sixth-Grade Spiritual Medicine, was overjoyed, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novel⟡fire.net
"Hmm, if you want this piece of Sixth-Grade Spiritual Medicine, that’s possible,"
Lin Chen said with a faint smile as he looked at Ye Wenhao.
He knew that Ye Wenhao’s wait here might be because other True Disciples within the sect also coveted this Spiritual Medicine.
Lin Chen didn’t want to spend his future days in unrest because of this Spiritual Medicine.
Although the Sixth-Grade Spiritual Medicine was precious, he had even more on his person.
As long as the other party produced treasures of equivalent value, he wouldn’t mind making a trade.
Lin Chen looked at Ye Wenhao, waiting for him to state his terms.
After all, Sixth-Grade Spiritual Medicine, especially those a hundred thousand years old, was worth a fortune; Ye Wenhao, as a True Disciple, should be able to present corresponding treasures.
"Then good, give it to me quickly, Junior Brother,"
Ye Wenhao’s smile grew even brighter, not having expected acquiring the Sixth-Grade Spiritual Medicine to be this easy, making his wait worthwhile.
"Senior Brother Ye, I think you should know, I’m accustomed to money in one hand and goods in the other,"
"Since Senior Brother wants this piece of Sixth-Grade Spiritual Medicine, you should first let me see what you are willing to offer in exchange."
Lin Chen spoke calmly, secretly thinking that Ye Wenhao couldn’t possibly be ignorant of this rule.
After all, they were not familiar with each other; if Ye Wenhao took the Spiritual Medicine and reneged, what then?
"What!? You want me to trade for it?!"
Ye Wenhao was inwardly shocked upon hearing this.
Who was he? The illustrious True Disciple of the Formation Sect, Ye Wenhao.
Even the elders of the sect were courteous to him, often offering treasures in hopes of winning his favor.
After all, no one dared to guarantee that Ye Wenhao wouldn’t one day become the Sect Leader of the Formation Sect, or, at the very least, master of a peak.
Everyone wanted to ingratiate themselves with him, yet Lin Chen, this newly initiated disciple, actually dared to request that he produce treasures in exchange for the Sixth-Grade Spiritual Medicine. Ye Wenhao found this to be the most ludicrous joke he had heard in years.
He had personally come to wait for Lin Chen, which was already a significant concession.
Not only had Lin Chen not proactively offered up the treasures, but even after Ye Wenhao had spoken up, he dared to demand a trade for them.
After a brief shock, Ye Wenhao revealed an understanding smile.
"Junior Brother Lin Chen, rest assured, just hand over the Sixth-Grade Spiritual Medicine to me, and in the future within the Formation Sect, no one will dare to trouble you. You can say you’re under my protection; even those elders will give you some face,"
Ye Wenhao said lightly. In the Formation Sect, a promise from a True Disciple was undeniably a great protection to new disciples.
However, Lin Chen remained unmoved by Ye Wenhao’s promise.
He had expected Ye Wenhao to come up with treasures of equal value in exchange, but it seemed now that Ye Wenhao wanted to obtain the Sixth-Grade Spiritual Medicine just with a promise of protection.
Lin Chen didn’t need anyone’s protection within the Formation Sect; his not bullying others was already their good fortune.
"Senior Brother Ye, do you really think a few verbal promises can exchange for this piece of Sixth-Grade Spiritual Medicine?"
Lin Chen’s expression finally changed.
Ye Wenhao’s smile disappeared, his gaze turned icy, and the aura around him gradually grew stronger.
"If you’re unwilling to trade, then I won’t be giving you this piece of Sixth-Grade Spiritual Medicine,"
Lin Chen replied firmly.
"Boy, you might not be aware of my temper,"
Ye Wenhao’s tone was filled with threats.
"I’ve come to you for this Sixth-Grade Spiritual Medicine, which is already giving you face. If you don’t know what’s good for you, don’t blame me for being impolite."
A hint of murderous intent flashed in Ye Wenhao’s eyes, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
