OFR – Chapter 168 The storm is coming Part 1

If no one reached out to him, then Mu Bai could only prepare to head back to the black market to look for rare plants and animals in the shops there.

As he was thinking about this, he pulled out his phone, opened the browser, and once again logged into the Southern Sundries Forum.

The Southern Sundries Forum was a website with hundreds of millions of followers.

Its daily active users reached tens of millions—honestly, its activity level was no less than some top-tier live streaming platforms.

So, as soon as he logged in, Mu Bai saw that his personal page was showing 99+ private messages.

Looking at the hundreds of messages, he shook his head with a wry smile.

At that moment, Mu Bai realized his earlier thought had completely underestimated the forum’s popularity.

After that wry smile, he casually scrolled through the private messages.

User 6852**:** “Are those two ultra-rare plants of yours real? Can I verify them in person? How much are you asking? Here’s my offer—2 to 3 million, and if I can check them in person, I’ll buy right away.”

Supreme User Zi Qing: “What kind of rare plants do you need? Also, let me ask, if I trade a premium-grade Blue Sea and Sky for one of your Golden Purple Peonies, would you agree?”

Regular User 856*:** “Do you need saffron? Imported from Vietnam, guaranteed authentic!”

Supreme User Hai Dongqing: “How much for that nineteen-tail Tiger Grass? Name your price, just don’t be ridiculous.”

There were around four to five hundred private messages in total.

Mu Bai spent over an hour going through them all, marking the ones he intended to follow up on.

As for those trying to act clever, wanting to buy his ultra-rare plants for just two or three million, Mu Bai directly blacklisted them.

Out of sight, out of mind—he had no interest in wasting time with people like that.

In the end, there were only seven or eight marked private messages.

Looking closely, he found that every single one of them came from Supreme Users on the forum.

This made him realize that being a Supreme User on the Southern Sundries Forum wasn’t just a title—it actually carried weight.

Mu Bai sent simple replies to those seven or eight Supreme Users.

For users offering to sell rare plants, he replied in detail—after all, his main purpose in joining the forum was to buy rare plants.

As for the user with the ID Zi Qing, Mu Bai left his QQ contact, planning to privately discuss a possible deal.

Because he was very interested in the Blue Sea and Sky Zi Qing had mentioned.

The Blue Sea and Sky, commonly called the Green Rose, was extremely rare!

Whenever one appeared, not only premium-grade but even seedlings would fetch over a million.

And a premium-grade Green Rose was worth no less than twenty to thirty million—comparable in value to the ultra-rare Golden Purple Peony.

But the Green Rose had immense growth potential, on par with the Ghost Orchid.

If cultivated for some time in his miraculous space’s secondary cultivation system, Mu Bai believed it might even become an S-grade miracle flower.

That was why he was very willing to trade a Golden Purple Peony for a Blue Sea and Sky.

After replying to all the marked private messages, he turned back to check the post he had made yesterday.

By now, it already had hundreds of replies. Most were speculating on whether his two ultra-rare plants were real.

Of course, many users were also offering plants for sale.

From those replies, Mu Bai picked a few long ones to respond to, and once again emphasized in his post that he was acquiring rare plants.

After finishing this, he glanced at the time on his phone—it was already past 5 p.m.

Looking up, he saw the sky outside had indeed darkened.

In the Xuanwu Zhongshan Villa District, the soft, bright streetlights had already come on.

At night, the villa district was quite beautiful, and many of Nanjing’s business tycoons often took evening strolls to enjoy the scenery.

But Mu Bai had no intention of going out. He quickly closed the browser, drew the curtains, and turned on the living room lights.

At this point, he thought it was time to use some Miraculous Elixir Dew to enhance his physical fitness.

But just as that thought arose, a QQ notification sound suddenly chimed from his phone.

“Hm? Could it be that user who wanted to trade the Blue Sea and Sky?”

The notification made him set aside the idea of buying the elixir for now. He picked up his phone and logged into QQ.

But once inside, he saw that it wasn’t the user wanting to trade the Blue Sea and Sky—it was a message from Hai Qing.

And when Mu Bai read the contents of that message, his previously calm gaze grew colder and colder!
