Chapter 544: Chapter 544 - 544 Sudden Change

544 Sudden Change

The purpose of Liu Yao’s visit was to make a deal with Gao Shengqiang. Then, he snapped his fingers.

Thank you readers!

Lu Benwei, who had been hiding in the corner, pretended to be Liu Yao’s servant, and walked forward with steady steps.

He was holding a box in his hand, which contained the Blood God Lotus.

Yilong and Lu Benwei looked at each other and said coldly, “Young Master Liu, this servant of yours looks very familiar.”

Liu Yao was stunned for a moment and thought, ‘That’s not right. Has Yilong seen Lu Benwei before?’

!!

Gao Shengqiang narrowed his eyes and carefully sized up Lu Benwei.

“Yes, it does seem like I have seen him somewhere before…”

The two of them did not react too violently.

Lu Benwei looked at them calmly. “Gentlemen, this is the precious treasure that my young master wants to exchange with you.”

“Bang!”

The wooden box slowly opened, revealing a gap. Suddenly, the entire office was filled with a refreshing direction.

Lu Benwei slowly pulled the board, and a lotus flower that was as passionate and unrestrained as a flame spirit appeared in front of everyone.

Gao Shengqiang stood up from the table, his body leaning forward involuntarily, and even his mouth was agape.

Even an expert among hunters like Yilong could not hide the excitement on his face.

“What kind of divine material is this?”

The two of them asked in unison.

“This is called the Blood God Lotus!” Lu Benwei said, “It’s the best among lotus-type medicinal herbs. It has absorbed the essence of heaven, earth, and man. A conservative estimate is that it can extend one’s lifespan by thirty years!

“Thirty years!”

Gao Shengqiang was so excited that his facial muscles were trembling.

“May I ask if this item is worth the Nascent Soul Fruit?” Lu Benwei continued to ask.

“It’s worth it!”

Gao Shengqiang crossed the solid wood desk and wanted to take the Blood God Lotus from Lu Benwei’s hand.

“Bang!”

Gao Shengqiang was stunned for a moment. If he had not reacted in time, his hand might have been caught.

“Alright, let’s take a look at the Nascent Soul Fruit first.”

Gao Shengqiang led the way and entered a private elevator.

Lu Benwei and the others followed.

The elevator slowly went up to the first floor.

“Ding!”

When they reached the top floor, Lu Benwei and the others went to Gao Shengqiang’s collection showroom!

It was hard to imagine that Gao Shengqiang had practically built a museum above his office.

Apart from all kinds of precious antiques, there was also epic equipment that he had collected.

A shield made from the tusks of an ancient mammoth. It is extremely hard and can reduce any ice attribute attack by 50 percent!

A dagger made from the spine of a Northern Direwolf. When it locked onto its target, it would freeze the target!

A set of soft armor made of crystal gilded chicken feathers that could freely enter and exit the cold plains.

There were countless dazzling eyes.

Lu Benwei was obsessed with it and almost had the idea of looting this place.

Finally, the group stopped in front of a display case.

A fetus was locked inside. Si He and Liu Yao almost cried out.

“President Gao, why did you lock a fetus in there?”

Gao Shengqiang laughed out loud. “Nephew Liu sure knows how to joke. Can’t you tell what this is?”

Liu Yao was shocked and said in surprise, “Could this be the Nascent Soul Fruit?”

“Nascent Soul, Nascent Soul… How can it be called a Nascent Soul Fruit if it doesn’t look like a baby?” Gao Shengqiang still smiled.

Inside the transparent glass cabinet, a Nascent Soul Fruit that looked like a fetus was lying quietly in the display cabinet.

Under the soft light, the patterns on the Nascent Soul Fruit were as clear as human blood vessels.

Si He slowly stepped forward, wanting to reach out and touch it. This was a medicinal herb that could repair his soul origin, and it was right in front of him. Unfortunately, he could only watch helplessly, helping Lu Benwei.

Gao Shengqiang frowned, very dissatisfied with Si He’s actions.

“Old Si, this will be yours sooner or later. Why are you so agitated?”

Liu Yao was also very dissatisfied and scolded, “Uncle Si, how could you do this?!”

Si He was helpless and could only retract his greedy gaze.

Lu Benwei was quite sympathetic. Si He had dedicated most of his life to the Liu family, but in the end, he was despised. If he said that his goals were different, Lu Benwei might help him.

However, things did not go as he wished. Lu Benwei was not a saint, and his soul origin was also waiting to be repaired. Lu Benwei could not bear to part with the treasure.

“In that case, let’s carry out the exchange according to our agreement.”

Gao Shengqiang raised his chin and gestured for Yilong to open the display cabinet.

Yilong responded and walked to the front. “Old Si, go away!”

Si He’s gaze was still fixed on the Nascent Soul Fruit, unwilling to leave.

“Move aside!” Yilong was very impatient and pushed him away.

Si He was a person who had one foot in the gate of hell. How could he withstand the push of a dragon in his prime?

“Ouch!” Si He screamed and fell to the ground.

Yilong laughed out loud and shook his head. “Old Si, aren’t you too fragile now?”

“I’m old…” Si He held onto a display case and tried to stand up.

“Uncle Si, let me help you.”

Although Lu Benwei did not have the heart of a saint, he could not bear to see this scene. Hence, he walked forward and wanted to help Si He up.

“Get lost!”

Si He pushed Lu Benwei away with a very bad attitude.

Si He had dedicated most of his life to the Liu family and Ha City, but in the end, he ended up in a sloppy manner. Lu Benwei, a person who had nothing to do with Ha City and the Liu family, was more qualified than him to obtain this life-prolonging divine medicine!

How ridiculous!

Lu Benwei also understood Si He’s feelings. He shrugged and did not say anything else.

Yilong laughed mockingly and took out the Nascent Soul Fruit.

“According to the agreement, we should carry out the exchange.”

Lu Benwei slowly pulled open the wooden box’s partition, and the fragrance once again permeated the entire collection hall through the gap.

Gao Shengqiang suddenly said, “Nephew Liu, aren’t you afraid that we’ll kill and rob you?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Benwei instantly closed the lid.

“What do you mean?” Liu Yao was shocked. “Uncle Gao, what do you mean?”

Gao Shengqiang licked his lips and suddenly laughed. “Don’t worry. I was just joking.”

His gaze turned cold as he pointed at Lu Benwei. “It’s just that I really don’t like this person!”

“Huh?”

Liu Yao was shocked. He trembled and said, “Uncle Gao, he’s just a servant of my family. Why do you have to be so apologetic to a servant?”

“Servant?”

Gao Shengqiang laughed mockingly.

“What kind of servant is he? He’s at level 59?”

Lu Benwei suddenly became alert. He had been hiding very well and did not reveal his aura. How could he be easily seen through?
