Chapter 15

“Shh, Liam Foster, I thought you were going to pull out something earth-shattering, haha, but it’s still just clover. This thing isn’t worth much, but since it’s from the Laxian Secret Realm, I’ll buy you a drink later…” Slim Monkey patted Liam Foster on the shoulder, grinning as he spoke to Liam Foster.

Liam Foster hadn’t even opened his mouth when a figure suddenly rushed over. Before Liam Foster could react, the person snatched the clover right out of his hand.

“Fifty-year-old clover, this is fifty-year-old clover!” The person’s voice was filled with excitement.

Without waiting for anyone else to speak, he shouted, “Kid, I’ll give you three spirit stones for this clover!”

When it came to people daring to compete with Treasure Pavilion for business, Mr. Bolton was never polite. Treasure Pavilion made sure he never lacked food or drink, so naturally, he had no goodwill toward anyone who dared to steal business from them.

But when he saw the body trembling with excitement while holding the clover, the hand that had already gripped his knife quietly let go, and the body that was about to charge forward stayed rooted to the spot.

A smile even appeared on his dark face.

He couldn’t help but smile, because the person speaking was Master Harris.

With Master Harris’s status in Treasure Pavilion, a single word from him could get Mr. Bolton kicked out immediately.

This single clover was actually worth three thousand gold.

Liam Foster felt a bit dizzy; he thought this clover was worth a thousand gold at most.

Seeing Liam Foster remain silent, Master Harris became even more anxious and said, “Young man, I need this clover to refine a batch of Yuan-Tempering Pills. I hope you can part with it!”

“Master Harris, according to our agreement, Treasure Pavilion has the right of first refusal for the herbs we collect!” Liam Foster rubbed his hands together, pretending to be troubled.

Master Harris waved his hand and said, “Don’t worry about that, just give it directly to me.” As he spoke, Master Harris took three spirit stones from his pocket and handed them to Liam Foster, saying, “If you get any more aged herbs in the future, just come find me.”

The moment the three sparkling spirit stones landed in Liam Foster’s hand, he felt a cool sensation in his palm.

The other gatherers, including Slim Monkey, looked at the spirit stones in Liam Foster’s hand with envy. For them, even risking their lives on a gathering trip rarely earned them three thousand gold, but this guy Liam Foster really hit the jackpot—he sold a tiny clover for three thousand gold, and people were even fighting to buy it.

A smile also appeared on Evelyn Clark’s face. Three thousand gold—this was like a mountain in her heart, and now, the three thousand gold that had weighed on her so heavily was suddenly enough!

With this three thousand gold, she wouldn’t have to become a maid for that annoying eldest son of the Chen family; she could continue to stay by Liam Foster’s side.

But thinking that this three thousand gold was earned by Liam Foster risking his life, she felt even more bittersweet despite her happiness.

Just as Master Harris was about to hurry back to refine pills with the clover, Liam Foster stopped him and said, “Immortal Master, I have two more clovers here. Could you help me see how old they are?”

As soon as he said this, everyone standing outside the secret realm was stunned.

There were more? All eyes were fixed on Liam Foster, watching to see what else he could produce!

Chapter 8: Turning Black and White Upside Down

One, two, three!

Three short, stout clovers!

These three looked even worse than the fifty-year-old clover!

If Liam Foster had taken them out earlier, absolutely no one would have paid them any attention, but at this moment, no one dared to underestimate these three clovers.

In the end, everyone’s gaze landed on Master Harris!

They needed Master Harris to give an answer.

Looking at the three clovers, Master Harris began to tremble all over.

He put the fifty-year-old clover, which he had just treasured so much, into his storage pouch, then snatched the most inconspicuous one from Liam Foster’s hand, sniffed it for a long while, and finally shouted, “Three-leaf treasure! This is three-leaf treasure!”

Although everyone present respected Master Harris, when they saw him call the clover “three-leaf treasure,” quite a few people still curled their lips.

But these people did not include Mr. Bolton.

Having worked at Treasure Pavilion for so many years, Mr. Bolton knew that once something reached a certain age, it would be called a treasure!

If they really managed to collect something worthy of being called a treasure this time, David Bolton’s promotion would be all but guaranteed.

Thinking of the benefits, he couldn’t help but grab Master Harris and ask, “Master Harris, is this really three-leaf treasure?”

“If it’s not three-leaf treasure, what is it!” Master Harris said, raising the clover in his hand. “This three-leaf treasure is a full hundred years old. Not only is it more than enough for ordinary pills, it’s even more than enough for refining grade-seven or higher pills.”

At this point, he couldn’t help but shake his head and say, “What a pity, what a pity!”

Master Harris’s words of regret made not only David Bolton nervous, but even Slim Monkey and the others felt a bit anxious.

Even though the thing didn’t belong to them, it was still disheartening if a companion’s treasure turned out to be worthless.
