Chapter 1167 The Cunning. Trickster
As Master Lincoln witnessed the unwavering support he received, a smug smile adorned his face. Heregarded the troublemaking kid as someone incapable of grasping the gravity of the situation. Lincolnbelieved that even without taking any action himself, the crowd would vehemently insult and curse thekid until he was compelled to leave.
Caught off guard by the strong aversion he elicited from the crowd, Alex had not anticipated such astrong negative reaction. Realizing that a direct confrontation with Master Lincoln was no longer aviable option, he acknowledged the need to adopt a different approach to navigate the situation.
“I’m not doubting your abilities, Master Lincoln, but you mentioned earlier that there’s snapdragon in themedicine. I’m quite curious about it.”
“I managed to get this herb at an auction, and the price of this single stalk of snapdragon reached astaggering one billion,” muttered Alex.
As soon as he finished speaking, the faces of everyone present were filled with astonishment.
Just how precious can a single stalk be to be sold for a staggering one hundred million? This is simplyjaw-dropping! Lincoln said that the pills were made with precious herbs, but I never expected them tobe so valuable-to be worth a staggering hundred million for just one stalk. Selling them for just fivethousand each is incredibly generous of him.
At this moment, Lincoln cleared his throat and said, “I initially didn’t want to tell you the price of thisprecious medicinal herb because I didn’t want to stress you out about its cost; I just wanted to do somegood deeds for the people in this village.”
Upon hearing Lincoln’s words, a wave of guilt washed over everyone present. They had not realizedthat the Master had gone to such lengths to help them.
“Master Lincoln, you’re our savior! Our family will forever be indebted to you!”
“That’s right! Master Lincoln, you’re our savior! From this moment onward, we will wholeheartedlyfollow your every word without any hesitation.”
With the flu having already claimed numerous lives, a pervasive sense of danger hung in the air. In themidst of this distress, the arrival of Master Lincoln felt akin to that of a savior to everyone present.
Alex never expected that his single comment would lead to such a situation. These people’s blindworship of Master Lincoln had reached an absurd level. Can’t they think about how many snapdragonstalks are needed to make a thousand pills? Just one of them already costs a hundred million.
The level of extravagant spending and utilization of funds displayed by Lincoln surpassed what evenpowerful priests, who had amassed significant wealth, could afford.
“Master Lincoln, if you really made this using snapdragon, then it truly is a divine medicine! I havesome knowledge about snapdragon, so may I buy one pill to take a closer look?” Alex said with a smile,but his gaze was incredibly piercing as he stared at Lincoln.
Lincoln felt a bit uneasy under the intense gaze of Alex. He swallowed nervously and let out a drychuckle before saying. “My young friend, I can see that you’re a cultivator of Mortal Force. This fluposes no threat. to you, so why not save these pills for those in need?”
His words were delivered with utmost tact and precision, leaving no room for any discernible flaw. Thisold priest is a cunning man, Alex mused.
“Although I practice martial arts, my family needs it too! Are you saying that you can sell this to othersbut not to me? Maybe there’s something in this medicine that you don’t want others to know about, andyou’re afraid I’ll find out?” Alex said with a faint smile on his face, looking at Lincoln.
Lincoln perceived Alex’s persistent pressure, realizing that declining the request could potentially raisesuspicions among the others. Reluctantly, he acknowledged that he had no alternative but to agree tosell it to Alex.
Snapdragon was such a rare thing-even he had only come across it by chance in an ancient book. Hedidn’t believe that the young man in front of him had really seen snapdragons. Instead, it seemed likethe young man was only trying to trick him into a confession.novelbin
With that consideration in mind, a sense of relief washed over Lincoln, visibly easing his expression. Hethen said to his disciple, “Let’s sell one to this young man as well!”
