116: Chapter 115 The Purple-Gold Dragon-Nourishing Ginseng That Can Nourish Dragon Cubs

Zi Yan's eyes were fixed tightly on one of the small stalls, her gaze full of surprise, and she pulled Ling Yuan over.

The stall was not large, covered with a tattered piece of animal hide. On it were displayed common medicinal herbs and Demonic Beast cores, with nothing particularly eye-catching, except for a ginseng plant in the corner that stood out remarkably.

Zi Yan reached out and pointed exactly at that purple-gold ginseng among the medicinal herbs.

This ginseng was about the length of a palm, with a thick root, dark purple-gold in color, and its skin was covered with fine golden patterns that looked exactly like dragon scales, with three tender green leaves at the top.

"What kind of medicinal herb is this? What are its effects?"

Ling Yuan was not an Alchemist, so he could not recognize the effects of this medicinal herb.

Behind the stall sat a burly man, tall and sturdy with a dark, rough complexion. His profile was covered in scars of varying depths, the most prominent being one that extended from his forehead to his jaw, with irregular edges, looking as if it had been scratched by a Demonic Beast's claws.

Looking at the things he sold on his stall, mostly high-level Demonic Beast cores and some associated medicinal herbs, it was not hard to judge that this burly man likely operated in the Beast Region all year round, relying on hunting Demonic Beasts and picking medicinal herbs to trade for resources to support his Cultivation.

The burly man immediately stood up, a proud smile on his face, and patted his chest as he said:

"Young lady, you have a good eye! This is a purple-gold dragon-nurturing ginseng. I snatched it from the nest of an Eighth Rank Sky-Winged Thunder Flood Dragon a while ago when I went deep into the core of the Beast Region. For this ginseng, I paid a considerable price. Look at the scar on my neck; it was scratched by that Sky-Winged Thunder Flood Dragon!"

As he spoke, he pulled open his collar, revealing a long scratch on his neck. The scratch was deep, sharp in shape, and indeed looked like the claw mark of a Dragon-type Demonic Beast.

After complimenting Zi Yan, he did not forget to answer Ling Yuan's question.

"And the effect of this purple-gold dragon-nurturing ginseng is that it can allow a pregnant female Dragon to nourish the fetus's talent and Bloodline, allowing the little Dragon to be born with stronger talent."

Speaking of this, he deliberately raised his tone and added: "For example, that Sky-Winged Thunder Flood Dragon—if it had consumed this ginseng, the cub it gave birth to might even have had talent comparable to a Void Ancient Dragon!"

The stall owner boasted on the side, painting an exaggerated picture of the effects of this purple-gold dragon-nurturing ginseng.

Ling Yuan finally understood why Zi Yan said she wanted to trade for this medicinal herb.

Nourishing Dragon cubs, huh...

He knew in his heart that stall owners generally liked to exaggerate to sell for a good price, so he did not agree immediately but turned to look at Zi Yan and asked:

"Is the effect of this medicinal herb also effective for the Void Ancient Dragon?"

Zi Yan was an expert in this area.

Zi Yan nodded affirmatively and said: "He is indeed not exaggerating. This medicinal herb can indeed nourish Dragon-type cubs, and the stronger the Dragon-type Bloodline, the better the effect."

"There are several secret methods in the clan for nourishing the fetus, and for the highest-grade secret method, this purple-gold dragon-nurturing ginseng is the main medicinal ingredient. This kind of medicinal herb is very rare and difficult to find; currently, even Dragon Island has no stock."

Ling Yuan nodded, having a bottom line on the value of this medicinal herb.

Since Zi Yan said it could nourish the fetus, it must be traded for.

Zi Yan's belly had no movement yet, but that didn't mean there wouldn't be in the future. Trading for it in advance and keeping it for their future child could never be wrong.

He grabbed the purple-gold dragon-nurturing ginseng in his hand and turned to look at the stall owner: "I want this purple-gold dragon-nurturing ginseng. What do you want to trade for it?"

The burly man had also heard the conversation between the two just now and vaguely sensed that Zi Yan's identity was not simple; she was likely a transformed Dragon-type Demonic Beast and very possibly related to the Void Ancient Dragon Clan.

He rubbed his hands and said: "Two Eighth Grade Pills with six-colored Pill Lightning will do. I originally intended to take this medicinal herb to trade with the Void Ancient Dragon Clan. As you know, they definitely need this herb, so this asking price is really not high."

The stall owner chattered on, explaining to prove that his asking price was not high.

Ling Yuan didn't waste any words; he raised his hand and took out a jade bottle from his storage ring, casually tossing it to the stall owner.

This medicinal herb was for Zi Yan and their future child, so he would not be stingy.

Moreover, two Eighth Grade Pills with six-colored Pill Lightning were not really expensive for the Ling Clan; one could even say it was quite a bargain.

The stall owner hurriedly reached out to catch the jade bottle, opened it impatiently, poured out the two Medicinal Pills inside, and sniffed them. After confirming they were indeed Eighth Grade Pills with six-colored Pill Lightning, a look of great joy immediately appeared on his face; he hadn't expected Ling Yuan to be so decisive.

Actually, what he said earlier about wanting to trade with the Void Ancient Dragon Clan was just talk.

He had been hanging around the Beast Region for years and knew how powerful the Void Ancient Dragon Clan was; in his heart, he was quite intimidated by such a great clan.

If he had really gone to find the Void Ancient Dragon Clan to trade, he would have been afraid that they would directly snatch the herb away without giving him anything.

Therefore, being able to sell it successfully here and get the Medicinal Pills he wanted was already the best result for him.

Having completed this big deal, the stall owner's face was beaming with smiles, and he was there wishing for the future child of Ling Yuan and Zi Yan to have high, high talent.

Zi Yan was very happy to hear the stall owner's blessings!

After putting away the purple-gold dragon-nurturing ginseng, Ling Yuan and Zi Yan continued their treasure hunt.

"Husband, look at how capable I am! We haven't been here long, and I've already found something for the child."

"Child? Where, here?" Ling Yuan's hand, which was holding her waist, pinched her belly.

"Hmph, it's just because you aren't working hard enough. If you spent less effort on that snake, I would definitely have one by now!" Zi Yan retorted sophistically.

Ling Yuan cried injustice, because Zi Yan was the primary wife and had a clingy personality, so the time he spent with her was already far more than with Medusa or Xiao Yi Xian.

Zi Yan's eyes were filled with longing: "Husband, do you think the appearance of this purple-gold dragon-nurturing ginseng means we are ready to have a child?"

Ling Yuan nodded: "Mm, that makes sense. When we go back, I'll give you a huge gift. Whether the wish comes true depends on you."

The two of them were whispering private words via voice transmission. It was originally Ling Yuan who started teasing Zi Yan, but after only a few sentences, he was teased back by this female hooligan, Zi Yan, who couldn't wait to drag Ling Yuan back to the clan.

Ling Yuan was speechless.

In short, having gained quite a bit, they were in a very happy mood.

Ling Yuan had originally only wanted to try his luck to see if he could find the nine-colored primal stone.

He didn't expect to encounter a rare medicinal herb like the purple-gold dragon-nurturing ginseng. Even if he couldn't find the nine-colored primal stone next, this trade fair was already worth the trip.

However, fate seemed to particularly favor Ling Yuan.

When the two strolled to the end of the trade fair, with only the last two stalls remaining, Ling Yuan's gaze suddenly paused, staring fixedly at something on one of the stalls.

That was exactly the nine-colored primal stone he wanted most on this trip.

The stone was only half the size of a palm, looking seven-colored on the surface, with seven lines clearly carved on it. If it weren't for the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python, it would only be mistaken for an ordinary seven-colored primal stone.
