“I heard that your The Foster Family has a thousand-year-old Whiskerless Grass in your collection. I wonder if you’d be willing to part with it—I’m willing to pay double the price!” William Nash suddenly spoke.

Whiskerless Grass is a sacred healing herb, extremely rare. In the entire Luoshui City, only Samuel Foster happened to obtain one by chance. It is the main ingredient for refining the healing elixir [Huán Xīn Dān]!

Huán Xīn Dān, as the name suggests, can restore even a lost heart. Though this claim is somewhat exaggerated, it still shows the power of this pill!

His own father’s qi sea was damaged, and his dantian could not be cultivated. If he had this Huán Xīn Dān, combined with [Lingxi Body Refinement Technique], perhaps helping him fully recover would not be difficult!

“How do you know we have Whiskerless Grass?” Upon hearing the youth’s words, Samuel Foster raised an eyebrow, a strong murderous intent flashing in his eyes. It seemed that if the youth before him weren’t his lifesaver, he would have already made a move.

Such a precious herb as Whiskerless Grass is no less valuable than a royal family cultivation technique. If word got out, it would surely cause a bloody storm. After The Foster Family obtained it by chance, they never mentioned it in front of others. How did this youth know?

“Uh…”

Hearing the question, William Nash suddenly remembered that news of The Foster Family possessing Whiskerless Grass only spread eighteen months later. Afterwards, the four great families fought over the herb, suffering heavy losses, and only then did Luoshui City fall to a demon clan attack and was destroyed!

He possessed knowledge from his previous life and had forgotten this detail. But having lived two lives, he was already extremely composed. He smiled faintly, “You don’t need to worry about how I know. I’m only asking if you’re willing to part with it!”

Although Samuel Foster was not the head of the family, as the primary heir and the one who obtained the spirit herb, it was not strange that he had authority over the Whiskerless Grass.

“You helped me today, and I will repay you in the future. But if you want to use this as leverage to make outrageous demands, our The Foster Family will not fear anyone!” Samuel Foster flung his hand and turned to leave.

In his eyes, this youth must be crazy. Although he had saved him from embarrassment today and was owed a favor, to think that this alone could be exchanged for Whiskerless Grass was simply a dream!

Whiskerless Grass was a precious item he had obtained from an ancient ruin. For a qi sea cultivator, it was as valuable as life itself—there was no way he would give it away, no matter how high the price!

“Brother Foster, don’t be in such a hurry to leave. I still have something to ask. Have you still not awakened your bloodline factor?” Although he had memories from his previous life, William Nash thought it best to confirm.

“Hmph!”

Hearing the other party not only make outrageous demands but also ask this question, Samuel Foster was nearly infuriated. The slight goodwill he had just felt for this youth instantly vanished.

Who in Luoshui City doesn’t know I can’t awaken my bloodline factor? Are you asking just to humiliate me?

“There are two possibilities for not awakening the bloodline factor: one is not having it, the other is having it but being unable to awaken it. If I’m not mistaken, Brother Foster, you should be the latter, right?” Ignoring the other’s anger, William Nash continued.

“That’s none of your business!” Clenching his fists, Samuel Foster found the youth before him extremely annoying, almost to the point of bursting with rage.

Everyone in Luoshui City knows my bloodline factor is innately blocked. I don’t need you to mock me again!

Just because you saved me earlier, does that give you the right to mock me at will? How can there be such an infuriating person in the world!

Ignoring the other’s outburst, William Nash smiled lightly. “Since you have a bloodline factor, there must be a way to awaken it. Heh, what if the bargaining chip I offer for the Whiskerless Grass is that I can help you awaken your bloodline factor?”

His voice was not loud, but it was like thunder. Samuel Foster froze, as if struck by lightning.

Chapter 0009: The Ethereal Immortal Heart Technique

The fact that Samuel Foster could not awaken his bloodline factor was like a thorn in his throat, a needle in his back. As long as it remained unresolved, he would be mocked by others every day. He had long had enough of this humiliation!

Take today, for example—he had gone out with Emily Nash precisely to relieve his frustration!

Now, suddenly hearing the youth say he could help him awaken his bloodline factor, the shock in his heart was imaginable. He took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing his excitement. “If you can help me awaken my bloodline factor, not to mention a Whiskerless Grass—even if you want me to follow your orders in the future and become your subordinate, it’s nothing!”

He said this not because he didn’t believe the youth before him, but because the matter was simply too unbelievable!

For six years, his family and he had sought out countless people to examine him, all to no avail. The final conclusion was that his bloodline factor was innately blocked and incurable. Yet this youth, only sixteen or seventeen years old, claimed he could help him awaken it. If he hadn’t just witnessed his miraculous disguise and unparalleled wit, he would have thought him a madman!

“Since I dare say it, I naturally have confidence!” Ignoring the other’s slightly angry tone, William Nash said.

“Confidence? Even James Thompson, the alchemy master of Jibei City, wouldn’t dare say that. You, a nobody, boast like this—do you think I’ll believe you?” Though he said this, Samuel Foster still stopped in his tracks, turned around, and stared intently at the youth, as if trying to see through his calm exterior and figure out what he was really thinking.
