Originally, Du Ruo planned to give the first place reward to the winner after the victory was decided, but Bing Hai's appearance yesterday was so sudden that by the time Du Ruo remembered this, Long Xiangtian had already left.
Since the real owner had left, Du Ruo did not mention the matter again. However, early the next morning, he sent a storage ring to Long Xiangtian and repeatedly told Long Xiangtian to take it as soon as possible.
Long Xiangtian took the ring with a look of surprise. He only took part in the competition because Du Ruo forced him to do so. He didn't expect that he would receive a reward after winning.
After Long Xiangtian took out the ring, he was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that what Du Ruo prepared for him was actually a pill, an earth-grade pill.
Not only that, it was actually a high-grade earth-level elixir. Long Xiangtian was surprised by the generosity of the academy. Long Xiangtian had just taken out the box that stored the elixir, and before he opened the box, the fragrance of the elixir could not be suppressed from coming out of the sandalwood box, filling the entire dormitory.
The little fat boy had a very sensitive nose. He sniffed the faint fragrance and rushed over: "Boss, where does the fragrance of the earth-level elixir come from?"
Seeing the little fat boy's excitement, Long Xiangtian said unhappily, "How do you know it's the scent of an earth-grade elixir?"
The little fat boy replied to Long Xiangtian with a proud look on his face: "My father gave me a lot of it when I was at home, so I can guess it by smelling the aroma now."
Now, Long Xiangtian deeply felt what the gap between the rich and the poor was. He had worked so hard and fought bloody battles with wounds all over his body to get an earth-grade elixir. He didn't expect that the little fat man would eat it so often. The children of big families were really extravagant.
"Then your cultivation is still so low." Long Xiangtian decided not to ask the little fat boy such hurtful questions in the future, but he still spoke to the little fat boy in a teaching tone.
"It's not my fault. Those elixirs are not all for increasing profound strength." The little fat man saw that Long Xiangtian was lecturing him again, and immediately changed the subject: "Boss, Boss, where did you get the earth-grade elixir?"
"Teacher Du Ruo sent it to me, saying it was the reward for my winning the championship." Long Xiangtian answered nonchalantly.
Although Long Xiangtian was nonchalant, the little fat man was a little surprised when he heard the answer: "Boss, your reward this time is quite generous."
"What do you mean?"
"I remember that the previous rewards were always mid-grade earth-level elixirs. How come they have become genuine high-grade earth-level elixirs from you?" Although the little fat man was confused, he didn't care too much. He thought that the rewards this year had changed.
Long Xiangtian lowered his head and pondered. Although there is only a difference of two words between the middle-grade earth-level elixir and the high-grade earth-level elixir, there is a huge difference between the two in terms of value and medicinal power.
Judging from the appearance alone, there are only two danwen on the middle-grade earth-level elixir, while the high-grade has three. Although Long Xiangtian didn't know much about elixirs, he had heard of the description of earth-level elixirs circulated among alchemists, which is one danwen for one heaven and one earth.
Although it may be a bit exaggerated, it is enough to prove how huge the gap between the dan patterns is.
Long Xiangtian also felt that the reward of high-grade earth-grade elixir was a bit too high before, but he thought that the martial arts academy was just so generous. But now he heard from the fat man that it was not the case. Then what was the reason that made him so special? Long Xiangtian suddenly thought of Du Ruo and had a vague guess in his mind.
Long Xiangtian took out the pill and looked at it himself. He found that the pill was only the size of a small stone. It was emerald green all over. Three green lines were faintly visible on the pill, indicating that it was a high-quality earth-grade pill.
"Little Fatty, do you know what kind of medicine this is?" Long Xiangtian didn't know much about medicine, so he asked the little fat man.
The little fat man took the pill handed over by Long Xiangtian, examined it carefully, and said to Long Xiangtian hesitantly: "I have never eaten this pill, but I seem to have seen it before."
"I remember that my father once gave a subordinate a pill that was very similar to this one. It seemed to be used to consolidate cultivation. I'm not sure."
Long Xiangtian was a little disappointed when he saw that the fat boy didn't know either, but he thought that Du Ruo would not harm him, so if it didn't work, he would just swallow it.
But before Long Xiangtian could speak, the little fat man spoke again: "Boss, although I don't know, I know someone who will know."
"What?"
"Treasure Hunting Building."
Long Xiangtian also knew what the fat man was talking about. If Hua Ge, owned by Long Xiangtian, was the most popular and famous restaurant in the entire Jiutian City, then Xunbao Tower could be said to be the oldest store in the entire Jiutian City.
The Treasure Hunting Building is just a small pawnshop, but it has been preserved throughout the turbulent times in Jiutian City, and its history is even comparable to that of the Martial Arts Academy.
Many people were curious about Xunbaolou, but in the end, all their attempts were fruitless. Xunbaolou was not a big shop, and it had never expanded. Even the shop was rarely decorated, but no one would underestimate it because of this.
Because it claims that there is nothing it dares not collect and nothing it cannot collect. Although its words are arrogant, it has never said anything wrong.
The fat man was willing to let Long Xiangtian go to the Treasure Hunting House because it was a shop after all, and there were naturally appraisers with extraordinary knowledge in it. There was no reason why the appraisers in the Treasure Hunting House would not recognize things like high-quality earth-grade elixirs.
Moreover, after Long Xiangtian went to appraise it, he could say that he no longer wanted to be the boss. After all, Xunbaolou is open for business and cannot force others. It is a bit of a trick to say that.
Actually, the fat man had his own plan for asking Long Xiangtian to go to the Treasure Hunting Tower. He heard that an appreciation meeting was held in the Treasure Hunting Tower, and he really wanted to join in the fun. Otherwise, he could just ask Long Xiangtian to ask seniors like Bai Lao.
Long Xiangtian didn't want to make another special trip for this matter, but when he heard the fat man talking about the appreciation meeting, he suddenly became interested: "What appreciation meeting?"
Speaking of the appreciation meeting, the little fat man became interested: "Boss, although it is an appreciation meeting, it is also the largest trading venue in Jiutian City."
"The Treasure Hunting Building is open to the public. As long as some treasure holders pay a fee, they can bring out their treasures for everyone to appreciate. Of course, as long as you agree, no one will interfere with the transaction."
"Boss, you have to know that there will be a lot of rare and strange treasures from all over the continent. It's so fun. Maybe we can find treasures and make a fortune. Even if not, it's good to go and take a look." The little fat man became more and more excited as he spoke, his face full of smiles and longing.
