Chapter 1502 — Yang Qiqi's Grievance
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Only two natural treasures? You're a poor one indeed!" Zhang Nai Pao frowned. He had not expected Yang Qiqi's bag to hold only two natural treasures; it was almost too few.
Yang Qiqi was sick with chagrin. If you think it too few, then don't take it! Give it back to me!
"Hmph!" Yang Qiqi gave a cold snort.
"Eh?" The next moment, when Zhang Nai Pao stowed Yang Qiqi's two natural treasures in his own bag, he cried out in astonishment—for he saw that his electronic points card had suddenly surged by more than a thousand points.
And before that he had held only three hundred points, and those had come from robbing several squads.
"Over a thousand points? What are these two things of yours?" Zhang Nai Pao had not examined Yang Qiqi's natural treasures closely before, merely tossing them into his bag. Now he hurriedly pulled them out for a look, and his gaze fell at once upon that Snow Ganoderma. He could not help exclaiming, "A five-hundred-year Snow Ganoderma? You really are a little rich woman—you can find a heaven-defying natural treasure like this? I truly underestimated you! Still, my thanks indeed. Over a thousand points—it looks as though first place in this trial is mine for the taking!"
"Congratulations, Lord Pao, congratulations! Lord Pao's fortune is boundless!" the brothers Zhuangniao Pao and Zhuangniao Qiang hurried to offer their congratulations, envy beyond measure in their hearts—but this was surely Zhang Nai Pao's now, and they dared not ask for it.
"Haha, no need to fret. From now on, whatever natural treasures we seize will be yours; I've got enough here!" Zhang Nai Pao laughed. To Yang Qiqi he said, "Little girl, I owe you my thanks again!"
Yang Qiqi was so chagrined she could have spat blood. Hearing Zhang Nai Pao and the others gloating, tears of grievance welled up and streamed down her face. This Snow Ganoderma was what she had won through a thousand hardships, doing battle with a giant python—and now these villains had simply taken it! They were truly despicable.
The more she thought, the more aggrieved and bitter she felt. That exchange privilege had already been in her grasp, and now she would have to begin all over again. But wounded as she was, could she still gather other natural treasures?
Ordinary ones, perhaps—but what of the natural treasures guarded by wild beasts? Those she surely could not obtain...
"You say there's a five-hundred-year Snow Ganoderma up ahead? Truly?" Even Wei Zhao, who had seen no small number of precious medicinal materials, was thoroughly startled to hear such news from the Heavenly Thunder Pig.
A five-hundred-year Snow Ganoderma might be of no use to Feng Xiaoxiao, but it was still the stuff of legend among natural treasures. Zhang Lifeng's notes on the art of pill-refining mentioned it: a five-hundred-year Snow Ganoderma was one of the raw materials for refining many fourth- and fifth-grade pills, incomparably precious.
So this single Snow Ganoderma alone might well offset countless points—enough to pass the trial outright, and not impossibly so.
