Chapter 561 Emerge from the Nest_1
Jin Zhenghao did indeed personally call Shen Yongji, the head of the Shen Family, to purchase medicinal herbs. Shen Yongji had also heard about the trading of an Earth Tier Martial Arts Secret Manual at the trade fair and understood Jin Zhenghao’s intention to buy the herbs.
Shen Yongji suggested trading a herb from the Shen Family for a copy of the secret manual.
Of course, Jin Zhenghao was not willing. He was reluctant to share the secret manual he obtained in exchange for two herbs with the Shen Family, and the negotiations between the two parties quickly broke down.
At this point, Jin Pengju rushed back and ran directly into Jin Zhenghao’s attic, bawling out, "Dad, save me, please save me!"
"What happened? Weren’t you keeping an eye on that kid at the convention center? Why are you back here shouting for help?" Jin Zhenghao scolded.
"Dad, that kid put an evil magic curse on me. He said I must steal the thousand-year-old herbs from our house for him to lift the curse, or else he will inflict a curse on me every day that makes living no better than death."
Jin Pengju wailed.
"What evil magic curse? Explain everything to me clearly." Jin Zhenghao asked.
Jin Pengju did not dare to hide anything and recounted everything that happened at the trade fair. After listening to Jin Pengju’s account, Jin Zhenghao frowned.
"He actually knows evil magic, could he be a cultivator? He traded the secret martial arts manual for medicinal herbs, he must be trying to perform Alchemy."
"Dad, let’s not worry about whether he’s a cultivator. I can’t stand the pain, it’s really making my life worse than death." Jin Pengju was breaking out in a cold sweat at the thought of the Heart Devouring Talisman acting up.
