Chapter Forty-Nine: Copper Wood Flower (Ask for Recommendation and Collection)
Early the next morning, Mo Cheng came to the house.
He personally explained to Zhu Ping'an, saying that Miss Qin had settled down very properly, so please rest assured.
Zhu Ping'an chatted with him for a while, and at the end Mo Cheng said, the day of the underground trade fair is tonight.
It was still early, and the two of them went out of the house, without an entourage, and wandered around Kyoto City for a day, drinking fragrant tea and listening to small songs, but they were also very suitable.
Seeing that the time was approaching, he came to a compound in the south of the city.
Lu Qian was already waiting outside the door, and when he saw the two of them coming, he immediately greeted them.
Walk through several floors of the courtyard to the innermost hall. The hall was huge, and there were already a dozen guests inside, but it still seemed empty.
On the sandalwood shelves around the hall, there are dozens of beautifully made wooden boxes, all of which seem to be expensive. In fact, the wooden box is secondary, and the strange herbs in the box are the most valuable things here.
Those guests were tasting these medicinal herbs one by one, and when they saw Lu Qian coming in, they nodded.
"This is the second son of the old man of the Wen family in Lingnan, Mr. Wen Wen."
"This is the old man Tong Yum Tong, the owner of the Baisheng Gate outside the Guanwai."
"The scholar over there is dressed as a famous lone thief, Liu Ruyan and Liu's second son."
"Good man, why did you choose the name of a kiln sister?"
Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but glance at Liu Ergongzi more.
"The one over there, it's ......"
Lu Qian whispered to Zhu Ping'an as he walked.
Although I have never heard of the names of these people, judging from Lu Qian's introduction, they are all famous figures in the rivers and lakes. Zhu Ping'an thought that since Lu Qian had become acquainted with these people, his identity was naturally not ordinary.
But Zhu Ping'an didn't care. He secretly used his divine sense to investigate, these people were only worthy of the realm of a grandmaster, and there was no threat to him at all.
"Zhu Gongzi, I don't know if there are any suitable medicinal materials here?"
Lu Qian asked with a hint of flattery.
"Let's take a look before we talk ......"
Zhu Ping'an was noncommittal.
With his hands behind his back, he paced leisurely, examining the herbs one by one.
Coincidentally, the two herbs that treated Lu Qian were quickly found. But the mushu grass and iron bone flowers he needed were nowhere to be found. It's that Zhu Ping'an thought too simply, these two medicinal herbs are just the most ordinary things in the Cave Heaven Blessed Land of the Immortal Realm, but Dazheng is located in the remote northern region, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to find it all over.
"Huh? This is? ”
Just when Zhu Ping'an was about to be disappointed, Zhu Ping'an found an extremely strange medicinal herb. It looked like a dead branch, glowing with purple-black fluorescence, and at one end of the dead branch, a small red and white flower grew.
"Could it be a copper wood flower?"
With the immortal version of Du Niang in his mind, Zhu Ping'an quickly recognized the origin of this herb.
The purple copper wood flower has the effect of both the wood beard grass and the iron bone flower, but the medicinal power is a little worse.
"Since I can't find the Mushu Grass and the Iron Bone Flower, I have to use it instead."
Zhu Ping'an said in his heart.
After all, I don't know when the Mushu Grass and the Iron Bone Flower will be found, but the Mixed Yuan Pill must be refined as soon as possible to strengthen his body.
He knew that after the last Tengu Eclipse Sun incident, he had become a thorn in the side of Liu Ruchang's faction, and there would definitely be no shortage of open guns and hidden arrows in the future. If you accidentally win the jackpot, it's a big game.
The sooner you refine the body of the mixed element, it is one more talisman.
Seeing that everything he needed had been found, Zhu Ping'an whispered to Lu Qian, and Lu Qian was also very happy.
At this time, a bearded man came out of the back hall, with a brocade robe and jade belt, his expression was very heroic, and before the person arrived, he hugged his fists and laughed, "Everyone, Qiu is late, rude and rude." ”
When the guests in the hall saw the visitor, they clasped their fists and saluted.
"This is the master here, surnamed Qiu Xingchuan, and he is also a martial arts master."
Lu Qian whispered to Zhu Ping'an.
Qiu Xingchuan smiled loudly again, "Today, Qiu's goods here, I don't know if it can get into your eyes?" You've seen it too, so please sit down first, and if you like it, you can bid later. ”
With that, he made a gesture of please, and sat down in one of the chairs.
The crowd sat on the chairs on either side.
"Mr. Lu, these two little brothers are a little faceless, I don't know what they are?"
After sitting down, Qiu Xingchuan found that there were two strange young people sitting next to Lu Qian.
Zhu Ping'an's true identity, Lu Qian is not clear. Although he knew Mo Cheng's origin, he couldn't be an outsider, so he replied vaguely, "Master Qiu, these two are Mo Gongzi and Zhu Gongzi, after Lu's deceased, today Lu Mou brought him to see the world." ”
Qiu Xingchuan nodded.
He opens the door to do business, and as long as he can afford the money, he is a guest, who does he care? Just asked casually. What's more, Lu Qian is also an old acquaintance, so he will definitely not bring people to make trouble. And even if someone makes trouble, since he Qiu Xingchuan can put on this scene, he will not be afraid.
The rest of the people saw that Zhu Ping'an and the two were young, and they didn't look at it at all.
Next, everyone puts a price on what they like, and the old rule is that the highest price wins.
The process is also very bland, almost all of them are acquaintances here, and after a few prices, it is clear that whoever wants to get a certain herb will take the initiative to withdraw. If it is a forcible battle, firstly, it will be a useless waste of silver, and secondly, the people here are all powerful and have backgrounds, and no one wants to offend anyone easily.
After half an hour, the medicinal herbs here were auctioned off, and the two plants for Lu Qian to refine the medicine were also successfully obtained.
Everyone knew that he had just recovered from a serious illness and urgently needed these herbs to cut off the root of the disease, so no one fought with him.
"This copper wood flower, the reserve price is three thousand taels, I don't know who is interested?"
Seeing that today's business is booming, Qiu Xingchuan's laughter is even more hearty.
The copper wood flower is extremely rare, and most people in the hall have never heard of it, let alone know its efficacy. At this time, I heard Qiu Xingchuan say that the reserve price was three thousand taels, and for a while, no one made a bid.
"This herb, Lu is willing to give three thousand taels."
At Zhu Ping'an's signal, Lu Qian called out the first price.
In fact, Qiu Xingchuan didn't know much about the efficacy of this copper wood flower, and at the price of three thousand taels, he didn't have much confidence. At this time, I was pleasantly surprised to see Lu Qian willing to buy it.
"Mr. Lu is willing to pay three thousand taels, do you have any high bids?"
Qiu Xingchuan said with a smile. He thought to himself, even if no one bids, he would not lose money if he sold three thousand taels.
"I'll give four thousand taels."
Before Qiu Xingchuan's words fell, a shrill voice with a playful tone sounded.
When everyone heard this, they looked at it, and it was Liu Ruyan who was dressed as a scholar.
It was not unusual for someone to bid, and Lu Qian was not annoyed, and said slowly, "Five thousand taels." ”
Qiu Xingchuan was stunned at first. He didn't expect that the market would rise by two thousand taels in an instant, which was really a bit unexpected to him.
It's not over yet.
"I'll give you six thousand taels."
"Seven thousand taels."
"I'll give eight thousand taels."
Seeing that Liu Ruyan followed closely and raised the price to eight thousand taels, Lu Qian was also a little uncontrollable, and his face gradually became gloomy.
Zhu Ping'an also frowned, and couldn't help but look at Liu Ruyan again, and saw that his face was as handsome as a woman, but it was slightly pale, as if he had applied a thick layer of foundation.
Zhu Ping'an said in his heart, "Just now, everyone was like a dinner invite, you pushed me." Why did you come to me, you little white face, like a dog seeing meat and bones, snatching it with your life? I deliberately can't get along with this marquis, right? Since you want to play, this Hou Ye will play with you. ”
Although he was annoyed in his heart, he still had a light smile on his face, and said lightly, "I'll give 20,000 taels." ”
The sound was not loud, but it sounded like thunder in the hall.
