Chapter 161: Bait
Strictly speaking, if Xiao Qiang hadn't had Mei Zhuo's arrangement, he would not have been able to enter this trading market.
Although there are no restrictions on the people who participate in the trading in this trading market, there are also extremely strict requirements and rules, at the very least, if you want to enter it, you must at least take out a rare enough herb, otherwise you can enter by selling something casually, which is too child's play. After all, to be able to walk here, many people's identities can't see the light.
Xiao Qiang sat there and looked at it carefully, and now except for the two mysterious women and a group of people from the Haoran Sect, in the entire venue, there was only one monk left.
"Bell! Clang! Clang! â
As three crisp bells rang, two figures stepped onto the platform in the center of the hall, a young woman and the other a pale old man.
Xiao Qiang's gaze swept over the bodies of the two people, his eyebrows raised, and the woman was just that, the old man with the white cane and crutches, seemed weak, but in fact, this guy was actually a martial arts powerhouse in the realm of the Nine Grades Great Perfection.
"It's kind of interesting." Xiao Qiang laughed, but he didn't expect to meet such a wonderful person here.
"Full of friends, full of splendor, today's brilliance is truly worthy of the name." The hostess's first sentence gave a small slap to everyone present, which made the hall burst into laughter, and no one was unwilling to listen to flattery, especially the flattery of a beautiful woman.
Seeing that the originally somewhat dull hall became much more relaxed because of the words of the beautiful hostess, she continued: "Everyone around me is familiar with this old man Wang Tian, the first medicine in the capital, all the medicinal materials today will be personally tested by his old man." â
The first medicine king in Beijing?
Xiao Qiang was stunned for a moment, wondering who this person was. I heard a whispering voice not far away: "I didn't expect to invite the old man Tian Wanshan." â
"Isn't it, how many years has this old man not been out of the mountain?"
"It's okay now, Old Man Arita is here, no matter what kind of medicinal materials, the year and authenticity will definitely not be a problem."
Xiao Qiang was a little surprised. I didn't expect this old man to have a very high reputation among these people.
"Old man Tian Wanshan, known as the No. 1 medicine king in the capital, has been running a pharmacy for a lifetime, and his biggest ability is that no matter what kind of medicinal materials, as long as he passes his hands, he can accurately distinguish the year and the truth from the fake."
At this time, a voice sounded in Xiao Qiang's ears, and he raised his head. I saw that the woman who had just spoken to me was standing beside me with a respectful face at this time.
"Do you have a problem?" Xiao Qiang asked in surprise.
The woman smiled slightly: "Our Boss Mei has explained, I will serve you tonight, you can ask me if you have any needs and what you don't understand." â
Xiao Qiang was stunned for a moment, and then understood that Mei Zhuozhuo was planning to befriend him, smiled, nodded, pointed to the sand next to him, and said to the woman, "Please sit down." â
The woman sat down slowly and said to Xiao Qiang, "My name is Du Juan." You can ask me any questions. â
Xiao Qiang nodded and pointed to Tian Wanshan on the stage: "This is the witness you invited?" â
The cuckoo shook his head slightly: "No. Mr. Tian is only responsible for helping to verify the authenticity and year of the medicinal materials, the specific transaction price, and it depends on the customer's own thoughts, you also know that some guests want to barter, and some guests are purely anxious to use the money. There's a big difference. â
Xiao Qiang immediately understood, just like himself, no matter what he took out, money was definitely not important, he would only accept the exchange that could provide him with the medicinal materials he needed. The same thing. The same goes for everyone else.
"Sir, the medicinal herbs you need, our boss has already sent someone to find them, I don't know if anyone will propose to exchange them today." The cuckoo whispered to Xiao Qiang.
Xiao Qiang looked at her suspiciously, and heard Du Juan continue: "That's the case, every time there is a trade fair, the guests will give us a list of the medicinal materials they want to buy and sell, and if there is a good need, we will also provide the guests with a place to trade separately." â
Xiao Qiang sighed, he understood what the cuckoo meant, it seems that Mei Zhuozhuo is really concerned about his own matter. The effect of his own bottle of elixir is not small.
At this time, the host on the stage had already begun to introduce: "Next, please put the medicinal materials and items you want to auction in the coffee table or glass box, and Tian Lao will check them one by one." â
Du Juan explained to Xiao Qiang: "Now, the trade fair has begun. â
Xiao Qiang nodded, since the inspection has begun, the next thing should be the main event. He thought about it, flipped his wrist, and took out a talisman, which was one of the several heavenly thunder talismans he had drawn by himself before Mingzhu left, which was originally used for self-defense.
Tian Wanshan walked slowly one by one, and occasionally when medicinal materials appeared, he stopped, looked carefully, and encountered items that were not medicinal materials, and he also asked the owner of the item in detail, the name of the thing, the year, and so on.
In the entire trading hall, the atmosphere gradually became tense, and everyone followed the footsteps of the old man, moving their eyes, and everyone was waiting for the moment when he finished the inspection.
Tian Wanshan was checking the medicinal materials, but he muttered in his heart, today is really weird, there are actually two groups of mysterious identities, even he can't see through the storage zĂ i, those two girls and a few offspring, don't look at the young age, but Tian Wanshan felt a momentum like a high mountain from their bodies.
"Looks like we're going to have a fight tonight."
Tian Wanshan thought so in his heart, on crutches, step by step a little trembling came to Xiao Qiang's location, the cuckoo had already stood up and saluted the old man, but Xiao Qiang didn't move, he didn't think that this old man had anything worthy of getting up and saluting, as a strong man, Xiao Qiang had the capital and qualifications to sit upright, just like the two white-clothed women and several disciples of Haoran Sect before.
"Huh?"
Raising his head and just glancing at Xiao Qiang, Tian Wanshan was stunned for a moment, and his originally dull eyes suddenly widened, as if he had seen something incredible.
"Something?"
Xiao Qiang glanced at Tian Wanshan lightly and asked very calmly.
Tian Wanshan took a deep breath, ignored the inexplicable eyes of the people around him, and said respectfully to Xiao Qiang: "Hello seniors." â
Xiao Qiang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "You know me?" â
Tian Wanshan shook his head lightly: "The juniors and the seniors don't know each other. â
Xiao Qiangqi said: "Then why do you call me senior?" â
He was really a little strange, this old man was not young, he called out from his seniors, but he really attracted a lot of attention for himself, even several of Haoran's disciples and the two white-clothed women looked at Xiao Qiang in surprise, obviously curious about Xiao Qiang's identity.
I have to say that curiosity is such a thing, even monks are not immune.
I heard Tian Wanshan say slowly: "When the younger generation was young, he once met a stranger, and he didn't give up on the stranger, and taught me the art of alchemy and talismans, but due to the limitations of talent, I didn't achieve anything in my life. But the younger generation still remembers it vividly, the alien who taught me the magic back then was just like the predecessor, his face was like a condensed jade, and the breath on your body could not be concealed. â
Xiao Qiang sighed, he had to admit that Tian Wanshan was right, he was now at the critical moment of breaking through from the Great Perfection of the Qi Condensation Period to the Foundation Building Period, and sometimes the aura on his body could not be concealed.
"This fellow Daoist, I don't know where he comes from?"
At this time, a young disciple of Haoran Sect stood up and walked in front of Xiao Qiang and said to Xiao Qiang with a smile.
Xiao Qiang frowned, glanced at the man, and the momentum on his body rose into the air: "Who am I, I don't need to explain to you!" â
The cultivation of the Great Perfection of Qi Condensation was definitely not something that that person could resist in the early stage of Qi Condensation, and the young man stepped back three steps in a row before he could stand, and his face suddenly turned red: "You! â
Xiao Qiang glanced at the other two Haoran Sect disciples who got up angrily, and said coldly: "Your elders haven't taught you, how should you talk when you see seniors who are higher in cultivation than yourself?" â
As soon as these words came out, those guys were stunned for a moment, and they naturally saw that Xiao Qiang's cultivation was very strong, and he was only slightly inferior to those elders in his own sect.
According to Xiao Qiang's words, it is indeed rude to himself, only looking at the young faces of others, but forgetting about it, cultivating to a certain level of profundity, he can make his face exactly the same as that of young people.
"Sorry, senior, for being rude." Among the three disciples of Haoran Sect, the one waved his hand and asked the other person to help the junior disciple up, and then he gave Xiao Qiang a fist salute.
Xiao Qiang snorted lightly: "It's quite sensible, forget the old man this time, and next time, don't blame the old man for being ruthless!" â
The man glanced at a heavenly thunder talisman that Xiao Qiang placed on the coffee table, and a strange light suddenly flashed in his eyes, revealing a smile and saying, "Thank you seniors for your magnanimity." â
After saying this, he pulled the two junior disciples back to his side.
"Senior brother, that's it? That bastard is the Great Condensation of Qi Consummation, why do you call yourself a senior? The man who was frightened away by Xiao Qiang's momentum said unwillingly to his senior brother.
The senior brother sneered, lowered his voice and said, "Stupid, didn't you see what was on his coffee table?" Hehe, that's a rare earth-level heavenly thunder talisman. Third junior brother, you go and contact the master and ask him to come to the old man's house, I'll see how this guy escapes! â
Seeing the disappearing back of the third junior brother, a sneer appeared at the corner of Xiao Qiang's mouth.
Fish, hooked! (To be continued......)
