Fury Immortal Doctor

Chapter 1585 - 1588: Zong Zijin Tries to Steal the Deal

Zong Zijin was brimming with pride. On the side, the cultivation group's Five Tigers, led by Yan Xianghui, suddenly sparkled with interest. He sneaked a glance and then immediately gave a thumbs-up, exclaiming, "Brother Zong indeed has excellent eye power and skill. Such a small matter as plucking Immortal Herbs is effortless for him.""And Brother Zong is modest and open-minded, unlike some people; they find a treasure and forget their own name, displaying arrogance and neglecting the codes of Jianghu. They disregard righteousness and just focus on hoarding benefits for themselves."

"Look at Brother Zong, wow. Nine hundred bucks for an Immortal Herb worth millions. Did he brag? Did he flaunt?"

Upon hearing their words, Abi was unhappy and, with a hint of a pout, spoke to Shen Qiang, "I told you to walk faster but you didn't listen. See, someone else snatched the bargain, and now he's mocking us. I'm so upset!"

Seeing Abi's playful pout, Shen Qiang couldn't help but chuckle.

Abi was annoyed, "You're still laughing? Where's your heart?"

Shen Qiang laughed, responding calmly, "Look closely, is that really the Jade Dew Yellow Bell Flower?"

Abi was anxious, "Why wouldn't it be? Look at all those water droplets..."

Upon hearing this, Zong Zijin sneered, "Shen Qiang, you just can't stand others being successful. So, it's fine for you to find the Hundred Ganoderma Vine for eight hundred, but not for me to buy the Jade Dew Yellow Bell Flower for nine hundred? Where's the logic in that?"

Shen Qiang narrowed his eyes in laughter and teasingly looked at Zong Zijin, saying, "Are you sure what you bought is the Jade Dew Yellow Bell Flower? Look closely; the edges of its leaves are smooth. In reality, no matter the ordinary or Jade Dew variety of the Yellow Bell Flower, its leaf edges are serrated. So what you bought is not the Jade Dew Yellow Bell Flower but rather the Yellow Chant Flower."

Zong Zijin was stunned.

On the side, without knowing the facts, Yan Xianghui mockingly said, "Shen Qiang, you must be mistaken. Others might misidentify, but Brother Zong definitely wouldn't. After all, he's the chief disciple, not a fool. There's no way he'd make such a rookie mistake."

Once his words fell, Yu Xinghuo, after scrutinizing the flower in Zong Zijin's hand, helplessly shook his head, "Yan Xianghui, call me senior and let me give you a piece of advice: your friend here, though seeming decent, is an embroidered pillow. Because what's in his hand is indeed the Yellow Chant Flower. It's sold in bulk at the wholesale hall, fifteen bucks a pot, with discounts on larger purchases."

Yan Xianghui froze instantly, and Zong Zijin's face turned pale, wishing he could slap himself hard.

Upon hearing Shen Qiang's words, he already realized that out of eagerness to win, he had quickly decided it was the Jade Dew Yellow Bell Flower after just one look and bought it immediately, shifting his focus on how to ridicule Shen Qiang.

This resulted in neglecting the distinction between the Yellow Bell Flower and the Yellow Chant Flower, with the flowers looking similar but differing in that the Yellow Bell Flower's leaf edges have small serrations while the Yellow Chant Flower's edges are smooth.

But admitting defeat now would be too humiliating, so he quickly stashed the flower into his Qiankun Bag, scoffing, "I know who I am, no need for sour grapes talk from you lot."

Shen Qiang chuckled, "Are you joking, Zong Zijin? A friendly tip: the Yellow Chant Flower is poisonous; if you use it for alchemy, it'll be deadly."

Zong Zijin's face turned dark, still holding on stubbornly.

"Oh, you make it sound like I'm inferior to you. Whether I perform alchemy or not, I'm in charge of my own stuff."

Now, having understood the situation, Abi giggled, playfully saying, "Oh my, Zong Zijin, you're so certain you bought the Jade Dew Yellow Bell Flower, why not bring it out for a comparison and slap Shen Qiang in the face?"

The stunning campus belle Qin Yurou also giggled, saying, "Yes, compare it and you'll see whose eye power is better, leaving no doubts."

Upon hearing this, Zong Zijin's face turned as red as liver, knowing exactly that he bought the Yellow Chant Flower and had stashed it away in the Qiankun Bag as the last piece of dignity. Bringing it out would make him feel utterly humiliated.

"It's getting late; focusing on treasure hunting might be more worthwhile." Zong Zijin's reddened face continued walking.

Yu Xinghuo helplessly shook his head, coldly laughing, "Kid, it's normal that your eye power isn't as good as Shen Qiang's. Even I can't do it, let alone you. If I were you, I'd humbly follow Shen Qiang; you might learn a thing or two. Acting impudent before Shen Qiang without skill is just asking for embarrassment!"

These words made Zong Zijin's neck turn as red as liver.

Abi burst into laughter, moving closer to Shen Qiang, her expression became even more charming and captivating.

Moreover, even the elegant fairy-like Qin Yurou, who seemed untouched by the world, inexplicably stood beside Shen Qiang, her delicate fragrance still refreshing amidst the flower sea.

"Shen Qiang, you're really amazing. Even if you aren't an alchemist, merely dealing in these exotic flowers and grasses could surely make you rich."

Listening to Qin Yurou's admiration.

Shen Qiang smiled.

If Shen Qiang's treasure appraisal ability in the antique market has reached first-class, then undoubtedly, his Observation Skill in identifying flowers and grasses for alchemy is absolutely top-notch.

Because medicine is the foundation of the Medical Saint Inheritance.

The Medical Saint's research in various Chinese Herbal Medicine is meticulously detailed, to the point of being terrifying. To put it bluntly, even botanists might not be as good as the Medical Saint.

Therefore, with just a glance, one could determine the type of flower, its properties, suitability for medicine, what kind of Pill could be refined with it, and potential toxicity—all of which he knows inside and out.

If picking a find in the antique market has a one-star difficulty.

Then wandering through the flower market, looking for a find, has practically zero difficulty for Shen Qiang.

Unless there's none, or simply put, Shen Qiang hasn't spotted it.

Otherwise, any item with certain value definitely won't escape Shen Qiang's expert eyes.

Thus, in the following time, whenever Shen Qiang paused during his leisurely stroll, he would frequently purchase one or two pots of flowers or grasses suitable for elixir pills. Though their value wasn't always exceedingly high, each pot was worth tens of thousands to millions.

This sight made Zong Zijin and Yan Xianghui incredibly envious. After the two murmured and pondered, when Shen Qiang again paused and looked towards a flower shop, Zong Zijin immediately stepped forward with a very grand demeanor, saying, "Boss, I'll take all the flowers and grasses in your shop. Prepare the bill; I'll pay you."

The shop owner was ecstatic instantly.

Shen Qiang was briefly startled and found it somewhat amusing.

However, Abi was infuriated, raging, "Zong Zijin, you're going too far! How can you do that?"

Unperturbed, Zong Zijin smugly raised his brow, "Sorry, intercepted. You guys were too slow; the flowers in this shop are all mine now. Exotic flowers and grasses are naturally mine too."
