126: I regret it so much.

Lu Hao had originally intended to buy one of each, but then he had a change of thought: after his Disciple attained a certain level of proficiency in botany, she would also need to engage in Alchemy!

Wouldn't that consume a vast amount of resources?!

Furthermore, he would be recruiting new Disciples in the future, so he would naturally need more medicinal herbs. Preparing in advance was definitely the right move!

Lu Hao once again said something astonishing, and this time it was even more outrageous than before; he actually asked for one hundred portions of every medicinal herb, causing everyone around to burst into laughter.

"Little brother, do you have a grudge against this young lady? You keep asking her to tally things and calculate bills; it's not like you can actually afford to buy them, right?"

"Young man, just let it be. Considering how hard she's working, just buy a few herbs so she can get a commission; there's no need to keep tormenting her..."

"That's right, that's right... You look like a decent fellow, why make things difficult for a young girl..."

Clearly, they all assumed Lu Hao was just there to tease the young lady and didn't genuinely intend to buy any medicinal herbs.

What kind of sane person buys medicinal herbs by the tens of millions? Do you think these are cabbages?

Upon hearing Lu Hao say such things again, Yu Han Hui had to forcefully restrain herself to avoid blurting out a sarcastic remark.

Lu Hao didn't refute them after hearing this; he simply took out a Top-Grade Spirit Stone and handed it to Shi Yi.

The moment the Top-Grade Spirit Stone appeared, the concentration of Origin Qi throughout the entire Tianbao Medicine Pavilion skyrocketed instantly! It increased by several dozen times!

Even many of the medicinal herbs became more vibrant as a result.

At that moment, the entire Tianbao Medicine Pavilion, whether they had spoken up just now or not, fell completely silent! Their minds were buzzing with shock.

Everyone stared blankly at the Top-Grade Spirit Stone held in Shi Yi's hand, an extremely absurd feeling washing over them!

Was what this person said just now actually true? Did he truly possess such Heaven-Defying wealth?!

Even if they were foolish, they now understood that Lu Hao genuinely wanted to purchase these tens of millions of medicinal herbs!!!

"This, this, this!! Could this be the legendary Top-Grade Spirit Stone? This is the first time in my life I've ever seen one!"

"I heard that in our Eastern Region, from ancient times until now, only two Top-Grade Spirit Stone mines have ever appeared! And the yield was extremely scarce; how could this person have such a treasure in his hands?!"

"I have always heard of the fame of Top-Grade Spirit Stones, and today, I have finally fulfilled my wish to see the real thing."

If one had to name the person whose emotions fluctuated the most, it would certainly be Yu Han Hui, who had received Lu Hao at the beginning.

Originally, she had watched Lu Hao with the intention of being entertained, but she never expected to see him pull a Top-Grade Spirit Stone out of his Storage Pouch!

Her eyes instantly went wide, and her eyeballs were almost popping out!

This... this is impossible!!!

Top... Top-Grade! Spirit Stone!!!

Her brain shut down for a moment, and then a wave of frantic emotions surged into her heart.

She immediately abandoned the customer beside her and rushed toward Shi Yi like a madwoman, shouting as she ran:

"Shi Yi, there is another customer over there, hurry up and go serve them!"

"Leave this Senior to me. With such a large amount, you're bound to make mistakes as a newcomer! It's better to leave it to me!!"

She actually wanted to reclaim the commission from Lu Hao's transaction.

However, Lu Hao was not someone easily bullied; if you treated him well, he would return it twofold, but if you treated him poorly, he would absolutely not let it slide easily.

Lu Hao looked at Yu Han Hui, who had run over to Shi Yi's side, and said indifferently:

"Sorry, I don't need your service; I want the service of this Miss Shi."

Yu Han Hui was so anxious she was drenched in sweat, her expression twisted; she no longer had the composure she had shown when facing customers earlier.

"Sen... Senior, I have been here for a long time and am incomparably familiar with the prices of the medicinal herbs here. If I serve you, it will definitely be better than this newcomer."

Seeing that Lu Hao didn't speak, she added:

"I can also secure an even greater discount for you, Senior! This discount is something she, a newcomer, doesn't have. Senior, would you like to consider it?! I guarantee that I will secure an unprecedented discount for you!"

Lu Hao glanced at her and said:

"Oh? Really? But it's a pity; I am not short on money, and I don't like your attitude, so please leave my sight immediately!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Han Hui's body felt as if it had been struck by lightning; her entire complexion turned pale, and she collapsed onto the ground, her hands trembling uncontrollably as she began to cover her face and weep.

Her heart was filled with regret. Why hadn't she been willing to put in a little effort to help Lu Hao tally the quantity of medicinal herbs at the beginning...

Why had she handed this opportunity over to the newcomer before her...

Why!!!

Ah!!!

Damn Shi Yi! Do you just do whatever I tell you? Don't you have a brain of your own?!

If you had refused, due to the shop's regulations, I would have had to serve this Senior!

At this very moment, in stark contrast to Yu Han Hui's state was Shi Yi.

When she first heard Yu Han Hui's words, she had been very worried that Lu Hao might forgo her service for the sake of a discount.

After hearing Lu Hao's words, she finally truly set her mind at ease.

The excitement in her heart could no longer be described in words!

She had only just started working here a few months ago, and she was already going to retire?!

One Top-Grade Spirit Stone was worth one trillion Low-Grade Spirit Stones! Even one-thousandth of that was one billion Low-Grade Spirit Stones!!

Can't spend it all, absolutely can't spend it all!

Her hands were trembling continuously, revealing the excitement in her heart.

However, she still forcefully suppressed the desire in her heart and returned the Top-Grade Spirit Stone to Lu Hao:

"Senior! I will go calculate the price for you now; please keep this treasure safe for now."

Lu Hao nodded; he was becoming increasingly satisfied with the person before him, who was able to restrain her own desires.

Lu Hao smiled and said:

"Alright, go ahead, I will wait for you here."

Shi Yi ran back up the pavilion to start calculating the price.

Lu Hao himself did not think a Top-Grade Spirit Stone was a big deal.

One had to know that he had once directly handed out ten thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones for the sake of the Qingxuan Sect Disciples' Cultivation.

Furthermore, things like Top-Grade Spirit Stones really didn't rank highly among Lu Hao's treasures; any random Immortal-grade Magic Treasure would exceed the value of a Top-Grade Spirit Stone by who knows how much!

After Shi Yi went upstairs, Lu Hao continued looking at the medicinal herbs, and this time, everyone looked at Lu Hao with gazes of extreme envy and admiration.

After half an hour, Shi Yi came down, and following her was another person.

That person was wearing a long black robe, and his expression was full of majesty and solemnity.

But the moment he saw Lu Hao, his eyes were filled only with smiles.

This person was none other than the Pavilion Master of this Tianbao Medicine Pavilion, Ning Hefeng.
