Chapter 467 - 467 467 The Lions Big Mouth

Chapter 467: Chapter 467: The Lion’s Big Mouth Chapter 467: Chapter 467: The Lion’s Big Mouth Star Realm Auction.

Zhang Junlan and Yanran attended the auction once again, marking Zhang Junlan’s fifth visit to the auction within half a month.

The young master of the Zhang family graced the event, and the chairman of the auction alongside the three grand elders personally received him.

Zhang Junlan made numerous visits to the auction seeking a particular medicinal herb, known as the Seven-Colored Bright Moon Grass.

This herb was of utmost importance, playing a critical role in the healing of Yanran’s meridians, serving as one of the main ingredients in Feng Wuchen’s elixirs.

Feng Wuchen had listed dozens of medicinal materials, yet there was absolutely no information on the Seven-Colored Bright Moon Grass.

The Seven-Colored Bright Moon Grass was extremely precious; even the Star Realm Auction did not possess it. The Zhang family dispatched numerous powerhouses to search for it, but to no avail, demonstrating its rarity.

For the sake of this herb, Zhang Junlan entrusted the auction to help in the search, but all previous visits had been fruitless.

However, this time, Zhang Junlan learned that the auction had received information about the Seven-Colored Bright Moon Grass and hurried over.

Missing only the Seven-Colored Bright Moon Grass, Feng Wuchen would be able to assist Yanran in repairing her damaged meridians. Zhang Junlan could hardly contain his elation, wishing to obtain the Seven-Colored Bright Moon Grass immediately.

Zhang Junlan rushed into the auction with Yanran, where the chairman and the elders were already waiting.

The mere fact that the chairman and the three grand elders awaited him was enough to demonstrate the esteemed status of Zhang Junlan.

“Chairman, where is the Seven-Colored Bright Moon Grass? Tell me quickly!” Zhang Junlan asked excitedly.

Upon hearing this, the chairman respectfully said, “Young Master Zhang, after extensive inquiries, we’ve learned that a Sixth Grade Alchemist happens to have a sixty-year-old Seven-Colored Bright Moon Grass, and we have invited this individual to the auction.”

After finishing, the faces of the chairman and the three grand elders appeared somewhat complex.

“Where?” Zhang Junlan asked with ecstatic urgency.

“I am right here,” a white-haired elder with a white beard emerged slowly from the rear hall.

Dressed in a black robe, with white hair and a face full of wrinkles, the elder carried an air of an immortal sage about him.

The elder’s weathered face wore a hint of proud amusement as he said, “Young Master Zhang, I hear you urgently need a strand of the Seven-Colored Bright Moon Grass.”

“Indeed, may I know how to address my senior?” Zhang Junlan asked respectfully, his demeanor polite as he forcefully suppressed the thrill and agitation within him.

“I am Han Kun,” the elder replied with a serene smile.

“Han Kun? The strongest Sixth Grade Alchemist in the Wuji Domain! The Han Kun who, six years ago, defeated the three great Sixth Grade Alchemists of the Wuji Domain!” Zhang Junlan exclaimed with slight surprise, yet he didn’t forget to flatter a few words during his astonishment.

Indeed, Han Kun’s alchemy skills were formidable. Six years prior at the Alchemy Conference held in the Wuji Domain, Han Kun defeated three Sixth Grade Alchemists of the Wuji Domain in succession, earning the title of the strongest Sixth Grade Alchemist and becoming the most likely candidate to step into the Seventh Grade.

With that battle, Han Kun’s name thundered across the Wuji Domain!

Zhang Junlan’s praises added a few more strokes of proud amusement to Han Kun’s aged face; evidently, he enjoyed the flattery.

“In the coming two years, I might be able to break through to the Seventh Grade,” Han Kun said with a proud laugh.

“Seventh Grade!” The expressions of the chairman and the three grand elders changed subtly.

While Sixth Grade Alchemists held an extraordinary position in the Wuji Domain, there were quite a few of them. However, being a Seventh Grade was far more terrifying in status. Though there was only one grade difference, the status between them was as vast as the heavens and the earth.

A Seventh-Grade Alchemist holds an absolutely terrifying status in the Mainland, with countless major forces and top powerhouses all wanting to curry favor with them.

Zhang Junlan’s praise was taken for granted by Han Kun, who even took the initiative to raise his own price; this showed just how arrogant Han Kun was.

The arrogance of alchemists is known to all.

Han Kun’s arrogance was the arrogance among the most arrogant.

“Then, let me congratulate Senior Han Kun in advance on his early breakthrough to Seventh-Grade Alchemist!” Zhang Junlan congratulated him ahead of time and then got straight to the point, “Senior, how might one exchange for the Seven-Colored Bright Moon Grass in your hands?”

Stroking his clean white beard and smiling blandly, he said, “Young Master Zhang, you should be aware of the rarity and preciousness of the Seven-Colored Bright Moon Grass. It’s not ordinary material; I almost lost my life trying to obtain this herb.”

“The Seven-Colored Bright Moon Grass is indeed incredibly precious and rare!” Zhang Junlan couldn’t deny it and nodded. With the terrifying strength of the Zhang family, they couldn’t find the Seven-Colored Bright Moon Grass even after half a month, and it wasn’t available at the star realm auction either, enough to prove the herb’s value.

“Senior Han Kun, I indeed have a great need for the Seven-Colored Bright Moon Grass. I hope Senior can name a price—gold coins are not an issue,” Zhang Junlan continued.

Han Kun shook his head and said, “Young Master Zhang, gold coins hold no temptation for me.”

As the strongest Sixth-Grade Alchemist, would he lack gold coins?

“Then may I ask what Senior desires?” questioned Zhang Junlan.

“The Zhang family is an Artifact Refining Family. An Immortal Artifact should be nothing to the Zhang family,” Han Kun said with a faint smile.

“An Immortal Artifact?” Zhang Junlan’s expression changed slightly, and he cursed inwardly, “This old bastard is really opening his mouth wide like a lion!”

Although the Seven-Colored Bright Moon Grass is precious, its value pales in comparison to an Immortal Artifact! Not even one-tenth of it!

Not to mention an Immortal Artifact; even the materials used for refining Immortal Artifacts are more precious than the Seven-Colored Bright Moon Grass!

No wonder the chairman and the three elders have complex looks on their faces; they evidently knew early on that Han Kun wanted the Seven-Colored Bright Moon Grass in exchange for an Immortal Artifact!

“Young Master Zhang, as an alchemist, the stronger the Alchemy Furnace is, the better. I also hope to own an Immortal Artifact Alchemy Furnace, which should not be a difficult matter for the Zhang family,” Han Kun said with a faint smile, not showing an excessive desire even when hoping to exchange for an Immortal Artifact.

“This…” Zhang Junlan was immediately troubled and cursed inwardly, “Just for a mere Seven-Colored Bright Moon Grass, he wants an Immortal Artifact? Crafty old turtle!”

“Junlan, Han Kun is simply taking advantage of the situation! Let’s not agree to it!” Yanran quickly transmitted her voice to him.

“Young Master Zhang, I can provide the materials for refining the Immortal Artifact myself; your Zhang family need not contribute,” Han Kun added after giving Zhang Junlan a glance.

“Senior Han Kun, creating an Immortal Artifact is not as easy as just saying it will be done. Although the Seven-Colored Bright Moon Grass is precious, its value is nowhere close to that of an Immortal Artifact. Even if my grandfather personally did the Artifact Refining, it’s still not certain that he could produce one,” Zhang Junlan said with a helpless wry smile.

Zhang Junlan was very clear about the value of an Immortal Artifact. It was only because Yanran urgently needed this herb that he was willing to exchange for it, but an Immortal Artifact Pill Furnace, even the Zhang family wouldn’t dare to claim they could make one.

Upon hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed in Han Kun’s eyes as he shook his head and said, “Since that is the case, I won’t force the issue. I bid you farewell.”

“Senior, please wait!” Zhang Junlan hurriedly stopped him, saying, “Please give me a few days’ time.”

“Three days. I will leave the star realm in three days. Young Master Zhang, do not miss the chance,” Han Kun said with a faint smile, then left the auction.

“Young Master Zhang, the value of the Seven-Colored Bright Moon Grass is far less than that of an Immortal Artifact. You mustn’t agree to his terms; that old bastard is being completely unreasonable!” the chairman quickly said after Han Kun had left.

“I know,” Zhang Junlan said helplessly, looking at Yanran and adding, “But for Yanran, what’s an Immortal Artifact worth? As long as it can cure Yanran’s meridians, I’m willing to give him anything!”
