--- Chapter 147 ---
Yunlong slightly smirked when he saw a black-haired man come out of the black swirls. "Nice to meet you, Bone Douluo." He naturally said.
Bone Douluo stood around 6ft with shining black hair and wore a black robe adorned with gold bone-like jewels around it, which caused him to look young, even though his age had reached three digits.
Yunlong was fascinated by this man's spatial control for a moment and commented, "Your spatial ability is great, eh?"
Bone Douluo, whose name is Gu Rong, chuckled a little when hearing Yunlong's comments.
"You're the one who talks brat because you also have the spatial-based ability, right." Gu Rong responded and landed on the floor while the black swirls disappeared.
Gu Rong intently glanced at Yunlong with a curious expression on his face. "That's why you could sense me from my spatial pocket." He added with a humorous tone.
He was interested in this young man because a soul master with a space element attribute is extremely rare.
Even after living for quite a long time, Gu Rong could only count space element spirit masters with one hand, but they were probably dead already because of old age.
Yunlong and Gu Rong stared at each other for a moment and chuckled because no one of them gave an opening to talks.
"You are really an interesting brat." Gu Rong suddenly grasped thin air with his hand and took out two sculptural wooden chairs.
Without minding Yunlong's gaze, Gu Rong and Ning Fengzhi casually took a seat in front of him.
"Now we can talk." Ning Fengzhi said while releasing a sigh because, with Bone Douluo, he basically gained an immense advantage in this conversation.
"I'll ignore your previous comment, but you should tell me about how to remove the Evil Moon Grass poison?" He confidently asked, to which Yunlong responded with a yawn.
Yunlong knew why Ning Fengzhi became overly confident because of Gu Rong's presence, but this was somehow funny in his view.
Even though Ning Fengzhi wants to pressure him with Gu Rong, he doesn't know anything about Yunlong, who has killed a powerful titled douluo with his own hands.
'Just how funny of you...' Yunlong inwardly chuckled while smiling at Ning Fengzhi.
Yunlong wanted to laugh at this but decided to shake his head because he could estimate that Gu Rong is not a threat as Tang Hao.
'Whatever.' Yunlong shrugged his shoulders, which caused Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong to frown a little.
"Very well," Yunlong slowly raised two of his fingers and said, "Twenty Million."
"I will tell you how to remove the poison from that grass, but you should pay me twenty million." He repeated, which caused them to stare at him in awe.
"Eh?" Ning Fengzhi responded with a speechless expression.
Ning Fengzhi couldn't understand this young man's calmness at all because clearly there is a titled douluo in front of him, yet he's still calm like it was not a threat for him.
Gu Rong also thought the same as Ning Fengzhi, but considering the fact, this brat could sense him inside the spatial pocket.
'This brat should have a trick in his sleeve to get away safely from here.' Gu Rong thought while trying to sense Yunlong's spirit rank but surprisingly failed because a black mist seemed to surround him.
'Hmm?!!' He also looked at Yunlong with a shocked expression.
"What? Twenty million is a pretty reasonable price." Yunlong carefully stated while gesturing his hand to Chu Xiaoyu so that she could feed him a fruit.
As Chu Xiaoyu fed him an apple, Yunlong closed his eyes and continued, "Or you want me to raise the price? I'm happier to get more money after all."
Ning Fengzhi released a fake cough and slightly moved his gaze to Gu Rong.
"Twenty million it is." Gu Rong suddenly nodded, which caused Ning Fengzhi's eyes to widen.
'You agree with him?' Ning Fengzhi asked with a spiritual message to Gu Rong.
'I felt an uneasiness in my heart for some reason.' Gu Rong answered.
'It's better for us not to make him our enemy. I couldn't sense his spirit rank...' He continued with a solemn tone.
Ning Fengzhi was shocked for a moment by Gu Rong's statement and couldn't help but once again looked at the young man in front of them with a surprised expression.
'Just who are you...?' Ning Fengzhi thought, to which Yunlong responded with a smile.
"Fine, twenty million then." He stated.
Yunlong took a paper and a pen from thin air, writing a few things on the table, which is the wrong way to remove the Evil Moon Grass poison.
Even though the Evil Moon Grass will still heal Tang San's injury if they were using this method, the poison from the herb wouldn't disappear and remained in his body.
The poison will slowly corrode his body from the inside without anyone noticing the symptom because he'll appear healthy outside.
Even Tang San himself probably won't sense it until a few years because the poison becomes more potent and apparent.
'Hehe... Imagine Tang San suddenly coughed blood in the middle of the important battle.' Yunlong coldly chuckled and casually threw the paper toward Ning Fengzhi.
Ning Fengzhi caught the paper and read the content with an observant gaze because he was actually pretty proficient with the medicinal herbs.
"I see... the Evil Moon Grass is a herb with a yin element, so we only have to counter it with the yang element." Ning Fengzhi muttered while thinking Yunlong's method is reasonable and relevant.
'However, to be sure, let's talk with the medicine clan head later.' He suddenly thought while shaking his head because Yunlong, for some reason, cannot be trusted.
Ning Fengzhi placed the paper into his suit and moved his gaze back to Yunlong. "I'll send the money to the auction house." He firmly said.
"You can take it tomorrow." He continued, to which Yunlong responded with a slight nod.
"Sure," Yunlong naturally replied.
Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong stared at each other and released a sigh.
"If you have time, please come to our clan." Ning Fengzhi said while lastly looking at Yunlong.
Yunlong only smiled and nodded his head, looking at them walking away to the door.
"Ah, before you go, I want to say something." Yunlong suddenly remembered something.
"Hmm, what?" Ning Fengzhi asked while his hand reached the doorknob.
"If I were you, I wouldn't trust a man like a grandmaster," Yunlong said with such confidence, which caused Ning Fengzhi to frown because Yu Xiaogang is her daughter's teacher.
Even though Ning Fengzhi knows Yu Xiaogang's background and how famous he was with his theory, Yunlong's words cause some doubt in his heart.
Nevertheless, Ning Fenzhi only nodded his head and walked outside with Gu Rong.
"I'll be waiting, brat." Gu Rong said while walking out of the room.
As the door closed again, Yunlong's smile disappeared, and Chu Xiaoyu approached him with an odd expression.
"Young Master, the method you gave to them..?" Chu Xiaoyu curiously asked with gleaming eyes.
"Yeah." Yunlong coldly grinned.
