　　Not expecting the other party to knock himself out before he could finish his words, Zhang Xuan became speechless.

　　"Cough cough, what I meant to say was... I can solve your problem, but you'll have to increase the compensation. How can I negotiate with you now that you're unconscious?"

　　Zhang Xuan's condition for removing the Contract Gu from the other party's body was to bring him to the Poison Hall. Zhang Xuan had fulfilled his end of the deal, but the other party was now requesting for him to treat his wounded body. This was an entirely different matter, and Zhang Xuan couldn't possibly expend his own zhenqi for nothing.

　　Yet, before he could say anything, the other party had already fainted.

　　No matter what, I am a physician. Aren't you being too disrespectful to me?

　　Hearing Zhang Xuan mutter to himself, Butler Lu hurried up to Zhang Xuan and coughed awkwardly, "The old master wishes for you to treat him as soon as possible. If Physician Bai has any requests, feel free to speak to me of it. I'll do my best to satisfy them!"

　　"That's more like it!"

　　Zhang Xuan nodded, "How about this, you're selling this [Soul Numbing Powder] as well right? If so, you should have an inventory of it. Help me prepare three doses... No, ten doses."

　　If Zhang Xuan had this, he wouldn't have to resort to knocking anyone out by force again.

　　Since he had learned of this object, it was only natural for him to want more of it. Who else would he exploit if not the rich tyc.o.o.n in front of him?

　　"Ten doses of Soul Numbing Powder?"

　　Butler Lu blinked.

　　"Indeed. Don't tell me that your Great Herb King Manor can't even afford this meager amount of medicinal herbs?" Zhang Xuan frowned. At the same time, he was pondering whether he had asked for too much and that the other party was incapable of bringing out that much.

　　"No, it's... it's that..." Butler Lu seemed conflicted by the request and he looked as though he was suffering from constipation. "It's that this object is too inexpensive..."

　　The Soul Numbing Powder was one of the most fundamental prescriptions in a physician’s a.r.s.enal. A single dose costs only a few hundred gold coins, and ten of it was worth mere thousands. To think this little amount of money could save the old master's life...

　　Aren’t you thinking to cheaply of the Great Herb King’s life?

　　"Inexpensive?"

　　Zhang Xuan was taken aback. He immediately turned to Mo Yu, only to see her nodding her head with a speechless expression. Only then did he laugh awkwardly, "That... right. Do you have any Half-Zongs.h.i.+ and Zongs.h.i.+ realm cultivation technique manuals in your manor? The tier of the manual doesn't matter, and all I need is quant.i.ty. If you can manage to gather more than a thousand of them, I will accept it as the compensation."

　　Zhang Xuan's cultivation had already reached Tongxuan realm pinnacle, and to achieve a breakthrough, he would have to gather higher-realm secret manuals.

　　Tianxuan Kingdom was too backward, and excluding the old ancestor, the strongest cultivators were merely at Tongxuan realm pinnacle. As such, there was only a handful Half-Zongs.h.i.+ realm manuals in its territory. Red Lotus City was the city of a Tier 1 Kingdom, as well as a medicinal herb trading hub, so it might be possible for the other party to gather a sizeable quant.i.ty amount of cultivation technique manuals for him.

　　"Half-Zongs.h.i.+ and Zongs.h.i.+ realm secret manuals? More than a thousand of them?"

　　Not having expected Physician Bai Chan to ask for something so peculiar, Butler Lu contemplated for a moment before answering, "Our Great Herb King Manor controls the flow of all medicinal herbs in Tianwu Kingdom and the twelve surrounding nations. Many cultivators do not possess sufficient money to purchase herbs, so they could only trade in their unique secret manuals."
