Chapter 19 - Do you know its value?

Lan Zhi nodded and said, "Yes, you can." Rong Keyun carefully cut off a piece of the leaf the size of a fingernail, put it into her mouth, and closed her eyes to savor it carefully. In the next second, she suddenly stood up, her eyes full of excited light. It was actually genuine! The dried product didn't affect the medicinal efficacy. On the contrary, there seemed to be a faint trace of the original power of heaven and earth in this Star-building Grass! Although the piece of leaf was too small for her to experience it in detail, she could be certain that this trace of power was definitely beneficial and harmless for awakening star meridians! Since she unexpectedly had a child, Rong Keyun had been looking for the Star-building Grass every day, just to help her child, who had awakened six star meridians congenitally, awaken the last two star meridians. However, in recent years, in order to suppress the cultivators from humble families, the noble families not only didn't let the humble family cultivators have the opportunity to get their hands on the Star-building Grass of the Tianyi family but also spent a lot of money to buy the Star-building Grass flowing out from the secret realms at high prices. No matter how wealthy the humble family cultivators were, they couldn't compare with the noble families. She had been painstakingly searching for nearly twenty years, but she hadn't even been able to touch a single leaf of the Star-building Grass. Now, however, the best Star-building Grass in the whole world was placed right in front of her! Rong Keyun was so excited that her hands were shaking. She rushed to Lan Zhi and couldn't wait to ask, "Are you sure you really want to use it to pay off the debt? Do you know its value?" Lan Zhi nodded and said, "I know its value, but it's useless to me." Rong Keyun thought that since Lan Zhi didn't even have her star meridians anymore, indeed, no matter how good the Star-building Grass was, it had no meaning for her, so she said, "In recent years, the highest price that the Star-building Grass has been sold for was two million five hundred and seventy thousand Star Coins. The value of this one is higher than that. I'll calculate it as two million eight hundred thousand for you." After Lan Zhi took out the Star-building Grass, she had been observing Rong Keyun all the time. If Rong Keyun had become greedy, then she would have to leave. Fortunately, she hadn't misjudged the person. Actually, she had more than one Star-building Grass in her hand, but it wasn't appropriate to take them out. After all, having one Star-building Grass could still be explained as being specially found by the elders in her family for her to awaken her star meridians. If there were more, it would be hard to explain. Lan Zhi said, "Two million five hundred and seventy thousand is not the normal price. Just give me the price according to the normal one." Rong Keyun asked, "Do you also know about that incident?" Lan Zhi nodded. She even knew that the exact amount was two million five hundred and sixty-six thousand nine hundred and thirty-four Star Coins. Because that incident had spread really widely. It was said that when two cultivators from humble families were trading the Star-building Grass they had found in a secret realm, they happened to be seen by a dandy from a noble family. The dandy immediately threw money around to compete for the goods. No matter how much money the humble family buyer offered, he would just offer one more Star Coin. The humble family buyer borrowed money from everyone he knew around him in order to get the Star-building Grass and finally managed to gather two million sixty-six thousand nine hundred and thirty-four Star Coins in total. The dandy offered one more Star Coin than him. The humble family seller couldn't stand the behavior of the dandy and scorned that one extra Star Coin, still insisting on selling the Star-building Grass to the humble family buyer. Seeing this, the dandy immediately added five hundred thousand more and paid the money on the spot. After hesitating for several times, the humble family seller gave up on the humble family buyer and instead sold the Star-building Grass to the dandy.
