The Physician Wife Who Overturned The World

31. Big Gambling

The shopkeeper originally spoke to Xue Fanxin when she was suddenly interrupted by a voice. He was a little unhappy, but businessmen in general appreciated the harmony. Even if he was upset, he would not be directly hostile. Instead, he greeted him with a smile, “So it was the Third Young Master of the Imperial Advisory House. I wonder what Third Young Master meant with those words earlier?”

The Third Young Master of the Imperial Advisory Residence was named Yan Jinlu. He was the son of the hedonist who went in and out. He had ordinary talent, was lazy, greedy, and lustful. In short, he had a very bad reputation. Since he had a father who was an Imperial Advisor, he had broken the law and oppressed others ever since he was young.

Yan Jinlu walked into the store and did not even look towards Xue Fanxin. He said arrogantly, “Skeeper Shop Qian, did you receive a spirit herb of unknown origin today? The Heavenly Treasure Trading Firm should be extremely well informed. You must have known when the spirit herbs in the Hundred Potions Hall were stolen. If one were to sell spirit herbs in the Hundred Potions Hall, Shopkeeper Qian was a smart person and should know what to do.”

“Third Young Master, I naturally know what to do about this kind of thing. It's just that I didn't receive any spirit herbs of unknown origin today. As for this Spirit Resurrection Potion, as far as I know, it is not something that your Hundred Potions Hall can make, so this is definitely not something that your Hundred Potions Hall can obtain.” Although Shopkeeper Qian spoke to Yan Jinlu politely, he did not lower his attitude at all. Clearly, he was only patronizing Yan Jinlu.

“Hmph, of course, a treasure like the Spirit Resurrection Potion is not something our Hundred Potions Hall can create. That's why I reminded Shopkeeper Qian to take a closer look and not be deceived. For something like the Spirit Resurrection Potion, if it wasn't a fake, only an idiot would sell it here.”

Xue Fanxin clearly heard Yan Jinlu's words from the side and began to think about it seriously. One could guess that the Spirit Resurrection Potion was extremely precious, so much so that no one would be willing to exchange it for ordinary money.

Cultivation resources were not something that could be exchanged for ordinary treasures. Therefore, even though many cultivators had talent, due to limited resources, they did not have many achievements. Unless they were born into a relatively good and valued family, it was extremely difficult to stand out with just individual cultivation.

“Support Qian, I can guarantee with my life that this must be the Spirit Resurrection Potion. If you don't want to accept it, I'll take it somewhere else to sell it.” Xue Fanxin reached out and pretended to take back the Spirit Resurrection Potion.

However, Shopkeeper Qian protected him tightly. “Nona, don't worry. When did I say that this Spirit Resurrection Potion was fake? Although the Spirit Resurrection Potion was extremely rare, I had seen it before. This is the real deal. For the price, you can give me a number. I will definitely try my best to meet your needs.”

"Two million taels of gold, plus one condition."

“There was no problem with the gold, but the conditions were.” Shopkeeper Qian was obviously worried Xue Fanxin would raise the conditions too hard, so she was in a difficult position.

Xue Fanxin had no qualms and said straightforwardly, "The condition is that this bottle of Spirit Resurrection Potion should not be sold to the Imperial Advisory House."

Yan Jinlu was still standing to the side. When he heard Shopkeeper Qian say that it was truly a Spirit Resurrection Potion, he wanted to go back and report it to his family so that they could buy it. Who knew that the woman beside him would say that he would not sell it to the Imperial Advisory House? This makes him very angry.

“Dumb girl, what are you saying? How dare you not sell it to our Imperial Advisory House? Let me tell you, you can only sell this bottle of Spirit Resurrection Potion to the Imperial Advisory House.. Otherwise, never think of selling it.”

Xue Fanxin was completely unconcerned about Yan Jinlu's threat. He did not even look at her and only spoke to Shopkeeper Qian, "Storekeeper Qian, can you please fulfill my request?"

Shopkeeper Qian also did not take Yan Jinlu seriously and said to Xue Fanxin politely, “Nona, don't worry. I guarantee that I can meet your requirements. If you still have a Spirit Resurrection Potion to sell next time, you can come to me. I will definitely give you a satisfactory price.”

"certain. Then, when can you give me those two million gold taels?”

“Nona, this is a very large amount. It's very hard for me to give it now. I can at most take 100,000 taels of gold. If you believe me, you can leave the Spirit Resurrection Potion first. I'll write you a note. Three days later, you can come here with a note to receive the rest of the money. How about that?"

"Of course, I'll take it as a big gamble."

"Okay thanks!" Xue Fanxin took the banknotes and counted them roughly. After making sure that nothing was wrong, he kept it.

However, these banknotes made Yan Jinlu stare in bewilderment, his eyes filled with greed.

When Yan Jinlu heard that Shopkeeper Qian had agreed to Xue Fanxin's request, she was furious, but then, she was unable to interrupt at all. When he could, all his attention was fixed on the thick stack of banknotes. He had forgotten everything and thought only of paper money.

If those 100,000 taels of gold were his, he would become rich.

100,000 gold taels. Even if he recovered all the spirit herbs that had been lost from the Hundred Potions Hall, he would not be able to exchange that much money.

Xue Fanxin left after selling a bottle of Spirit Resurrection Potion. He did not take out another bottle. After he had the money, he strolled around the Heavenly Treasure Trading Firm. At first, he wanted to buy something, but he realized someone was following him. He stopped shopping and left early.

After leaving the Heavenly Treasure Trading Firm, Xue Fanxin deliberately went into a desolate alley. When he reached a dead end, someone blocked his path.

There was someone blocking the road behind him.

"Yan Jinlu, what do you want?" Xue Fanxin took the initiative to ask.

Indeed, the one who followed him was Yan Jinlu.

"As long as you hand over 100,000 gold taels obediently, I will consider saving your life," Yan Jinlu said shamelessly, revealing his true nature as a bully.

“I didn't expect that the great Imperial Advisory House would actually have such a bastard living in it. If word gets out, I wonder how much of the reputation of the Imperial Advisory House will be lost?”

“Hmph, if I kill you, no one will know about this. Do so. Don't waste your breath on him. Kill him and take his money.”

Following Yan Jinlu's orders, someone else attacked Xue Fanxin.

This guy is a fighter. Even though he was in the Spirit Resurrection Realm, his cultivation was much higher than Xue Fanxin, and his foundation was stable.

However, Xue Fanxin's movement technique was relatively nimble, and she had developed a heaven-defying cultivation technique. It was not easy for people in the same world to kill him.

"Finding death."
