Elder Niu not being greedy? Of course, that's impossible.
Elder Niu traveled all the way from the Pill Divine Valley to the base to become an elder, simply to use his status from the Pill Divine Valley and his position as a Third Rank Alchemist to seize benefits, didn't he?
In fact, Elder Mu's information on Elder Niu was indeed accurate, but where Elder Mu went wrong was in underestimating the extent of Elder Niu's greed.
The extent of Elder Niu's greed is beyond what words can describe.
A Blood Ginseng with a thousand-year medicinal value is indeed extremely precious. If it were any other time, Elder Niu would certainly accept it without hesitation. However, upon discovering Song Ling'er's astonishing talent, the once invaluable thousand-year Blood Ginseng now pales in comparison in Elder Niu's eyes.
