BXBX NOVEL Chapter 106 A Fight Because Of A Plant
"I\'m telling you, I don\'t know what this is, but I am sure this isn\'t only a Forest Eucalyptus! Could you please just buy it from me for just fifty spirit coins, please!" The woman pleaded to the man.
Matthias furrowed his brows while looking at them. There was a small change with Qin\'s currency, going from copper, silver, gold, there was the additional imperial gold, with one imperial gold reaching the value of a hundred gold coins. But spirit coins are a whole different matter that just one coin could reach the value of 10 imperial gold coins.
Spirit coins have pure spirit energy inside them, making them extremely valuable for cultivators and array masters. Pricing something unknown with a price of fifty spirit coins is just absurd.
Out of curiosity, he scanned the plant that the woman was holding. Then, his eyes slowly expressed shock. Just like what the man behind the counter said, the plant really was just a Forest Eucalyptus, a eucalyptus plant that is darker and has small white stripes below the leaves.
The woman, though, was also right, as the plant really wasn\'t just a ten-year-old one and instead, it was a nine hundred thousand years old one. A nine hundred thousand years old Forest Eucalyptus has a small amount of essence of the Primal Earth inside them.
But, just that wouldn\'t be able to make Matthias express the reaction of shock, as he could produce a lot of those so-called Primal Earth Energy, not to mention those plants.
Instead, it was the plant\'s root that made him shaken to the core. It was filled with an energy that was almost impossible to be encountered according to his recent scanning with his immortal soul.
Although impossibly rare, Matthias wasn\'t a stranger to this energy, for he himself wields it— Creation Energy!
Inside were also a variation of different primordial energies like Chaos and Life energy, Primordial Nature, and Spatial Energy.
Because of that, Matthias walked towards the woman. Extending his hand, he tapped her.
Isabelle still wanted to persuade the dealer to buy the mysterious plant that she harvested deep within the Western Forests. Suddenly, out of nowhere, Someone tapped her shoulders.
"!!!" She abruptly turned around and placed her hand on the hilt of her sword on her waist. She was prepared to unsheath it, but she was still very cautious.
She ventured the deep Western Forests without dying with her powerful Soul King Rank Cultivation. Although she wouldn\'t be a match against the Domain Lord of the Western Forest under the Beast Emperor, she would still be able to survive with her powerful instincts.
But she didn\'t even feel when the man walked near her. That raised the tension inside her soul and made her hair stand on its ends.
"W-Who are you?" She asked, stammering.
The man laughed, "Haha, do not worry, lady. I mean no harm."
Even when he said that, Isabelle still didn\'t lower her guard, "Then, what do you want?"
"That plant."
"E-Excuse me?" She gaped her mouth. "Why do you want this plant? Do you know what it is?" She asked curiously.
"A Forest Eucalyptus." The man answered seriously.
"I told you, this isn\'t just a Forest Eucalyptus! There\'s something strange with this! I have been dealing with Forest Eucalyptus for a long time now that I know its smell and feel!" She whined. "This definitely is not a Forest Eucalyptus!"
"I told you missy. It isn\'t any special." The man behind the counter consoled her. Her high expectations would be crushed.
"No, no." She shook her head repeatedly. She was not resigned to the results. "This is not a Forest Eucalyptus."
"It is—" Matthias sighed and repeated what he said.
"It isn\'t!" She yelled. Her aura erupted, shaking the whole commerce.
The people inside were pressed to the ground because of the pressure, while Matthias was still standing erect without being least affected by the aura.
"S-Soul King Rank Cultivation!" The man behind the counter stammered with fear.
Looking at her, Matthias sighed and shook his head, "You didn\'t let me finish, Miss. Your beauty is astounding. I hope you could use your brain just as well as your cultivation."
He then waved his hand and dispersed the heavy aura on the surroundings, removing the pressure bearing down on the staff and the customers.
Matthias then waved his hand once more, and from his hand, spirit coins scattered throughout the commerce, "This is the compensation for what this lady created. One spirit coin per person."
Seeing the spirit coins, the people were filled with exhilaration. A lot left and started a life of their own.
"Thank you, Benefactor!"
An airheaded thug then thought of something and smiled maliciously. He then shouted, "This isn\'t enough! I want five spirit coins for the spiritual damage!"
When the thug said that, the people that were left suddenly had the same idea. Some stepped up and also demanded the same thing.
"Yeah! It isn\'t enough!"
In total, seven more stepped forward and demanded more.
Hearing them, Matthias just looked at them with a sharp cold glint. Suddenly, the thug and the other seven slumped to the ground while bleeding in their seven orifices.
The people who saw that and had the same plan suddenly felt a chill in their spine. "Who else wants to demand more?"
No one spoke. Matthias smiled and retrieved the eight spirit coins from the corpse, "Saves me eight coins."
He then turned around and looked at Isabelle who was now looking at him while cowering at the corner, pale. "Hey, hey now." He was sad. Seeing a woman gaze with fear on a man who literally killed eight people soundlessly was definitely expected.
"O-Oh." Still, being a Soul King Rank Expert, Isabelle could adjust herself easily. "Sorry about that."
He waved his hands and said to her, "No problems. It\'s expected. I can see that you are only a mercenary that deals with spirit beasts and hasn\'t seen a ruthless massacre of humans."
One of the remaining people who had the bravery to stay went to the corpses and checked their bodies. As he was checking, he paled and paled after each and every corpse he checked.
"Oh Great Immortals from above.." He cowered in fear as he backed away from the corpses, "Their innards.. are utterly destroyed, mushed."
