Chapter 150: Just for One Hope
Xu Chen's tone had a strong, commanding-like flavor, and Old Man Liu naturally disliked it when he heard it.
"Yo, I really don't see that there is a big man here!" Old man Liu sneered.
Even in Biancheng, it's just that he doesn't bully ordinary people, and he really didn't think that there would be ant-like mortals who would dare to collide with him in person.
Old man Liu's eyes were suddenly filled with chill when he looked at Xu Chen. If it weren't for killing people in Biancheng, it would be a big trouble, and Dr. An was a little famous in the city, so he couldn't completely erase the traces, so Old Man Liu didn't mind opening up the formation, temporarily covering the exploration of the city protection array, and killing this ant who dared to rush into him.
Xu Chen sensed Old Man Liu's murderous aura, but at this moment he couldn't care less, he landed on his knees, walked to Old Man Liu's side, knelt down at his feet, and pleaded: "I beg the Immortal Elder to give her a Shouyuan Pill to save her!
Since he came to this era, Xu Chen has only knelt to his teacher Xu Fan, and that time also brought many utilitarian purposes, but this time, Xu Chen was unprecedentedly sincere.
"Hahahaha, I didn't expect you to be quite good at telling jokes!"
Old man Liu's eyes drooped slightly, and he only stopped for a moment on Xu Chen, who was kneeling at his feet, just an ant, if he hadn't been brave enough to climb onto his shoes, he wouldn't have looked at it.
It's just that...... It would be really troublesome to kill him!
Old man Liu now feels as uncomfortable as eating a fly, if only he were somewhere else, he wouldn't be disgusted by a bed bug.
"Please! No matter what you ask, the kid will agree!" Xu Chen bowed again.
"Joke! A mere mortal, an ant-like being, dares to speak out in front of this seat?"
Old man Liu was angry, but he still had no intention of making a move.
"I ......" Xu Chen wanted to say something, but found that he really didn't have the conditions to impress the other party now.
……
"That's right! I'll buy it, no matter how much money I have!"
"Huh?" Hearing this, Old Man Liu, who was originally gloomy, instantly changed his smile.
"Haha, you want to buy it?
Old man Liu is a businessman, and he is still a very qualified businessman!
If you want him to believe an empty word, it is absolutely impossible, let alone a promise made by an ordinary person like Xu Chen. However, it's not the same when you pay! If you pay, it's business.
When talking about business, you naturally have to talk about business!
Old man Liu helped Xu Chen up with a smile, and even carefully brushed the dust on Xu Chen's knees that was not already in the zài, and said with a kind smile: "The Shou Yuan Dan sold in my Huiren Hall is not the garbage of ordinary pharmacies, it is all high-grade ten-year Shou Yuan Dan." As for the price, it's also very fair, one hundred spirit stones!"
Xu Chen had no concept of the value of the spirit stone, but Chen Dong on the side had a stiff face, but as for Doctor An, his face was still expressionless.
Xu Chen looked back at the two of them blankly......
Seeing this, Old Man Liu was afraid that the business in hand would be yellow, so he hurriedly said to Dr. An: "Old Antou, you are knowledgeable, I didn't open this price randomly, right?"
Dr. Ann bowed.
Old man Liu saw that Xu Chen still had a difficult face, and suddenly said: "If there is no spirit stone, gold is also possible!" The unified exchange rate of the City Lord's Mansion is one million taels of gold for a piece of spirit stone, and you can give me ten thousand taels of gold!"
Spirit stones are a scarce resource in the world of cultivators, and they are currency that only circulates among cultivators, and if they are changed to other places, ordinary people will not even be able to see them, let alone exchange them for spirit stones and worthless gold.
But Biancheng is different, in this area Biancheng is a special existence, with more than 800,000 ordinary people living in Biancheng, there are many rare scenery elsewhere, and it has also become a rare place for the children of the Xu family and the handsome sect to visit in the boring years of cultivation.
But most of the people in Biancheng are ordinary people, and they don't use spirit stones but use gold, so there must be a place to exchange huàn, right?
Of course, these leisurely tourists are only one aspect, but the more important purpose of the Biancheng City Lord's Mansion to set up such a huàn institution is to facilitate the large number of capable people in the city.
Many genius earth treasures that can work on those who have the ability to exercise their abilities can only be obtained from the hands of cultivators, and those who only have gold in their hands also need to exchange spirit stones from the city lord's mansion in case of emergency.
Now the exchange rate given by the city lord's mansion is just like what Old Man Liu said, a piece of spirit stone is exchanged for one million taels of gold. In today's cultivator territory, there is a lack of spiritual veins, and the value of spiritual stones is many times higher than that of 10,000 years ago, and the reserves of gold are relatively abundant, so there is such a disparity in the exchange ratio.
"This ......" Xu Chen groaned with a sad face.
"What's the matter, aren't you playing this seat?" Old man Liu suddenly changed back to the face he had just now.
Xu Chen had no choice but to turn his head to look at Dr. An, this is not the time to carry forward his style, since Dr. An has agreed to pay, Xu Chen will not be embarrassed.
"Go get it!"
Dr. An is really a believer, although with the snow ginseng pill just now, Dr. An has spent most of his life savings today, but he still did not hesitate for a moment at this moment.
"Okay! Lao Antou is really a cheerful person!"
Although I don't understand why Dr. An has always paid for it, as a qualified businessman, Old Man Liu has never inquired into the privacy of customers.
Ten years of Shou Yuan Dan are extremely precious to ordinary people, and they can't even be seen once in a lifetime, but for Old Man Liu, they have to refine a lot every year.
There was no need to take it at all, Old Man Liu directly took out another jade bottle from his pocket, poured out a fiery red elixir, and motioned to Dr. An to take a look.
Doctor An nodded and said, "I don't have enough spirit stones on my body today, so I'll send them to you tomorrow!"
"This ......" This is not in line with Old Man Liu's rules, but hundreds of spirit stones are not a small business, Old Man Liu was unwilling to give up lightly, so he had to grit his teeth, pretending to be very determined, and said: "Nacheng, for the sake of your old Antou, I will make an exception today!"
As he spoke, the fiery red elixir was also fed into Yang Ziyun's mouth.
This time, the girl's face was significantly better, and the normal time lasted longer, however...... After all, I still haven't woken up!
There was no more consternation, and now all that was left for Xu Chen was frustration and panic......
"Alas...... It seems that the medicinal power is still not enough!" Old man Liu sighed, but his eyes rolled, and he tempted Xu Chen: "Or...... I think if we add another fifty-year-old Shou Yuan Dan, maybe this girl will wake up!"
"It's not expensive! It's only two thousand spirit stones!"
Old man Liu quoted the price with a smile, but he was afraid that he would scare Xu Chen, the gold owner, away, so he hurriedly explained: "It's not like I'm making a random price! You can go and inquire, is the price I Huirentang offered fair or not? You must know that the fifty-year-old Shouyuan Pill is not just five times that of the ten-year portion, not to mention the problem of effect and drug resistance, just the herbs required for refining, the difference of several decades, the price can rise exponentially! The price I want is really not expensive!"
Xu Chen actually didn't listen to what Old Man Liu said, and at this moment, he sat down in front of Yang Ziyun's couch again, looking at the girl with blank eyes.
However, after hearing this, Dr. An smiled bitterly: "Old man Liu, you know my affairs, where can I get two thousand spirit stones?"
"This ...... Or...... Are you going to borrow it?" Old man Liu said tentatively, then looked at Dr. An's dead fish-like face, and reluctantly gave up: "Okay, okay, then today's business is here, you can go!"
Old man Liu is a realistic person, since he has no business to do, he naturally doesn't want to keep a few more people, as for the idea of competing with Dr. An just now, he has already been thrown out of the clouds, he is not stupid, why should he care about the disease that cannot be cured?
Xu Chen didn't know how he got out of Old Man Liu, he was carrying Yang Ziyun on his back, and at the moment, he was like a wanderer, and he was only thinking about how to wake up the girl in his mind......
In the hall on the first floor, the pot-bellied steward just now was smiling and sending off two guests in fancy clothes.
The two guests were not very old, one woman a year, the man was handsome, and the woman was charming.
The charming woman was looking at the man with her eyes shining at the moment, holding the man's arm tightly with her two hands, rubbing the man's arm with a pair of huge jade rabbits on her chest from time to time, leaning her head to the man's ear, and calling sweetly: "Master...... Brother, people want gifts too!"
The man smiled, glanced at her, and said, "Whatever you want, just ask!"
"Really?" the charming woman was overjoyed, and her charming eyes blinked a few times before saying, "People also want a Shouyuan Dan!"
"Shou Yuan Dan?" the man smiled, and then said to the pot-bellied steward, "Go, get me another ten-year one!"
"Okay!" the steward saw that there was another business coming to the door, and he couldn't close his mouth with joy.
"Division...... Brother, you're so bad! People don't want that kind of shitty goods for ten years! People also want fifty years old!" The charming woman was coquettish, a pair of big breasts kept dangling in front of the man, and the steward who was standing on the side subconsciously swallowed his saliva.
"Hehe" The man turned his head, smiled at the charming woman, and said, "Forget it this time, let's talk about it next time!"
"Next time, are you a yellow-haired girl when you are an old lady?" The charming woman sneered in her heart, but her face added a little more charm, and she said, "No...... People don't follow! People don't follow!"
"Hehe" The man laughed again, but this time there was obviously a lot of chill in his smile, he stretched out two fingers, held up the woman's cheeks, and said coldly: "What are you, can you touch such treasures?"
The charming woman was pinched by this person, but behind the man's cold eyes, she was so frightened that she didn't dare to say a word, and she only shivered all over her body.
When the man saw this, he smiled, raised his left hand, turned around the brocade box he was holding in front of the woman's eyes, and asked with a smile: "You want this? This is a fifty-year-old Shouyuan Dan! Oh, that's right! You've been practicing qi for many years, right? Do you want to use this to increase your lifespan so that you can impact the foundation building period?"
The charming woman remembered some rumors about this person before, and she was suddenly frightened, and when she heard the question, she dared to nod in a hurry.
"Don't you say that this son has forgotten, you are still an old lady!" The man smiled lewdly: "If it weren't for your good work, do you think you, an old girl, would be able to enter the eyes of this son?"
"I ......" the heart of the charming woman, the fear is even greater!
Just when the charming woman was anxiously waiting for the man's disposal, there was a soft sound in her ears!
"Smack!"
The man's left hand was light, and the brocade box on the palm of his hand disappeared!
Sluggish and dazed, I turned around, but saw a young man carrying a girl on his back and running out quickly!
The man was visibly sluggish for a moment, apparently not adapting.
After a while, he roared angrily: "Boy, look for death!"
