Seeing that Xiangyu was getting better, Chen Xiaobei went ahead and clicked on the Red Envelope Group.
Chen Xiaobei: I want to buy Three-star Divine Medicine, a Five-colored Magnolia! I need it to save someone’s life! (Urgent! Urgent! Urgent! @Shennong @Hundred-Herb God)
Hundred-Herb God: Erm… I don’t have it with me…
Monkey King: F*ck you! Stop lying! You are currently taking care of the Hundred-Herb Garden! Now, when God Chen is asking you to bring him a Three-star Divine Medicine, you dare say you don’t have it with you?
Hundred-Herb God: Monkey King, plese don’t get angry at me… It’s true that I don’t have it with me!
Chen Xiaobei: Bro… It’s okay… Let’s not force him…
Hundred-Herb God was one of the officers in the heavenly realm. The Jade Emperor, together with the Queen Mother were under Primordial Lord of Heaven. In other words, even if he did have the Five-colored Magnolia with him, he would not sell or give it to Chen Xiaobei. Clearly, he could not afford to offend Chen XIaobei or anger Shen Gongpao. Being stuck on a fence, he chose to not side with anyone.
Monkey King: @Shennong. Come out now! I saw you reading the chat just now! Don’t try to hide from us!
Shennong: Cough… Cough… I’m old… That’s why my reaction is a tad bit slow… Please don’t get angry at me…
Chen Xiaobei: Elder Shennong… Do you have the Five-colored Magnolia with you?
Shennong: Yes… But…
Monkey King: But what…? Just speak your mind already! Don’t waste our time! Xiaobei needs it to save someone’s life!
Shennong: I have it with me right now but it is extremely expensive! I’m selling it for three million merit points!
“Damn! He is clearly trying to rob all of my merit points! Not even the most cunning businessman would do something like this!” Chen Xiaobei said, clearly very shocked.
Earlier, Chen Xiaobei had already expected that Shennong would come up with a ridiculous price. Clearly, someone was trying to clean out all the merit points that Chen Xiaobei possessed.
“Luckily Acheron gave me a free antidote! If not, I would have been left penniless!”
Deep inside his heart, he was glad that someone gave him something worth a whopping three million merit points.
Monkey King: Shennong, you old man! Are you crazy?! That’s just a Three-star Divine Medicine and you are selling it for three million merit points?! Why don’t you go and rob a bank?! Hold on… You can’t even rob that much off a bank!
At that moment, no one dared say a single word about it. On one side were Jieism’s disciples and the other side were Chanism’s disciples. Everyone was just minding their own business. Monkey King was the only exception in the group. With Lady Nuwo and Lord Zhunti backing him up, he could be considered as one of the bravest members in the group. No one in their right mind would criticize Shennong in front of everyone.
Shennnong: Monkey King… You misunderstood my intention… I’m not the one who set this price…
Monkey King: This is your belonging… Who else has the right to set the price for you?!
Chen Xiaobei: Bro… I think Old Shennong is telling the truth here! The total merit points that I have right now is three million! Clearly, someone has taken a peek at the merit points book before setting this price. And we all know who the person is!
Shen Gongpao: You are right! I’m the one that set the price! Are you going to say something about it?
Chen Xiaobei: It’s too expensive! I’ll try to figure some other ways to save my friend!
Shen Gongpao: So, you think it’s expensive? Beg me then! Maybe, I’ll give you a 20% discount!
Chen Xiaobei: No thanks! You can keep it for yourself!
Shen Gongpao: Aren’t you going to save your friend?
Chen Xiaobei: I’ll figure something out myself! I will never spend three million merit points to buy your medicine!
Shen Gongpao: There’s no time for you to figure out a way to save your friend! How about… I sell it to you for two million merit points?
Chen Xiaobei: Psst! I will not buy it from you even if you reduce the price to 200,000 merit points!
Shen Gongpao: Chen Xiaobei! Are you going to buy from me or not?! I see it now! I see you are trying to make a fool out of me!
Chen Xiaobei: I was going to buy it from you just now! But, you wanted to sell it to me at a ridiculous price tag! That’s why I will never buy it from you unless, you come over here and beg me! Then, I might consider buying it from you for 100,000 merit points!
Shen Gongpao: Beg you?! And only 100,000 merit points?! Who do you think you are?
Chen Xiaobei: Up to you then! Hehe!
Shen Gongpao: You!!!
Yun Zhongzi: Shen Gongpao, stop arguing here! The new candidate for the Three Realms Mission has been chosen! Go and deal with it quickly!
“Yun Zhongzi?! His position is slightly less powerful than the Primordial Lord of Heaven! And he is known as the one of the three vice sect-leaders of Chanism!”
Shen Gongpao: Yes! Let me go and deal with it immediately!
Yun Zhongzi: And! You have to take care of the Chinese Chess Competition as well! The reward which would be given out this time is more valuable than you can imagine! You. Must. Deal. With. It. Properly!
Shen Gongpao: Understood!
“Something weird is going on here! The last time, Shen Gongpao mentioned that the candidate for the Three Realms Mission would be chosen from the underworld realm! And why did Yun Zhongzi stick his nose in the Chinese Chess Competition?! Could these two matters be actually related?
Seeing that Yun Zhongzi had suddenly popped up in the group, Chen Xiaobei suspected that something nasty was going on behind the scenes. Due to the fact that he still could not find any information regarding this matter, there was no way for Chen Xiaobei to take a guess of their evil plan.
“Hold on! Sifu told me that I can go and ask Acheron about things like this if he didn’t reply my message! Acheron used to be the ruler of underworld realm! I’m pretty sure that he can help me in this matter!”
Immediately, Chen Xiaobei sent a message to Acheron. Just as expected, Acheron was always available. Seconds later, he replied Chen Xiaobei’s message.
Acheron: God Chen, you want to know who is being selected to complete the Three Realms Mission?
Chen Xiaobei: Yes! And I want to know their special abilities and the items that they brought with them!
Acheron: I can go check out the candidate. As for the others, you have to leave them to your luck!
Chen Xiaobei: Alright! I will wait here then…
“I feel like this Three Realms Mission is not as simple as I thought it would be… I really hope that Acheron can find out more about this matter… With that, I can be prepared to deal with any surprises! After all, I’m still not powerful enough! I wouldn’t have to worry about anything if my cultivation is soaring high! I really have to figure out something to boost my cultivation!”
“Bro Bei! I have fed all those victims the antidote that you gave me… All the tumors on their bodies are slowly disappearing but their newly acquired powers are still with them!” said Yin Wuqiu while walking towards Chen Xiaobei.
“Newly acquired powesr?”
Taken aback, Chen Xiaobei shot a look at Xiangyu.
Ding!
[Cultivation: Early phase of Celestial cultivation. Lifespan: 303 years. Health: 90,000. Combat power: 70,000!]
“Eh?! Bro Yu’s health has increased by 20,000! Is that caused by the biochemical drug?!”
“That should be the case… all those victims look exactly like wild beasts! Their health points are way higher than ordinary elites!”
“If that’s the case… Maybe, I should transform myself into Bionic Soldier as well…” said Chen Xiaobei with a smirk on his face.
