Chapter 6: The Supreme Yang, Part Two

There is no need to mention it now

Although most of the onlooking merchants do not understand martial arts, just by observing Deng Tongtian's stance and the terrifying changes in his palm in an instant, anyone can imagine that Deng Tongtian is undoubtedly a martial arts expert, having cultivated some extremely domineering skill. Moreover, Deng Tongtian is tall and robust, his physique nearly twice as sturdy as Xiao Fan's. In comparison, Xiao Fan appears almost like a child in front of him; if Deng Tongtian were to seize his wrist, it is likely that he could crush the bones in it.

Before Xiao Fan could finish speaking, Deng Tongtian had already called out, his face filled with confusion

and so on and so forth

I am afraid that even if we were to gather all the wild dragon head and phoenix tail grass from the entire Huo Shan County, we might not be able to collect a full pound of dried goods

However, his own movements were too swift. Although Xiao Fan did not deliberately strike at him, in that fleeting moment, it was already too late to evade. One could only hear a muffled "hmph" as Xiao Fan's small finger gently touched his Neiguan acupoint, causing Deng Tongtian's entire arm to freeze in mid-air, while Xiao Fan's index and middle fingers had already rested upon his pulse point.

Am I going crazy

The two parties are fundamentally not on the same level, and moreover, now that Xiao Fan has seized the pulse gate, how could Deng Tongtian dare to act recklessly

Those who are watching the excitement are not idle bystanders; they are all seasoned veterans in the herbal medicine market, each one more astute than the last. Could it be that today they have truly encountered a master, and everyone has misjudged the situation?

What exactly is that earth-yellow box, and why is it such a precious treasure

As Deng Tongtian took the pulse, Xiao Fan's long eyebrows slightly furrowed. After a moment, he spoke softly: "Brother Deng, please switch to your right hand"

Deng Tongtian, who had always been indifferent and disdainful towards others, suddenly changed his expression dramatically, as if facing a formidable enemy. His large palm instantly turned a deep crimson, resembling a solid piece of blood-red agate, with the faint appearance of blood about to drip down. With a flick of his wrist, his hand transformed into a claw-like grip, swiftly reaching for Xiao Fan's wrist.

Focusing intently, Xiao Fan took a moment to feel the pulse of Deng Tongtian. Slowly withdrawing his right hand, the furrowed brow relaxed, and he solemnly said: "Brother Deng, the Red Sand Palm you practice is originally an external martial art that embodies utmost Yang and rigidity. The Wuyang Wood is the second most Yang in the world, and you have been carrying it with you for a long time..."

The people around immediately widened their eyes, displaying expressions of both surprise and excitement

Have they all gone mad

With two major bosses facing setbacks, others are reluctant to step forward and encounter difficulties. If this warm jade truly resembles what the composed man and Wang Zhigang have said, with its aura reduced to only 10 to 20 percent, then indeed, 50,000 yuan would be the highest price, and no one would bid any higher.

What exactly is going on in between

Due to the rarity of the Dragon Head and Phoenix Tail herb, it has been subject to rampant harvesting throughout history, making true wild Huoshan Dendrobium extremely rare. What circulates in the market is entirely cultivated, and in comparison to the wild Dragon Head and Phoenix Tail herb, its medicinal value is simply incomparable.

Alternatively, perhaps the composed man and Wang Zhigang have both misjudged, and this warm jade is actually a good thing

A chorus of exclamations suddenly erupted around.

The entire arm has become numb and unresponsive, clearly immobilized by an exceptionally advanced acupoint sealing technique. This technique, which Deng Tongtian had only heard his father mention in passing, is not something that can be mastered easily by anyone who is not a grandmaster of internal martial arts at an extremely high level, as it is said to be a sophisticated martial art that has long been lost.

Is this bald head on Deng Tong's website https://m.hetushu.com/ very attractive

Without a word, Deng Tongtian picked up the fifth-grade herb leaf and let out a single word from his throat. He was an experienced herbalist, and although the Miao region did not produce wild ginseng, it had been personally authenticated by Yin Zhengzhong, so it could not be false

Clearly, the person was merely offering to take his pulse out of goodwill, so why did this Mr. Deng suddenly turn hostile?

It is worth giving him such great benefits

What?

The composed man and Wang Zhigang are certainly not novices; they have been involved in this field for many years. How could they fail to discern the quality of the warm jade? It is somewhat understandable for one person to make a mistake, but the likelihood of two seasoned veterans making the same error is indeed quite low

Deng Tongtian fixed his gaze on Xiao Fan, his already large eyes widening like copper bells, as if he were trying to discern a flower blooming on his face. After a long while, he asked in a deep voice: "Do you really know what this is?"

Change

Xiao Fan smiled, slowly straightened up, looked at Deng Tongtian, and said in a gentle tone: "Brother Deng, exchanging this box for a fifth-grade leaf is indeed far from sufficient. What else do you need to exchange? Perhaps I can provide it."

Xiao Fan smiled faintly

Are you joking

Who would be foolish enough to participate in such a trade fair, throwing money into the water for no reason

Just now, with that composed man, Deng Tongtian at least exchanged a couple of words, but with Wang Zhigang, he did not say a single word from beginning to end

Deng Tongtian is not the kind of person to be soft-hearted or lenient

The Dragon Head and Phoenix Tail Grass is another name for the Huoshan Dendrobium, commonly known as rice dendrobium. It is primarily produced in Huoshan County of the Dabie Mountain area, mostly growing in the crevices of cliffs shrouded in mist and on ancient towering trees. It is considered a premium variety among the iron skin dendrobiums.

Who and - the - book knows that the ending is still unexpected, as Deng Tongtian reached out with a big hand, and Wang Zhigang had not yet come to his senses when the warm jade was snatched back by Deng Tongtian with a "pa" sound and thrown onto the coffee table, raising its head and not even glancing at Wang Zhigang.

This wild ginseng, just now Wang Zhigang and General Chen from Yuezhong have already offered a price of 250,000, yet Xiao Fan remains completely unmoved. Now, he is using it to exchange for this fire rock warm jade, which is worth at most 50,000.

Before Deng Tongtian could speak, the people around him began to shout loudly. In an instant, emotions ran high, and the area around Table 32 became the liveliest spot in the entire trading hall. Many customers who were in the midst of bargaining also paused their transactions and rushed over, quickly surrounding Table 32 to the point where not a single drop of water could pass through. One by one, they stretched their necks to peer inside, eager to understand what had transpired.

Could it be that the true treasure is this unremarkable, yellowish-brown box with black edges

I am afraid that in this trading hall, apart from him and Xin Lin, there is no third person who knows the secret of this box. Even the owner of the box, Deng Tongtian himself, may not be fully aware of it.

At this moment, Xiao Fan slowly walked over, not even glancing at Fang Nuanyu. He took the fifth-grade wild mountain ginseng from Xin Lin's hand and gently placed it on the tea table, smiling as he asked, "Shall we exchange?"

So many people, yet no one noticed it

On the shiny, glistening forehead of Deng Tongtian, a layer of fine sweat beads instantly emerged, yet he did not dare to struggle

As he spoke, Xiao Fan reached out his hand towards Deng Tongtian's left wrist

The Daoist classic "Daozang" has listed items such as Huoshan Dendrobium, Tianshan Snow Lotus, Sanliang Ginseng, Baishier Nian Shouwu, Huajia Fuyong, Deep Mountain Lingzhi, Seabed Pearls, and Cordyceps as the "Nine Immortal Herbs" of China, with Huoshan Dendrobium ranked at the top. This highlights its preciousness. Historically, Huoshan Dendrobium has been exclusively used by the royal family, and many emperors have used it to concoct elixirs for immortality.

Deng Tongtian finally scrutinized Xiao Fan seriously, scanning him up and down twice before coldly stating: "You cannot produce it. I want genuine top-quality wild Longtou Fengwei grass, one pound, dried."

Deng Tongtian did not lose his temper this time; without saying a word, he extended his right hand. His stiff left arm was slowly retracted and placed beside him, still feeling numb and unresponsive. The originally blood-red color had long faded away.

What is Wuyang wood? This is Zhengyang wood

The onlookers fell silent, holding their breath, their eyes wide open, intently focused on the changes occurring in the arena

Deng Tongtian is simply asking for too much.

Xiao Fan smiled, bent down to pick up the warm jade, and reached for the nearby earthen box, preparing to place the warm jade inside.

How can there be no signs at all, and then suddenly an attack occurs

However, Xiao Fan did not rush to explain. He smiled and said, "Brother Deng, your condition cannot be treated solely with the herb Longtou Fengwei. If you don't mind, I can help you take your pulse"

As Deng Tongtian's hand was grabbed with lightning speed, Xiao Fan appeared oblivious, his right hand continuing to extend forward at a measured pace. His slender little finger slightly curled upward, pointing obliquely towards the Neiguan acupoint on Deng Tongtian's wrist

Xiao Fan still wore a gentle smile and said softly: "Brother Deng, I truly cannot produce one pound of the finest wild Longtou Fengwei grass. Even if I could, it seems it would not be enough to exchange with you"

A bright red hand reached out from the side, swiftly grabbing the earthen box, just like lightning. It was Deng Tongtian, looking down at Xiao Fan from a high position, coldly stating: "The fifth-grade leaf can exchange for warm jade, but this box is not included"

Xiao Fan's palm, like his complexion, appeared slightly pale, lacking in color, with long, slender fingers that gave an impression of great fragility

That is a true priceless treasure, and it is valuable yet unavailable in the market. You cannot buy it even with money

To the throngs of onlookers who had come to witness the spectacle, Deng Tongtian and Xiao Fan remained oblivious

As early as the 1950s, wild Dragon Head and Phoenix Tail grass had already become a government-regulated medicinal herb. Even the Peking opera master Mei Lanfang had to obtain special approval from the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee of Jianghuai Province, the production area of Dragon Head and Phoenix Tail grass, to acquire a small amount of Huoshan Dendrobium for vocal care.

Deng Tongtian was taken aback. He did not underestimate Xiao Fan; although he practiced an extremely domineering external martial art and his internal skills were far inferior to Yin Zhengzhong, he could still tell that Xiao Fan was not a true "pretty boy." However, he did not expect that in this moment, Xiao Fan had already devised a counter to his grappling technique. Moreover, he was using just a single finger to counter his tiger claw grappling move. If he were not so confident in his superior cultivation, how could he dare to be so arrogant? He simply did not anticipate that in this instant, Xiao Fan had already developed a response to his grappling technique. Furthermore, he was using just a single finger to counter his tiger claw grappling move. If he were not so confident in his superior cultivation, how could he dare to be so arrogant?

Wow ... ...

Neither hurried nor slow, there is not the slightest hint of anger.

Wang Zhigang swallowed hard, his chubby face flushed bright red as he shot a fierce glare at Deng Tongtian. If this were in Lingnan, no matter how formidable this Deng fellow was, Wang Zhigang would certainly make him pay. Showing disrespect in front of President Wang was simply asking for trouble

One pound of premium wild dragon head and phoenix tail grass? What kind of joke is this

But upon reflection, it seems incorrect

Instantly, everyone looked at Deng Tongtian as if he were a madman, believing that he had undoubtedly gone insane, and that he was particularly severely deranged, the kind that was beyond cure
