When the spirit of the black-robed old man saw Lu Xiaotian coming out, he was extremely happy and said, "Good disciple, you have finally come out. Please let me out. Even if I work as a cow or a horse for you, I will agree to any conditions."
In the past few months, he couldn't practice, no one talked, there was only the white mist and the gravel on the ground. He could endure such boring days, but his current state of soul would also consume his life span.
. This kind of endless waiting can drive people crazy. In the past few months, Lu Xiaotian has tried it many times. As long as he moves his mind, wisps of mist will wrap him up and protect him.
Without worries, Lu Xiaotian can face the old man in black robe calmly.
"Become a bully or a horse for me? I don't have this kind of life to bear. Even the few people who ventured into the canyon with you were killed by you. I don't dare to take this risk with my limited means." Lu Xiaotian said.
"In the world of immortality, the law of the jungle has been strong since ancient times. It is very common for monks to fight and kill each other for treasures. If I don't kill them, they will not let me go." The old man in black robe sneered.
Lu Xiaotian lost his voice and said, "You actually killed them all!"
The black-robed old man's face paled. He was such a cunning and cunning man. He quickly understood that Lu Xiaotian was trying to trick him. He was so scheming at such a young age. If not for his poor qualifications, he would have made his mark sooner or later. Look.
Simply begging him won't do anything anymore, and this kid will most likely not be fooled, so he can only continue to look for a way out of this prison.
Lu Xiaotian asked a few more questions, but the old man in black robe remained silent after realizing that he had been deceived, or made sarcastic comments to his words. Lu Xiaotian couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. He was shocked when he heard that the old man in black robe had killed three other people.
, I was speechless for a moment, but I didn’t expect this old guy to react so quickly. Just based on the few words of the old man in black robe, he could probably judge the dangers of the world of immortality. It seems that he must be more careful in the future, otherwise he will accidentally fall.
If you fall into someone else's trap, you will regret it too late.
Thinking of this, Lu Xiaotian opened his eyes, and the dense woods came into view again. He rode on the back of the leopard, driving out while practicing, and at the same time controlled the little green according to the insect training chapter of "Animal Taming"
Ant's method.
Half a month later, in a lively county town, both sides of the street were lined with vendors selling bamboo weaving, candied haws, and mountain animal skins. Lu Xiaotian carried a backpack full of things and shuttled among the gentry, merchants, and civilians.
From time to time, you can also see wealthy merchants carrying swords and wearing fancy clothes.
"I didn't expect Pingwu County to be like this. It looks more lively than Qingzhu County."
Lu Xiaotian looked at the pedestrians and the shops on the street with interest. He had stayed in the canyon for more than half a year and wandered in the mountains for several months without seeing anyone. Now that he returned to this lively market, he felt in his heart
He was somewhat excited. According to his knowledge, Pingwu County and Qingzhu County are bordering each other. He didn't know the way in the mountains, so he ended up here by accident.
But he soon calmed down and stood in front of a pharmacy. There was an antique plaque on the pharmacy that read Miaozhitang. This was the fourth pharmacy he saw along the way, and
The most impressive one should be able to give a good price for his herbs.
There were three clerks in their early twenties, as well as an old doctor sitting in the hall and a fat accountant with a rosy face. Lu Xiaotian walked in, looked at a few people, and asked one of the taller clerks, "What's the store?"
Rico can buy herbs?"
"Our Miaozhitang is the largest pharmacy in Pingwu County. We don't like some ordinary herbal medicines. You are a little kid, why are you joining in the fun?"
There were several customers in the shop, and the waiter was greeting them, waving impatiently. The better herbal medicines are mostly found in deep mountains and old forests. Such places are inaccessible, and there are often ferocious beasts and snakes. Even some warriors,
Don't dare to enter easily. As for some common herbal medicines in the periphery, Miaozhitang has its own source of herbal medicines, so it is not favored by such scattered traders.
Lu Xiaotian frowned and took out a rather large Huang Jing from the baggage on his back. There were dozens of fine knots on it.
"Polygonatum vulgaris that is more than forty years old!" The old doctor sitting in the hall was most sensitive to herbs from the previous year. He could tell at a glance that this Polygonatum spermum was extraordinary. Although it was not the best, it was already a good herb.
"How much do you bid for this Polygonatum?" Lu Xiaotian asked.
"Little brother, it's really not easy. Polygonatum japonicus of this year is rare. I can give you a price of thirty taels of silver. What do you think, little brother?" The fat shopkeeper changed his expression at this time and said with a smile.
.
Lu Xiaotian didn't answer, just put Huang Jing away, turned around and left.
"Wait a minute, if the little brother thinks the price is too low, we can talk again." The fat shopkeeper didn't expect Lu Xiaotian to react like this. Seeing him about to walk out of the door, he hurriedly stopped him and said.
"The bid is several percent lower than the market price, and most of the herbal medicines that are decades old are in short supply. The shopkeeper is doing a good business." Lu Xiaotian turned around and looked at the fat shopkeeper calmly. He had just asked several pharmacies, how could it be like this?
Easily fooled.
"My little brother is a shrewd man. I'm sorry for my clumsiness. Let's do it this way. The price is fifty taels." The fat shopkeeper quickly bowed his hands and said with a smile.
It was nearly a few taels higher than expected, and he was quite satisfied. He used to work as a handyman and it took several months to save two silver beans. Now, a single Polygonatum japonica can be sold for such a price. The money is enough for the family to live and feed.
It's been decades since.
Lu Xiaotian was about to agree, but suddenly he felt a faint spiritual energy coming from the backyard of Miaozhitang. Its aura was exactly the same as the Qi Gathering Pill. He couldn't help but his heart skipped a beat. Yes, it must be refining the Qi Gathering Pill.
The magic grass used.
"I won't sell this Polygonatum japonica."
"Not selling? Then why did the little brother come to Miaozhi Hall? Is it to entertain me?" the fat shopkeeper said with some displeasure on his face.
"I heard that Miaozhitang has a full range of herbal medicines. I need some more exotic herbs, so I want to exchange it with the shopkeeper. Since this Polygonatum odoratum is priced at fifty taels of silver, if I replace it with other herbs, I will refund the price more than I will pay."
Lu Xiaotian wandered around the barren mountains and ridges for several months without being able to find the spiritual grass. Now he came across it unexpectedly. He couldn't miss it.
The fat shopkeeper's face turned slightly bright, "So that's it, it's easy to tell. I wonder what kind of herbal medicine the little brother wants?"
Lu Xiaotian said, "The smell of this herb is quite unique. I can smell it. The shopkeeper doesn't mind if I enter the backyard of Miaozhitang."
"It doesn't matter." The fat shopkeeper nodded.
The backyard of Miaozhitang is very open. There are many herbs that need to be dried, ground, or roasted. Dozens of people are busy in front of them. There is also a carriage, and two strong men are loading it from above.
