C2146 Push the Boat with the Water

"Little brother, what are you trying to do …" Looking at Lin Bai's appearance, the bearded man couldn't help but shake his head repeatedly. He really couldn't understand why Lin Bai was so stubborn, even though he already knew that the person selling the medicine was an old swindler, but he was still ridiculed by so many people.

Did this little brother have something that was hard to say, or was it because of the words of the people around him, that made him want to fight?!

"Old man, have you considered it yet?" He looked at the old swindler and said, "As long as the effects of this medicine are as this old man says, we can discuss the price. Even if you add a few more prices, I still have no problem."

Others might not know the value of this pill, but Lin Bai was very clear that if he could obtain the pill formula and trade the ingredients for it, he would definitely be able to find someone to refine a pill that could multiply his cultivation base several times over a period of time. No matter how much he spent, it was worth it!

Even though he was able to see the essence of the pill with the help of the Origin Energy, he was able to figure out what the pill was made of. However, for matters like pills, every single type of medicine was extremely valuable. Only with exquisite coordination would one be able to bring out the best of the medicine's potency.

The ingredients for all kinds of medicine were the product of many people exhausting their blood and sweat. If they were to use their own knowledge of the ingredients, they might not even be able to produce a single pill after dozens of years.

He didn't even know a thing or two about dan beads. If he just played around like that, the dan beads he made would not only be ineffective, they might even take his life.

The reason why he was acting like this right now was because he wanted to find out exactly how much this old liar knew about the pills. He wanted to see if he understood how precious the pills were or if they were fake.

Needless to say, after being tossed around by Lin Bai, the old swindler started mumbling to himself. Although his smile was still plastered on his face, his mind was filled with countless thoughts. Right now, he truly didn't know whether Lin Bai had figured out the true secrets behind his pill or whether it was simply because it would cause others to be moved by it.

However, other than him, only one other person knew about this pill. How could this brat see through the secret so easily? The old swindler guessed that Lin Bai's urgent request for the pill formula was probably due to another reason.

It was such a pity that a young man like him had to take medicine to improve his natural ability after suffering from such a deficiency of yang energy! Furthermore, he was just a little bit away from making her think that he had discovered the secret of this pill.

"I'm sorry, this pill is a secret recipe that my ancestors passed down to me. Although I am already at the end of my life, I still want to wait to pass this recipe down to my disciple so he can have something to do." After thinking for a long time, a crafty look flashed across the old swindler's eyes. Then, he shook his head and rejected Lin Bai's suggestion.

This old thing definitely knew all about the matters regarding the pills, which was why he was unwilling to give the pill formula to him! If he was truly muddle-headed and wanted to use this pill to cheat others, he could make use of this opportunity to earn a large sum of money.

It seemed like he had to think of another way. He only wanted to use money to get the pill formulas out of the old scumbag's hands. He probably wouldn't even have a sliver of hope. After hearing the old swindler's words, Lin Bai immediately understood what the old swindler was thinking.

"Sigh, since you are unwilling to sell it, then forget it. "However, please remember my words. In the future, whenever there is such a medicinal pellet, you must give it to me. I am extremely powerful when it comes to this kind of medicinal pellet."

This young man did not know what was valuable, but he had always cried for nothing! Upon hearing Lin Bai's words, the bystanders laughed lightly with a mischievous expression on their faces, thinking that Lin Bai had been emptied out by the alcohol and beauties earlier on.

"Don't worry. As long as this Broken Ruins City opens once, I will come again!" When the old swindler heard this, he also nodded repeatedly. Although the smile on his face was somewhat forced, there was still some hope within his eyes.

Moreover, the pills he concocted were limited by the materials and the effects were even worse. These few times in the Ruins Market, he had already been treated as a complete fraud by the participants in the transaction, even though he had not yet crossed the street and had not reached the point where everyone was shouting for him, the difference between the two was still very great. During the first time, he was still able to sell most of the pills, but the second time, he did not even take out a single bottle.

Other than refining the pills, he needed to further perfect the effectiveness of the pills. Now that he could not sell them out, without anyone testing the effects of the pills, he could not be more anxious. It was such an easy thing to expect this little white mouse to jump out and willingly test his medicine. How could Lin Bai not be happy?

Although the pill was still a bright pearl covered in dust, there were still many people who tried to test it, which made them feel slightly relieved.

"Old senior is indeed straightforward. Then let's just settle it like this. In the future, old senior, I want as many pills as you have!" Lin Bai snickered upon hearing this. It was as if he had met an old friend and was shaking the old swindler's hand fervently.

The old swindler was carrying a ghost, how could he not be one as well? What the old swindler did not know was that Lin Bai would not even touch these pills. The reason why he'd set up a long-term deal with this old swindler was because he wanted to get closer to this old swindler and test out his background.

"There's also this medicine bottle. Old senior, you should take it a bit more seriously. I also like this sort of thing. The more the better." After storing all the medicinal pills, Lin Bai chuckled as he added another sentence.

"Good, good, good …" The old liar nodded his head and said with a smile, "Leave everything to me!"

Brat, even if you can see that the medicine bottle is strange, so what? Since you don't understand the secrets of the pills, don't blame me for taking you for a fool. If you want to learn the secrets from me, then you can just daydream. Even if you're like a ghost, you still have to obediently drink my foot wash. Next time, I'll definitely add some ingredients to this pill.

Just like this, the two foxes, one old and one young, under the cover of chatting and laughing, each with ulterior motives, unveiled the first time in their lives that they were ever together. But at this very moment, no matter which one of them it was, neither of them could have imagined that in the years to come, the other would bring about such a great change in their lives.

"Look at the money, little brother, shouldn't we also forget about it?" Clenching his hands tightly, the old swindler's eyeballs rolled in his eye sockets. He laughed at Lin Bai, revealing a greedy expression as he chuckled.

"Look at me, my memory is really bad. If it wasn't for what senior said, I would have forgotten." Hearing this, Lin Bai laughed heartily and fished out a stack of bank promissory notes from his pocket. He tore a piece off it, wrote down the numbers, and waved them in front of the old swindler. Without waiting for the old swindler to extend his hand to take it, he casually passed it to the fully bearded man beside him.

Long ago, Lin Bai was already not used to using his bank card and cash to trade. There was too much cash, and the bank card could easily expose his personal information. Thus, a long time ago, Lin Bai had opened up a separate account for him and swapped out a stack of bank promissory notes.

F * ck, this kid is so wealthy! After Lin Bai took out the stack of bank promissory notes, the onlookers in the surroundings sucked in a breath of cold air. Although they had already seen many rich and powerful people in the Ruins Market before, it was still the first time that they saw someone like Lin Bai, who treated promissory notes like toilet paper.

However, these people did not know that along with the increase of his cultivation, the so-called money of the secular world was no longer of any use to Lin Bai. Besides eating and having fun, it was nothing more than a pile of scrap paper. Moreover, based on his accumulated wealth, he had long since reached a level where it would make countless people look up to him. This stack of promissory notes was but a drop in the ocean.

"Little brother, you …" Seeing that the promissory note was handed to him, the bearded man was stunned for a moment before the corner of his eye twitched. Without any hesitation, he took the promissory note and cupped his fist. "Thank you!"

"Brat, you're playing dirty with me!" The old liar watched Lin Bai pass the bank note into the bearded man's hand, then was shoved into his pocket. Obviously, he had no way of getting it back, and the old swindler immediately became angry and stomped his feet in anger, wishing that Lin Bai could rush up to the bearded man and snatch the note from his pocket.

Others might not know the value of medicinal pellets, but he was very clear which of the medicinal pellets in those bottles were not made from the most valuable raw materials. Even if it was 500,000 yuan, it wouldn't even be able to return to Ben. If it weren't for the fact that no one else was buying his pills, how could he have gotten Lin Bai to buy them all at the price of five hundred thousand gold coins as if he were cutting meat?

But now, with only 500,000 yuan left, Lin Bai stuffed it into the bearded man's mouth. How could this not make him angry?

"Senior's words are wrong. I remember that you said that you planned to sell the pill and return the money to this brother of yours. Right now, I am just going with the flow and do personal favors for you. Furthermore, we will continue to interact with them in the future. Senior's words are truly chilling! "

That's right! Looking at the old swindler's flustered appearance, Lin Bai was secretly delighted in his heart. However, he pretended to be stunned as he spoke.
