Chapter 365 I Alone Am Enough
Such an ordinary dagger, he did not even consider it worth his attention.
Upon hearing this, the old man snorted coldly, remained silent, and sat down.
Ye Lingqing cleared his throat and spoke.
"How about this! I'll narrow down the range for everyone."
"I need treasures of heaven and earth!"
"And moreover, these treasures must be over a hundred years old!" Ye Ling said slowly.
Treasures of heaven and earth?
These words instantly came to mind for everyone present.
They were all crafty individuals seasoned by age, naturally familiar with the term.
"Young friend, I have a ten-thousand-year-old Ganoderma here!"
Suddenly, an old man sitting in the front row stood up.
"Ten-thousand-year-old Ganoderma?"
Upon hearing these words, everyone's expressions changed instantly, filled with astonishment.
"Indeed, a ten-thousand-year-old Ganoderma!"
The old man nodded emphatically.
Ye Ling blinked in surprise but soon smiled.
Ten-thousand-year-old Ganoderma?
This was not something ordinary people would possess, and even some supreme powers could hardly find it.
Moreover, not even all of the supreme powers might have it.
"I wonder what the quality of this ten-thousand-year-old Ganoderma is like?"
"If it's too shoddy, I might not sell it," Ye Ling said indifferently.
"As for the quality of the ten-thousand-year-old Ganoderma, I do not know, but this Ganoderma was something I serendipitously discovered within an ancient ruin."
"I think it should be sufficient to satisfy the young friend," the old man said with a slight smile.
Ye Ling narrowed his eyes slightly and looked toward the old man, his heart filled with secret joy.
"If the elderly gentleman isn't deceiving me, then this ten-thousand-year-old Ganoderma is indeed extraordinary," Ye Ling said with a smile, nodding.
The old man, hearing Ye Ling's praise, also showed a radiant smile on his face.
"In that case, let's talk about the transaction," Ye Ling said with a smile.
"The price of this ten-thousand-year-old Ganoderma can be said to far exceed that of a top-grade elixir from you!"
"How about this—my ten-thousand-year-old Ganoderma for two of your top-grade elixirs, what do you say?" the old man said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the people around them changed instantly.
No one expected the old man to ask for such an exorbitant price.
Although the ten-thousand-year-old Ganoderma was hard to find, it was definitely not worth two top-grade elixirs.
"Damn, this old guy is really greedy!"
"He actually wants to swindle this kid out of two top-grade elixirs, utterly despicable."
"This kid too, such a good item, why doesn't he take it."
"This ten-thousand-year-old Ganoderma is truly extraordinary, I think this old man doesn't seem like he's lying, it must be real."
Ye Ling's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the old man.
After a long while, Ye Ling shook his head.
"Your appetite might be a bit too big, don't you think?"
"I only have two of these top-grade elixirs."
"Moreover, they were acquired by me through special means, and I have no intention of selling them again."
"If you are not satisfied, you might try another method."
Upon hearing this, the old man's face immediately darkened.
This kid, truly a master at being outrageously demanding!
Two elixirs and he wants to haggle with him!
The old man took a deep breath and snorted coldly.
"If you're not willing, then forget it; I'm not buying the elixirs!"
Having said this, the old man stood up and left.
And those guests who saw this scene simply shook their heads and sighed.
"What a pity!"
"Although this ten-thousand-year-old Ganoderma is rare, it's of no use to us."
"Moreover, a ten-thousand-year-old Ganoderma can't be compared to merely a single grade-one elixir."
The crowd felt regretful and at the same time, the looks they gave Ye Ling had turned somewhat strange.
"I also have a Ganoderma, just that its age is slightly inferior, only a thousand years!"
"If sir doesn't disdain it, I'm willing to make an exchange!"
At the side, a lady clad in red slowly stood up and spoke softly.
She was beautiful, with a graceful figure, and a faint smile on her face. Her beautiful eyes were looking straight at Ye Ling.
Ye Ling was slightly startled, not expecting someone else to offer a Ganoderma for his grade-one elixir.
"May I take a look?" Ye Ling asked with a smile.
The lady in red smiled slightly and handed a jade box to Ye Ling.
As the jade box opened, a rich medicinal fragrance instantly wafted out, causing the surrounding people to involuntarily swallow their saliva.
"Is this a thousand-year Ganoderma?" Ye Ling's eyes twinkled.
"Yes!"
The lady in red smiled gently and then said, "This Ganoderma is born of an ancient spiritual flower and contains a strong essence of life. If consumed, it can help a cultivator recover from injuries, and it also has the effect of prolonging life!"
Ye Ling nodded and then stowed the jade box, "Alright, I'll exchange with you!"
After speaking, he looked toward Li Qing, who understood his intent and approached the lady in red.
He put the grade-one elixir into a jade bottle and handed it over.
"Pleasure doing business!"
The lady in red smiled delicately, then lightly stepped down and slowly left.
At that moment, Li Qing returned to the stage and announced to everyone, "Ladies and gentlemen, the auction is now over!"
The crowd got up and started to leave, and before long, the large hall was left with only Ye Ling, Li Qing, and their company.
"Sir, that ten-thousand-year Ganoderma was very valuable. Why didn't you keep it?" Li Qing asked with some surprise.
Ye Ling just smiled and did not speak.
Liu Qingyun waved his hand and said to Li Qing.
"You go ahead with your tasks! I'll have a chat with Mister Ye."
After Li Qing left, Liu Qingyun stepped forward and whispered to Ye Ling.

"Northern Liao King, would you like me to send someone to escort you?"
"After all, many powers know that you have a grade-one elixir on your person!"
"It's okay!"
"I alone am sufficient!"
"Well then, take care on your journey, Northern Liao King!"
Ye Ling nonchalantly waved his hand and turned to leave.
Night fell, and Ye Ling walked alone on a desolate path.
Walking boldly and even humming an unknown tune, his spiritual power wildly expanded outward at that moment. Barely a short distance from him, he had already sensed several hidden presences.
"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect my grade-one elixir to be so coveted!"
Putting those thoughts aside, Ye Ling sped up his pace a bit.
In this auction, he had acquired an inner core from a nine-headed python and a thousand-year Ganoderma.
It seemed about time to attempt concocting a grade-two elixir!
With this in mind, a beautiful arc formed on the corners of Ye Ling's mouth.
But at that moment, a figure appeared in front of him—it was the old man from before!
"What's the matter? Something I can help with?"
Ye Ling stopped in his tracks and looked at the old man with a smile.
The old man took a deep breath, his expression darkening.
"Kid, if you know what's good for you, hand over that grade-one elixir!"
"I'll spare your life if you do!"
The old man said through clenched teeth, his eyes filled with anger.
Ye Ling turned up his lip, ignoring him.
