Hong Lee couldn't help but utter: "Is this... Herculian physique?!"

Hearing his words, every elder looked at Mo Xie waiting for his answer, but the latter didn't give any and just started to walk again.

The elders and Hong Lee looked at each other before following Mo Xie out of the Mourning Sun Sect's territory.

Hong Lee became vigilant, Mo Xie had taken almost all of the vegetation out of their Sect, but outside, he couldn't help but have a scheming smile.

As they walked out, Mo Xie strolled around the Mourning Sun Sect, trying to find anything that's worth his time.

But after a round of circling, Mo Xie stopped, his eyes widened as he approached one of the corners of the walls and found a rotting bark of a tree, he couldn't help but utter: "This... It couldn't be..."

All of them heard Mo Xie's words, they couldn't help but gasp, is that bark actually something really great? Maybe it's actually a 5-star herb! They would definitely be able to purchase a 4-star soul weapon if that was the case.

Hong Lee couldn't help but smirk as he slowly approached Mo Xie, he then heard the latter speak in a low tone: "I didn't bring enough treasures to exchange for this... Maybe I can just faint ignorance and deal with them..."

Hong Lee heard of it and moved a few meters back.

Mo Xie smiled before calming himself down, he then stood up and started to look back at Hong Lee: "I think this is all of the herbs and materials that I can find, I will do business again for some other time."

Hong Lee sneered, he looked at Mo Xie and spoke: "Young expert, I may not agree with you on something."

Mo Xie's expression changed, his face looked like someone had actually been caught.

Hong Lee's inner self almost blew out from the excitement, yet, he held it in and spoke: "Our agreement is only for you to take all of the herbs within the sect, you didn't say anything that's from the outside."

Mo Xie frowns, he looked like he's having trouble as he spoke: "How about I trade this Elder Treant's Bark for two 3-star soul weapons!"

Hearing Mo Xie's words, Hong Lee became elated; 'So such a normal-looking bark can be of great origin, I must retrieve it no matter the cost...'

As he thought of this, he shook his head, he heard Mo Xie saying that he had not enough treasure to exchange it with, then, no matter how much he has in possession, it will definitely be not enough to trade with the Elder Treant's Bark!

Hong Lee smiled sadly and spoke: "Sadly, I can't do that young expert, I-"

Before Hong Lee could even finish, Mo Xie spoke: "This is my last bargain, ten 3-star soul weapon!"

Hearing his offer, the elders felt excited, such a normal-looking bark costs so much? They couldn't help but be elated as they looked at Hong Lee in antic.i.p.ation. If they could have the 10 3-star soul weapon, they can definitely be outmatched within the area, even their rival would have no choice but to kneel in front of them!

But their expectation was shattered as Hong Lee spoke: "Apologies, but the trade about herbs end for this month."

Mo Xie frowns, looking extremely dejected, Hong Lee saw this and spoke: "If young expert brings something of equivalent value next time, we'll definitely have a trade then."

Hong Lee took the bark from Mo Xie's hand and kept it in his storage ring.

Mo Xie smiled at Hong Lee and spoke: "No worries, I will ask one of my clansmen to return here and give you twenty pieces of 3-star soul weapons and a piece of 5-star soul weapon, until then, I hope that Sect Leader Hong keeps this herb."

Hearing Mo Xie's words, all of the elders felt great shock, that bark was actually such a precious material that it could surpa.s.s even the value of a 5-star soul weapon?! And it even looks like Mo Xie has no more treasures to offer and just gave everything he could.

Hong Lee smiled as he wanted to scream to the top of the world that he had gained a treasure, but right now, it is impossible, he tried to calm down returning to his natural expression: "I will definitely try to keep it as long as I can."

All of them speculated that this bark can actually rival that of a 6-star soul weapon!

They started to dream of how much they could earn if they sold it to the auction house in the Solar Blaze Kingdom's grand auction!

They are starting to think that they are already a 2nd rate sect, after all, if one goes and possess a soul weapon at 4-star and above, they can definitely be considered as a 2nd rate sect!

Mo Xie nodded tearfully, he looked at the ring where the bark was placed and couldn't help but sigh: "Then, I will give up on that for today..."

Hong Lee smiled: "That's a great way to think young expert, with virtue and patience, one will definitely soar the peaks of heaven!"

Hearing this, Mo Xie nods his head, it looked like he accepted the consoling and started to move on.

Still, Hong Lee couldn't help but think; 'When you get back, this treasure is already at the auction house being sold for riches and fortunes! I might be able to make a few connections with 2nd rate sects after that too!'

He and the elders started to have their ambitions widen.

Meanwhile, the one that instigated their hopes couldn't help but sigh, he turned his back and them as a wicked smile formed on his lips; 'Hmmp, trying to bully my sister-in-law's husband? Check what happens next!'

What Mo Xie picked was actually an ordinary bark, yet, he made it look like a treasure intentionally so that these greedy old foxes can view it as a great treasure, for whatever will happen next, Mo Xie wouldn't care about it, after all, this is the last time they will be meeting.

Mo Xie walked together back to the grand hall, Hong Lee and the elders treated Mo Xie like a VIP due to a single reason, he had made them rich beyond comprehension!

Mo Xie then moved on to the next topic: "Ah, right, I want to have some servants from your sect."

"Servants?" Hong Lee asked.

Mo Xie nods his head: "Yes, I want cultivators of rank silver and above as servants, I want to trade it with two of my 3-star soul weapons."

'Two more 3-star soul weapons!!!'

All of them made an ecstatic expression, Hong Lee felt bewildered, but after a while, he thought that it's normal for a young master of a clan to want more servants.

An elder then moved closer to Hong Lee and whispered something.

Hong Lee smiled as he nods his head: "You have yourself a deal!"
