Chapter 397 - Cultivating Earth Treasures? (1/2)
It was inside a container 300 li away.
“Poof…”
The skinny man had just been comforted and then sat down. Now, he suddenly jerked up and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth.
“My three Earth Treasures; my fiery fruit!”
“Aargh!!… I’ll kill you!”
He shouted with a pair of bloodshot eyes. He directly jumped and was about to rush out of the container.
Beside him, the middle-aged man and the fat guy looked at each other in blankness.
They did not expect the coming guy to be so capable. Indeed, they had got away, but without any of their Earth Treasures!
However, now was not the time to expose themselves.
The two people hurriedly chased to stop him.
“The third oldest, stop!”
The middle-aged man directly pushed the skinny man down onto the ground, saying, “Did you forget what I just told you? Even if the three of us fight him together, we can’t rival him. And you must know that it takes no ordinary people to beat the three guardian beasts. If you just rush out like this, don’t you think your and your brothers’ lives will be put at risk?”
“Eldest brother.”
The skinny man shouted out loud and said with a pair of bloodshot eyes, “I, I can’t take this lying down. I’ve been waiting for so long to get those Earth Treasures. That’s fiery fruit! Perhaps I’ll break through to seventh-class after eating it. He’s ending my career. I’ll kill him!”
“Look at the big picture!”
The middle-aged man reached out both hands to press them on the skinny man’s shoulders, saying with a solemn face, “For now, we don’t mess with him. We have to endure. Someday, I’ll seek revenge for you!”
“Aargh!!!”
The skinny man roared into the sky. “John Doe, I’m telling you that I won’t allow myself to live anymore if I don’t get back at you!”
On the snow-capped mountain, the large monkey’s butt was stuffed inside a round hole in the ground. The feathers on the huge eagle’s tail had all been plucked out; it was hung in a tree, looking feebly. The giant lizard spread his four feet and opened its mouth wide, with its tongue tilting to one side.
The three fierce beasts had been black and blue from the battering.
Initially, Fang Qiu wanted to provoke the three beasts more, to see if they would run into the next mountain, leading him to the next Earth Treasure.
However, he waited and waited, staring at them for half an hour.
It turned out that he found that the three ferocious beats had been miserably hugging together, not intending to run anymore.
It looked like there was none left.
Fang Qiu touched his chin and thought.
But then again, Earth Treasures were not mushrooms in the mountains; you could not just pick some if you wanted to eat them.
Nevertheless, having brutally battering the three fierce beasts, Fang Qiu toured the surrounding snow-capped mountains again. After confirming there were no other Earth Treasures, then, he climbed all the way to the mountains at higher places. In the end, he climbed over the Himalayas and returned home.
He rushed all the way.
After going back to Lhasa, Fang Qiu directly logged onto the Wulin forum on his phone.
“Earth Treasures Available!”
He had posted it in a simple and direct way.
“Ranked 54th on the Earth Treasure list: Icicle Flower. Ranked 46th on the Earth Treasure list: Heavenly Scent Horn. Ranked 39th on the Earth Treasure list: fiery fruit.
“All of the three available.”
Earth Treasures were to Wulin people what money and beauties were to ordinary people.
However, Earth Treasures were already useless to Fang Qiu. He only needed Heaven Treasures, so there’s pointless for him to keep Earth Treasures. He might as well sell them.
At that time, Fang Qiu just posted on the forum.
Immediately, the post attracted numerous people’s attention.
“Holy cow! The mysterious man sells Earth Treasures again?”
“You’re a fucking Earth Treasure wholesaler, aren’t you?”
“The mysterious man is too mysterious. In just a few days, he sells Earth Treasures again?”
“Do you grow Earth Treasures at home? You’ve just sold one, and now you’re coming back with three?”
“Oh my God! Fiery fruit. It’s the fiery fruit!”
At once, all the people on the Wulin forum all cursed in Fang Qiu’s thread with enormous envy, jealousy, and hate.
Without a doubt, everyone went mad.
Comparisons were odious!
Meanwhile, sitting in a taxi on the way to the airport, Fang Qiu was also browsing through the posts.
The three Earth Treasures in his hands were all OK, especially the fiery fruit. Even in the entire Wulin, it would definitely sell like hotcakes. However, Earth Treasures were really useless to him, and so was the fiery fruit.
Since he had got the Earth Treasures, he could not let them rot in his hands, could he?
Therefore, without any other ways, Fang Qiu could only choose to put them up for auction.
“Do you grow them at home?”
Browsing through the posts and seeing the reply, Fang Qiu was suddenly stunned and muttered. “Right. Can I grow Earth Treasures?”
Once the audacious thought came into his mind, it grew madly in Fang Qiu’s heart.
However, on second thought, Earth Treasures grew from absorbing Heaven and Earth energy and Heaven and Earth essence. How could he possibly grow them?
From that point of view, it seemed unlikely!
While murmuring, Fang Qiu nodded. “No. I have to ask the keeper of Yaowang Mountain in detail when I come back to school.”
In his view, in terms of the skill of cultivation, if the keeper of Yaowang Mountain claimed to be the No. 1, then no one would dare to claim to be No. 2.
After all, the man had spent his entire life on growing herbs and could even grow wild ones. If there was a way to grow Earth Treasures, only the keeper of Yaowang Mountain could think of them.
“Knock knock…”
Suddenly, knocks rang.
Fang Qiu immediately collected himself and looked at his phone.
He found someone had sent a private message to him.
He tapped on it.
“Hi, Senior John Doe. I’m in the auction business and have a small auction agency. I hope you can grant me the right to put the three Earth Treasures up for auction. I promise there’ll be no commissions. RSVP.”
When he saw the message, Fang Qiu secretly shook his head.
He could not trust something like an auction agency on this kind of matter. What if they colluded with someone to say that Earth Treasures were robbed or stolen? Who would he turn to for justice?
Eventually, Fang Qiu still decided to delegate the auction to He Gaoming. With He Gaoming’s shrewdness and passion for money, he would not make Fang Qiu suffer losses.
Shortly after, he got off the car and entered the airport.
“Beep, beep, beep…”
The cell phone in Fang Qiu’s pant pocket suddenly rang.
