Chapter 9: The Pit

From a distance, Xuanqing City is a square city, and on the four sides of the city, there are the four most influential forces in the city today, the Tang family in the east, the Mo family in the west, the Kashi auction house in the south, and the Black Wing Gambling House in the north.

In order to make their forces more influential and powerful in Xuanqing City, the four families have been fighting openly and secretly for many years, but a square area located in the center of Xuanqing City is not within the scope of this battle.

In order to better promote the growth of strength and for the sake of peace on the surface, the four major forces have made it clear many years ago that the central area of Xuanqing City is Liberty Fang City, and the four families each occupy 20% of the position, and the remaining 20% is reserved for the development and occupation of small and medium-sized forces in the city.

"Come, take a look at it, what a good bun, it's not delicious, don't pay for it"

"Fresh beast meat, meat of low-level demon beasts with sharp horns and demon pigs, sell cheaply"

As soon as he walked into the market, Tang Yang heard bursts of shouting, Xuanqing City, whether it was monks or ordinary people, was in an endless stream, extremely lively, pedestrians went to stop in front of various stalls, and the sound of bargaining was endless.

"It seems that this city is really lively, I haven't come out for a long time to have a good walk, and even my bones are about to rust."

In a remote corner, Tang Yang happily stretched his waist and walked forward along both sides, without making any eye-catching movements, after all, he was also a celebrity in Xuanqing City, of course, it was not a positive teaching material.

Walking aimlessly along the stalls on both sides, he stopped in front of a shop with a narrow entrance.

"Juqi Pharmacy, what a strange name," Tang Yang saw this shop, and gave birth to a strange feeling, he was also a person who had been in Xuanqing City for more than ten years, how could there be a shop that he didn't know?

Go inside, make up your mind, and walk inside.

The interior of the shop is very simple, all of which are made of the most common ten-year trees, the narrow door makes the room very dim, in front of you is a large medicine cabinet on three sides, tightly blocking the wall, there is a rattan chair behind the half-height medicine table, and a man who cannot tell his age is lying.

It is worth mentioning that in front of the medicine cabinets on both sides there is a sculpture holding a spear. There was no second guest in this room except himself.

"Well, what do you want to buy?"

Tang Yang was looking around curiously, feeling that someone was talking to him, but he saw that the man lying on the rattan chair before was looking at him with interest, and from the outline, it could be seen that this was a man about thirty or forty years old, and a pair of bright eyes made Ben's ordinary face a little more radiant.

"Oh, I'm going to buy three, two, and six-petal flowers, one or two turtle lings, and snake oil for five coins and medium demon snakes......" A series of names were spoken, Tang Yang looked at the man expectantly, because some of the medicines were very biased, and he was not sure if there was one in this medicine store.

"Heh, it's all some basic herbs, just some" Hearing that Tang Yang needed it, the man just opened a few on the medicine cabinet in the middle, took out a few paper bags, wrapped them, and handed them over, "A white spirit stone" Tang Yang, who was about to take out the silver taels, stopped his movements when he heard this, and looked at the man in disbelief.

Seeing the man looking at him with a smile on his face, Tang Yang knew that he had heard correctly, what are you kidding, a white spirit stone is equivalent to fifty taels of gold, and one tael of gold is equivalent to fifty taels of silver, although it is not easy to collect what he wants, but it can be done at most ten taels of silver in other pharmacies, and it has actually multiplied more than two hundred times here?

Tang Yang secretly scolded the profiteer, and was about to turn around and leave, because the asking price was too outrageous, although he now had some capital, but he couldn't withstand such a squander.

"What's going on?" Tang Yang's heart chuckled, he couldn't move at all, but when he looked up, he couldn't help but feel a little creepy when he saw the man's smile, and his hand involuntarily took out a stone that emitted a crystal white light and handed it over, and subconsciously took away those elixirs, turned around and went out.

"Fuck, it's too pit, it's damned, ah~~~~" Out of the door, Tang Yang reacted, looking up to the sky and howling, the screams were extremely harsh in the lively market.

Why are you so confused, it's a white spirit stone, in exchange for such a little herb, this time it's really a loss to grandma's house.

"Could it be that person did it? Impossible, how can there be such a terrifying method in the world, it seems that I am really used to being a gentleman" smiled bitterly, just think of it in your heart.

Feeling that the surroundings were quiet, but when he turned around, he saw that the surroundings were looking at him with a nervous face, Tang Yang secretly said that it was not good, and quickly plunged into the crowd.

"Wasn't that the waste of the Tang family just now? Why don't you stay in the Tang family, why are you running here?"

"Didn't you hear that he can cultivate? I heard that he also defeated Tang Zhen who was quenching the fourfold body."

"No, isn't it all two years old?"

"Hey, it's too late to be able to cultivate, it's really not a shame, the waste is still running around"

"Shhh, be quiet, no matter how you say it, it's the Tang family, if you are caught, it will be over"

......

"What do you think of that kid?"

Just as Tang Yang had just plunged into the crowd, the middle-aged man from the Juqi Pharmacy seemed to be talking to himself.

"Hmm... Endure... That's good...", which Tang Yang had just regarded as one of the two sculptures, slowly raised his head.

"There is such a teenager in such an area, interesting, interesting......" The man seemed to be talking to himself, as if he was talking to someone to listen to.

After shuttling through the crowd for a long time, Tang Yang stopped. But it is still difficult to get rid of the grievances in my heart.

"Hey, this is ......" In front of me is a relatively narrow street, there are not many shops on either side, but there are many people setting up stalls here. At this point, what had just happened was instantly forgotten.

"If you actually got here, let's go to this treasure place and have a look" Following the crowd, Tang Yang also entered this street.

After walking for a long time, Tang Yang didn't see anything that could attract him.

Unlike other places, the vendors here rarely take the initiative to shout, and most of them put out their items, write down the requirements or exchange forms, and start a long wait.

Most of them are local residents of Xuanqing City, but there are also a few people from Lincheng, which also gives people who are keen on gold panning more choices and even opportunities.

"Hey, there seems to be something good there" After walking for a while, a stall set up by a sloppy old man attracted Tang Yang's attention.

The stall was not very stocked, and it was not surprising compared to the nearby stalls, with bits and pieces of unrecognizable stones, a few old books with rotten covers, a piece of swarthy iron, and a piece of wood that looked like it was going to decay at any moment.

"Uncle, how do you sell these stones?" Tang Yang asked casually.

"Yo, here, look, it's all good things, these stones are all at a fair price, a white spirit stone. ”

Seeing someone coming, the old man introduced energetically, and that tone was as if he had seen an old friend who had not seen him for many years.

"A piece of white spirit stone, why don't you grab it?" Tang Yang was a little speechless, in his opinion, this was obviously just some random stones.

"Eh, you can't say that, it's a strange thing, and only a discerning person can find its utility useful. The old man looked at Tang Yang with a smile, grinning with a mouth without many teeth.

"Come on, I'm not stupid, how can I sell that piece of iron?" Tang Yang pointed to the black piece of iron, the reason why he came here was attracted by this piece of iron, Tang Yang always felt that he was a little special.

"That's, hey, it's easy to say, five white spirit stones"

The old man smiled wickedly and held out five fingers.

", you rob, that's it, do you want five white spirit stones?" Hearing the offer, the corners of Tang Yang's mouth twitched a little.

"Eh, this is what you don't know, this is passed down from my grandfather's grandfather's generation, according to legend, it is left by a big man who stands up to the sky, and it is of great use......" Seeing that Tang Yang was interested, the old man simply opened his mouth and gushed.

"A white spirit stone, it can't be more," Tang Yang was not fooled, and bargained directly.

"No, four, it can't be less, no less will not be sold. ”

"Two at most, if it doesn't work, I'll leave" Tang Yang made a gesture of wanting to leave.

"Alas, alas, don't, two is two, oh, this piece of sacred wood will be given to you" In the end, the old man compromised, and handed over a piece of iron and wood with a reluctant look.

"Return the Divine Tree, why don't you say it's an artifact" Tang Yang pursed his lips in disdain, and didn't say much, Tang Yang dropped two white spirit stones and accepted the items handed over by the old man.

"Don't forget to come often" Before leaving, the sloppy old man waved to Tang Yang with a treacherous face. No matter how Tang Yang looks at it, he has a feeling of being deceived.

"It's strange to come again," Hearing this, Tang Yang almost stumbled and left without looking back.

After going around this square market and having a full meal, he returned to Tang's house when night was approaching.
