Seeing Li Xuan walk in, chubby old Uncle Qiao greeted him with a smile: "You haven't been here for a long time. What good things have you brought this time?"
Li Xuan took off his backpack and put it on the counter: "It's still the same."
Old Qiao opened his backpack, took out the herbs inside, checked it twice and said, "I've always thought you were more talented than that old man Huang Feng. Why don't you come to me as an apprentice? I guarantee that you will become a master within three years."
Can become the best alchemist in town."
Li Xuan smiled and shook his head. When he first came to town to sell medicinal herbs, Lao Qiao said this. Four or five years later, he still thinks about it, and it's really hard for him.
It’s no wonder that Lao Qiao values Li Xuan. He has been in the medicinal herb business for many years, and Li Xuan is the only customer who stores herbs separately according to their medicinal properties.
Moreover, the herbs Li Xuan sent each time were of high quality, and those that needed to be baked and dried had already been taken care of. The processing skills were even more superb than his boss, who had the title of alchemist.
If Lao Qiao knew that the young man in front of him was once a strong man who practiced herbal medicine and alchemy in the Immortal World of the Universe, he would probably be surprised and his jaw would hit his feet.
"It's such a pity that such a talented young man lives in a small village. It's such a pity." Old Qiao put away the herbs, took out a few silver ingots and handed them to Li Xuan, still chattering with regret.
After selling the herbs, Li Xuan also took out his previous savings. After calculation, the total was twenty-five taels of silver.
This was a large amount of money. Li Xuan never expected to be able to save so much money. He didn't have to worry about lack of money to buy spell materials.
When Li Xuan strode into the monk's shop, he immediately received many surprised looks.
The monk's shop in Xue's town is very small. Compared with the grand halls in big cities, it can only be regarded as a grocery store at best.
But to the residents of Xuejia Town, the store manager Yang Wei is a big shot who cannot be offended.
This is not only because the magic materials he sells are very mysterious, but also because he is known as a "relative of the Xue family".
As soon as Li Xuan walked in, the fat and short boss Yang Wei frowned slightly and winked at the waiter next to him. The meaning was very clear: get rid of this country bumpkin quickly.
It's no wonder that Yang Wei looked down on Li Xuan. He was wearing the kind of old-fashioned gray cloth clothes that the villagers in Herb Village usually wore. Although they were washed clean, they exuded a strange smell of herbs.
In addition, the pair of straw sandals Li Xuan wore on his feet were very comfortable for walking on the mountain road, but the two exposed big toes really made the scenery look bad.
Li Xuan's appearance not only made Yang Wei frown, but also several customers who were shopping for goods avoided him to avoid smelling the herbal smell on his body.
"Nowadays, anyone can buy magic materials. Are monks so worthless?" A woman with a long neck asked her companion in a high-octave voice, like a goose being strangled by the neck.
.
A flattering smile appeared on his companion's face: "Maybe this bumpkin doesn't know the words on the door. Maybe he's here to buy fertilizer so that he can go home and take care of his few acres of land."
The woman laughed proudly and glanced at Li Xuan with disdain.
Li Xuan had no time to pay attention to her. When the waiter came to greet her, he said, "I want three pieces of the best talisman paper, three ounces of cinnabar, three ounces of indigo, and a wolf hair brush."
The man's original intention was to drive away Li Xuan. Hearing what he said, he was a little confused.
Even Yang Wei was surprised. He really didn't expect that a country bumpkin boy could fluently name so many magic materials. Could he really be a big customer?
"You...are you rich?" The waiter looked up and down at Li Xuan, not believing that he could afford it.
Li Xuan thought to himself: I really look down on others. I remember when I was in the universe and fairyland, all the magic materials were stolen...
Despite being a brave man, Li Xuan now decided to keep a low profile, so he took out his money bag and poured twenty-five taels of silver on the counter.
The shining silver ingots collided with each other and made a crisp sound. In Yang Wei's ears, it was simply the best music in the world.
"Guest, the store has all the goods you want. Please wait a moment." If you have money, you are a man. Seeing the shining silver ingots, Yang Wei pushed the waiter aside and personally entertained Li Xuan.
"Please hurry up." Li Xuan said, it was getting late and he was in a hurry to go back.
If everything goes well, he will be able to refine his first ghost servant in the Moon Shadow Realm at midnight.
The clerk hurriedly went to prepare the goods, while Yang Wei put away the silver ingots with a smile on his face.
In fact, the materials Li Xuan wanted only cost ten taels of silver, but since he didn't even ask the price, Yang Wei didn't mind making a few more.
When the clerk got the goods, Yang Wei was about to put them up, but Li Xuan shook his head and said: "The talisman paper is not up to standard, please replace it with a new one."
Yang Wei's hand trembled and he almost dropped the cinnabar bottle in his hand.
Yang Wei is a profiteer. Not only does he sell his goods at surprisingly high prices, but he also often passes them off as inferior goods. Anyway, the half-hearted monks nearby don't understand. He is happy to make more money.
The talisman paper prepared for Li Xuan was a defective product. Yang Wei bought it at a 30% discount. Once it was resold, the profit was several times higher.
To his surprise, this country bumpkin actually saw it. Could it be that he was really a secretive monk?
"Hey, what are you talking about?" The proud woman who had been wandering around the store said to Li Xuan dissatisfied, "These are all good things. If you can't afford them, don't buy them."
"That's what the lady said." Yang Wei wiped the sweat from his forehead and thought to himself: Fortunately, this stupid woman didn't see it...
Li Xuan rolled his eyes at the woman: "If you like stupidity, feel free to do it yourself, but please stay away from me, because stupidity is contagious."
If the other party is a beautiful woman, Li Xuan will probably be more polite. After all, he has countless romantic partners on the earth and in the world of Da Zhong. However, the appearance of the woman in front of him is a bit apologetic. Li Xuan is considered very good for not kicking her away.
So polite.
"You... how dare you disrespect me, I'm from the Xue family!" The woman screamed like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
When she shouted, the thick white powder smeared on her face fell down.
"What is the Xue family?" Li Xuan frowned slightly, he was a little impatient.
This woman is really annoying. She should be strangled to death.
"You don't even know about the Xue family?" This time it was Yang Wei's turn to be surprised, "This land with a radius of two hundred kilometers belongs to the Xue family, and this distinguished female cultivator is a member of the Xue family."
"It turns out it's a small family." Li Xuan became even more impatient. The head of a small family with a radius of 200 kilometers really didn't appeal to him.
Even the king of this country has to wait until he is in a better mood before he can care about it.
"What did you say?" The man who had been following the woman rushed over in a majestic manner, pretending to be a hero saving the beauty, and grabbed Li Xuan's chest.
This man had long been trying to be a hero, but when he saw Li Xuan's rude remarks, he took action without saying a word.
