The herbal medicine business is a bleak business. Although it is a big investment, the sales volume is very small. There is a saying among the peers: "If you don't open it for three years, it will last three years if you open it."
Zhang Chi prefers this way of business, where you can quietly look for your own herbs in front of the herbal stall without anyone coming to disturb you.
After the two of them walked a few steps, Zhang Chi found what he needed, which was the herbal medicine used to refine the Rebirth Pill.
The name of this herb is poppy fruit. It is a black-gray fruit that grows in patches deep in the Spirit Beast Mountain Range. It is not expensive. Zhang Chi did not use it too much at that time, but now there is not enough.
Zhang Chi and Zu Jing stopped in front of the counter, but the boss behind the counter still looked at me with his head lowered and flipping through a copy of the most popular "Erotic Palace Pictures" in mainland China. Blue light appeared in his eyes, and he looked at Zhang Chi and Zu Jing's love.
The arrival seemed to come unnoticed.
"Shopkeeper, how do you sell these poppy fruits?" Zhang Chi understood such a sullen man very well, and asked with a slight smile on his face that all men understand.
"Three hundred star stones for one, choose how many you want..." The shopkeeper didn't even raise his head, stretched out his hand to wipe the saliva from the corner of his mouth, replied and continued his hard study.
Zu Jing also saw the album in the man's hand, took a sip, and turned her head away with a flushed face.
"Three...three hundred star stones? Are you sure it's three hundred star stones and not a pile of three star coins?" Zhang Chi's whole body trembled and he asked doubtfully.
After listening to Zhang Chi's words, the shopkeeper reluctantly took his eyes away from the "Erotic Palace Picture" and glanced at Zhang Chi doubtfully.
Seeing that they were two teenagers, and there was also a little beggar, he frowned even more: "Young man, have you never bought herbal medicine before? Let me tell you! This poppy fruit is still old goods many years ago, and the medicinal power has worn off.
.
Otherwise, you won't be able to take away even one of the six hundred star stones. These are not ordinary things, they are all dug from the hands of adventurers..."
After listening to the shopkeeper's words, Zhang Chi had a puzzled look on his face, pulled the ancestor spirit, and the two turned and left...
About half an hour later, Zhang Chi, his head covered in cold sweat and in a state of embarrassment, walked out of the herbal medicine market with his ancestral essence. He was truly speechless.
He never thought that the herbal medicine on the mainland would be such a valuable method, and he only had less than twenty star stones left in his arms.
I originally planned to buy all the missing dozen herbs, but what happened? Even the fragrant green orchid, which is easy to find in the Spirit Beast Mountain, costs 18 star stones here...
"What should I do? Is my profession of alchemy going to end like this? Isn't this alchemy equivalent to burning money? How can I have the money to buy herbs to make alchemy?"
Zhang Chi's mood suddenly became bad, but Zu Jing looked at Zhang Chi with gloating and smiled: "Hehe... It's better not to have money, so as not to practice elixirs and harm people..."
"You...I...don't bother to care about you..." Zhang Chi turned around angrily, lowered his head and walked forward.
Zu Jing finally took advantage, and his mood suddenly improved. He hummed a little tune behind Zhang Chi and skipped forward.
Although Tianjiao City is located on the border, it is extremely prosperous because it is very close to the Moluo Mountains and close to the border. It is a distribution center for medicinal herbs, animal cores, precious animal skins, and animal bones, which can be exported.
Therefore, the security corps is very active here. There are constantly security corps going to the Security Alliance or the Pill Alliance to accept tasks, traveling between the Moluo Mountains and Tianjiao City.
Moreover, after leaving Tianjiao City, there are vast mountains. Although you have to pass through the three cities of Tiankang City, Tianxin City and Tianwei City to reach the Moluo Mountains, there are continuous mountains between these cities.
Along the road leading to the Moluo Valley, there are not only all kinds of ferocious birds and beasts, but also some powerful bandits, so people traveling on this road usually go together.
Most pedestrians or businessmen traveling on this road will also pay some mercenaries to ensure the safety of life and property.
Although Zhang Chi is a young master with a high spirit, he is not arrogant enough to think that he can freely travel from Tianjiao City to Mo Luo Valley.
Therefore, after walking for a while, he decided not to stay in Tianjiao City and planned to leave for Mo Luo Valley Tiangang Academy as soon as possible. After all, he was now being pursued by the three major forces and could die at any time.
Only after arriving at Moluo Valley will you be safe, because the mainland stipulates that no matter how big a crime is committed, as long as you reach Moluo Valley, no one is allowed to seek revenge...
Therefore, Zhang Chi asked for directions and took Zu Jing to the Tianjiao City Branch of the Security Corps in the city.
As soon as he entered the Tianjiao City Security Corps branch, he was greeted by noisy sounds. The huge hall was filled with adventurers from various security corps walking back and forth, laughing and cursing loudly.
The walls of the security corps branch are covered with various notices, all of which are large and small tasks, waiting for each security corps to receive them.
These tasks are all kinds of weird, including looking after homes and homes, escorting goods, looking for herbs, personal bodyguards, looking for the cores and bones of various spiritual beasts or warcraft, exploring some terrifying forbidden places...
The employers who come here are usually businessmen or people who are going out to do business in Tiankang, Tianxin, Tianwei City, and deep into the Moluo Valley.
Going north from Tianjiao City, the road is dangerous and murderous. If you want to deal with the bandits on the road, or the sudden appearance of fighting beasts, a few mercenaries are not enough. It is often a group of people with the same destination who collectively hire a security corps.
.
Just as Zhang Chi and Zu Jing were standing there looking around, a slovenly man with eye worms, unkempt hair, and a beard came over to them carrying a big sword.
"Hehe... little brother, are you looking for the security corps as a bodyguard? You are right to choose me, it is definitely a wise choice! I am the one known as the 'King of Soldiers'. If you choose me, you will choose peace!"
The big black man made a funny move and pointed the sword on his shoulder directly at the roof.
"Tch... If you are the King of Soldiers, I will be the God of Soldiers..." Several adventurers from the security corps nearby cheered with disdain, while giving the middle finger to the big black man.
The big black man scratched his disheveled hair in embarrassment: "Hey...he is the future, the future King of Soldiers..."
Looking at the honest and honest look of the big black man, Zhang Chi also smiled, but it could be seen that this big black man was indeed a strong man.
His cultivation level has reached the middle of the seventh level of Wu Shi, which is on the same level as Zu Jing. This kind of cultivation level is rare in the security corps.
But for some reason, he would rather be an ordinary adventurer than join a larger security corps.
