Chapter 572: Transaction Market Encounter with Xiao Yan

Hearing that, Lin Feng instantly lightly tapped his spirit ring, retrieved four jade bottles, and flung them at the old man.

"Hey, I still like people like you who are so forthright," he said.

The old man, after checking that the items were fine, immediately laughed, then flicked the scroll in his hand toward Lin Feng.

Lin Feng took the scroll and promptly opened it.

"Soul Marrow Powder, I mixed it casually for a junior; it's not really a pill, its level is around Seventh Grade High-level. This powder uses earth‑core soul marrow as the main ingredient, plus hundreds of herbs as auxiliaries, to maximally stimulate the effect of earth‑core soul marrow."

After reading the description, Lin Feng's mouth twitched slightly.

Although the scroll was written very casually, Lin Feng felt like the other party was showing off.

A Seventh Grade High-level prescription, and this creator claims it was mixed casually.

If this person isn't a once‑in‑millennia alchemical genius, they must at least be an Eighth Grade Intermediate, if not an Eighth Grade High-level alchemist.

Then Lin Feng shook his head, and after confirming that the scroll's soul markings were intact, he stored it back into his spirit ring.

But after that, he didn't leave; instead, his gaze swept over the jade platform.

Next, he slowly picked up the old, pale‑yellow copper plate.

After all, he knew that since the other party was selling this copper plate together with those rare herbs,

even if he didn't know its true value, he at least knew the copper plate wasn't ordinary.

Therefore, he didn't perform any unnecessary actions.

And the old man indeed thought as the former had; when the latter picked up the copper plate, the old man knew in his heart that Lin Feng was interested in it.

After all, the herbs and prescription before him looked fine, and at a glance one could see their extraordinary nature.

Only this pale‑yellow copper plate appeared like trash among a pile of treasures, drawing no attention at all.

Thus, if anyone looked at it a few extra times or picked it up, it was most likely because they were interested in it.

Moreover, Lin Feng wasn't the only one interested in this copper plate.

Previously, many treasure hunters had asked about its price, but in the end, no one actually bought it.

After Lin Feng picked up the copper plate, his fingers lightly brushed its surface.

The rough feel of the plate was just like that of an ordinary copper piece.

If not for the somewhat intricate patterns drawn on it, perhaps no one would consider it a treasure.

And while playing with it, Lin Feng deliberately, whether consciously or not, exposed the interior of those twisted, rust‑stained patterns to his own sight.

After confirming that strange powder was inside, he immediately looked at the old man and asked, "What price for this thing?"

"This copper plate, though I don't know its exact function, was luckily obtained from the same ancient ruin as the prescription you previously exchanged, so it must also be an ancient relic. You can only take it if you present me with a prescription I'm interested in."

The scruffy old man glanced at Lin Feng, then chuckled and said,

"It's rare to have a Seventh Grade Pinnacle Alchemist interested in this item, so he naturally wouldn't let such a great opportunity slip away."

As soon as he finished speaking, a series of startled, uncertain gazes around them locked onto the copper plate in Lin Feng's hand.

Everyone knows that anything linked with the word 'ancient' is never simple.

Yet they still found it hard to believe that this plain, old copper plate could be related to antiquity.

When the old man opened his mouth, Lin Feng immediately guessed his thoughts.

But as a transmigrator, his greatest advantage is knowing many plot points.

Therefore, he was very clear in his mind which prescription the old man was interested in.

After pondering for a while, he slowly said, "I have a formula for Pure Heart Pill; I can trade it for this copper plate. Though that pill is Seventh Grade Intermediate, it helps alchemists stabilize their mind. As a fellow alchemist, you should know its value."

"Of course, if you want to swap my Seventh Grade High-level prescription, then this deal is off. After all, a legitimate Seventh Grade High-level prescription is extremely valuable, and using it to exchange an unknown ancient relic isn't worth it."

Hearing Lin Feng's terms, the old man's eyes brightened.

Though the Pure Heart Pill works well, it has little effect on alchemists below Seventh Grade High-level or ordinary cultivators, so its formula is somewhat rare on the market.

He wanted it badly but couldn't find it for a long time.

Now trading it for this copper plate is a good choice.

"Fine, I accept."

The scruffy old man immediately nodded, agreeing to the terms.

Lin Feng, seeing this, smiled inwardly, then lightly brushed his spirit ring again and took out a gray‑white scroll.

He snapped his fingers and flicked it toward the old man.

The old man, seeing this, quickly caught the scroll and opened it to examine.

After confirming that the scroll's soul markings were intact, he took it, then waved his hand at Lin Feng, indicating he should take the copper plate.

Lin Feng, seeing this, placed the copper plate back into his spirit ring and continued leading the two women elsewhere.

"Husband, does this copper plate have anything special?"

After walking away, Ye Xinlan could no longer contain her curiosity and whispered, "What's special about it?"

"I once obtained something similar; it contained a treasure worth as much as an Eighth Grade Pill."

Lin Feng gave a slight smile and explained the general reason to her.

Hearing that, Ye Xinlan's beautiful eyes lit up instantly, and she became excited.

A Seventh Grade Intermediate prescription exchanged for a treasure worth an Eighth Grade Pill—who knows how many times its value multiplied.

Lin Feng saw her slight expression, was about to tease, but suddenly felt a surge of strange fire within his body.

Not only him, but the Little Medicine Immortal in his arms also sensed the Imperial Spirit Flame flaring up inside her.

"Strange fire!"

The sudden blaze inside them made both Lin Feng and the Little Medicine Immortal mutter in surprise.

Immediately, the two fixed their gaze on a certain spot.

At the same time, a man at that spot also sensed something was wrong.

After Lin Feng and Xiao Yixian's gazes fell on him, the man likewise projected a scorching gaze back.

"Xiao Yan?!"

"Lin Feng?!"

After seeing each other's appearance clearly, Lin Feng and Xiao Yan both let out sounds of astonishment.

As for Xiao Yixian, there was no Xiao Yan.

After all, Xiao Yixian, up to now, has never seen Xiao Yan.

However, after hearing Lin Feng's astonished voice, they quickly reacted.

That young man is precisely the enemy of her husband and her.
