Chapter 173: Chapter 173

Seeing the names of the herbs given by Zhao Letian, the crowd of onlookers furrowed their brows; the vast majority of them had never even heard of these herbs, and even the well-informed among them, who by chance recognized one or two kinds, knew that these herbs were treasures without a price tag, utterly beyond their reach.

"Forget it, the herbs you want are too precious and rare, I don't have them. I won't take the elixir then. How many Primordial Stones for this pot of wine? Since you're willing to put it up for sale, it must be extraordinary, name your price." The High-level True Martial Realm powerhouse frowned in resignation, shook his head, and then pointed to the pot of Qingluo Wine.

"This wine is also not for sale, it can only be exchanged for the herbs I've listed." Zhao Letian shook his head with a smile.

"What? Kid, are you playing games with me? That elixir is incredibly precious, of course, it can be exchanged for the herbs you want, but what's this mere pot of wine in comparison, daring to be exchanged for those valuable herbs? You don't seriously think your pot of swill is comparable to Fengyue Building's fine brew, do you?" The High-level True Martial Realm powerhouse's face darkened at once.

"Exactly, the herbs you're asking for are all priceless, not even Fengyue Building's thousand-year-old cellar could necessarily get them, so what's this one pot worth?"

The crowd of onlookers erupted into a noisy debate.

"And how do you know that my wine is not as good as Fengyue Building's thousand-year-old cellar?" Zhao Letian replied indifferently with a smile, uncorked the wine pot, and let out a whiff of fragrance that captivated the heart and soul.

"It's simply nectar of the gods."

Inhaling the strong fragrance they had never experienced before, those who drank on the spot all showed faces of deep intoxication. Just this whiff made them feel like they were floating and yearned to stay drunk forever, never wanting to sober up.

"I'll take this pot of wine."

Just then, a crisp and pleasant voice resonated, very distinctive, with both the softness of a woman and a hint of a man's masculinity, giving off a spirited vibe.

Zhao Letian looked toward the voice and saw a woman about twenty years old, dressed in exquisite armor and draped in a large red war robe, with her hair tied back in a ponytail, holding a silver spear with a tall and straight figure, delicate and stunning features, heroic brows, and starry eyes.

This woman's temperament bore some resemblance to Luo Yao but was different. Luo Yao gave off the feeling of inner strength and an independent personality, but her appearance was still that of a delicate woman, while this woman before them exuded an aura of a heroine that did not pale in comparison to any men; even among men, her heroic bearing was outstanding.

"It's the Commandery Princess."

"Greetings to the Commandery Princess."

Seeing the woman approaching, everyone present showed a look of respect and bowed their heads to greet her.

"Commandery Princess?" Zhao Letian was stunned for a moment. Could this woman be the daughter of Lord War King?

"You don't recognize me?" The Commandery Princess in the red war robe approached, looking at Zhao Letian and asked, her eyes clear as water, full of vitality, evidently possessing the mighty cultivation of the High-level True Martial Realm.

Zhao Letian shook his head.

"Well then, you should get to know her. She is the precious daughter of Lord War King, the Commandery Princess of War King City, Ye Junrou. The Commandery Princess has distinguished military achievements and astonishing talent; she is the number one genius in War King City."

At this moment, a handsome young man in a white robe, shaking a folding fan, made his way through the crowd. He also possessed the cultivation of the High-level True Martial Realm, with an astonishing presence and a cynical smile on his face.

"It's the young master of Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, Shen Qing."

The surrounding crowd exclaimed once again.

"Commandery Princess Ye Junrou? The young master of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, Shen Qing?" Zhao Letian was slightly startled, firmly memorizing these two names.

Especially this Commandery Princess Ye Junrou, who was actually referred to by Shen Qing as the number one talent of War King City. This indicated that her strength must be extraordinary.

"Shen Qing, did I allow you to speak out of turn?" Ye Junrou frowned slightly without turning her head, her tone somewhat displeased.

"Commandery Princess, please calm your anger. As you know, I simply can't control my loose tongue. I definitely won't dare do it again next time." Facing the reproach of Ye Junrou, Shen Qing, despite being the young master of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, not only did he dare not show any resentment, but he even responded with a smile.

Shen Qing was considered one of the top talents in War King City, on par with Dong Chao of the Fengyue Building and Chen Feiyu of the Duel Arena. However, they were all somewhat inferior to Ye Junrou. The fact that a young woman held the title of the city's top talent was a pain that none of the young talents of the city could erase from their hearts. Fortunately, since Ye Junrou was the precious daughter of Lord War King and held the esteemed position of a Commandery Princess, this made them feel slightly more balanced. Losing to the Commandery Princess was nothing to complain about.

"How much medicinal material do you want to exchange for this pot of wine?" Commandery Princess Ye Junrou asked, no longer paying attention to Shen Qing, her gaze directed at Zhao Letian.

"Of course, the more, the better." Zhao Letian smiled faintly. He didn't know the specific value of the Qingluo Wine, but as long as the quantity of herbs offered was reasonable, he was willing to exchange.

"How about this, I have three types of medicinal herbs that you need. Will you exchange them for this pot of wine?" As she spoke, Ye Junrou took out several precious herbs brimming with Primordial Energy.

"Three types? That's acceptable," Zhao Letian pondered for a moment and then nodded. These herbs could be used to refine Second Grade Elixirs, they were extremely valuable and certainly worth the exchange for his Qingluo Wine.

"I'll also take these First Grade Tier Seven elixirs that can enhance one's cultivation." Ye Junrou passed the herbs to Zhao Letian, gripped the Qingluo Wine in her hand, and pointed to those First Grade Tier Seven elixirs.

After reaching the High-level True Martial Realm, elixirs that could enhance one's cultivation became very rare. Many people could only rely on cultivating with Primordial Stones. Even Ye Junrou, who held the title of Commandery Princess, greatly needed such elixirs to advance her cultivation.

"That's fine, as long as you have the medicinal herbs I need," Zhao Letian replied with a faint smile.

"But the medicinal herbs you need, I only have those three types, which I've already given to you. Could we exchange for something else?" Ye Junrou asked.

"No," Zhao Letian furrowed his brows, hesitated for a moment, then helplessly smiled and shook his head. Cоntеnt prеsеntеd by МV|LЕМР|YR.

There was a collective gasp from the crowd. They secretly thought that Zhao Letian was too tactless, missing such a good opportunity to curry favor with the Commandery Princess. Instead, he had refused her offer, which was exceedingly foolish.

"If that's the case, then forget it," Ye Junrou said, slightly surprised as if she hadn't expected the young man before her to refuse. But soon after, she shifted her gaze away from Zhao Letian and turned to leave.

As she left, Ye Junrou immediately opened the jug and took a big gulp, showing great boldness. The wine that spilled flowed down her fair neck, creating a stunningly beautiful scene that captivated the onlookers.

"Commandery Princess, please wait, I just happen to have a few more types of herbs that he needs and am willing to offer them to the Commandery Princess," Shen Qing suddenly spoke up.

"Oh? Then I thank you, Young Master Shen," Ye Junrou replied, continuing to walk away without looking back.

"To be able to serve the Commandery Princess is Shen Qing's honor," Shen Qing said with an indifferent smile, unconcerned by the Commandery Princess's cold demeanor. The fact that the Commandery Princess accepted his offer was his honor.
