C166 (1/2)

Seeing that Zhou Tong and the other two had not made any moves, Young Master Yan was startled, and immediately frowned as he looked at Zhou Tong.

Zhou Tong slightly tilted his head at the same time, and his gaze lightly made contact with the other party for a moment. Then, as if nothing had happened, he turned his head away with no trace of fear on his face at all.

Zhou Tong's calm attitude caused the Young Master Yan to be stunned, but in his heart, he was enraged. With his current strength and prestige, he had not experienced this feeling of being looked down upon by others for a long time.

In the hall, those who had obtained the required medicinal ingredients did not leave, but looked with interest at Zhou Tong and Young Master Yan who were still seated on their chairs. Normally, the pill exchange event would only start at the end, which was the true climax.

”Hehe, next up is our Ten Directions Pavilion's batch of the highest quality medicinal ingredients. For these medicinal ingredients, our Ten Directions Pavilion has paid an enormous price.” Looking at the remaining jade boxes on the stone platform, White House Master smiled slightly, he patted his hands and a few servants quickly came out, after which they moved the remaining jade boxes away and brought five cold jade boxes over.

The five jade boxes had just appeared when a rich medicinal fragrance suddenly rippled across the large hall. Quite a number of alchemists gently inhaled and their faces revealed surprise.

Young Master Yan, who was leaning against his seat, stood up straight and stared at the jade boxes with a fiery gaze.

White House Master's beautiful eyes swept across the hall for a while, before stopping on Zhou Tong's body, and smiled: If any of you are interested in these five medicinal ingredients, please make your move.

Zhou Tong's gaze was currently fixated on two of the jade boxes. With his eyesight, he was naturally able to tell with a single glance that the two jade boxes were the two types of medicinal ingredients he was looking for.

Smiling without leaving a trace, Zhou Tong stood up under the everyone's gaze in the hall and walked over with large strides.

When they saw Zhou Tong's actions, all the gazes in the hall immediately gathered onto him. The quality of these few medicinal ingredients were extremely high, if they were to be exchanged for, they would probably need at least a fifth or even a sixth grade medicinal pill. Could this extremely young fellow take out such a high grade medicinal pill?

Under everyone's gazes, Zhou Tong stopped in front of the stone platform, and smiled towards the gentle and graceful White House Master, his hand slowly pulling two jade boxes in front of him, and smiled: ”White House Master, please tell me what kind of pills you want to exchange for these two medicinal ingredients, right?”

Hearing that, White House Master smiled sweetly and nodded slightly. Just as he was about to speak, his face changed slightly.

Just as his expression was changing, a large hand suddenly extended out from Zhou Tong and unceremoniously pressed onto one of the two jade boxes.

”This Cloud Lucid Ganoderma.” I'll take it! ”

Many people in the hall were startled by the sudden action that occurred in the middle of the hall. After they clearly saw the person who had extended his hand to stop Zhou Tong, their expressions changed to become somewhat interesting, and they looked at Zhou Tong with sympathy.

Zhou Tong stared at the Young Master Yan calmly, and laughed secretly in his heart: As expected, trouble cannot be avoided.

From the very beginning, when the five jade boxes were brought out, Zhou Tong had a feeling that the medicinal herb exchange would not go as smoothly as he had imagined.

Slightly turning his head, Zhou Tong looked at Young Master Yan behind him and frowned.

”Hehe, Young Master Yan, this Mister Mo Li is the first to make a move. Isn't it a bit against the rules for you to act like this? ” White House Master's heart sank when he saw Young Master Yan intervene. Immediately, his smile became a little forced as he said.

”What are the words of the White House Master? This is a place where people are bidding for, the highest bidders are the ones with the highest bids, which are the first to arrive?” Hearing this, the Young Master Yan said in a rather displeased manner.

Hearing his words, White House Master could only smile bitterly and nod his head. However, he secretly cursed in his heart: ”If you really want to pay a high price, then that would be great, but you are a shameless fellow.”

His gaze shifted, and stopped on Zhou Tong who was in front of him, as he politely said with a smile. ”Hehe, this friend here, this one is Yan Jinyuan, who is currently refining a medicinal pellet, and needs a stalk of 'Yun Lu Zhi'. So may I ask for your love, friend?”

Although Yan Jinyuan had said those words out loud to discuss, the big hand that was holding onto the jade box did not relax at all. Instead, it moved slightly towards him.

Hearing Yan Jinyuan's words, the people in the hall all looked at Zhou Tong with sympathy. This pitiful fellow was actually unlucky enough to compete with Yan Jinyuan, and in the Cloud Ascension City, who didn't know that what liked to do the most was to bully others.
